Been awhile since I touched this huh? I fear I may have lost my touch.
Seto did not like waiting. He was usually a very patient man, but his new mate was late, and he was growing very irritated. He had already wounded one of the servants that had come with him on the trip to the shrine; he didn't want to be forced to wound another because his mate was late and more than likely making his driver make detours because he didn't want to do the mating ritual. It wasn't the other's choice whether or not he wanted to mate Seto!
Calm down, Seto, he told himself. Getting angry at your new mate will help nothing. Just because he had wanted the male dragon instead of his sister didn't put him at fault. It put the other dragon at fault. He didn't even know the other dragon's name! All he knew was his face, and he'd liked his face. He'd figured they'd make nice offspring. But no, the little bitch had to be complicated.
Mokuba sighed as he sat on a ledge of a cliff near the shrine. He had a perfect view of Seto pacing back and forth and freezing every little thing that dared to get close. He jumped down from his perch and landed with amazing grace. He began walking over to his elder brother, making sure to stay far enough out of range so that he won't end up frozen.
"Seto, you need to calm down. I'm sure he'll be here," he said. Seto looked over and glared at him, something that would make most people piss their pants. But Mokuba was used to it.
"I know he'll be here, Mokuba. But he's stalling. And his sister and father told me that he's never mated with anyone. He's either afraid or determined to stay unmated forever," Seto said.
Mokuba sighed again and rolled his eyes. Oh brother… he thought. Seto was really stressing over this, wasn't he? He didn't even get why! Yeah, the Earth dragon was apparently really good looking, and yeah, he was apparently really strong and out-going and fiery tempered and—damn, no wonder Seto was so stressed! The other dragon was his perfect match! Was it really something to be so worked up over though? To be ready to kill someone over?
Seto heard the carriage pulling into the clearing and whirled around lightning fast. He straightened his own kimono a bit and waited for the other dragon to step out of his carriage. He was hardly prepared for the beautiful sight that greeted him once Joey stepped out of the carriage. He thought the kimono looked beautiful on the blonde dragon's form. He resisted the urge to simply say "fuck it" and drag Joey back into the carriage to have his wicked way with him.
Joey looked around and spotted Seto, a blush settling on his cheeks when he noticed a hungry look in his eyes. He looked away and climbed back into the carriage, figuring that the other dragon was simply one of the help. He was pretty surprised when he saw the other dragon standing in the shrine waiting for him. He sighed and refused the urge to pinch the bridge of his nose. Fuck, he was stuck with someone who more than likely had sex on the brain 24/7. He officially hated his life.
Seto waited for his new mate at the door to the shrine. He noticed the other dragon hesitate, and it almost made him go down and drag him into the shrine. He calmed himself and gave the other his best smile. He gestured for him to hurry along and he saw the other dragon sigh.
Joey walked up to the shrine painfully slow. He eventually got to the steps and climbed them. Seto felt an eye twitch slightly when Joey finally got up the steps.
"I'm ready I guess," he said.
"Took you long enough," Seto snorted. He had been growing impatient. He looked back to his brother who gave him a thumbs up before leading Joey into the shrine. They wouldn't be back out for about four hours, seeing as the ceremony itself lasted three and then they would be given an hour to have sex and give each other mating marks.
Review and let me know if I HAVE lost my touch.
