Chapter 7
Sleepily, I opened my eyes. This time I woke up into warmth and comfort. Glancing upwards, I saw Haku. I was, apparently, sleeping in his arms. Memories of what happened last night came flooding back, and I blushed, remembering some of the words that I had said. By the time I looked up again, I bas beet red with nothing to hide the colour.
Haku smiled in his sleep. He must have been having a great dream, and I wondered what it was about. I wanted it to be me, just like the way I dreamt about him, but I knew that he wouldn't love me the way I love him. But at that moment, I just wanted him to hold me like that forever, forgetting all my worries and just loving him like that. I longed to gaze into his emerald green eyes, and, as if on cue, he slowly opened them.
Blushing slightly again, I nuzzled further into his chest. I almost didn't catch his grin, and it almost went from ear to ear. Secretly, I also grinned like that, but my face was buried, so he couldn't see it.
A very unexpected thing occurred. He morphed into a dragon, that is, the most beautiful dragon that I believe existed in both worlds. He still had a teal mane and perfectly white scales, but he was much longer and seemed stronger than last time. I was so obsessed with staring at him I failed to notice the long grin the spread across his muzzle.
In a flash, I was within a circle of scales and mane, and a sleepy, grinning dragon gazing at me. I lost my balance, as one of the his loops had somehow slid under my foot and tripped me. I fell over, landing with an, "Ouf!"
I landed on my back, with one of my legs under his loop and one another on top of it. I turned and looked into his eyes, once again getting lost in them. Subconsciously, I reached out and stroked his muzzle. He let out a cat-like purr, but it was much deeper.
I didn't know how much time had passed before I spiralled into dreamland once again.
