Not Just a Scratch
Hakyona flash fic
Things had settled down after Kai Empires attack on the Fire tribe and Yona was busy helping Yoon attend to wounded soldiers. Hak watched her, but the longer he did he realized something was a bit off.
"Princess," he grabs her arm, not roughly but to get her attention. "Why do you keep favoring your left leg?"
She smiles, pretending nothing is wrong, "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm fine Hak."
"No, you're not," scooping her up in his arms.
"Hak put me down, I'm fine!" Absentmindedly kicking, but she grimaces from that little movement and he sees it, narrowing his eyes but not saying anything back.
After grabbing a few supplies from Yoon, he carries her into to an empty tent they had set up and sets her down. "Let me see."
Her face starts to flush as she lifts the hem of her skirt, and there plain as day is a deep scratch along the side of her leg, running horizontal to the ground. "It's nothing, just a scratch. See," looking up at him, "it's already stopped bleeding."
Hak shakes his head, "it's just a cut, really? Princess, you of all people by now know how quickly a wound can get infected." He cleans off the wound, careful to remove any dirt or dried blood.
She watches intently at how gentle he is being with her and the fact his hands are rubbing against her leg… her face growing ever more heated…
After applying the salves and wrapping the wound, Hak finally looks up at a surprised and somewhat flustered Yona. "What is it? Do I have something on my face?"
She blinks, looking down at where he was just touching her leg and then to his hands. Did she want to admit, even to herself how much she enjoyed the feeling of his skin upon hers?
Still confused, Hak prepares to stand back up but she grabs his hand. Again, he looks at her with confusion, "Do you need anything else from me Princess?"
Yona sits up, searching his eyes briefly with moisture brimming in her own before cupping his face, "Thank you," and kissing his lips.
Haks eyes widen but unlike the first time this happened, his mind snaps to reality and returns the kiss, while reaching around the back of her neck to pull her closer…
"Hey guys, are you done with…" Yoon pulls back the flap and instantly drops it closed.
"Well?" Jaeha asks, "is there more ointment in there?"
"No!" Yoon blocks the entrance, "it was empty."
"But didn't Hak…"
"Come on Jaeha," pulling the Green Dragon away, "I think there's more over here," pointing at the other end of the campsite…
