Prompt: "I think I'm in love with you and I'm terrified" - Rodan x King Ghidorah - Kaiju version

Rodan was mad at himself, but he didn't know what to do. He looked over to the alien who had taken a huge spot on his volcano for quite a while already.

All of Ghidorah's heads were resting against the warm ground, wings stretched across the rocks, making him look like a golden mat that Rodan had somehow dragged into his nest. All three pair of eyes were closed, which meant Rodan could stare at him with no problem and no fear of getting caught.

The lava reflected so beautiful on Ghidorah's golden scales… Rodan turned his face away, once again silently screaming at himself.

No, no, he shouldn't do this to himself, he simply couldn't! Not now, specially not now!

He was healing, flying was still a chore, and he still felt a numbness on the tip of his tail and claws, all thanks to Mothra's stinger and paralyzing venom. Beside of course some other cuts and scratches all over his face.

But Ghidorah was much worst. He had yielded during the battle with nothing but one head and a half still intact; big chunks of his golden scales were missing, and his body was covered in cuts and burns; His gigantic wings were damaged here and there, and a part of one of his tails was missing. He had healed quite some by now, but there was still some to go.

Ghidorah was strong, Rodan knew that, he would try fighting the King without thinking twice even in that state. But Rodan worried. What would the king do once he found out Ghidorah was staying on Rodan's nest? What would Godzilla do to him?

He was the only titan on the world that stood by Ghidorah's side, he knew that some believed that he was being faithful to him only due to fear of retaliation, and that others just thought he wanted to turn against Godzilla – after all, they've never really had that much of a friendly relationship.

But no, there was another reason. And that was the reason that angered Rodan the most.

There was something on Ghidorah that simply appealed to him the more they spent time together. And it wasn't just his alpha status, or his strength and power, his dominance. No, it was beyond that.

When Rodan saw the golden titan, he felt his heart beat faster; when they looked each other in the eye by a chance, he wished to be able to stare into those red eyes forever and ever; when the alpha spoke to him, Rodan listened intently, the voice burning into his mind, no matter what was being said.

He didn't know exactly when that happened, but he knew it wasn't a new feeling. He had felt it before, a long time ago, but had long forgotten about it. Or so he thought. Everything just came tumbling back once he heard Ghidorah's call… The one he once wanted as a mate…

But as if Ghidorah would want him as his mate! Him! One of the weakest of titans out there, and also one of those who helped the king lock the golden demon on a piece of ice! It was stupid to even dream of it! He knew Ghidorah had gone for him first because he remembered what he did, he wanted to make him bow to the one he had once helped imprison. Why would Ghidorah even feel something for him, beside… Just owning him? That was basically it, isn't it? Nothing more than that… Nothing…

But then why did Ghidorah yield when Rodan called for him? Part of Rodan told him it was stupid to fantasize about it, but another part begged him to do so. Did Ghidorah yield because of him? He remembers how pathetic he was at that moment, trashing on the floor like a fish out of the water, being barely able to flap his wings, both thanks to Mothra's damage and the paralyzing venom. Why would Ghidorah react in such a way after seeing him like that? It was stupid…

Rodan froze when noticing three pair of eyes staring at him. He accidentally let out a screech and turned away from his alpha.

"What's gotten into you?" Ni hissed, lifting his head slowly from the ground.

"Nothing…!" Rodan quickly said.

"Rodan." The fire bird immediately reacted to hearing his name being mentioned. "If there is something bothering, be honest and tell us the truth." San said after his brother. "Now." Ni added, in a more commanding tone, only if the sweet one didn't turn out to be useful.

Rodan hesitated, feeling the need of doing as his alpha told him, but still feeling the need of holding it back, as if his thoughts and feelings weren't something dignified to be shown to the bigger titan.

But those red eyes staring down at him forced the truth out of him like a hand grasping his neck till the words come out.

"I… I think I'm in love with you… And I'm terrified…!" Rodan decided to just say it all at once.

He didn't turn to the golden titan, but he could feel all those eyes staring at him, burning through his soul.

There was silence for a moment, before he felt something press against his warm body, making him go still. San reached for Rodan first, resting against his neck, Ni rested against his wing, and Ichi pressed against his head in a gesture Rodan wasn't expecting from them, and their meaning was blatantly obvious without the need of words.

His heart beat fast on his chest, filled with all sorts of feelings. Fear, love, desperation, passion, anger, sadness… He didn't know what to feel first! He wasn't expecting it to be… So easy… Part of him felt there was something wrong there, but another part of him told him not to complain about it.

What was the real meaning behind those actions? Did… Ghidorah share Rodan's feelings?

Rodan still wasn't sure about it and he felt like he wouldn't be either way, so he just leaned against the touch.

"Well, you should be…" Ghidorah said against his ear hole, making his whole body shake.

Rodan finally looked up at the three heads and he could almost see what they meant by both those words and the gesture.

He was in love with the enemy of the king, the enemy of the king was in love with him. He had chosen his side when he bowed down to Ghidorah, and now, right now when all was said and done, there was no turning back.
