Chapter 4
Rune staired almost mesmerized by the colors his blurred vision provided. His hearing was fine and he knew what was going on around him, but he couldn't concentrate well enough to heal himself. Lighting flashed again competing with the light from their small fire. He could hear Thatz exhausted breathing, but at least he was sleeping. Rath on the other hand just sat staring into the fire, and if the elf could get his other senses straight he was sure he would have been enveloped in a wave of sadness. "Rath," his voice came out little more that a whisper.
Rath came to his side quickly, "Oh Rune did I wake you? I sorry," he voice was low and it seemed to hum pleasantly in the blond's ears, "Can I get you some water or something?"
Rune closed his eyes as he shook his head and he found it much easier to concentrate this way, "Rath, what is wrong? You should be sleeping too."
He could hear the dark haired boy sit back and sigh, "I guess I just can't get comfortable."
Even this ill the water knight knew a lie when he heard one, but didn't challenge it, instead a thought came to his mind and he acted upon it, "Come here Rath." The fire knight had gone out of his way to make each of the other two very large beds of leaves. Rath crawled up beside the water knight and when Rune judged he was in just the right spot his hands came up to clasp a warm face. The elf got surprisingly little resistance from his friend as he pulled him down and cradled the dark head against his chest.
"Uh Rune?" Rath started to question only to have his hair stroked scattering his thoughts and pushing the sadness away.
"Shh Rath, just go to sleep," Rune whispered before he himself drifted off.
The next day was hard for Rath thought he wouldn't trade his good night's sleep for anything in the world. With the only one with the stamina to call forth his dragon he had summoned Fire about the size of a horse. From there it was a simple matter to tie him to the litter and the knight carried the other end. Sticking to good paths the swaying put the other two to sleep. He was so concentrated on moving quickly and carefully he didn't notice it was late until it started to get dark.
Sending Fire to hunt the fire knight started going through the bags when a hand grabbed his shoulder. Turning he clenched the small bottle he had retrieved, Thatz and Rune stood there with encouraging smiles.
"Rath sit down okay pal," Thatz said, "We've can at least set up camp while you get something to go over the fire."
Rath shook his head, "I sent Fire, besides he said you can't overexert yourselves." The duel haired boy almost slapped his hand to his mouth as Rune's eyes narrowed. Thatz too noticed the slip of info but let it go.
"Man not overexertion does not mean bed ridden. So I'll make the fire and Rune can set beds up," and with his last order Thatz turned and started to gather good sized stones as a fire wall.
Rune sat by Rath for a moment relived that he could see strait and asked the question that had yet to be answered, "Rath, what happened? You said at dinner last night that you would tell us later. Can you tell me now?"
The fire knight suddenly found his boots very interesting. He didn't want to tell the truth. That he had made a deal with someone as trustworthy as a viper to save their lives. Yea he knew that would go over REAL well. As he racked his brain for something to say Rune put a warm arm around his shoulders and gave him a reassuring squeeze. "That's okay. Just tell us soon okay? We can't help but worry," the elf's voice was a reassuring whisper and in a more spirited tone he added, "Now then it looks like it is going to be another chilly night and if you want to you can help me gather bedding." Rath then realized that he could feel a little chill, and because of his fire training temperatures didn't really bother him. It seemed that winter wanted to make an early appearance.
After a good meal of venison Rath looked over at the bed. Yes 'the bed' as in only one. It was only made sense to share body heat on cold nights particularly if some of the company was ill. And it's not like he hasn't done it before or shared a bed in an over crowded inn. So why was he hesitating to join the beautiful picture of his two friends cuddled together in the blankets. Well quite frankly he wasn't sure he would be able to control himself. His urges were becoming harder to control. Maybe he could come up with an excuse.
~~ A few hours later ~~
Thatz had had enough. Rath was still sitting by the fire and poking at it absently while he held Rune. Normally this kind if thing was acceptable I mean what could possibly be wrong about holding a loved one close and having the other one near. But right now Rath was looking far too lonely and Rune's lips were starting to turn blue. What ever was still in their system was slowing their metabolism and they needed the heat of a certain fire knight.
"Rath get you ass over here," the ex-thief nearly shouted. The sudden noise startled Rath out of whatever funk he had gotten himself into.
"But Thatz, someone has to keep watch," he nearly whined.
"Fire can do it," Thatz motioned in the direction of the dragon that was sitting of to the left, "get in here and get some sleep."
At that Rath got up and started over, looking to all the world like he as going to his execution. Rune looked up from where he clung to Thatz and said, "No it's okay I'm felling warmer."
Rath and Thatz looked at the blueing elf that had stopped shivering. Rath stripped to his under cloths and dove into the blankets and managing to get in between the other two knights in one fluid motion. Thatz clung to the sudden warmth not realizing until now just how cold he was getting. The earth knight looked over his friend's shoulder at the thawing water knight, "Sorry Rune, but that is called hypothermia."
The new contact of warm skin sent even warmer tingles through his body. Thatz wanted to stay up and explore the budding idea that came with it, but he feel swiftly to a resting sleep.
The next morning finds Thatz the first to open his eyes. Well technically opening came later the first thing that he became aware of was holding something, and something warm around his back. After curiosity won over the need to go back to sleep he paused. He was spooned up to one side of Rath with Rune on the other. Both of there heads were on the dark haired knight's chest. Their faces were so close he could feel the elf's warm breath on his cheek. In a rush the tingle was back pulling him like a magnet towards Rune. And he was asleep right a little kiss wouldn't hurt, right? His lips came into the tiniest contact with Rune's and a cool content feeling seemed to flow from that contact point.
Just at that moment the warm arm coiled around him squeezed and he jumped back self-consciously. The red head was sure he skin was matching his hair, all the way down to his toes. With relief he discovered that Rath was only flexing in his sleep. But to be safe Thatz curled back to his previous position, not really meaning to sleep just to appear that way.
Rune was brought to the morning world buy a ..a fulfilling feeling. That was the only way to describe it. Like the feeling a plant gets when it sinks it's roots into just the right soil. But then in was gone. Already morning it's lose the blond knight shifted his head slightly until his cheek exposed cheek came into contact with something that produced the same feeling, if slightly muted. And that was enough for now.
