Chapter 18
"Aren't you?" Ruwalk leaned closer, whispering a hair's breadth from Alfeegi's lips. The yellow dragon officer gently pressed his body against the strawberry blond, placing his hands on the desk behind his companion. "Hungry, I mean." Brown eyes studied the white dragon officer's reaction.
"I," The chief secretary felt his will to resist...lacking. Crystalline copper eyes closed as he allowed his mouth to remain slightly open. "Yes." The strawberry blond dragon breathed. Brown eyes closed as he claimed his lover's mouth in a passionate kiss. Ruwalk's hands touch the other's sides.
Alfeegi let out a breath as the brunet pulled him up to sit on his desk. The white dragon officer wrapped his legs around his companion's waist and brushed, with delicate fingers, through dark brown hair. The yellow dragon officer kissed the other's lips once more before opening the strawberry blond's shirt. Ruwalk kissed his lover's chest, sliding his hands over the other's thighs.
The secretary of state gently pushed the Crystalline copper eyed dragon back. As the brunet was crawling onto the desk to thoroughly ravage Alfeegi, the strawberry blond had reached out to ease his decent on to the desk. The chief secretary's arm inadvertently knocked over a vase that, until just now, contained a gorgeous and perfectly arranged bouquet of flowers with gracefully accenting grasses. The secretaries blinked at each other with matching sweat drops from the resulting crash.
"Oops?" Ruwalk helped his companion off the desk and half smiled, trying to lighten the mood.
"That was my favorite vase." Alfeegi pouted, crouching to have a better look at the mess.
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault." The white dragon officer began picking up the glass pieces of the shattered vase.
"Where did all these flowers come from." The brunet crouched beside the strawberry blond and started gathering up the colorful plants.
"Rune gave them to me."
"Rune?" the brunet probably shouldn't be thinking this, but a spark of jealousy reared it ugly head. The yellow dragon officer shook his head, quick to dismiss it. There's no way.
"Yes." Alfeegi nodded. "Earlier today, I was in the middle of reviewing the plans for reconstruction of the western green house for Lord Lykouleon's approval, when our dragon knight of water came in with a bright smile and an arm full of flowers."
"That must have been before he left." Brown eyes studied the strawberry blond as he nodded again. Why would Rune go to all that trouble when he should have been, I don't know, packing or something?
"Yes."
"They smell wonderful." Ruwalk stood, hugging the flowers. The brunet wasn't against anyone giving Alfeegi flowers. In fact, it was a nice thought. The yellow dragon officer took a breath among their petals, before laying them on the desk. So why...
"They do, don't they?" Alfeegi smiled. "And they were so carefully arranged. I might have to ask Rune to arrange another bouquet for me when he gets back." The brunet frowned. I'm not jealous, I'm not. "Ouch." The strawberry blond jerked his hand back.
"What's wrong?" The brunet knelt by the white dragon officer again, to see what happened. Crystalline copper eyes focused on his forefinger. "Did you cut yourself?" A tiny drop of blood pearled over the skin.
"It's nothing." Alfeegi assured his companion. The yellow dragon officer took hold of his beloved's hand. The brunet whipped a handkerchief from his pocket tore off a scrap with his teeth and wrapped up the injured digit.
"There." Ruwalk tied the tiny ends in a petite knot. Crystalline copper eyes blinked, looking at the unnecessary waste of a perfectly good handkerchief and couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you." Alfeegi kissed Ruwalk's cheek. There's nothing to be jealous about, the brunet dragon smiled to assure himself.

Next morning.

Kai-Stern awoke to the stunning morning light, filtered through the sheer curtains trailing down every window of his room. The albino sighed, grateful that they let him sleep in his room even though he had a temperature. That's right. The blue dragon officer was supposed to report back to Dr. Arvis as soon as he awakened.
The albino closed his eyes and rolled over. It was warm and soft in his bed and he didn't like doctors anyway. Nothing personal against Dr. Arvis. He was actually one of the few physicians the secretary of foreign affairs considered competent. It's just...
Sleeping in after noon is one of the sweet liberties a dragon has to tell him he's alive and most importantly, free. Or maybe it was the fact that he didn't want to face Lykouleon after he humiliated himself yesterday. Kai-Stern chose the former.
The albino felt a tug on the blankets and tugged back before he realized there shouldn't be a tug on the blankets. The blue dragon officer heard a thin, high pitched whine before a warm body shifted beside him. A knee brushed against Kai-Stern's and a hand reached out and clutched the sleeve of his night shirt.
Panic was the first emotion that set in. Naturally many questions followed. First, who is this person? Second, how did this person get in my bed? Third, did I black out again and do something completely inappropriate that I may not be able to forgive myself for? This memory loss business is even worse than getting drunk, except no hang over. Although, this case was probably going to involve a really big headache.
When the shifting of this other person stopped, he felt breath tickle his lips. A soft snoring floated in the air like the purr of a contented kitten. It can't be so bad, I'm in the castle after all so it couldn't be some paid girl. But if the blue dragon officer narrows it down to the last couple of people he saw last night...
Gods no! If it's Lord Lykouleon, I promise I kill myself to apologize. Light yellow eyes opened,...slowly. Black hair, white wisp in his bangs. The albino heaved a sigh of relief, relaxing instantly. It's just him. Kai-Stern smiled, remembering, finally, that the boy often snuck into his bed on the first night he'd return home but with the infirmary and curfew the fire dragon knight probably never had the chance to get past the guards.
The blue dragon officer was never so happy to see the little trouble maker. Light yellow eyes watched the dreaming boy and couldn't help but smile. After all of the strange happenings and odd looks, Rath never once treated him any differently. The frosty haired dragon wrapped his arms around the boy and gave him a squeeze.
"Hmm." The raven haired dragon knight loosely draped his arm over the officer's middle. "What's up?" half lidded red eyes looked up at light yellow.
"I'm so glad it's you." The blue dragon officer told him.
"Mm." Rath groaned cramming his face into the folds of the albino's night shirt, not wanting to be disturbed. "You're weird." The fire dragon knight told him.
[Is it morning already?] Fire perked up from a pillow behind the raven haired youth, with a message card.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" The secretary of foreign affairs smiled. After a scare like that, you can't help but be high spirited.
[I'm still sleepy.] The fire dragon rubbed his dark eyes.
"I think Crewger is too." Rath slipped his arms around Kai-Stern's neck and nuzzled under his chin. Upon hearing his name the white beast lifted his head. Rath yawned.
Crewger somewhat awkwardly crawled in-between the dragon knight and Fire. Prodding the boy with his muzzle. The brunet dragon whined with irritation so Kai-Stern reached over the teen and stroked the animal's soft white fur. Crewger gave a deep contented groan as it laid its head down on the blankets. Light yellow eyes saw that Fire had already fallen back to sleep. You'd think these guys stayed up all night.
The blue dragon officer felt the brunet breathing contented in his arms. Crewger and Fire snoring near by...he would hate for anything to happen to them. Why can't I remember anything after the fall? It doesn't make any sense. What's happening to me? He remembered Tetheus' words. Could I be...a danger to them? If I can't control myself...is it possible I might...hurt them? He squeezed the boy tighter, not wanting to admit the possibility.
