Chapter 3- Beginning of a Tragedy

"Damn," Alfeegi muttered, as Ruwalk hung his head and sighed in defeat at his missed chance at his boyfriend. With slow reluctance, he crawled off of Alfeegi and looked around for some sort of rag to clean the ink spill with.

Alfeegi slid of the other edge of the desk, blushing and panting slightly at what he and Ruwalk had come close to doing. He shook these thoughts out of his head, trying to calm his blush down, and opened up one of the lower drawers of his desk, pulling out several handkerchiefs.

Ruwalk raised an eyebrow, grinning slightly, "What are all those for?"

"I'm not sure," the white dragon officer sighed, "The maids just put them in there all the time, so I just let them be. Lucky they were here at this point in time, ne?"

Ruwalk shrugged and caught the few handkerchiefs that were thrown to him. Luckily, the ink bottle was fairly small, so it didn't generate as much of a mess when it fell and broke. They soon had it all off the floor and the small portion of Ruwalk's desk it had splattered on. There was a slight stain on the wood floor, but the maids were capable of finding something to fix that.

"Why don't we eat an early breakfast?" Ruwalk asked, grinning at Alfeegi as the white officer's stomach growled deeply again.

"Sure," he mumbled, dumping the tainted rags into the trash can that sat by his desk, Ruwalk following his suit.

As they walked down the hall, they ran into one of the maids that worked earlier than most of the others, and reported the ink stain. Leaving out, of course, how it managed to spill. As they continued walking, Alfeegi suddenly brought up something interesting.

"I'm hoping that you read the documents I left you to sign the other night?" Alfeegi asked, peering at his boyfriend out of the corner of his eye.

"Um... yeah... well, some of them I guess...." came the nervous reply.

"Did you happen to read any concerning a map?"

"A map? No... I don't think so. Why?"

Alfeegi sighed, "I read a report from Kai-Stern saying that the governor from Luwa wanted to extend the port city, so the rural areas wouldn't be so crowded."

"Crowded?" Ruwalk asked in confusion.

"People are flocking to Luwa because of its rise in the fishing industry, thus causing living conditions to decrease as the new people crowd the port. The people that have lived there are crowded and forced to live in less than satisfactory conditions, and the new people that have come to live there are in the same boat."

"I think I get it..." Ruwalk said slowly, "But isn't this something to discuss with Lyk- er, the Lord?"

"I'm bringing this up with you," he said pointedly, "Because the area behind Luwa and Draqueen is foreign. No one has established a city or town in that area, and the new maps have just drawn it as an area of blank land. Now that it is wanted as a building place for a city or town, we need to find an older map of Dragoon. One that better defines the land that Luwa wants."

"Isn't it for Lyk- the Lord to decide if Luwa gets that land or not?"

"He most likely will let them, since, like I mentioned earlier, the fishing industry in Luwa has risen considerably and is an asset to Draqueen."

"Okay... I still don't see what I have to do with any of this..."

Alfeegi turned his head to smirk at him, "The older maps of Dragoon are kept in the vault in the library. I want you to help me look for one."

Ruwalk stopped dead in his tracks, while Alfeegi kept walking, fighting down the evil smile that touched the corners of his mouth. He knew Ruwalk hated endless hours of searching through the vault, especially for something that didn't aide him directly. Making Ruwalk help him search through the massive files that filled the vault was like banning Rath to a town deprived of demons. Simply.... torture.

Of course, the yellow dragon officer immediately started to protest.

"Aw, c'mon 'Feegi!" he whined, and 'Feegi' turned around to look at him, "Don't do this to me! You know I hate that stuffy old vault! As if there weren't enough windows in the library as it is, there's no windows in the vault!"he pouted, stomping closer to the white officer.

"'Aren't any,'" Alfeegi corrected him before turning copper puppy-eyes on him, "Are you saying you don't want to spend time with me in the vault?"

Ruwalks face faulted, and Alfeegi knew he had guilted him into it, "'Feeeeeegggiiiiiiii!!" he whined loudly, "That's not fair! You know I can't turn down a face like that!!"

Alfeegi smiled and stepped closer to Ruwalk, brushing his lips against the others.

"It's revenge for getting me sick," he whispered coyly, letting his warm breath hit the pink lips before him teasingly.

Ruwalk pouted, "Your so... so...."

"Tricky?"

"I was going to say 'cunning'." he replied softly, wrapping his arms around the others waist loosely.

"I got it from you, you know."

"Why are we whispering?"

"I don't know..... Why are you holding me so close?"

"Because your so beautiful," Ruwalk whispered without hesitation. He was rewarded with a small blush that made Alfeegi look even more adorable, if possible. He leaned closer and kissed the smaller officer deeply, nibbling on his bottom lip.

The sudden click clack of boots stepping down a stone hallway sounded and they broke apart, just in time. Tetheus rounded the corner and stopped short at seeing the two officer's, before bowing his head respectfully.

"Good morning," the stony officer greeted.

"Er, morning," Ruwalk answered, "Your up awfully early."

A dark eyebrow rose, "I should say the same for you. You normally don't get up past noon, I believe."

Alfeegi chuckled slightly and Tetheus turned his dark gaze towards the Chief Secretary instead. Too late, Alfeegi remembered the mark Ruwalk had given him on his neck, and Tetheus raised eyebrows confirmed that the Secretary of Defense had seen it.

Blushing slightly, his right hand flew up to cover the embarrassing mark and he looked to the ground, not finding anything to say.

Thankfully, Ruwalk asked, "So, er, you doin' the rounds?" It was a stupid question, granted, but it drew his attention off of Alfeegi.

"Naturally. May I inquire as to what you are doing up so early?"

"Getting an early breakfast, heh. Um, care to join us?"

"I've already eaten, and I must continue my patrol."

"Ok... well, see you."

As Ruwalk and Alfeegi walked off, Alfeegi still blushing slightly, Ruwalk sighed from being released from the embarrassingly lacking and tense conversation.

'This sucks...' Ruwalk thought depressedly to himself. He and Alfeegi were now in the 'stuffy old vault', which was filled with boxes and boxes of 'stupid boring files', as Ruwalk put it.

Indeed, though, the vault was stuffy. It was an unusually warm day, and the lack of fresh air and windows didn't help the thick atmosphere of the vault, even though the heavy metal door was open, along with all the windows in the library. The vault was huge, and the stacks of boxes were taller than any of the fighting dragons. It was made so in case the castle ever came under attack, or flooded, or a fire started, or anything like that, this vault could be closed, and all the old records and maps could be saved. Unfortunately, a lot of it was unorganized and scattered, so if you were trying to find one specific item, it would take quite awhile.

Alfeegi was currently checking one of the middle boxes, standing on a large wooden ladder that the heavy boxes easily supported. The boxes were all cardboard, but slide out of their frames so they could easily be looked into. ((AN: Imagine a metal filing cabinet, only cardboard, lol.)) Some of the older files were in ordinary boxes though, and were in the back of the vault, which is where the two dragon officers had started their search. Those boxes were now stacked on the floor, so they'd be out of the way, and Ruwalk had found a semi-comfortable seating place atop a stack of two of them.

They had been searching for two hours already, after breakfast of course, and since then, random officers and fighters had been wandering in, wondering who could be in the vault. Ruwalk had to explain it all to them, since Alfeegi had buried himself in his task, muttering occasionally or complaining about the boxes not being labeled of being labeled incorrectly. Finally sick of telling the same story over and over, Ruwalk had written why they were 'trapped' in here on a piece of scratch parchment, and stuck it outside the door.

Now, Ruwalk wished he hadn't done that, because there wasn't any excuse for him not to be working, as Alfeegi constantly pointed this out to him. Thoroughly miserable in the 'damned vault' the yellow dragon officer sighed again, resting his head on his fist.

There was, however, one particularly one good thing about the heat and the stuffiness of the huge vault; Alfeegi in a tank top. A dark green tank top that sat on his belt line when he raised his arms up, and thin white pants that tied around the waist, then black slip on shoes ((AN: Y'know.... like the one's Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho always wears? I have no idea what they're called...-.-;;)) 'Sooooo sexy...' Ruwalk thought sensuously to himself as he watched his love work, looking in box after box for that darn map.

Alfeegi hissed slightly, jerking his right hand back and observing the new paper cut on his ring finger, before sticking it in his mouth to clean it of the blood, making sure nothing got on the files to ruin them.

"Another one?" he heard Ruwalk ask below him.

"Yes..." he mumbled absently around his finger, before turning to glare at the other officer, "Shouldn't you be doing something?"

Ruwalk groaned and got to his feet, stretching in his V-neck midnight blue tank top, that showed his tight stomach when he lifted his arms up. Alfeegi blushed slightly and turned back to looking in the box he had been before he got another paper cut, making a grand total of fifteen or so.

He felt the ladder creak under him slightly, but ignored it as he continued to leaf through the files, looking for the specific map. 'Where is it??' he asked himself with slight frustration. Somebody really should've labeled all of these when they put them in this vault!

Suddenly, two slim arms wrapped around his waist, making the chief secretary jump in surprise. Ruwalk leaned forward and nuzzled his already warm neck, nipping it slightly.

"R-Ruwalk!" he started, trying to sound like he was scolding him. It wasn't working though, "Not now! I have to find this map! Besides, this is too dangerous to be doing on a ladder!"

"So get off the ladder," Ruwalk mumbled against his flesh.

Alfeegi tried to shrug him off, "No, Ruwalk! You always do this, then I never get any work done!"

It was true. All too often, Alfeegi would be working diligently, trying to get everything done and over with, when Ruwalk would come in and, one way or another, get Alfeegi to stop working for quite a while.

"Just like last week! Remember? You made me go out in the rain with you, and I missed a week's worth of work being sick!"

After a moment, Ruwalk sighed heavily and the two arms around his waist loosened and let go. Feeling suddenly guilty, he followed Ruwalk down the ladder and turned to face warm brown eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I really need to get this done, Ruwalk."

"I know...." said officer whined, "How can I help myself though? You look so-"

"No!" Alfeegi cut him off, "Don't start that! You always say something to me, and I'll feel guilty, and then you'll sweet talk me into wasting time with you!" 'Dammit! He's already done that!!' he thought to himself in sudden realization.

"I know..." he said again, but moved closer to the flustered white officer anyways, "I can't help it though... its been forever since I kissed you...." he muttered seductively, knowing he was chipping away at Alfeegi's barrier.

"It's been two hours!"the other stated in exasperation, willing himself not to just give up and kiss Ruwalk, but was backing up anyways.

"That's a long time, y'know...." he smiled softly, and soon had Alfeegi back up against one of the huge cardboard walls. He knew it wouldn't fall though, these walls were very sturdy.

Panicking, Alfeegi placed both his hands on Ruwalk's shoulders, trying to hold him back, but the larger officer kept moving forward, and the resistance holding Alfeegi back was wavering.

Now Ruwalk was very close, much to Alfeegi's protest, and had placed both his arms on either side of the white officer, still staring at him lovingly. The chief secretary finally gave up, and used the hands that were still on Ruwalk's shoulders to pull the yellow dragon officer in closer still.

Ruwalk brushed his lips over Alfeegi's gently, not wanting to startle the smaller officer into protesting again. He pressed their bodies closer as he deepened the kiss, moving his hands to rest of Alfeegi's waist, while the others were still on his shoulders, though bent so the elbows were poking the yellow officer slightly. Alfeegi sighed as crystalline copper eyes slowly slid shut, letting Ruwalk slide his tongue into his mouth and caress the others slowly.

Alfeegi was now sandwiched between the cardboard wall and Ruwalk, but the mental wall he normally put up to block out Ruwalk's approaches was, thanks to said officer, down yet again, leaving Alfeegi out in the open and defenseless to the others approaches.

Taking advantage of this, Ruwalk slid his hands underneath the dark green tank top Alfeegi had on, massaging the soft, but sturdy, stomach gently, eventually moving up farther and brushing against one of the pink nipples.

The chief secretary gasped slightly when Ruwalk's fingertips made contact with the soft flesh, and the yellow officer lowered his lips to Alfeegi's sweet spot; his neck. He licked the mark he had made earlier with the tip of his tongue, which Alfeegi told anyone who asked was just a bruise from a pen he had poked himself with, while the assaulted officer found one of his ears and nibbled on the point softly, also dropping his arms down to loop around the larger dragons waist loosely.

Ruwalk moaned into Alfeegi's neck as the other continued kissing and nipping the pointed ear, teasing his sweet spot for once. Ruwalk panted hot air onto the already sweaty chest as he buried his forehead into the crook of Alfeegi's neck, who moved his head for better access to the teased ear. Sweat rolled and dripped down Ruwalk's chin from the combined heat from the vault and the passion he was feeling. He gently rubbed Alfeegi's chest, while finally gaining enough strength in his legs to repeat the actions he had tried earlier in the day.

Alfeegi moaned deeply at the familiar pressure on his groin, moving his hips to shichronize with Ruwalk's, making sparks dance wildly across his vision while the others breath hitched. The smaller dragon panted hot air onto Ruwalk's pointed ear, no longer having any breath to spare by teasing it. The yellow officer rose his head and claimed Alfeegi's lips in a passionate kiss while continuing to grind against him, loving the reaction he was receiving, while his heart beat faster and harder, almost painfully, in his chest. Alfeegi's tongue explored his mouth in fevered lust, the shadow of doubt no longer lingering in his mind.

He knew he wanted this.

But suddenly, the whole earth seemed to tilt dangerously, pressing the two officers painfully close. Ruwalk threw himself off of Alfeegi, saving the lower portions of his body, so he was against the opposite wall as the world continued to shake and rumble dangerously.

"R-Ruwalk!" the white officer called out as a cardboard file dropped to the ground with a loud THUMP!! Ruwalk looked up in horror to see most of the files moving around, swaying and bumping against one another. He tilted his head to look up at his wall, only to it starting to crumble as well.

Alfeegi tried to stumble his way across the room, throwing his arms out for balance, but a sudden pitch of the room had flung the light weight officer to the floor, and he landed painfully on his stomach. Noticing this, Ruwalk dropped to his hands and knees and crawled forward to his kneeling love, eventually reaching the other.

"We have to get out of here!!" Alfeegi yelled, his voice jumping as the earth tremored below them as he grabbed onto Ruwalk's broad shoulders for a little support.

But as Ruwalk looked around, he knew it was hopeless. The boxes were all falling, shaken from their resting places by the force that was shaking the earth, and they were too far from the vault door. But as he pointed this out, Alfeegi disagreed.

"We have to try!" he protested, yelling in Ruwalk's ear to be overheard from the continuous THUMP THUMP THUMP of the falling files, "We could die in here Ruwalk!!"

".....Alright! Let's go!" he grabbed Alfeegi's hand, griping it tightly in his own and tried to make a sprint for the door. The falling of random files and the shaking of the room made this increasingly difficult, and he had to dodge falling boxes by jumping over them or trying to run around them, never letting go of Alfeegi's hand. Another pitch of the room had them both flung painfully against one of the crumbling walls. They ignored their throbbing arms and continued to stumble across the room.

After a moment, the two officers developed a system where Alfeegi's quick mind would tell him how to move and get around the boxes, since there was no time to switch, while Ruwalk dodged the falling ones.

Suddenly, the room tilted dangerously yet again, this time sending both officers hurling to the ground painfully, sliding until they hit one of the crumbling cardboard walls.

Ruwalk was now on his side, his back on the wall while he clutched Alfeegi protectively against his chest. Frantic brown eyes glance up, to judge how far they were from the vault door, but his heart sank in his chest as he saw that it had shut sometime during the tremors.

Alfeegi too glanced up, wearing the same dismal expression as Ruwalk as there hope of escape was lost. But, the yellow officer wasn't ready to die, and was most certainly not prepared to let Alfeegi die. He wrapped both arms around the others chest, lifting him up off the ground and setting him firmly, as he could as the shaking of the earth continued, and looked around for anything that could help them, but there was nothing.

"Look out!" Alfeegi yelled, shoving Ruwalk to the left just as a large file crashed in the place he had been standing a few moments ago. They both knew there wasn't any way they could get out of this alive, and the falling of the boxes just increased, even as the world suddenly stopped shaking. The wall behind Alfeegi buckled dangerously, threatening to fall forward and crush the small officer. Ruwalk saw, to his horror, the whole wall started to lean to one side, teetering forward dangerously.

"Alfeegi!" he cried as he grabbed the others wrist and pulled him against his firm chest. He gripped both thin wrists in one hand and pinned them to Alfeegi's own chest as he turned around and kneeled, completely shielding him. He braced his free arm against the floor by Alfeegi's knee as a box fell dangerously close to them.

A sudden feeling possessed him as the wall started to fall, randomly throwing boxes down to crush the two officers, "I love you," Ruwalk told Alfeegi softly in his pointed ear, before a box struck his back heavily, painfully.
