Jynx's giggles emanated down the hall before she herself emerged, Vilkas at her side. I smiled at her as she came forward, slightly off balance as she sat next to me. Her stomach was swollen with an unborn child, that Vilkas was still beaming over. The werewolf was more comfortable with being around the dov than he was when he first came here.
It's been a year since we took control, and now, in any city, it's not uncommon to see several dragons. The people have grown used to it, and found that it was peaceful once again. Now with no Stormcloak or Imperial sides, everything was silent. Even the Altmer were docile, but I think that was because when they came to our shores, we beat them back far into sea. Well, the dragons did, I had slept all day, waking to find Alduin covered in blood.
Alduin was at my side, an arm wrapped around my waist, tucked under his wing. Alduin still didn't like Jynx, though he had a tolerance with her, because she became almost like my sister, and Alduin allowed it.
"I'm going to my house near Whiterun, I still have a few things to grab and bring here." She said, kissing my cheek and getting back up. Although she had gained the right to have the key to her exit, she still ran it by us, either it was habit or not, I didn't know. Vilkas sighed, following after her quickly, nodding to me and Alduin, before disappearing.
We were out in a courtyard, where servants would run by at random time, or a dragon or two would fly by overhead. I shifted and leaned against his shoulder, letting my head rest against him. I squeaked slightly when he moved me to his lap, spinning me around so our chests pressed against each other, his wings forming around us like a cocoon.
"Hi." I said, pressing my lips to his for a moment before nuzzling into his neck. He purred at me, his hands sliding down my sides and resting on my hips. I was wearing my dragon priest armor, which has been added to, as in the piece that wrapped around my waist now had a see-through black fabric, overtop of tight, black leather trousers and boots. The fabric fell to my ankles, parted down the front for free movement. The fabric, at the moment, now encased Alduin's legs like a blanket, with my legs straddling his hips.
"I never get tired of seeing you in this outfit." He purred, dislodging me for another kiss, his tongue sliding in my mouth for a brief moment, pressing against mine before pulling out, leaving me to whine. He chuckled, his tongue slipping in again. I let my arms wrap around his neck, pulling him even closer. He hummed, vibrating our joined lips, as one of my hands slid down to his chest, fingers sliding past the fabric of his button up shirt, running my fingers along the skin. One of his own hands came up and helped unbutton it for me to run my fingers over more skin. I felt him purr into the kiss when I followed his silent request. I pulled away, panting slightly. I let out a breathy laugh when he went to my neck, his tongue sliding over the scarred flesh.
I tilted my head, giving him more skin. He continued for a moment longer, before pulling away, pulling me closer into his chest. I snuggled into him, feeling his wings tighten around me. I sighed contently, closing my eyes.
But then he moved, standing and forcing me to stand. "Hey!" I complained, shivering slightly as the warmth of his wings disappeared.
"I'm sorry, Lokaal, but I want to snuggle you in bed." He said, pulling me out of the courtyard and through the castle. I let him lead me through the place, heading up the stairs that led up to our room. He pulled me inside, shutting the door quickly. I stopped to pull off my armor, placing it on a table before joining him on the bed, allowing him to pull me into his embrace again.
Alduin wrapped his wings around me once more, bringing me into his warmth once more. With a another sigh, I relapsed back into his arms, pressing against his chest, hearing his heart pound under my ear. I nuzzled farther into him.
He chuckled while I did so, tightening his arms around me.
"I love you." He purred at me, resting his chin on top of my head. Until that moment, I never realized how well we fit together. I was fitted perfectly against him, nothing between us. My heart suddenly started to pound, affection coming off in waves. I closed my eyes and nestled into him even farther, nuzzling into his neck, breathing in a content sigh. I wanted to stay like this forever, never moving. The cocoon of wings tightened, warming me even more. I kissed the skin beneath my lips, letting my tongue slide over the smooth flesh, savoring the flavor. Alduin let out a suppressed groan when I continued to run my tongue over the spot.
I let him flip us once more, my back pressed against the cool sheets, his hands all over my body, attacking my neck with his mouth. I moved so his mouth detached from my neck, moving my hand to his neck so we could kiss. Our full tongue tied passionate kisses downgraded into a loving press of lips without tongues. I pulled back, panting slightly, looking in his blood red eyes. He nuzzled lovingly into my neck. I felt my eyes start to droop, growing heavy all the sudden. I closed them and when he teased me, I simply stared up at him with bleary eyes, causing him to bend down and press his lips to mine one last time before settling down against me. Alduin always slept on either his side or stomach, for his wings made it nearly impossible for him to lay like I could.
I closed my eyes and submitted into the soothing darkness.
I opened my eyes, however, to utter darkness. I froze, never, never, had it been this dark in this room. The sunlight or the moonlight always shone through the opening in the ceiling. I sat up….I was alone, which confused me even more. Alduin never left before I woke up, or waking me up long enough to tell me he's going and I'd just fall back asleep, waking in his arms later.
"Alduin?" I called and suddenly the room lit up, and I screamed.
There was a monster, roaring in the center of the massive room. The thing was so ugly and distorted, I didn't even know how to describe it. The door was left ajar, clearly broken off it's hinges. Alduin was suddenly on top of me, saying something, but I couldn't hear over the roaring of the thing in the room. And he looked scared, I've never seen that look in his eye before.
All the sudden, Alduin was pulled off me, by the monster, and was held, several feet off the ground. The thing took a wing in between two fingers and pulled. Alduin's scream had me on my feet and running towards the thing.
"RUN!" Alduin's voice finally cut through the thing's and I was running, just not in the way he wanted to, but to my horror, I wasn't moving fast enough. I did, however, finally make it when the thing dropped Alduin, who landed with a sickening thud. I dropped to my knees in front of him, tears welling at the sight of his bloody back, along with a stub were his wing used to be. As I moved to gather his head in my lap, tears dripping down my face…
I was suddenly on my back, against the warm sheets, and Alduin was over me, looking down at me worriedly. "Vincent, wake up!" He said, caressing my face. I surged forward, nearly knocking him backwards. I moved around him, as he seemed frozen and my hands flew to his wings, tucked neatly against his back.
"Spread them." I demanded softly, gently grabbing one of them. He complied, moving slowly. I closed my eyes in relief when they both were there, fully operational and whatnot. I let my forehead fall in-between his wings, trying to clam myself, but failed as tears welled in my eyes again.
"Are you going to tell me what happened?" Alduin's voice came, but I didn't answer. I let the tears fall, which landed along Alduin's spine. "Vincent?" He asked, concerned. He reached back and grasped me, pulling me back in-front of him. "Vincent…" He repeated, his hand coming up to caress my cheek, to wipe my tears away with his thumb. "What happened?" He asked softly, pulling me against his chest and rocking me back and forth.
"Bad dream." I hiccuped slightly, trying to control the downpour of tears, and failing miserably.
"About what?" He pushed, a hand petting me, soothing me enough to take deep breaths.
"You….your wing….got….." I shuddered, holding back another cry, "Ripped off." I tried not to wail, but I failed. His hold on my got tighter as a fresh wave of tears came to my eyes.
"It's alright." He said quickly, spreading his wings. "See? I'm fine." He insisted, wrapping his wings around me tightly, kissing my tears away sweetly. He comforted me until the entrance in the ceiling was no longer dark, but alight with the morning rays.
Alduin simply rocked me back and forth, even long after my tears dried, and we stayed like that until hunger drove us out of bed.
Okay, i'll admit that when i started this, it was gonna end with them going to bed, bc i wanted a lovey-dovey scene between them. Have no clue how the nightmare happened -.-"
anyway, please review~
