So this kind of popped into my head and so I was thinking 'why not share my weird thoughts with the internet?' Hope you guys like it, if not you can skip it and wait for the real story that will be after this chapter ^^". Also, please remember that Wendy said dragon's are very intelligent and can talk okay? Okay :]
In a land where only dragons existed, a lone white dragon with yellow spikes running down his back to his tail, glided amongst the thunderclouds. He had a scar running down the right side of his face, something he had gotten when he was just a little hatchling. Lightning would strike his body every now and again but none of that bothered him.
He could shoot lightning from his mouth and fire was no stranger to him. He was one of the most powerful dragons out there but of course he wasn't the only one. There was a dragon that could change her scales to different styles and strengths depending on the dragon she was fighting against. Even one so powerful to disassemble anything and everything in his path without touching it existed. There was a fire dragon that bothered him to no end, though he was his friend. There was also an iron, wind, light, and shadow dragons, which he was at least acquaintances with, but they were on equal terms. Any and all types of dragons existed (so pretty much every wizard is a dragon ^^ teehee).
One night however, he was caught in the middle of a misfire with several rogue dragons attacking each other. He wasn't one to mess with and he was a loner because of his inept behavior towards other dragons. Most of them just thought he was mean and dangerous and hated other dragons, which is why he was alone. Of course it seemed that the fire dragon and black and blue dragon that could control other dragons (Bicksdragon) were the only one who knew that wasn't the case, which is why they would visit the lightning dragon every now and again. The lightning dragon would never mind either of their presences since he didn't really like being alone, but he'd never admit that. Of course the iron, light and shadow dragons would visit him too.
Now that he thought about it, a lot of dragons visited him.
He was thinking this now since the crossfire he tried to get away from caused his leg and wing to be damaged. He was resting under some trees; shooting pain was in his wing more than his leg. It was storming around him, as water would pour on him from above. He couldn't really move well so he didn't bother finding shelter. He suddenly felt the rain stop hitting him even though it kept thundering around him.
He noticed that some giant leaves were pulled over top of him so the rain would stop hitting him. When did that happen? The lightning dragon looked around letting out a low growl in warning. Suddenly, a lavender colored dragon with green spikes going down its back peeked its head out from behind a tree.
The lightning dragon growled again in warning making the lavender dragon bow his head slightly trying to show he wasn't going to hurt him. The lightning dragon warily eyed the lavender dragon as he slowly came up to him. He was smaller than the lightning dragon and had big blue eyes making the lightning dragon only see kindness.
The lavender dragon suddenly dropped a fish in front of him, scooting the fish towards him with his snout. The lightning dragon cocked his head in question, sniffing the fish suspiciously before growling in anger at the lavender dragon. The lavender dragon ran off, frightened, before the lightning dragon happily ate the fish and then fell asleep.
The same thing happened again. Dropping the fish, loud growl, running off. The entire week went like that which the lightning dragon should have been annoyed about, but now he was just waiting for the lavender dragon to show up again. When the lavender dragon did show up, the lightning dragon felt happiness (getting slightly confused at the feeling) but liked this dragon. He was quiet and gave him lots of fish.
Something changed today though. The lavender dragon kept his head down, dropped the fish in front of the lightning dragon and quickly turned around to walk away. It was rather sad to see since the lavender dragon's wings drooped too. The lightning dragon, realizing that all his roaring to get the lavender dragon away from him made the lavender dragon sad. Yet he still gave him the fish. Was it because he was injured? Usually a dragon's mate would tend to the wound, but having no mate he would just have to suffer until his wounds scarred over.
The lightning dragon really liked the lavender dragon and didn't want him to leave this time. He had been nothing but nice to him even though the lightning dragon had only been mean. The lightning dragon quickly bit down on the lavender dragon's tail gently, but strong enough to have the lavender dragon stop. Of course the lavender dragon became so startled by the action that he just fell on his front making the lightning dragon start laughing with low huffs and growls.
The lightning dragon stopped immediately though seeing the lavender dragon become even more upset, about to run away.
"Don't go" The lightning dragon said, stopping the lavender dragon from leaving. He quickly picked up the fish and offered it to the lavender dragon who looked utterly surprised.
"Thank you for the fish" The lavender dragon nodded quickly, making the lighting dragon give a toothy smile from how odd that looked. The lavender dragon ate half of the fish before giving the other half back. The lightning dragon looked surprised before eating it.
The lavender dragon left after that, but the same thing happened for another week. Today though the lightning dragon was going to get the lavender dragon to talk. He had been asking only yes and no questions, but the lavender dragon seemed too shy to ask any questions back. So the lighting dragon knew a lot about the lavender dragon, but he was sure the lavender dragon would have questions for him too. As expected the lavender dragon came happily pouncing towards him making him laugh again. This only caused the lavender dragon to pounce higher before landing gracefully in front of him with more fish.
"Is tuna your favorite?"
Nod.
"Were you busy today?"
Nod.
"Do you ever talk?"
The lavender dragon looked away sadly making the lightning dragon sad too. His leg wasn't that much better but he shuffled a little in order to nuzzle the lavender dragon. They had been doing little things like this with each other since the lightning dragon was sure the lavender dragon was just as alone as he was.
"You won't… hurt me if I talk?" The lavender dragon's voice sounded beautiful to the lighting dragon.
"Why!?" The lavender dragon saw the sadness behind the anger before nuzzling the lightning dragon back in comfort.
"They said strong dragons will kill me if I talk since I'm not powerful" The lavender dragon looked away sadly.
"I'd never hurt you" The lavender dragon looked surprised at the lightning dragon before becoming overly happy at him with a toothy smile, his tail swinging back and forth. The lightning dragon suddenly licked the lavender dragon's cheek making his cheeks turn a dark shade of purple. They were soon nuzzling happily against each other.
"Can I help you with your wound?" The lightning dragon was a little nervous since mates were supposed to do that sort of thing, but he really, really, really, liked the lavender dragon so he would definitely allow it.
"Yes"
The lavender dragon suddenly scrambled away making the lightning dragon curious before seeing a whole bunch of water in purple glowing bowl made of fire along with some plants. The lavender dragon blew some more purple fire to heat up the water to a boil, tossing the plants in before it became a glob of green goop. The purple dragon pushed the purple bowl with the substance over to the lightning dragon's wounds, about to place the goop on with his scaly hand.
"It will hurt, but it will make it better, I promise"
"I trust you" The lavender dragon's cheeks turned dark purple again before he applied the substance making the lightning dragon hold back his growls of pain.
"It should heal the wound properly and you should at least be able to fly in a few days. I'd hate it if I couldn't fly!"
"Thank you," The lightning dragon said softly, nuzzling the lavender dragon again who was enjoying it thoroughly.
"I told you my name was Lighntningblade, what is yours?"
"Rune" Noticing the sun was setting, and that's when he usually left, he nuzzled Lightningblade once more before turning away to leave.
"Stay?" Rune looked at him surprised before looking shyly at the ground, moving dirt around with his claw.
"Dragon's usually sleep close together. Wouldn't other dragons see it as strange if you were next to me?"
"Don't care. I like you. You are staying here" Lightningblade huffed at him, gently biting on to Rune's tail and dragging him to rest by his side. Rune knew Lightningblade was very crude and not very good with other dragons, but he could see the meaning behind the words; he always could.
Rune nuzzled Lightningblade happily before yawning and resting his head on his claws. He suddenly felt a weight over top of his shoulders before realizing Lightningblade was resting his head over his shoulders in a protective stance. Rune was definitely turning a dark purple at this point before smiling happily to himself and falling asleep. This went on for the next few days before Lightningblade was able to fully stretch his wings out, realizing the goop had actually helped his wing and leg really well.
When Rune went off, saying he needed to get something, Lightningblade went for a quick swim, catching some tuna, having a plan.
When Rune came back he noticed that Lightningblade seemed to be drying off who turned around noticing him.
"If I put this on your leg, it will really help!" Rune had some strange yellow herbs before happily pouncing towards him. Lightningblade held up a clawed hand, making Rune stop and look at him nervously, afraid he was going to leave him since he was almost fully healed.
Lightningblade suddenly pulled out a bunch of tuna for Rune, pushing them towards him with his snout.
"Be my mate?" Lightningblade bowed slightly, displaying his wings and tensing his body so the other dragon could see how large and powerful he was. Lightningblade was looking nervously at the ground though since it was up to the dragon they were pursuing to see if they were worthy or not. Lightningblade hated that his leg was still somewhat injured since that could ruin his chances at having a mate.
Rune turned a dark purple before jumping on top of Lightningblade in excitement making them roll around on the forest floor. Lightningblade nipped at him playfully with Rune doing the same to him, before Lightningblade took a dominant stance over Rune who ended up on his belly in their playful fighting. Rune only lifted his hindquarters up towards Lightningblade, moving his tail away, understanding that he was his submissive. Lightningblade looked absolutely thrilled at the stance, putting a clawed hand on top of Rune's back who only purred out at him; that was so attractive. Lightningblade continued his pretend fighting with Rune. It wasn't mating season after all. Rune nuzzled Lightningblade happily into his neck making him let out a purr, almost.
Several loud roars were heard in the sky above them as three dragons were fighting in the sky before breaking apart. They seemed to be a pack but were really rough with each other.
Lightningblade and Rune were pretty well covered from the three dragons passing by because of the large leaves in the forest. No dragons had ever started a serious fight with him since most had seen him fight seriously with competitors for territory; they ended up severely wounded while rogue dragons ended up killed by him.
Rune immediately began to whimper as he burrowed himself underneath Lightningblade, waiting for the dragons to go away. Lightningblade was standing on all fours so Rune was completely covered by the larger dragon.
"Rune?" Lightningblade asked worriedly. Rune only huddled more underneath him, nuzzling his head against Lightningblade's forearm looking for comfort. Lightningblade gently licked Rune's cheek, trying to comfort his mate.
"Do you know them?" Rune nodded unhappily making Lightningblade worried.
"I go to a pond to catch tuna sometimes. Its in the meadow passed the mountains" Lightningblade nodded since most dragons went there to relax, it was considered neutral territory.
"They…attacked me, saying I wasn't a real dragon cause of how I look and act. They said if I came back they'd force a mating to make sure no one would ever want me. So now I just get the tuna from the ocean whenever I can instead" Rune said sadly, whimpering.
Lightningblade growled angrily, letting out a roar of warning for no one to come near there; it seemed to echo across the forest.
"Lightning! What are you doing?"
"How dare they threaten dragons like that! Especially to you now that you are my mate! I'll show them who their superior is."
"If you got hurt I wouldn't know…" Rune started to say sadly before ending up nuzzling him.
"If they said those things to you, I am sure they have to others. They must be stopped. To threaten a forced mating is forbidden"
"It is?"
"You… didn't know?"
"I'm not usually social around others so I don't know all of the customs, but I'm trying to learn" Lightningblade let out a sigh before nuzzling Rune back. Rune had come from a country a long way away from there when he was a baby dragon; he never knew his parents.
"Everyday I will tell you something about our customs, understand?" Rune licked his cheek happily making Lightningblade nip at him playfully.
"I'll get them back for threatening you! You are MINE" Lightningblade said angrily making Rune very happy because he was so adorably protective.
"But you can't claim that yet. We haven't mated and it isn't mating season for another three weeks" Rune said unhappily considering that meant the dragons would have more time to try and hurt him if he got in their way again.
"I'll let this custom slide, just for tonight. My wing is all better and my leg is almost fully healed." Rune remembered the herbs he brought before chewing them up and licking the paste onto Lightningblade's leg.
"What did you mean let the custom slide?"
"Mates only mate during mating season" Rune nodded knowing this, "I'd like to make you mine sooner than that"
Rune started to turn a dark purple before nodding shyly, running from Lightningblade. It was customary for the dominant to chase the submissive, to prove their worth to their mate. Rune was very fast, Lightningblade became very impressed and excited, but Lightningblade was never going to let him go. Rune was fast, very smart, skilled in fights, kind, and loyal and Lightningblade loved the lavender dragon just as much as Rune loved him.
Rune had lost Lightningblade a few times before he seemed to pop out of nowhere (his sense of smell was amazing) but he did tire easily so Lightningblade was able to catch him after some playful nipping and tumbling through the clouds. The dominant will become very serious and dangerous for a moment towards their intended mate to show just how powerful they were. Lightning crashed down around Rune as Lightningblade gave a roar so loud it sent a shockwave through the clouds and air around them, scaring the smaller dragon for a moment who became very small; he was very impressed none the less that his mate was one of the strongest dragon's he had ever seen in his life; and he'd seen a lot.
The dangerous display is a test of whether the submissive will run away from the dominant and whether the dominant can convince the submissive that they will never hurt them with their power. Lightningblade slowly moved so he was above Rune, Rune like Lightningblade's shadow underneath him. Happy that Rune didn't fly away from him in terror, Lightningblade slowly nuzzled Rune (making sure Rune wouldn't be startled by the sudden display of affection) before Rune nuzzled him back happily before playfully making them tumble through the clouds again.
Lightningblade wrapped his arms and legs around all of Rune so that Rune had to tuck his wings against his back, since he was held against Lightningblade's body (a trust of flight test); Rune was facing the sea underneath him. Lightningblade was flying them to one of the known mating grounds that had lots of shelter, water, and food. The reason that the dominant holds the submissive to him and underneath him is to prevent other competitors from taking away their declared mate or for their mate to get hurt in the middle of challenges. Rune was actually purring underneath Lightningblade making the white dragon nuzzle and nip at the back of Rune's neck as Rune tried to nip him back unsuccessfully since he was face down, making the white dragon chuckle softly.
That night they mated happily under the stars; Rune's tail either wrapped around his belly (with Lightningblade's tail joining it) or around Lightningblade's body for the entire night. Lightningblade had his wings expanded out as far as they could go to shield his mate from onlookers so none could see his mate; dragon's were very possessive of course.
A mark of claim would appear for all to see for the next hundreds of years that was on both of them. A white lightning bolt in the middle of Rune's back and lavender flames that wrapped in a beautiful dance on Lightningblade's shoulder and partly down his left arm.
Lightningblade was going to make sure those dragons never harmed his mate again. He nuzzled Rune gently, his wings cocooning the smaller dragon so he could barely be seen by any dragon's passing by. He was practically on top of the smaller dragon who was peacefully sleeping underneath him, both of them very happy.
"That was a weird ass dream" Freed woke up with a yawn wondering where Laxus went.
Laxus was eating breakfast, but unbeknownst to him, Laxus had the same dream.
I haven't seen anything like what I wrote so I hope it was interesting and not something anyone has read or thought of before :P Although I'm sure I haven't read all the Fraxus stories out there so...
