:pout: Only five reviews? Out of18 ppl who vsited the last chapter,5 reviewed. And out of the 47 for the chap before that one, 7. :sniffle:The reviews are slacking off.:dramatic sigh:

Aaaaaaaaaaaand it's the ... much much much awaited Nadil/Lykouleon. Probably not quite what you were expecting, and it's not as bad as that Nadil/Saabel. :twitch: I wanna write more with them though...

Warnings:thinks: shounen-ai. Nadilness, though not as bad as it could be...

Dragon Knight Snippets: Deceit

Lykouleon used to hate youkai. He'd heard tales of how terrible and evil they were when he was young, and had developed a deep hatred for them that had stayed with him throughout his childhood and adolescence, and he thought it would have stayed with him for the rest of his life.

It didn't. Not after he metNadil, anyway. The Wind Knight had been the first youkai Lykouleon had ever encountered, and he'd been surprised to find that he wasn't at all what he'd been expecting.

He wasn't evil, or disgusting, or cowardly and violent.

No, Nadil had been beautiful, and entrancing, courageous and clever...

"Prince Lykouleon."

Lykouleon's head snapped up, breaking himself out of his thoughts, warmth rising to his face as the object of his thoughts advanced on him, a predatory gleam in his eyes that Lykouleon was unawares of.

"Hello, Nadil," he responded cheerfully. Nadil let an amused smile alight on his face before Lykouleon continued, "How's Wind behaving?"

"I've managed to tame him," the violet-haired youkai responded nonchalantly, snapping and making a sweeping sign with his fingers. Wind chirped from his perch on a nearby branch and swooped down to land obediently on his master's arm.

"I can't believe this was the same Wind who used to bite and fly around without permission," Lykouleon said admiringly.

"Yes, I've had my way with him," Nadil smiled, and had Lykouleon not been so busy staring into those luminous crimson eyes, he might have noticed the chilling curve of his friend's smile.

Despite the fact that he was a youkai, and there'd been much controversy at first over whether to allow him in the castle, and give him a position as Wind Knight as well, Lykouleon had grown attached to the violet-haired youkai.

Nadil was completely opposite of Lykouleon, the dark to Lykouleon's light. Maybe that was what had drawn him to the demon in the first place. There was a mysterious, knowing air to him, a secretive aura that seemed to cling to him and swish with the swing of his steps. His eyes were a deep, alluring red, his hair violet like oncoming night. His detached but cunning attitude was completely the opposite of Lykouleon's open naiveté.

"What do you think of the new knight candidates?"

"They'll do," was all Nadil allowed himself to say, but it was enough for Lykoleon to realize that they weren't up to his standards.

"Well, then you'll just have to show them how things work, hm?" the blonde-haired prince smiled.

"Indeed," Nadil returned the smile, but without the warmth that Lykouleon's had. Instead, he leaned forward, cupping the prince's face, tantalizing those pale lips with his tongue before firmly encircling them. He felt Lykouleon's body lean submissively into him, as always, and pressed for entrance into his mouth. He received it without hesitation, and let his hands wander aimlessly, up Lykouleon's shirt. No complaints left his lips, only timid moans and small sounds of pleasure, and Nadil reveled in it. The little Prince was just putty in his hands, and he loved every second of dominance that was yielded to him.

Had Lykouleon ever thought about it seriously, he would have realized how easily he'd been used. But he was like a horse with blinders, and nothing anyone would have ever said would have changed his opinion of Nadil.

Nadil gave one last teasing tug to Lykouleon's lips before leaning back, a pleased gaze running over Lykouleon's lightly swollen lips, the crimson flush spread over his delicate face as he looked up breathlessly at Nadil.

"Beautiful..." Lykouleon's blush spread a deeper color.

"You're- you're going on a mission tomorrow, aren't you?"

"Yes, my Lord. There has been a demon outbreak in Hermosa."

"Can't I go with you?"

"It is dangerous, Your Majesty, and I'm sure your father would not agree."

The blonde prince bit his lip, looking away, "Come back quickly…"

Nadil bent his head respectfully, "As you wish, my Lord," his breath ghosted over Lykouleon's ear, making him draw in a shuddering breath, "Good night, Lykouleon."

Emeralds watched the violet-haired demon make his departure, the moon playing shadows on his cape, oblivious to the fact that betrayal was taunting them from around the corner.

Hope you liked... I know it was odd :shrug: They're interesting to work with though, and I'm... hoping to elaborate on another idea with them. On another note... does anyone like Loveless? OMG it's the best shounen-ai anime I have EVER EVER watched. :squeals: Hands down a complete 10 out of 10. You can find great subs by WE SUCK on BitTorrent, and all 12 epys of the first (hopefully there'll be a second) season are out! It's cute, and angsty, and funny and sweet and heartbreaking all at the same time.

Puppy:hides: eek, spyware. And I have problems with the grounding issues all the time. Glad to see you're still with me though!

Angstluver: Lol, you do realize half of those were redundant? Still, it was a pretty interesting list. :happy:

Kage: Thanks!

Vera-chan: Yup, Looooove KH, just haven't played the game :Sweatdrop: Same thing with the FF series... anyway, thank you!

Lost and Far Away: Thank you! They are cute :glomp:

Next... Kaistern/Tetheus! Yaaaaay:had incredible fun writing the next one: Sadly though, I think I'm gonna be mean this chapter and hold my chapter hostage until I get 207 reviews. Appreciate all my reviewers though!
