Sorry for the wait, guys! Read on!
"Sinha….Sinha!" You cried, jumping into his outstretched arms.
"I….I remember…" SInha murmured into your (h/c) hair. "You...were my….only friend…"
You sobbed, clutching at his shirt. "I...I was...so sad…."
"I...I won't...forget you….again…." Sinha said, smiling faintly. "Do you….remember our….secret signal?"
You grinned and he grinned back at you. As if right on cue, you and Sinha took off your masks and locked gazes, making your eyes zoom in and out, creating a small turning function in your irises.
You smiled and clapped your hands against his, three times. Then you turned around and clapped, snapped, and clapped once more.
You turned and placed your masks back on, highfiving each cheered with laughter, and Sinha smiled brightly.
You were reunited with your best friend and you could stay with him forever. But wait…
"Oh no…" You whispered.
SInha's face contorted with concern and as if reading your mind, he whispered something into Yona's ear.
"Sure! (Y/n), how would you like to come along on our journey to save Kohka Kingdom?" Yona asked.
"R-really?" You stuttered. Being reunited with your best friend (secretly your crush) was a dream come true, and being able to travel with him was even better.
"Yes...please, will you...come with me, (Y/n)?" Sinha said, blushing slightly under his mask.
You laughed with happiness and glomped him, hugging him to near death. Sinha blushed again, and you blushed with him. Before you could tell Princess Yona thank you, Sinha tensed and stood up.
"Soldiers...are back…" SInha growled.
The four dragon warriors tensed and you straightened.
"I want...to fight." You said confidently. You had incredible skills because of your powers and you wouldn't hide yourself and not fight.
Sinha looked at you with worry and you smiled. "Don't worry….I'll be careful."
He hesitantly nodded and sighed, unsheathing his sword and facing the group of soldiers.
You watched the commander's mouth say 'Charge', and you tensed. It was time to get back into the fight. They charged and many of them targeted you, which you fought off most of them easily.
You jumped and kicked a crowd in front of you, and quickly turned around to fend off another crowd.
One man snuck up on you and slashed your wound, which made a larger gash. You gasped in pain but hid it, but to no avail.
SInha sensed your pain and turned to you, growling. He angrily slashed at the man, killing him quickly. The wave of soldiers finally ceased after a few minutes, and you panted with fatigue.
You wouldn't normally be this tired, but with the open wound in your shoulder, it made it harder. Sinha ran to your aid and carried you bridal-style, lifting you up and to one of the sleeping bags.
Yun took the bandage off your bare shoulder, then applied some ointment and poultice, bandaging it back up.
"Thanks, SInha…" You whispered, smiling up at the blue dragon.
Ao climbed onto your lap and curled up, falling asleep.
"I...will always...protect you...with all...my life…" Sinha answered, hugging you gently.
You breathed in his sweet smell and sighed with comfort. It felt good to know that Sinha cared and protected you, with all his life.
Even Princess Yona would not get this privilege. You smiled happily in Sinha's embrace, and fell asleep in his arms, hoping for something to happen between the two of you romantically.
Sinha watched as you fell asleep in his arms, and he smiled at your sweet, sleeping form. He pushed a strand of hair back behind your ear and caressed your cheek, staring at your pink lips.
Feeling compelled to kiss you, he pressed his lips to your own, planting a firm kiss on your lips. He broke away with satisfaction and cuddled you closer, hoping for the courage to confess his love to you. Maybe, soon.
Yay! Next chapter finished, see you guys next chappy!
