"What do you think she's going to say?" Blade asked while walking beside Akir. They were on their way to see Vespera to explain that Akir was no longer interested in her. The plan was not to mention that he found another mate, and they especially weren't going to mention who that other mate was!

Akir shrugged his purple wings. "It's been a week since I last saw her. She's probably moved on already." Akir took a sharp turn to the right, his head darting back and forth in search of her home. They were deep inside the feral district where housing complexes smashed together tightly, leaving no room at all between them. It was a very cramped area, and it was particularly difficult for ferals to walk through the narrow street since most of them were rather big when compared to the two-legs. They had to squeeze past several others to make their way down the path.

"You think so? Sounds like you shouldn't have mated with her anyway," Blade snapped with a sly grin.

Akir chuckled and poked Blade with a tail. "Still jealous, huh?"

Blade giggled and shook his head. "Not anymore!"

"Good. I can't have my mate still being jealous when we've been together for almost a week already." Akir nuzzled his neck and nipped at his jaw.

Blade blushed deeply and grinned, thinking about what Akir said earlier that day when they were out shopping for furniture. "I'm really anxious to... mate with you again tonight, especially now that we have the new bed," he admitted. "I've been thinking about it all day."

Akir chuckled and smiled toothily at Blade. "I've noticed!" he teased as his eyes peered beneath Blade.

Blade meeped and blushed even hotter as he looked down. "Have I...?"

Akir nodded. "You must really like mating with me, Blade. We've done it every night so far, and you still keep getting erections in public."

Blade stammered and flushed heatedly. "I didn't think anyone n- noticed..."

"I'm probably not the only one," Akir teased and giggled as Blade's feathers poofed out.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Blade whined, horrified and embarrassed.

"'Cause it's cute. And it looks like we're here," he said and pointed at the second story to the front of a hovel with some common runes carved into the stone next to the door. Blade didn't know what they read, but Akir seemed to.

The buildings weren't all that high; Blade estimated about five or six stories, and they were built like staircases, one floor like a step to the next. They hopped up to the second story platform and knocked carefully on the door. It looked like the door was about to fall off.

"What if she's not home?" Blade asked.

"Then we'll find her or come back tomorrow."

"What if she gets really angry?"

"Then we'll just leave."

Blade nodded and continued, "What if--"

"Blade!" Akir scolded and nipped Blade. "Relax."

Blade shuffled around on his paws and refolded his wings. "O- Okay, sorry." He didn't know why, but he was feeling very nervous! Normally when he was around Akir, his confidence tended to rub off on Blade.

Akir shook his head disapprovingly with a small grin. "You're ridiculous sometimes."

Then the door creaked open and Vespera poked her black head out. A big, toothy smile immediately spread her lips as she swung the door the rest of the way open and invited them inside.

"Akir! Blade! It's good to see you! This is quite the surprise. I never imagined that you'd show up with Blade this time. Have something planned for the three of us?"

Blade never understood why Akir had fallen for her. She was a chatterbox, and her voice was a bit annoying... It was to Blade, at least. He bared a small, friendly smile anyway and stepped inside after Akir. It smelled of feral, female dragon inside; her scent filled the tiny space, and it tickled Blade's nostrils. He wasn't used to that sort of aroma at all; it made him feel a little tingly.

Her home was just one room, having everything she needed surrounding them.

"No, nothing like that," Akir explained with a chuckle. "Blade is much too shy."

Blade shot him an uncertain glance. Was there something he missed?

"Oh, I see. That's a shame. You're a very handsome dragon too, and I'd love to mess up your feathers," she chirred to Blade. Blade shrunk back a little with a small smile, wanting to hide behind Akir. "So what brings you here then? Are we going somewhere? What about food? I'm hungry!"

Blade had to stop himself from rolling his eyes. She was like this when he had first met her too. Even if she was nice, he could hardly stand her. Maybe he wasn't actually jealous of her and just disliked her instead.

Akir shook his head and looked at her seriously. "I need to talk to you about something rather important." Then he glanced back at Blade and gestured to the door with a wing. "Alone, if you don't mind, Blade."

Blade nodded and dipped his head politely before slipping out the door. He stood out in the glaring sun, feeling it warming his feathers delightfully. The skies were clear with a deep blue hue, making Blade wonder briefly if there was an ocean way up there where he couldn't fly. He felt much better out here than in that stuffy room with that blabbermouth. Still, he couldn't help but to feel a little curious about what Vespera's reaction would be. He pressed his ear to the door and tried to listen in.

"--that would be best for the both of us," Akir finished.

It was rather hard to hear Vespera's higher pitched voice, but he could faintly make out her words. "I can't believe you're already leaving me... I thought we were good together! I really enjoyed mating with you. And you liked it too! Why don't you want to anymore? Is there someone else?"

A long pause.

"I do like you Vespera. You're very nice and all, but there is someone else." Blade gulped. He said he wouldn't tell her!

"Who is it?" Vespera half-growled. "She better not be prettier than me."

"Well, she's not a she." Akir wasn't following the plan...

Blade sighed but relaxed a little. He chuckled, imagining how stunned Vespera must be right now. He bet that she'd never imagine that Akir liked males!

"Oh, so you finally convinced Blade to mate with you? That was kind of fast. How'd you seduce him? Was it easy? Was it as good as you'd thought it--"

Blade's jaw dropped and he pulled his ear away. She knew!? And Akir planned on seducing Blade? Blade felt his stomach turn unpleasantly as his chest ached.

Did Akir even care about being his mate? Had he just wanted Blade to satisfy his lusts? He stared at the door and felt himself wanting to cry. He backed away until he nearly slipped off the small platform.

He knew Akir better than that. He wouldn't ever do something like that to Blade. And what he said that night they mated... that had been real, right? Was it something he meant and not just something he said to make Blade feel happy? They had loved each other since they were little, like siblings, but did Akir really love Blade like a mate? Why would Akir not tell him? Blade shook his aching head and took off. He needed to clear his mind. He flew to the only other home he knew: Talia's house.

* * *

Blade nearly burst through Talia's door when she opened it. He shoved right past her and then sniffled as he started to cry. He let loose all of the emotions churning inside him and lay on his belly while covering his head with his paws. He couldn't stop thinking that Akir had just used him, no matter how much he tried to believe otherwise. He felt Talia kneeling down beside him and patting his shoulders between his wings.

"What's wrong, Blade?" she asked worriedly. Having a sobbing dragon burst through your door must be quite the surprise!

Blade gritted his teeth. Talia didn't know that he and Akir were mates now. He meant to tell her soon, but this was the first time he had seen her in a month. "A- Akir..." he mumbled.

"Where is he?"

Blade shook his head and whimpered. "He is th- the problem."

He could almost feel Talia tense up. "What'd he do?" she hissed. "Did he hurt you?"

Blade quickly shook his head again, not wanting her to lash out at Akir. "No! It's s- something else..." He wiped his tears away and looked at Talia. He recollected himself the best he could, taking a deep breath. "It'll take some explanation..."

She grinned softly at him and sat down beside him cross-legged. "I'm all ears."

Blade then proceeded to explain their recent events... in as little of detail as possible. He told her about Vespera, how he was jealous of her, how him and Akir then mated, and then about how happy he was being his mate until today.

"She made it sound like he was only interested in mating with me," he finished.

"And is it true?" Blade was surprised that she didn't react much to him and Akir being mates. Maybe it was a normal thing after all!

Blade shrugged his wings and sniffled. "I- I don't think so..."

Talia chuckled. "So, you got yourself all worked up when you don't even know what really happened?"

Blade looked at her, and his mouth moved as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't find the words. He shook his head and stared at the floor, his ears drooping. He clawed a rut in a plank of wood. He knew he had acted hasty, and he let his emotions get the better of him.

"Oh, Blade... Sometimes, I think you're just as dull as he is. Akir is probably worried to death about you right now."

"You th- think so?" He felt rather foolish for thinking that Akir used him, and it frustrated him that he had to come to Talia for him to realize that. But he was glad he did. He knew now without a shadow of doubt that Akir loved him. Whatever Vespera had said must have been something else entirely!

Talia nodded and smiled softly at him. "I never thought you two would become mates, but I'm very happy for you both. I know how much you love Akir."

Blade smiled happily and wiped away his remaining tears. "He makes me really happy... And I think I make him happy too."

Talia's eyes swirled with memories that passed before her eyes. Blade could see how she reminisced about something she held close to her heart. It made him want to ask about it, but she stopped him. "You better get going, Blade. Akir might tear down the city looking for you!"

Blade nodded and stood up. He gave her an affectionate nuzzle and left. "Thanks, Talia!"

He leapt to the sky and saw that the blazing sun was still high in the clear sky. He angled his wings and turned toward their home. He hoped that Akir wasn't angry with him for leaving so suddenly. He could only imagine how worried he must be, especially after the last time Blade went missing. Blade sighed and sped forward. He knew he was going to be in trouble!

Blade opened the door to their home and peaked in, expecting to see Akir waiting for him with an angry look on his face. But there wasn't a blue and purple dragon in sight. He sighed with relief, glad to not be scolded just after returning home. He stepped inside and lay down on their old bedding that they moved to the middle of the main room. He waited for Akir to return, but as an hour slowly passed, a gnawing feeling clawed at his stomach.

He knew Akir was probably out looking for him, worried to death. He wished he could leave to look for Akir himself, but if he did, then the chances of Akir finding him soon were even slimmer--plus, he could return any minute. He had to wait and accept Akir's wrath when he returned. He only ever got angry when Blade did something foolish that made him concerned, and this would certainly be one of those times. Blade curled up and rested his head on his tail, waiting in silence.

When the door creaked open, Blade's head shot up. He had fallen asleep while waiting for Akir, and he saw that it was dark out now. His heart nearly stopped in his chest while his head swirled with guilty thoughts. Akir had been out looking for him for hours while he napped! As soon as his eyes met Akir's, he expected to see a malevolent storm brewing in the twin sapphires... but he couldn't really place what he saw.

"Blade..." Akir rushed over to him and practically fell on top of him. He wrapped his limbs around Blade, squeezing him tight while his wings enveloped him like a warm blanket. Blade squeaked as he was squeezed almost too tight! His feathers fluffed up as Akir buried his snout into Blade's neck. He could feel Akir's limbs trembling as if they were too exhausted to continue hugging him, but Akir persisted until Blade heard a quiet whimper and felt warm tears drip onto his feathers.

Blade's heart nearly shattered. He clenched his teeth tightly and embraced Akir back. He had prepared himself for a bloodbath, but he did not prepare himself for this...

"I- I'm so s- sorry, Akir," he sobbed. How could he ever have thought Akir didn't care about him?

"You st- stupid, feathered id- idiot!" he sputtered. Blade could tell that Akir was trying to regain his composure, but he was failing; Blade could see right through him. His normally strong composure was crushed. "I looked everywhere for you..."

Akir wasn't dumb. He had probably checked their home first before Blade had returned. After that, he probably searched every street, alley, and yard for Blade until he couldn't anymore. Akir was exhausted and Blade could feel his heart thudding heavily and quickly inside his chest. He was breathing hard, too.

"I'm sorry," Blade repeated and squeezed Akir while pulling him snugly against his soft body, acting like a pillow for his mate. He cried and tears streamed down his cheeks. Akir was sniffling too, in a constant battle to stop crying. They continued like this for a few minutes, the both of them letting their pent up emotions seep from them. Blade felt guilty and Akir was relieved.

"I thought something bad happened again... I thought I had lost you," Akir mumbled and pulled Blade tightly against him as Blade turned onto his back. Blade wrapped his arms and wings around Akir, hugging him equally as tight.

Blade shook his head and buried his muzzle in Akir's shoulder. "I was being d- dumb," he said.

"Where did you go?"

"Talia's..."

"Why?" he pressed.

He didn't really want to tell Akir why--he felt very foolish about it--but he knew he had to. "I th- thought that you didn't really love me like a mate."

Akir pulled away and looked at Blade in genuine shock. "Why would you ever think that?"

Blade sniffed and avoided meeting his eyes. "I overheard Vespera talking... a- about how you told her that you planned on mating with me. She made it sound like you d- didn't care about me..."

Akir's expressions softened as an amused grin curled his lips. "Blade... You got all worked up over that?"

Blade winced and nodded. Talia had asked the same thing! He knew he overreacted... by a lot. Had he just sat there and waited for Akir, he could have avoided this whole situation.

Akir chuckled and wiped Blade's tears away. "You didn't hear what I said after that, did you?"

Blade shook his head and looked up at Akir curiously. He didn't seem as upset as he had expected him to be.

They were lying together, belly to belly, and half-mindedly cuddling. Blade's forepaws stroked down Akir's flanks as a blush warmed his cheeks. He realized how foolish he really was as he looked into Akir's eyes. He had a hard time believing that he was actually Akir's mate. It felt like nothing really changed between them, but cuddling intimately with him now brought a new light to his eyes. They never did this before, and it felt very warming and relaxing. It felt good to _feel_loved.

"Good, 'cause I'm not going to tell you," he teased with a big grin.

Blade giggled and nuzzled Akir. "Tell me!"

Akir shook his head. "No... It's too sappy."

"Sappy?" A playful grin spread Blade's lips. "That's not like you."

"I know, that's why I won't repeat it!" He nipped at Blade's neck and affectionately licked him. A long moment of silence passed as Akir seemed to be deep in thought.

"Just know that I love you, Blade, with all of my heart. I'm still getting used to this whole _mateship_thing, since you've always been my little brother, but I love you and care for you like a mate... I think I always have."

Blade almost melted in Akir's arms as he held him closely and tenderly doted him. "I feel the same about you, Akir," Blade said with a toothy smile. "I love you, and I won't ever do that to you again."

Akir's sapphire gems sparkled with delight, unmistakably expressing the joy he found in Blade's words. He warbled softly and nuzzled Blade's neck, soon burying his muzzle in Blade's feathers. "As long as you're safe, I don't care, Blade."

"So, you're not mad then?"

A soft smile parted Akir's lips. "How could I be with a face like that?"

Blade grinned happily and giggled as Akir licked his face, feeling his wet, slimy tongue against his smaller, prickly feathers.

"Just don't run off on me like that," Akir said and licked between Blade's white horns.

Blade nodded and hugged Akir snugly. He thought about how mates would act, so he gently caressed Akir's scales, his paws tracing up and down his flank. Akir cooed softly to Blade and did the same to him while sensually nibbling and licking his neck up to his chin. Blade sighed and relaxed as he exposed his neck to Akir, feeling much better already. Their tails twined together and swayed back and forth while they cuddled intimately.

Heat flushed Blade's cheeks as he focused on all the pleasant feelings coursing through him. He lay back as Akir's belly pressed against his, and then a quiet moan escaped his lips as he felt Akir's warm nethers mashing against his. He gasped and suddenly felt his loins warming with arousal while their bodies melded together, scales against feathers.

"A- Akir..."

"Why don't we go try out our new bed?" Akir cooed as he grinded firmly against Blade. "You've been waiting all day for this."

Blade looked up at him and nodded eagerly, so they separated for the moment, stood up, and slipped behind their drapes into their bedroom. Instead of the pile of bedding they had before, there was now a solid, large bed built for two dragons scooted up against the wall.

Blade stepped up onto it first and flopped lazily down, bouncing slightly against the cushiony material. The bed slightly dipped beneath his weight, and it dipped only slightly more when Akir joined him. Blade rolled onto his back as Akir lay on top of him, resuming their previous position as they snuggled together.

Blade warbled happily and nuzzled Akir, feeling much more comfortable now that there was cushion against his back. Akir grinned down at him and then started to lick and nuzzle beneath his chin. Blade gasped softly and held Akir closely. He gripped his flanks between his thighs and wrapped his arms and wings around his back. Their hips met and fit together perfectly as their tails entwined behind them. Their sheaths touched while their balls rubbed and molded together.

Akir doted Blade's neck affectionately, licking and nibbling up and down it while his firm body sensually grinded against Blade's. A soft moan escaped Blade's open mouth as he breathed in deep breaths, feeling his arousal quickly stirring his senses. His forepaws traced Akir's muscles, rubbing and caressing them while they explored his scaled body. Blade had always enjoyed the feeling of scales and often wondered what they would feel like instead of feathers covering his body. They felt so smooth against his paw pads, and Akir's were very pretty.

Akir seemed to wonder the same about Blade's feathers. His paws sifted through the soft fluff around Blade's shoulders and down his flanks, feeling and exploring him. That made Blade wiggle and shudder with delight until he moaned again and felt his exposed flesh starting to rub against Akir's swelling sheath. Akir cooed and looked between their legs.

"Is that what I think it is, cutie?" he teased and rubbed against Blade's firm sheath with his own. Blade flexed his toes as he felt their balls mashing together and their cocks touching. Their exposed tips rubbed together while each of them was aroused. Blade stole a peek as his wings dropped to his sides, seeing Akir's flesh touching his own. It was warm, smooth, and slick. Pre mixed and collected along their shafts as both of their erections grew and rubbed together.

Blade panted lightly and groaned with lust while he let Akir arouse him. He lay back, blushing warmly as Akir doted his neck and pushed their hips together. Pleasant thoughts and feelings swam inside Blade's head, urging him to grind against his mate.

"I- I love mating with you," Blade said with sincerity, looking up into Akir's eyes.

Akir smiled down at him, a toothy grin curling his lips. "Does it feel good?" he asked as his forepaw started to grope his and Blade's cocks, rubbing them together. That was a favorite of Blade's; it made his toes curl while he gasped with delight. To feel Akir's sensitive organ against his own made him shudder.

"Y- Yes... very good."

"Good." Akir lowered his muzzle to Blade's and licked his lips lovingly. Blade cooed and parted his lips to lick back at Akir's tongue. They shared their saliva while their tongues mingled together, and then Akir pressed his lips firmly to Blade's. His tongue slipped inside Blade's mouth, making Blade's cheeks flush intensely as they kissed. His eyes bulged as he sucked in a quick breath.

Kissing like this was a rare sign of affection to dragons. Most mates would wait until they had eggs together to even attempt kissing. It held a deep, heartfelt meaning that most often signified mateship for life. Blade could hardly contain his excitement!

Blade's heart thudded deeply and rapidly in his chest as he melted in the affection. He closed his eyes, losing himself almost immediately. They mouthed at each other, their lips touching while their tongues explored each other's maws. Blade's wings fluttered and rubbed against Akir's as their woven tails swayed from one side of the bed to the other. Akir stopped everything else he was doing and delved deep into their passionate kiss. Their tongues wrestled and twined while their breaths were ragged. Blade softly held the back of Akir's head while turning and twisting his own impulsively to get all of the good angles. The feelings of adoration that ignited his heart were unlike anything he had felt before, and he could share it all with his Akir... his mate.

When they finally separated, their eyes met, blue and gold. They were both speechless and breathing hard with soft grins at their lips.

Blade placed a paw on Akir's chest and half-mindedly felt around his firm muscles there. "That... That was amazing, Akir," he said.

Akir nuzzled Blade tenderly and kissed him again, wanting another taste. Blade lightly pushed and caressed Akir's chest while cocking his head sideways and suckling on his tongue. This was like a dream come true to him. His body was the warmest and most relaxed it ever had been while he could feel the deep pounding of his heart echoing throughout.

This kiss was much shorter than the last, and it ended when Akir flipped onto his back. They switched positions, and Blade was now on top, looking down at Akir. His eyes lingered on his smooth cock before he pressed their hips together and replicated what Akir did to him, grinding and rubbing their nethers together.

"Take me, Blade," Akir half-whispered. "Mate with me."

A confused expression crossed Blade's face. "You want me to..." Blade had always been the bottom; he was always the one to take Akir's cock, never the other way around.

Akir chuckled and nodded. "I want you to feel that pleasure too." He spread his legs wide and presented himself to Blade. Blade blushed warmly as lust and excitement welled within him. He backed up a bit as he sat upright and stared between Akir's legs.

Between his muscular thighs was his twitching cock and his drooping package beneath it. And below his dangling stones was his tailhole. Akir didn't seem to mind that Blade was more curious than anything--he never really had much of a chance like this with Akir before. Blade reached down with his soft, fuzzy forepaws and felt Akir's cock. He stroked it up and down and felt the thick rod of meat that he had enjoyed on several previous occasions. It twitched and pulsed in his grasp as a drizzle of pre oozed out of the tip.

"Oh, Blade," Akir moaned as he flexed his toes. Blade smiled and rubbed Akir's length a few more times before groping and squeezing his stones. That received him a pleasured coo from Akir. Excitement coursed through Blade as he felt Akir's nethers, rubbing and fondling them curiously. Even though Akir had scales, his balls felt almost as soft as Blade's.

Then Blade decided to leave more of his exploration for later as his lust urged him on. He scooted up again and pressed the tip of his cock firmly against Akir's tail base. He lined it up with his tailhole, watching as he guided it into his mate, like Akir had a few times before with Blade.

Blade sucked in a deep breath as he felt his flesh penetrate Akir's rear. It slipped inside easier than he thought it would and was greeted by warm, soft muscles squeezing around it. Akir gasped and moaned Blade's name encouragingly. Blade's cock slid inside Akir deeper, spreading his tight ring of flesh apart as each ridge on the underside of his shaft slipped inside. Blade had never felt anything so warm and soft around his cock before. Akir's maw had been one thing, but this felt utterly amazing. His sheath firmly pressed against his mate's entrance, his cock enveloped completely in Akir's tight passage.

"A- Akir... you feel so... amazing."

Akir smiled at Blade and wrapped his legs around him. His thighs gripped Blade's flanks while his forepaws stroked the golden mane along his back. "Your cock feels amazing, too," he cooed softly into Blade's ear. That made Blade shudder with delight, especially when Akir squeezed his flesh with his muscles.

Blade was already panting as he hilted Akir. He had no idea how long he would last, and he wanted to last long enough for Akir, but he couldn't wait to feel that pleasure of taking his mate. He withdrew slowly, gasping and moaning as his ridges tugged against Akir's walls. He pulled his cock out until only the tip remained, and then he pushed quickly back in. He shuddered and hung his head. Drizzles of his pre escaped his tip and spilled into Akir's passage, helping to lubricate his penetrating flesh. Blade repeated the motion again and again until he finally had a steady pattern. He humped Akir gently, softly moaning his name while he did.

Blade watched Akir's reactions intently, wanting to please his mate more than anything. Akir's eyes were sewn tightly shut while his maw was parted. He panted just like Blade did, and the occasional grunt escaped his lips. Blade's length slid in and out of his tailhole repeatedly, rubbing and spreading apart his tight walls. Their hips gently patted together while their bodies rocked in unison. Akir held Blade closely, wrapping his limbs around him while eliciting his pleasure.

Akir's cock twitched and bounced beneath him, catching Blade's eye. He saw a small pool of pre building on Akir's scales while string oozed from his tapered tip. Blade had never imagined lusting for a cock before they became mates, but now it was all he could think about. He reached a paw down, leaving the other planted firmly on the bed to keep his balance. He gripped Akir's length as it pulsed within his grasp and started to stroke him up and down, sliding his soft paw from the tip of his flesh to the thicker base.

"Oh wow... Blade..."

Akir moaned loudly and squirmed beneath Blade as he pleasured him in two places at once. Blade continued to steadily hump Akir while pawing him off. Akir's muscles quivered around Blade's length in time with the light throbs of his slick member.

Blade felt Akir's hard, warm cock, squeezing it in his grasp. His grip slid smoothly up and down, lubricated by pre and natural secretions that made it easier to mate. Feeling Akir's sensitive organ was exciting to Blade. He thoroughly enjoyed hearing Akir's encouraging moans as he stroked his mate.

"Nngh... that feels so good..."

Blade couldn't have asked for a more perfect position to be in with Akir. He loved every second of it, being able to give pleasure while also receiving it. It was the most intimate mating they had done yet. Their bodies pressed together, belly to belly, while Blade humped and stroked Akir. And he loved how he could watch Akir's expressions churn. His head lightly bobbed back and forth while his body swayed with Blade's. He would wince and moan and gasp all the while Blade thrust in and out of him.

As Blade mated Akir, his speed started to pick up. He could hardly contain himself as pleasure and lust warmed his loins immensely. Reluctantly, he took his paw away from Akir's cock, using it for balance as his claws dug into their bed. He drove his hips into his mate's harder and faster as his instincts fogged his mind.

Having Akir's walls rubbing against every angle of his sensitive flesh sent the back of Blade's skull blooming with bliss. It wasn't long before their hips were meeting with wet smacks. Blade's pre lubricated his length enough that he could quickly slip in and out of Akir's warm, clenching passage.

"Oh, Blade... d- don't stop..."

Blade moaned back at Akir, refusing to ever stop as long as his mate was enjoying this. He could feel Akir's body reacting each time he hilted him, feeling his muscles twitch inside and out. Akir's thighs held Blade's flanks tightly as Blade pushed him into the bed with every thrust. The bed creaked as their bodies moved together in unison, but the annoying squeaking was drowned out by their constant moans and humping.

"Aah!" he moaned. "B- Blade... Yesss..." Blade blushed deeply as he heard Akir's sultry voice. And then a moment later, Akir's muscles tightened and flexed around Blade's cock, clenching him tightly while they pulsated rapidly. Blade didn't know quite what was going on as Akir writhed around on his back, but then he felt warm, gooey liquid spraying into his belly feathers. Blade looked down as he rolled his hips into Akir's and saw his cock throbbing and spilling copious ropes of his seed, making a mess on both of their bellies.

Blade's moans joined Akir's as he redoubled his efforts, feeling even closer to an orgasm now. He was surprised Akir finished before he did, but that must have meant that he did well! Akir's body moved with Blade's, sliding back and forth across the bed as Blade pounded against him. He buried his warm face into Akir's chest, panting heavily and moaning between gasps until he finally felt it all release.

He elicited a lewd groan as he shoved his length as deep as he could into Akir's rear. He climaxed, his cock pulsing and throbbing rapidly as his warm seed filled Akir's passage. He could feel it spilling and oozing around his cock as he held himself deep inside Akir's rump.

Akir nuzzled Blade lovingly and pressed their foreheads together while moaning to him encouragingly. "That's it, Blade... Ooh!" Blade could hardly make sense of anything. He lost himself in the blissful pleasure that claimed his body. His muscles froze in place as Akir held him and cooed while rubbing his body. Rope after rope of Blade's seed ejaculated into Akir's tight, quivering passage, lasting for what felt like forever to Blade.

As Blade came down from his ecstatic orgasm, his muscles suddenly relaxed and he collapsed on top of Akir, who was more than willing to snuggle Blade against him. He could hear Akir's chest rumbling with a soft purr.

"Did you enjoy that, cutie?" Akir asked while tenderly stroking Blade's neck and down his spine.

Blade nodded. He was still panting and recovering from his climax. His cock was buried deep inside Akir as he was pressed into his warmth up to his sheath. Warm, gooey seed oozed around his flesh.

"D- Did you?"

Akir grinned and softly kissed Blade for just a moment, letting their tongues linger after. "I did... You feel amazing," he answered and squeezed Blade's twitching flesh with his muscles, drawing a quiet whimper from Blade.

"Is... is that what it feels like to take a female?" Blade asked.

Akir chuckled and hugged Blade closely. "Not quite the same, but it has its similarities."

"It was amazing," Blade said breathlessly and rested his head on Akir's chest. Akir continued to purr as he held Blade against his warm, scaled body while tenderly stroking his feathers. Blade rested his eyes for a moment, drifting away from consciousness until he slipped into a very pleasant dream.

* * *

"So, you told Talia about us?" Akir asked. He looked at Blade curiously as Blade's eyes wandered across the horizon. Waves of the sea crashed against the cliffside below them, and the spray of the salt water drifted in the wind and lightly showered them in tiny droplets, a fine, cool mist. To their left was the city, across some large dunes and nestled in the sandy hills. To their right was uninhabited coastline stretching as far as the eye could see, curving slightly outward toward the sea.

Blade loved it. He loved the smell of the sea, and he loved the feeling of cool water sprinkling his hot, black and gold feathers. The arid, desert air was very comfortable to him, and he liked how his feathers seemed fluffier after a day in the sun, but this was bliss--especially since he could share it with his mate.

"I did, and she took it rather well," he replied and smiled at Akir before he nuzzled him. They lay side by side together just at the edge of a cliff overlooking the deep blue sea. Ships crossed the waters: some coming and some going. When they were younger, they often played a game. They each took turns making up a story about where each ship was going and why. Akir was never very good at it, but Blade had a lot of fun making up stories!

Akir curled his tail with Blade's and wrapped his wing over Blade's back to pull him close. "I find that rather surprising. She loves you and hates me; I imagine she wouldn't want me as your mate."

Blade chuckled and shook his head. "She doesn't hate you. She just thinks you need some more..."

"Discipline?" he finished. "Yeah, I know. She's only mentioned that how many times?" He laughed and nuzzled Blade firmly. "It doesn't matter what she thinks anyway 'cause you're mine now!"

Blade wriggled happily and nudged Akir's snout with his own. He looked into his sapphire eyes, seeing a deep, affectionate gaze in them--they reminded him of the ocean. "I couldn't have asked for anything more."

Akir hummed and squeezed Blade with his wing. He doted Blade's snout with affectionate licks and nuzzles while Blade returned them. He felt so happy being with Akir that his heart wanted to explode. Out of everything he could want in this world, it all seemed so miniscule when he was next to Akir. He thanked all of the gods, real and unreal, for bringing Akir into his life.

Akir was the only person in the world that loved Blade. Talia was the next most important person to him, but he had only known her for about a year. He had known Akir his entire life! He reminisced about that day when Akir had saved him from death. Then his mind wandered to his parents.

He never knew why they abandoned him as a hatchling. Maybe he was better off alone or maybe they had forgotten about him. He had always wanted to believe that they did love him, and maybe that they were searching for him. It made him happy to think about that, to believe that there were at least two others that loved Blade... But he knew that they didn't and never did. Akir made sure Blade knew that so he'd never get his hopes up.

Blade looked thoughtfully at Akir and held his paw with his own, squeezing it gently. Akir glanced at him, drawn away from the captivating sea.

"Blade?"

Blade sighed. He knew he wasn't supposed to pester Akir about this, but maybe now that they were mates he'd finally tell him. "What happened to your parents?"

Akir grimaced, making Blade's stomach turn. Why did he have to ruin a perfect moment with him? "S- Sorry... Forget it," he said and looked at the ground in front of him.

Akir shook his head. He took in a deep breath and exhaled it. "I think it's about time you knew... I don't know why I've never been able to talk about it before, but I feel better about it now." His expression softened as he bared a small smile at Blade. Blade looked at him intently, his curiosity brimming.

Akir began, "I had... known my parents rather well. They had given me every opportunity from when I was hatched to when I left them to show me who they really were."

"When you left them?"

Akir nodded and gritted his teeth. "About a week before I met you, I ran away from them. It was a dark, rainy night... They were arguing and fighting like they always had while I cowered away in my room, waiting for the figurative storm to pass, but it never did. Instead, it was brought to me--again." Akir's eyes swirled with spite as his claws gouged the rocky surface beneath them. Blade squeezed his paw comfortingly, but Akir didn't seem fazed.

"Apparently I had eaten too much food that night, so they beat me. It was a regular occurrence ever since I hatched, and I was used to it. It was never enough to kill me, but it hurt... a lot... I--" Akir choked up and turned his head away. Blade immediately nuzzled and comforted Akir with a soft warble.

"Th- Thanks, Blade... I limped away that night into the pouring rain. I remembered the pain I felt... I always remembered. I didn't make it very far, and I ended up climbing into a crate of rice sacks to rest for the night. As long as I was away from them, I didn't care where I slept. I curled up there, exhausted beyond belief, and when I woke up, I was rocking uneasily. There was a lid over the crate, and I was too weak to open it. For nearly a week, I stayed in that rocking crate. It never stopped rocking. I vomited even after I had nothing left to puke up." Akir's muzzle contorted into a grimace.

"But... it wasn't the most miserable I had been. I realized not too long after that I was on a ship in the middle of the sea. I could smell the salt in the ocean breeze, and I heard the crewmen shouting things that I didn't really understand, but it all made sense. It filled me with relief." Akir sniffled and nuzzled Blade firmly.

"So you weren't born here? You're from across the sea?"

He nodded. "I don't remember much of what it was like, but everything was green and luscious compared to here." Then he smiled and continued his story, "I realized that I would never have to go back home again. I realized that I was... free... that I was away from my parents. It was, sadly, the happiest day of my life. I was starving, disoriented, and sick, but I had never felt better."

"After the ship had docked, they unloaded my crate and shipped it to a merchant. That merchant was really surprised to find a dying dragonet in their rice box!" He spared a chuckle and continued, "And he was the kindest person I had met up to that point. He fed me for a few days until I was feeling better. I left him, too, not giving him much of a chance to even learn my name."

A warm smile crossed his lips as he looked at Blade with large, adoring eyes. "And that night I was given the chance to return the same kindness given to me. Although, my dragonet has stayed with me for far longer than a few days!"

Blade grinned toothily and firmly gripped Akir's paw. "And I won't ever leave you." After listening to Akir's past, Blade felt terribly sorry for his mate. He also had an entire new outlook and understanding about Akir's life. He had never liked authority, and Blade could see clearly why that was. His parents had left him scarred both physically and mentally, Blade realized.

There were a few scars along Akir's back where his scales were missing and some around his shoulders. They were thin and pink, exposing his flesh beneath that natural armor. They weren't all that noticeable either. When Blade had asked before where they had come from, Akir just shrugged and said fighting.

Blade cuddled comfortingly with Akir, softly nuzzling and licking him. "I'm sorry you had to go through that... I wish things could have been different for you," he said.

Akir shook his head. "I don't, and I'm glad everything happened the way it had."

Blade stared at Akir with a look of shock. "W- Why? That sounds terrible..."

Akir laughed brightly. "Because I wouldn't have ever met you, Blade." Akir's beautiful, blue spheres swirled as they met Blade's wide, golden eyes. "I'm glad those things happened to give me the opportunity to be with you. I'd suffer through all of that again and more if it meant that I could stay with you. Thankfully, I don't have to!"

Blade wanted to scream his joy. He had never felt so many joyful emotions coursing through him before. Tears wetted his eyes as he tried to blink them away. His heart thudded deeply inside his chest and his body could hardly sit still. Their twined tails swayed back and forth as Blade moved them unintentionally. He mouthed at words but couldn't seem to find any. So, Akir leaned forward and pressed their lips together.

Blade gasped softly and spread his maw open as Akir's tongue pushed inside. Their maws locked while their tongues grappled and their saliva mixed. Blade closed his eyes and delved deeply into the kiss. They kissed passionately, sharing their love intimately.

As they kissed, Akir slowly started to roll Blade onto his back and shift over him. Blade's paws latched onto Akir's shoulders as he joined him belly to belly. Blue scales met gold feathers as Akir asserted himself on top of Blade. Blade's hind legs held Akir between his thighs as their hips pressed together and their tails coiled.

A heated blush warmed Blade's cheeks as he felt Akir's nethers touching his own. He couldn't hold back the soft moans that escaped his lips as they kissed. Akir held the back of Blade's head while Blade held his neck, stroking up and down it.

His arousal set in quickly, and he could tell Akir's was too. They were both panting and breathing heavily while they kissed. Both of them moaned their lusts as paws caressed and touched intimately. Akir suckled on Blade's tongue before he finally drew away. Blade opened his eyes and saw Akir's devious smirk.

And it wasn't long before they were mating out in the open. Blade hadn't felt completely comfortable about it at first, but the pleasurable sensations and lusts urged him otherwise. Akir took him right there and then, making Blade moan and cry out his pleasure. Blade held Akir closely while their bodies rocked back and forth right on the edge of the cliff. Blade lay back, taking each and every one of Akir's thrusts while their bodies mingled together passionately. To feel Akir's cock inside him sent Blade over the edge with bliss.

The release was fantastic, driving Blade mad with intense pleasure. Akir claimed him once again, spilling his warm seed deep inside Blade's rump. Blade loved every second of it, and it wasn't long before they both exhausted themselves and ended up cuddling in the afterglow, the sight of the ocean forgotten as their attention focused solely on each other.

Blade woke up the next morning to find Akir missing from their bed. He blinked and sighed as he buried his head into the sheets. He hated mornings, and he hated waking up. Grogginess wore him down, making him want to shut his eyes and find sleep again, but he forced himself to climb out of bed. His paws hit the ground just as he heard a familiar voice that wasn't Akir's.

"Okay, just think about it! I think it would be fun, the three of us together! We could make it an all-night thing, too!"

He heard Akir chuckle. "I'll let you know, Ves. I still need to talk to him about it. You know how Blade is."

Blade grumbled and leaned against a wall. There was no way he was going out there while Vespera was around. Why was she here, anyway? He thought Akir had broken off with her. He felt a slight jealous tinge, but that was easy to shy away. He trusted Akir more than anyone else in the world.

He then heard their door open and shut and sighed with relief. He slid through the drape and found Akir walking back to him.

"Oh, you're awake! Did she wake you?"

Blade shook his head. "No... Why was she here?"

Akir smiled and motioned for Blade to come lie with him on their furs, so he happily padded on over. They lay down together side by side with Akir's wing draped over Blade's back. "I've been thinking a lot lately, Blade... about... about a hatchling." There was some excitement in Akir's voice, a rare thing for Blade to hear.

Blade peered at him. "A hatchling? Like us having a hatchling?" He never thought about it until now, but he realized that he and Akir couldn't produce and offspring... They couldn't make eggs together, so they would never have a hatchling of their own. Blade felt sad about that, but it was worth it if he could be with Akir.

Akir scratched the back of his head and nodded. "W- Would you like to have one? An egg?"

Blade's brows furrowed. "That's not possible..."

"Not for us both of course but... Vespera and I were talking about having her be the mother. It's almost mating season and I--well--I want us to have a hatchling together. She agreed to bear our egg under one condition..."

Blade's eyes lit up with the possibilities of having their own hatchling to raise... a hatchling to be fathers to. Warmth filled his chest as he thought about it. "W- What's the condition?"

Akir chuckled and nudged Blade's snout. "That we both mate with her at the same time."

Blade blushed deeply. He hadn't thought about that. One of them would have to mate with her so she could bear an egg. He didn't like that idea at all! It felt like they would be breaking a vow or something, and Blade was very fond of keeping Akir to himself.

"I know what you're thinking, but it's a one-time thing, Blade. Don't you want a hatchling?" Again, Blade could hear the excitement brimming in Akir's voice. He couldn't say no to that.

Blade nodded and exposed a small grin to Akir. "With you, more than anything... But I wish we didn't have to bring her into it."

Akir nuzzled Blade comfortingly. "I understand, Blade, but this is our only real chance right now. We could try to find another female, but I trust Vespera."

Blade sighed and looked into Akir's eyes. He saw a whole lot of hope and pleading in them. He grinned toothily and dipped his head. "Okay, fine."

Akir licked Blade's nose affectionately and hugged him tightly with his wing. "This means a lot to me. Thank you!"

Blade giggled and scrunched his face as Akir's slimy tongue tickled him. It made Blade nervous to think about being a father, but it also made him super excited. It was going to be a big step for them as mates, and he was more than happy to take it. He just had to disregard the fact that they would be mating with Vespera!
