Efflo blushed, unable to stop the warm smile widening across his face. It was cool in the air, and he would have wished he had thought to wear more than his useless shorts except it didn’t matter, Gabby’s words warmed him through and through and suddenly it was enough, just to be up in the sky with his boilfriend, sharing this wondrous thing that the dragon treasured so dearly. It made Efflo happy too, and he squeezed Gabby, resting his face against the dragon’s neck as he reveled in the view, in the feeling. The water raced under them, bright and shimmering, rippling as Gabby’s talons dipped through its silky surface. It was perfect. “You’re always so cold,” he answered, laughing happily. “But I’m fine. I’m glad you let me warm you up a little.” Nio Love you quoted samuality you jerk!! razz

A twinge of self-disdain flickered through Gabby's heart when Efflo laughed about his body temperature. He'd always been so proud of the cold. He'd been proud of everything about himself, really. It started and frightened him how easily he was questioning everything he'd been so sure about. As new and frightening as it was, it never made him doubt - not for a moment. But it gave him so much to think about, on those rare moments when he was alone. Or moments like this, lost in the peace of flight, with that comforting warmth seeping into his back. That little spot so much hotter than the rest of his body. That tiny little heartbeat he couldn't feel, but knew was there. As long as he knew it still beat, he could move forward. Funny, how the rhythm of a heartbeat became such an easy thing to measure his footsteps by. How the pulsing of such a little thing, never seen, never touched, was now woven so intricately into the threads of his existence. "You don't just warm me." Gabby grumbled thoughtfully. "You've taught me what warmth really is."

He ducked his head gently against Gabby’s scales, instinctively hiding the downright embarrassing rosy glow that emanated from his pores. The dragon always knew just what to say to make his heart beat faster, making it squeeze at the treasured tenderness of moments like these. But for all Efflo’s teasing, he doubted Gabby was really that cold at all. Little by little, that icy exterior seemed to melt away, and Efflo was more than happy to be the little flame that incensed Gabby’s frosty heart. Dark fingers shifted gently beneath his scaly ridge, a movement so slight it was barely perceptible; he caressed his dragon, warm fingers petting his cool skin. Cold or not, Efflo wouldn’t have changed a thing about his boilfriend. He was absolutely perfect, imperfections and all. “’Love you,” he called softly, losing himself to the moment as they sailed together over the water.

The lake came rushing to an end, and they were flying over land again. When Gabby felt those warm fingers on his skin, a rumble that was dangerously close to a purr vibrated deep within him. He slowed, coasting carefully until he felt comfortable enough to rest his claws down on the ground in a running landing. Eventually that too slowed, and when he stilled, he turned his head, trying to nudge Efflo off of him. "Off." He whispered. "I need to hold you right now. It will not wait." Flying had been his passion, before Efflo. Now, nothing seemed to compare.

Efflo held on tightly, preparing himself for landing. But it was much smoother than he’d expected, and he marveled at how graceful Gabby was, for being so large. Of course due to fainting he had no real frame of reference, but he couldn’t help but be impressed at the skill Gabby possessed. He was so sure-footed, and the ride had been so pleasant; definitely and quite happily devoid of loops. Perhaps someday they would tackle the maneuver but for today, Efflo was content with the special ride they’d shared. It was a big step for him, and he felt confident he wanted to do this again. He thought about teasing Gabby, refusing to dismount or pulling other shenanigans but his body seemed to have a mind of its own, listening only to his heart as he found himself sliding off Gabby before he knew it, feet hitting the ground with a soft thump. There the boil stood waiting, expectantly, arms outstretched.

Efflo slid off, and Gabby was already moving away, walking in a tight circle so that by the time he put his pin on, and the mist engulfed him, he was already walking back towards Efflo. Impatient as always, his body walked swiftly out of the mist, still wisped and unformed in places. It clung to him, pulling his hair in strands back behind him until they finally fell limp against his face and shoulders. But he did not falter for a moment, walking into the arms that waited for him, and sliding his own around Efflo's waist. They tightened and held on, pulling Efflo off of his feet and flush against him. There, he held the boil up, a foot above his own head, and pressed his ear to Efflo's chest. "Ahh." He whispered, sounding mutely satisfied. "There it is." The sound that drove him. He mimicked it, with his own heart; a pale comparison, so weak and useless within him, but it only beat because Efflo's did. Slowly, he let the boil slide back down, until his feet touched the ground. Gabby rose one hand, and slid it into the locks of Efflo's hair beside his cheeks. He brushed them back, over and over, just running his fingers through all the neon green he could touch. "I love you, too." Extremely belated, but he couldn't help himself. He had needed this, first.

Gabby’s arms slipped around him, and he was home. For so long Efflo had tried to deny his humanoid form, staying in it only when necessary. He had hated it, hated walking on two-legs, hated his hairless skin, hated losing his true form. Yet every time he held that cool body close to him, and felt the chill of Gabby’s embrace, he thanked every star for his two-legged form, utterly indebted to his skull-pin for allowing to him the chance to hold his dragon. He squeaked as Gabby lifted him, smiling softly when the boil pressed his ear to his chest. Efflo dipped his head to nuzzle at Gabby’s hair, inhaling the briskly sweet scent of those shining white locks. His heart thudded in his chest, slow and methodical, it didn’t need to race because Gabby was right here, Gabby had him in his arms, and everything really was perfect. Settling back onto the ground, he snuggled into his boilfriend, staring up at him with adoring green eyes as pale fingers tangled gently through his hair. “I’m glad,” he breathed, beaming. He leaned up on his toes, pressing a tender kiss to the dragon’s lips.

" Are you." Gabby breathed, amusement evident in the soft breath of his voice. He took the gentle kiss, but no more than a few seconds passed before he demanded more; pressing his lips hard, punishingly, possessively against Efflo's. They searched and demanded, guiding him open and taking what was his. "Hmmm." The vibrations of sound thrummed against the pulse he felt in Efflo's bruised, swollen lips. His eyes opened just enough to see through the curtain of his eyelashes, glaring down at his prize. "Will you always be so glad?" He plucked Efflo's lower lip with his teeth, whispering the words against his skin. "Even when I've driven you mad with stubbornness, or said something to hurt your feelings." His teeth let the lip go, and he kissed it, just once. His eyes had been focused on the curve of his lip the entire time, but now they flickered up to those startlingly green eyes. "I don't know how to love, Efflo. Not quite. I want to learn, and I want it to be with you, but I don't want my stumbles and falls to risk this." His hand slid up the boil's shoulder, and curved around his neck. The meat of his thumb traced the line of muscle there. "So much could go wrong. But nothing would be worse than losing you."

The boil made no protest, sinking into the feverish bliss, the incessant surge of Gabby’s lips against his. His mouth parted, an open invitation to the dragon’s demands; it was hardly a punishment when he met every swipe of Gabby’s chilled tongue, every press of his frosted lips, with his own heated breath, succumbing to the master, the ruler of his heart and demanding more in one deliriously fell swoop. A gasp of dismay escaped his sweetly battered mouth, pouting at the pause for speaking. He dawdled before raising his eyes, ears flicking forward as he listened to Gabby’s question, though those teeth grazing the sensitive flesh of his lips had his mind pleasantly distracted. He met Gabby’s striking blue gaze, frowning at the graveness of it, wondering how such a beautiful shade of blue could be so piercing, so serious. Efflo nosed at him, and huffed, before lifting his face to n** at Gabby’s nose. He followed it with an affectionate kiss, soothing over the tip with the caress of his lips. “You’re definitely an idiot,” he breathed, unable to keep the smile from his voice. “Of course I am, and of course I will. Neither of us is perfect, you know. I’m certainly not, and, as much as you pretend to be…” He trailed off for a moment, actually smiling at him this time as his slid his hands over Gabby’s back, resting them in the space between his wings, kneading the spot gently with his fingers. He leaned into the touch of Gabby’s fingers, drawing himself as close to his boilfriend as possible before continuing. “Just because I love you, doesn’t mean I have to like you or what you do all the time. And, the same goes for me, for you. But it doesn’t mean that I don’t love you, and I will always be glad that you love me. Plenty could go wrong, and it probably will, after all, I am just as clueless about all of this as you… I’ve never done this before. But I know… I know that I won’t ever want to do it again. You’re the only one for me Gabby, I don’t want to ever lose you either.” He sighed softly, hugging Gabby close as he lowered his head, resting his chin against the dragon’s shoulder. “I love you,” he whispered, a silly little grin lighting up that dark face. “A lot. It’s kind of a problem.”

Efflo's insightful commentary had Gabby stilling with shock. It was hard to believe, that someone could still love you, without liking you. All of his mistakes, all of his bad moods and his tempermental flights of fancy, all laid out bare in Efflo's future. And he would hate these things, truly he would. But he would never stop loving him. Efflo promised he would never stop loving him. He wanted to believe it. He had to, because he knew he felt the same way. "You're very smart." Gabby purred against the skin of Efflo's cheek as he brushed his face across it. He left a kiss on the edge of his jaw, just under his ear, and pulled away to look at him again. "But if you keep touching me there, we won't be talking about love, anymore." His body had turned rigid and alert from the moment Efflo's hands had slid under his wings. It was an unfair advantage, and both boils knew it, but Gabby had been heroically unreacting up until that very moment. Not reacting.. for the most part. Some things couldn't be helped.

“I know,” he said, pressing a soft kiss to Gabby’s lips, murmuring the words over them. He made no inclination towards moving his hands. “The smartest.”

Efflo made his bed, and Gabby wasted no time in making him lie in it. He pressed his hand firmly against the boils back to hold him, while knocking behind his knees with the heel of his foot. They were down within seconds, flush against the grass beside the lake. Gabby crawled with slow intent to hover over the boil, his hands planting themselves on each side, capturing his prey. He took in a deep breath, inhaling the scent of Efflo and grass together, and lowered down to take the boils mouth, and eventually, the rest of him. The cold spring wind whistled through the trees, stealing the sounds they made for the next few hours. The chill of it always did feel nice against Gabby's back.
