Dragon Knights Fan Fiction / Dragon Knight (adult) Fan Fiction ❯ Earth and Fire, Night and Day ❯ Moonlight ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: Believe me, if I owned the Dragon Knights then I wouldn't be writing a fic about Rath and Thatz; we'd all be far too `busy'... XD

A/N: Ah, and this is my third ever fanfic... In case you haven't read anything else by me, DON'T - no, I mean, I'm slowly posting up all the things I HAD on ff.net, before I was booted... ^^;; Be warned, this is probably one of the most generally `light' kinda fics I've ever written, so I don't touch much on Rath's darker side... And you should also be warned that this was my first real lemon O.o ...I am the master of writing author's notes that scare off all potential readers, aren't I? Just read the dang thing and get it over with XD

Chapter One: Moonlight

===============================================================

Rath sighed, staring up at the moon from his place on top of the inn he and the other knights were staying that evening. It happened to be full, and it bathed his thin figure in silver-blue light. Cold. A perfect setting for his present state of mind...

He had never been exceedingly happy with his life. The castle was so boring, and even when he got to go out on missions nobody ever let him kill any demons. It was his only way of really unwinding, of freeing his mind from the even darker things there...

He almost thought things might get better, the first time he admitted to himself that he might have feelings for one of his fellow knights. But that had been months ago, and he just couldn't force himself to talk to him. Maybe he was just too drawn into himself to ever be able to open up like that.

Suddenly, he heard a slight noise behind him. He whirled around, already preparing to burn whatever it was to a crisp, and... Thatz held up a hand in mock surrender, using the other hand to hoist himself up onto the roof.

"Jumpy?" Thatz commented, grinning.

Rath stared, if only for a moment. Thatz was so beautiful in the moonlight... but then, he was always beautiful... He quickly got control of himself. "Nah, just hoping you were a demon," he said, with his usual over-cheerfulness.

"Sorry to disappoint," Thatz said sarcastically.

Rath lay back down, gazing up at him and grinning in his typical hyperactive fashion. "'S okay," he replied. "So, what'd you want? How'd you know I was up here, anyway?"

Thatz shrugged, lying down next to him. Rath blinked, almost able to feel the heat coming off of him and wishing he could act on the desires his crush's closeness was creating. But he knew Thatz only thought of him as a friend, so what would be the point? He let out a quiet sigh, which the other boy didn't hear.

"I was on my way to the kitchen to get a, um, snack - don't tell anyone," Thatz explained. "I notice your room was empty and asked Fire where you went. He said you'd gone onto the roof before, at other inns, so I might want to check here."

Rath groaned. "Rotten little tattle-tale," he muttered.

"And anyway," Thatz continued, "I just figured that I better warn you. Rune told me after you went to bed that he wanted to make an early start tomorrow - of course - and if he catches you outside he'll have a fit. You know him. Even if me and Fire tell him that you were up here he'll still think you were hunting demons."

Rath groaned again. "And man would I love to," he commented. "I wish he wasn't in such a hurry to get back to Draqueen..."

"I know," Thatz nodded. "There's no time for eating or treasure hunting either..."

Rath made a face. "Treasure hunting? Boring!"

"Oh come on, you can't mind it that much," Thatz argued. "After all, there's usually a powerful demon or three guarding the really good treasure."

"True," Rath agreed.

They fell silent for a minute. Thatz was daydreaming about treasure and food, while Rath was daydreaming about... well, defiantly not demons...

Suddenly Thatz rolled over on his side, so he was facing Rath. Rath felt something like an electric shock go through his body as they touched - only through their clothes, of course, but still... "Hey Rath?" Thatz asked, oblivious of the sharp gasp said knight let out before getting himself under control for the second time that night.

"Yeah?" he replied, nothing but patented, innocent curiosity showing on his face.

"I..." Thatz's jaw clenched, then he just blurted it out. "I love you."

Before Rath even had time to react, Thatz pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss. Thatz's tongue darted between the other's lips, which had parted in surprise, but he only lingered there a moment. Suddenly the Earth dragon knight pulled back, giving Rath just a glimpse of his pained expression before turning away. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't have..." His voice trailed off, and he abruptly started towards the edge of the roof. "I'm going back to bed," he said simply.

In one deft movement Rath was up and grabbing the back of Thatz's shirt. "Don't go," he whispered.

Thatz turned around, startled, and Rath captured his lips. This time they playfully fought over dominance, Thatz letting Rath win in the end.

"I love you too," Rath said when they finally broke apart, his voice a little husky from lack of air.

Thatz stared at him in amazement for a moment, then kissed him again. Rath moaned in pleasure, then Thatz suddenly broke away and started climbing off the roof. The black-haired knight stared after him in confusion until he saw him grinning mischievously up at him. "Last one to my room's a rotten egg!" he hollered up, then disappeared through a window.

"That's not fair!" Rath called back, hurrying after him. "You're already there!" But he was grinning too.

The moment he entered the room, Thatz pounced on him. Growling with feral possessiveness that surprised them both, Rath quickly pushed Thatz down onto the bed. Thatz, laughing as much as he could around the kiss, let him.

They had been kissing for what seemed like only a few moments, when Rath felt Thatz's hand sliding up his shirt. He gasped when the other knight lightly brushed one of his nipples, leaning into the touch. Thatz, grinning again, flipped him over so he was on top, and relieved Rath of his shirt entirely.

Rath pouted. "That's not fair either," he whined, playing with the edge of Thatz's collar.

Thatz smirked. "Patients," he teased, leaning down to take Rath's other nipple in his mouth. Rath groaned, his back arching a little.

Thatz paused for just a moment to catch his breath, when he felt Rath's hands lightly fidgeting with his belt. Surprised, he looked up, to see that it was Rath who was smirking now. Suddenly he was flipped over, causing him to yelp.

Rath snickered. "Well, you didn't think I was gonna let you be on top forever, did you?" he asked sweetly.

Thatz just moaned slightly as the cool air touched his erection; he hadn't thought Rath would be able to undo his belt quite that fast... "Please..." he whispered, and that was all Rath needed to hear.

Rath moved quickly down the other's body, sparing time for just a few quick kisses. He ran his tongue lightly along Thatz's length, then took all of him into his mouth. Thatz bit off a scream of pleasure (for fear of waking someone up) as a moist heat surrounded him.

Rath took as much of Thatz into his mouth as he could then pulled him back out, dragging his teeth slightly against Thatz's skin. The other boy managed to get about half a scream out this time before Rath threw a pillow at him. He grinned weakly and vowed to be a quiet as he could.

Thatz controlled the rhythm more than Rath, thrusting in and out of his mouth in a desperate need for fulfillment. He felt himself nearing the edge, then... he came, screaming into the pillow this time.

Rath snaked up the other's body, kissing him tenderly and letting him taste his own seed. Thatz smiled, deepening the kiss. Suddenly Rath pulled away, looking down at him hopefully. "Please...?" he said, repeating what Thatz said earlier.

Thatz nodded, his cheeks coloring slightly. "There's nothing for lubricant-" he started.

Rath's face fell.

"-but I don't care," he finished, wrapping his arms around his love's neck and kissing his ear lightly.

Rath hesitated. "You sure?" he asked.

Thatz smirked. "Hurry up or I get the top," he threatened.

Rath quickly removed his pants, while Thatz took off his shirt for good measure. Once Rath was naked the other knight took him in as much as he could before Rath got back into bed, blushing a little.

"Don't be shy," Thatz coxed quietly. "You're beautiful."

Rath rolled his eyes. "Sicko," he accused.

Thatz rolled his eyes too. "Way to ruin the mood," he comment sarcastically, but was cut short when Rath placed a gentle finger into his opening. He relaxed quickly, but it took a little longer on the second one. Rath waited patiently after he had added a third until all signs of pain were gone from the other's face, though he actually wasn't sure he could have waited much longer.

He gratefully inserted his length partway into the opening, before pausing to stifle Thatz's pained whimpers with a kiss. Once he had relaxed Rath thrust a little further, then Thatz gasped. Rath grinned slightly. Must have hit the right spot... He thrust out then in again, Thatz eagerly accompanying his movements.

He could feel himself getting near his climax, but he didn't want Thatz to be left out. He stroked the other's previously ignored member in time with his thrusting, biting down on one of the former thief's nipples once he felt Thatz getting close. They both came at almost the exact time; Rath collapsing on Thatz, completely exhausted.

There were a few moments of silence, and Rath was just about to fall asleep when Thatz cleared his throat rather pointedly. "You're, um, crushing me," he grunted.

Rath grinned apologetically. "Oh, uh, sorry," he said, rolling off. "Way to ruin the mood..." Rath kissed him lightly on the forehead, before giving in to temptation and closing his eyes.

"I love you too," Thatz smiled sleepily, and they both drifted off.

===============================================================

"RATH!!! RAAAATTHHH!"

Rath jumped, hearing his name being called, and Thatz groggily opened his eyes. "What the hell...?" Thatz muttered, still half asleep.

"RRRRAAAAAATTTTHHH!!!"

Suddenly Thatz was, oddly enough, wide awake. "Rune!" he moaned. "Rath, under the bed! And grab the cloths!"

Rune burst into the room, just as Thatz managed to make himself look fast asleep. "Thatz!" the elf said crossly. "You should be up already; I told you we were leaving early. And I need you to help me find Rath; I think he's been off hunting demons all night, because I can't find him anywhere..." He stalked off irritably, not even waiting to see if Thatz was getting up or not.

As soon as Rune closed the door, a fit of giggles erupted from under the bed. "It's not funny," Thatz protested. "He almost caught us!"

Rath stuck his head over the edge of the bed, still laughing. "Trust me, it's funny," he assured him before breaking down and laughing some more. Pretty soon Thatz gave up and laughed too.

===============================================================

A/N: Yeah, yeah, I know; it seems like a badly written one-shot... But don't worry, IT'S NOT! Or maybe that should make you worry... Oh well; enough people liked it on ff.net so I guess it can't be as bad as I think it is ^^;; I shall post the next chapter as soon as I feel guilty enough! R&R?
