Dragon Knights Fan Fiction / Dragon Knight (adult) Fan Fiction ❯ Earth, Fire and Water ❯ Confessions ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: Dude, do I -look- like Miniko Ohkami? ...Well, actually, I might; I don't know what she looks like O.o But I severely doubt it.

A/N: *beam* I told you I'd get that sequel up just as fast as I could! Thank-u to all my beloved reviewers, and also to my friends; they were the main driving forces behind getting my lazy butt in gear when I first started writing this. In fact, coincidently, they were the main ones pushing me to finish it too, more than I was anyway ^^;; Well, the first chapter's a tad strange... but enjoy!

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

Chapter One: Confessions

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

It was the perfect night. The sky was clear and the air was warm, but not as blisteringly hot as it had been during the day. All the knights and officers were at the castle, and Lykouleon had arranged a feast outdoors.

Ruwalk, in line at one of the serving tables, took in the party. Tables laden with food were illuminated by paper lanterns, which also cast a pleasant glow on everyone's cheerful faces. Even Alfeegi seemed less uptight than usual...

Smiling slightly, the yellow officer made a beeline for him once he had gotten his food. He casually ruffled Alfeegi's teal hair as he sat, causing him to blush.

"Do you have to do that?" the other officer grumbled, but Ruwalk caught the slightest grin on his face.

"Oh, come on; you know you like it..."

"Ruwalk!" Alfeegi hissed, gesturing tightly at the people surrounding them. Ruwalk just smile sweetly, and shut up.

After they had finished eating, Ruwalk stood. "We need to talk," he commented.

Alfeegi raised an eyebrow. "We do?"

The brown-haired officer nodded. "Yes. Oh, don't look like that; it's nothing bad."

The moment they were far enough in to the palace garden to be out of sight of the party, Ruwalk pushed Alfeegi in to a tree and kissed him gently. When they pulled apart Alfeegi really did grin, expecting more, but the other shook his head. "Sorry, but that wasn't the main reason I brought you out here. We really do need to talk."

"About what?" he asked curiously.

"'Feegi-kun..." He hesitated. "I think tonight would be a good night to tell them. I mean, we've got everyone in one place and everything; we could get it all over with at once."

Alfeegi groaned. "Do we really have to?"

Ruwalk nodded firmly. "Yes. We can't hide it forever, you know. And I think dear lord Lykouleon would rather hear it from us than via gossip," he added teasingly.

Alfeegi rolled his eyes. "Yes, and what if the lord doesn't like what he hears? What if he refuses to let us be together?"

"You are unbelievably paranoid," Ruwalk said frankly. "The lord understands true love; you know that as well as I do. You aren't embarrassed of me, are you?" 'Ah, my secret weapon...'

"No!" he said hotly.

Ruwalk beamed. "Then you have nothing to be afraid of, now do you?" And with that, he grabbed his protesting koi by the wrist and dragged him back to the party.

"Everyone, Alfeegi and I have something we'd like to say," Ruwalk announce, once they got there.

The chattering continued.

Alfeegi shot him a glance that hinted at revenge to be reaped later, then cleared his throat. "Quiet!" he shouted. That worked; even Lykouleon went silent.

Ruwalk grinned sheepishly, nervous himself now that all eyes were on him. "Um... Alfeegi and I have something we'd like to say," he repeated. "The thing is... well... We're in love."

Alfeegi looked like he was going to faint. There was a moment of silence, then Lykouleon started clapping. Within seconds, everyone was doing so; Rath actually whistled. Smiling in relief, the couple sat down.

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

Rath and Thatz made their way slowly over to congratulate the officers - slowly, because almost everybody else was doing the same. "It's so sweet, isn't it?" Rath commented, starry-eyed.

Thatz made a small gagging noise. "You're such a hopeless romantic..."

"Yeah, but you're still the girl in this relationship," he whispered loftily.

"Am not!" he shot back, brandishing a chicken leg.

Rath sweatdropped, staring at it for a moment. "Prove it."

"How do you suggest I do that?"

"Well... Between Alfeegi and Ruwalk, who would you say is the girl?"

Thatz frowned. "That's a tough one... 'Feegi, I guess... But, uh, don't tell him I said that, please."

Rath smirked. "Exactly, because Ruwalk was the only one man enough to come out and tell the castle that they were together. I don't suppose you see what I'm asking you to do, do you?"

Thatz gaped at him. "I... gah... no way!"

Rath snickered. "Girly-girl," he said simply, and left the sputtering earth knight behind to talk to Ruwalk and Alfeegi.

Thatz ran after him. "Wait a minute! You can't seriously want to - eh heh, hi, Ruwalk, Alfeegi!"

Ruwalk stared at him for a moment, nonplused. "Um, hi."

Rath beamed. "Hi! We just thought we'd come over to congratulate you two. I think you make a cute couple, really." Alfeegi blushed bright red, and Ruwalk sweatdropped. Someone was on a sugar high... "If you don't mind me asking though, how do you ever 'do' anything, if you know what I mean? I mean, it's always so busy around here..."

Now they were both blushing. "Rath!" Thatz moaned, dragging him away before the other couple could get over their shock.

"Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?" the former thief hissed, once they were out of sight of the party.

Rath seemed to consider it for a moment. "Yeah, that was pretty much the idea."

"You, I - ...mmph..." Any ranting he may have had planned was stifled by a sudden kiss.

When they pulled apart, Rath grinned cutely. "Ple---ase will you tell them?"

"Why?" he asked weakly.

The other shrugged. "Well, it would make having sex without being interrupted a lot easier... why not, anyway? Nobody seemed particularly bothered by Alfeegi and Ruwalk."

Thatz shifted nervously. "Well, it's just... Rune," he finally admitted. 'I shouldn't even be telling him this...' "He seemed really bothered, you know, that one time when he walked in on us. And have you noticed, he doesn't hang out with us nearly as often anymore? I guess I don't want to rub his face in it... Well, I mean... Aw, you know what I mean. Just forget it."

Rath hesitated; no, he didn't quite know what he meant, actually. He could see where he was coming from, but that was a really weird way of phrasing it. ...He shrugged it off. He wasn't the only one that had been at the sugar. "Just forget it?" he echoed hopefully. "Does that mean you'll do it, then?"

Thatz rolled his eyes. "Yeah, whatever."

"But not right now?"

He blinked, then grinned. "No, not right now," he agreed, leaning in for another kiss. Rath gasped into it after a moment when he felt hands snaking up his shirt to brush over his pert nipples. Thatz grinned, removing his koi's top completely and preceding to shower his chest in kisses. Somewhere during all this, while his attention was otherwise occupied, Rath lost his pants as well.

Thatz paused a moment to catch his breath, and to look the other knight over. "You really are beautiful," he commented quietly.

Said other knight rolled his eyes, as if to say, 'don't get all mushy.' "So are you, but you're really a tease, too."

He snickered. "I know." But he knelt down anyway, licking pre-cum off of Rath's length. Rath, meanwhile, leaned weakly against the garden wall, not capable of much else besides moaning at this point. Finally the ex-thief had mercy, and took all of him into his mouth. Rath's fingers twined in green hair, pushing him closer.

He came in no time; Rath had always thought that his koi had an unnatural talent in that particular area. Once his breath had begun to slow, Thatz pinned him to the wall for a brief kiss. Once they pulled apart, Rath grinned. "I believe that what you're trying to get across to me is, it's your turn?" Thatz merely grinned too, and went back to kissing him. While they kissed, Rath casually slid his hand down the other's pants.

There was a scream.

The couple hurriedly disentangled themselves, and turned to gape at Cesia - who was in the act of turning away from *them*. "Um... it's not what it looks like?" Thatz tried weakly, while Rath scrambled to find his pants.

"Are you decent yet?" she directed at Rath, ignoring the other boy.

Rath glance at Thatz, and giggled. "It's not me you should be worrying about, I think..."

He was promptly whacked over the head. "It's not funny!" the very-turned-on earth knight fumed.

"Oh, this is so cute!" Cesia gushed, whirling around again. "I would never have guessed!"

Thatz sweatdropped. And he thought Rath was bad... "Hey, hold on a minute," he said, in spite of wanting her gone as soon as possible. "I thought you, well, *liked* Rath. So how come you're so... happy?" 'And scary...'

She waved it off like it was nothing. "Oh, only as a friend; I like Zoma." Now Rath sweatdropped too; the kid only came up to her knee. But on the flip side, he probably had a good view from down there... Eew. "Well, come on; we've got to go tell everybody!"

Thatz choked. "Hey, hold on a minute! Can't you go, I dunno, tell them for us? We wouldn't mind, honestly."

She shook her head. "Oh no; you've got to tell them yourselves!" And with that, she dragged them both back to the party.

She shoved Rath and Thatz both in front of her once they got back. "Everybody, these two have something to say!" she announced cheerfully.

Rath groaned. 'Ooh, she's so gonna get it... In fact, hey, she's gonna get it right now!' "Thatz and I are in love," he said, in a business-like manner. "And so are Cesia and Zoma."

Several attempted murders and many congratulations later, it had finally calmed down. Rath elbowed Thatz. "Hey, guess what I just did?"

He eyed him warily. "What?"

"Proved I was the guy!"

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

A/N: *cackles* Yup, insane as always... Maybe a little too insane, but oh well O.o The next chapter will be more serious, I promise - at least in parts... By the by, sorry I made Cesia so ditzy. I really do like her - in fact, I think she's the coolest female character in Dragon Knights - but it's just that she has such wonderful ditzy-ness potential. And yes, I know this chapter was pretty pointless. In fact, the story would probably be just fine if I completely cut it... *sigh* R&R anyway, and I'll give you pocky!
