Secret Rendezvous

Kinshin: There are a few things I want to clear up. For everyone who wants to know Rune's lover, I wasn't going to reveal who it is during further chapters for a few reasons, which will be to hard to explain right now. It is supposed to be a surprise in the middle of this story. You have to read further to find that out. And the second thing, about Rune being pregnant is sort of right. You'll find out later. Thank you people for visiting!

Part 2: One Week

He stared down at the elf. They never really had sex or anything. He waited until the elf would be ready. He could understand because of what he did before. Not visiting for a full week was of importance. Of course a full week without the elf was pure torture for him. But then there were pressing matters of these new arrivals that kept attacking both demons and dragons. Some new arrival wants to claim control of all of Dusis. Not that it was a problem but the arrival is straight competition. Somehow they've avoided being seen out in the open and much weren't known about them. Thus he was having a hard time. He sighed and lied back down beside the elf. He wouldn't leave tonight; he'd stay till the elf woke up.

The next morning Rune woke up to a comforting warmth beside him. He smiled a bit and snuggled up to it. Of course it was a while until he came to his senses that blankets were never usually warm and that they didn't have heartbeats. He snapped his eyes open and saw his lover next to him sleeping. He was surprised because usually he'd leave during the night and he'd always wake up alone. But then he was glad for this and sighed.

He felt the bile running up his throat. The usual morning sickness that accompanied the morning. He quickly stood up and went to the bathroom and threw up in the sink since he couldn't hold it in longer. He felt his hair being pulled back so it wouldn't go in his face. He then threw out the last of it and stood up wiping his mouth. He really didn't like it.

"Are you okay?" his lover asked concerned.

"Yes I'm fine, I just wasn't feeling well right now. It'll pass later on the day. Why are you here? You always leave in the middle of the night," Rune answered while giving a question of his own.

"Do you not want me here?" his lover answered with a bit of hurt in his voice.

"No, I didn't mean that, it's just that I'm surprised that you're still here." Rune said assuring his lover that he wanted him there.

"Good because this whole week I'm going to spend it with you."

"What?" Rune asked in surprise. He couldn't believe it. His lover was going to stay with him for a week? "But what about the others? What am I going to tell them?" Rune said thinking about Rath and Thatz's reaction if they saw who he was with.

"Don't worry love, I'll just be in the shadows watching you. I do not wish to be among the company surrounding you. Plus I do not wish those new arrivals to be hurting you. I noticed their pattern and they seem to be trailing you and your companions."

"Oh. I never noticed. They must be what Lord Lykouleon was talking about."

"Must you say his name?" his lover said while helping him to the bed to rest since Rune was sorta sick.

"I can't help it. I developed that habit."

"Is there a way that I could make you stop that habit?"

"I don't know."

"They could take away your dragon powers." His lover said wrapping arms around his waist and placing a kiss on the exposed neck.

"So? Water already knows about us. He promised not to tell."

"No wonder I never see that dragon anywhere."

"Well I-"

Rune was interrupted with a knock on the door. The door was beginning to open and Rune pushed his lover to hide in the closet. Rath's head peaked out from the opening of the door.

"Hey Rune, are you coming? We're leaving," Rath said. Rune didn't wake up that late did he?

"Okay I'll be right out."

He saw his lover grab his cloak and walked towards the window. Rune sighed.

"You're not saying goodbye?" Rune said. His lover walked towards him and gave him a kiss and pulled away. "I'll see you." Rune said before rushing out the door without even thinking if he forgot something.

"What did I do to deserve him?" he asked to no one in particular.

~ You didn't. Plus you don't. ~ He saw the water dragon hold up a sign. He just glared at the water dragon perched on the bed.

"Looks like he forgot you again."

~ Yeah, because of you. ~

"I guess I'll just take you with me."

~ I'm sure I'll enjoy your company. ~

He picked up the water dragon and exited out the window and followed the trail to where his elf went. He stayed hidden in the shadows also keeping a look out for any of the new arrivals so as they do not harm his mate. Of course it was very hard to concentrate when the company is being an annoying little dragon. So far the water dragon has been annoying him to no end. Usually he would just kill whoever was annoying him but since Rune might get mad at him he couldn't. It was very tempting to kill the little dragon.

He looked down at the camp that his lover and companions set up.

Rath made the fire while the other two just set up the sleeping bags. It just so happened that they haven't ran into any enemies or demons so far. From what they concluded there were supposed to be some demons attacking about now. Rath was rather disappointed as was Thatz because there were no treasure hunts to go on. Rune was rather pleased since he didn't feel like fighting other demons at the moment. Plus he felt weird. He's been hungrier than usual and back pains, and has been snapping at his friends harsher than usual. He found it weird, as did Rath and Thatz that avoided angering the elf.

Rune sighed and just went for a walk nearby hoping to clear his head a bit before nightfall came.
