the wind had always told the golden dragon for the longest time of the presence of their best friend, from their days of hatching back in their mother's arms when all had been swell and their brothers had romped with them in the streams under the watchful gaze of the second royal couple in the history of hell. the two had grown up in sun-warmed days under the sun, tangling and playing without a concern for the adult ways. until it all came crashing apart.

they could recall the rainy day where they stood above their father's freshly dug grave, head down and wailing their heart out in grief, cass pressed into their side as their mother, the queen, wept over the grave of the three princes, their father and two brothers. the royal family had grown silent and they had come to fear the weight of the crown that would be passed down to them. and so, they had been on the run, avoiding the halls of their home, hell. they had met a young boy in their travels, and had befriended him and quickly and helplessly fallen in love with him. returning home with their new crush and best friend in tow, they would learn that their mother's first husband had reincarnated, leaving them with a foreign terrifying step-father that had sired their newest friend.

that hadn't lasted long, bai shi running yet again after something happened, where a monster had come and taken cass away from them, a monster that had all but paralysed their mother when their mother went to intervene. the carnage of the scene had made bai shi believe cass to be dead as no amount of desperate searching had allowed them any comfort to know if their friend and first crush had ever been buried.

and now, here they were, lost in their memories, patrolling the skies high above, sinuous body twisting and mingling with air currents when the one familiar scent entered their nose, their eyes blowing wide open as they let out a snarling, booming roar that they knew the other would know by heart and send some sign of recognition to. the scent was that of freshly turned soil after a rainstorm, mixed with peeled mandarin oranges, the smell of old books, and crushed sprigs of mint. they could never forget this smell.

"橘子! (Júzi!)"

"你笨蛋！ 我的众神！ 当时你在哪里！？ 发生了什么！？ 我以为你死了！！！ 愚蠢的，愚蠢的蛋！ 你太刻薄了！！ 至少找到我在地狱告诉我你还活着！" (Nǐ bèndàn! Wǒ de zhòng shén! Dāngshí nǐ zài nǎlǐ!? Fāshēngle shénme!? Wǒ yǐwéi nǐ sǐle!!! Yúchǔn de, yúchǔn de dàn! Nǐ tài kèbóle!! Zhìshǎo zhǎodào wǒ zài dìyù gàosù wǒ nǐ hái huózhe!)

their voice radiated outwards loudly, growing soft as the oriental dragon immediately bumped heads with cass, their body sliding alongside theirs in a familiar loving hold, purrs rumbling from the serpent as they twined together with their best friend, laughing and gently bumping their jaw with their head, extremely excited and happy now. fat silvery tears welled in their tearducts, nuzzling their muzzle against the underside of cass' jaw, aiming to get their friend on their back for optimal cuddling.

the dragon had never shown this much emotion before anyone, and should anyone stumble across this, they would be shocked to see the vizier of the rosebloods acting like a child in their movements. yet, the ancient being could not find it within themselves to give much of a crap at that moment.

they could see the scars, and smell the pain that lingered within the other, purring still as they gently began to lap at the scars and open wounds, paying special attention to the injuries from cass' mouth being sewn shut, their arms and legs holding onto the other, unwilling to let go. tongue curling over injuries and bloody marks they gave a low grieving noise, head resting against cass', trembling slightly from the shock of the situation, weeping as they rumbled, "you live, mandarin ... you live!" they sob, eyes closed and allowing the long time of not knowing what had happened to crash over them, wanting to take the pain from their friend, the want to prevent all of this pain, all of these years ...


(you twit hardhead! my gods! where were you!? what happened!? i thought you were dead!!! stupid, stupid egg! you are so mean!! at least find me in hell to tell me that you are alive!)

listening to cass' rumbling laughter, bai shi relaxed into the familiar touch, purring as loudly as they could manage, their whole body vibrating with the force behind it as they nuzzled and curled with the other sinuous dragon. getting their muscles to stop wiggling, the oriental dragon happily and gently held cass, their two long bodies twined together completely and protectively, resting in clouds of dust.

they were speechless, happy to have cass back, their purrs keeping words from their throat as they licked at cass' wounds, rubbing their cheeks together and finally nipping at their ear, fluff on their tail frayed and almost wagging, they let their head rest on the ground, listening to the powerful beating of cass' heart. whomever inflicted these scars would definitely pay a hefty price for their actions.

bai kept up the purring, nuzzling them and spreading their scent as far as they could reach on their friend, claiming them as theirs. nobody would touch them and think that they belonged to another group, cass would practically smell of bai shi themselves.

cass was someone that they loved and had recognized it some time back but never thought about it, or what it meant. but to ever say that? to say that they loved them? that took more strength than they had. especially after being turned away by their friend. they couldnt risk losing everyone, not when cass was their last beloved. sighing, the golden dragon nibbled at cass' ear, eyes closed as sadness laced through them before it was shuttered away.

bai groomed their mane, cleaning the wounds with their tongue, making soft grumbles at the taste of their blood, grief soft in their movements. they were angry, filled with anger, but it didn't show on the surface. instead, they softly rumbled their name over and over, licking at their muzzle, the equivalent of kissing them gently, leftovers from the past.

sighing, they curled around them, wanting them to be safe and happy again. nuzzling them, the general gave a broken breath, gently bumping heads with them, mumbling softly to themselves, licking cass' forehead in an affectionate way before they stopped, "(Let's get you somewhere safe, cassie)" they rumble.
