Dryden leaned back and sighed. He looked at his stomach and poked it. Judging by the births this year it was starting to look like this one will be a she. He smiled, ‘I’ll name her after mother, but if it’s a boy I’ll name him after…’

His thoughts came to a halt when Eva walked in and looked at him. That’s right he was getting checked out. “Well Dryden, let’s see your tummy.” She placed her hand on his stomach and smiled, “Wow that’s one healthy child.” Turning around she picked an item up and looked at him. The woman placed the stethoscope against his chest. “Breath in, okay out. Well you lungs are okay and your heart is healthy and the little baby is doing fine.”

“Only eight more to go.”

“Yes only.” The doctor turned around and picked a clip bored up. “Got any questions?”

“Is there away to get Luka to stop fretting?”

“I wish there was a way.”

He slid off the bed and pulled his shirt on. “I wonder if it’ll be a girl.”

“If it is what will you name her?”

“Adelle.”

“It’s a nice name.”

He gave a small smile and looked at her. “Yeah.”


Dryden walked along the hall and stopped when heard a sound. It was Mark pushing a cart with items in it. “Mark.” The boy looked up and he saw the bruise on the side of his face. He pointed at it and the boy covered his cheek. “Fight.”

He started to shake his head, stopped and then nodded.

“Want some help?”

Mark shrugged and started walking; Dryden fell in step next to him.

“How’s the learning going?”

The blonde smiled and stopped, he dug out an item and walked over to a door. An elderly woman answered the door she smiled at Mark. “Mark my dear boy, I see you’ve brought me my father’s watch.”

He handed it to her and she gently took it from the boy. But before he could pull his hand back she grabbed it and placed two gold coins into his hand. “Buy yourself something nice, yes?”

The boy nodded and placed the money in his pocket. Dryden smiled when he walked over, “I see you’ve been picking up pocket change.”

His shoulders shrugged and he chuckled. The two walked down the hallway.
~~~~

Luka jumped off the back of his horse, “Take care girl.”

The horse nickered and nudged his shoulder. He quickly pat her neck and then ran off, a grin was on his face. Today was the day everything was finished. He stopped outside a house and opened the door. “Hello?”

“Luka! You’re early!”

“I came as fast as I could when I got the message.”

“Well let me walk you around and then we can get everything paid for.”

He nodded and looked at the construction worker. The man had dark brown hair pulled back and was built, he showed him the rooms and he nodded as he looked at them. “Okay I’ll bring Dryden by he’s been waiting for this to.”

“Okay I’ll be here waiting.”

“I’ll be right back.” Luka was out the front door and running down the pathway. He slipped into the Main Tree and ran up the stairs. The male took the corner and almost ran right into Jaden. “Hey sorry!”

Jaden sighed and scratched his head with the wrench. That guy was a piece of work some days; he shook his head and walked off. He had to get the AC working or he’ll never hear the end of it from that girl.
~~~

Dryden closed the door and walked over to the couch. He sat down and sighed as he propped his feet up. The blunette was tired and he soon was dozing one arm over his eyes and his hand resting on the slightly swollen tummy. The door opened and Luka walked in, his eyes landed on the couch. He smiled and walked over. Placing one hand on the back of the couch he leaned over and kissed Dryden awake.

Two groggy amethyst eyes looked up at him and then a smile broke across that sleepy face. “Luka yer home.”

“Sorry I was gone for so long.”

He kissed Dryden and the small male moaned into the kiss. They parted and he stood up, “Come on it’s done.”

“What’s done?”

“The new house!” He was sitting up now.

“Really?”

“Yeah. Come on.” Luka picked the small male up and he heard the squeak. “You look tired.”

“Don’t carry me I can walk!”

“Like I said you look tired.”

“Then let me on yer back.” He quickly moved and Dryden was on his back. The two made their way down to the new house. It didn’t take long to buy the house. Dryden liked it and couldn’t help but nuzzle Luka’s neck. “It’s a good house.” He nipped at his ear and Luka had to stop to keep from stumbling. “When can we move in?”

“As soon as I’m done with you.”

“Mmmm, I like the sound of that.”

It took everything to keep Luka from just finding a random empty room and taking Dryden, he pushed the door opened to the apartment. The two made their way to their room. The blunette was on his back and Luka was pushing that shirt up, “You really do make it hard for me to not hold back.”

“You’ve been gone for two weeks.”

“Sorry.”
~~~~

The box dropped on to the ground and Luka grinned. That was the last box. He placed his hand in his pocket and the grin grew even bigger. He finally got the object he wanted to give Dryden. There was a sound next to him and he looked to see Aiden. “Okay what are you up to?”

That grin was back on his face. “Nothing.”

“Ari! Luka is – mumph.”

“Shhhhhhh!” He dragged him out of the house and pulled something out of his pocket. With his hand fisted, he looked around and then placed it in Aiden’s hand.

“Holy shit, where did you find this?”

“Shush!” Aiden and Luka quickly rounded the corner and he just grinned. “Dad heard a rumor about it and told me, Troy over heard and went nuts. He said it was the rarest item and was said to have good luck. So I followed that rumor and it took me a whole week to finally find the place!”

“Luka, this thing is full of old magic. The strongest of its kind, how did you get through the traps?”

“That was not easy or cool but I did it!” The tall male was grinning as he did a little dance right there. “I’ve never felt a thrill like I did getting through there.”

“You sound like a little kid in a candy shop.”

He took the box back and grinned, “I want Dryden to be safe even when I’m not there. This is supposed to be able to protect the wearer and I want Dryden to have it.”

A window opened and Luka slipped the box back into his pocket. “Luka.”

“Hey Dryden.”

“There’s a heavy box in here.” He nodded and ran around to the front door. Aiden followed after, he waved to Dryden who waved back and then the window closed.
~~~~

That night Dryden sat in the room going through the boxes. He was trying to find something anything to eat he was craving something. The blunette gave a growl and he heard a chuckle. “What?”

“Hungry?”

“Munchies.”

“What kind?”

“Something very sweet.”

“Like?”

“I don’t know…” He gave a frustrated growl and pulled at his hair. “Why couldn’t it be something else?”

Luka smiled and gently grabbed his hands, “Okay you sit tight I’ll run out and see if there’s any stalls still open.”

“Okay.” He smiled when Luka kissed him. Dryden watched as he walked out of the room, a few minutes passed and he walked out of the room. He stopped at a door and pushed it open. Zane and Fayt were sharing a bed and Mark was curled up in a sleeping bag on the floor. He smiled, then his stomach lurched and he was running for the bathroom.

That’s were Luka found him. He was bent over the toilet spiting. “Dryden.”

“Ugh… I don’t want to eat…”

“I can see that.”

Looking over at him he gave a sheepish grin and Luka wet a cloth for him. “Thanks.”

“Are you done now?”

“I think… damn felt like my whole stomach came up.” Luka kissed his forehead and he helped him up.

“Let’s head to bed before your stomach flips again.”

“Yeah good… idea…” Dryden’s grip tightened on his arm and he hung his head.

“What is it?”

“Dizzy.”

The red head picked him up and Dryden let his head rest against Luka’s chest. “Usually you complain.”

“Tired.” He kicked the door closed and placed him on the mattress. The blunette smiled when Luka quickly pulled off his shirt and shoes. Then he knelt down and they both laid together. “Can’t wait to get the bed set up.”

He heard the chuckle and smiled as an arm wrapped around his waist. “Get some sleep.”

“M’kay.”

The soft breathing from the dragon reached his ears and he smiled. His fingers ran through that blue hair, and then his fingers brushed over the horns hidden under the hair. He smiled and pulled his hand away. “Night.”
^^^^

It had been a week since they moved in and one thing Luka wasn’t ready for was the scream. He sat up his dagger out and he blinked. There was nothing threaten in the area so why was there screaming early in the morning. He placed the dagger back under the mattress. “Dryden?”

The bathroom door closed and he sighed as he climbed out of the bed. Walking over he leaned against the door frame and rapped on the door. “I’m fine.”

“Sure you are. Open up.”

“No.”

“Dryden.”

“I said I’m fine.” The water was running now. He frowned and turned the knob, it was locked. Then the water stopped.

Luke knelt down and quickly picked the lock. It clicked, he turned and pushed the door opened. “Dryden, what the hell are you doing?!” The small male pulled his head out of the water and looked at him. They both stared at each other.

His hair it was white. Not blue. White. “It’s not coming out.”

“It’s white.”

“The blue is gone. It’s gone. I’m so use to have it blue that…” He shook and whimpered. “I’m not the same.”

The red head was next to him. He held onto the blu- white haired male. “Hey you’re still Dryden, no matter what.” His fingers ran through Dryden’s hair. “Besides it might go back to being Blue later.”

“You think.”

“Yeah.”

“Now me and Troy really do look alike.”

“I’m just glad you two have different eye colors.”

Dryden smiled and looked at the ground. It was going to take some time getting use to it. “Daddy?” The two looked at each other and then Luka was on his feet. “I hear daddy where is he.”

“Hold on Zane.”

He finally found a towel and covered his head just as Zane ran in. “Daddy!” The small boy latched onto Dryden. “What happen? You did not find a snake did you.” A shiver worked its way up his spine.

“No. I’m going to show ya something okay.” He pulled the towel off and Zane looked at him.

“You look like uncle Troy.”

“That’s because we’re twins.”

“Are you sure? Troy likes to pick on me.”

“I’m sure.” Dryden grinned. “Because Troy doesn’t like to take baths as much as I do.” Zane cried for help when Dryden jumped into the water with the fully clothed boy.

“Help!” Luka smiled as Dryden held the boy in the water.

“No way, ya got out of bathing last night!”

“Papa, help me!”

Luka pulled his shirt off, “Move over I’m coming in!”

“Ah! Luka there’s not enough room!”

Mark stumbled into the room and rubbed at his eyes. He found all three of them in the bath and they were clothed. Rubbing them harder he blinked and felt someone run by, “I wanna join!”

Fayt was now at the side of the bath. The blond shook his head and walked away, it was too early. No one was sane in the mornings.
~~~~

Dryden glanced over at the two small boys in the tub. They had bubbles all around them. He was knelt on the ground wiping up the water mess they had caused earlier. When he was done he stood up and sighed. “Well water is gone.” He yawned and moved into the bedroom. As he picked up the wet clothes on the ground he stopped and looked at the mirror. His hair was white, just like his twin and his mother’s.

Looking away he walked out of the room. He needed to dry out the clothes.

The white haired male was hanging the wet clothes on the line when Luka appeared behind him. He jumped when Luka hugged him. “Looks like the ears and tail are gone.”

“Luka!”

“I’m going to miss them.”

“Really? I’m not.”

“Hmmm…” He kissed him on the neck.

“You take advantage of them.”

“I’m still going to miss them.”

“Ya going to help?”

“With what?”

Dryden slipped out of his arms and placed some wet clothes in his arms. “Start hanging I’m going to check on the kids.” Luka watched as he walked into the house and he was left there with the rest of the wet clothes.
~~~~

He came too with a start. Sitting up he looked around, Zane was curled up next to him and Fayt was laying next to Zane. He rubbed his head and sighed. There was a knock and he climbed out of the bed. Walking through the hall and into the living room, he got to the door.

Opening the door he found Randy. “Oh hey.”

“Let me guess sleeping.”

“Yeah.”

“I would of come by later.”

“It’s okay I need to get up. I’ll go get Fayt, I think Luka’s around somewhere.” He yawned and walked back to his room. Randy heard a sound off to his side and followed it. Of course Luka was sitting in a room off the living area. He wasn’t doing anything but opening and closing a box.

“When did Dryden’s hair change?”

Luka looked up and he sighed. “This morning. Woke me up when he screamed and scared me when I found him with his head under the water.”

“You look lost.”

“I was thinking.”

“About?”

“How to give this to Dryden.”

“Why don’t you just give it to him? If you want I’ll take the kids so you can have some time with Dryden.”

“That would help.”

“What would help?” Luka and Randy froze. Dryden was standing behind Randy. The bear shifter stepped in front of Dryden as Luka quickly stashed the box somewhere. “What’s going on?”

“Randy was going to take Zane and Mark over to his house for the rest of the day. You look like you’re going to drop any minute.”

“I’m fine…”

“Dryden just for the night.”

He sighed and looked at Luka, who had walked over to the doorway. “But…”

Just then Zane ran out and Fayt was behind him. “Can I go over with Fayt!?”

They looked at him and Luka grinned. “You’ve been out voted.”

“Fine ya can go.”

Zane cheered and he ran to his room to get his stuff. Fayt ran after him laughing. A few minutes later the two kids left with Randy to go get Mark from Jaden’s place. Dryden glanced at Luka and he folded his arms. The red head gave a wary laugh and those amethyst eyes narrowed. “What?”

“Yer up to something. It had better not be something stupid.”

“It’s not.”

“So yer planning something.”

“Yeah… wait right here.” He ran off into the other room and came back, a box in his hand. “It’s nothing big I heard about it and thought you might like it.”

He opened the box and his eyes widened. “Where did you find it?” That’s when he told Dryden the story on how he found it and how he had to get past all the traps. The younger male hung his head and sighed, “Luka, yer crazy.”

“But you love me right?”

Dryden smiled and pulled Luka down as he kissed him. Their tongues caressed and Luka pulled that slim body closer to his. “Mngh Luka… food or…” They kissed once more but this time a stomach growled and Dryden sighed as his head rested against Luka’s shoulder. “Damn stomach… let’s get food first.”

The red head smiled, “Come on.” They walked out into the kitchen and both of them looked in the fridge to find food.

The box sat on the table with the lid still open. Inside was a pendent, it looked like it had a flame frozen in side and it was the size of a nickel. The flame looked like it flickered and stopped. It was on a thin piece of leather and had a sliver clasp.

The two walked out a sandwich for Dryden and a glass of water for Luka, both dropped on the couch. Luka was sitting with his legs stretched out along the couch and Dryden was sitting between his legs his back against him. The white haired male quickly finished his food before Luka had a chance to drink half his water. He smiled and wrapped his arms around Dryden, his hands slipped under his shirt to rest on his stomach.

Dryden placed his hands over Luka’s and they both sat like that for a little while. “Luka?”

“Hmm?”

He tipped his head to the side and glanced at Luka, his arm reached up. It was gentle and soft, that kiss they shared and Dryden shivered as one of those hands slipped lower. A gasp slipped out and Luka smirked. “I was going to… nngh… never mind.” Dryden watched as Luka undid his shorts and pushed them down past his hips. Then that hand started to touch and stroke him. He twitched and let his head fall back as Luka stroked him faster. A tongue ran over his neck and he shivered.

Luka nipped at his neck and slipped his other hand up his stomach. “Feel good?” One of those fingers rubbed over a nipple and Dryden arched his back.

“Yes…” He was panting and gripping the couch. “…Luka…”

“Hmm?”

Those fingers gently pinched and tugged on his nipple and he gasped. “Please… more…”

“I’ll think about it.” Was what he said as he bit down on Dryden’s ear, a cry came from the male. “You seem to be enjoying this more.” The red head stopped playing with his nipples and reached down to pull him closer.

“What… ahhh… about ya?”

“I’m okay. Today I’m going to make you feel good.”

Dryden shivered and whimpered. He felt so good. But he wanted more, he wanted Luka. He pushed back against Luka and the red head chuckled. “Luka… please…” Luka rubbed two fingers over Dryden’s lips, and then they slipped into his mouth. A soft groan came from Luka as Dryden sucked on those fingers. His tongue ran along them as his hand came up to grip Luka’s hand. The sounds from Dryden had Luka panting and hard. “Mmngh……” He sucked on each tip and nipped at them only to take those fingers back into his mouth.

Luka pulled them away and shifted Dryden in his lap. His shorts were on the floor, one leg was being held up as Luka pushed a slicked finger into Dryden. The white haired male gasped out and then let out a long moan. That finger moved, seeking for something. Then Dryden cried out as that one finger rubbed against that bundle of nerves. His cries got louder as a second finger joined the first.

“Ahhh…… so nngh…… hot…” His toes curled and his fingers gripped at Luka’s arm and the couch. “Luka…… please!” The fingers crooked and the hand stroking him sped up. His body jerked and pushed back trying to get more from the fingers. “Please…… I want you.”

He groaned at the needy plea. A third finger slipped in and Dryden let his head fall back against Luka’s shoulder again. The red head turned and kissed Dryden, a hand came up and tangled in Luka’s hair. It took everything to keep him from bending Dryden over and fucking him till they both couldn’t move.

Dryden shivered and gasped letting Luka slip his tongue into his mouth. The writhing body arched and Dryden pulled away. His body shook and he whimpered, “So…… close! Luka…… please…” That body stiffened and his hips jerked up and he cried out. Luka smirked and nipped at his ear as he pulled those fingers out.

“Mmmm, you really came this time.”

“Luka…” He slumped against him panting, amethyst eyes glanced down and watched as Luka’s hand raised up to his mouth. A tongue came out and licked those sticky fingers clean. His face flushed and Luka smirked.

“Someone is hard again.”

The white haired male's flush darkened and he squeaked when Luka twisted him around. “What are you doing?”

A grin slowly spread across his face and Dryden became nervous. “I’m going to make you feel good.”
^^^

Dryden shivered as he slowly woke up. A hand was resting on his stomach and their fingers were caressing the skin. That’s right he and Luka had moved to the bedroom after the first two times in the living room. How many did times did they do it? His ass was sore that’s for sure.

He rolled over and found Luka awake, “Hey.”

“Look who woke up.” Luka went to kiss him only to find him gone and the door to the bathroom slamming shut. “And now he’s in the bathroom.” He smiled and climbed out of bed, bending down he picked his up pants and walked over to get some clean clothes. When Dryden walked out he was dressed and he leaned against the doorframe.

“Urg… I can’t wait till this is over.”

He gave him a soft smile and walked over to Dryden holding some clothes. “Let’s get cleaned up.”

Dryden nodded, “Okay.”
