   Yin woke up when it was still dark, and she realized she was wrapped in Vedran's arms.
   A pink color tinted her cheeks.
   What is wrong with me? She thought. He's a flaring human. Don't think about him in any other way Yin. She scolded herself.
   "Yin it's not morning yet." Vedran said sleepily. "Did you have a nightmare?" He asked a hint of concern in his voice.
   Yin looked up at him. "No I did not have a nightmare. I just woke up." She answered.
   "Okay." Vedran said smiling.
   If he knew what I looked like in my dragon form he probably would not want to be this close to me. Yin thought.
   "Vedran have you ever seen a dragon?" Yin asked.
   "No." Vedran shook his head. "But I have heard of what they look like, and seen pictures." He added.
   "I don't want you to get scared when you see me as a dragon." Yin stated.
   "I doubt I'll be scared of you." Vedran said. "You probably look just as beautiful as a dragon as you do a human." He smiled.
   "No." Yin said. "I look like a dragon.".
   "Yeah." Vedran nodded. "And from the pictures I've seen dragons are beautiful." He stated.
   Yin looked away from him.
   "Can I see your dragon form?" Vedran asked.
   "Why?" Yin asked, avoiding eye contact.
   "Because I wanna see." Vedran answered.
   "You can hardly see anything. It's to dark." Yin said.
   "Then I'll wait till morning." Vedran snuggled closer to her, making Yin blush a little.
   Thank flaring goodness it's dark so he can't see me blush. Yin thought.
   "Yin." Vedran said.
   "Yeah?" She asked.
   "Are you sure you won't show me right now?" Vedran asked.
   Yin paused for a moment. "Fine." Yin said finally. "But don't scream if you get scared." She ordered.
   "I won't get scared." Vedran said.
   Yin rolled her eyes. "Scoot back a little." She commanded.
   "Yes Yin." Vedran scooted back.
   Yin started to change forms.
   Her blue eyes actually glowed in the dark, Vedran saw her pupils go from circles to slits, she grew short horns, her fingernails changed to look more like claws, and she grew wings.
   "Wow!" Vedran said in amazement. "You are beautiful." He said.
   Yin blushed slightly, and she shifted a bit uncomfortably under the blanket. Her wings felt cramped under the blanket.
   "Ow." Yin cringed at the pained feeling.
   "What's wrong?" Vedran asked, concern in his voice again.
   "My wings feel crammed." Yin answered.
   "Oh! Um! What should I do?" Vedran asked.
   Yin held the blanket up off of her. "Hold the blanket like this." Yin ordered.
   Vedran did as Yin told him to.
   "Don't freak out." Yin ordered.
   "About wha-." He started to say, but realized what she meant.
   Yin wrapped her wings around them.
   "About that." Yin stated.
   "They're beautiful." He said smiling brightly at her.
   Yin blushed for the third time.
   "Stop complimenting me." Yin ordered.
   "Why?" Vedran asked.
   Because you keep flustering me, and making me blush, but I won't tell you that. Yin thought. "Just stop." She said, avoiding his gaze again.
   "But I can't stop complimenting someone worthy of complimenting." Vedran stated.
   "You're still complimenting me." Yin said.
   "I am." Vedran nodded.
   "Stop." Yin ordered.
   "Why should I?" Vedran asked.
   "Because! You're a human, and I'm a dragon." Yin explained.
   "Is it frowned upon for a dragon to be with a human?" Vedran asked.
   "It's not a loved thing." Yin informed.
   "So it would be okay?" Vedran asked.
   "Yes. But it would be wrong." Yin stated.
   "Why would it be wrong?" Vedran questioned.
   "It just would." Yin said, sitting up, crossing her arms, and stared at the door.
   The room was getting lighter, but the sun wasn't quite rising yet.
   "Is this really about me being a human?" Vedran asked, sitting up beside her.
   There is something else I'm kind of weary about. Yin thought, but she didn't answer his question out loud.
   "How many girls have you been with?" Yin finally asked after getting irritated with the feeling of him staring at her.
   "I don't really date anyone." Vedran laughed.
   "How many girls have you kissed?" Yin asked, a bit of a growl in her tone.
   "Two or Three." Vedran answered. "Though I've had way more kiss me. I don't understand it, but girls flock around me, and they all seem to want to kiss me." He seemed genuinely baffled by that.
   Idiot. Yin rolled her eyes.
   "How about you?" Vedran asked. "How many guys have you been with?".
   "None." Yin answered simply.
   "And how many guys have you kissed?" Vedran asked.
   "Two." Yin stated. "Both of them I would rather never see again.".
   "Wow." Vedran said. "I don't think I'll try kissing you now.".
   "Not because they kissed me." Yin informed.
   "So it would be okay if I kiss you?" Vedran asked.
   "If you kiss me I will rip your throat out." Yin growled.
   "Thank you for that warning." Vedran thanked with a smile.
   "You're welcome your highness." Yin rolled her eyes.
   "Now, now. Don't start calling me 'your highness' I'd much rather Vad." Vedran said.
   "Fine Vad. It's morning." She pointed out the window.
   The sun had risen to just above the horizon.
   "It is." Vedran nodded smiling at her.
   "Why are you smiling at me like that?" Yin questioned.
   "You look beautiful in your dragon form in the morning." Vedran answered still smiling.
   "Stop complimenting me." Yin ordered.
   Vedran just smiled at her.
   Yin rolled her eyes, and changed back into her human form.
   Vedran looked a little disappointed, but he smiled at her anyway.
   "I'll go down and get us some breakfast." Vedran said. "I don't want a riot breaking out again if you go down there. So stay up here." He ordered.
   "If Cea is down there tell him he can come to our room this time." Yin said.
   "Yes Yin." Vedran said, and he left.
   Yin smiled.
   He's not to awful. He's actually quite nice. She thought.
   But he's still a human.

   I'm sorry this was really mushy.

   That's all I wanted to do. Apologize for it being lovey and mushy.

   Love Y'all! •VJ~Δ
