Qibli's POV
As I exited the sleeping cave- Winter so close behind me that my tail was numb from the cold- I headed in the direction of the cafeteria. We entered through the open archway, the chaos of the room giving me an instant headache. "Loud..." Winter growled softly behind me. I could only come to the assumption; he doesn't like loud noises. "Yea.. I already have a headache." I replied, slightly glancing at him to find his cold eyes staring right back at me. Once I saw him, he instantly jerked his head back to stare straight forward. 'Odd' I thought. 'He seems like he isn't quite like I first assumed..'

Winter POV
'He has a gorgeous scale color..... never seen gold that vibrant..... and caramel eyes..... I wonder what's in that sack around his neck...... he seems like he could make friends with anyone..... CRAP HE'S LOOKING AT ME!' I swiveled around to look into the cafeteria cave. 'FUCK I hope he didn't see me staring at him.' I thought frantically.

Why was I staring at him??

Because you like him

AS A FRIEN- AN ACQUAINTANCE!!!

Yeah not even you believe that.

Shut up!

No. I'm your consciounsce.

Well shut up anyways!

No. You like him and you know it

As a-

Friend, Boy

Sure- WAIT WHAT?

A friend that is of the male division.

Oh.. yea... that.

So talk to him more!! I think you're scaring him!

Im scaring him??!! I don't CARE!!! I DON'T TALK TO OTHER-TRIBE-SCUM!! I AM A ROYAL ICEWING!!!

I looked around, locking on something glimering, and caramel colored. 'Fuck.. his eyes... AGAIN SERIOUSLY ?!? PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER WINTER!' I promptly hopped over the short wall created to keep prey in- accidentaly brushing his side with mine- and shuffled over to a table with my Winglet. "Hey its Winter!" Yelled the simply atrocious bright yellow and pink rainwing. Kinkajou I think. I rolled my eyes and glared at her for being so LOUD. 'NO one was EVER this loud in the icewing palace! We were all always respectful and quiet. Incase of sleeping dragons, or someone working. Well I guess rainwing are too stupid to-' "Oh no!! We have no open seats!!! I'm so sorry Winter! But there is a table over there!" She pointed at a table a few feet away from theirs. It was empty. The Nightwing nodded in approval. 'Psh like I need YOUR approval, nightwing!' I glanced behind me to find out what was making my tail so unbearably WARM! But all I was met with, was my nose coming into contact with the other dragons nose, and their warm caramel eyes...

Qibli's POV
He whipped his head around so fast I'm surprised he didn't give himself whiplash. But, that wasn't my biggest concern... surprisingly. It was: 'what is he gonna do now that we are TOUCHING NOSES???' Of course, I didn't want to be the one to move, but evidently, neither did he. He started out growling, but soon he completely calmed and became more flustered than angry. So we stood like this for all of 10 seconds before I started blushing and hopped backwards with a yelp. "Uh... s- sorry..." I looked around, saw the empty table, and headed for it. I didn't get very far before I felt a cold talon on my tail, stopping me completely. This dragon knew how to do this without poisoning themselves, and without hurting my tail. They must of fought against my kind before... 'of course. It's Winter.' I didn't even have to look behind me to know that. I heard the rainwing whisper something, but couldn't make it out; neither could Winter from the looks of it. Then he released my tail barb. I swiftly swung it back into it's protective position- to avoid hurting anyone- and walked beside Winter to our table.

Winter's POV
'I don't want to move...' I thought. 'WHY?! I AM AN ICEWING WHO DOESN'T GET FLUSTERED!' I internally sighed. 'I can't keep this up. I know I'm lying to myself, I just have to keep up my image so no one thinks I'm acting like a fuzzy pushover scavenger or something.' To my surprise, he actually moved first. I saw pink cross his snout before he leapt back, away from me. He frantically looked around for an escape route before darting in the direction of our table. 'Our.. not a pronoun we use often in the ice kingdom..' but this isn't the ice kingdom. It will NEVER be like home, and they can never MAKE it like home. I rested my talon above his scorpion barb, on the pressure point along his tail. He immediately stopped moving and dint look back at me. I heard Kinkajou whisper: "I think he likes Winter!" She giggled and so did the rest of them. Something about them talking about Qibli and I, enraged me.  We sat down at our table across from each other. He looked at me, then to a sheep, then to my eyes, then skewered the sheep on his front talon and bit it's head off. I smirked mentally before stabbing a bunny, flicking it into the air, and snapping my jaws around it mid-fall. He glared at me, but I could see him smile a little. "You think this is a game, ice-skater?" He asked sassily. "I think I do, lizard sniffer." He chuckled at me, which soon turned into us both laughing hysterically. We both continued talking throughout lunch, history, and English. Before I knew it, we were on our way to our sleeping cave. "Night Winter." He hopped onto his bed and sighed. "G'night Qibli." I clambered up the wall ladder onto  my icy ledge of a bed. 'That was the most fun I've had in- well.. ever.' I thought before drifting off into sleep.
