Zydes nodded and went into the kitchen, telling the chef what they wanted.
"Also, put this in his food. Make sure he can't tell it's there." he ordered, walking back to his younger fiancé.
"I put our orders in. It should be ready in about forty-five minutes."

"Hmmm... Ok... So what... Are we going back for the time being?", he asked simply. "When my powers would unsealed anyway?"

"You're powers will be unsealed after our wedding ceremony." Zydes told him, sitting next to the young dragon.
"Have you thought about when you'd like the ceremony to be?"

"So... it's like blackmail really.. Saying - sooner you marry sooner your power will be back", he muttered, feeling quite uncomfortable without his powers.. but mostly flying.
Aque wanted to go up, dive in clouds, teasing birds..

Zydes shook his head with furrowed eyebrows.
"It's not blackmail at all. Your father wanted it this way becaus he knew you would protest greatly and possibly hurt me or yourself. Can you imagine what would have happened the moment you came in the door? Remember your room after you fit? Imagine that, but with magic added."

"I know all that", he growled, glaring at Zydes. "I know all of the damn reasons! But I don't like it! Only thing I can do in that loony situation. Any way I can protest or run away is blocked and it isn't really strange of me."

Zydes held his hands up in defense and shook his head.
"Calm down, Aque. If you want to get it done earlier, all you have to do is convince your father. He's the one who capped your magic and said you couldn't get I back until we both agree to never hurt each other with it."

"Bullshit.. He would never break the seal since it's he know me... I would kick your as soon as I would be able to", he sighed and then rolled his eyes. "And the worst thing is that he is right about it.."

Zydes rolled his eyes.
"Why would you kick my ass? I'm not the one who made us engaged. Why don't you kick your father's ass?" he questioned as a maid appeared announcing that the food was ready.

Not really seeing the maid he rised his eyebrows.. and then started to laugh really hard. He didn't really care who would hear that.. it was just really funny to think he would be able to kick his father's ass. Especially after he got him into this situation..

Zydes rolled his eyes and chuckled a bit in amusement before standing. He looked back at his betrothed.
"Let us eat." he said, motioning towards the dining room with an open hand.

"Don't be ridiculous.. Me kicking his ass? Seriously? The one that is called a fearless worrior and is feared by so many? A scholar type like me? And about the food, didn't you say it would take more than a half of hour for it to be made? Even five minutes didn't pass from that time..", he said, shaking his head.

Zydes rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Of course the meal isn't ready yet. That does not mean that put before salads are not. We will eat a bit of greens before you dig into to your meat." he said, walking to the dining room without the you get dragon.

Aque nodded his head in understanding. Right. It wasn't that much different from his home. Following other male his green eyes scanned other's body. It really was big and well trained. Although he took care of his as well.. it never would be so massive. He knew that all along. Sitting down he looked around once more. So this would be a place he would be living from now on? Shit.. If he would be just an egoist.. But he couldn't run away. Now when he knew that his family would suffer from it.

Zydes pulled out Aque's chair as the salads were brought out of the kitchen and set in front of them on the table.
"Don't eat too much. You won't be able to finish your meal if you eat all of your salad." he said to the dragon before sitting down.

Aque nodded. Yes, he knew that stuffing himself only with salads wasn't good. Sighing he looked at the other male.
"You know.. I'm still quite sad with everything that had happened", he said simply.

Zydes looked at Aque curiously.
"I can understand why....but why don't you tell me your reasons? Maybe telling me will help get rid of some of the sadness?" he suggested.

"Well.. another than the ones I already told you about.. hmm.. it isn't nice when someone chooses for you someone you should be spending all your life, don't you think?", asked Aque, putting some of the nearest salad on his plate.

Zydes nodded.
"Of course I think it's wrong. If it wasn't for the sake of your family, I wouldn't have agreed to this at all. I think that eventually, we will look forward to seeing each other each day, but we will need to adapt." he offered, digging into his salad.

"Well.. we can at least try. How annoying you are so admirable in all of it. It makes hard to hate you", chuckled Aque, taking a first bite a salad he had on his plate and then humming softly. "Nice one.. I like it~"

Zydes only chuckled a bit and continued to eat. He liked Aque's personality. It was refreshing and it kept him on his toes. He hoped that, eventually, his fiance would come to like him a bit also.

"Hm.. So you refrained from any retionships after you knew that you would need marry some brat one day.. but did you stop having sex as well?", asked Aque curiously, tilting his head a bit as his deeply green eyes observed the other dragon.

Zydes cleared his throat a bit in embarrssment.
"I have never had....sexual interaction with anyone else. I found out about the marriage when I was much younger tha the age of actually knowing what sex is. When my friends began dating, we slowly drifted apart because I always felt awkard around them."
