NAME: Zydes (Zy-deez) Noss

AGE: 204 - appears 27

HEIGHT: 6'6

HAIR: Cherry Wood Brown, though red in some lights

EYES: Silvery-Blue, though red when training, angered or in battle

PERSONALITY: Zydes is very intimidating and doesn't talk much to people he deems unworthy of his time. He has a kind heart, but he only shows it to those he cares deeply about. He's a bit of a softy under his muscular interior and quite lazy whenever he has nothing to do.
Though he finds himself above some people in social standing, he doesn't look down on anybody and treats everyone with equal respect. He's also a devious trickster who can easily persuade people to do anything he wants.

NAME: Bashiraque (Aque) de Riosseri

AGE: 100

HEIGHT: 174 cm

HAIR: White

EYES: Green (as well as his tail)

PERSONALITY: Aque is a dragon in search of wisdom, he is very observant and can gather his information objectively. He is curious one but also can be quite.. unpleasant when angered or scared. Being a dragon of air element he can be quite changeable thus he can be a real pain in the ass.

Zydes was currently waiting in the drawing room of his inherited family estate among the tall mountains of the land the dragons and dragon-kin claimed. He himself was dragon-kin. Scaly patches of skin and abnormally bright eyes gave away his race clearly. Though, his wild earth-toned hair gave away his specialized element; Earth.
He had come from a long line of dragon-kin and, of course, some actual dragons. He was very high up in social status, his family name being one of the largest and longest. He didn't care for titles, though.

That was why he was in the drawing room. His wealth and power brought him many suitors and opportunities, most of which were proposals of marriage into his family. He had agreed to none because he was already taken. His parents had agreed for a family to marry off their first born to him whether it be male or female.
Zydes didn't mind at all. It gave him an excuse to push away all of the women he so hated in his life. He had known this since he was old enough to understand what a marriage contract was.

The man sighed as he waited for his soon-to-be husband to arrive. He was feeling quite nervous because he had never met the lad before and didn't know what he would be like. as he gulped down the rest of his small drink, he vowed that he would do everything in his power to make things worse so as to not disgrace either family by splitting up.

Aque on the other hand was quite angry. He only recently was let to know that he would be soon married. And to the man! He got angry and made quite a fuss, even trying to run away from his home. It didn't take long for him to be catched and brought back. Things were became even worse since his powers were sealed to make sure he wouldn't run off. Now, growling under his breath in a way that only dragons could, he entered the estate of his future husband. All of a sudden he kicked one of the guards and started to run. No way he would be delivered to someone like some.. thing! Aque heard their yells and knew he needed to do something or he would be captured once again. Not seeing another way he opened the doors to some room and hid there.

Zydes had heard all of the commotion and decided to investigate. A guard hurriedly told him about what the young dragon had done.
He couldn't help but feel bad for the kid. All of this being forced on him so suddenly and with no one there to support him would cause anyone to become overwhelmed.
He called off the guards and used his abilities as dragon-kin to search for the dragon's signature. He chuckled when he spotted the dragon in his room, supposedly hiding.
He opened the door and closed it behind him, pretending like he didn't know that his fiancé was there.

Aque flinched when someone entered the room. Or more like jumped. His hiding spot was behind the armchair in the corner. His pointed ears twitched as he tried to 'see' if he was found out. Though when nothing happened his heart, beating widely, started to calm down. Not sure what to do now he tried to figure it out. It would be really hard to escape with his powers sealed by the senior of his line, his father.

The older man sighed and sat on his bed.
"You know, if you come out from hiding, we could talk about unsealing your powers." he said softly, his tone neutral. He moved some pillows to the floor and put them in a pile. He grew up learning about dragons and actually worked at the healing hospital in the village specifically for dragons. This is why he put the pillows on the floor. He knew that dragons liked to make nests and he hoped Aque would feel comfortable enough to come out and talk to him.

The young dragon jumped once again when he heard that voice. Did he got himself in the worst place he could? Room of his future husband? Who else would know about his powers being sealed. Not thinking much he run to the doors, wanting to escape once more. If Zydes wanted to talk to him he would need first to catch him. And that wouldn't be hard since with his powers sealed he was only a bit faster than a human. When Aque run of his hiding spot Zydes could see he was much smaller than him. His white, long hair matched perfectly his pale skin and pretty face. Though his body was lean it had still nicely developed muscles. Nothing near what Zydes had but still it was really nice. While horns, claws and fur on the tip of his tail looked really nice to the deep green of his eyes and scales on the tail.

Zydes sighed as his future 'bride' made a run for it. He didn't want to use his strength against the boy, thinking it would frighten him, but now he had to.
"Stop!" he growled lowly, eyes slowly swirling with red. He had locked the door so no one would come in....or out.
"You will cease this dramatic tantrum and approach me like the proper young man you were raised to be." Zydes stood from the bed and stared down at the small but radiant creature who was trying to escape.

Bashiraque tensed up when the doors didn't budge when he pushed them. Hearing the growl behind his back he flinched a bit and then blushed in anger when he heard what was said next. Turning around he saw his future husband for the first time. The first thought was that he was really big.. and quite handsome. And intimidating. Though it didn't stop him even one bit from answering the tall dragon.
"To hell with all that. I won't marry someone only because someone decided it should be so", he said, growling as well.
Aque's voice was really melodic, even for an air dragon.

Zydes smirked a bit. So his little fiancé really was very young. It was obvious he was not thinking before he said such spiteful words.
The man walked forward and leaned down so he was just a little taller than Aque. If the dragon wanted to act like a small child, he would treat him as on.
"Your parents gave me your hand in marriage because they were not safe. Your family was bankrupt when you were born, hardly had enough to keep a roof over your head and food on the table. This arrangement has saved your family and brought them back to the greatness it once was. If you refuse this, you parents will fall back into poverty and you will be penniless!" he growled louder, the sound shaking the room hardhly.

Aque couldn't help but cringe a bit when he was approached by the big male. None the less he managed to glare at Zydes with his green, breath taking eyes. Was other male telling the truth? They did that for them..? Aque had two, year younger sisters, twins and one much younger brother so if he refused.. they would lose everything..? So many people lifes depended on him? Now Bashiraque remembered that his mother tried to tell him something.. but he was just too angry to listen. Though on the other hand... Dragons marriages were really something serious.. It couldn't be taken lightly.
"That's not fair..", muttered Aque, looking down on the floor as his arms slumped a bit.
Now he was even more trapped than before, this time with his knowledge.

"Listen... I don't want to marry you because...I don't want your life to be changed because of me. I want you to have fun and learn and meet people, not be tied to my side and have no choice. So, if you would calm down and talk with me, we could establish some rules and such and get to know each other." Zydes said, calming down a bit so Aque wouldn't be intimidated.
"Please make yourself comfortable and tell me if you need anything." he added more as a soft order than a request, sitting back down on his bed.

Aque's ears twitched when he heard the other male and looked at him. He was already sitting on his bed so was a bit less intimidating. Relaxing a bit the air dragon was able to think a bit clearer. Sighing softly he looked around the room but it was just a simple bedroom with few books laying on the nightstand. Few quite interesting titles. Confused with 'make yourself comfortable' he stayed where he was, the tip of his tail showing he was still quite nervous.

Zydes took this time to observe the petite dragon in front of him. Aque really was quite beautiful, small and lovely with large, pretty eyes and soft looking skin and hair.
"Now that we have your running away taken care of, I believe we should go over what this relationship will produce.... First off, you will be considered my consort and as you are below me in social status, you will take on the part of submissive party. As such, you will not be required to attend meetings of the counsel or do any counsel work."

Bashiraque listened to what was said and then sighed. Yes.. he would be like a small leech. Not doing any normal work. With his eyes glued to the floor he just nodded, deciding it was better to shut up. Maybe he would be able to read at least since he liked to know various things. Especially about humans and their rules. But now.. his knowledge would be useless.. He wanted to get into group of dragons taking care of that. They were elite so it was almost impossible to do that.. yet with his father social standing he had a big chance.. and now it was wasted. From anger and being scared Aque fell into depression. His ears lowered and his tail was laying on the floor without move.

Zydes saw the fiery passion leave Aque's body and frowned.
"That does not mean you will have to stay locked in a tower like some damsel in distress. I will not have my consort looked upon as some young maiden to idiotic to care for herself. You may do whatever you would like as long as you tell me when you leave the castle. The only time you will need to be 'glued' to my side is when we attend counsel parties." he explained.
Then he cleared his throat and sat a bit taller.
"You must be warned, though. I do not take orders from you and I expect you to do as I say, especially when it is for your safety. I don't want you taking orders from anyone but me. I will not take advantage of you and anything we do to...further our relationship will be with your permission. You will always be under me."

So be like a dog.. or air lizard. Good boy. Aque just nodded his head wanting for everything to end so he could hide somewhere and letting his emotions out. Never no one asked him what he wanted.. and now he knew why. He did things his own way anyway but this time.. he couldn't. His desires.. didn't matter. Even if he hated his parents he understood their decision. It was something that needed to be done. Probably..
"Is..", he started and paused when he heard how shaky his voice was.
Clearing throat he made sure to calm down before continueing. There was no way he would show his emotions to other male any more than he already did.
"Is that everything? May I go now?", he asked, his eyes still on the floor.

Zydes heard the shakiness of the young dragon's voice and sighed softly. He knew Aque would need time, just as he had when he was told.
"You may leave. Your room is down next door to the right. There is a bathroom fully stocked with everything you shall need. If you find you do need something, just write it down. At the end of the day, you may give your list to me and I will assure that everything is in order by tomorrow." he said in a neutral tone, not showing that he had noticed how emotional Aque was.

Aque waited for Zydes to open the lock and then rushed to his room, trying not to look at anyone.

The next few hours were consisting of all emotional crap there could be. Crying, fits of anger, depression. Aque didn't care who heard his growls and roars. After it ended his room looked like a small tornado would go through it. The sheets were in shreds and feathers from pillows were everywhere. After all that Aque fell asleep at last. Hidden under a bed and surrounded by all the soft mess he felt safe enough. His hair, his outfit.. everything was in chaos. Even his pale skin was now dirty with a bit of his blood. Though still he looked quite adorable.

Zydes let Aque out and then left him alone. He told his guards and staff not to bother their new master or go near his room for the next few hours.
The dragon healer went to his office to do some counsel work, keeping himself distracted long enough for Aque to get everything out and calm down.

Soon, he went to check on the young dragon, opening the door softly and looking around. The maids would certainly have to come in and replace some things, but he was okay with that. He had done much more damage in his own youth when he heard about his unwanted engagement.
He looked for his bride-to-be and sighed when he found him under the bed, covered a bit in blood that was obviously his. He slid under the bed and arranged the dragon in his arms, careful not to wake him, and slid back out.
The dragon-kin walked into his own room again and arranged a sort of nest on his bed before laying Aque down in it so he could sleep better. After he was done, he silently left the room, leaving the door open just in case and told the maids to repair the damage done to Aque's bedroom.

Strangely enough the young dragon didn't woke up when he was lifted from under the bed and carried to other male's room. When he was put into the 'nest' he nuzzled deeper into it. His tail was wrapped around him as hour after hour passed and he was still sleeping. It was hard to believe that he was the one that destroyed so many things before.

Zydes sat on the bed, not wanting the young dragon to wake up alone. He couldn't help but admire the fragile creature as he rested contently on his bed.
He knew that loving Aque wouldn't be a problem. Having the beautiful boy on his arm would be an honor and he would enjoy it greatly.
"Your children would be beautiful." he whispered to the sleeping dragon. He felt the need to hold the small body, make sure he was happy and protected. The man had no doubt that Aque would fight their marriage, but he would keep his vow to do everything in his power to make it work.

Bashiraque was slowly waking up. First he yawned and turned on his back, purring a bit at how soft was what he was laying on. Rubbing his eyes and stretching some more he slowly opened his eyes. Then the green spaces rested on Zydes sitting next to him. First he looked preplexed but after few longer moments he realised what probably happened. Sitting up he moved away from Zydes, some of the feathers tangle in his hair falling off.
"W-why am I here?", he asked, quite stressed.

Zydes noticed Aque waking up, but said nothing, wanting to let the dragon wake on his own. When the young man began freaking out, he reached out and took hold of his shoulders firmly so he wouldn't fall out of his 'nest' and off the bed.
"You destroyed your room. I didn't want you sleeping on the floor so I brought you in here so you could sleep comfortably. They should be done fixing everything in about an hour." he said, eyes softly glowing. He didn't want the dragon going anywhere, especially now that he was so vulnerable. Someone could easily take advantage of his adorable bride.
"Please stay calm, I will not hurt you."

He didn't even have enough time to cringe when his arms was grabbed. Older dragon was really fast.. especially with Aque's dragon powers sealed so perfectly. His ears lowered and he blushed, a bit ashamed that other male saw him in such state. Then his tail smacked Zydes' hands away and the white haired male hid his face in the sheets and covered his face with a pillow. How disgraceful was all this situation..

Zydes sighed and let out a frustrated growl. It was deep and warned others to stay away from his room.
"You are my consort and as such, you will look me in the eyes when I speak to you! I am done with you running and hiding. You must face what is to come and trust that I will provide everything you need, even a simple shoulder to cry on. Do not disgrace your family by pushing me away and -in turn- creating problems within our marriage. I will not judge you, now talk to me like a normal adult!" he ordered, eyes red yet again. He had had enough of such foolish and childish behavior. Of course, he thought it cute, but he wanted the dragon to talk to him. To trust him.

"Can't you just let me get it out of my system? Go away.. and then I'll act like the damn adult you want", growled Aque, a bit startled with the growl from before but not removing the pillow. "And stop ordering me around! I'm not your slave, damn it!"

"You are not my slave, but you are acting like an ignorant child! I have let you have enough time to yourself and I will let you have more after we are done talking. I assure you that our marriage will not be built on me ordering you around, but you need direction and I am giving it." Zydes hissed before taking a deep breath to calm himself.
"If you would please sit up and show your face, I promise I will talk to you in a respectable tone. We will not talk long and when we are done, I shall leave you alone for the rest of the night."

Aque sighed, knowing Zydes was right. He didn't act like he should.. but on the other hand air dragons tended to have problems with their emotions. Sitting up he glared at other male with a pout on his face. Sighing he rubbed his neck and waited for other male to speak up.

Zydes had to hold back a chuckle at Aque's pout. It was adorable and he found himself enjoying it very much.
"Now, I have said what I have needed to say... Please tell me what is on your mind and any questions that you may have. I will do my best to answer them."

"I don't want to tell what's on my mind. Why should I? I have a role to play and to make sure I'll play it good. Isn't it the only thing I'm needed for? So who cares what I am feeling", muttered Aque, shrugging.
Or what it destroyed for me, he added in his thoughts.

Zydes scooted a little closer before leaning back on the pillows and closing his eyes.
"I care. A lot, actually. When I was younger, I avoided anyone who wanted to be my friend because I knew that one of them just might want to date me. I didn't want to crush their heart or mine by getting involved and then having to marry you. I hated my parents for signing us up for this. I felt so bad for the person I was going to marry because they had absolutely no choice. I could walk away from the marriage and be perfectly fine, but if the other person walked away, their family would be destitute. I used to cry at night when I would think about going into a loveless marriage because it wasn't fair... But I had to stop when I realized that neither of us would want this. It's just how it is. Back then, I vowed I would do everything right to make sure things worked..."

Aque tensed up when other male got closer.. but then got too interested with what he heard. Tilting his head a bit he rubbed his neck. At least he had one or two friends.. and few girlfriends... He couldn't imagine how it would be to know all along that.. Lowering his ears he looked on the sheets, remembering how he behaved ealier. Like he would be the only part hurt by that decision.
"I'm sorry to hear that..", he muttered. "It must be lonely.."

Zydes chuckled.
"Yeah, I guess. I usually distract my self with healing, though. I work ta the hospital. My element is Earth so I know a lot of healing herbs and such. Not many Earth elementals work at the hospital. Most of them are Water and Air. They're much more calm then Earth and Fire." he said with a small smiled.
"I always dreamed my fiancé would be lovely and come to love me and I them. The first part is already taken care of."

Aque was about to say something but then heard the last part said and blushed up to his ears. He was.. lovely? Sure he knew he was quite good looking thanks to his partners and all... but lovely? That was the first time he heard about it. Though it was the first time he was supposed to be with a man.
"W-well.. that a good wish..", he muttered under his breath and then cleared his throat. "And about Air being calm... I wouldn't say about myself that.. And from what I know Air can be pretty emotional.."

Zydes chuckled again and opened his eyes.
"Compared to Fire, you are as calm as a small pond. The emotion helps to connect with the patients. You should come with me some time, visit the young kids who's parents are getting treated."

"I don't know any fire dragon so far... Are they really so... impetous?", he asked curiously, looking at Zydes questioningly.
Now that Aque calmed down his tail came to life, it's furry tip swishing while his ears twitched. Now his green eyes had those nice sparkles of excitement in them and it made him look way better than before. Yet the feathers in his hair have it all quite funny edge.

Zydes shrugged.
"They can be -pardon the pun- hot-headed at time. They're very honest, though. They don't care to sugar-coat anything." he said before standing and getting a hand mirror, bringing it to the dragon.
"Here. See with your own eyes just how lovely you are."

Too surprised to do anything else he took the mirror from other male and looked at his reflection in it. He blinked in surprise when he saw all those feathers and his dirtied face.
"Great", he muttered, reaching to his hair and trying to get it a bit more tidy.
Normally it wouldn't be a problem since he was able to change with his magic the lenght of his hair or claws at will.. as well as make his horns disappear if they irritated him. Though.. now he couldn't. He hissed when his claws scratched the skin of his hand and started to suck on the blood, obviously irritated.
