The moment Josh saw Akira nod his head, the older male got himself comfortable and took a deep breath, his arm comfortably around his boyfriend as his eyes paid close attention to the book in his hand.
"So, after the dragon had left, and the young boy wondered what had happened to the large beast, he decided to sneak up towards the mountains in an attempt to find it. Grabbing what he thought he would need, he waited for nightfall to approach before leaving his village with a lantern in hand and his pack resting along his back."

Josh flipped the page, his fingers running along Akira's arm as he continued. "The air was cold and the mask of night made it difficult for the boy to see, even with his flickering lantern in his hand it was difficult to make out more than a foot in front of him. With heavy steps the young man went forward, stopping after an hour of walking when he notices a trail of blood leading up the mountain. Worrying that it may be from the dragon, the boy moved faster until he came across a few chipped scales, the colour reflecting and shimmering the flame of his lantern. It was the same colour as the large animal he had seen before." Josh paused for a second and licked his lips as he read on, his voice soft the entire time.
"It took a few more gruelling hours until he managed to reach a large cave, the night was growing colder and the clothes he wore weren't protecting him from air around him. So he decided to go into the cave and rest for a moment, but what he didn't know is that something lived within that cave."

Josh glanced at Akira, smiling lightly as he began to turn the page once more, seeing the interest within his counterparts eyes and finding himself so enthralled at his fascination.
