    Summary

    "Sorry for trespassin'," he says, illogically. "Just thought this might be a fine place to die. Figured I'd make a nice snack for you, at least." His voice slurs a little as he speaks. It's a pleasant voice, Qifrey thinks idly. Nice and raspy, almost like a beginning of a growl. The man is still watching him through a glaze. "Gods, but you're beautiful," he says, absurdly.

    Qifrey freezes in his descent. Watches the way the human wrinkles his nose as he seems to process his own words, then closes his eyes.

    "Why'd I say that," he asks.

    What's a dragon to do, when a dying man stumbles into his den and collapses against his hoard? Follow him home, marry him, and adopt a family, of course. Now, that's probably not right, but there's few willing or capable of correcting a dragon in something they've decided to do.

    Summary

    As the second prince of the Zen'in Empire, Megumi never really expected greatness from his life. He wasn't directly in line for the throne like his older brother — he wasn't expendable army-fodder like his younger brothers. Megumi always expected to marry high, stick to his ancient texts and occupy some important aristocratic position in the refined Zen'in court, where most of the pleasant smiles hid petty grudges and the prim nobles all watched for the slightest hints of weakness.

    What he didn't expect, though, was for his father, the Emperor Zen'in, to marry him to the warlike Itadori kingdom in a political alliance.

    He wanted to hate the new kingdom. The rough soldiers, the desert life, the way everyone seemed to just speak their mind bluntly rather than taking the time to be polite. He wanted to hate his fiancé, Itadori Yuji, the way he grinned all the time and laughed in a playful cadence. Princes were meant to act refined, and Yuji was everything Megumi disliked.

    But hatred is a pretty hard emotion to carry in the face of freedom.
