Lonely Existance(Pheonix/Cleon)

[Pheonix Arashi]

"Nu-uh," he protested, yawning again and let Cleon lead them out of the mall. "On second thought...that would be really nice," he smiled at how slurred his words seemed to be. And he really wanted to stay awake all day for Cleon. Frowning to himself once they were outside he looked around, trying to get his bearings.

"This way," he started forward, unwilling to come out of Cleons embrace, rather comfortable. The meadow was just outside of town, not a long way to walk ad they were climbing up a hill before they knew it, lugging shopping bags to the very top. The sun seemed to poke out from behind the clouds as they crested the hill and Pheonix let out a relieved breath. The winter grasses were shifting slightly in the breeze and the dirt was a bit warm, leading out to the calm ocean. "Perfect place to nap," he smiled at his mate and led him down the otherside of the hill, looking for a good place to settle down.

[Cleon]

When they found a comfortable spot, Cleon just stood there and took in his surroundings. "It is so beautiful...," he murmured. He placed the bags on a semi-dry spot on the ground. He kissed Pheonix's cheek. "After our rest, we should go swimming," he suggested, a hint of excitement in his voice. The fact that the water was probably cold didn't occur to him, because it usually didn't bother him. But it would probably bother the human. "I bet the water is wonderful here."

[Pheonix Arashi]

"Sounds good," he smiled and plopped down on the dry earth, laying his head on his folded arms as he lay back. Of course, he was too tired to remember the temperature of the water, let alone care. It would be nice to take a swim with his mate. Letting out a sigh he closed his eyes, relaxing his body as he started dozing, feeling completely protected with Cleon watching over him.

[Cleon]

Cleon smiled down at his sleeping mate contently. He was really happy that Pheonix wanted to go swimming with him. It would be so fun! If only he could have transformed into his Dragonis' form.... Oh well, they had the rest of their lives for that.

He sat next to his mate and started stroking his hair gently. He wasn't very tired himself, so sitting there was good enough. Watching the water, and his beautiful mate.

[Pheonix Arashi]

Again, his sleep, however breif it was, was dreamless, a black void of content. He awoke to soft stroking of his hair, his eyes heavy with sleep, body relaxed into the dirt and grass. He didn't think he had slept that long at all, but he was no longer tired...well maybe a little. Slowly he moved, sitting up, threading his fingers through Cleons shyly, yawning at him before smiling. The grass had made tiny imprints on his arms and he rubbed at them subconciously. Not much time had gone by-if he was reading the sun right, and he could vividly remember agreeing to a swim.

"How about that swim now," he asked, stroking the back of Cleons hand, entranced with the pattern of the skin.

[Cleon]

A shiver ran down Cleon's spine when Pheonix stroked his hand. If anyone else touched him like that it wouldn't have been the same; he knew it. He leaned over to kiss his mate's cheek. "Sure," he said softly. Then he grinned. "Oh, yes! Let's go!" he said excitedly.

He stood up and quickly removed his robes- he had shorts underneath because if he didn't this would be awkward. "Come on, take off your clothes. This will be so much fun! I have never swam in an Earth ocean before," he admitted.

[Pheonix Arashi]

Pheonix blushed and shivered, unable to take his eyes from Cleon. He couldn't help it...he looked 'Hot...' He flushed at his thoughts, aware of how much he would be lacking compared to his mate. After a minute he stumbled to his feet, brushing dirt off his pants. "I...uh...o..okay," self conciously he pulled off his shirt, folding it neatly, before slipping his pants off. He was wearing boxers and picked at the hems, eyes scruitinizing the ground, before he met Cleons eyes, smiling softly, uncertainly.

[Cleon]

Cleon smiled at Pheonix. "You are... beautiful," he murmured. He traced the other boy's jawline. "And do not forget it," he added. He kissed his mate lightly.

"Now, let's go swimming," he smiled and grabbed his mate's hand. He pulled him over to the water's edge. The water was a little chilly, but he knew he would get used to it soon. "The water's nice," he commented.

[Pheonix Arashi]

Pheonix sighed into the kiss, reveling in the comment, still a little self concious. He allowed Cleon to pull him over, glancing down at the deep blue water lapping against the shore. "The water's nice," he heard Cleon and waded in so the water washed over his ankles. It was cold, making him shiver but it wasn't all that bad. He waded in more, up to his waist, his collarbone, then finally dived under the surface, coming up dripping with salt water. "Oh...that's cold," he turned and grinned shakily at Cleon.

[Cleon]

Cleon waded over to him. "Really?" he asked. "I have an idea," he smiled. He wrapped his arms around Pheonix tightly. "I'll warm you up!"

(Gah! I couldn't think of something good, sorry! >.<)

[Pheonix Arashi]

He blushed, trying to find a place to rest his hands-which were conveniently caught between them- before resting them on Cleon's shoulders, holding his body even closer against his mate. He swore his face matched his hair and tried to hide it by glancing at the scant inch of sea water between them. "I...t..thank you," he smiled shyly, delighted in the touch of Cleons water slicked skin against his, "i'm very warm now," he admitted, glancing fully up at him.

((No need to apologize ^w^ Sometimes I can't think of anything either. It's fine ^___~))

[Cleon]

Cleon kissed his mate softly. "Good," he murmured. He looked around quickly, then smiled slyly. "Do you want to see something cool?" he asked.

He pulled away slightly, and brought his hands under the water. When he brought them back up he blew lightly on the water there. Little droplets of water swirled around Pheonix's arms then snaked up to wrap around his neck. After a moment the water fell back into the ocean. Cleon smiled. "It took me a while to learn how to do that," he admitted.

[Pheonix Arashi]

If your eyes were already practically bulging out of your head, could they get any wider? Pheonix wasn't sure, but he was sure he had just witnessed some sort of magical phenomenon. Watching the tiny beads of salt water practically dance across his skin had been amazing.

"T..that was awesome," he laughed in delight and touched where the water had been, licking his salty lips. "No matter how long it took you...exactly how did you do it," he asked, eyes glistening in awe, bringing his own hands up to glance at the droplets of water.

[Cleon]

"Well... I'm a Water Dragonis'. I can control water. Not as much as some, but I still can," Cleon explained. "I have a little bit of Fire Breather in me, just not enough to be able to do anything. My brother Cad is half 'n half, it's pretty cool. But the rest of us are either more of one or the other."

He smiled at Pheonix and nuzzled his neck a quick moment. "The Chieftains at the villages can control their elements perfectly. It is amazing," he said softly. "Now, let's go swim!" he grinned. He pulled away so he could dive under the water and swim, not too far away from his mate though.

[Pheonix Arashi]

Pheonix absorbed the information like a sponge. He found himself vaguely wondering how people as amazing as that would find him so intersesting but banished it. If Cleon said they would, he would take his word for it. Diving under the water himself he skimmed his fingers over the seashell covered bottom, shivering lightly as he surfaced for air, treading water to rub his eyes. He didn't particularly feel cold anymore, and after he did a few laps he was toasty, waiting until Cleon got close again to splash him. He let out a laugh that carried over the water, eyes glistening with happiness.
