Sand and Sea (drabble)

For maderr, for that obscure scenes & stuff meme.

Deyllgo and his now-dead lover, from the Dragon Isles.

---

"You're slow!" Lhiannan called out, laughing into the wind as he raced down the beach, his long violet hair whipping back and forth behind him. "If I beat you back to the castle, you have to bring me cherries from the southern isles!"

There was a low growl somewhere behind him, and he put on a fresh burst of speed rather than let his lover catch up with him. Absolutely the most magnificent thing in the air, Deyllgo was always a little more uncertain on two legs. Lhiannan had always privately surmised that Deyllgo relied far too heavily on his status as the largest dragon alive. What if there came a day when size wouldn't do him any good?

Therefore, Lhiannan was doing his absolute best to force Deyllgo into situations where his greater size would do him little good.

And if it netted him sweet cherries as a result, well, that was just a bonus.

The wind flung the spray of the sea up into his face; he could taste salt on his lips. It was a fine day to be alive. Every day was a Good Day to be alive.

He twisted to look over his shoulder, see where Deyllgo was now, yelping to see a whole lot of black all of a sudden. A hard shove sent him tumbling over into the sand and surf, something large and heavy following him down. Lhiannan flicked sopping wet hair out of his eyes and scowled fondly up at Deyllgo.

"That... was cheating."

Deyllgo smirked, looking entirely too Pleased with himself. "You did not say I could not transform, only that I could not fly," he pointed out, apparently quite content to remain sitting on Lhiannan where the sand met the sea.

Lhiannan rolled his eyes. "I'll remember to stipulate that one next time," he grumbled cheerfully, reaching up to wrap one hand around his lover's neck and yank him down for a hard kiss.

Of course, Deyllgo being Deyllgo, it was extremely unlikely that it was just going to stay a kiss, but Lhiannan didn't mind. Deyllgo had caught him, after all, so he was completely entitled to take his reward wherever and however he pleased.

Though if Lhiannan wound up with seaweed in strange places again, he and Deyllgo were going to have a Few Words about the appropriate places for certain activities.

^_____^ Much love for you, hee hee. Poor poor Lhiannan and Dey. I sniffle at them.

I don't know whether to want to have more to read of Lhiannan. He's entirely adorable here with Deyllgo and being inside his mind makes him a very sympathetic character. When I didn't know him it opened the opportunity for Deyllgo to have a tragic past and a later love, but this story makes me mourn not knowing more of Lhiannan.
Oh, "if Lhiannan wound up with seaweed in strange places again", this made me smile and want alot more.

Oh man. What killed this lover?

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Humans. It was stated in the first half of Silver Dragon.

[mechante-fille.livejournal.com]

Very sweet. I like that Lhiannan was trying to challenge Deyllgo into being the best he could be.^^

Poor Lhiannan...

[graphitesmudges.livejournal.com]

Oh crap. NO don't bawl in the library. Again. Oh dammit. >.> Makes me feel bad that Lhiannan's gonna die. TT^TT But happy Deyllgo is a rather big change from snarly snappy Deyllgo.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Losing Lhiannan is what made Deyllgo turn all snarly. But he has Cion now so he's okay. ^_^

[graphitesmudges.livejournal.com]

Now he's a horny little shameless bastard. ^^ But that's why everyone luffs him.

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Pfft. He's always been that way. :) Or did you actually think they had clothes on in this drabble? Ha. Dragons don't do clothes. ;)

[graphitesmudges.livejournal.com]

XD I thought so too. But then again, it's a natural thing for them. >.> But to see it from Cion's point of view? Totally outrageous. And sex on the beach? Wooh. Multiple times? Crazy.

[marasmine.livejournal.com]

So Lhiannan was a purple dragon? And Deyllgo knew how to have fun before Cion... Very cute but I don't want to know more because it is too sad!

[tygati.livejournal.com]

Purple, yes. ^^; Well, light violet. :) And Deyllgo only really turned into the snarly grump we know today because of Lhiannan's death. :( Poor Dey...

[sporkess.livejournal.com]

Oh, pretty! I think most of the relevant comments have already been said, but this is a really lovely little piece. And with a line at the end that made me grin.

Much love.

I love how different Deyllgo's first lover is from his current lover.
I also like Lhiannan's life-embracing attitude, he seems so full of life and positivity. And yet, he still knows the dangers of the world. And I simply ADORE that he wants to make sure Deyllgo will be ready to face them, kinda protecting him on his own way :) Clever and playful little dragon... :D

[tygati.livejournal.com]

^_^ I liked Lhiannan. And yes, he's different enough that Cion doesn't remind Deyllgo of him, but he still had a role to play in shaping Deyllgo's heart. ^__^ Hee.
