"Trying to escape little snake" said the dragon king. "Did you really think I would let you go that easily"
Tightening his hand on the robe beside heart little snake narrowed his eyes at the dragon.
"You..." He spoke through pain. "What have you d...
The Dragon King wrapped his arms around Little Snake, his chest pressing against Little Snake’s bare back. Little Snake’s long hair floated in the water as he leaned back, relaxing in the warm bath.
"Did the Demon King send people to Dragon Valley City?" Little Snake asked, gently rubbing the Dragon King's hand.
"Hmm" The Dragon King rested his chin on Little Snake’s shoulder. "He sent some of his best men. Let’s see if they bring any news"
Little Snake nodded, and the bathroom fell silent except for the sound of water moving. After a moment, the Dragon King spoke again.
"Since we have a few free days, let me teach you how to use the Cloud Light Sword" he said. "Once you learn the basics, you can practice on your own."
"Can I just start training with it?" Little Snake asked. "I’m not a Bingi Dragon yet"
"It doesn’t matter. You’re a Bingi descendant" the Dragon King replied. "And you activated the sword the moment you touched it. That’s rare, even for a Bingi descendant."
Little Snake turned slightly to look at the Dragon King, but his eyes landed on something new.
"Horns!" Little Snake said excitedly, turning fully to touch them. Water splashed as he moved.

The Dragon King chuckled. "Why are you acting like it’s your first time seeing them? You saw them last night"
"Yeah, but I didn’t get a chance to admire them" Little Snake said, running his fingers along the horns.
"Yeah... You were too busy admiring other things" the Dragon King said casually.
"You..." Little Snake’s face turned red. "Shameless" he muttered, quickly letting go of the horns.
The Dragon King laughed and leaned in, pressing a quick kiss on Little Snake’s cheek before pulling him closer. Little Snake’s hands hesitated, but they soon returned to the horns.
"I’m warning you" the Dragon King murmured against Little Snake’s neck, "don’t touch them too much. They’re sensitive."
Little Snake paused, then smirked. "Sensitive?" He rubbed his fingers along the base of the horns, watching as the Dragon King’s grip on him tightened.
"Little one" the Dragon King said in a low voice, "do you really want to test me right now?"
Little Snake’s smile widened. "Maybe"
The Dragon King suddenly lifted Little Snake out of the water, making him yelp in surprise. Holding him by the waist, he carried him to the edge of the bath and set him down.
"If you have this much energy" the Dragon King said, tilting Little Snake’s chin up, "we can do something else instead-"
"Oh no, my head feels dizzy" Little Snake interrupted, touching his forehead dramatically. "Let's go eat"
