Lance swung one leg over Red's neck and slid off, standing in front of the cave, staring at it.

"Is this your home?" He asked. Red hummed and Limped inside. Lance followed swiftly.

"It's pretty lonely here though? Right?" Lance only got a groan in return as he saw Red trying to lay down.

"You'll need to rest for at least a week," Lance informed while looking around the cave. He found some sticks and rocks, gathering them into his arms. He placed them a few meters away from Red.

"Mind lighting it for me?"

Red trilled again and blew out a little spark of fire which ignited the flame. Lance felt warmer already. He sat down opposite of Red, close by the fire. Apparantly they had been flying for the whole afternoon and the sun was almost set.

Lance wrapped his arms around himself and yawned. He was still pretty tired, even though he took a nap already. The cold started to seep through his clothes again, and he shuddered.

He heard a trill again as he glanced up at Red, a magnificent beast he met 8 hours or less ago. He had its wing raised and stared expectantly at Lance. All he could do was stare at Red. He finally stood up and walked over to the reptile, trying to figure out what it wanted. He decided to just sit down beside Red.

Red moved his head behind Lance and started nudging him, Lance followed Red's lead until he was in between his front paws, one of them being the injured one.

Lance just sat there, unable to do anything. He was confused as for what Red was planning. Red rumbled and pushed Lance down onto his side, he unconsciously nestled his head onto the healthy leg and noticed the hay like structure beneath him, probably Red's nest.

Lance made himself comfortable but he still felt open and cold. Red noticed and laid his head over Lance like a blanket, but rested it on top of his own paws. Red then wrapped his tail around its own body and ontop of that he shielded them with his inner wing as much as he could. Lance felt enclosure but still slightly shilly as he reveived another shiver down his spine.

Red rumbled lowly again, the only difference was that this time it almost sounded like a purr, Lance noticed he rised fire in his throat again but instead of spewing it out, he kept it burning in his throat. Red's body heat up, and Lance calmed down. 

Lance felt warm and protected in the claws of a dragon. He trusted Red for some strange, weird, suicidal reason, but they've both proven that they are harmless to the other, or so Lance hoped. He missed his family slightly, but he feels this strange sensation now that he's with red. Something he has never really has felt before, something he had always wanted.

It almost felt like,

Home.

Lance woke up by someone tickling him, he laughed and turned onto his back, opening his eyes to be met by Red. He smiled and reached up to caress Red's jaw. The reptile laid his head on top of Lance's stomach and breath out some air into Lance's face.

The brown haired male laughed a breathy laugh and rested his hands on top of Red's nose. ''You gonna catch breakfast?'' Lance asked, and Red huffed. ''Together?'' Lance suggested and Red nudged Lance's face with his own.

''Stop, that tickles!'' Lance screamed pushing the cold-blooded reptile away from him. Lance got up and stretched out his body, his arms high up above him. Facing the sunrise, one he had been seeing for a while now, but it was just as beautiful as it was yesterday.
Lance put his arms down again after he yawned, and looked back to see Red staring at him with that look. It's a look Red has had for a few days now. They had bonded a lot over the past ten weeks. But who was counting anyway? The beginning was the hardest, testing unknown waters and obstacles. But Lance managed to make it work. They built up trust and a strong bond nobody could ever break,
