[Tian's eyes widen a little at that, but then he nods slightly. It made sense that he would see Souji's dream, since he had been instructed to give it to someone he trusted.]

I see. It was unusual.

[Remembering the harshness of his breath in the dream, Tian reached out and puts a hand on Souji's chest.]

Do you keep secrets from me?

[Tian spreads his fingers, taking in the tiny frame under Souji's clothing.]

...why?

Do you believe I only care about power? You are talented, Souji, and I know your strength.

I see.

[Cupping Souji's face, he pulls him a bit closer to kiss. It's oddly gentle, but ends with a fanged nip.]

I am a jealous, possessive creature. Even a dragon has flaws.

[His mouth tightens a bit and he doesn't seem happy about admitting that.]

I will not mention this again. But do not ever keep secrets from me, Souji.

Of course. That goes without saying, Souji. Otherwise you would never accepted to share my bed.

[He was too kind to risk such a thing if he thought it was contagious, right? Even if dragons probably couldn't catch human diseases.]

Good. I'm certain the medics here are quite talented.

[A smile? It is!]

...the voice was familiar.

[Frown.]

He was in your birth dream, too?!

[He's being upstaged here by your former lover. Annoying.]

Tch. I suppose that makes sense.

[He can live with that =D]

Thank you.
