Kai had been circling for a while, trying not to stare at Heathen. The red dragon stood glowing softly among drifting lights, all warm colors and quiet confidence. Kai’s wings fluttered nervously as she pretended to look anywhere but at her. “You know,” Heathen said without turning, “if you keep flying in circles, I’m going to think you’re following me.” Kai froze mid-air. “I...uh...no! I mean hi!” She landed awkwardly, cringing at herself. Heathen turned, her golden eyes calm and curious. “You were following me,” Heathen said, not unkindly. “…Yeah,” Kai admitted, ears flattening. “Sorry. I just… think you’re really pretty.” There was a small pause, and Kai braced for laughter. Instead, Heathen smiled. “Pretty, huh? That’s new.” Kai blinked. “How? You’re literally glowing.” Heathen let out a soft chuckle. “Most dragons say I look dangerous.” “Well, you do,” Kai said quickly, then winced. “But in a cool way! Not a bad way...I mean.” “You’re adorable,” Heathen interrupted gently. Kai peeked up, surprised. “I am?” “Mhm. And for the record…” Heathen stepped a little closer. “I noticed you first.” Kai’s heart skipped. “You did?” “Bright wings,” Heathen said. “Kind of hard to miss.” Kai laughed nervously, then relaxed just a little. “So,” Heathen said, her voice softer now, “are you going to keep hovering, or are you going to stay?” Kai hesitated but then moved closer, sitting beside her. “I’ll stay,” she said. Heathen’s smile warmed. “Good.”
