Deathbringer's pov

After his mother's death, deathbringer forced himself to be numb..after all, feelings made assassinations harder, right? They'd cloud his judgment and his actions. Just like his mot- no mentor had always said.

..but whenever he was with glory, feelings and emotions..positive emotions, flowed in and he had no control over it.

He kinda liked it the first time..so he started letting them in. Letting his natural smile show.

But letting the positive feelings run free in his mind also brought out the old, suppressed, almost overwhelming negative thoughts and feelings of guilt, sadness and most of all anger.

Yet not wanting the dragon he loved, a queen no less, to worry, he decided to keep up a mask. The happy, goofy, confident, and charming version of himself.

Today he had to force himself more the usual to keep up the mask, and he slipped. Thinking for a moment to long and staring distantly with darkness in his eyes.

Glory pov

"Ahem...hello? Earth to Deathbringer?" The Rainwing, Nightwing Queen asked, waving a talon in front of her former assassin, now self-employed bodyguard.

She had just finished listening to about thirty Rainwings and Nightwings droned on about their problems, mostly about how the nightwings kept trying to eat their sloths from the Rainwings and how the Rainwings kept sneaking up on them accidentally or just appearing out of nowhere from the Nightwings.

And she was desperate to just leave the pavilion and go rest for suntime.

As she moved her talon up and down one last time, Deathbringer finally looked up.

"Ah- yes? Is there anything her majesty desires?" He perked back up, doing a mock low bow.

She simply scowled at him. "We've been here for a few hours and everyone's gone to Suntime or gone back to what they were doing so I'm heading back as well." She said, turning to the door.

Then, with a quick glace at the look on his face back she added
"Aand I'm assuming you want to be a pain in the tail and follow me."

"Always" he said with another bow, walking up to her.

She barely managed to not smile. With one swift jump, she threw herself into the air, using her wings and gliding for a bit.

. . . . . . . . .

After a short flight, she landed with a soft thud on her platform, Deathbringer landing nearly completely silently beside her, only crunching a few leaves that she was almost certain he did on purpose.

She sighed and clambered onto her leafy bed(idk is that what you'd call it?)and laid down, her wings outstretched and tail swaying slowly with the gentle wind.

She'd never admit it and she still hated how much she just wanted to stay like this all day, it felt amazing right here and right now..

But as if the universe just didn't want to give her anything fully nice, she kept feeling like something was missing...someone.

Not the time! Her mind scolded

BaCk tO dEaThbRingEr's pOv

After Gl- the Queen laid down, He sat down a few feet away, curling his tail around his front talons neatly.

His wings twitched, wanting to wrap around her protectively. But he stopped himself, obviously.

He was her bodyguard! And though he wanted to be...nothing more.

He let his mind wander a bit. And eventually, his thoughts landed back on his emotions and how he was going to (and is ) handling them..

Much too quickly, Suntime pasted and Queen Glory started waking up.

"Another few uneventful hours that you really don't need to spend creepily watching me sleep?" She said, getting up and stretching.

His signature smirk returned. "Well. I must admit you do look very beautiful when you do sleep. As always, but especially when your shinning in the sun."

A few bubbles of pink-rose, gold and yellow flashed across her scales, ruff and wings before she quickly turned them back to their original forest green.

But not before this bodyguard saw it all.

His smirk grew even wider as she tried to hide her blush by scoffing and turning away.

Sometimes he felt so genuinely happy in these moments, occasionally he would wonder if it was a dream.

"Whatever, we have to go." She said, spreading her wings, ready to take off.

Not as long as some of the others(only around 650 words) but hope ya liked it anyway lol
