Songs of War OneShots (Yaoi)

Tygren x Ingressus

It was cold in the Barrier Mountains. Tygren had just returned to the base from a long mission, and felt exhausted. He sighed softly as he let himself drop onto the makeshift bed made from animal fur that was placed on a bunch of hay. He was ready to just fall asleep and be done with the day, however, apparently their leader, and his lover, Ingressus, had different ideas, since he came in, shutting the door to Tygren's room and nuzzling up beside him.

Tygren smiled at that. "Hello to you too." He said in an amused tone. "Greetings, my love. How was your trip?" Ingressus asked him as he caressed the other gently. Tygren gave a soft sigh and cuddled up to the other for warmth. "It was exhausting...I feel like passing out." He admitted.

"Aww. But I thought we could catch up a little and have some fun?" Ingressus pouted. Tygren chuckled softly. "Love, I'm really tired. Can it wait until I rested up?" He asked and looked up at his lover with half lidded, tired eyes. Ingressus sighed and nodded, kissing the others forehead gently. "Alright love, but I'll stay with you to keep you warm."

Tygren nuzzled into the others shoulder and smiled. "Alright, dear." He mumbled and slowly drifted off to sleep. Ingressus smiled, holding him gently in his arms, letting him rest while he too dozed off after a little.

The next morning, they would both wake up, feeling a lot more awake. Ingressus had to admit that he too had been really tired the other night, yet had been so excited to see his lover again that he had completely forgotten about it.

Tygren looked up at him, rubbing his eyes a little. Ingressus' long, grey hair looked disheveled, though he was sure his own short, slightly darker grey hair looked no less messy. He gently combed through the others hair with his fingers, gently brushing over the crystals on the others bent back horns when he was done.

"You're so beautiful..." He whispered. Ingressus smiled. "No more than you, my love." Ingressus replied, returning the generous compliment. "You're the most beautiful Ardoni male I know, Ingressus." Tygren said. That made the Clan-master blush slightly. "You flatter me." He mumbled.

"Oh but it's the truth, my beautiful." Tygren said an nuzzled the others neck. "Your soft hair, your beautiful orange colored markings, your voice, your personality, everything about you is so...perfect. So irresistible."

Ingressus smiled, feeling his heart warm up at the others words. "You're too sweet for your own good, my beloved Tygren." He said and kissed him gently, a gesture which the other male gladly returned.

They made out for a while before Ingressus gently pulled away. "So, about what I said last night, I wanna catch up and have some fun. Would you join me for a little walk through the forest and maybe make some tea with me for everyone when we get back?"

"Is that a date?" Tygren asked with a smile. "I suppose it is?" Ingressus said and rubbed the back of his head. Tygren chuckled. "Of course I'll join you, Ingressus. I'm honored." Ingressus gave the other a smile. "Oh no dear, I'm honored to have you join me. There's nothing I'd enjoy more than to have you by my side."

Tygren smiled back at him. "You are too kind to me." He said, leaning in to press another kiss to the others lips. Ingressus really meant the world to him. It was obvious how much he cared for the relatively young clan leader.

Yes, of course, technically Ingressus was probably about 180-200 years old, but due to him using a time portal, he still had the physical appearance he had 154 years ago. It was really impressive that technically, Ingressus could become older than any Ardoni before him time-wise, if he was not killed beforehand, which Tygren hoped would not happen.

They both got up after Ingressus had snapped Tygren out of his thoughts with a gentle kiss. On their way out, they passed Lucidius, who was sitting all by himself on a windowsill. They greeted him kindly, which the other returned. However, Tygren knew the other was still mourning the death of his closest companion, Zinaida.

Ingressus was completely oblivious of this fact, but only because he hadn't known Zinaida, since the other had been born after the end of the Great War and the last battle on the peak of Mount Velgrin. Tygren hoped Lucidius would be okay, knowing how much Zinaida had meant to him.

After a few minutes, they excited the keep and went down the trail to the forest. They went to a small river, that was partially frozen over at the shores, giving it some sort of surreal look, like something from a painting. Tygren and Ingressus walked along the river in the direction of the stream for a while, talking about what they had been doing during each other's absence.

Tygren told Ingressus how he had found out where one of the Prime Songs was, and his plan on how to retrieve it. It was clear that Ingressus liked those news, and he let Tygren know that too by petting his back gently. Tygren smiled a bit at the gesture. It gave him a sense of pride. He leaned in to kiss Ingressus softly.

Ingressus kissed back, closing his eyes as he gently pressed their bodies together and running his one hand through Tygren's short hair while the other rested on the others shoulder. Tygren had one hand on the back of Ingressus' neck to keep him close while the other rested on the other male's hip, his eyes closed as well as they made out. It was a beautiful, peaceful moment. And if it hadn't been for the cold, they could have stayed like this forever...
