Shadows of the heart (MxMxMxMxM)

Chapter 82: Sting?

Here we go :)

-------------------------------------------

I blinked a few times before Daxon cleared his throat, Pointedly looking away from Ian out of respect, Clearly unsure how to react too all of this.

Poor dude look's like he's dealing with emotional whiplash. . .

My sweet, Innocent boyfriend still hadn't noticed that the wet shirt he was wearing was nearly see through, Leaving little to the imagination.

As much as I liked seeing him like this, Daxon was clearly uncomfortable, So, I took pity on him.

''Uh, Sweetheart? Your shirt's kinda. . .'' I started, Slowly trailing off as he looked down, His face reddening.

He squeaked out something along the lines of 'Oh' before darting back into our bedroom, Clearly very embarrassed.

So cute. . .

Glancing over at Daxon, I noticed he had stuffed his hands in his pockets, Visibly uncomfortable

The uncomfortable feeling was starting to spread to me as well.

''Would you. . .Like to sit down?'' I questioned, Gesturing towards the couch as I spoke.

'Don't sound too confident now' Tene sarcastically chirped out at me, Earning himself a glare.

''Sure, Thank you'' Daxon murmured, Still clearly a bit flustered.

'We sure are throwing him for a loop today' Eige commented quietly, Slowly emerging from under the couch as both Daxon and I made our way over.

''I'm glad to see Ian is feeling better'' Daxon started, Trying to get over the awkward feeling between us and get a conversation going.

''That makes two of us, Hate seeing him in pain'' I responded, Sitting down beside him on the couch as I spoke.

Before we could fall quiet again, Cali launched himself off of the fan, Landing with a quiet 'Oof' on Daxon's lap, Startling both of us.

''Cali what are you doin-'' I started to demand before Daxon picked up my little dragon, Startling me at the phantom feeling of hands gently encircling around my waist.

The salt and pepper haired man looked confused when I jolted slightly, Seemingly out of no where.

''Are you alright?'' He questioned, Gently setting Cali down on the floor before turning to me, Reaching out to gently touch my face.

I blinked, Surprised by the care the much larger man was showing me.

''I'm fine. . .It's. . .Complicated. . .Anyways, Back to why I asked you over here'' I murmured back, Reaching up to gently remove his hands from my face.

He's sweet, But I'm not about to do anything even remotely romantic with him without talking it through with Ian first. . .

 Daxon sighed at that, Reaching his hand up to drag his hand through his hair.

''Why are you so dead set on having me attack you?'' He asked, Sounding drained.

This must have been a long day for him. . .

''It's to confirm a theory Ian and I have. . .If we're right. . .Then I won't get hurt at all'' I explained cryptically, Sitting up a bit straighter as I spoke.

He didn't seem so sure.

''But you've been hurt by my powers before. . .Why would you think you won't be hurt this time?'' He pressed, Having valid points.

My dragons moved to hide, Eige dragging Cali along behind them, Tene helping to hide Cali in a cabinet.

''That's the thing. . .Your powers hurt my dragons, They're technically not me. . .Even if I feel their pain, It's not direct harm to me. . .'' I explained as best I could, Not really understanding it, But going along with it anyways.

He looked a bit confused as well but eventually, He let out a sigh, Lowering his head in clear defeat.

''Fine, But if you loose so much as a drop of blood then I'm taking you to the hospital'' He muttered, Reaching out to gently grab my arm, Holding it away from my body right as Ian exited the bedroom, Dressed in a dry shirt and slightly less red faced.

He looked concerned, But moved out of the way, Watching with a mix of excitement and worry.

Daxon hesitated again before a ball of light started to form next to him.

It was bright enough to make my eyes burn, So, With a slow inhale, I closed my eyes, Bracing myself as I started to doubt all of this.

I'm about to get my arm burned off.

My arm got a bit warmer, But other than that. . .Nothing happened, No pain. . .No missing limb. . .

''Oh my. . .'' I heard Daxon murmur as an excited little gasp left Ian.

Slowly, I opened my eyes.

The ball of light was gone, And my arm was still attached.

''Looks like we were right flower'' I called back a tiny bit shakily as Ian moved to sit down beside me, Resting his head on my shoulder, Leaning his full weight on me.

It was rather comforting to me. . .

''I. . .Think I would greatly appreciate an explanation. . .If you two don't mind'' Daxon asked slowly after a moment, Still handling this shockingly well.

'Speaking of shock, I think he might be in it. . .Imma go get smelling salts from the first aid kit just incase he faints' Tene murmured, Popping out of the cabinet as he spoke.

'He's far too excited about this' Eige commented, Dragging an excited Cali out of the cabinet.

Cali was having a mini spasm with excitement, Unable to speak past his excited chirping.

''So. . .This is going to be a long story'' I started, Ian nodding slightly as Eige dragged a trembling Cali over to us.

--- Time skip ---

Daxon seemed to be taking our explanation. . .Pretty well.

He hadn't said a word for a while after both Ian and I had finished talking. . .But he wasn't freaking out so. . .That's good?

''Should we do what we did when we found out we were destined?'' Ian asked quietly, Clearly concerned over Daxon's reaction.

''Sweetheart, We took a shower together after we found out, I highly doubt Daxon will be wanting to get naked and shower with us'' I reminded him, Which made him flush bright red and a small choked sound leave Daxon.

''I'm sorry you two but. . .I need a moment to process all of this'' Daxon sighed out, Getting up as he spoke.

'He looks paler. . .' Cali commented as I escorted Daxon to the door.

''Well. . .You're welcome to come back if you decide you want to'' I awkwardly offered, Which earned me a warm but tired smile from him.

''I'll be sure to do that. . .Have a good night you two. . .And dragons'' He murmured before leaving.

Well. . .I think that might have gone well?
