Ne Zha x Ao Bing

A DATE?!? pt 3

Aobings POV

Some hours passed in the map and Nezha and I had a lot of fun, we crashed through waves, admired the view, cuddled and swam in the maps waters but... i wanted to see the sea, i wanted to feel the cold salty water against my skin..but Nezha could sense i was a little upset

''Hey whats the matter?'' he asked while holding me and pressed his forhead against mine

''Its just... i had a lot of fun here honestly..but this makes me miss the sea..''

''we could go for a swim if you want'' i perked up imediatelly and smiled at him

''really?? you want to?'' he smiled back at me and nodded, i quickly jumped up and hugged him tightly 

''Lets go then!!'' he said happily before picking me up bridal style and getting us back to the real world

after we reached the shore i began to stare at the water...i wanted to go but at the same time i was very nervous and i didnt know why...

''HEY AOBING'' i heard nezhas voice inthe distance, he was up in the air flying

''CANNON BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL'' he slpashed in the water, i giggled and quickly followed him diving into the shallow water elegantly

I felt the cold salty water against my skin once more..it felt good, i allowed my scales to appear and my tail to form, showing my dragon characteristics but then i felt a presence and turned around, it was nezha staring at me smiling

''What?'' i asked flustered

''Youre very beautiful do you know that?'' he said makind my face turn red

''S-stop it-'' i covered my face embarrassed but he quickly swam closer to me

''Nooooo let me see your pretty face'' he held my hands pulling them away from my face gently and pecked me on the lips

''Lets just go'' i said turning more red, i held his hand and we began running off into the water

we were playing for a few hours when we realised we were way WAY off the shore, we couldnt even see it and nezha was starting to get cold

''Lets go back Nezha, you look cold'' i said looking at my shivering boyfriend

''No no im fine!'' he said trying to play cool and swam furner from the shore but he found something weird

''Em Ao Bing...'' i gasped loudly...there was a giant crack on the ocean floor...but not any crack...this is where the dragons...and my father are trapped, we quickly heard someone coming up so i did the sensible thing, i grabbed nezhas hand and sped off for the shore, it was quite far...very far actually but i sped all the way back and jumped out of the water onto the sandy beach. we were both out of breath... i tried catching my breath while nezha was confused 

''Bing? what was that?'' i continued breathing heavily out of stress and speeding

''Emm...''i tried to speak

''...is that where the dragons are?'' he asked as calmly as possible

i could see Ao Bing wasnt well asfter seeing that, he probably remembered stuff that happened that day the lightning struck and how he betrayed his kind...i know this because he told me before how he feels. i took him inside the palace trying to get his mind off those thoughts but nothing worked. i cuddled him for almost an hour but he refused to say anything, he kept quiet and simply nuzzled into my chest.

''Ao Bing?? are you sure you dont want to talk about it?? i will bring your favourite food"

 he laid on his made bed over the sheets hugging a pillow trying to fight the tears when then my parents came in the room. i was rubbing Ao Bings back and they came closer 

''What happened? Are you two okay?'' my mom asked calmly and looked at my father worryingly, he looked back at her with the same look but didnt say anything

''Dear? whats wrong?'' she asked Ao Bing directly  sitting down on the bed with my father right behind her, she gently caressed Ao Bings head 

''Honey? do you need a hug?'' he slowly got up with watery eyes and plopped his head on my moms shoulder still trying not to cry out loud, you could see his shoulders shaking and the tears running down but he fought to stay quiet

".. It's okay to let it out" my mom tells him in a sweet voice but he doesn't budge, he bites his bottom lip to try and keep his mouth shut

"... He's been like this for a while" I say feeling awful that I couldn't make him feel better after all those years of friendship... I was afraid he'd want to go so desperately to see his father again. The only problem is... None of us have any idea what would happen if he went back, would his father and everyone accept him? Would they try to kill or banish him? I sighed, we didn't want to keep him away from his father if he really wanted to go... But it was most likely dangerous, and he knew that

"... Do you...want to go see him?" I ask in a concerned tone, it was hard for him not having his father around even though he wasn't... Really the best dad. My dad was always who he leaned on but... That wasn't enough for him and I understand why
He simply nods, he bit his lip so hard it was beginning to bleed gold blood, my mom hugged him and held him close encouraging him to let it out.

I didn't get a wink of sleep, even that night, laying in my bed motionless for many hours. I stood up in the middle of the night and walked to Ne Zha's room, there were some guards out that night but I didn't care at that moment, besides they didn't mind-

"Hey!" I heard a voice behind me and a hand was out on my shoulder scaring the crap out of me, I turned around ready to fight but it was just a guard

"... Oh" I said realizing there was no danger and stood naturally

"What are you doing dragon?" He said in a nasty tone, his words echoing in my brain, just like the day the lightning struck... When all eyes we're on me judging me, I stood my ground and didn't let him degrade me, I looked at him with a serious expression

"Do not speak to me that way" I said sternly

"Don't sneak around then" he said getting in my face

"I wasn't" I reply and begin to walk away

"Tsk, dragons always up to no good, getting into trouble always" he continued, I wanted to push him into the wall with my magic but that would only prove his point in his head and I didn't want to wake everyone and cause a ruckus...

"Mind your business" I said with a serious expression, only letting a small amount of anger show, I continued walking towards Ne Zha's room, the guards had noticed me so there was no point in hiding

"Stop sneaking around... And I might mind my business" he said almost hissing at me, his words spilling with venom. I grit my teeth but again I didn't want to cause trouble, I walked to Ne Zha's door and he opened it before I could even knock
"You okay?" He asked concerned, I look at him shocked

"I wasn't sleeping and heard talking outside, you alright?" He asked tilting his head, I looked down

"Sleepless night?" I nod again

"This dragon has been sneaking around" the guard says again, coming behind me and putting his hand on my shoulder again, I was going to just push him off me but before j could, Ne Zha slapped his hand away and pulled me in his arms

"Don't you Ȇ͙̭̟̰͚̘̈ͥ͝Ṿ̛̗̜̙͉̮̄ͧͅÈ̜͕̗̗̝̥̬̺ͨ͊̋́Rͨ talk to him like that" Ne Zha said in a demonic tone, his hair setting on fire, he wasn't too loud so no one would wake up, but was stern enough for the guard to almost piss his pants, he tried to remain calm and not seem scared but his expression gave it away. He walked off back to his spot, all the two other guards looking at him in disappointment.
Ne Zha and I slept in the same bed that night... I felt much better and was able to sleep a little... Hopefully tomorrow I'd feel better
