The Imprisoned Dragon - Blade, Dan Heng IL

24. Eye Of the Storm

Blade was laying on the bed, his arms were crossed and his red eyes focus on the view out of the balcony next where he was.

Everything was silent and peaceful, the air was fresh and had still a little scent of rain in it. The swordman didn't mind it at all.

Everything was over anyway.

Kinda.

"I swear, I will never get over you little nuisances" he mumbled as the whole room was the typical aquarium. Blue waterdrops were covering the whole room as long seaweeds were covering the walls and moving like they were underwater, as little sea creatures were flying around the room with Yichen.

Blade moved one hand towards the Immortal's face to caress a little his cheek as he was sleeping peacefully on his side. His eyes were vigilant of everything around them, even of himself.

"Fool" he whispered as his hand was moving towards his hair covered in blue magic waterdrops. He couldn't understand how much mana Dan Heng was releasing in the moment, but his heart was at peace and his insanity was off. Was it because of Dan Heng's touch? How was it possible? He couldn't understand.

Flashes of him leaning and kissing the immortal got back to his mind, and he stopped his hand from touching Dan Heng's hair. He looked away, feeling frustrated, asking himself how could he but also how could he ask for more even if he got more than one kiss?

Dan Heng after that was happily letting him caressing like he didn't care about anything or even till where the swordman wanted to push it. Blade could feel the heart of the immortal racing, his red cheeks and red ears were enough for him to understand it was enough, and it was okay.

He leant the hand to Dan Heng to escort him outside his room as he thought maybe it was better to simply get back, but the immortal looked at him grumpy and literally jumped in the bed, getting under the blankets under a confused Blade still standing in front of the door.

They didn't speak after the kiss or the caressing, maybe because they were both elaborating the emotions they felt, or they didn't want to ruin the beautiful bubble they were in.

So now, Blade was laying on the bed with his back against the bed headboard, checking sometimes on the immortal, who managed to fall asleep and probably letting his emotions way too out.

"I can't..." Blade sighed as he laid the hand on his face, feeling frustrated over his own feelings... His red eyes looked for Dan Heng's figure like he was looking for something he was about to lose and couldn't help but leaning more towards his face. He looked ethereal, sleeping, and his face was relaxed like he didn't have a killer laying next to him.

"You're just a fool." he mumbled to then leave a kiss on his forehead, feeling the urge to hug him and close his eyes next to him.

But he couldn't.

***

When Dan Heng woke up, he felt for some minutes that whatever happened in the night was just a dream, but as he touched his lips he smiled widely feeling again those emotions like real.

His happy and relaxed face changed as he opened his eyes.

The room was empty.

Dan Heng looked around, seeing nothing and his heart started to race out of fear.

Did Blade play him dirty like that? Kiss him as farewell? Like that? No, he couldn't. He really couldn't do that.

But why was the room empty and why did he wake up without him watching over like usual?

"Blade... Blade you..." Dan Heng was about to be sad and wishing to fall asleep again because he was living the nightmare. Waking up without Blade with him anymore.
