Blazing Ice (Winter x Qibli fanfic)

Chapter 2: Dinner (Qibli's POV)

Qibli was so excited for this dinner! He normally just went on dates with just him and Moon. Of course, he loved those dates, but he also hadn't talked to Winter in a while. He was kind of concerned for his IceWing friend. He was starting to act different lately, Qibli couldn't tell what it was, but he knew something was up. Maybe it was how Winter insulted him every time they met? Although he did that way before, so that's nothing new. Maybe he has depression? It would make sense, but Qibli couldn't tell why, and talking to Winter about his feelings was about the equivalent of talking to a brick wall. Qibli did want to talk to him some day, but he had to wait until the right moment. He wouldn't force anyone to say anything unless they were comfortable with it.

On the other hand, with Fang, Qibli didn't know him too well. He was a pretty handsome and burly SandWing, and he was good friends with Moon, so obviously he would be friends with him too. Hopefully he would get to know more about Fang during this dinner.

The restaurant was pretty full. Luckily they had made their reservation already, otherwise they would be there forever. Qibli and Moon landed at the entrance together. Qibli brushed his wing with Moon's.

"Are you ready, my love?" Qibli asked her. She was so beautiful today. of course, she was beautiful everyday, but this night in particular, her black scales seemed to have an extra shine to them.

"Of course, Qibli, are you ready?" Moon responded, leaning her body against Qibli's warm scales.

Qibli suddenly remembered that there were two other dragons that were supposed to be coming.

"Should we wait for Winter and Fang?" Just as Qibli said that, a giant unit of ice landed right beside them, hitting them with a cold breeze. Winter actually came!

"Hey," Winter said with a little nod.

"Oh my god you actually came!" Qibli exclaimed. "I was honestly half expecting you to skip it,"

Winter looked at him with his usual uninterested-in-life face. "Thank you for having so much faith in me," 

Qibli chuckled. he didn't know if Winter actually took that seriously or not. There was still one dragon missing, though. He noticed Moon looking up in the sky for him, and Qibli started doing the same.

"Where is he? He said he'd be here!" Moon seemed concerned.

"It's only been a minute, you know. He could've gotten stuck on a branch or something," Winter told her. He was also looking in the sky for the SandWing. 

Finally, after a while (it was ten seconds in reality), Fang landed behind them. Qibli could've sworn he had gotten much bigger since the last time he saw him, and not in a bad way. He seemed a lot stronger now. His arms and legs were noticeably muscular, and his body was absolutely amazing. Not only that, but some of his scales were tattooed, mostly down his neck in a double-helix pattern. He looked so badass, Qibli wished he could have that sort of body. Maybe he could get his scales tattooed to make up a portion of it.

Fang grinned at everyone. "Hello Moon, Qibli," He said in a smooth voice, greeting each of them with a nod. he turned to Winter to greet him "And hello..."

"Winter," Winter nodded at him. "Nice to meet you,"

"Winter, quite a fitting name. So are we ready to eat?" Fang walked alongside Moon as they started heading toward the entrance. 

"I'm definitely ready! I don't know about you guys but I've barely eaten all day!" Moon said excitedly. Qibli couldn't help but smile at how happy she was. 

They got inside the restaurant after fighting their way through the waiting customers in line. The restaurant was huge on the inside. All you could see was a sea of tables and dining dragons. Each table that was still empty had a black cloth over them, as well as a menu placed at each chair. Qibli went up to the waiter and told her their reservation, which of course was under the name "Moon".
