The wind whips through his hair, ice prickling his face as they zip through another cloud. It’s freezing up here, the cold so pure and jarring that it clears Shouto’s head like no other.
Ducking his head behind the long sturdy neck, Shouto squints his eyes to take in the sunset. The rays reflect against Katsuki’s scales making them shine like gold. Shouto caresses them, leaning down to press a kiss over shifting muscle. Katsuki lets out a low approving sound. He’s so warm.
His lover always knows exactly how to turn his awful day around. (When Katsuki strips himself naked, there’s two ways in which Shouto’s evening could go. Both often do the trick).
The scales beneath Shouto’s palm rumble and he heeds the warning, wrapping his arms snuggly around Katsuki’s neck. Shouto holds his breath, heart already thudding hard in anticipation. Katsuki’s head turns and Shouto meets his large ruby red eye, sparkling with that playfulness he’s come to love so much.
For a moment they’re suspended in time and space. And then they’re hurtling towards the ground, their vast kingdom strewn before them. Their home.
Katsuki roars and Shouto laughs along, high and light and free. Happy.
