Human(MxM)[UNEDITED]
Chapter 21

Aeldit POV

He was so small and tiny. So much so, his entire body could fit into my hand.

I looked at him while he slept, and watched as the hairs on his forehead fell into his face as he breathed. I found myself wanting to move those hairs out of the way, so I could look at him a bit more, but I knew if I did that, I would definitely hurt him with my talons.

He didn't look like any human I had ever seen, and till now I cannot explain what it was that I felt when I saw him that day.

I had waited patiently for the day that despicable human known as Gregor would be married. I had planned to come and rip apart his beloved right before his very eyes. I wanted him to feel every ounce of pain I felt when I saw all my family's bodies laying about.

It taken me a whole two days to bury them all in the sacred flames, and I vowed that I would get revenge for them, but somehow when my eyes locked with his, something else happened to me.

I couldn't feel any of the anger and hatred that had been all that kept me sane. I couldn't feel that thirst for vengeance that ate at me whenever I closed my eyes and saw my parents' dead bodies. I could feel none of that, and all I felt was

Peace and Warmth.

It overtook me all at once, I couldn't even begin to understand it. As I looked into his blue eyes, all my thoughts for revenge and hurting him, had completely vanished, and this new wave of protection over came me.

I wanted to guard and protect him at all costs,and that was something that even shocked me. I had no idea where this turn of emotions had come from, one second I was flying to his land, waiting in anticipation for the taste of his blood on my tongue and the next second, I was ready to rip apart anyone who touched him.

I was so confused, because I was used to everything being black and white.

We were all taught that the humans were dangerous. That they were cunning and ruthless people, that you could never trust a human under any circumstances.

The reason for my confusion, was right here, laying on the ground and sleeping soundly.

It's just that he was not like anything of the things that I was always taught to believe. He was not cunning, and he wasn't ruthless. If anything, he seemed so delicate and gentle. Almost like a flower that would crumble when you held it too tight.

How contrary to his name.

I remember my father telling me the story of some warrior whose names was Asgeir, and telling me that the name meant "Spear of the Gods" I found myself smiling when I looked at his frail body and I couldn't help but be amused at the thought playing in my head.

Spear of the Gods huh.

I watched as he squirmed about and stretched his limbs out. I found that I could honestly sit and watch him the entire day. He was just everything anyone would want to look at.

He opened his eyes slowly and looked at me watching him sleep. He smiled a bit and closed his eyes again. I realized that I too smiled whenever he smiled. It was like something natural. When he was happy, I was happy, despite everything that had happened, I still found some sort of comfort with his presence.

It had been a month since I took him, and initially I didn't believe him when he said that Gregor wouldn't come for him because he didn't love him, and that he was already planning on marrying one of his other brothers. I thought that the only reason he said that was to protect Gregor, but now a month later, I realized the truth in his words.

Gregor really didn't love him and although I would never harm him in any way, Gregor did not know that, and the fact that he could just leave him with a dragon made me angry. How could he just marry someone and see then as nothing but a means increase his progeny.

I hated him more than I did before. Because he was a human and he could do all the things that I could not do. All the things I longed and dreamed to do. Things that even shocked me.

He could touch Asgeir, he could hold him. He could do something as simple as move the strands of hair out of his face without physically hurting him. But most of all, what I found that I craved so much, even when I initially didn't even know what it was..

He could join his body with Asgeir's in a euphoric state of passion, without physically hurting him.

And that is what probably made me angry the most. The fact that I could not do those things, despite it being the only thing I ever wanted to do. The only thing that I longed for.

"How long have you been looking at me like that." He asked with his eyes closed and a smile on his face.

"Since last night."

That was another thing that shocked me. I found that I could not lie to him. Even when I tried to, it was like my inner self wouldn't let me. Every time he asked me something, I would just blurt out the truth before I could even think of a lie.

"You didn't sleep? Is something bother-"

"I want to show you something."
