Nikolai and Lexr

"Absolutely not, " Nikolai snaps as he paces in front of him. The giant dragon snorts; ever since he started telling him that another person would be joining the bond, the little human has been furious.

"It will come soon, I can feel it. You have to accept the bond, Niki. "

Lexr mentally responds with a hint of mockery, knowing the nickname will only further irritate the dark-haired boy. Nikolai stops abruptly and turns to face him.

"Don't call me that," she growls . "You chose me, so why are you saying this to me now? Am I not enough for you?"

He takes a couple of steps closer until he feels the heat emanating from Lexr. Sadness is reflected on his face, hidden beneath the anger. The dragon's red eyes glow even brighter as he notices.

"I never said that. You're the most capable human being I know, that's why we're together. Your heart is noble. "

"Then why, Lexr?" the human persists. He places his hand on the rough skin and rests his forehead on the black scales. The steam escaping from his nostrils smells like live coal.

"You need someone else to get into your heart, and you're too stubborn to let them. I had to intervene. Call it... the greater good. "

Nikolai's body tensed completely as he heard footsteps approaching. The air grew thick around him, and it was clear why. The other person linked to him had arrived.

"Don't be insolent, little boy. Be kind. "

The dark-haired man mumbles a few things, but his body visibly relaxes after the warning. He turns to look at the third point of this triangle. He raises his chin before taking him in completely.

—So it's you, huh.

Nikolai is reserved, strong, and resilient. His willpower is immense, but his heart is even more so. Lexr waited for years to find a heart as noble as Nikolai's, which is why he didn't hesitate to choose him as his bond. Nikolai also has a strong character, so they can sometimes have disagreements. Their connection is powerful. They defend each other, even though they tease each other for fun.
