Call my lifeline (one-on-one//closed)

"So do you wanna ride?" asked Arthur, "Or what?"

“Could I?” Kyle took a step closer, “But… I’m heavy though…” Quite the opposite actually, he was probably underweight.

"You're also small" said Arthur, "And you can't be that heavy" Arthur paddded up to him, standing still for Kyle to mount.

Kyle bit his lip and slowly climbed onto Arthur’s back. After a few moments he released a breath, “Okay. You can go.”

Arthur moved a little under his weight, making sure he was settled before padding off, his paws churning snow as he picked up speed.

Kyle held onto Arthur tightly, afraid of falling off. He let out a little laugh, the wind whipping through his hair.

"Lean forward! And tuck your legs up!" called Arthur, "And wrap your arms around my neck. That way you don't fall"

Kyle did as he was told, burn not without a slight roll of his eyes.

Arthur picked up the pace, forcing Kyle's body to move with his.

Kyle held on a little tighter. He was still smiling, though.

Arthur practically flew through the trees, heading deep into the woods. He was at a fast pace, not his fastest, but the trees whipped by faster than you could blink. He weaved through them, ducking under three branches, and around pines, tail streaming out behind him.

After a while of letting Arthur run wheverever he wanted, Kyle tapped him a little, “We need to turn back.”

Arthur nodded, heading a little further, "Just give me two seconds, there's something I need to show you"

Kyle nodded a little but knew they’d have to hurry. The part of the woods they were headed into wasn’t safe.

Arthur slowed as they came to a cliff, stopping at the very edge. "I… I need to show you my real abilities…" said Arthur, "Not just the fact that I'm half wolf…"

Kyle climbed off of Arthur, slightly confused, “Okay, but we need to be quick. It;s not safe here.”

"Nothing is gonna hurt us while I'm here" said Arthur shifting and backing towards the edge of the cliff.

“I didn’t know you had an ego,” Kyle muttered, watching him carefully, “What are you doing?”

"Showing you my secrets" said Arthur, not even bothering to glance back as he stepped of the edge of the cliff. Letting a violet aura surround him.

Kyle let out a little gasp and ran forwards, “A-Arthur?”

Arthur let the auras surround him, it'd been awhile since he'd done it, but it was something he was comfortable with. The auras faded, and Arthur could feel the wind pulling at his wings. He let them snap open, riding the air currents upwards, the sun glinting off of silver and violet dragon wings.

Kyle stood there with his mouth agape. Arthur really was full of surprises today, not the he minded.

Arthur sighed, riding the currents up to land behind Kyle, "I.. I hope I didn't scare you…."

Kyle shook his head with a small laugh, “Nah. You could never. You just… suprised me.”

Arthur laughed, "Well… I think this is the last surprise…"

"You sure?" Kyle raised an eyebrow and gave him a once over, "And I though you couldn't get hotter."

Arthur laughed, "Well I don't use my powers very often…. so you're lucky to even see this," he said, glancing at the metal band on his left wrist, which was pulsing faintly.

Kyle followed his gaze to the bracelet before back to Arthur's face, "Well, I'm honored."

"Has nothing to do with honor…" said Arthur, "I don't use them cause getting them hurt me, and a lot of people…. It's a very long story." Arthur let his wings fade, a shadow of old wounds crossing his eyes.

Kyle sighed through his nose, walking towards Arthur and placing a hand on his cheek, "I won't ask now, I'll wait till your ready, however long that might be."
