B’jin had been incredibly cranky the night before, and had gone to bed early after snapping at R’nd for the umpteenth time about something ridiculous and definitely childish, such as the bluerider breathing in his direction or smiling at him or just existing. B’jin loved R’nd, and he knew R’nd loved him, but as the night got later all he could think about was how much he couldn’t stand being around his lover and he had stalked off to bed making a quip about how he hoped R’nd slept on the couch, even though they both knew it was very uncomfortable to sleep on.

Which was why, when B’jin woke in the middle of the night and found R’nd wasn’t there, it just made the greenrider grumpier. All his irritation at his lover flooded back through him in a rush of outrage and the man tumbled out of bed with a thump and stalked out to the living area. He didn’t bother with glows as he made his way confidently to the couch and kicked R’nd in the shin. He proceeded to make snide comments to the sleep fuddled R’nd about what the fuck was he doing on the couch and why wasn’t he in bed and did he have any idea what the time was?

Herding his confused lover into the bedroom, B’jin stood grumpily by the side of the bed until R’nd had crawled in. Once he was sure his lover wasn’t going to run off, B’jin scrambled in himself and cuddled up against the bluerider, pressing his nose against R’nd’s neck and nuzzling him affectionately before falling back asleep, arms and legs wrapped possessively around the bluerider and his nose still pressed against R’nd’s neck.

B’jin woke next as the light of dawn was growing more solid, his stomach alive with activity and his heart pounding somewhere near his throat. His body felt all hot and cold, with shivers rapidly running up and down his spine; he could feel all the hairs on the back of his neck standing up on end in the moments before Larrikith gave a shriek and flung herself off the ledge and into the sky. Turning his head, B’jin’s brown eyes met R’nd’s grey, and the greenrider gave a coy smile.

R'nd was well and truly used to B'jin when he was so irritable. They had spent too much time together over the years for him not to see the signs of Larrikith about to Fly. At first, it was something that bothered R'nd. It would come on out of the blue and he felt like he did something wrong to upset B'jin so much. As soon as Larrikith took to the skies and the Flight was over, everything was right again and it was obvious the mood was just a build up and nothing personal.

He often reflected on how cranky B'jin became. R'nd knew a lot of greenriders and most seemed grumpy just before their dragon rose but nothing was on a level with B'jin. A lasting theory of his was the relationship between dragon and rider. They were often bickering and R'nd knew B'jin hadn't wanted to Impress; he had been happy in his pampered life of a Harper. That strain might have been what caused the man to be so miserable for a day every four months. He never dared to ask B'jin about it though, always finding discussions about their pasts to be something tip toed through lest they find the one topic that was sore. R'nd was fairly open with his own, especially with such a chatty sister back in his life, but B'jin was more tight-lipped.

So he had put up with every complaint silently and even stretched out on the couch at his grumpy greenrider's insistence. He could have waited for B'jin to fall asleep and crawl into bed after him but R'nd was fine giving the man his space and waiting it out. Ayyonth agreed with him that Larrikith would likely wake everyone up around dawn, definitely by midday meal if she was being nice and letting people sleep.

When he was nudged awake a few hours later, R'nd was a bit groggy and allowed himself to be led back to bed, barely containing his eye rolls at B'jin wondering why he was on the couch. It was only three times a year but they were exhausting times and he happily fell back asleep ith B'jin wrapped around him.

Larrikith's shriek woke R'nd and he chuckled softly when Ayyonth told him it was dawn before taking off to chase his mate. They knew the green pair too well, it seemed. He turned his attention to B'jin and returned the coy smile with an amused one as he settled in for Ayyonth to take control and have his fun chasing Larrikith before the inevitable --at least it had better be!-- win.

B’jin came into his own with the warm contentment that, even after all these Turns, was foreign to him. After some two decades of Larrikith being snatched by a different dragon every flight, and having to force himself to ‘wake’ and flee before the other rider did, B’jin relished the warm familiarity of being won by Ayyonth and R’nd. But it was still odd. To be able to wake up when his body was ready, to wake up feeling good about Larrikith’s flight, to not be in pain or uncomfortable or feeling dirty… it was all so good and really, it all worked together to put B’jin into a mood that was the polar opposite of his pre-flight mood.

The greenrider gave a soft hum as he pressed himself closer to the warm and very familiar body, nuzzling against R’nd’s neck and breathing in the bluerider’s scent as he slowly opened his eyes and pressed a kiss to his mate’s jawline. B’jin didn’t know if anyone else had bothered to chase – they must have, or Larrikith would be pissy – but honestly, it was irrelevant. So long as R’nd and Ayyonth won, B’jin didn’t care who gave chase. It wasn’t even that he hated it when V’ler or D’hys won – they were nice enough – but when R’nd won, it was special.

When they didn’t even leave the bed – never mind their weyr! – B’jin couldn’t be happier. Lifting himself up slightly, B’jin smiled down at R’nd, brushing mussed up blonde hair from the bluerider’s face. The gentle kiss that was pressed to R’nd’s lips was still curved with the same smile, “I love you,” he said gently, with just enough space between their faces that they could look at each other comfortably. B’jin still felt a flutter of anticipation in his belly when he said the simple, but powerful, words to R’nd; he knew how uncomfortable they made the bluerider, but sometimes they were the only way B’jin could express how much R’nd meant to him.

“Thank you,” he added softly, eyebrows drawn together seriously. There was a lingering – if deeply buried – terror that one day R’nd and Ayyonth wouldn’t chase, and not because the dragons were playing games, but because they didn’t want to any more. B’jin didn’t ever want that day to come, but his pessimistic side said it could be her next Flight. He did his best to ignore it as he kissed a trail down the side of R’nd’s jaw and across his collar bone.

R’nd was typically a happy man but the bliss and relaxation that came after a Flight – especially Larrikith’s—probably made him nearly insufferable. He would have gladly stayed in bed with B’jin curled against him for the rest of the day if their responsibilities would allow for it, though that was often an opinion he held even without the Flights. How he got so lucky, he still wasn’t sure. A long-harboured crush that was given a chance to bloom and somehow weathered some rough storms turned into something much more than he ever would have expected or dared to hope for. One day, it would likely all come crashing down around him and it was R’nd’s goal to enjoy every moment he had with B’jin until then.

He smiled and kissed B’jin’s nose when the meaningful words were uttered. R’nd had accepted long ago that he loved B’jin as well and while he sometimes still had his odd panic attacks brought on by those emotions or the number of years they had been together, he wasn’t truly afraid of the emotions anymore. It helped that Ayyonth harassed him regularly in the past to just accept everything and get over it until he was finally able to mostly get over his fears and self-doubt. “And I you,” R’nd replied back with a tender smile and only realised afterwards that he had skipped over a pretty important word in that statement.

Before he could rectify that and jump over another one of his odd hurdles, B’jin was thanking him. For saying, sort of, that he loved him as well? That didn’t seem right, but R’nd couldn’t figure out what the gratitude was for. Maybe just for chasing? That seemed like a safe guess given the Flight had ended moments before but still the puzzlement was obvious in his expression as he tried to work it out. “For chasing? I always will. Well, for as long as you want us to.” If things one day turned sour and they parted ways, R’nd would respect B’jin’s wish not to be chased by them again if that was what he wanted. He knew Ayyonth would follow him on that as well but hopefully it never came to that!

B’jin gently stroked the side of R’nd’s face with light fingers; he hadn’t missed the missing word in R’nd’s reply, but it didn’t bother him, not really and not in that moment. He could tell by the expression on his bluerider’s face and the way he’d spoken the words that the love was deeply implied, even if the word itself had been missed. It was the confused look that formed on R’nd’s face that caused B’jin to pause, and he tilted his head slightly, brown eyes showing his own confusion at R’nd’s confusion.

“Yes,” B’jin admitted softly, flushing slightly and shaking his head. Leaning forward, B’jin pressed a kiss to R’nd’s lips once more, expression soft. “Never stop,” he said, half serious but half teasing, scrunching his nose up as he smiled and pressed their foreheads together for a moment, tongue darting out to lick R’nd’s cheek playfully; stubble and the tang of sweat. B’jin laughed softly and tumbled back onto the bed beside R’nd, their legs still tangled together and gentle hands still exploring the body he knew so well, without really being provocative.

“So, my wonderous winner,” B’jin began, teasing and playful, “What illustrious plans did my green minx interrupt for you today?” No doubt the bluerider had had actual plans he’d been intent on fulfilling, because that was usually how Larrikith worked and Ayyonth would have been along for the ride if it meant teasing the pair of men. Disastrous beasts, dragons!

“You mean other than sleeping in?” R’nd was a huge fan of sleeping to late morning or even close to midday meal if he could get away with it which is why he did his best to make plans for later in the day whenever possible. Sometimes chores called for early rising or the plans of someone else made him rise early and while he grumbled a bit upon waking, he never let on to those he was seeing that he’d rather still be in bed.

“I’m heading to Ista to see the boys this afternoon. I received a letter via Shadow a couple of days ago,” while he had Rell and B’jin had Shimmer, it was still odd to have a firelizard pop into his home unexpectedly but he was slowly growing accustomed to it thanks to A’tay’s penchant for writing him updates on his weyrling training. “Apparently Xyxyth has had a growth spurt and I want to see how they’re doing. A’tay also mentioned T’ryn is still being anti-social.” He worried about his oldest son. The boy had suffered two major heart breaks in rapid succession from what R’nd could figure out between N’mor’s crying and reports that T’ryn wasn’t with Casa anymore. He was doing his best not to meddle, letting the boys figure out their drama on their own but R’nd was starting to worry that T’ryn would become a recluse and not giving relationships another chance soon.

“You can come, if you’re free. I’m sure A’tay would be happy for your opinions on his care of Xyxyth and no doubt N’mor would love an unexpected visit from you,” R’nd chuckled as he imagined the expression the young bronzerider would have when he saw his father.

B’jin laughed, and shook his head slightly. He knew it was early, but he’d been so thoroughly woken up that it didn’t feel early, like it usually did. Like R’nd, B’jin did not like waking up before he had to, and that usually meant sleeping in until at least midday; later if he could get away with it! He generally made up for it by being someone who was up until a ridiculous hour of the night – writing, reading, planning lessons, chatting with R’nd (or more involved things with the bluerider).

“They’re still not talking,” B’jin sighed. N’mor was being rather tight lipped about how he was coping, but B’jin had seen his dragon on Z’rin’s ledge on and off over the past few weeks. He wasn’t sure what was going on there, but was willing to give their boys their space. To a degree, anyway; growth and all that. Despite the temptation to go and quiz the bluerider, B’jin had kept to himself (mostly, anyway. The pair of them were slippery fuckers. Probably dragons playing guard) and he was content to let R’nd handle his half of the troubled offspring.

A warm smile lit up B’jin’s face at the invitation to tag along and poke his nose in on A’tay and his young bronze, brown eyes sparkling with delight. He loved the young dragons, and while he didn’t actually have any issues with any of the other Weyrlingmasters (except G’rem) B’jin rather felt they didn’t do nearly as well at their job as he did. Not that he was biased or anything like that.

“Sounds fun,” he grinned. “Though I think Indamor was roaming around here somewhere last night.” Larrikith had told him the bronze had appeared in the late evening, though his son hadn’t come by to say hi; probably too busy getting laid by his bluerider friend. B’jin was still floored that the boy was involved with a bluerider. Maybe R’nd had been a better influence on the young man then either of them had realised?

R’nd wordlessly nodded as B’jin mentioned their boys weren’t talking still. He had suspected as much from what A’tay had said and the fact the boys hadn’t popped over together in quite some time but he had hoped that had changed all the same. Assuming T’ryn didn’t play and hide and seek in the Weyr when he saw Ayyonth and Larrikith appear, R’nd was going to make sure he got a visit in with his eldest child. Even if he didn’t get much out of T’ryn, he hoped he could tell his son to make the first move in repairing the friendship they both so obviously missed and to get outside more and socialise.

The confession that N’mor was spending more time at Telgar was greeted with both a surprised quirk of a brow and a realisation that he wasn’t actually that surprised. People seemed to forget he was observant and he had noticed for months that Rhezalth was visiting Varralath and Z’rin. R’nd never commented on it, assuming it wasn’t his business and that the riders could merely be friends that liked to play cards together or discuss history for all he knew. It seemed obvious, however, that N’mor had found himself an older lover and while R’nd hoped it hadn’t turned into a sexual relationship because he lost T’ryn, he hoped N’mor was happy.

“You’re still invited to come along and pester my boys even if yours is otherwise occupied here,” speaking of being occupied, R’nd shifted and gently guided B’jin to lie on his back so he could be straddled. R’nd gently ran his hands down B’jin’s arms, running from shoulders to hands, stopping when he laced their fingers together.

“Still plenty of time to nap and bathe before we’re expected in Ista, so how about we find some reasons to tire ourselves out enough to fully warrant that nap?” A naughty grin accompanied the question he didn’t expect an answer for even as he leaned down to capture lips with his.

“Mm, one of my favourite pastimes,” B’jin teased, a smirk twitching at the corners of his lips. Teasing R’nd-kids was almost as fun as teasing his lover, and probably at least as enjoyable for B’jin as teasing him was for Larrikith. A whole round-and-round situation, really. The teaser doing the teasing and what-have-you. His thoughts were rather delightfully interrupted from their carousel when R’nd shifted them both. B’jin’s expression lit up, though his eyes sparkled with playful mischief.

Giving their joined hands a slight squeeze, B’jin smiled invitingly. “My favourite pastime,” he said softly, just before R’nd sealed the words with a kiss. This had become his favourite part of Larriktih’s Flights; what had once been torture and lead to nothing but misery and often injury, had become something B’jin thoroughly enjoyed. Post-flight sex had never been on B’jin’s list of wants, though that had quickly changed when R’nd became a constant; their sexlife was hardly lacking, and B’jin felt they had a lot of fun together and while he knew they weren’t particularly adventurous (B’jin had certainly been forced into some interesting situations by other lovers that he wasn’t interested in ever doing again) they were very emotional.

Post-flight just seemed to amplify that, and B’jin quickly and happily got lost in the emotions and feelings that came with being with R’nd. When naptime came, the greenrider cuddled close to his bluerider, arms and legs entwined and head resting against R’nd’s chest, tucked under his chin and listening to the sound of his heart beat retuning to normal before sleep claimed him.

How had he gotten so lucky?
