Most men would have hated being dragged around the Weyr by their lover on crazy errands, especially when it didn’t necessarily benefit them but R’nd didn’t mind. In fact, he enjoyed it. It was fun seeing the enthusiasm on B’jin’s face and how much energy and effort he was willing to put into something fun and extra for his class. This wasn’t required of him and while his Weyrlingmaster hadn’t been mean, he hadn’t been open to throwing excessive parties either. Thankfully R’nd and several others in his class knew how to entertain so all important milestones were celebrated in style! B’jin, however, wanted only the best for his class and it showed in the lessons with strong emphasis on safety and the way he paid attention even when everyone was convinced he wasn’t at all. This party was a clear example as to why R’nd still firmly believed the greenrider he had met briefly turns ago was the perfect dragonrider example.
In the end, his patience – as stretched as it was getting with all that needed to be done – had been worth it and B’jin making it up to him had been greatly appreciated and reciprocated. The next several days hadn’t been too bad either considering B’jin was losing himself in his artistic zone while drawing. R’nd hovered when he could and eagerly looked at the finished products that were given to him. It was because of that sneak peek he had been given that on the day of the party when B’jin asked everyone what they thought of their gifts, the bluerider knew they would all love them. What wasn’t there to love? B’jin was ridiculously talented with the charcoal and each drawing was perfect and filled with details that only the most observant would catch. R’nd beamed almost as brightly as B’jin as each weyrling took in their gift. In a way, he had helped give each one since he had looked over and approved – though it wasn’t needed – each one as carefully as B’jin had drawn them.
There was a brief look of confusion as B’jin gave him a paper as well. When had his brat of a lover draw him something? With the way he had been watching, R’nd suspected it had to be when he slept or perhaps when he was dragged to help a neighbour with a chore. Far too curious to see his own piece, R’nd turned it over, forgoing watching the reactions of everyone else. Slowly the confused curiosity turned into a delighted smile as R’nd took in the image created for him. It was beautiful and would find a home on his living room wall that night as soon as he swept B’jin home and thanked him properly for it.
For now, that type of gratitude was inappropriate for the dining table and R’nd opted for something a bit more subdued. Wriggling his way out of his seat, the bluerider got to his feet and quickly caught B’jin around the waist to pull him close. “I love it, my sneaky greenrider.” A kiss that bordered on being in the category of too inappropriate for dinner was given and enjoyed thoroughly before R’nd let B’jin return to his smug glow he seemed to have perfected when it came to art or music and sat down once more to admire the art.
