"Wind and Fire"
"Shiro? Are you here?" Keith landed gently on a tree limb that jutted out over the path that cut through the forest. He was very careful to not set the tree or anything else in the forest on fire. He had just gotten control over his fire powers; it was the only reason he agreed to meet Shiro in such a flammable location.
"Here, Keith!"
The crimson and onyx winged fey looked up to see his black and white winged mate flutter down, settling on the branch next to him. Keith smiled and hugged Shiro, whose feathery wings wrapped around the slightly shorter fey.
It was a few more minutes before Keith asked, "Why did you want to meet me here?"
"I know we just bonded, but I thought we might move in together."
Keith stiffened. "Here?"
Shiro chuckled. "No, of course not, but there's a perfect spot not too close by. Did you want to see it?"
"Yes."
The two fey joined hands and took off, Keith allowing Shiro to lead the way. It was a lengthy flight, which almost tired out the smaller fey. Finally, Shiro pointed out a cave that was in the side of a dormant volcano. It was out of the way and hard to get to, which made it perfect for the two fey.
Shiro had scouted out the cave earlier, not wanting to expose his mate to any unseen dangers. It wasn't that Keith couldn't defend himself, but Shiro was slightly overprotective.
Keith landed at the mouth of the cave, grateful that they had made it. His wings weren't made for distance flying, not like Shiro's, but his were made to withstand extreme heat. He stepped into the cave, inspecting the place, while Shiro waited at the entrance. The further back he went, the warmer it seemed to be, which felt wonderful to him. He grinned and turned back to face Shiro. "I love it, Shiro."
Shiro stepped closer to his mate. "Would you be willing to share it with me?"
Keith tugged Shiro even closer. "I would be more than willing."
Shiro closed the distance between them and captured Keith's lips in a passionate kiss.
