Even after we were done eating and were back outside for training, the monks words still lingered in my head. *We'd both disappear.....* I groaned and bashed my head against the tree I was supposed to be climbing. 

"What the hell are you doing?" Zhao Tian asked me.

"Sorry." I didn't bother arguing with him as I proceeded to climb to the top of the tree. I retrieved the item we were supposed to get and jumped back down to the ground. As I handed it to Zhao Tian he grabbed my wrist.

"We're done for today." He called to E.Den and Jun while still locking eyes with me. The two boys looked at each other and shrugged their shoulder before the went back into the temple. "Don't let the monk's words get to you. Even though they may be true, I have faith in you to succeed. So don't worry about that for now and go take a shower." He told me. Without any words I nodded and went inside. I entered our room and went into the bathroom immediately. After cleaning up I felt much better. I laid down on my blankets and closed my eyes. My peace didn't last long as I felt someone lay down beside me. I opened my eyes to stare into Zhao Tian's/

"What?" I asked him quietly. My voice was void of any emotion.

"Please relax." He whispered so we wouldn't wake the others up.

"I am relaxed." I told him unconvincingly. He sighed and took my hand.

"Am I that bad?" He asked me. "Would you really not want to have kids with me?" He whimpered. I was shocked at his sudden change in behavior.

"Of course not. You're attractive and all but it's weird to think of you as a lover. Every time I get close to you I feel weird because I know you're a part of me." I told him.

"Don't lovers become one person eventually as well?" He asked me. I sighed and sat up as did he. I raked my fingers through my hair as I looked at him.

"Let's not talk about . Like I said, it's weird with you." I said. I knew I was hurting him but I couldn't stop now. It was too late. 

"So this is what a one-sided love feels like. it's not so great being a human." He scoffed and turned his back to me as he laid down again. I wrapped my arms around him desperately.

"Please don't be mad. I really like you too. It's just that I've never loved myself before so I need time." I whispered in his ear. He didn't move. I nudged  him. "Please!~" I whined. He turned around and propped himself up against the wall staring into my eyes intently. He motioned for me to come to him. I laid my head on his chest as he my hair. 

"I'll wait then. However long it takes for you to accept this. I may be a dragon but I'm still a man as well so I'll wait as long as I have to for the woman I love." He told me softly and kissed my forehead. "I'll never hurt you."
