So uh anyone remember Abi? Yeah the one who started the whole generational trauma with Seiryuu's power bit. Unintentionally, ofc(no one wants to be kidnapped and tortured, duh). Yeah, og blue dragon warrior Abi, that Abi??
Quick headcanon that he is a huge part of the reason og dragon bros left. Not just for his own sake, but also because future generations and Guen an Shuten and Zeno being left to deal with the aftermath. But also just. His healing process? After Hiryuu dies, I highly doubt the four bros get too touchy feely, Hiryuu was the one that united them, after all, but I'd like to think that at least for this one instance, all dragons just kinda came together for support. Because yeah, these are three fully grown, emotionally stunted men with a teenager who's constantly trying to live up to the hype of the legend surrounding them, but they love each other. They're rough around the edges, but I'd like to think they can take care of each other and support each other when need be. Hiryuu definitely would have wanted that. He would've taught them that.
*siiiiighhh* this is just an incoherent og dragon ramble lol. also this line has been sitting in one of my docs for well over a year now so:
“Thank you.”
Abi turns to him, the bird perched on his shoulder cocking its head. “...What for?”
“For smiling again.”
Either Zeno or Guen is the one speaking, probably Guen. Because Abi's state after the incident is really sad and it just makes Shuten angry (because he couldn't do more) Zeno depressed (because he feels useless yet again and is definitely the one taking care of him and trying to cheer him up) and Guen lost (because he's the eldest. He should know how to handle these situations and be able to fix it because again. eldest. but it's literally just after Hiryuu's death and everyone is still dealing with so much grief). So uhhh... Abi recovery fic? He gets better, starts healing, even if he doesn't let people see his eyes before he leaves, and I really want some og dragon and youngster Zeno fluff. That was the original point of this post but I got so sidetracked lmao.
LISTEN. Abi, Guen, and Shuten just. Hit different. They hold a very special little place in my heart, I really want to write that fic sometime but i'll just leave this here for now/also for future reference.
