Eijirou was lucky and very content with his life right now.
He and Izuku were married. Something Eijirou understood was a human tradition and was excited when that happens. The festivity turned to soft murmurs and chirps of the nocturnal insect as time went on, they slept in their bed. It was safe and warm, and Izuku was right there in Eijirou's reach. He could see the scars that linger on his lover's body and the steady rise and fall of his chest as he sleeps. This is what Eijirou wanted for a long time. He wanted Izuku and his heart swells that Izuku wants him. It was amazing.
Though, there was something Eijirou forgot. So, here lies Eijirou. Not dead but, not asleep.
Wide awake. The problem:
He wanted to perform his tradition of soul bonding to Izuku and had yet to ask Izuku to do so. It had the same meaning as marriage but does exactly what the name says. It was a part of the heritage and something he would love to do with Izuku, something he could show Izuku that brought him a little closer to home. He assumed this is what Izuku felt like when he proposed. Still, despite being married his stomach turned.
"Izuku?"
His husband turns away from him and flips the pillow onto his face. Eijirou chuckles and pokes Izuku.
"What do you want-" Izuku lifts up the pillow and looks out their window. He lets out a whine. "in the middle of the night? Ei why?"
"Do you want to bond souls?"
"What?"
"Well it's kinda like the dragon equivalent to marriage expect our souls will literally be bound together by magic and there's no party so we don't have to worry about that--" Eijrou finds himself having a hard time to close his mouth and stop talking. "it's all just a ceremony and this dance I do as a dragon but that's not part of the soul bonding its what we do to kinda show off I guess to prove ourselves and I know its the middle of the night but I wanted to ask you to do it? Please?" Eijirou was in fact nervous.
"I'm a bad influence Ei, you picked up my gambling habit. Is that how I sound like when I ramble?" Izuku asked, his voice muffled by the pillow on his face.
" Yes. "
Izuku groans and roughly takes the pillow off of his face and shoves it under his head. He turns his head to Eijirou, "Yeah let's bond our souls. Now go to sleep."
Eijirou laughs a bit. "Good night. I love you. " He leaves a small kiss on Izuku's temple. Izuku cracks a smalls smile and lets out a soft "Love you too." Izuku wrapped his arms around Eijirou's waist.
