Shiro just finished a complex assassination job, while Kuro completed an escort mission that went terribly awry. The couple are exhausted, but are very eager to spend some quality time together, as they have been separated for some time. Kuro was concerned about the injury he had sustained on his face, worried how the griffin would react. Fortunately, Shiro showed nothing but compassion for Kuro, relived that the dragon is still alive.

After an exquisite meal together, the two went out for a nightly stroll. While crossing a bridge, they decided to venture underneath. They sat on the ground, watching the water as it passed by. The sound the water made was relaxing. Both of them spent some time discussing the details of the jobs they had just completed. Shiro explained the difficulties of taking the life of another, while Kuro revealed the events that led to the scar on his face. Eventually, the topic changed to how much they missed one another and how seeing each other again is what kept them going. The two could not stop looking at each other, their hearts were beginning to race. Without any more hesitation, the two removed their clothing and began to embrace. There was a slight chill in the air, but the warmth their bodies gave off prevented the two from being cold.

Kuro loved the sensation he felt as his body came into contact with Shiro. The feeling of the griffins soft feathers touching his scales was incredible. Kuro was ecstatic that Shiro accepted him even with all of his flaws. He never wanted to let go of the griffin and hoped Shiro would never let go of him either. The couple had become so focused on the moment, that they failed to realize a ritual had started and a crowd was forming on top of the bridge. Shiro did eventually hear the crowd above and quickly wrapped his wings around Kuro, so they could no longer be seen by anyone who may look down. Kuro suddenly felt the majority of his back side being caressed by Shiro's wings. Truly, this was the happiest moment of his life.

Stay quiet you two, or else you may have an audience.

Note from Kuro: This is the first piece to use an updated look for Kuro. Most of his spikes were removed, his horns were slightly changed, his torso is more human like, he was given a scar on the left side of his face and there is a tribal marking on his left leg. Some of these changes will make him much easier to hug. ^^
