30. Chillness of Love

The normal process of sleeping turned to be struggling than his powerful opponents on the battlefield. The disturbed mind couldn’t endure to sleep; he randomly blamed everything in his room for his sleeplessness.
Dev grunted the moon to dim its brightness and his voice echoed over the west chambers of the Ice castle. So as his friend Ivan Shirk the red dragon, though he heard Dev, he ignored and pretended not to be heard.
Dev continued his shouting, “Hey, can’t you hear me…dim your brightness…you damn moon…I want to sleep…” then continuously Dev started to call his friend, “Ivan…Ivan…Ivan you firefly…”
Ivan woke to sit on his bed upon hearing the voice of Dev, delivered a sigh of disagreeing and continued his sleep. The strong voice of Dev kept knocking the eardrums of Ivan Shirk repeatedly.
Ivan got from his bed and decided to march with anger to the room of Dev which was located next to Dev’s room.
Dev exclusively designed his room and his friend’s room who wanted his friend to be with him together forever in the hope of honouring him. As Ivan Shirk has contributed many in the battlefields, Dev has offered his room to be next to his unlike the other generals rooming near the dungeon.
Dev wanted his friend to be with him when-so-ever he summons; Ivan too accepted the room as the token of friendship. The room of Ivan was a little smaller when compared to the room of Dev. Even though the size is smaller, Dev decorated his friend’s room with sufficient comfortableness.
Ivan unkempt his legs with some murmurings loudly, “I am a senseless dragon to accept the room next to him. I must not have accepted his token of friendship to get the room near him. It is like I am devoting my entire life to him, errr!”
Ivan Shirk forced the door of Dev’s room to open since it was made of a thick bar of ice. When he opened the door, Ivan could hear his friend Dev’s shouting at the moonbeams. Ivan raged to hear his name continuously, “Dev…What is it? I am here.”
Dev replied with the mixed feeling of sleep and anger, “You damn Fire-Fly…Did your ears turn deaf…Answer me you Red cockroach…”
Ivan stomped his way towards Dev, “Dev…stop it… tell me what is it? (With a pause) I heard you… Damn man, I was sleepy.”
Dev replied to him in anger bubbling a grunt, “How can you sleep ignoring me? I am unable to sleep…” he replied with a wide-open mouth, yawning.
Ivan inquired Dev with yawning back, “Why can’t you sleep…What’s disturbing you…?”
Dev pointed his finger in the direction of the window, but Ivan did not seem to be understood and asked him again in a sleepy tone with yawning, “What is it, Dev? I am not knowledgeable enough to understand your body language… Can you please fill it up with your words?”
Dev cursed Ivan for his dumb mind, “I know you are null-head. Look at the moonbeams, Ivan.”
Ivan puzzled, “What the hell just happened to the moon and its beams” he went near the window and peeped through the window to look at the moon, “I remember seeing this moon yesterday night. Dev, it remains similar in the way for millions of years.”
Dev countered with irritation, “Ivan, Are you suffering from night blindness…” Dev replied after a pause and threw a tantrum, “…These moonbeams are brighter today…”
Ivan answers back with extreme sleep along with yawning, “Dev…please…the moon has the regular habit of waning and waxing. It is their natural phenomenon…Why does it bother you?”
Dev inhaled and exhaled for a while to calm his anxiety and tried to explain to his friend, “Today, it looks more and brighter to disturb my sleep. Dim the brightness of the moon or help me with my sleep.”
Ivan told Dev mockingly, “Dev…did you know the famous saying…about dog and the sun…?”
“No…Ivan…” Dev replied with puzzled eyes.
Ivan replied, “The sun does not care if the dog barks at it…In the same way, the brightness will not dim if a white dragon roars at the moon…” Ivan busted out with hilarious laughter.
Dev looked at his friend with sharp eyes and waved his hand to change the mortal form of Ivan to dragon form and was forced to stand by the window to block the moonbeams from entering his room. Ivan ragged for forcing him to sacrifice his sleep to make his friend sleep.
Soon, the room went dark without any light as the wings of Ivan blocked the moonlight from entering the room. So, Dev was relieved from the darkness and hoped to have sound sleep.
Dev smirked at Ivan, “Pleasant night, Ivan. Have a good sleep”. Ivan turned his face to the opposite direction and tried hard to sleep in his dragon form. Will the destiny of Dev offer him a good sleep?
*****
Dev cuddled in his bed and tried hard to sleep while his friend red dragon left out some dried fumes from his nostrils unconsciously, a result of sleeping in his dragon form.
It was half-past midnight; the same exotic eyes knocked the mind of Dev again and filled his entire dream with the glaze of those eyes. Soon, a blurred image of a young girl’s face appeared, and then the whole image of the girl bloomed in his mind. The young girl stood before his window to gaze at the stars. To him, only her exotic eyes were visible to view clearly.
The young girl with outrageous beauty was standing in his room in the glimpses of moonbeams facing the window. The cold breeze made her hair move like waves of the sea. Even the shadow of the girl was visible enough to lure any men to fall in lust with her.
Dev unconsciously exclaimed in his dreams, “Perfect curves,” he started to glorify her figure and her extraordinary beauty.
He came to his sense and was shocked to find a girl in his room, to know who gave such guts to enter his bedroom without his prior permission, extended his hands to touch the girl, before he could reach her shoulder, the girl turned to give him a stunning smile.
Dev was merely eye-locked in her curly hair and felt the chillness of his bedroom for the first time since it was built thousands of years ago. He glanced at the girl from top to bottom; she looked simpler in her dressings not ornate. But, the penetration of moonbeams traced her physical beauty visible to feast the icy blue eyes of Dev which induced his hunger for her.
The girl opened her arms and stepped forward with an alluring smile. Dev was thrilled to watch the girl with exotic eyes along with a dazzling look approach him closely.
Dev went close to embrace the girl and pulled the girl towards him by having his hands around her waist. The surprising move of Dev made the girl inhale some air to hold her breath. She seemed to be understood from his gesture what he wants from her and rested her hands around his neck.
Dev indulged in happiness to receive such a positive response from the girl he holds. He moved his face to the side of her neck and forwarded his face towards her ears to deeply smell her fragrance. The fragrance of the girl intoxicated him with immediate lust. The air around them seemed to be hot all of a sudden apart from the chilling icy room, resulting in some sweating in his body.
Dev expressed his emotion to the girl in her ears, "You are intoxicating me..."
The girl hissed in his ears back little wiggling in his embrace, "Enjoy your intoxication".
Dev flashed his smile to her and could not wait to move his head down to touch her smooth lips and pressed hard enough to suck the life out of her with his kiss. “I AM YOURS”, the girl uttered in the middle of their kiss.
