“That’s how it always starts.” Lester whispered as he hooked his tail around behind Charlie, keeping the fox from back into the low wall. He moved a hand over the side of Charlie’s face, caressing his ear and brushing gently through the smaller boy’s hair in an almost loving way, if not for his overbearingly possessive posturing. He seemed about to lean in for a kiss when a sound of a throat being cleared came from the other side of the low wall.<br/>Lester paused his gaze moving to the source of the irritated sound. Giggles of small children could be heard. “Lester, get back to class.” Quin said in a surprisingly threatening tone. The dragon tensed and glanced to Charlie, clearly weighing his options before he backed away. He wouldn’t dare misbehave the way he wanted with a whole class of children watching. With an flustered and annoyed grunt Lester planted his left fist firmly in Charlie’s gut, “I’ll get you later.” he growled in a low menacing tone before he tore himself from the fox and with a final glare to Quin headed back inside.<br/>“You okay?” Quin asked, his voice full of genuine concern. A few of his students had come up to the wall, also curious about the cute new student’s well being.
