Description

  Walking through the crowd of dragons, Daniel weaved through them to reach his den. It was as he left it at the start of the night, thankfully. Gently setting Singe down so he could stand on his own, Daniel shrunk down into his real form to give himself a break.
Singe: *rubs his hands as he looks around* … This is your den? Looks nice.. You really were serious about leaving your old life to come here, huh? It seems like you fit right in.
Daniel: *ears twitch, grabbing a cloth and a bucket of water* Yes, well, I made it like this over my many visits.. But the longer I stay here, I am starting to question my plan.. *sets the bucket down next to Singe and hands him the cloth*
Singe: *takes the cloth* Thank goddesses… Don’t get me wrong, even I wish I could stay here. This place is amazing..! Even the patrol with Chu’a.. Without the … almost getting eaten part. Could’ve done without that, heh.. *ears fold back* ……. I hope you do decide to come back. If not for me, then for your family and friends and.. That life you built for yourself.
Daniel: *looks to the side* I am still thinking about it… *ears twitch* …. Did you just come here to convince me to come home…? When I saw you the other night, I was very conflicted… I wanted to be happy to see you… But after what you said to me in that message, I was also angry…. It felt like you came to lure me back under false pretense…!
Singe: *ears fold back* With how long we’ve known each other, do you really think I’d do that, Daniel?
Daniel: *snorts* No… But it was a guess, with how I was expected to forget about you after those months….. Uncle told me he was wrong to tell us to split apart.. But I still question why you did it….. You never listen to him.. Least when he’s being stupid, heh… *ears droop flat*
Singe: Tch..! I didn’t do it for him! I could give a rat’s ass about some dead changeling queen. I did because.. I thought it was for the best.. Obviously if I had know all of THIS was going to happen then I wouldn’t have fucking done it… No one is happier this way and neither of us is better off..
Daniel: *shakes his head* It was stupid of me to come here…
Singe: Obviously. *as he stared cleaning the burns on his hand and wincing*
Daniel: *glares at him* Hrmmm… *sighs* Even Dewberry tried to stop me from leaving.. *holds up his hand, showing tiny bite marks and scratches* But she wouldn’t come with me…. She wanted me to wait, and stay….
Singe: Well, she’s here now. She wouldn’t let me come without her.. Ow. *waves his hand*
Daniel: *chuckles a bit* She’s a lot smarter than I thought she was….. St-stop.. Stop that.. Gimme..! *gently grabs his wrists*
Singe: *grunts and grumbles* I know how to take care of a burn. I’ve been doing this for longer than you’ve been alive, Daniel.. Or should I start calling you Baelfire? What does that even mean? Do you get a new name after going through dragon bootcamp or something?
Daniel: It’s the name I would have gotten if I was actually born in the village.. It means Bonfire.. *gently places his hands over Singe’s, the pain slowly ebbing away* The name is like a right of passage for “outsiders”, if you weren’t born here..
Singe: *ears twitch* … There is still so much I don’t know about this place.. So much you never told me, heh.. But I get it, they are in hiding. Would kind of defeat the point…
Daniel: …. I was planning to tell you about this place anyways…. It’s the one thing I’m most proud of, being part of it.. I wanted to share that with you, because I trust you…. Hmm… *pulls his hand away, the burns healed*
Singe: *ears spring up as he flexes his fingers* H-how?!
Daniel: *holds up his necklace* Grandmother, heheh… Without this I wouldn’t be able to use magic like this, or even maintain my dragon form for as long as I did.. It’s very draining for me because I’m not a unicorn like her, or my sister.. *holds up his mane, the tips faintly turned white*
Singe: … Your grandmother seemed like she was an amazing mare. Chu’a and Kanti speak very highly of her..
Daniel: *nods* She’s really something.. I wish I could tell her how much I appreciate her help more often..
Singe: *smirks* I’m sure she knows.. She’s probably still watching over you, somewhere.. *waves his hand*
Daniel: I know she is.. *ear twitches as he looks at his gem* Sometimes when not invited………… Yes I mean you!
Singe: *ears twitch* …. Are you talking to the crystal? Danny….*giving him a concerned look*
Daniel: *waves his hand* I’ll explain it to you another time.. It’s something else I wanted to share with you, but… I never really saw a good time for it..
Singe: *grimaces and snorts* …. Whatever, I’m used to you and your secrets by this point.. *uses the cloth to clean his face* Frankly, I think I’ve just stopped caring. I don’t even want to know anymore secrets..! It’s just… nothing but bad.
Daniel: *ears fold back* Goddesses… You still hate me for not telling you about the hive..?
Singe: Does it really matter what I think, Daniel?!
Daniel: Of course it does, it’s just-... Wh-what happened in there…. *thinks back to how Eris revealed Imago’s secret* …. You might not be able to handle it… and just hate me more..
Singe: *puts his hand up to stop him* I already said, I don’t want to know! I’m done with secrets, I’d rather be in the dark then… learn some truths.. And if that truth is you don’t trust me or you are a horrible pony somehow, I don’t want to know it… I just want to live in ignorant bliss..
Daniel: … If that's how you really feel…. *looks to the side*
Singe: Do I really have a choice? *shakes his head and puts the cloth down*
Daniel: You do….. And, if you really don’t care then….. *sighs* …………. I stabbed Bubble… She was in the hive with us.. *winces*
Singe: ……….. What? You’re… joking, right?
Daniel: I stabbed her through her shoulder, because I thought she was a drone in disguise to hurt Uncle… *takes a few arm length steps away from Singe*
Singe: *takes a few steps closer* You STABBED MY COUSIN?! What… what the hell is WRONG with you?!
Daniel: I told you you couldn’t handle it! *dodges him and jumps into his nest above*
Singe: Couldn’t-- I couldn’t handle it?! No wonder Mako wants us to break up! Goddesses, are you serious?! What was she doing there in the first place? You could have killed her! She could have died! *shakes his head* ….. This all makes so much more sense now… Bloody hell.. YOU are an idiot. Mako is an idiot… And I’m gonna pimp slap Bubble when we get back home, I swear the Luna’s fat arse!
Daniel: *peaks at him from his nest* I told you it would be too much for you.. *stops him before he can speak* I-I told Bubble she should have stayed behind, but she wanted to find Uncle herself..! And Mother didn’t argue with her, she just BROUGHT her with us..! I told you it was dangerous… I attacked Bubble on my own, yes, but I tried to KILL Uncle under Eris’ control…! If you had been there too, I--..... I don’t want to think of what I might’ve done to you too… *cringing internally as he covers the real lie*
Singe: *pants and grumbles and growls* Hrmm……. *lets out a deep breath* Deep breaths, gentle hands… *rubs the bridge of his muzzle* Okay…. Okay! Fine, that.. Makes sense.. I guess… But see, we aren’t even dating anymore, and I’m coming to an understanding! Imagine how much smoother this could have gone if you had just told me from the beginning?!
Daniel: *stares at him* Oh yes, I’m sure the break up would have been in person and not a low blow text message instead….
Singe: *points at him* You were the one who stormed out of the trailer saying we shouldn’t have ever met and you weren’t answering your phone! I wouldn’t have broken up with you over stabbing my cousin! If you killed her, maybe!
Daniel: Surprising what a difference a few inches away from a lung or heart makes.. *snorts* I didn’t mean what I said when I left, I was just angry…! You got so defensive thinking I implied you couldn’t take care of yourself..! I was just worried about you..! Or is that against the rule of your trailer where you can dote on me like I’m an infant but I can’t raise a finger to help you out!
Singe: You ARE practically an infant! And you were having stress activated seizures and not taking care of yourself worth SHIT! I’ve been on my own for nearly 10 years, there is a difference!
Daniel: You--! ………… Hrmm…. Alright, you have me on that one… But it’s not exactly easy growing this quickly you know..! One year I’m a toddler and the next three I have to live on my own..! *sighs* Time just moves differently in my eyes.. I admit, I was stupid to think I was indestructable..
Singe: Good!
Daniel: But you were a complete asshole to break up with me in a text and not even explain to me why in person! Did you even try to look for me?! I was hunting coons in the woods!
Singe: *squints at him*.... How would I possibly know that? No, I didn’t look for you, I was going through a mental breakdown at the moment..!
Daniel: *ears perk* What..? Why..?
Singe: *ears fold back* And then you decided to skip town the next morning, when would I have had any time to explain anything to you?! You went from zero to a hundred in 3 seconds and was gone! Why do you even think I’m here?!
Daniel: *stares quietly before jumping down from his nest* So you’re dumping me in person and THEN explaining it to me..?
Singe: *stares at Daniel, swallowing hard* … I don’t really want to do either, to be honest..
Daniel: Then why did you send me that text..?!
Singe: I.. I needed a break. That’s what I typed, wasn’t it? I just.. There was too much going on, and I couldn’t handle everything crashing down on me at the same time.. I couldn’t.. do it anymore. I couldn’t be me, I couldn’t be there for you, I could barely hold myself together. It was either I took a step back or I was going to lose my grip..! *his wing tensed* … And I didn’t want you there to see that happen..
Daniel: *stares at him silently, ears folding back a bit* …. What did happen, Cinder…? *takes a step closer*
Singe: *ears fold back flat* … It’s hard to explain.. Not without you hating me more than you already do… Maybe that’s why I sent you the text message, so I didn’t have to deal with… this.. *referencing with his hands* … Like a coward, heh..
Daniel: *shakes his head* I don’t hate you, Cinder… I was mad, but I couldn’t hate you…. I loved you… and I still do..
Singe: *stares at Daniel* …. I slept with Maggie.
Daniel: …….. *takes a deep breath* …… What? *arm twitches like he is ready to slap a bitch*
Singe: *puts his hands up* It was months ago, before we even met. Maggie and I used to sleep together but that ended months ago.
Daniel: *muscles relax and feathers lay down flat on his neck* Huh… It didn’t seem like it ended well, with how she acted at the bar during lunch…
Singe: I’m getting to that… It did end well, we were still friends… up until she lost the baby…. Until she lost, my baby.
Daniel: *ears perk, eyes widening a little bit* ….. Your, baby….?
Singe: *nods and swallows hard, trying to keep himself together* I went to the Mix after our fight, to.. vent mostly. Maggie used to be my go-to pony when shit was hitting the fan… but she wasn’t having it and purposely was making things worse.. Things escalated and she told me I was the father… *shakes his head, looking down* … Not that it matters really… I mean, even if the foal did survive, she wouldn’t have told me… Rather have no father at all then have a deadbeat like me in their life..
Daniel: *ears fold back a bit, absorbing all the information* …. So that’s why you said, I would be better off…. In the text….. *ears droop back* Goddesses, Cinder..
Singe: *puts his hands up* I get it, I.. overreacted, and shouldn’t have texted you at all! I should have just slept it off and thought it over with a clear head or.. Find you, I don’t know… my head wasn’t in the right place, I wasn’t thinking clearly and fucked up.
Daniel: *shakes his head a bit* Cinder… *steps closer*
Singe: *ears fold back* But in my defense, I didn’t think you’d jump off the rails like you did and ditch town..! And no, I’m still not okay! I’m still trying to hold my shit together… It’s like I’m walking along the edge of that fucking cliff again and just one wrong step and I’ll loose my grip..
Daniel: *more firmly* Cinderplume..!
Singe: *fluffs up* What?!
Daniel: *grabs his arm and pulls him into a tight hug* Don’t be stupid..!
Singe: *stands there* …. Uh, I’ve been told that’s kind of hard for me…
Daniel: Shut up…. I’m sorry I left.. I can’t imagine what it felt like to hear all of that in one night….. But I wouldn’t have thought less of you like Margarite did… The only thing I would have wanted was to try and help you through this… You’re not a deadbeat.. You’re not stupid….. All the time…. You’re Cinder.. Goddesses, you came all this way to explain it to me and I didn’t do anything but try to send you away because I wasn’t thinking…. Now that I know, I just want to be there for you… Like you were for me…
Singe: *ears fold back* …. That was kinda shitty of you, heh… You are a real bitch sometimes..
Daniel: I know… I was your bitch though…
Singe: *inhales sharply* …. No, but I wish you were sometimes…
Daniel: Huh..?
Singe: Don’t worry about it.. *gently pushes Daniel away* Look… I came here to try and explain why I needed the break.. I don’t need pity though. I can get through this and eventually, someday, I’ll go back to being Mr Sunshine again.. But right now, it’s not happening…
Daniel: …………… *punches Singe’s arm* Idiot!
Singe: *fluffs up* Ow! What you do that for?! *rubs his arm*
Daniel: Is THAT what you think I want from you..?! Sunshine and smiles and joy all the time..?!
Singe: *ears fold back* Yes! That’s what ponies want! They don’t want to deal with the shitty reality of the outside world. That’s why I do what I do for a living. That’s why I always try so hard to make you happy…. Because seeing you smile was the world to me..
Daniel: ……… *punches his other arm*
Singe: OW!! Cut that out, I’m not afraid to punch an infant! ……………….. I shouldn’t have said that… *back peddles* ACK!
Daniel:*grabs him and drags him into a chair on the other side of the room* Idiot! Stupid, stupid, stupid idiot!
Singe: *pouts in the chair* I heard you the first time, sheesh..
Daniel: Cinder, it’s your job to look happy under the tent, but it’s not your job to always be that way around me just so I’m the only one smiling…! My problem is something you can’t fix! I’m not with you just because you make me laugh, and feel happy all hours of the day with no care in the world.. I’m with you because you are REAL… I want to be there for you when you’re happy, or sad, hurt and in pain…. I don’t want you to put on a fake smile for me when you’re down…. I don’t want Singe the firedancer… I want Cinderplume…
Singe: *ears perk, cheeks pink* …… *looks down, trying to process this* …….
Daniel: ….. *ears fold back a bit* … I’m sorry I hit you.. *rubs his arm*
Singe: …. I’m sorry I called you an infant.. I know how much that bothers you…
Daniel: *snorts* I can deal with my family treating me like a baby…. But not you.. *mouth twitches before smiling* That’s why I fell for you, heh… You thought I was cool, and strong, and could handle myself in better situations…. You treated me like a pony…
Singe: *smiles a little* I still think you are pretty badass, heh.. Especially today with how you stared down those Rogues… and saved my tailfeathers again. *looks to the side and grimaces* ….. I guess I really am worthless in a fight.
Daniel: …. Are you kidding me..? I saw what you did to those Rogues. You fended off two fully grown dragons that tried to eat you, by yourself..! I was watching!
Singe: ………. How long were you watching? What, you were just gonna wait until I was already in their mouths or something?!
Daniel: *fluffs* N-not exactly, no..! I arrived around the time one of them had you pinned down…. And then you smashed his knuckles with a rock..
Singe: That was in the very beginning! I had to jump from TWO burning trees!
Daniel: *puts a hand to his mouth* The point is! You handled it on your own for a good while…! You didn’t need help until the end.. You’re not worthless, Cinder..
Singe: *glares at him* Hrmm…. Well obviously..! Otherwise I’d be dragon chow because of my incompetent coltfriend!
Daniel: ……. I’m going to hit you again..
Singe: I’m gonna hit you back if you do!
Daniel: I’m not afraid to fight a man-child…
Singe: *growls and slaps Daniel hard on the butt*
Daniel: AAAH! *jumps and covers his flank* …… *cheeks turn pink, then looks away* Hrmm… Lucky shot..
Singe: *stands up and cracks his knuckles* That’s what I thought… We may not be in my trailer, but it’s still my rules..
Daniel: *looks up* …… *chuckles* Oh, no… Not in MY den…
Singe: Ha! No offense but I’m not taking threats from a half pint little robin~ *as he pats Daniel’s head*
Daniel: *tail twitches, letting out a purr and stepping closer to nuzzle his chest* Hmmm, I’m still “Little Robin”, huh..?~ *curls his tail around him*
Singe: *ears spring up, face turning red* U-uh… I mean… if you don’t want to be.. *looks to the side, trying not to fluff up too much*
Daniel: Aw, Cinder…~ *rubs his chest and purrs into his neck….. Before sweeping Singe’s legs and pinning him to the floor* Nothing would make me happier.~
Singe: OOF! Oooow… you are so violent when you are pissy… geez.. *pushes up with his wings and swings his leg around, pinning Daniel on his back, pressing his arm lightly on Daniel’s neck* … I’m just trying to be nice, you could be a little grateful..~ *griiiiiins*
Daniel: HMMMPH! *coughs a bit, but purrs* Heheh, I was wondering when you’d stop treating me like I’m made of glass…~ *slaps Singe’s cheek* You’re still an idiot though…
Singe: *glares at him* … Am I now? *stands up and throws Daniel over his shoulder* I’m the idiot? Or are you the idiot for choosing to be with the idiot… I think we need to have The Talk… *as he takes him outside the den*
Daniel: *fluffs up* What- HEY! What are you doing?! *tries to wriggle free*
Singe: *keeps walking* Just so you know, I never thought that you were made of glass. Infact, I knew you were a hot headed little shit from the very beginning from Mako’s stories… I think it’s time for you to cool off… *and throws Daniel into a nearby creek*.. Yeet.
Daniel: AAAACK! PPPPPPT! *spits out water* You did NOT just do that…!
Singe: *inhales and exhales loudly* Aaaaaah! That feels so much better. Like this huge WEIGHT being lifted off my shoulders~
Daniel: …. Did you just call me FAT…?!
Singe:... No, I’m not that big of an idiot… *taking a few steps back* Buuuut on that note, I should probably skedaddle~
Daniel: *climbs out of the water, growing bigger* CinderPLUME!!!!
Singe: *fluffs up and starts running away* Shit shit shit! AAAAAH!!
Daniel: Get back here!!! *chases him*
  Sitting calmly on the steps of Willow’s den, she and Mako calmly drank tea and ate some food as they just spent the time relaxing in the company of the passing dragons. Their ears perked and they turned their heads as Singe ran past them, screaming loudly as he was followed by a very large and very angry Daniel.
Mako: …… What did they do this time... ? *groans*
Willow: *fluffs up and stares* Oh dear… Maybe bringing Cinder along wasn’t such a good idea…. *looks at Mako* Do you think you could go break them up before one of them...mainly Cinderplume doesn’t get hurt..?
Mako: …… *tries not to look at her and sips his tea* Hmmmmm….
Willow: ….. Mako.
Mako: *siiiiigh* Fine…. But I make no promises that he’ll be in one piece. *sets his cup down and gets up, walking calmly… and very slowly*
Willow: *huffs* Mako! Oh for the love of… I’ll do it myself.. Who knows what could happen though… *as she gets up*
Mako: Danny’s not going to hurt em, Willow, I’m sure Singe said something to deserve this.
Daniel: *far away* AM I FAT NOW YOU LITTLE SHIT?!?!
Singe: *far away* THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEAAAAANT!!
Mako: …. See? Fat jokes.
Willow: *ears twitch before sitting back down* … If they are making jokes, then hopefully things are working out..
Mako: I mean…. Maybe? *sees the look she’s giving him* ….. I’ll just go make sure.. *starts jogging after them*
Willow: *sips her tea, shaking her head* Cinder is so much like his father… Goodness, my hair is going to turn white by the end of this trip.
  Dodging and weaving through the village, Singe worked his way back into the farming grounds. Hurdling over the fences he soon came to an immediate stop. Not from exhaustion, but from the glowing pair of angry cat eyes staring back at him from high up in the tree.
Singe: Ah shit, not you again..! *flares out his wings and tail feathers suddenly and hops up and down* Don’t even think about it, ye fat bitch!
Stollenwurm: *HISSSSS*
Daniel: *skids to a stop, also startled by Singe’s odd stance* Wh-what…. What are you doing..?!
Singe: Shush! *hops to the side to get past the tree* Yeah, hiss to you too! That’s right, stay in your tree…. Fucking furry noodle…
Daniel: Cinder, you’re not supposed to make eye contact..!
Singe: She made eye contact with me first! COO! *wiggling his wings at her*
Stollenwurm: MROOOOOWL..! *swats her paw at him as she curls up*
Daniel: Y-you’re just- or for the love of…. *rushes past the tree and scruffs Singe by his shirt* He’s mine, ya prissy cat!
Singe: ACK! Hey! Get off me, I was doing just fine, I don’t need you protecting me all the time!
Daniel: *sets him down* I’m not protecting YOU, you’re going to scare the wits out of her..! And I really don’t want to hear Altais complain about his Stollenwurm getting harassed by you.. *gently pokes his nose with a claw*
Singe: Too late, already did.
Daniel: ……… *leeeeans before plopping onto Singe in the grass, holding him down with his weight*
Singe: AUGH!! Why?! Goodesses Danny.. If you don’t want me to make anymore fat jokes then try not crushing my ribs!
Daniel: I’m being gentle.. *eases up and purrs*
Singe: *lays there and grumbles* Hrmm… You are enjoying yourself way too much… *runs his fingers through Daniel’s fur* … Why did we start fighting again? … The first fighting and wrestling, I mean..
Daniel: ….. We were just angry… and being stupid about it..
Singe: Right right.. Too much energy and no way to get it out…… You still mad at me?
Daniel: No…. You were right… I should have been more honest with you about what happened down there…
Mako: Wait, YOU TOLD HIM?!?!?
Daniel: *flinches and lifts his head* Mm- Mako..!
Mako: What the HELL Daniel?!?!
Singe: *stares at Mako upside down* It’s your fault, you blubbering fat arse! If you didn’t get yourself captured none of this would have happened..!
Mako: Ah- … M-me, what did I do?! I was under mind control!
Singe: Bubble went there because of you!... Though I am still mad that you stabbed her, Danny.. That’s gonna take a bit for me to get over…
Mako: ….. Huh..?
Daniel: *glares at Mako* Yes, Mako… I told him about what I did to Bubble…
Mako: *ears perk* O-oh…! Oh. *stares at Singe* ……. Still mad?
Singe: *looks between the two of them*... Is there something else I should be mad about?
Mako: N-no, no, not at all! …… He almost lopped off her head too..
Daniel: ERK! *fluffs up* UNCLE!
Singe: Wait WHAT? I thought you just stabbed her! Why.. Why would you-- MMMPH?!?!
Daniel: *covers Singe’s head with his paw* Uncle…. Some privacy, PLEASE….? *snarls at him*
Mako: *griiiiiins* Mmhmm! I’ll go let Willow know you’re both fine.~ *starts walking away*
Singe: Hrmmmm….*punches Daniel’s arm*
Daniel: Mmph.. *moves his paw but stays on top of him* Alright, alright..! I’m sorry I almost killed your cousin…. Twice… *looks away, cringing a little*
Singe: What happened the SECOND time?!
Daniel: ……. I was… *thinks fast* I was under Eris’ control the second time… But, I stopped before she could make me do any major damage..
Singe: You mean besides almost kill Mako and Bubble?
Daniel: Give me a break, Cinder, everything was blurred and all I could hear was Eris’ voice..
Singe: *grumbles* Could have had a seizure there in the hive too…
Daniel: I’m sorry..! The next time I get a call that one of my family members is missing and might be dead I’ll ignore the call and go back to bed… *lays his head back down*
Singe: …….. Liar, hehehe. We both know that lie is bigger and fatter than both of our asses~
Daniel: Hmhm, I know…~ …… Still mad at me….?
Singe: *siiiighs* No.. a little salty, but no, not mad……. Are we.. good?
Daniel: … Yes…. I think so.. *lifts his head* But no more of this Mr Sunshine all the time bullshit, Cinder…. You can wear that mask for the audience in the tent… Don’t wear it for me…
Singe: *ears twitches before nodding* … Okay.. I’ll try, heh.
Daniel: *nods* Thank you… And I’ll try not to be so secretive all the time…. There’s still things about work I can’t tell you, but…. Everything else, I will share it with you..
Singe: *smiles* I understand that you kinda have to keep things a secret with work, it’s why you got chosen for your job, heh… I’ll be more honest with you too, no more hiding things and putting on a smile.
Daniel: *purrs and starts shrinking down* Thank you, Cinder..~
Singe: *pouts a little* Aww, you changed back….
Daniel: *fluffs up a little* Ah- what’s wrong with my real body..?! *pouts at him*
Singe: N-nothing! It’s…. fine, I think you still look great, you always look great…………... but it’s not a dragon…. *looks to the side and blushes*
Daniel: *ear twitches* ……*rolls off him and stands up* Goodbye Cinder.
Singe: Ah! Danny! Baby… sweetheart! I’m sorry, it’s not… I still love you! It’s just.. You’re fluffy and big and have horns *blushes more* …… It’s not like I love this you any less!
Daniel: *fluffs up* So first I’m fat, now I’m too small…?! *covers his front and back*
Singe: …….. That is an odd predicament.. *sits up* Come on, don’t be that way, I never said you were fat!
Daniel: *pouts and sits back down in the grass* Hrmm… You really like my horns…? *blushes*
Singe: *blushes and nods his head* …. And your teeth… how your mane travels down your back and on your tail a little is really cute….. And your voice gets really low and sexy..
Daniel: *face turns red and tail wags, swishing the grass around* G-good to know…~
Singe: *rubs the back of his neck* … Sorry if I made you feel like I don’t think you are pretty, I always figured you knew that already, hehehe.. You take my breath away most of the time.
Daniel: Heheh, I just… It is an odd feeling, being in either body.. I’m either not big enough for a dragon, or I’m not fit enough to be called a stallion..
Singe: *shrugs* Well, if you are comfortable and happy, that’s all that really matters, right? It shouldn’t matter what I think… but… if by any chance it does matter what I think, I love my Little Robin for who he is~
Daniel: *purrs and leans on him, nuzzling his shoulder* I love my sweet Pigeon just as he is too..~
Singe: *purrs and kisses the top of Daniel head* Good, hehehe. I ain’t changing anytime soon it seems…. Though it would be cool if I did turn into a dragon.. I wonder what I’d look like! *eyes sparkle*
Daniel: Hmmm… If I had to guess… You might have been a Beta, hmhmhm..~
Singe: You think? Nah, I’d be an Alpha! Go big or go home~ I’d be a warrior like Chu’a and Kanti, and protect the village from threats… get a huge collection of Basilisk fangs in my den, hmhmhm~
Daniel: *fluffs up* …… Yeah… No… You’re not doing that…
Singe: What? What do you mean? I could totally be a warrior!
Daniel: No..
Singe: *pouts* ….. I bet I could talk Chu’a into letting me be his Apprentice pretty easily..
Daniel: You’re right.. You could.. But I forbid it..
Singe: Forbid me? Ha! Hahaha! That’s funny, that you actually think you could stop me..~
Daniel: *pushes Singe down and sits on his chest* I forbid it..!
Singe: OOF!! Goddesses…. You can’t just sit on me forever, Danny! I’m gonna ask Chu’a!
Daniel: I can damn well try.. It’s too dangerous out here..! …… I mean…. M-maybe, with the training but- N-no! No, Apprenticeship for you..!
Singe: *glaaaares at Daniel* You can’t baby me..! I took on two full grown dragons by myself! I bested you in wrestling, oh great warrior Baelfire! I think I could do it!
Daniel: *staaaaares at Singe, before sighing with defeat* …. Just….. Please be careful….
Singe: *ears perk* …… That’s it? …. I was expecting more of a fight..
Daniel: If I could become a Warrior, maybe you can too… That’s what Chu’a believes, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken you outside the village in the first place… *looks at Singe* I might talk smack about him, but he was once my Mentor.. I trust his judgement..
Singe: … Heh.. I was kinda just joking around. *looks to the side and blushes* … but I do appreciate it.~
Daniel: *purrs* Hmhm, it’s the thought that counts…~ *stays where he is*
Singe: ……. You aren’t going to get up, are you?
Daniel: I’m pretty comfy here.. *looks up at the stars and siiiiighs* Such a pretty night…~ *wags his tail in Singe’s face, hitting him with it on purpose*
Singe: *gives a dead pan stare* ….. You are too trusting at times..
Daniel: Huh-?
Singe: *NOMS Daniel’s tail*
Daniel: EEEE!!! *fluffs up, tail twitching and lifting up* C-Cinder, d-don’t do that….! Hnnn…!~
Singe: *griiiiins and spits out fur* Hehehe~ You were practically asking for it!
Daniel: *glares at him over his shoulder, moving to lay next to him in the grass* You are such an asshole, hmhmhm..~
Singe: *wraps an arm around him and nuzzles his cheek* I know, but I’m your asshole~
Daniel: *purrs and nuzzles back* ….. An asshole that punches like a pixie… *quickly stands up and starts trotting away*
Singe: Hey!..... You are such a biiiiitch! Fuck that.. *lays in the grass* Fine, go back to your den! Alone! ………… *siiiighs as he gets up and follows after him* Little tease…
Daniel: *chuckles* My nest is a lot more comfortable than the grass anyways.. And the cattle won’t be staring either..
Singe: I have no qualms being in public, but I agree, a bed or.. nest does sound more comfortable~
Daniel: Hehehe, come on Cinder.. If I wanted to risk being seen in this place, I’d rather go to the bath tunnels…~ *trots faster, wagging his tail*
Singe: *ears perk, wings spread slightly* ……….. Oh.. that’s what you mean..
Daniel: *stops and nods* I mean…. I just want to be with you where a cow isn’t staring at me…
Singe: *blushes* I get it, hehehe, yeah screw those judgemental cows.. Not to mention Altais is probably around and make snide comments, heh.
Daniel: *shakes out his wings, grass and leaves sticking to his fur* And I’m still wet from the creak.. *staaaaares at Singe*
Singe: *griiiiins* I’d say I’m sorry… but I’m not~ *comes up behind Daniel and presses his muzzle into his wings* How about I help warm you up and give you a good preening to make up for it instead?
Daniel: That would be very much appreciated… After I saw you in the tunnels the other night, I left while damp and went to bed with wet wings… Heheh, they are a mess right now..*spreads them open in better light by a torch, showing just how bad they were*
Singe: *cringes* Oh goddesses….. Yeah you look like shit, babe.. *spreads his wings and shows how singed and messy they were* I guess we are just two peas in a pod..
Daniel: *ears spring up* Ah- Wha- what happened to your wings..?!
Singe: *stares at him* I FELL down a mountain and jumped out of TWO trees that were on fire while you WATCHED!
Daniel: *ears fold back* Er, right.. I thought.. Firedance- I-I’ll preen yours too, heheh..~
Singe: ….. I also may have caught my costume on fire and had to be put out by fire extinguishers…
Daniel: So it WAS also your fault..! *goes into his den*
Singe: I’d say that was also partially your fault too… *steps inside*
Daniel: Potato, patato, as the saying goes.. *climbs up into his nest, then tosses off his wet robes over the edge* Ick…
Singe: *smirks as he pulls off his slightly burnt shirt and crawled into the nest with him* ….. I still smell like smoke…. Thought I hear that’s an alluring smell to some dragons~ *kisses Daniel’s shoulder blade*
Daniel: *purrs* It is, heheh..~ I’ve grown to really like that scent…. Just not when you hurt yourself in the process.. *pouts a little and turns to start preening Singe’s wing*
Singe: *chuckles* Comes with the territory, I’m afraid~ *leans in and starts preening Daniel’s wings, hands gently holding his waist*
Daniel: *stretches his wings out more* …. Hey, Cinder…?
Singe: *ears perk as he pulls back, feathers clinging to his lips* Hmm?
Daniel: Snrk! *wipes the feathers off* I was wondering… Would you like to come back here again…?
Singe: *nods* Absolutely! Hehehe, I mean, given I have the time off from work, but… yeah, I think the village is amazing.
Daniel: *smiles a bit* I’m glad.. Even if you were kidding about being an Apprentice, I still want to bring you here.. I planned to before everything happened, hehehe.. This place might not be entirely my home, but it means a lot to me.. I really want to share it with you..~
Singe: *smiles* I’d like that, heh… I was being honest when I said I wish I could stay.. Sometimes I wish I could just.. runaway and start a life here. I think I could be happy… But only if you were here too.
Daniel: *ears fold back a bit, holding one of Singe’s hands* .. Why do you stay at the carnival, if that’s what you want…? You could leave whenever you wanted, find a job with a boss that isn’t a nightmare, heheh…. Bloody prick bout drained Damion dry of his money…
Singe: *ears fold back, looking to the side* …. It’s a little more complicated than that. When we head back, I’ll explain more but long story short, I don’t really have anywhere to go… I guess I just.. settled with having that kind of life.
Daniel: *ears perk a bit* You could stay with me..! *cheeks go pink* I-in my…. Apartment…
Singe: *blushes* Snrk! Hehehe, for some reason I feel like I wouldn’t exactly fit in with the Canterlot crowd… but I would love to live with you, hehe~
Daniel: *face turns bright red* Hehehe..~ If you ever get tired of Mr P’s attitude, just say the word..~ And, hey, I could probably find a better place at some point too.. I wasn’t planning on living in that apartment forever.. *continues preening Singe’s wing*
Singe: Hmhmhm, why stick to one place? We could travel all across Equestria and beyond. I have family who live in Mount Airis, we could easily move there, hehehe~
Daniel: Hmhm, that sounds amazing..~ *ears twitch before folding back* Mmm…. Hehehe……. I kind of hate myself right now… *pulls away a bit*
Singe: *ears perk* Why? What’s wrong?
Daniel: I am still on medical leave right now… When they call me back, I have to stick with my job as a guard for another four years….. I-I can’t go anywhere… *wings droop a little*
Singe: *ears fold back* …. Then we’ll have to put our travel plans on hold until then~ We can just live in Canterlot until then.. you are worth waiting for, heh~
Daniel: *looks up* …. Really..? You’d put up with goddess knows how many fresh bruises and scrapes I come home with, heheh…. For that long..?
Singe: *cringes* Not gonna say I’m not going to complain about it… But you’ve dealt with my fresh burns and singed feathers for a couple of months now, heh..
Daniel: Hmhm, and I’ll keep doing so too.. *preens a few more burned feathers*
Singe: *ears fold back* ….. Is there any way you couldn’t get stationed somewhere… less dangerous though?
Daniel: Hmm….. I will have to ask my Lieutenant.. I am not at a rank where I can request a permanent change right now.. But perhaps my station in the Eclipse could change that ruling..
Singe: *shrugs* Worth a shot I guess.. I mean, I can live being in Canterlot if nothing else.. Just isn’t the most ideal place to settle down for the long haul, ya know? *blushes a little and hides his face in Daniel’s wing*
Daniel: *blushes and nuzzles into Singe’s neck, preening the small feathers* Mmmm, I wouldn’t wanna stay there for that long either… I’m sure we’ll find someplace better..~
Singe: ….. Orpheus has a pretty big house, we could crash with him, SNRK!
Daniel: If he still owns it, maybe.. Last I heard from them, he and my friend Octavus moved in with their coltfriend..
Singe: Ah, then that’s out of the question, hehehe~ How about Ponyville? Lady and your stepfather live there….. Though I’m not sure why she’s at my Nana’s house right now. She made it seem like she was moving to Capricorn Reef..
Daniel: *ears perk, leaning on Singe more and relaxing* Hmmm, maybe they had another fight and she’s staying away for a little bit… They had very mixed views on parenting..
Singe: … Ah, that’s who you get it from then…
Daniel: *baps his shoulder* Ass, heheheh..!~
Singe: *snickers and playfully bites Daniel’s neck* Hmhmhm~
Daniel: *blushes more and purrs louder* Hnnn..~ We’ll figure something out.. I just want to focus on us, right here, right now..~ And then go back home…~
Singe: *purrs and breathes into his neck* I agree completely~
Daniel: *nuzzles into his mane and wraps his arms around him, fingers running through Singe’s hair* I missed you, Cinder..~
Singe: I missed you too, Danny~ … I’m sorry, for everything.. *nuzzles his face into Daniel’s neck, holding him tight*
Daniel: *curls his wings around him* I’m sorry too… Please don’t send me away again…
Singe: *ears fold back* … I promise I never will.. *cups Daniel’s face gently, rubbing his cheek with his thumb*
Daniel: *purrs, nuzzling into Singe’s palm* I’ll never leave you like that again…. It was a mistake.. *reaches up to rustle Singe’s plumage around his neck*
Singe: *smirks* I don’t know if it was that big of a mistake… I mean, who knows how long it would have taken you to bring me here on your own~ *grins*
Daniel: Snrk! I had to think of a good time.. I don’t know your work schedule for vacations, if any…. Though I suppose, I could have just kidnapped you and taken you regardless..~ It wouldn’t take much for a dragon my size to do that, heheheh..~
Singe: Hahaha~ You can pick me up and carry me so easily~ *reaches and cup Daniel’s thighs, lifting him and setting him on Singe’s lap* Like I weight nothing at all~
Daniel: Hmmm, I wouldn’t say anything.. You did feel a little bit heavy earlier.. I guess there’s more muscle here than I thought there was..~ *wraps his legs around Singe’s hips, feeling his arm muscle*
Singe: Snrk! Now you are just buttering me up~ *kisses and playfully bites Daniel’s neck with a low growl*
Daniel: Mmph..~ It’s working, isn’t it..? *runs his hands down Singe’s back, rubbing around the base of his tail*
Singe: *blushes softly and grin, his tailfeathers spreading wide* Hmhmhm, who do you take me for, somepony so easily swayed by sweet words and a pretty face? *claws gripping Daniel’s rump, giving his cheeks a squeeze*
Daniel: *cheeks get even redder as his tail start to lift up* Well… I did pin you to your back pretty easy..~ Your face turned a cute shade of pink for your little Robin.~
Singe: *blushes even mores and grumbles* You turn red like a cardinal,heh~ I wouldn’t say you are easy… but definitely thirsty, hmhmhm~ *as he gives Daniel’s tail a tug, petting the soft fur just near the base* So soft~
Daniel: *fluffs and stiffens up a little* Mmm!~ Aaah, no fair..!~ I never should have told you about that spot..!~ *moves his hands to run his claws down Singe’s chest and stomach, sneaking into the front of his pants*
Singe: *bites back a groan as he gave a bit of a hard bite on his neck* Mmph… Y-you ready for that, Danny? I don’t want to rush into anything if you aren’t ready..
Daniel: *nuzzles his cheek and bites Singe’s ear playfully* I am..~ I can tell you are too…~ *gently rubs and feels under Singe’s clothes*
Singe: *grunts, gripping Daniel’s thighs and cutiemark with claws* I was hoping you’d say that..~

Description

  Walking through the crowd of dragons, Daniel weaved through them to reach his den. It was as he left it at the start of the night, thankfully. Gently setting Singe down so he could stand on his own, Daniel shrunk down into his real form to give himself a break.
Singe: *rubs his hands as he looks around* … This is your den? Looks nice.. You really were serious about leaving your old life to come here, huh? It seems like you fit right in.
Daniel: *ears twitch, grabbing a cloth and a bucket of water* Yes, well, I made it like this over my many visits.. But the longer I stay here, I am starting to question my plan.. *sets the bucket down next to Singe and hands him the cloth*
Singe: *takes the cloth* Thank goddesses… Don’t get me wrong, even I wish I could stay here. This place is amazing..! Even the patrol with Chu’a.. Without the … almost getting eaten part. Could’ve done without that, heh.. *ears fold back* ……. I hope you do decide to come back. If not for me, then for your family and friends and.. That life you built for yourself.
Daniel: *looks to the side* I am still thinking about it… *ears twitch* …. Did you just come here to convince me to come home…? When I saw you the other night, I was very conflicted… I wanted to be happy to see you… But after what you said to me in that message, I was also angry…. It felt like you came to lure me back under false pretense…!
Singe: *ears fold back* With how long we’ve known each other, do you really think I’d do that, Daniel?
Daniel: *snorts* No… But it was a guess, with how I was expected to forget about you after those months….. Uncle told me he was wrong to tell us to split apart.. But I still question why you did it….. You never listen to him.. Least when he’s being stupid, heh… *ears droop flat*
Singe: Tch..! I didn’t do it for him! I could give a rat’s ass about some dead changeling queen. I did because.. I thought it was for the best.. Obviously if I had know all of THIS was going to happen then I wouldn’t have fucking done it… No one is happier this way and neither of us is better off..
Daniel: *shakes his head* It was stupid of me to come here…
Singe: Obviously. *as he stared cleaning the burns on his hand and wincing*
Daniel: *glares at him* Hrmmm… *sighs* Even Dewberry tried to stop me from leaving.. *holds up his hand, showing tiny bite marks and scratches* But she wouldn’t come with me…. She wanted me to wait, and stay….
Singe: Well, she’s here now. She wouldn’t let me come without her.. Ow. *waves his hand*
Daniel: *chuckles a bit* She’s a lot smarter than I thought she was….. St-stop.. Stop that.. Gimme..! *gently grabs his wrists*
Singe: *grunts and grumbles* I know how to take care of a burn. I’ve been doing this for longer than you’ve been alive, Daniel.. Or should I start calling you Baelfire? What does that even mean? Do you get a new name after going through dragon bootcamp or something?
Daniel: It’s the name I would have gotten if I was actually born in the village.. It means Bonfire.. *gently places his hands over Singe’s, the pain slowly ebbing away* The name is like a right of passage for “outsiders”, if you weren’t born here..
Singe: *ears twitch* … There is still so much I don’t know about this place.. So much you never told me, heh.. But I get it, they are in hiding. Would kind of defeat the point…
Daniel: …. I was planning to tell you about this place anyways…. It’s the one thing I’m most proud of, being part of it.. I wanted to share that with you, because I trust you…. Hmm… *pulls his hand away, the burns healed*
Singe: *ears spring up as he flexes his fingers* H-how?!
Daniel: *holds up his necklace* Grandmother, heheh… Without this I wouldn’t be able to use magic like this, or even maintain my dragon form for as long as I did.. It’s very draining for me because I’m not a unicorn like her, or my sister.. *holds up his mane, the tips faintly turned white*
Singe: … Your grandmother seemed like she was an amazing mare. Chu’a and Kanti speak very highly of her..
Daniel: *nods* She’s really something.. I wish I could tell her how much I appreciate her help more often..
Singe: *smirks* I’m sure she knows.. She’s probably still watching over you, somewhere.. *waves his hand*
Daniel: I know she is.. *ear twitches as he looks at his gem* Sometimes when not invited………… Yes I mean you!
Singe: *ears twitch* …. Are you talking to the crystal? Danny….*giving him a concerned look*
Daniel: *waves his hand* I’ll explain it to you another time.. It’s something else I wanted to share with you, but… I never really saw a good time for it..
Singe: *grimaces and snorts* …. Whatever, I’m used to you and your secrets by this point.. *uses the cloth to clean his face* Frankly, I think I’ve just stopped caring. I don’t even want to know anymore secrets..! It’s just… nothing but bad.
Daniel: *ears fold back* Goddesses… You still hate me for not telling you about the hive..?
Singe: Does it really matter what I think, Daniel?!
Daniel: Of course it does, it’s just-... Wh-what happened in there…. *thinks back to how Eris revealed Imago’s secret* …. You might not be able to handle it… and just hate me more..
Singe: *puts his hand up to stop him* I already said, I don’t want to know! I’m done with secrets, I’d rather be in the dark then… learn some truths.. And if that truth is you don’t trust me or you are a horrible pony somehow, I don’t want to know it… I just want to live in ignorant bliss..
Daniel: … If that's how you really feel…. *looks to the side*
Singe: Do I really have a choice? *shakes his head and puts the cloth down*
Daniel: You do….. And, if you really don’t care then….. *sighs* …………. I stabbed Bubble… She was in the hive with us.. *winces*
Singe: ……….. What? You’re… joking, right?
Daniel: I stabbed her through her shoulder, because I thought she was a drone in disguise to hurt Uncle… *takes a few arm length steps away from Singe*
Singe: *takes a few steps closer* You STABBED MY COUSIN?! What… what the hell is WRONG with you?!
Daniel: I told you you couldn’t handle it! *dodges him and jumps into his nest above*
Singe: Couldn’t-- I couldn’t handle it?! No wonder Mako wants us to break up! Goddesses, are you serious?! What was she doing there in the first place? You could have killed her! She could have died! *shakes his head* ….. This all makes so much more sense now… Bloody hell.. YOU are an idiot. Mako is an idiot… And I’m gonna pimp slap Bubble when we get back home, I swear the Luna’s fat arse!
Daniel: *peaks at him from his nest* I told you it would be too much for you.. *stops him before he can speak* I-I told Bubble she should have stayed behind, but she wanted to find Uncle herself..! And Mother didn’t argue with her, she just BROUGHT her with us..! I told you it was dangerous… I attacked Bubble on my own, yes, but I tried to KILL Uncle under Eris’ control…! If you had been there too, I--..... I don’t want to think of what I might’ve done to you too… *cringing internally as he covers the real lie*
Singe: *pants and grumbles and growls* Hrmm……. *lets out a deep breath* Deep breaths, gentle hands… *rubs the bridge of his muzzle* Okay…. Okay! Fine, that.. Makes sense.. I guess… But see, we aren’t even dating anymore, and I’m coming to an understanding! Imagine how much smoother this could have gone if you had just told me from the beginning?!
Daniel: *stares at him* Oh yes, I’m sure the break up would have been in person and not a low blow text message instead….
Singe: *points at him* You were the one who stormed out of the trailer saying we shouldn’t have ever met and you weren’t answering your phone! I wouldn’t have broken up with you over stabbing my cousin! If you killed her, maybe!
Daniel: Surprising what a difference a few inches away from a lung or heart makes.. *snorts* I didn’t mean what I said when I left, I was just angry…! You got so defensive thinking I implied you couldn’t take care of yourself..! I was just worried about you..! Or is that against the rule of your trailer where you can dote on me like I’m an infant but I can’t raise a finger to help you out!
Singe: You ARE practically an infant! And you were having stress activated seizures and not taking care of yourself worth SHIT! I’ve been on my own for nearly 10 years, there is a difference!
Daniel: You--! ………… Hrmm…. Alright, you have me on that one… But it’s not exactly easy growing this quickly you know..! One year I’m a toddler and the next three I have to live on my own..! *sighs* Time just moves differently in my eyes.. I admit, I was stupid to think I was indestructable..
Singe: Good!
Daniel: But you were a complete asshole to break up with me in a text and not even explain to me why in person! Did you even try to look for me?! I was hunting coons in the woods!
Singe: *squints at him*.... How would I possibly know that? No, I didn’t look for you, I was going through a mental breakdown at the moment..!
Daniel: *ears perk* What..? Why..?
Singe: *ears fold back* And then you decided to skip town the next morning, when would I have had any time to explain anything to you?! You went from zero to a hundred in 3 seconds and was gone! Why do you even think I’m here?!
Daniel: *stares quietly before jumping down from his nest* So you’re dumping me in person and THEN explaining it to me..?
Singe: *stares at Daniel, swallowing hard* … I don’t really want to do either, to be honest..
Daniel: Then why did you send me that text..?!
Singe: I.. I needed a break. That’s what I typed, wasn’t it? I just.. There was too much going on, and I couldn’t handle everything crashing down on me at the same time.. I couldn’t.. do it anymore. I couldn’t be me, I couldn’t be there for you, I could barely hold myself together. It was either I took a step back or I was going to lose my grip..! *his wing tensed* … And I didn’t want you there to see that happen..
Daniel: *stares at him silently, ears folding back a bit* …. What did happen, Cinder…? *takes a step closer*
Singe: *ears fold back flat* … It’s hard to explain.. Not without you hating me more than you already do… Maybe that’s why I sent you the text message, so I didn’t have to deal with… this.. *referencing with his hands* … Like a coward, heh..
Daniel: *shakes his head* I don’t hate you, Cinder… I was mad, but I couldn’t hate you…. I loved you… and I still do..
Singe: *stares at Daniel* …. I slept with Maggie.
Daniel: …….. *takes a deep breath* …… What? *arm twitches like he is ready to slap a bitch*
Singe: *puts his hands up* It was months ago, before we even met. Maggie and I used to sleep together but that ended months ago.
Daniel: *muscles relax and feathers lay down flat on his neck* Huh… It didn’t seem like it ended well, with how she acted at the bar during lunch…
Singe: I’m getting to that… It did end well, we were still friends… up until she lost the baby…. Until she lost, my baby.
Daniel: *ears perk, eyes widening a little bit* ….. Your, baby….?
Singe: *nods and swallows hard, trying to keep himself together* I went to the Mix after our fight, to.. vent mostly. Maggie used to be my go-to pony when shit was hitting the fan… but she wasn’t having it and purposely was making things worse.. Things escalated and she told me I was the father… *shakes his head, looking down* … Not that it matters really… I mean, even if the foal did survive, she wouldn’t have told me… Rather have no father at all then have a deadbeat like me in their life..
Daniel: *ears fold back a bit, absorbing all the information* …. So that’s why you said, I would be better off…. In the text….. *ears droop back* Goddesses, Cinder..
Singe: *puts his hands up* I get it, I.. overreacted, and shouldn’t have texted you at all! I should have just slept it off and thought it over with a clear head or.. Find you, I don’t know… my head wasn’t in the right place, I wasn’t thinking clearly and fucked up.
Daniel: *shakes his head a bit* Cinder… *steps closer*
Singe: *ears fold back* But in my defense, I didn’t think you’d jump off the rails like you did and ditch town..! And no, I’m still not okay! I’m still trying to hold my shit together… It’s like I’m walking along the edge of that fucking cliff again and just one wrong step and I’ll loose my grip..
Daniel: *more firmly* Cinderplume..!
Singe: *fluffs up* What?!
Daniel: *grabs his arm and pulls him into a tight hug* Don’t be stupid..!
Singe: *stands there* …. Uh, I’ve been told that’s kind of hard for me…
Daniel: Shut up…. I’m sorry I left.. I can’t imagine what it felt like to hear all of that in one night….. But I wouldn’t have thought less of you like Margarite did… The only thing I would have wanted was to try and help you through this… You’re not a deadbeat.. You’re not stupid….. All the time…. You’re Cinder.. Goddesses, you came all this way to explain it to me and I didn’t do anything but try to send you away because I wasn’t thinking…. Now that I know, I just want to be there for you… Like you were for me…
Singe: *ears fold back* …. That was kinda shitty of you, heh… You are a real bitch sometimes..
Daniel: I know… I was your bitch though…
Singe: *inhales sharply* …. No, but I wish you were sometimes…
Daniel: Huh..?
Singe: Don’t worry about it.. *gently pushes Daniel away* Look… I came here to try and explain why I needed the break.. I don’t need pity though. I can get through this and eventually, someday, I’ll go back to being Mr Sunshine again.. But right now, it’s not happening…
Daniel: …………… *punches Singe’s arm* Idiot!
Singe: *fluffs up* Ow! What you do that for?! *rubs his arm*
Daniel: Is THAT what you think I want from you..?! Sunshine and smiles and joy all the time..?!
Singe: *ears fold back* Yes! That’s what ponies want! They don’t want to deal with the shitty reality of the outside world. That’s why I do what I do for a living. That’s why I always try so hard to make you happy…. Because seeing you smile was the world to me..
Daniel: ……… *punches his other arm*
Singe: OW!! Cut that out, I’m not afraid to punch an infant! ……………….. I shouldn’t have said that… *back peddles* ACK!
Daniel:*grabs him and drags him into a chair on the other side of the room* Idiot! Stupid, stupid, stupid idiot!
Singe: *pouts in the chair* I heard you the first time, sheesh..
Daniel: Cinder, it’s your job to look happy under the tent, but it’s not your job to always be that way around me just so I’m the only one smiling…! My problem is something you can’t fix! I’m not with you just because you make me laugh, and feel happy all hours of the day with no care in the world.. I’m with you because you are REAL… I want to be there for you when you’re happy, or sad, hurt and in pain…. I don’t want you to put on a fake smile for me when you’re down…. I don’t want Singe the firedancer… I want Cinderplume…
Singe: *ears perk, cheeks pink* …… *looks down, trying to process this* …….
Daniel: ….. *ears fold back a bit* … I’m sorry I hit you.. *rubs his arm*
Singe: …. I’m sorry I called you an infant.. I know how much that bothers you…
Daniel: *snorts* I can deal with my family treating me like a baby…. But not you.. *mouth twitches before smiling* That’s why I fell for you, heh… You thought I was cool, and strong, and could handle myself in better situations…. You treated me like a pony…
Singe: *smiles a little* I still think you are pretty badass, heh.. Especially today with how you stared down those Rogues… and saved my tailfeathers again. *looks to the side and grimaces* ….. I guess I really am worthless in a fight.
Daniel: …. Are you kidding me..? I saw what you did to those Rogues. You fended off two fully grown dragons that tried to eat you, by yourself..! I was watching!
Singe: ………. How long were you watching? What, you were just gonna wait until I was already in their mouths or something?!
Daniel: *fluffs* N-not exactly, no..! I arrived around the time one of them had you pinned down…. And then you smashed his knuckles with a rock..
Singe: That was in the very beginning! I had to jump from TWO burning trees!
Daniel: *puts a hand to his mouth* The point is! You handled it on your own for a good while…! You didn’t need help until the end.. You’re not worthless, Cinder..
Singe: *glares at him* Hrmm…. Well obviously..! Otherwise I’d be dragon chow because of my incompetent coltfriend!
Daniel: ……. I’m going to hit you again..
Singe: I’m gonna hit you back if you do!
Daniel: I’m not afraid to fight a man-child…
Singe: *growls and slaps Daniel hard on the butt*
Daniel: AAAH! *jumps and covers his flank* …… *cheeks turn pink, then looks away* Hrmm… Lucky shot..
Singe: *stands up and cracks his knuckles* That’s what I thought… We may not be in my trailer, but it’s still my rules..
Daniel: *looks up* …… *chuckles* Oh, no… Not in MY den…
Singe: Ha! No offense but I’m not taking threats from a half pint little robin~ *as he pats Daniel’s head*
Daniel: *tail twitches, letting out a purr and stepping closer to nuzzle his chest* Hmmm, I’m still “Little Robin”, huh..?~ *curls his tail around him*
Singe: *ears spring up, face turning red* U-uh… I mean… if you don’t want to be.. *looks to the side, trying not to fluff up too much*
Daniel: Aw, Cinder…~ *rubs his chest and purrs into his neck….. Before sweeping Singe’s legs and pinning him to the floor* Nothing would make me happier.~
Singe: OOF! Oooow… you are so violent when you are pissy… geez.. *pushes up with his wings and swings his leg around, pinning Daniel on his back, pressing his arm lightly on Daniel’s neck* … I’m just trying to be nice, you could be a little grateful..~ *griiiiiins*
Daniel: HMMMPH! *coughs a bit, but purrs* Heheh, I was wondering when you’d stop treating me like I’m made of glass…~ *slaps Singe’s cheek* You’re still an idiot though…
Singe: *glares at him* … Am I now? *stands up and throws Daniel over his shoulder* I’m the idiot? Or are you the idiot for choosing to be with the idiot… I think we need to have The Talk… *as he takes him outside the den*
Daniel: *fluffs up* What- HEY! What are you doing?! *tries to wriggle free*
Singe: *keeps walking* Just so you know, I never thought that you were made of glass. Infact, I knew you were a hot headed little shit from the very beginning from Mako’s stories… I think it’s time for you to cool off… *and throws Daniel into a nearby creek*.. Yeet.
Daniel: AAAACK! PPPPPPT! *spits out water* You did NOT just do that…!
Singe: *inhales and exhales loudly* Aaaaaah! That feels so much better. Like this huge WEIGHT being lifted off my shoulders~
Daniel: …. Did you just call me FAT…?!
Singe:... No, I’m not that big of an idiot… *taking a few steps back* Buuuut on that note, I should probably skedaddle~
Daniel: *climbs out of the water, growing bigger* CinderPLUME!!!!
Singe: *fluffs up and starts running away* Shit shit shit! AAAAAH!!
Daniel: Get back here!!! *chases him*
  Sitting calmly on the steps of Willow’s den, she and Mako calmly drank tea and ate some food as they just spent the time relaxing in the company of the passing dragons. Their ears perked and they turned their heads as Singe ran past them, screaming loudly as he was followed by a very large and very angry Daniel.
Mako: …… What did they do this time... ? *groans*
Willow: *fluffs up and stares* Oh dear… Maybe bringing Cinder along wasn’t such a good idea…. *looks at Mako* Do you think you could go break them up before one of them...mainly Cinderplume doesn’t get hurt..?
Mako: …… *tries not to look at her and sips his tea* Hmmmmm….
Willow: ….. Mako.
Mako: *siiiiigh* Fine…. But I make no promises that he’ll be in one piece. *sets his cup down and gets up, walking calmly… and very slowly*
Willow: *huffs* Mako! Oh for the love of… I’ll do it myself.. Who knows what could happen though… *as she gets up*
Mako: Danny’s not going to hurt em, Willow, I’m sure Singe said something to deserve this.
Daniel: *far away* AM I FAT NOW YOU LITTLE SHIT?!?!
Singe: *far away* THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEAAAAANT!!
Mako: …. See? Fat jokes.
Willow: *ears twitch before sitting back down* … If they are making jokes, then hopefully things are working out..
Mako: I mean…. Maybe? *sees the look she’s giving him* ….. I’ll just go make sure.. *starts jogging after them*
Willow: *sips her tea, shaking her head* Cinder is so much like his father… Goodness, my hair is going to turn white by the end of this trip.
  Dodging and weaving through the village, Singe worked his way back into the farming grounds. Hurdling over the fences he soon came to an immediate stop. Not from exhaustion, but from the glowing pair of angry cat eyes staring back at him from high up in the tree.
Singe: Ah shit, not you again..! *flares out his wings and tail feathers suddenly and hops up and down* Don’t even think about it, ye fat bitch!
Stollenwurm: *HISSSSS*
Daniel: *skids to a stop, also startled by Singe’s odd stance* Wh-what…. What are you doing..?!
Singe: Shush! *hops to the side to get past the tree* Yeah, hiss to you too! That’s right, stay in your tree…. Fucking furry noodle…
Daniel: Cinder, you’re not supposed to make eye contact..!
Singe: She made eye contact with me first! COO! *wiggling his wings at her*
Stollenwurm: MROOOOOWL..! *swats her paw at him as she curls up*
Daniel: Y-you’re just- or for the love of…. *rushes past the tree and scruffs Singe by his shirt* He’s mine, ya prissy cat!
Singe: ACK! Hey! Get off me, I was doing just fine, I don’t need you protecting me all the time!
Daniel: *sets him down* I’m not protecting YOU, you’re going to scare the wits out of her..! And I really don’t want to hear Altais complain about his Stollenwurm getting harassed by you.. *gently pokes his nose with a claw*
Singe: Too late, already did.
Daniel: ……… *leeeeans before plopping onto Singe in the grass, holding him down with his weight*
Singe: AUGH!! Why?! Goodesses Danny.. If you don’t want me to make anymore fat jokes then try not crushing my ribs!
Daniel: I’m being gentle.. *eases up and purrs*
Singe: *lays there and grumbles* Hrmm… You are enjoying yourself way too much… *runs his fingers through Daniel’s fur* … Why did we start fighting again? … The first fighting and wrestling, I mean..
Daniel: ….. We were just angry… and being stupid about it..
Singe: Right right.. Too much energy and no way to get it out…… You still mad at me?
Daniel: No…. You were right… I should have been more honest with you about what happened down there…
Mako: Wait, YOU TOLD HIM?!?!?
Daniel: *flinches and lifts his head* Mm- Mako..!
Mako: What the HELL Daniel?!?!
Singe: *stares at Mako upside down* It’s your fault, you blubbering fat arse! If you didn’t get yourself captured none of this would have happened..!
Mako: Ah- … M-me, what did I do?! I was under mind control!
Singe: Bubble went there because of you!... Though I am still mad that you stabbed her, Danny.. That’s gonna take a bit for me to get over…
Mako: ….. Huh..?
Daniel: *glares at Mako* Yes, Mako… I told him about what I did to Bubble…
Mako: *ears perk* O-oh…! Oh. *stares at Singe* ……. Still mad?
Singe: *looks between the two of them*... Is there something else I should be mad about?
Mako: N-no, no, not at all! …… He almost lopped off her head too..
Daniel: ERK! *fluffs up* UNCLE!
Singe: Wait WHAT? I thought you just stabbed her! Why.. Why would you-- MMMPH?!?!
Daniel: *covers Singe’s head with his paw* Uncle…. Some privacy, PLEASE….? *snarls at him*
Mako: *griiiiiins* Mmhmm! I’ll go let Willow know you’re both fine.~ *starts walking away*
Singe: Hrmmmm….*punches Daniel’s arm*
Daniel: Mmph.. *moves his paw but stays on top of him* Alright, alright..! I’m sorry I almost killed your cousin…. Twice… *looks away, cringing a little*
Singe: What happened the SECOND time?!
Daniel: ……. I was… *thinks fast* I was under Eris’ control the second time… But, I stopped before she could make me do any major damage..
Singe: You mean besides almost kill Mako and Bubble?
Daniel: Give me a break, Cinder, everything was blurred and all I could hear was Eris’ voice..
Singe: *grumbles* Could have had a seizure there in the hive too…
Daniel: I’m sorry..! The next time I get a call that one of my family members is missing and might be dead I’ll ignore the call and go back to bed… *lays his head back down*
Singe: …….. Liar, hehehe. We both know that lie is bigger and fatter than both of our asses~
Daniel: Hmhm, I know…~ …… Still mad at me….?
Singe: *siiiighs* No.. a little salty, but no, not mad……. Are we.. good?
Daniel: … Yes…. I think so.. *lifts his head* But no more of this Mr Sunshine all the time bullshit, Cinder…. You can wear that mask for the audience in the tent… Don’t wear it for me…
Singe: *ears twitches before nodding* … Okay.. I’ll try, heh.
Daniel: *nods* Thank you… And I’ll try not to be so secretive all the time…. There’s still things about work I can’t tell you, but…. Everything else, I will share it with you..
Singe: *smiles* I understand that you kinda have to keep things a secret with work, it’s why you got chosen for your job, heh… I’ll be more honest with you too, no more hiding things and putting on a smile.
Daniel: *purrs and starts shrinking down* Thank you, Cinder..~
Singe: *pouts a little* Aww, you changed back….
Daniel: *fluffs up a little* Ah- what’s wrong with my real body..?! *pouts at him*
Singe: N-nothing! It’s…. fine, I think you still look great, you always look great…………... but it’s not a dragon…. *looks to the side and blushes*
Daniel: *ear twitches* ……*rolls off him and stands up* Goodbye Cinder.
Singe: Ah! Danny! Baby… sweetheart! I’m sorry, it’s not… I still love you! It’s just.. You’re fluffy and big and have horns *blushes more* …… It’s not like I love this you any less!
Daniel: *fluffs up* So first I’m fat, now I’m too small…?! *covers his front and back*
Singe: …….. That is an odd predicament.. *sits up* Come on, don’t be that way, I never said you were fat!
Daniel: *pouts and sits back down in the grass* Hrmm… You really like my horns…? *blushes*
Singe: *blushes and nods his head* …. And your teeth… how your mane travels down your back and on your tail a little is really cute….. And your voice gets really low and sexy..
Daniel: *face turns red and tail wags, swishing the grass around* G-good to know…~
Singe: *rubs the back of his neck* … Sorry if I made you feel like I don’t think you are pretty, I always figured you knew that already, hehehe.. You take my breath away most of the time.
Daniel: Heheh, I just… It is an odd feeling, being in either body.. I’m either not big enough for a dragon, or I’m not fit enough to be called a stallion..
Singe: *shrugs* Well, if you are comfortable and happy, that’s all that really matters, right? It shouldn’t matter what I think… but… if by any chance it does matter what I think, I love my Little Robin for who he is~
Daniel: *purrs and leans on him, nuzzling his shoulder* I love my sweet Pigeon just as he is too..~
Singe: *purrs and kisses the top of Daniel head* Good, hehehe. I ain’t changing anytime soon it seems…. Though it would be cool if I did turn into a dragon.. I wonder what I’d look like! *eyes sparkle*
Daniel: Hmmm… If I had to guess… You might have been a Beta, hmhmhm..~
Singe: You think? Nah, I’d be an Alpha! Go big or go home~ I’d be a warrior like Chu’a and Kanti, and protect the village from threats… get a huge collection of Basilisk fangs in my den, hmhmhm~
Daniel: *fluffs up* …… Yeah… No… You’re not doing that…
Singe: What? What do you mean? I could totally be a warrior!
Daniel: No..
Singe: *pouts* ….. I bet I could talk Chu’a into letting me be his Apprentice pretty easily..
Daniel: You’re right.. You could.. But I forbid it..
Singe: Forbid me? Ha! Hahaha! That’s funny, that you actually think you could stop me..~
Daniel: *pushes Singe down and sits on his chest* I forbid it..!
Singe: OOF!! Goddesses…. You can’t just sit on me forever, Danny! I’m gonna ask Chu’a!
Daniel: I can damn well try.. It’s too dangerous out here..! …… I mean…. M-maybe, with the training but- N-no! No, Apprenticeship for you..!
Singe: *glaaaares at Daniel* You can’t baby me..! I took on two full grown dragons by myself! I bested you in wrestling, oh great warrior Baelfire! I think I could do it!
Daniel: *staaaaares at Singe, before sighing with defeat* …. Just….. Please be careful….
Singe: *ears perk* …… That’s it? …. I was expecting more of a fight..
Daniel: If I could become a Warrior, maybe you can too… That’s what Chu’a believes, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken you outside the village in the first place… *looks at Singe* I might talk smack about him, but he was once my Mentor.. I trust his judgement..
Singe: … Heh.. I was kinda just joking around. *looks to the side and blushes* … but I do appreciate it.~
Daniel: *purrs* Hmhm, it’s the thought that counts…~ *stays where he is*
Singe: ……. You aren’t going to get up, are you?
Daniel: I’m pretty comfy here.. *looks up at the stars and siiiiighs* Such a pretty night…~ *wags his tail in Singe’s face, hitting him with it on purpose*
Singe: *gives a dead pan stare* ….. You are too trusting at times..
Daniel: Huh-?
Singe: *NOMS Daniel’s tail*
Daniel: EEEE!!! *fluffs up, tail twitching and lifting up* C-Cinder, d-don’t do that….! Hnnn…!~
Singe: *griiiiins and spits out fur* Hehehe~ You were practically asking for it!
Daniel: *glares at him over his shoulder, moving to lay next to him in the grass* You are such an asshole, hmhmhm..~
Singe: *wraps an arm around him and nuzzles his cheek* I know, but I’m your asshole~
Daniel: *purrs and nuzzles back* ….. An asshole that punches like a pixie… *quickly stands up and starts trotting away*
Singe: Hey!..... You are such a biiiiitch! Fuck that.. *lays in the grass* Fine, go back to your den! Alone! ………… *siiiighs as he gets up and follows after him* Little tease…
Daniel: *chuckles* My nest is a lot more comfortable than the grass anyways.. And the cattle won’t be staring either..
Singe: I have no qualms being in public, but I agree, a bed or.. nest does sound more comfortable~
Daniel: Hehehe, come on Cinder.. If I wanted to risk being seen in this place, I’d rather go to the bath tunnels…~ *trots faster, wagging his tail*
Singe: *ears perk, wings spread slightly* ……….. Oh.. that’s what you mean..
Daniel: *stops and nods* I mean…. I just want to be with you where a cow isn’t staring at me…
Singe: *blushes* I get it, hehehe, yeah screw those judgemental cows.. Not to mention Altais is probably around and make snide comments, heh.
Daniel: *shakes out his wings, grass and leaves sticking to his fur* And I’m still wet from the creak.. *staaaaares at Singe*
Singe: *griiiiins* I’d say I’m sorry… but I’m not~ *comes up behind Daniel and presses his muzzle into his wings* How about I help warm you up and give you a good preening to make up for it instead?
Daniel: That would be very much appreciated… After I saw you in the tunnels the other night, I left while damp and went to bed with wet wings… Heheh, they are a mess right now..*spreads them open in better light by a torch, showing just how bad they were*
Singe: *cringes* Oh goddesses….. Yeah you look like shit, babe.. *spreads his wings and shows how singed and messy they were* I guess we are just two peas in a pod..
Daniel: *ears spring up* Ah- Wha- what happened to your wings..?!
Singe: *stares at him* I FELL down a mountain and jumped out of TWO trees that were on fire while you WATCHED!
Daniel: *ears fold back* Er, right.. I thought.. Firedance- I-I’ll preen yours too, heheh..~
Singe: ….. I also may have caught my costume on fire and had to be put out by fire extinguishers…
Daniel: So it WAS also your fault..! *goes into his den*
Singe: I’d say that was also partially your fault too… *steps inside*
Daniel: Potato, patato, as the saying goes.. *climbs up into his nest, then tosses off his wet robes over the edge* Ick…
Singe: *smirks as he pulls off his slightly burnt shirt and crawled into the nest with him* ….. I still smell like smoke…. Thought I hear that’s an alluring smell to some dragons~ *kisses Daniel’s shoulder blade*
Daniel: *purrs* It is, heheh..~ I’ve grown to really like that scent…. Just not when you hurt yourself in the process.. *pouts a little and turns to start preening Singe’s wing*
Singe: *chuckles* Comes with the territory, I’m afraid~ *leans in and starts preening Daniel’s wings, hands gently holding his waist*
Daniel: *stretches his wings out more* …. Hey, Cinder…?
Singe: *ears perk as he pulls back, feathers clinging to his lips* Hmm?
Daniel: Snrk! *wipes the feathers off* I was wondering… Would you like to come back here again…?
Singe: *nods* Absolutely! Hehehe, I mean, given I have the time off from work, but… yeah, I think the village is amazing.
Daniel: *smiles a bit* I’m glad.. Even if you were kidding about being an Apprentice, I still want to bring you here.. I planned to before everything happened, hehehe.. This place might not be entirely my home, but it means a lot to me.. I really want to share it with you..~
Singe: *smiles* I’d like that, heh… I was being honest when I said I wish I could stay.. Sometimes I wish I could just.. runaway and start a life here. I think I could be happy… But only if you were here too.
Daniel: *ears fold back a bit, holding one of Singe’s hands* .. Why do you stay at the carnival, if that’s what you want…? You could leave whenever you wanted, find a job with a boss that isn’t a nightmare, heheh…. Bloody prick bout drained Damion dry of his money…
Singe: *ears fold back, looking to the side* …. It’s a little more complicated than that. When we head back, I’ll explain more but long story short, I don’t really have anywhere to go… I guess I just.. settled with having that kind of life.
Daniel: *ears perk a bit* You could stay with me..! *cheeks go pink* I-in my…. Apartment…
Singe: *blushes* Snrk! Hehehe, for some reason I feel like I wouldn’t exactly fit in with the Canterlot crowd… but I would love to live with you, hehe~
Daniel: *face turns bright red* Hehehe..~ If you ever get tired of Mr P’s attitude, just say the word..~ And, hey, I could probably find a better place at some point too.. I wasn’t planning on living in that apartment forever.. *continues preening Singe’s wing*
Singe: Hmhmhm, why stick to one place? We could travel all across Equestria and beyond. I have family who live in Mount Airis, we could easily move there, hehehe~
Daniel: Hmhm, that sounds amazing..~ *ears twitch before folding back* Mmm…. Hehehe……. I kind of hate myself right now… *pulls away a bit*
Singe: *ears perk* Why? What’s wrong?
Daniel: I am still on medical leave right now… When they call me back, I have to stick with my job as a guard for another four years….. I-I can’t go anywhere… *wings droop a little*
Singe: *ears fold back* …. Then we’ll have to put our travel plans on hold until then~ We can just live in Canterlot until then.. you are worth waiting for, heh~
Daniel: *looks up* …. Really..? You’d put up with goddess knows how many fresh bruises and scrapes I come home with, heheh…. For that long..?
Singe: *cringes* Not gonna say I’m not going to complain about it… But you’ve dealt with my fresh burns and singed feathers for a couple of months now, heh..
Daniel: Hmhm, and I’ll keep doing so too.. *preens a few more burned feathers*
Singe: *ears fold back* ….. Is there any way you couldn’t get stationed somewhere… less dangerous though?
Daniel: Hmm….. I will have to ask my Lieutenant.. I am not at a rank where I can request a permanent change right now.. But perhaps my station in the Eclipse could change that ruling..
Singe: *shrugs* Worth a shot I guess.. I mean, I can live being in Canterlot if nothing else.. Just isn’t the most ideal place to settle down for the long haul, ya know? *blushes a little and hides his face in Daniel’s wing*
Daniel: *blushes and nuzzles into Singe’s neck, preening the small feathers* Mmmm, I wouldn’t wanna stay there for that long either… I’m sure we’ll find someplace better..~
Singe: ….. Orpheus has a pretty big house, we could crash with him, SNRK!
Daniel: If he still owns it, maybe.. Last I heard from them, he and my friend Octavus moved in with their coltfriend..
Singe: Ah, then that’s out of the question, hehehe~ How about Ponyville? Lady and your stepfather live there….. Though I’m not sure why she’s at my Nana’s house right now. She made it seem like she was moving to Capricorn Reef..
Daniel: *ears perk, leaning on Singe more and relaxing* Hmmm, maybe they had another fight and she’s staying away for a little bit… They had very mixed views on parenting..
Singe: … Ah, that’s who you get it from then…
Daniel: *baps his shoulder* Ass, heheheh..!~
Singe: *snickers and playfully bites Daniel’s neck* Hmhmhm~
Daniel: *blushes more and purrs louder* Hnnn..~ We’ll figure something out.. I just want to focus on us, right here, right now..~ And then go back home…~
Singe: *purrs and breathes into his neck* I agree completely~
Daniel: *nuzzles into his mane and wraps his arms around him, fingers running through Singe’s hair* I missed you, Cinder..~
Singe: I missed you too, Danny~ … I’m sorry, for everything.. *nuzzles his face into Daniel’s neck, holding him tight*
Daniel: *curls his wings around him* I’m sorry too… Please don’t send me away again…
Singe: *ears fold back* … I promise I never will.. *cups Daniel’s face gently, rubbing his cheek with his thumb*
Daniel: *purrs, nuzzling into Singe’s palm* I’ll never leave you like that again…. It was a mistake.. *reaches up to rustle Singe’s plumage around his neck*
Singe: *smirks* I don’t know if it was that big of a mistake… I mean, who knows how long it would have taken you to bring me here on your own~ *grins*
Daniel: Snrk! I had to think of a good time.. I don’t know your work schedule for vacations, if any…. Though I suppose, I could have just kidnapped you and taken you regardless..~ It wouldn’t take much for a dragon my size to do that, heheheh..~
Singe: Hahaha~ You can pick me up and carry me so easily~ *reaches and cup Daniel’s thighs, lifting him and setting him on Singe’s lap* Like I weight nothing at all~
Daniel: Hmmm, I wouldn’t say anything.. You did feel a little bit heavy earlier.. I guess there’s more muscle here than I thought there was..~ *wraps his legs around Singe’s hips, feeling his arm muscle*
Singe: Snrk! Now you are just buttering me up~ *kisses and playfully bites Daniel’s neck with a low growl*
Daniel: Mmph..~ It’s working, isn’t it..? *runs his hands down Singe’s back, rubbing around the base of his tail*
Singe: *blushes softly and grin, his tailfeathers spreading wide* Hmhmhm, who do you take me for, somepony so easily swayed by sweet words and a pretty face? *claws gripping Daniel’s rump, giving his cheeks a squeeze*
Daniel: *cheeks get even redder as his tail start to lift up* Well… I did pin you to your back pretty easy..~ Your face turned a cute shade of pink for your little Robin.~
Singe: *blushes even mores and grumbles* You turn red like a cardinal,heh~ I wouldn’t say you are easy… but definitely thirsty, hmhmhm~ *as he gives Daniel’s tail a tug, petting the soft fur just near the base* So soft~
Daniel: *fluffs and stiffens up a little* Mmm!~ Aaah, no fair..!~ I never should have told you about that spot..!~ *moves his hands to run his claws down Singe’s chest and stomach, sneaking into the front of his pants*
Singe: *bites back a groan as he gave a bit of a hard bite on his neck* Mmph… Y-you ready for that, Danny? I don’t want to rush into anything if you aren’t ready..
Daniel: *nuzzles his cheek and bites Singe’s ear playfully* I am..~ I can tell you are too…~ *gently rubs and feels under Singe’s clothes*
Singe: *grunts, gripping Daniel’s thighs and cutiemark with claws* I was hoping you’d say that..~
