Drag'n'Drop Part11
After receiving some good feedback from some good people, I have decided to slow down and actually add some detail about the world of Drag'n'Drop.
Its 10k words, so get a cup of tea or grab some noodles, put a blanket over you and pretend its Neebis's wing and enjoy.
P.S I had a lot of fun sneaking in easter eggs into this (because easter is coming up) so comment at the end how many you found.
"Do you see anything you like?" Asked the friendly sales representative. Her polite smile both charming and disarming too Neebis and Reevian as they looked at the jewellery in the glass cabinet. Lights in the corners of the cabinet causing the silver, gold and gems to sparkle as the couple moved their heads trying to get a closer look.
"We... We are looking for something special... Claire" Reevain adding the humans name after quickly glancing at her name tag. "We are mates and we want something to symbolise that" she said and returning her gaze back to the cabinet.
"Oh congratulations! That's so nice too see" Reevian and Neebis missed Claires glance at Reevians swollen belly. "Are you looking for a pendant? Or maybe a ring?" She offered, her hands behind her back. Neebis noticed that everything about her was tight, from her hair held in a tight bob, to her black waste coat over her white blouse.
"We work with food, so maybe something that won't get in the way or get caught on anything" Neebis said. Never before had he seen such wealth in such small things. Looking at the price tags of some of the items, he had to stop his jaw dropping.
"Of course, perhaps a bracelet?" She said and gestured towards a cabinet of different options. Neebis and Reevian followed her gesture and peered into the cabinet.
Neebis draped a wing over his mate "What do you think?" He said.
"Could I try that one" Reevian asked and pointed to a simple silver band. Claire ducked behind the counter and returned with the bracelet. Reevian held out a paw and cupped her toes together so Clair could slip it over her wrist.
The silver complimented her teal scales and she moved her wrist to see if it limited motion. She twisted her wrist and the bracket could be heard jangling against her scales.
"What do you think?" Asked Claire with a smile.
"What do you think Neebis?" She said and held out her paw to him.
He could tell she wasn't completely sold on it. "I'm not sure, it's shiny, but should we try something else just in case?" He offered, trying to be polite to Claire and his mate.
"Do you have anything that won't make a noise when I walk?" Reevain said and took off the bracelet.
"What about a horn band?" She asked and returned the unwanted bracket to the cabinet.
"Ooh, ive heard of those!" Exclaimed Reevian.
"They are becoming all the rage now" encouraged Claire. She held up a compact measuring device and gestured for Reevain to lean forward. She placed the device at the base of Reevains horn and write down some numbers on a piece of paper.
"Ok, I think we have some blanks in your size" she gestured to Neebis to lean forward and he awkwardly did as Reevian did. He could smell Clair's fruity purfume and also the scent of another drake on her. He was curious but he felt her finish with his horn and he pulled back.
"And I think we have something for you too, I'll be right back" she said and left with the piece of paper.
Neebis pulled his mate close and whispered to her "what's a horn band?"
Reevian giggled and explained, "it's like a bracelet for one of your horns, mates usually get matching ones."
"Why not just use a bracelet and put it on your horn?" He asked looking at the cabinet Infront of him.
Reevian giggled at his ignorance, "it's usually wider than a bracelet and has fancy engravings on it, but it's made of a thinner metal so they can bend it to match your horns shape better."
Claire returned with some plain looking cylinders of silver and gold, "in theory these should fit."
"I thought they were meant to have engravings?" Asked Neebis, and Reevian let out a slight giggle. He sounded so confident for someone who just found out what they were.
"We engrave them after the fitting, we have a jeweller in house who does the final designs." She explained as she held one of the cylinders up. Reevian moved her head forward and Claire slipped the band down her horn. "I think that fits perfectly!" She said as she tested the tension. "There is a small cut on one side of the ring that will let it expand as your horns grow" she explained and held one up for Neebis. He dipped his head and she slipped it on too.
Claire and Reevian looked at each other. They had agreed that silver was their preferred metal, it wasn't as flashy as gold and was a fraction of the price. It helped that the silver stood out against his red neck frill and anything seemed to work on teal scales, or at least according to Neebis.
"Yeah?" Neebis asked and Reevian nodded. "I think we have a winner." He said to Claire.
"That's fantastic, now we can do the engraving. But we must take a payment first. If that is ok?" Said Claire with a polite smile.
"Of course" Neebis said and held up his wrist which had his tablet strapped to it. Claire picked up the payment machine and tapped it against his wrist. Neebis didn't ask for the price, his mate looked happy and he knew that this was more important than any debt.
"If you will come with me, I will take you to our jeweler Yaarnis. You won't find a better craftsmen or better channeler of magic anywhere in the city" Clair said and started to lead them through a door in the store.
Magic was not unheard of, but the tales about dragons lifting people with magic or blasting away walls with beams of energy were fairy tales destined to super dragon movies and morning cartoons. The reality is about one in every ten thousand dragons had the gift of magic and most either never found out they had it or could only do very minor things with their gifts. Lifting a phone or pen was usually the extent, being able to do it to things without seeing them was possible but distance was also a factor which limited it's practically. The primary occupations of dragons with such talents were usually quite mundane, locksmiths unlocking doors by manipulating the pins for stranded home owners or plumbers trying to find clogs in pipes by using their magic to send a rock down a pipe. Those that had the head for learning often found themselves in medical fields as they could reattach nerve endings and arteries inside the body without needing an incision or find unusual growths if they knew what they needed to sense for.
As Neebis and Reevian followed Claire they were led to a workshop which smelt faintly of a combination of smoke and machinist oil. At the back of the room there was a wooden table with an orange dragon hunched over, LED lights attached to his horns illuminating the piece he was filing with a small file, his large paws looking comical as he worked on a piece of jewelry. Claire cleared her throat as she approached, causing the dragon to look up his horn torches blinding Neebis and Reevian's sensitive eyes. Yaarnis quickly turned off the torches. "Hello my dearz" he announced, his voice thick with a foreign accent.
"Yaarnis, This is Reevian and Neebis, They have just bought some horn bands and I was wondering if you had some time today to do an engraving" Claire said, raising her eyebrows to emphasis the need for him to do this.
"Ov courze" He said with a smile "I zee that you ah expecting no?" he asked and came around from behind his desk. His height was slightly smaller than Reevian and he walked with a slight limp.
"Yes, any day now" Reevian said, she couldn't help but lift her wings slightly to show her belly.
"vell congratulationz! You look like you ah in lovez." he said with a big smile. "But! enough about zat. Horn bandz! my favorite, what would you lie engravzed?" he gestured for Reevian and Neebis to lower their heads and he took the blanks off of their horns. As Yaarnis reached up to take Neebis's horn band off, Neebis couldnt help but take in his scent, it was rich and foreign but was overpowered by the same fruity perfume that Claire wore.
"Um, no we don't" Started Reevian. "Do you have any examples we could choose from?"
"Ah my dear, unfortunately no. Each band is unique! It would not be special if it was like anotherz would it?" he said and returned to his desk, "Purhapz, you could tell us more about your zelves? Art zometimes comez from the.... how do you say?... Unexpected? No?"
Reevian looked up at Neebis who was still connecting the dots as to why Claire's perfume would be on the drake.
"We met in a marketplace" Reevian said and gave Neebis a slight nudge.
"ah, how romantic" interjected Yaarnis.
"Well, I work in the marketplace. Neebis helped me out and one thing led to another" she said and ran her paw over her belly.
Yaarnis smiled "ah, I zee, You dirty drake, gave her more dan just ze tip did you" he said and gave a throating chuckle which was infectious, causing Reevian and Neebis to smile.
"That's a good one" said Neebis. "I used to work on a farm but came to the city for a change of work."
"Ah I ze, Just like ze farmer wantz a mate televizion show no?" Yaarnis said, looking at them to make sure he said it correctly.
Reevian smiled "Well, yes, but a bit less of a competition." she wrapped a paw around his foreleg and pulled herself close. "He was a bit down on his luck and I offered to help, But it turns out he helped me" She said and leaned up to kiss his throat, causing him to smile.
"naw, zuch love is rare to zee theze dayz. You look zo happy togezer." He rotated the horn band blanks in his paws, "Perhapz... zomething with food and ze farm?" Yaarnis said as he grabbed a set of engraving tools.
Reevian looked up and Neebis and saw he was looking down, his eyes warm and nodded. "I think that would be perfect, I mainly sell noodles and other dishes." Reevian said and kissed Neebis on the snout, causing him to blush slightly.
Yaarnis clamped the horn bands into a vice and brought over a large jig for the tools he had collected.
"Hey, Claire said you use magic for your work?" Neebis asked, growing up on the farm he had never witnessed a dragon using magic, occasional circus troupes would visit the nearby town but he never got a chance to see one. Although he had heard that most of the circus dragons were frauds who used slight of hand and misdirection rather than actual magic.
"Well of courze!" he said, his eyes focused on the equipment. "I hold the toolz and let ze magic guide me" he said. He pulled out an engraver which was connected to a power outlet and turned it on, its sound ramped up to a high pitch whine which made Neebis's jaws clench. Yaarnis held the tool in his hand and rested it on the jig that held the horn bands. Neebis heard him take a deep breath and then concentrate completely on the work at hand, his paw started to twitch with the tool in it and before the couples eyes they could see the marks of the tool etching a pattern onto the horn bands.
Neebis and Reevian were engrossed in the sight before them, a pattern quickly formed and they both looked at each other and smiled. As the horn bands were rotated it became clear to see that the engraving was of leaves and fruits floating in a breeze, but the closer you looked the breeze lines were actually noodles. Neebis felt his throat go dry as he saw the perfect combination of their backgrounds be etched forever on the metal. Although he came from the country and she came from the city, they shared food in common. Reevian's paws trembled as she almost cried, the pattern could either be interpreted as either noodles with fruits in it, or it could be seen as leaves and fruits in the breeze, but neither pattern existed without each others contribution.
Reevian wiped her wet eye and heard Neebis sniffle, "Something in this store is making my eyes water" he said and cleared his throat. Reevian looked up at him and leaned her head against his neck.
"And zere you are! Two horn bandz for two loverz, just a little polish and zen you are on your way" he said as he turned off the tool and blew on the horns to clear them of swarf.
"Worth taking the day off?" Reevian said as Yaarnis took the bands over to a polishing wheel to finish them off.
Neebis tried to talk but his voice wasn't coming to him, he just nodded and pulled his mate in with his wing.
"Would you like to wear them out? or carry them with you?" Asked Claire, her voice startling the couple as they had forgotten about her.
"I think we can wear-" Neebis started before being interrupted.
"Can we carry them out" Reevian said quickly and turned to her mate to give him a nod. It was clear she had a plan and he trusted her.
"Of course, I will get a box" Claire said with a bow and returned to the main section of the store.
Yaarnis returned to the pair and offered them to them for inspection. "What do you zink?" He said with a smile, he could tell by their expressions that he had already won them over.
"You are truly an artist" Said Reevian.
"You are too kind madam." He said with a bow. Clare returned and he passed them over to her for them to be boxed.
While Claire wrapped them in a cloth and put them in a box, Neebis felt compelled to ask something. "Yaarnis, is it? I cant place your accent. Where are you from if you dont mind me asking?"
Yaarnis's eyes lit up. "Ah my drake, I come from far away. You would not know it az its name is only mentioned in hushed tones and whispers on ze wind. But it is a land of the most beautiful dezerts and oasis's. The nesses are fine and the food is to die for" He stared off into the distance for a while before shaking his head and returning back to the couple infront of him. "But we muzt not dwell on ze past! You have a bright future ahead, no?"
Claire finished the box and put it in a carry bag before offering it to Neebis. "If you would be so kind and leave a review about how your experience was. It would mean a lot to us... you know, small business and all." she said and Reevian nodded.
As Neebis and Reevian stepped outside onto the busy street, Reevian reached for her tablet that she had around her wrist, she picked at the broken screen while she waited for an app to load. Looking up at the sign on the store she confirmed it was the one. "I think a solid 5 stars is in order" she said.
"Yes, I think so too." Neebis nodded and looked up the sign for the store. "Aurelia's Adornments.... I swear I have heard that name before" he said quietly to himself.
"Do much jewelry shopping on while at the farm did you?" Reevian teased, wrapping her tail around his.
Neebis chuckled. "Well yeah. Between the ness's begging to be bred repeatedly in the stables.... Drakes gonna do what drakes gotta do" he said and dramatically stretched his body, pretending that the act made him sore.
"Uh-huh" she said with a smile and playfully shoved him with her shoulder.
"So where to now?" Neebis said, still curious about her plan she had been formulating.
"I was thinking we could go to the park, maybe have a little ceremony?" Reevian said with a little smile.
"I think that sounds amazing." Neebis said and they started to slowly walk, they were in no rush and they both needed a day together. The doubts about not being a good enough mate for Reevian were disappearing the more he spent with her. He knew that he would have to go back to recruiting vendors tomorrow, but that was tomorrow and now was a time for just him and his mate.
They walked side by side, occupying most of the side walk which caused some glances and glares from humans walking past, but they didn't care, she pushed her head against his neck and he gave her a lick on the top of her head, wrapping his wing around her once again. Steam rose from some of the grates on the sidewalk, it was always a bit of mystery for Neebis as to what caused it, but a part of him enjoyed the updraft on his wings.
They continued walking in silence for a block or so before they could see the park in the distance. "So... When you can fly..." Neebis started.
"Oh, gods I will enjoy that" Reevian exclaimed. During pregnancy it was advised against flying due to the risk of collisions, however as she was reaching full term, the strain on her back would be too much to fly anyway.
"Where would you like to go?" Neebis asked.
Reevian was deep in thought while she walked. "You know. I would mind seeing the country a bit more" She said and smiled sweetly at him.
Neebis's eyes lit up "I would be happy to show you, the green fields, the fresh air, the dirt under your paws. Sleeping under the stars! Oh Its amazing" he said, his voice filled with excitement.
Reevian chuckled. "You can take the drake out of the country, but you cant take the country out of the drake" and intertwined her tail with his.
"I will put some country drake in you!" He whispered excitedly and squeezed her tail.
Reevian snorted when she laughed, causing her to laugh more. Once she got her breath she looked up at him. "Well, what do you think the ceremony is going to entail" she said in a sultry tone. "Just you and me, in the park. For the whole world to see" She whispered and then licked his cheek. She could see his face going red and his breath hitched.
He looked down at her and looked into her eyes for a moment. "You tease" he said.
"Oh, he is getting better!" she said, happy that her mate was starting to catch onto her sense of humor. He pulled her tight against him as they crossed the road to the park, its entrance framed by a rusty steel arch with vines intertwined over it. It didn't take long for the scents of the city to become masked by the smells of freshly mowed grass and flowers.
Neebis breathed deeply, enjoying the refreshing change of scent. With his eyes closed he could almost believe he was back at the farm, unfortunately the sirens of the city stopped him from completing the picture.
"Fuck your cute" Said Reevian, laughing at her mate with his head slightly in the air and eyes closed.
"Shh you" he said his eyes still closed and breathed deep again. "let me have this moment"
Reevians frame jostled as she stifled a laugh.
"alright, moment ruined" he joked and looked down at her. "Not mates any more, its over, totally don't love you anymore" he teased and started to walk away from her. His eyes going wide when he felt her powerful jaws latch onto his tail and he stumbled back as she started to drag him in another direction. "Help! I am being eggnapped by a needy ness!"He joked loudly, causing a few passer bys to turn to see the commotion. His joke earning him a strong bite on his tail causing him to yelp and she gave a playful tug to bring him back to her.
She let go of his tail and he moved to her side once again. She leaned into him giggling to herself.
"So that dragon in the jewelers.... So you think he works close with the girl?" Neebis asked.
"Oh they be fucking for sure!" Reevain replied loudly.
"Reevian! Not so loud!" He exclaimed in a hushed voice.
"Come on, you didn't see the rings they both wore? His of a girl and hers of a dragon?" Reevain asked.
"Well, no. But I could smell them on one another. Isn't that against the rules or something?" Be asked his voice filled with confusion.
"What? It's not like it's illigal." She said and turned to his confused face. "What? Did you think it was?"
Neebis was a bit stunned, growing up he was told it was unnatural, immoral and a taboo. He looked at Reevains smile and knew she was about to make fun of him. He did is best to look serious as he spoke "well, that changes everything.... If I had have known, I would have hooked up with the girl at the coffee stall" he started, Reevains mouth opening in shock. "Or the girl who delivers the mail.... Actually the woman who sells those coloured rocks at the market, she is kind of cute.... Damn, so many options"
Reevian saw a smirk in the corner of his mouth and gave him another shove. Causing him to break character. "You just want a little human to make your shaft look big" she teased.
He stumbled back away from her with a paw on his chest dramatically "my love you wound me! I have heard no such complaints from you. Infact I remember on many occasions you screaming quite the opposite" he teased loudly "I believe your exact words were 'Oh yes, oh yes, fuck you are so big, stretch me with your giant co-" Neebis was interrupted by Reevians mouth against his, he moaned the rest of the words into her mouth and kissed her deeply. As they parted he could see her blushing slightly.
"I love you" she said, her voice rich with love and affection towards her mate.
"I think you are pretty alright" he teased and leaned in for another kiss. Her paw swatted his snout.
"Oi" she said looking stern.
"Yeah, I suppose I love you too" he said with a smile and kissed her snout. He gave her a lick between her nostrils and looked back at her, her eyes still focused on his. "I love you Reevian" he whispered sincerely and she smiled moving in for another kiss.
They continued to walk through the park, Reevains paws started to get sore and they took a break under a tree. The shade of the leaves refreshingly cool, the sun shining through the leaves casting mottled shadows over their bodies as they rested against one another.
"Did you want to put in the horn bands?" Neebis asked, enjoying the feeling of her body next to his.
Reevian looked up at him and nibbled his jaw, "I was thinking we could do a little ceremony, like the humans do" she whispered.
"Don't we need a preist or something?" Neebis asked, liking the idea.
Reevian looked around and saw a human and drake walking through the park together, the human had a camera around his neck and was taking photos of his dragon friend.
"Hold that thought" Reevain said and stood up with a groan. Neebis watched her hips sway as she walked away from him and saw her looking back, catching him staring.
Reevian approached the strangers and put on a friendly smile, "Hey. Um excuse me. Hi sorry I was wondering if I could ask something strange"
The human and drake shared a nervous look. "...sure" the human said slowly.
"My mate is over there and I was wondering if you could do something silly. We want to pretend to have a little wedding. Could you do the ordaining? It would mean the world to us." Reevain asked, she turned her head slightly as she saw them both exhale and relax, maybe they were expecting a different type of question.
"I, um.. we are flattered, but we are not qualified for that, and besides, dragons can't get married like humans can. Trust me I know" he said and glanced at the drake next to him.
Reevian caught their glance and understood. "I know, it's kind of bullshit. But could we just pretend? I'm Reevian by the way." She said and offered a paw to the human.
He gingerly took it in his hand and gave it a shake. "I'm Ben, this is my house mate Geevin"
Geevin gave a polite nod and spoke in a gravely voice "I think fuck it. They can stop us making it legal, but they can't stop us pretending"
Neebis watched his mate speak with the strangers before all three of them came over to them, he got to his feet out of politeness and have a small nod to the other drake. "Hi, I'm Neebis" he said.
"Geevin, this is Ben. So! You are getting married!" Geevin said excitedly.
"Yes, as much as we can" he said and nuzzled his mate.
"Alrighty then. Can Ben take the photos and I'll be the 'preist' " Geevin said with a polite smile.
"Please" said Reevian. "I want to remember everything"
Neebis sat opposite his mate in the shade of the tree, Geevin standing proudly between them. "I think I know how this goes" Geevin said softly, causing the couple th chuckle.
"We are gathered here today, to celebrate the joining of these two dragons, Neebis and Reevian...
As Geevin spoke Neebis looked deeply into his mates eyes, both of them filled with love and admiration for one another, he saw her start too weep and gently wiped it away with a paw, causing her to chuckle and lean into his touch.
"Reevian! Will you take this drake to be your mate, to love and cherish, through sickness and health, for richer and for poorer, for as long as you will live?" Geevis asked.
"I will" she gasped, her voice choked by tears. She reached up and slipped a horn band over one of his horns.
"And Neebis! Will you take this ness to be your mate, to love and cherish, through sickness and health, for richer and for poorer, for as long as you will live?"
"I will, I will take her when she feels good, when she feels bad if she lets me, or after a long day at work, I will take her when she is bored and needs a screw" he said, not realising that wasn't what he was meant to say. He paused when he saw Reevians smiling shocked face. He awkwardly slipped a horn band over one of her horns and smirked. "I will take her with my cock, my paw, my tail and my mouth. Whatever she so desires" he said and giggles when she gave his snout a swat.
"Well... That's not what I meant.... But sure" said Geevis awkwardly. "Well with the power invested in me by no one. I say you are now mates." He said with a smile. "You can kiss now" he whispered to the couple and the launched their mouths at each other, passionately kissing like there was no one else there.
The flickering sound of the of the cameras shutter could be heard as Ben captured the moment. Geevin moved out of the way and the couple pulled each other closer and turned to the camera.
"Alrighty love birds... Say dicks and eggs!" He said and started firing the camera while they both burst out laughing. The cameras shutter fluttered wildly as it captured Neebis and Reevain laughing and then turning to one another and kissing deeply.
Ben took the camera away from his face and scrolled through the images. "If you give me your details I'll send these over when we get back to our apartment"
Reevian pulled away from Neebis and gave her personal details to Ben. "Thank you, both of you. You have no idea how much this means to us." Said Reevian
"Please, it was good fun." Said Geevin "We wish you all the best with your egg" said Geevin with a nod and both him and Ben bid their farewells.
Reevain was smiling as she sighed and lent on Neebis. Enjoying the warmth of his scales as he wrapped her in a wing.
Neebis gently kissed her between her horns and nibbled the base of the one with a horn band on causing her to close her eyes in bliss. "So, are meant to bone to make it official?" He said with a chuckle.
"...maybe..." She said slowly. "If you are good." She added with a playful smile.
They enjoyed the moment as they sat on the lawn of the park, the wind rustling the leaves in the tree above them. He squeezed her tight against him, not wanting the moment to end.
"I need to pee" Reevain announced and he let go of her. They stood up and made their way to the parks exit. Neebis kept his wing over his mate as they walked. Joggers overtook them as they made their way to the restrooms. Neebis let go of her as she entered only for her to return quickly.
"Nope! Gods above, That's nasty!" She said as she returned to Neebis who gave her a chuckle.
"Bush?" He offered.
"Neebis! I'm a ness, not an animal!" She exclaimed.
"What? No one will see" he justified.
"Drakes!" She sighed and led Neebis over to the exit, looking up the street she spotted a cinema. "That will do"
The pavement was busy with people leaving work and they had to take their time to weave in and out of the crowd, Reevains back legs clenched together and he could tell she was getting frustrated. He held the door open for her as they made it to the cinema. The interior was almost deserted with only a few teenagers waiting for a ticket. Neebis and Reevain had a quick look around but couldn't see a restroom. As the teenagers got their ticket Neebis bounded over to the counter, startling the attendant as he almost knocked over a pole that held up the rope queue.
"Sorry, but where are your bathrooms?" He asked urgently.
"I'm sorry, bathrooms are only for paying customers." The attendant stuttered his voice breaking with pre-pubecent confidence.
"Please, my mate is pregnant."
"I'm sorry, I don't make the rules" he said, his voice still squeaking.
"Fine! Two tickets to whatever is next" he said and put his paw on the counter.
The attendant tapped the purchase machine to the dragons wrist and printed two tickets.
"Bathrooms are down the hall on the left" he said and gestured in the direction.
Neebis gave a nod to the attendant and turned to his mate who was rocking slightly in the middle of the foyer. He waved a wing in the direction and she took off quickly, her back legs almost crossed as she scampered as best she could.
Neebis walked down the hallway and waited outside the bathrooms, the smell of stale popcorn and unwashed carpets filled his senses. He felt like all of the walls were covered in carpet and wondered to himself how often they were likely cleaned.
"Woo, that was close" Reevain said as she emerged.
"Feeling better?" He asked and gave her a nuzzle.
"Much" she said and kissed his cheek.
"Well it was probably the most expensive bathroom break" he said as he held up the two tickets in his paws.
"Why did you buy two tickets?" Reevian asked with a laugh.
Neebis looked down at them, realising his mistake. "I um... I panicked." He muttered.
"Reeeeally!" She said smiling. "Well. Did you want to see the movie?"
"I don't even know what I paid to see" and passed the tickets to her.
Reevian took the tickets and read the title "I haven't seen this one, It's a fantasy romance with dragons, Want to see it?" She asked
"Well we have paid for it, how bad could it be" he said and they started to make their way to the cinema.
Reevain pressed her snout into his ear "if it's not good, I'm sure we can make it good" and smiled as she saw him shudder and then turn to her with a cheeky smile.
They entered the cinema and took their seats at the back. Large cushiones were layed out for dragons and other creatures while the rest of the cinema was seats for humans and the like.
Neebis gave the cushions a sniff and reeled back. "I don't think we are the first to make a movie good" he said.
Reevian laughed, "let's not think about that" she said as she lay down.
Neebis found a spot to lay down behind her with the least amount of stains and gingerly lay down, resting a wing on her and she crooned at his touch, leaning back to give him a nibble.
As the lights dimmed the curtains at the front of the theatre opened and the music started to play. Neebis pulled his mate close and admired how her horn band reflected the large screen. With the exception of the two teenagers at the front they had the cinema to themselves. As endless stream of ads finally finished he could tell that the two teenagers were more interested in each other than the movie.
"So what is this movie about" he whispered to Reevain.
"You haven't seen this serries before?" She said slightly amazed. She felt him shake his head. "It's really popular, it's a fantasy where a dragoness and her human rider save the land from an evil king. It's not an original story but I like that they hired dragons to act the roles of dragons."
"As opposed to hiring humans in costumes?" Neebis asked, genuinely confused as to what she could mean.
Reevian let out a loud laugh and quickly stifled it. "No silly, CGI"
Neebis chuckled at his error. The movie started quickly showed the characters meeting one another for the first time, a smaller green drake meeting a warrior type dragoness, Neebis quickly realised that he didn't understand the backgrounds of the characters but was enjoying the scenes never the less. Blue dragoness was clearly dealing with some trauma after a war and the green drake was trying to help, only to be pushed away by her. There was some build up, but even Neebis felt that when the sex scene started, it was rushed. The blue turned from a powerful ness to his mate maybe too quickly to be realistic. But as the movie continued it build to an emotional climax which left Neebis's eyes a bit damper than he would have expected.
As the lights came back on Reevain sniffed back a tear and coughed to clear her throat.
"That was pretty good" said Neebis and kissed her cheek.
"It was, it probably would have made more sense if you had watched the previous movies" Reevain said and wiped her face with a paw.
"It was still good though" he said and helped his mate stand up. As Reevian got to her feet Neebis looked over and saw that the teenagers had already left.
"It looks like we had the place to ourselves" Reevain remarked. "We could have made the movie better" teased with a smile.
"As beautiful as you are Reevain, those cushions need to be burnt. I don't think I could get excited while on them" he said and pulled her close as they made their way down the aisle of the cinema. "But when we get home..." He teased and kissed her on the neck.
"Don't make a ness a promise if your not going to back it up" she teased
"Oh, I'll back it up." He said and lept up and put his paws around her waist causing her to gasp
"Neebis!" She exclaimed.
"I'm going to back it right up" he said as he gently pulled her under him, his hot breath on her neck.
"Neebis we are in public!" She said, but she couldn't help but lift her tail slightly.
"For sickness or richer, or in public. Wasn't that what we said?" Neebis said in a low growl of desire.
"Not even close!" She said and turned to him to see his playful smirk.
He let go of her hips and hopped off her. "Well, maybe I will need a refresher when we get home" he said with a wink.
"Maybe you do!" She laughed.
Neebis and Reevian made one more bathroom stop before leaving the cinema. Night had fallen and it was raining slightly causing a chill in the air. People of all sorts were still leaving their jobs, tired looks in their eyes as they held umbrellas or newspapers above them to stay dry
Neebis inhaled and took in the smell, the scent of rain and asphalt and the city streets filled his nostrils. Neon lights from the buildings casting colourfully glows on the pavements causing clear reflections in the puddles.
Neebis turned to his mate "home?"
"Home" she confirmed. She took her place against his side and enjoyed his wing over her, sheltering her from the rain. Although dragons did not have to worry about clothes getting wet, she appreciated the gesture and enjoyed his warmth against her hide.
As they made their way home they stopped at an intersection, the traffic lights were not working and in the middle of the intersection was a dragon with red and blue lights strapped to his horns, dressed with a harness that flashed red and blue lights up on his wing membranes causing them to diffuse the light and result in large flashing panels of colour. The dragon would turn and wave his wings causing the traffic to move as he instructed, occasional giving a loud roar at a car that was not moving when he directed them to.
Eventually the drake waved for Neebis and Reevian to cross the road and they did so quickly, giving a nod of appreciation to the drake holding traffic for them. Neebis couldn't help but notice a police badge on the harness of the drake, he had never seen a police dragon before. Usually law enforcement was handled by humans and he felt a sense of pride that his species were finally being represented in another industry.
Neebis started to feel hungry. They had lunch before going to the jewelry store, as he insisted they didn't make a decision on an empty stomach. But now he was starting to get a bit peckish, he turned to Reevian and could see she had a frustrated look in her eye. "Want to stop and get some food?" He offered.
Reevian turned her head a bit as she thought. "Actually yeah. I don't feel like cooking"
Neebis squeezed her gently with his wing. "and what are you feeling like?"
"I'm not sure" she said quietly.
Neebis always hated this part of working out where or what to eat, but be had heard of a trick, "well. That's good, I've booked us a table at the most perfect restaurant, can you guess where it is?" He said with a confident smile.
"Oh Neebis, I don't want anything fancy. Just a hotdog from a street vendor would be fine" she said and pressed her head against him.
"Then a hot dog it is!" He announced. He caught her glancing up at him and smiled innocently at her. "What?"
"You didn't book a table did you?" She said with a smirk.
"You shall never know" he said and booped her snout with his.
As they approached the markets where they worked and lived, the crowds were thick, they had to take their time as they walked as to not push other patrons. Neebis gave a snarl at another dragon who stumbled into Reevain almost knocking her down. "Watch it" he said, his lips back to reveal his sharp teeth. The other dragon ignored him and kept moving. Neebis checked to see if Reevian was ok and she was looking up at him with a strange look on her face. "Are you ok?" He asked, he had to raise his voice to be heard over the crowd.
"I'm fine, I just don't remember ever seeing you snarl like that before." She said with a tone of admiration. "Maybe it's the hormones but that was kind of hot"
Neebis blushed and stumbled over his words, "I didn't think you were into angry drake's" he said, pressing his snout close to her head so he could be heard.
"I'm really not, but I was just then" she said quietly. As they continued to make their way across the packed market, Reevian chalked her reaction up to being pregnant and vulnerable, a strong mate protecting her must be what her body needs.
Thry joined a queue of dragons lining up at a hotdog stall, most of the dragons had harnesses on with the Grub-Wyrm logo on them. The queue steadily moved and they eventually made their way to the front of the stall. Reevian claimed she wasn't too hungry and ordered a basic one. Neebis on the other hand was starving he looked up at the "max the monster dog" which was over 3 feet long and made to share, realizing he was probably over estimating his stomach, he ordered a regular one but made sure his was loaded with toppings.
Neebis had to swollow a few times because his mouth was watering as the vendor prepared their food and bagged it up for them in a paper bag. Neebis carried it and looked over the dining area of the market, it was completely packed with not a seat spare.
"Eat back at the apartment?" Reevain offered as she came to the same conclusion as him.
With a nod he agreed and they made their way to the apartment, as they approached they saw a human knocking on the door with a folder and a clipboard in hand.
"Excuse me, can we help you?" Reevian asked politely.
The human turned and quickly looked at his clipboard then held it up to the dragons as he confirmed their faces with the picture he had on his sheet. "Are you Neebis and Reevain?" He said officially.
"Um yes, is there a problem?" Neebis said and stepped forward, moving himself slightly between the human and his mate.
"I have some papers that I need to give you" the human said and pushed the folder into Neebis, causing him to grasp it. "And you to sign here" he said as he flipped the clipboard around. On his sheet it had pictures of them both, taken from the Grub-Wyrm "about us" section. It also listed their addresses and had a description of them. Neebis scanned the sheet and saw the signature section. He took the pen between his toes that was offered by the humans and gave a scribble on the line.
"Have a good night" said the human, and just like that he disappeared into the crowd.
"What was that about?" Reevian said.
"Ok that was weird for you too?" He said and saw Reevian nodding a look of concern in her eyes. He smiled to calm her and tucked the folder under his wing, "dinner first. Everything else later."
Reevian looked up and smiled, they unlocked the door and headed up to their apartment. Neebis put the food and folder down on the kitchen counter next to the teal and white flowers he had bought the previous day as Reevian washed her paws in the kitchen sink. He did the same and they took their meals to the couch.
Reevian let out a sigh as she finally put her feet up. "Today was good, but I will be so much happier when I can fly again. We were not built to walk this much."
"I couldn't agree more" he said as he took his place behind her, snuggling close to her as he put his meal down between his front paws, as they ate they watched some television, Neebis wasn't really paying attention as he struggled to not spill his overflowing hotdog on the couch. Reevian finished hers first and he caught her glancing at his while he ate.
He dramatically finished the last of his and smacked his lips before sucking on each toe to clean them off. "That hit the spot" he said after swollowing. He turned to his mate and noticed her pouting. "What?"
"Nothing" she said sadly and turned back to watch tv.
"Is my mate still peckish?" He whispered as he learnt close to her.
".....maybe" she muttered softly.
"Well what kind of mate am I if I cannot provide for my family" he said dramatically and stood up, "would you like another hotdog?" He asked and she nodded. Moved Infront of the tv and stood nobily "the biggest hotdog for my lovely mate, the biggest in the land" he announced, quoting the movie they had watched. Her heart swooned and she chuckled at his playfulness. He strutted out of the apartment and made his way back to the market.
Reevian looked at the folder that was on the kitchen counter. Something in her gut told her that it couldn't be good news. Mail doesn't get delivered this late, she contemplated opening it but couldn't bring herself to get up, she was having a good day and didn't want to ruin it.
She tried to return to watching her show, it started off as being one of her favourites, a bunch of dragons and humans were stranded on an island and had to work together to win prizes. But one of her favourites had been voted off and she was now really only watching to see if one of her least favourites would get voted off.
Reevian looked up at the door as she heard Neebis stumbling up the stairs. "Are you ok?" She asked.
"Yup!" He said through his teeth. She heard him put something down just outside the door at the top of the stairs. "Can you go to the bathroom for a sec, I have a surprise!" He pleaded.
Reevian rolled her eyes and smiled, she had an dirty idea going through her head and she had a hunch he was going to act on it. She got up from the couch and headed to the bathroom before calling out "ok, living room is yours, stud"
Reevian caught herself smiling in the mirror. She remembered how quiet the apartment used to be when she lived here just by herself, in only a few days they would have an egg to take care of. She didn't look forward to the prospect of laying it, but took comfort in knowing that she was not the first dragoness to lay an egg. She was healthy if not a little tired and she wasn't aware of any history of issues in her family. The turned her head in the mirror, her scales had taken a toll during this pregnancy, their once lustrous teal colour a few shades paler. She knew it would get worse in the final hours as her body would create a hard shell around her child in order to protect it. The calcium had to come from somewhere, but once the egg was layed then she could spend time recovering.
She heard a thump from the living room causing her to reach for the door handle
"I'm ok!" She heard and smiled. Whatever he was doing was going to be memorable. She heard him dragging things around in the living room before she finally heard silence.
"Hey Reevian, you can come out now!" He announced, his voice slightly muffled.
Reevian slowly exited the bathroom and burst out laughing, Neebis had arranged the cushions on the floor as a nest, however he was on his back and had a table cloth he found draped over him. On his belly was a large platter dish with a giant hot dog on it. As she came closer she could see the hotdog directing her vision to his head poking out from under the tablecloth.
"Dinner is served!" He announced. The smell of mustard, ketchup and onion filling the apartment.
Reevains mouth watered and slowly approached her mate. "What are you doing under there?" She asked and leant down to give him a kiss.
"Well..... I thought you might like a big hotdog" he said self-consciously.
Reevian looked back up at the hotdog and realised what he had done.
"Oh yes, it looks delicious!" She said hungrily. "I can't wait to just grab it with both paws" she said as she moved over his head and chest, crouching down she was able to put her wieght on the cushions and his chest. She wrapped both paws around the hotdog, and smirked when she saw it twitch under the condements.
"And just bite off a giant chunk!" She said and brought her head down.
"PLEASE DONT!" He suddenly said wiggling under her.
"Oh why's that Neebis?" She teased and ran her tongue down the length of the hotdog. She knew as soon as she saw him that he had put his shaft in the bun. But found the concept quite funny.
He let out a shudder as he felt her warm tongue run down his length a stark contrast to the cold sauce and dry bun.
"You are a goofball" she said and pulled the bread off his hard shaft. She took a bite out of the bread as she was still a bit hungry. Enjoying the view of his shaft Infront of her twitching and begging for her affections. She felt him relax under her and put the rest of the bun aside before leaning down and giving his shaft another slow lick. "You taste good" she said, collecting the last of the onions off his meat.
Neebis smiled at the compliment, he tilted his head and had a great view of her slit directly above him as she crouched above him. He ran his snout up the inside of her thighs, taking in her scent. Tracing nibbles on her delicate scales as he pushed his snout against her, moving up until his nose was up against her entrance. He braced his horns against the ground beneath him and moved his paws up to her hips. Gently guiding her to sit on his snout.
She gasped as she felt his tongue start to lick her privates, she was resting a good amount of weight on his face but he didn't seem to mind, he started gently licking the outsides of her vent before swirling his tongue into her, steadily getting deeper and deeper but taking his time to explore all her folds.
He humped his hips with excitement which caused his shaft to bounce in the air getting her attention. She grasped it gently with a paw and stroked it lovingly, his tapered shaft was smooth and elegant and she took her time to run her soft paw pads over the length of it.
He still had smears of sauce on his length as she brought her head down to his length, she licked the tip and smiled as his hips humped again. As he continued to eat her out, she took his length into her mouth, her warm breath causing him to relax, she ran his tip against the top of her mouth while she wrapped her tongue around him and gave him a squeeze. She could taste the mustard mixed with his pre as she started to pull back, the suction of her lips causing him to groan into her snatch. She dove her head down his length suddenly and started to please him with her warm wet mouth. His length starting to go into her throat, but it wasn't her first time doing this and it showed.
Neebis paused to catch his breath "fuck... Your so good" he gasped into her groin. He could feel his pleasure rising quickly. He felt her hum something as his shaft took the vibrations, he gasped and she stopped. He couldn't see her face from where she was but after a while she grazed him with her teeth.
"Oh, sorry!" He said and dived his snout into her slit. Driving his tongue into her with renewed vigor as she continued. He licked her walls, applying pressure on the spots that caused her to moan. The scent of her arousal driving him wild, he closed his eyes and licked her clit which caused her to convulse on him. He teased her pearl a few more times before nibbling her lips and then driving back into her. He had to swollow because of the juices she was secreting into his hungry mouth but he enjoyed her taste.
She pulled off his shaft. "Neebis!" She exclaimed, her head thrown back in pleasure. "Neebis stop" she whispered.
He only just heard her and paused. "What?" He mumbled, his tongue still deep.in her clenching body.
"Let's make it official" she gasped and pulled off his snout. A bead of her excitement linking them together until it broke.
He rolled onto his feet and let her lie down in his place before discarding the table cloth and stepping over her, Leaning down to nibble her throat.
Reevain let out a content sigh, the warmth of where Neebis had been comforting her, his body over the top of hers protecting her from the world as he nibbled her neck, tracing kissed and nuzzles down her chest to her belly where their child was.
He knew that she liked it when he gave his affections to their child, and deep down he did too. Although her tummy was not as toned as it was when they first met, he loved her more knowing that his hatchling was growing inside her.
He slowly traces his kisses back up her chest to her throat and ran his tongue quickly up the length of her neck,.moving between her legs as he did so.
"You are so beautiful" he whispered, his voice low and his hot breath just next to her ear. He kissed her deeply as he moved his hips into position. He lowered himself and dragged his shaft between the lips of her slit before angling his hips and steadily driving into her. He could feel her warm folds parting to his tip as he opened her up.
She let out a gasp into their kiss as he quickly bottomed out in her, juices were expelled from her body as his sheath mashed against her slit.
They pulled back from their kiss and he looked her deep in her eyes as he pulled back. their combined juices causing his hard shaft to glide out and as he pushed back in her eyes went a little wider.
She smiled and looked at her loving mate, even though she was pregnant she could tell he loved her just as much as when she wasn't carrying. Her body clenched hard on his shaft, begging him not to pull out as he withdrew to just his tip before sliding back into her, rocking her body slightly on the cushions.
"I love you" she said as he built up a rhythm. It wasn't a hard rutting like they did when she was on heat but a slow gently progression.
"I love you too" he replied, his voice thick with admiration and desire and kissed her deeply, his tongue exploring her mouth as he drove into her steadily. Alternating between pushing in and out and just rocking his hips with him fully inside her.
They could both feel their pleasures building up, they parted from their kiss so they could get some air. "Fuck" she said as she lay her head back on the cushion in pleasure. He continued to push into her soft body as he nibbled her throat. "You are amazing Reevian" he whispered. "I could not ask for a better mate, you know that don't you" He asked rhetorically.
She moaned as he gave her a slightly more powerful thrust, his body demanding that he breed her, even though her womb was already occupied. Noticing her enjoying it he continued to escalate his pace ever so slowly.
"I need this" she moaned. "Fuck.... Don't stop" she begged, her eyes scrunched up in pleasure as he started to pick up his pace, his powerful hips driving his shaft deep into her and then some, moving her across the floor slightly. He started to put his weight into his thrusts and she started to cry out in ecstasy. "More, please" her breath being pushed out with each thrust of his muscular hips.
Their scales rubbing together and her feet bouncing in the air as he growled and started humping away in earnest. "Tell me if its too much" he said reassuringly. and adjusted his back legs so he was driving at a better angle, his tip brushing against her most sensitive parts causing her to clench up and let out a yowl. Her back legs grabbed around his waist and her front paws quickly grabbed his shoulders, holding him tight for some sort of support as her climax started to build up in her.
"I'm close" he said, he could feel her body quivering around him as he drove into her again and again. His mouth slightly agape as he breathed heavily, looking down at his mate he could tell she was almost there, her eyes closed tightly and was panting heavily, her claws digging into his shoulders as he moved inside her. "I'm going to fill you up" he said his voice desperate with desire. She let out a little whimper and he felt her body go tighter on him, encouraged he continued to whisper in her hear between pants. "My cum is going to paint you inside, your walls, your womb. I love you so much, I wont stop until you finish, and then I, I will give it to you"
Her lips pulled back in a snarl as her body went over the edge, her climax washing over her like a wave causing her toes to scrunch up and her to arch her back into his driving thrusts, he gently held her neck in his jaws causing her to scream his name "Neebis!" she wailed as she became undone. Her warm walls contracting around his shaft, squeezing him for his seed. The sensation of her body begging him for his release was too much for him and he let go of her neck and roar into the ceiling loud enough for the tv to shake. He drove his shaft into her hard and she felt him throb violently in her depths. His hot seed blasting out of him and smashing against her innermost barrier, He continued to jerk and spasm inside her as he unloaded his seed, not an inch of her pussy was safe from his claim as he convulsed on top of her. Her body making sure every drop was drawn out of him by her gripping walls.
His seed started to flow out of her snatch and down the side of her tail as he stayed inside her, he opened his eyes and looked down at his mate. Her mouth open as she tried to get as much air as possible, she could feel his racing heartbeat through his shaft as it throbbed inside her.
"My mate" He said breathlessly.
"Mine" she said back, holding his loving gaze.
Her whole body feeling like it was floating as she felt him slowly soften inside her. He made no efforts to pull out but instead lowered himself down onto her, making sure not to put any of his weight on her belly and pulled her into a hug.
Neebis's shaft eventually slipped out of her and retreated into his sheath, its job done. Her body wept some of his cum as her slit tightened again. He continued to hold her close and kiss her throat and jaw, enjoying the little gasps and moans she let out as he did so. Eventually his legs started to cramp from holding his weight off her and he stood up.
He glanced down at his mates prone form and saw the mess they had made, his eyes going wide and he jumped as he saw red around her slit and dripping down the side of her tail. "Reevian! your bleeding!"
Reevians eyes opened suddenly and she rolled onto her side. Lifting a hind leg she inspected herself, his thick white cum coating her groin but indeed there was something red leaking out of her. "I feel fine." She said, "better than fine actually" she gave it a sniff and could only smell his warm seed on her. She dabbed a paw at the red liquid and brought it to her mouth, giving it a testing lick. She smacker lips a few times and saw Neebis's worried look.
"Its sauce...." she said with a smile and laughed as he saw his body relax.
"Fuck! I thought I broke you, or the egg" Neebis said and laid down next to her.
She leaned into him and smiled, a caring mate was exactly what she had always dreamed off. As they rested alongside one another, Neebis continued to nibble her scales and gave her licks of affection. Her eyes caught sight of the folder still on the table. The nagging sensation of needing to open it pulling at her stomach. She tried to ignore it and lent into his touch, his paw pulling her close.
"What's wrong?" he asked and kissed her between her horns. He could feel her body more tense than usual and knew something was bothering her.
"Gah, fine. " she said and rolled onto her feet, pulling out from under his wing. "I need to know what this says" she said as she wandered over to the counter.
Neebis watched as she used a claw to slice through the seal on the folder and watched her face concentrate on the words.
It didn't take long for Neebis to know something was very wrong, her body was tense and her tail quivering, as her eyes scanned the document he could see tears starting to well up in her eyes. He quickly got to his feet and rushed to his mate. "What is it?" Neebis said and she passed it to him. He could see the familiar logo of Drag'n'Drop in the top corner, as he worked his way through the document he quickly became lost, There were words he didnt understand and some of the sentences seemed to go on forever.
"I don't know what this says" he said defeatedly, turning to his mate who was now weeping steadily.
She pulled him close and pushed her head into his throat for her comfort as well as his. "We are being sued by Drag'n'Drop. They have a patent for deliveries by dragon."
