Little Flowershop of Love, part 1
A big, burly dragon florist and his human boyfriend enjoy their time together, when the large creature suddenly brings up wanting to start a family--but they are both male...

The door to the little flower shop on the corner of the block opened with a pleasant little jingle of its bell. For a moment, the figure who had just emerged from the slightly-stifling depths of Sakuraba Flowers' interior took a deep breath of the clean, fresh air, feeling the heat of the setting sun on his brow. Even the early evening, when the bright, naked blue of the sky gave way to fiery oranges and muted pinks, the heat of the valley was a constant presence; so different from the cool, crisp air of the mountains.
The figure listened to the low, droning hum of the cicadas that filled the air, and then bent over to prop the door to his shop open with a round, smooth, dark-grey stone. A deep, resonant hum rumbled in his own chest as he took the broom propped up next to the door into a large, strong hand, and began to sweep the sidewalk. The thin handle was almost comically tiny in his grip, but it was to be expected; the broom had been made for humans, after all.
Dargu glanced up from his work occasionally, the large dragon's eyes wandering up to the end of the street. It was almost time; he just had to close the shop up and wait. The dragon felt a faint tingle of nerves in his gut, yet at the same time he felt light and airy with giddiness. The tip of his long, sinuous tail flicked behind him as he swept over the dustless path.
Two teenage girls drove by the dragon on a moped and waved at him, only to putter away shrieking and giggling when he waved back. The townsfolk had been cordial enough towards him his entire stay here, but he still felt they treated him as a curio, a thing to be seen instead of a real person with feelings. Even his next door neighbor, a sweet elderly lady that liked baking sweets for him, spoke about him as 'her dragon friend Dargu'. Whenever he was doing his shopping people always stopped to have a chat with him, yet even surrounded by them he felt lonely. 'He's a good person, for an outsider', was what they said between the lines, he thought.
The street was deserted again. Dargu shrugged and resumed his sweeping. Maybe he was reading too much into it? Humans were hard to figure out, their weird sense of humor and faces capable of dozens of expressions always so confusing to him. It had taken him months to figure out that humans sometimes not only say one thing when they mean the opposite, they do that on purpose to amuse others. He gripped the broom and blushed when he suddenly remembered the series of embarrassing situations he had gotten into after his arrival because of human sarcasm.
At least Kei was different. He spoke plainly to him now that they were dating--at least when he wasn't teasing him--and he had been great help when Dargu had settled in to his new life among humans. As if summoned by the dragon's thoughts the man appeared at the other end of the street. He was fairly stocky young man, with short dark hair and wide face that smiled easily, dressed in a business suit as usual. He had taken off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves, his necktie hanging loosely, and he walked with the weary step of someone having had a long day at work. As he came closer Dargu noticed that he had a band-aid across his nose…
"Kei!"
Dargu waved to the man as he approached, setting the broom in his hand against the shop's door frame. He moved to meet Kei, towering over the human; he had to crouch down to reach Kei's eye level. He rumbled, soft and deep in his chest, as he reached out to stroke his human's cheek.
"What happened here?"
"Don't worry, you don't need to beat anyone up for me."
Though Kei let out a lighthearted laugh, his hand still moved to give the dragon's massive shoulder a calming pat.
"I just ended up opening a file cabinet on my face."
"How did you...?"
Dargu grunted softly, and ran his large thumb over the bridge of Kei's nose. The human winced at the touch, more out of reflex than any pain brought by the contact with the sore spot under the bandage; even if Dargu's palm was about the size of Kei's face, his touch was delicate and gentle.
"Let's get you inside, dear."
"Yeah, before any other office furniture comes out and jumps me."
Kei reached up to take a hold of Dargu's wrist, pulling it away from his face and entwining their fingers together as the dragon stood. Their hands were mismatched in size, the man's digits half the thickness of the dragon's thick fingers. Kei slid his between Dargu's, as surprised as ever by the scaly smoothness of his skin.
“You're always so warm", the man said and made no motion to move inside. Let the passerby see, he thought.
“Well I am warm blooded like you mammals…"
“Dork." Kei kissed his knuckles affectionately.
Dargu sighed, his massive bulk held in place by that light touch. The human's mouth was small compared to his maw, but amazingly nimble and sensitive, as he had learned over their time together, up close and very personally. '
“Come on, let's go inside okay? I have iced tea ready for you, you must be parched…"
His voice had a slight pleading tone to it. Public displays of affection made him uneasy, after some awkward situations he had gotten into soon after coming to live among the humans, and he suspected Kei did shover him with it for exactly that reason. Dargu fidgeted, tugging his paw from the man's lips with little success.
"Alright, alright." Kei let out a soft chuckle as he looked up to the blushing dragon. "I could use a drink, actually. Summer's barely started and I'm already sweating like a pig."
The hand not entwined with Dargu's went to tug as his slightly-moist shirt, which clung to his body. He gave the dragon a wink, and one more soft kiss on the knuckles.
Dargu made a noncommittal sound, though his tail tip began to swish just a little faster as he as led his human inside. He paused just long enough to set his abandoned broom on the inside wall next to the doorframe, and to pick up the stone holding the shop door open. Once the door had been secured and locked, leaving the two alone in the dimness of the closed store, Dargu turned to allow Kei to wrap his arms around him; at least, as far as the human could wrap his arms around the dragon's bulk.
"Missed you, big guy." Kei sighed, his head resting on the top curve of Dargu's slight gut. "I'm home."
"Welcome home, Kei."
Dargu enfolded the human in his own arms, once again gentle and delicate with the much smaller man. His nose caught a faint whiff of his lover's sweat, and the underlying scent that belonged to the human alone. Once more, the dragon rumbled low in his chest, and Kei laughed softly as he felt the vibrations against his cheek through the dragon's cotton shirt.
"Alright, I'll have that drink now", Kei said.
He loosened his grip, but Dargu didn't let him go. Dargu's massive hands stroked the human's back slowly, up from the nape of his neck down to the slight curve above his waist.
"You're very special to me", the giant rumbled in a dreamy sing-song voice.
"You too, honey."
Kei chuckled again and nuzzled Dargu's midriff with his face, smelling the crisp laundry detergent of his dress shirt. His nose hurt a little as he pressed it against his lover's bulk, but he didn't mind.
"But I really am parched, you know..."
"Okay, let's stop and go to kitchen to get some."
The dragon didn't make the slightest motion to budge, but kept hugging the man. His man.
"I love you so much."
The dragon almost sounded mesmerized as he continued to hold his dear human. He dipped down to run his snout through Kei's hair, nuzzling the man as his rumbles grew lower and louder.
"Uh, right back at you."
Kei pushed himself away from Dargu slightly, one eyebrow raised as he looked up to his dragon.
"You alright, Dargu?"
"Mmmf."
The dragon blinked, and stared down at Kei for a moment as if coming out of a dream. The scales across his snout began to grow hot with a blush.
"Ah, yes. Sorry about that, dear, I just got distracted."
He shifted from foot to foot nervously until he felt the human's soft lips press to the tip of his snout.
"Sounds like we both could use a drink, huh?" Kei chuckled, and pet the dragon's sides. "Come on."
The two made their way up the staircase behind the counter, which led to their apartment above Dargu's flower shop. It was a cozy space; small, especially for someone of Dargu's stature, but the two made it work. Kei undid the top few buttons of his shirt as he flopped onto the couch, letting out a long, weary sigh. Dargu, meanwhile, began to bustle about in the kitchen, the soft tinkling of glassware as he filled up two glasses of fresh iced tea the only sound in the apartment for a moment.
Dargu came back with two tall glasses of ice cold tea, gave one of them to Kei, then sat on the floor and rested his head on the man's knees with his hands under his chin. Kei held the glass against his forehead, condensation already beading on its surface, and closed his eyes. His free hand toyed with the dragon's forehead and mane drooping over it. They sat in silence, listening only to the sounds of their breathing and the chirping of cicadas. A waft of hot summer air blew in from the window that had been left ajar, but its caress did not bring relief from the heat. The small room would feel stifling well into the night, and Kei could feel the sweat beading up along his back.
"We should get that air conditioner fixed."
It had not been long since Kei had started using 'we' instead of 'you' when talking about how Dargu ran his day to day business. It had slid in sneakily, appeared before sentence about what to have for dinner one day and then infiltrated the rest of his vocabulary from that beachhead. Dargu was not sure if the man had noticed it himself, but it always sent a little thrill through his body to hear him say it. Kei stopped scratching behind Dargu's ear, and moved to stroke his polished horns in a slow and very deliberate manner. He cracked his eyes open and smirked as his hand slid up and down the stiff, curved appendage, stopped at its pointed tip and then descended to grip its thick base.
"I missed you today at work", he whispered softly.
"I missed you too."
Dargu murmured back to the human, his eyes slipping shut as he felt Kei's deft fingers working over the base of his horn. He brought his glass to his lips, taking a slow sip. As the cold liquid traveled down his gullet, the dragon let out another low rumble and shifted. He could feel the fabric of his clothes clinging to his frame.
"Hang on a moment."
Reluctantly, the dragon pulled away from his human's touch, and began to unbutton his shirt. Dragons like him had no need for these kinds of coverings on the mountain peaks, but humans apparently had a problem with seeing each others' bare bodies; he could still remember the first and only time he had tried to open the shop without wearing at least a pair of pants. Ever since, Kei had made him promise to wear the garments while he was outside the apartment, to avoid any more awkward visits from the police.
But here, when they were alone, he had no need for such things.
His shirt finally slid off his broad shoulders, and the dragon began to tug at his pants. Once they'd been shucked off, both were tossed in a random direction with just a slight bit of contempt.
"At least put them in the hamper," Kei sighed as Dargu resumed his position resting his head on the human's knees.
"Later." Dargu took another sip of his tea. Much better.
Kei admired his broad shoulders and back, muscular and covered in tough but smooth reptilian skin. Even resting easily he felt heavy in Kei's lap, his dense muscle and bones making up his bulk filled with several hundred pounds of affection towards the man. The dragon must've weighed as much as a full grown draft horse, and making love to him certainly felt like it.
But for now the beast was subdued, dazing in his arms with his tail flopping lazily against the floor. His beige coloration shimmered dully in the sunlight, uniform and without any patterns or other markings Kei had learned that dragons usually had. His mane was darker color of brown and felt like coarse hair but was actually made of thin, light quills. It rustled softly as Kei ran his fingers through it. He spread his legs and the dragon's head plopped on the couch. It took little effort to pull his snout against Kei's musty crotch.
"What you thought when you missed me today, Dargu?"
He spoke softly, as if to a kitten held in his palms.
"Lots of things."
Dargu's voice was a low, gentle rumble, almost a purr as he nuzzled into Kei's crotch. He breathed in, sampling the scent between his lover's legs.
"I thought about how good you smell when we lay together."
He felt Kei's hands gently stroking through his mane, and his own began to trace along the human's ankles.
"I thought about how much I love you. And..."
He hesitated for a moment as nervous butterflies fluttered up into his chest.
"And...?"
Kei met his dragon's eyes, raising one of his eyebrows up. His hand slowly worked its way down Dargu's cheek to begin scratching at the ridge of his chin.
"Mmmm."
Dargu's eyes slipped closed for a moment, breathing slowly and evenly as his nose rubbed against the bulge in Kei's pants.
"I thought... about how I start my cycle today..."
"Oh."
Kei's fingers paused for a long moment, and then the human shrugged with a grin.
"Guess that means it's buttstuff only for the next couple weeks, huh?"
"Actually..."
Dargu hesitated again. He grasped Kei's hand, entwining his thick, long digits with the human's own once more. He looked up at Kei, soft magenta gazing shyly into warm, loving brown.
"I thought that it... might be the time for us to... you know..." He gulped. "...Breed."
"Huh." Kei pondered and drummed his fingers on Dargu's snout. "How...how that would work in practice?"
Dargu planted his hands on Kei's knees and burrowed his snout into Kei's crotch, the hard ridge of his snout touching the man almost too intimately. He spoke with a muffled, growling voice.
"It works by you fucking my slit again and again with your thick cock and shooting many, many loads of your virile human seed into my needy dragon pussy."
"Uh, dragon pussies weren't quite covered by my sex ed classes in high school..."
Dargu stopped and looked up. His reptilian face wasn't very emotive, but Kei could see the alarm in his eyes.
"Kei, I'm being serious! It took me a lot to work up the nerve to say this..."
"I know, I know, it's just that I never thought about myself as a parent", the man said sheepishly.
Dargu sensed the hesitation in his voice and pushed himself back with a sudden motion, then sat on the floor hugging his knees.
"Nevermind then! Just forget that I asked!"
His tail whipped back and forth as he gave Kei a cold shoulder.
Kei kneeled behind Dargu and touched his shoulders softly.
"Oh come on, don't be like that."
The giant did not reply, but Kei rested his cheek between his shoulder blades and reached around his midriff. His fingers barely touched each other.
"I'm sorry, honey, but this just came very suddenly to me. I hadn't even thought about it earlier."
He stroked the dragon's sides, his hands sliding over the smooth musculature of his torso, from below the ribs to across his round but firm belly. I wonder where in his body his ovaries with those ripening eggs are...
The dragon had calmed down and slouched on the floor with his head drooping low. Kei listened to his breathing and the sound of his thudding heartbeat.
"But I know that I want to be with you, Dragu. Forever."
"Mmm... me too, Kei."
Dargu slowly relaxed into the human's embrace, the whipping of his tail slowing down as Kei moved to straddle it. Kei stroked over Dargu's bare chest, feeling the rough, yet strangely soft scales coating the dragon's bulging pectorals.
"I'm sorry, I just..."
"Shhh..."
Kei settled his chin of Dargu's shoulder, and pressed a soft kiss to the dragon's jawline.
"...How long have you been thinking about this."
"A while..."
Dargu's voice, even at its quietest, was still a low, deep rumble that vibrated against Kei's chest as the human settled against his dragon.
"I love you, Kei. I love you more than life itself, and nothing would bring me greater joy than to... bear your children."
The bridge of his snout began flush red; a strange sight on the dragon's largely-stoic face, but one that had never failed to charm Kei since they had met.
"Well.. alright then."
Kei patted Dargu's shoulders and gave him another peck on the cheek, and then grunted as he stood.
"Hm?" Dargu looked back over his shoulder at his human. "Kei, you mean...?"
He was met with his human's bright, easy smile, Kei's own cheeks reddened with a blush as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Yeah, I mean."
“I'm so glad to hear that!"
Dargu lumbered around to hug Kei, but the motion turned into tackling his midriff and sending him sprawled on the floor. Dargu hovered above him on all fours, beaming and wagging his tail like a happy puppy. He lowered his voice into a deep rumble as he started nuzzling the man again, breathing in his sweat soaked scent.
“I've wanted to feel your progeny developing inside me for so long…", he huffed as his snout moved downwards his chest. “Feel my body nurture and protect our precious cargo…"
Dargu took Kei's belt buckle into his maw and bit into it, using his hold to pull the man's pants down roughly. His boxers half slipped off, and a quick tug finished the job. The massive dragon sniffed the black thicket of Kei's crotch, the damp shaggy hair tickling his nostrils. Kei moaned as he felt the dragon's breath on the tuft of hair above the base of his thick cock, making it twitch and stiffen…
"Mmmff... should probably shower--"
"No." Dargu ran his ridged shout along the length of Kei's member as it chubbed up. "I like the way you smell, Kei. It..."
He looked into his lover's eyes, the ridge of his snout and his cheeks a deep, flushed red under the smooth scales.
"It makes my pussy wet, even when I'm not in heat... it makes me want you..."
Dargu grunted softly, looking down to where Kei's pants where gathered at the human's ankles, held in place by his dress shoes. A quick tug pulled first one and then the other off, and then Dargu lifted on black sock-clad foot to his nose and took a sniff.
"Alright, alright."
Kei let out a low moan as he felt his dragon's snout drag over the sore arch of his foot; he'd been on his feet pretty much the entire day, and so the light massaging motion of Dargu's nuzzling and sniffing was welcome.
"Hm hm, you really do like how I smell after work, don't you?"
In answer, Dargu purred as he slowly pulled Kei's socks off, releasing more of the sweaty, musky scent that had been trapped in the human's shoes all day. Unlike dragons, who only had musk glands in their slits and under their tails for the purposes of attracting mates, humans seemed to produce scents from nearly every inch of their body. At least, every inch of Kei that Dargu had explored over the course of their relationship produced scents that served to make Dargu ever more attracted to his mate.
Dargu brought the curiously musky smelling foot to his snout, and nibbled Kei's toes between his ferocious fangs. When his thick, warm tongue started to lick the bottom of the feet Kei squirmed, ticklish, but let his lover play with his body without resisting. The salty, vaguely cheesy aroma titillated the large beast and made him moan as he slurped the delicious taste of his man, to press his foot against his face to mark himself with his scent.
Eventually he stopped and looked down at the man on the floor before him, his broad chest heaving and blush of color deep dark hue on his flustered face. Slowly, without saying anything nor breaking eye contact the dragon lowered the foot to his crotch. The slit on his pubic mound was puffy by now, its lips engorged with blood and slightly parted to reveal the pinkness of his genital passage, and against that softness the man's foot was pressed. It did not take much coaxing from the dragon to slide Kei's toes inside his sex.
They both gasped, Kei from the slick smoothness of the beast's delicate flesh, and Dargu from the overwhelming intimacy of the moment. Curios, Kei wriggled his toes making Dargu moan and shudder, his breathing ragged, and a something wet and warm bubbled from within him. Looking down Kei could see clear, gooey precum dribble from his slit and onto his thighs. Dargu panted, mouth ajar, his long tongue lolling down almost to his chest, and pushed more of Kei into himself, his foot an uncomfortable lump against the velvety folds of his mating gape, rubbing the man's scent over his own dagonic musk.
Suddenly Kei felt something hard against the tips of his toes, pliable yet rigid rod pushing back and sliding into the gap between his big toe and others. Kei let out a another moan, blushing hard himself when he realized what it was pulsing and throbbing against his foot. Dargu's shifted his grip on Kei's foot, angling it downward to let the toes brush over the second opening beneath his member, from which slick, heavily-musky liquid began to spurt and gush. Freed of the obstruction, the dragon's member pushed out between the reddened lips of his slit as they both watched, quickly gaining it's full length. A mere ten inches; on the smaller side for someone of Dargu's species, but more than enough to satisfy his human lover.
"You really love my feet, don't you?"
Kei smiled, relaxing backward as Dargu brought his other foot to his maw. The dragon's warm, wet, soft tongue felt so good on his soles as it brushed over every inch, the hot huffs of Dargu's breath adding to the oral massage.
"I love all of you, Kei. Everything."
Dargu took one last, deep sniff of his human's foot, and then lowered it down as he loomed over the prone man. He snuffled back into Kei's crotch, rubbing his snout against Kei's erection and low-hanging balls. Taking in their scent, letting his tongue trace over them, feeling the pulse of Kei's heartbeat through the engorged flesh. Dargu let out a deep, rumbling purr as Kei began to stroke between his horns once more.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too, big guy."
Kei watched as Dargu began to work his way up the human's body. The dragon's tongue delving into Kei's navel, tasting the sweat pooled within. His snout brushing through the light coating of hair on Kei's chest, and his nose pushing into the dank trenches of Kei's armpits. He sniffed and huffed and lapped over every inch of musky flesh he could reach, both toying with and enticing his mate into breeding him.
Satisfied, Dargu flopped on his back. The dull thud made glassware rattle, and Kei could feel the vibration passing through the floor as the large beast laid down. The dragon looked flustered and breathed rapidly, aroused beyond belief by the salty, earthy taste of his mate's body, and spread his muscular legs open wide. Kei's gaze was guided towards his crotch where his glistening sex waited between his thick, trunk-like thighs. Dargu dug in his meaty fingers in his slit, and pulled its lips wide apart to reveal the secret sensitive spot in his otherwise armored body. Under the base of his proudly erect cock was a soft opening, deep red in color and gaping hungrily. A musky scent wafted into Kei's nostrils, exotic as a spice and mingling with a faint, sharp whiff of urine...
