The Soul in Our Scales

Chapter Five

I never thought that me out of all people would make a ditzy little dream catcher with a girl. But that happened today. Ember pinned me to my room and made me help her make one. It turned out pretty nice in the fifth attempt. It turned out well though,so that's all that really matters right now.

"Looks good."I said as we finished making her dream catcher.

"Yeah."She agreed as she held it up and got a good look at it.

I then flopped onto my bed. Those crafts are short tiring!

When I was little I was the athletic kid. That was when I was the top dog and very thing was going my way. I was always the king over the other dragons. I actually used to be the school bully.

"Garble do you really truly like me?"Ember asked from the floor where she was admiring her dream catcher.

"Well when you first came from that friend agency I didn't."I changed the subject.

"Do you like like me now?"She rephrased.

I blushed once more,this time she saw me turn pink.

"Cause I like you."She added.

I almost choked on barf! "You...you...like me?!

She nodded and blushed at the same time.

"I....I...I..."I stuttered like crazy.

"I know. It's sort of wrong for me to like you. I thought you would think I was crazy."She sadly said.

"No! No....I'm just really shocked that you,out of all people,like me.I mean I have a jaw deformity.....and..."I explained.

"I know."She told me.

"It's just...and...and I like you..."I was able to stammer.

"You do?"She sounded surprised.

Ofcourse I like her! She was a princess,almost every male had a tiny crush on her!

"Yeah."I admited as my cheeks turned pink.

"Wow."Was all she said."I thought you still despised me and Spike."

"No. Never!"I pretended like I was never mad. When in reality I almost killed Puff.

She didn't say anything in response whatsoever. It was very awkward and silent.

"So.....now what?"I asked. I was now on the floor next to her

"Well...I think my dream catcher....needs...."but I cut her off with a kiss.

It wasn't a long one,but it was pretty much in between. It was around five seconds.

"This feels wrong."She said as I let go.

"It should."I made that witty comment.

I had watched romance movies and there was always the spicy one (me) and the unsure one (Ember). It made the relationship more interesting. Or that's at least what they say.

"I just don't know what to say....."She was about to explain.

"I love you,for starters."I suggested. I seriously was recalling all this from romance movies.

"I.....I can't!"She reasoned with me.

"Come on,say it and I'll let you loose."I romantically threatened her.

I am not sure,but I felt like we were in a sappy movie. It was odd and wonderful at the same time. I was considering seducing her,but then again I am only fourteen.

"I love....love...."She was babbling.

"Come on."I eagerly nagged.

"You!"She exclaimed.

"Very good."I complimented."Now go on."

"Leave?"She asked me.

"Yeah that's what you wanted...right?"I asked as I looked at her.

"Well....."She started to say.

"It's 8:00 anyways,your shift is over."I told her.

She walked away and left the cave.

Wow. Did I really just do that? I turned the TV on. Maybe if I watched s'more romance movies maybe I would get even better at that stuff. I mean Ember did deserve the best. She was a princess.

That whole night she was on my mind. My deformed jaw had just kissed a lip gloss coated mouth of a dragon princess and dragon lord! It was the most best and worst thing ever at the same time.
