The young purple dragon slowly padded through the cave looking around for anything important when he came across another dragon, a red one. Spyro's face lit up happily and he ran over to the other dragon, who was looking kinda glum. "Flame! Hey Flame!"

The other dragon lifted his head and stood up happily, his tail swaying a little faster than usual. "Spyro! It's so good to see you! I thought I'd never get out of here!" The young red dragon happily ran to meet his friend and nuzzled against the purple dragon's chest affectionately. Spyro wrapped a wing around Flame's body in a hug and lowered his own head onto the back of the dragon's neck.

"When I found Ember looking okay earlier, I began to worry about where you were. It's been so long since I saw Ember from when this quest of mine began, but now that I've found you, I can worry a little less. But, what are you doing all the way out here?"

"I could ask you the same thing. I'm out here because I was wandering when Gnasty Gnorc found me and shut me in here with him. He's just through that passage there, if that's where you're heading".

"It is" Spyro gave Flame a quick lick on his cheek before parting with him. "I'm sorry Flame, but I have to go save the world once again, y'know, the usual routine".

Flame looked a little dejected but smiled anyway, sitting back. "It's okay, it's not like those Elders are much help nowadays" he chuckled. "But, promise me something?"

"Anything"

"...Promise me you'll be okay?"

"Flame..." Spyro put on a winning smirk, "Aren't I always?"

Flame grinned and swiped a paw at the air across his chest, "Alright, just make sure you kick his gnarly butt!" Spyro grinned back with a confident wink and scampered off away from Flame. The red dragon sighed and sat, waiting to make sure his lover came back alive and well. "Spyro, please be careful..."


Spyro huffed in relief as Gnasty Gnorc lay defeated, the purple dragon was exhausted. He turned tail and padded out of the cave slowly, back through the small passage only to be bowled over by a certain red dragon. "You're okay, you're okay!" Flame exclaimed joyfully, pressing a paw on Spyro's yellow chest and nuzzling against his neck, minding that his horns didn't scratch. Spyro smiled and licked him before pushing him off so he could get up.

"Were you really that worried about me?" He asked with a cocky grin.

"Yes! I could hear everything, and it sounded so painful at times. I wanted to rush in and just live up to my name by burning him to ashes for hurting you, but I knew it was your fight so I just dug my claws in the ground and stayed put best I could manage. I'm just super glad you're alright Spyro, if anything had happened-"

"Don't think like that. How many times have I put myself in danger just to save the world? And I'm still alive and kicking, right? Don't worry Flame, I'm not going anywhere, I promise. I'm not about to leave my mate and favourite dragon just because death says so"

"Oh Spyro, don't ever try using a sappy love line like that on me again"


Um, so that was my first Spyro the Dragon fanfiction. It was a little Spyro x Flame drabble because that's my OTP for these games, haha. Was it okay? I tried to keep their personalities in check best I could, especially with Flame since he's only seen once in A Hero's Tail and seen a little bit in Shadow Legacy. So yeah, hope I did it okay! Please review and tell me what you think!
