"No, no, no. I'm tellin' ya, it won't bite, Chris."
Chris looked warily at the lizard watching him innocently from the cage, and then the brunette took a deep breath, seemingly preparing himself mentally. "Alright...here goes." He cautiously reached his hand down into the tank, palms sweaty from nervousness. Just as his fingers were infront of the lizard, Chris gently nudged the reptile and- "FUCK! Jesus ever-loving Christ that little shit bit me!"
Jake sniggered and discreetly took the $5 from a disgruntled-looking Leon.
"Told ya it would bite 'em."
"This is why I don't take you two to zoos," Leon hissed to him as Chris hopped around, sucking on his finger with tears in his eyes.
