Valentine's Day Drabbles

Mouse and Solona

Written by: Joelcoxriley

A/N: Alright, so these are random Valentine's Day Drabbles that I have been thinking of doing for Valentine's Day. This one is not very romantic at all, but leads up to Solona and Kirk's one shot that was written by Admiralkirk. Admiralkirk has been a wonderful help and I would like to thank him for helping me out. Either way this is based on my story Never Fear the Demon(which is in its early stages). All characters belong to their rightful owners.

The sound of claws scraping about the stone floor of the Dragon Temple seemed to echo through the great halls as Solona made her way through them.

The black dragoness hung her head low, trying to listen for approaching footfalls but heard none except for her own claws. It was the same noise in a constant pattern. Click, clack, click, clack, click, clack.

Picking her head up, Solona was sure no dragon was near as her muscles began to relax. It didn't stop her wings, however, from stretching in slight nervousness, the faded grey membrane blocking the light produced from the strange Temple.

Approaching her chamber door, Solona looked around briefly before stepping up to the door, the door sensing her presence as it opened. As she stepped inside, the black high dragon couldn't help but wonder what kind of magic made those doors operate as they did. It must have been the Dragon Temple's magic. It was overflowing with energy, much like The Circle.

The chamber was rather spacious with a large, overly stuffed bed and fluffy pillows. The bedding, pillows and curtains were a deep satin with gold embroidery. The chamber also had two pillars for support, the thick columns being wrapped by vines that made their way up to the ceiling. In Solona's opinion, the room was nothing but beautiful.

"Is there a reason for this privacy?" Solona turned her head towards the voice and smiled.

"Hello, Hybris. And yes, there is." Solona replied, the small dragoness suddenly squirming with anticipation.

"Why are you so...jumpy?" Hybris asked, cocking his head to the side, the large, wingless drake perfectly comfortable in her bed.

"I have something for you, Mouse." Solona replied, the pride demon getting up and stretching, his maw opening wide as he yawned lazily.

"Truly? Hmmm, my curiosity is peaked." Mouse admitted, the light reflecting off his golden scales gently, the bed creaking as he jumped down, instinctively sniffing her. He didn't smell another's sent on her. All he smelled was the purple male and black and red female on her. He could feel his anger rise slightly at the purple dragon's scent. Still, her scent was stronger than the others, and it calmed the demons underlying fear.

"Hang on! It's in the drawer." Solona replied, turning back into her human form as she giggled, running to the drawer almost like a child.

Mouse cocked his head to the side, his curiosity growing at his partner's eagerness. He watched as Solona grabbed whatever it was from the drawer, hiding it behind her back as he approached him. She couldn't help but smile.

The drake used its superior height to its advantage, craning its neck to try and look at the object the woman was hiding only for her to move away.

"No, no! Guess!" Solona grinned, her blue eyes sparkling as the golden drakes green eyes shown with curiosity, darkening with slight annoyance.

"Pardon?" Mouse asked, confused. Why the hell did she want him to guess? Why did she even want to give him something?

"Because!" Solona replied.

"But, because isn't..." Mouse gave up, sighing in defeat. "...Very well. I'll guess." Mouse muttered, hearing a loud "Yay!" from the mortal that caused the demon to flinch slightly.

"Oh, sorry. Okay, now guess!" Solona smiled. It seemed like if her smile got any bigger her face would crack in half. Mouse found himself chuckling darkly, but quickly pushed the thoughts away.

"Alright...a...staff?" Mouse asked, Solona shaking her head.

"...Lyrium dust?" Mouse guessed. He heard of blood mages force feeding templars so much their eyes would liquefy. He wondered how well that would work on annoying dragons? A certain pink dragon...

"Nope." Damn!

"...A dead templar?" Mouse asked, hoping the answer was yes before realizing it had to be something that she could hold in her hand. Damnit!

Solona frowned, Mouse sighing.

"This is stupid." Mouse stated, Solona's frown turning into a smile as she suddenly held up something shiny, Mouse moving back a step as the reflexion hurt his eyes.

"Don't you love it!?" Solona asked, Mouse calming down as he realised it was just...jewelry?

"...errrrrrr..." Mouse stared at the object, trying to understand why she would give it to him. It was jewelry! What would he want with jewelry? His response was highly intelligent as well.

"Yeah...sure..." Mouse replied slowly, not even sure what to say. He looked at Solona, and noticed the smile still on her face.

"Well?"

"Well what?" Mouse asked, not liking this at all. He didn't understand the purpose of being given something so useless.

"Try it on!" Solona cried. Mouse could feel his blood turn cold and his body go stiff. He wasn't some little girl's dress up doll! The nerve this woman had!

"I...think not." Mouse hesitated, feeling offended as his posture became more assertive than its formerly docile stance.

"W...What?" Solona asked, her smile instantly disappearing, her lip beginning to quiver and her eyes beginning to water. "You...You don't like it?"

"No. What use is a piece of garnished metal going to be to me?" Mouse asked, his voice naturally soft yet stern. At least he wasn't completely upset with her. If he was,his voice would have changed.

"I...I wanted to give you something." Solona answered. Why couldn't he just see that she wanted to do something nice for him? It was his first physical body. Why couldn't he see that she cared for him, valued him, but he was rejecting her. She could feel her heart seize in pain.
"Don't waste your time on such useless objects." Mouse snorted, glaring at the piece of metal. He couldn't look at her. Looking at her only made the strange feeling in his chest throb more. What was it?

Tears fell down Solona's face, her face red with her worked up nerves that was slowly being replaced by anger.

"You're a selfish bastard." Solona spat, throwing the necklace on the floor in rage as she walked out of her chambers, her tears quickly drying. She didn't know where she was going to go, but she needed a place to think.

Mouse felt his anger rise, fighting the urge to go after her. He didn't know why, but he felt time he had to. What's worse, he could feel himself losing control.

Mouse looked at the necklace on the ground, realizing it was...heartshaped? Why?

Ignoring it, Mouse stepped on the necklace, feeling it crack and shatter under his weight. Pulling his paw away, he barely felt the sharp shards embedded in his paw and the blood seeping onto the floor.

I'm sure Admiralkirk and I will make more of these in the near(or far) future. If anyone would like us to make a one shot with a certain couple just let us know. Thank you for reading!
