*I don't own Jane and the Dragon or its characters

It has been a while Since I completed a request for SkyeElf. It's not that I had forgotten, but it was more like I couldn't find a story flow. Still working through some writers block but I hope you enjoy it and I hope it fit the prompt idea. And Sorry for taking so long SkyeElf.

Written as request for SkyeElf using the prompt "And then my heart stopped"


"Dragon, what is the matter?"

"Have you ever thought you had something important to say but couldn't remember?"

"That is normal Dragon"

"I know, but I just cannot shake the feeling that I forgot something"

"Oh Dragon, you silly green newt"

As Jane stroked his snout, a thought came to his mind. He remembered the words he wanted to say. At the age of 306, you would think that he would understand the difference of such feelings as romance and like like. Each time the words tried to slip off the tip of his tongue, his heart would stop. She would look at him with those emerald eyes like there was no one who mattered more to her in the world. Nuzzling her softly with his snout, Jane kissed the tip of his snout "I love you Dragon"

He knew what her words meant, but his heart did not. With thunderous heartbeats, he was afraid his heart would stop for good, but he tried so hard to let it be known. Even if Jane would never understand the true meaning of his words, he said "Jane, never leave me"

"Like I promised Dragon, you and me together till the end"

"Promise?"

Caressing his head lovingly, she whispered "I promise"

Though it might take Dragon a few hundred years to gain the courage to say those three important words, for now he felt confident enough to believe in Jane and her promise.
