Hey! Every I good news~ I decided to continue the series! So move on to with the show!
Chapter 2: How do you feed a baby dragon?
"W-what?! Who are you calling "Mama?!" I'm NOT your Mom!" exclaimed Zero with a hand over his face, to block out the light blush that has started to rise from his pale face.
" Come on Zero, give the little one a break. It probably thought that your it's mother because of your the first person it sees, it's only natural for it to mistake you as it's mother. Such a cute gesture if you ask me~"
"Mama~Mama~" the newborn chirped happily, as it started to claw off the table with shaking legs, towards it's "Mama". Zero soon noticed that the dragon was dangerously close to the edge and immediately caught the dragon with a gentle embrace, upon the embrace he felt the dragon's tail wrapped around his waist, and nuzzled his neck, as he could hear purring that reminded him of a clingy house cat.
"Aww...Zero your so~ lucky, to be hugged...even being called Mama!" Cross said with a pout.
" Tch, whatever. But first, what do we do with it?" asked Zero, while putting a hand around it to support its weight.
" Zero~ don't call the dragon an "it" why not name it first?" Cross suggested.
" Ok...but how do we do that, if the dragon's he or she?"
" Easy, Zero notice the horns that are shaped like a crown or a tiara and the dove-like wings, this is are the common features of a female Nature dragon, while as males they have a dark forest green coat, their wings would be like bats and their flowers would be grown around their chests. " Cross explained while giving the female dragon a gentle pat on the head.
" So, now that we know she's a girl. We can move on to a name...how about Hana?" Cross suggested facing the hunter and dragon. The dragon thought for a moment before shaking its head.
" Ok...how about Yune?"
Another shake.
"Ummm...Sakura?"
A harder shake.
" Well...I can't think of any more good names...what about you Zero, got a name ?"
Zero thought for a moment before saying a word " Mochi?"
The chairman looked at Zero with a momentary shock, before bursting out into laughter.
Zero was about to kick the chairman, but his attention was back on the dragon who was looking up with sparkling eyes.
" Do you like the name?" he asked, only to respond with a happy nod.
Once the chairman had calmed down, he said: " Alright then, Mochi shall be her name. After all, mother's know best~"
" Sh-Quiet you." Zero stopped himself from cursing in front of Mochi and the Chairman. Cross raised a playful eyebrow at the motherly action, till a large growl was heard in the room.
" What was that?" Zero asked in shock, before looking down to make him blush madly. Seeing that the dragon has started to breastfeed on one of his uniform buttons.
" The poor Mochi dear must be hunger, luckily the book has instructions on making a substitute formula milk for the baby. And because the Nature dragons are technically still plants, they would need glucose to live but seeing that Mochi is still too young to even produce glucose, all we need to do is to mix warm milk and good old honey, come Zero to the kitchen!" Cross announced as he started marching towards the kitchen, along with Zero who was just walking slowly behind.
At Cross's kitchen
After Zero had finished mixing the formula together, the contents were carefully transferred into a clean baby bottle, that he managed to find in the deep parts of the cupboard. Next, he tested the temperature against his cheek, before he gave the bottle into Mochi's eager mouth. Cross soon noticed that Zero would occasionally caress the dragons horns. The sound of milk being drained by Mochi and Zero started to hum in response to the baby's gargle which soon became music to his ears. Till a flowery smell filled the room, it was wasn't an overwhelming smell, more like a calming and relaxing one.
But soon he discovered that the source of the scent was coming from Mochi's horns, which were now covered with lavender flowers. Zero was shocked but didn't want to scare the dragon, so he kept his cool.
" Cross. Explain, Now," said Zero.
" Calm down son, it's normal. The crown just grows flowers to communicate with other nature dragons. In this case, lavender would represent calmness, meaning Zero, she is feeling very calm around you." Cross responded with a simple smile.
" I see...but how will I know what other flowers mean? I'm no florist."
" I know that Zero, so that is why I always have my trusty flower language handbook, it has all the flowers you need to know. Since you will be her mother from now on. Now if you will excuse me, I have some important documents to prepare." but as Cross rose from his set, the kitchen door suddenly slammed open, only to reveal a short brown haired girl, by the name of Yuki Cross.
" Hey! So this is where you guys are, I've been looking for you all over the school! And...wait is that a dragon?!"
But due to the loud impact on the door, the once calming lavender turned brown and wilted on the floor.
This flower language, Zero didn't have to search it up. Because he knew all too well about this emotion, sadness. Zero looked down at the dragon in panic.
" No, no, no, no...Mama's here please don't..." but before Zero could say anything else, a piercing cry was heard, causing everyone to cover their ears and some windows to break.
" Waaaaaahhhhhh-!"
" Yuki 💢 !"
