Malchior: having read this chapter beforehand. I would like to announce the most wonderful chapter in the history of chapters. In fact, not reading this chapter may prove harmful to your health. Side effects of not reading this chapter include mysterious death by fire, claws, fangs or being stepped on.
Me: I would like to note, the following chapter is the most M rated chapter of them all. Those with no stomach for its content should just stop reading now and skip to chapter eleven.
Malchior: But without further ado, we present the most magnificent invention since the invention of the divisions of writing known as chapters, the miraculous chapter ten of A Dragon's Tear.
Me: whispers to Malchior
Malchior: Oh. And the author does not own Teen Titans.
Me: Thank you.
Chapter Ten- The Need to be Loved -or- Malchior's Favorite Chapter EVER!
"What are you thinking, Malchior?" Terra questions, looking over my shoulder as I write down notes from an informative book involving wishes.
"That maybe I shouldn't invoke magic and power into talking to myself."
"Oh. Well, take a break. You've been looking at that all day. You've already read it, anyway."
"But I can't help the feeling that I am missing something." I feel a tug on my arm and look up from my reading. I sigh in defeat. "All right, Princess. What do you want to play?"
She grins wildly. "I was hoping we could go down to the food area. I think a royal food fight might ease some of your tension."
"Food... fight...?" I question raising an eyebrow.
"Just fly me there. I'll show you."
"It seems I have no other choice," I laugh, and in a short time we are there, and Terra is materializing any matter of food she can imagine, all set neatly on a table.
"All right. We are ready now."
"Ready for a feast? I don't understand," I remark, picking up some strange bowl of orange goop. My thoughts are interrupted by some applesauce hitting me in the face. I look up at the smiling Terra in confusion. "I have... done something wrong?"
She laughs. "No, not at all. That's the point of a food fight. You throw food at the other person."
"And how does one win such a game?"
She shrugs. "There really isn't a winner. You just throw until everything is wrecked, and then laugh about how funny everyone looks."
"And humans consider Dragons strange. Wha--" I am cut short by some other form of gushy food hitting my chest.
"Come on, dragon, get with the program," Terra laughs.
Confused, I throw some of the goop from the bowl at her, and she dodges it. "Nice try, but you can't just expect me to walk into it."
"This is pointless, Terra. Besides, I can just magic the food that is on me--" I snap my fingers and the food moves to Terra. "--to you."
She wipes some of the applesauce from her eyes. "Yeah, but that's cheating."
I grin. "I like to cheat."
"You would!" she snaps and throws some chocolate at me, which I easily dodge, grabbing at some kind of porridge and flinging it at her. She grabs some peas and throws them towards me, followed quickly by a whole pie. I am partially hit and growl in her direction.
She laughs until I start to grow to my dragon form. "Malchior? What are you--!" I cut her off when I lift the table and, using magic to keep the solid containers from hitting her, dump all the food on top of her.
I lower the table down and turn back to human form. I walk toward her as she spits out bits of food from her mouth and stares at me in shock. I spot some whipped cream on her head and wipe some up with my finger and eat it. "Hmm. Tasty." She glares angrily at me. "What? Everyone has an essential need to eat, right?"
She magics the food away, and I prepare to be hit by something, until, to my surprise, she smiles instead. I raise an eyebrow as she forms a banana in her hand. "Here," she says, holding it out to me with a mischievous grin.
"Um... you know I only eat meat and dairy," I remark, but she starts to force the banana toward me. I close my mouth tightly, and she grabs my nose, holding it shut.
She laughs. "Everyone has to breathe, too. Come on, eat the banana. It's the punishment for cheating."
Before long I have to breathe and open my mouth to receive banana in it. Glaring grouchily, I chew the stupid banana and Terra laughs again.
"That was disgusting," I remark, swallowing the blasted banana, which of course throws Terra into a louder fit of laughter.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that, but you just made such a funny face," she smiles, trying to lower her laughing.
"You wouldn't have made Beast Boy eat meat," I mutter under my breath, which stops her laughing.
"Hey..." She puts a hand on my shoulder. "I didn't mean it like that. Besides, it's different with Beast Boy, he has moral objections."
"And of course I don't have morals," I snap, pulling away.
"That's not what I me--"
"Cool it, Terra, all right? I never could have morals because I don't have a soul. So I don't stand a chance against the memory of your perfect little Beast Boy. He can become a beast, but I am always--"
"Malchior, you're jumping to conclu--"
"I am not jumping to conclusions!" I shout, tears forming in my eyes. "Forgive me for living, but while dragons may not have a soul, we still have hearts...mostly. And I am tired of having to live up to a memory, when all I want is..." I look up at her and see that her eyes are watering as well. I draw a hand gently to her face. "...for just one wish in my whole bloody existence to come true. Just one."
She stares at me as I lean into her, banishing all the mess and gently touching my mouth to hers. I pull her into me and wrap my arms around her, flicking my tongue out to run it along every crevice of her lips, tasting every spot.
To my surprise, her mouth slowly opens.
In a breath of enjoyment, I slowly slide my tongue into her mouth, flicking it lightly against hers. I hear her sigh through the kiss and our tongues battle each other, my hands searching every curve of her body. I smile to myself as I feel her arms respond, moving up and down my chest lightly before wrapping around my shoulders.
I lower my hands to her waist and pull her into me. Taking a short breath, I break the kiss, only to trail it to her neck. A small moan escapes her lips as I suck just above her collarbone, my fangs just lightly pressing into her soft skin. I kiss slowly back up and lightly nibble at her lower lip.
I break the kiss and look into her eyes, leaning our foreheads together. She is shaking in my arms.
"I'm sorry, princess..." I whisper.
She closes her eyes and pulls herself into hug.
"Don't be," she whispers in my ear. I pull back in surprise, looking at the sky darken, then back at Terra. She has her eyes closed and is changing the landscape. Looking down, I feel the ground soften, and it is quickly covered with tiny red flowers and very lush grass. The sky takes a faint purple tone, stars forming next to a beautiful full moon. Terra opens her eyes and looks at me.
"Terra?" I question, but she places her lips to mine and pulls me into the grass. I kiss my way up and down her neck, her lips, and her ears. She puts a hand to my amethyst shirt and it fades away as she wraps a leg around one of mine.
I moan deeply through the kiss as I feel her push her waist towards mine invitingly, and in a short moment her shirt fades away as well. She kisses my neck as I feel her cool skin and soft breasts press against my chest. She shudders as I move a hand to her lower back and gently massage as I grind my body against hers and suckle her lower lip. I sigh as I feel the remainder of my clothing disappear with hers.
I break the kiss and look into her eyes as our bodies thrust against each other. She looks so frightened yet I feel her getting wetter as my body threatens to join with hers. "Are you sure, Terra?"
She nods lightly and closes her eyes. "Please, Malchior."
If this is a dream, I swear to the gods that I will commit suicide upon awakening. I close my eyes and allow myself to slide into her. Holding still as I feel her tightness around me, I hear her scream weakly. Lightly I push into her just a bit more before pulling back a ways. I feel her body getting hotter as she grabs my waist and pulls me back into her, her legs wrapping around me and locking together.
"Mal... chii... ooor..." she moans.
"Terra," I call back, pushing in and out of her harder, arching my back to kiss down her chest, stopping to suck each nipple. She cries out and throws her hands down to her sides, gripping the grass as our bodies move together in a pleasing rhythm.
Our bodies get hotter and wetter as I kiss back up to her lips, gently kissing her lips before looking back into her eyes. We stare into one another's eyes intently, nose to nose as I push in and out of her harder. She bites her bottom lip and pushes against me, her back arching and her hands moving to hold onto my back. I move an arm up, pushing myself up onto my elbow as I place a hand to lightly pull her hair from her face.
She moans again and I start to feel her quickening, and she puts a hand to my head, gripping my hair tightly as her eyes close. I close my eyes, focusing on the hot, wet feeling of her body as she starts to throb against me. She screams loudly, her body shaking; I feel her cumming.
The heat and throbbing only pleases me more. "T... erra...!" I scream, feeling myself creme and throb inside her as she clings tightly to me.
"MALCHIOR!" she calls out, and our bodies shake and throb slowly to a stop. I feel her relax in my arms and I collapse on top of her, our breathing struggling to catch up. I revel in the feel of her still throbbing a moment before slowly pulling out of her. I roll to my back and feel my body instantly cooling. She sighs and rolls towards me, resting her head on my chest. I wrap my arms around her and feel her fall into a sighing sleep.
I look up at the stars she formed and smile to myself.
Thank you.
Malchior: hugging Aquatity's waist tightly.
Me: pats on head. You're welcome.
