Spyro didn't realize it...but Flame was completely different than most realized.
Especially after you gave him coffee or any type of sugar product really.

The effect had almost an immediate effect on Flame.
One moment Flame was sitting on the sofa, glaring at all gathered, than the next Eon was forcing coffee down his throat.

Everyone paused, standing perfectly still, all expecting Flame to just snap and kill Eon...but than he just smiled.
And not his creepy "I-kill-you" smile, no this one was...cute, in Spyro's opinion.

Slowly everyone went back to what they were doing as Flame, now ansent of Eon hanging over him, just stared around him with that cute look on his face,
almost adorable even if he didn't have eyebrows.
He just blushed, smiled, and gazed about him with wide eyes, once in a while swinging his legs which just added to his cuteness.

It seemed that coffee made Flame almost normal.

"Flame has a zero tolerance to caffeine or sugar." Fluttershy told Spyro, hanging on him and pressing her brests all the closer to him.
He didn't reall mind, but then again...he kind of wished she would go away so he could study this strange new Flame some more.
"So when he gets it," She went on, much to Spyro's annoyance, "he's like a whole different person."

"Spyro!"

Said boy hardly knew the voice that had shouted out his name that was until Flame suddenly latched onto his side, glaring at Ember and Cynder from the protection of Spyro's back.

"Aw!
KAWAII!" the two girls gushed.

And that's when Spyro resigned to his fate of watching over Flame until his sugar/caffenie high was over.
The short dragon was just too cute during this time for his own good.

"Go away you two..." Spyro glared at them with bored eyes, making it look as though protecting Flame was a chore, but doing it anyway for who knows what reason.
