Disclamer: I do not own monster mumuse.
Scales Ch.5
"It's the Beach!"
Draco's co-workers shouted jovially at the fresh sea air that hit them and their skin in their revealing and fashionable bikinis. The Dragonewt herself, however didn't look too joyful to see the great blue seas of Japan.
Oddly dressed in an overcoat, Draco seem to stew in both the heat and her aggravation. Not that it helped Draco feel any better. Her rage is at many things. Her boss for winning that stupid contest that got her the six tickets. She hated how her co-workers dragged her around town to find this stupid dark blue bikini. But the true reason for her anger, is right behind her.
"It's been while since I've been to the beach…"
The cause of her anger made her flinch as he spoke.
Kurusu stood in nothing but his swim trunks and opened shirt holding everyone's gear. To anyone else he looked like a silly pack mull being weighed down by all beach toys, cooler, and umbrella stuff. But the light sheen of sweat that dripped off him as he placed down the equipment. How his muscles, shocking toned and fit, flexed as he whipped his damp forehead.
It all made Draco a tad too hot under coat.
When he's gentle dark eyes noticed her, he smiled that heartbreaking smile. It charmed and lit up Draco's face into a powerful blush.
"D-D-Don't get cocky human!" Draco pointed dramatically at Kimihito and ran off.
"Er…" Kimihito blinked at Draco's odd reaction to him wiping off his sweat.
Ever since their trip to the gym, his Dragonewt roommate has been acting rather odd. Challenging him to manliness competitions, disappearing at the mere sight of him, even hissing at him one time. He didn't even know dragonnewts could sound like cats.
A part of him is relived since her time away from him has given him a chance to sort out his feelings. Knowing that he loves the tomboy Dragonewt is one thing, telling her about is a whole other monster.
"Hey! Lover boy~!" The group of coworkers happily called Kimihito over. He wanted to go and try to find Draco to maybe confess. But maybe hanging out with some friends would make him a little braver.
-OOO-
Draco fumed as she stomped through the beach. Passing by many other lnaimls and humans. Many of them couples on dates, some families of humans and Linamls. It is a fun and energetic atmosphere. Fueled by the festival going off a few miles from the beach shore.
'That damned human!' Draco kicked the sand in her frustration. 'What did he do to me!?'
Draco's heart wouldn't stop beating. Her face is constantly red, and for some reason, every time she looks at that human, there are sparkles around him!
'He must have spiked my drink or something!' Draco hissed. 'Back when we were at the restaurant, he must have put something in my food! Yeah!'
In the middle of the beach Draco nodded to herself proudly, "He must have sunk into the chief's kitchen, while talking to my boss, and spiked my tea! Of course! It's the only logical conclusions as to why I am feeling this-LIKE HELL IT IS! WHAT IS HE!? A NINJA!?"
Draco nearly tore her hair out in frustration. Causing a few passersby to give her strange glances.
"Mommy what's wrong with her?" Asked a son of a passing mother.
His mother replied, without looking at her son. "Just ignore her dear. She's just a tsundere."
Her actions don't add up. All the blushing and fretting It is almost as if she love-
"Nononononononono!" Draco violently shook her head in utter denial.
She can't fall in love with a human. No matter how good of a cook he is. Or how nice he is. Or even how he fact he's the only man that's accepted her and her strange ways. He doesn't care how different she is. About the fact that she's nothing more than a flying lizard and not some great dragon.
Why doesn't she want to fall in love with Kimihito again?
'Because I am a little coward…' Draco sighed in defeat. Kimihito is beyond a good person. He treats her with greater respect then she deserves since she dose almost nothing but demean him.
Maybe she should-
"Oh, oh oh~ Aren't you a cute one?" The sensual voice brought Draco out her mopping.
Her tirade has taken to where Kimihito was wondering around and she found him surrounded by a pack of monster girls. Both in the literal and figurative sense.
It was two ogres, tanned with dangerous fanged smirks and in rather dangerous black bikinis, a gothic like minotaur with rather an alluring dark red one piece and deadly piercings and lastly a ferric looking a bee woman in a yellow swimsuit. They all surrounded Kimihito. Well, one of the ogres lifted Kimihito off the ground by his jacket. The idiotic human however didn't look all that fearful even though they all licking their lips in a very hungry manner.
"Oh~ For a human, your kind of fit~" The ogre in with red hair cooed as she eyed Kimihito's tone figure.
They are some of the few lanmils that take advantage of the non-violence against Lamnals law. Using it to take advantage of humans and cause all sorts of trouble. And this group is clearly one of them.
"Hmmm~ We could have tons of fun you know…" The bee woman hummed as her hips wiggled. Kimihito's face getting more flustered by the minute.
"A-Ah ha ha…I-I am flattered, really but I um…"
Kimihito could be rather slow, but he's not that dim witted. The woman around him are known as man eaters. And not in the cannibal way. On the news, there have been a string of 'attacks' on men. They are left utterly tired, satisfied, and robbed of everything they own. From their house to the clothes off their backs.
"Oi!" A young man's voice caught everyone's attention making them turn to see a rather handsome lizardman walk up to them. "I had a feeling you were taking too long."
Draco, using her male voice, walked up them full of pride and power.
"What are you all doing with my buddy here huh?" She pulled Kimihito form the ogress grip. Warping her arm around him as she looked around the dangerous mon girls. "Who the heck are you guys?"
"Wait, your buddy?" Asked the minotaur, until her eyes grew in realization. Spoke Looking at the beautiful young man and how his 'buddy' blushed spoke volumes. "You buddy as in…"
"Whoa seriously!" The bee girl got even more excited. "So, he belongs to you like 'that'? Wait! Which one of you are uke!? It has to be the human right!?"
"Yup." Draco smiled widely, grabbing Kimihito's face passively as she growled. Only adding more fuel to the 'rotten' bee's desire. "He's with me. An all-powerful dragon. So, ladies better back off my toy."
For emphasis Draco let her wings rip out of her coat. She gave them an exaggerated flap, making the group step back in fear. "Unless you want to tangle with one of the most powerful creatures in the world."
"Whoa! A dragon!?" Even the ogres took a step back. With fear etched onto her their faces.
"Fine he's your prey then." The Minotaur nodded to her friends. "Let's get out here. "
The girls left them be leaving Kimihito to sigh in relief.
"Thanks Dra- "
"What the heck were you doing you moron!?" Draco snapped at Kimihito. "Why didn't try and run away or something!?"
Kimihito took a step back in shock at Draco's rage. Her eyes burning mad but it seemed to be something else hidden there. A deep feeling of concern for him that he noticed.
"If something were to happen to you I'd- "
However, to her dismay, her face started heating up at the realization of the next words that were about come from her mouth. It didn't help Kimihito's stupid, cute, and innocent face was looking at her.
Draco's only option, besides confessing, was to flee. With a blushing face Draco fled the area. Leaving Kimihito to sigh at his loss.
-OOO-
Night had fallen, the sky drown in stars as Draco leaned up against a rock. Once again lamenting at her foul up.
"I am such an idiot. Why couldn't I have just said, 'because I like you'?" In her haste, she and dashed far from the crowded beach and crouched down by some rocks by the shore. Leaving her with just the waves.
"Well hello there, 'mister' Dragonewt…"
Draco jumped and turned to find the pervious group of carnivorous linmals sneering at her.
"Wha-what!?" Draco, in her shock, put on her back on her tough guy act. "You really want to test a powerful beast like me!?"
The minotaur smirked as she walked up to Draco. Her figure towering over the Dragonewt as she loomed over her. "Oh, we really wouldn't dare mess with a powerful six-foot-tall, wing span of ten feet, fire breathing badass."
She poked Draco in the chest as she snickered, "Who's normal bust size is a natural 75DD…."
'Oh crap…' Draco, once again cursed her small stature.
The was a slince that hung in the air before the minotaur started laughing. Making Draco laugh uneasily.
"Ah ha ha! Well you guys caught me! Ha ha! Yeah! You all are too smart for me! Heh heh!" Draco was sweating bullets as she patted the larger Lanmal on the back.
"Oh, ha ha! We sure are!" The minitour laughed jovially while patting Draco a little too hard on the back.
"Whelp!" Draco laughed as she started to back up and try and make her exit. "I better get going now! Ha ha- "
However, she backed up into a very large wall of the toned stomachs of the two ogres. Who both leaned down and smiled at the frighten little lizard.
"Oh, and leave without having any fun?"
Draco tried to leave, but the ogres grabbed her before she could make her move. Lifting her off the ground. Draco tried her best to escape, but the ogres are too strong for her.
She struggled as the rest of her attackers leered over her. The bee girl however. Looking a little defeated.
"A shame you're a girl and all. You and that guy make a cute couple."
Draco blushed furiously, even though she was clear danger, she couldn't hide her embarrassment. "Eh!? We-we-I-I-um!?"
"He was really cute too." The ogre holding up Draco sighed. "Probably not that rich, but it would have been fun to hear his spine snap on a creaking bed."
"I know!" The other ogre pouted. "The cute ones always have the cutest squeals!"
"Oh well, no real lost for us." The minotaur snickered as she gripped Draco's coat. "We'll just have some fun with this little 'dragon'!" She pulled Draco's coat off showing her bikini.
"Oohh!" The minotaur licked her lips. "You are just as cute on the inside as you are on the outside."
Draco struggled in the grip of her capture's, with tears burning at the edge of her eyes. Her pride didn't allow her to scream for help. No matter how much she wanted to. Yet one person comes to mind. One person she desperately wanted to help her.
'K-Kimihito!'
"Ah um excuse me?"
The group of carnivorous girls groaned as someone interrupted their fun.
"Argh!" The minotaur turned with her teeth bared. "Listen you-ack!?"
A large pale of green pile of sludge and seaweed walked up them. The monstrous beast had tires and pipes sticking out from the sides. Random hunks of junk stuck out of the monster's large goo like body. Jagged teeth with a large maw and piercing red eyes glared at the liminal girls.
"Holy crap!" The group of liminal scattered in fear. Dropping Draco and leaving her to the fate of the monster. Draco gulped in fear at how bad her luck was.
"Ah. That worked out a little better than I thought." Until the 'monster' took off its head revealing Kimihito. The human is in an oddly realistic sea monster suit.
"Wha-how?" Draco blinked as her homestay took off the costume.
"Well I saw them chase after you, I made this suite out the seaweed around the area." Kimihito chuckled as he took off his homemade suit before going over to check up on Draco.
"Are you ok?"
"Um…Y-Yeah. Thanks…"
Draco found herself looking at Kimihito a little longer then needed. Her bright violet eyes looked into his deep brown ones.
'When did his eyes get so bright?' She asked herself.
Kimihito blushed as he noticed her intense gaze into his eyes. It didn't help that her bikini was showing. The dark blue two-piece fit Draco's tiny figure beautifully. Showing of her smooth pale skin and dark green scales. Along with her budding bust and curvy hips.
Poo Kimihito did know where to look. "Um…D-Draco?"
The reptilian woman turned even more red at the realization of her staring and turned her face away in frustration" Gah!? D-Damnit stop doing that!"
"D-Doing what?" Kimihito flinched at her sudden outburst.
Kimihito's response only fueling Draco's embarrassment as she grumbled, "Forget it!" and sat down in the sand in a huff.
Being confused seemed to a common theme for Kimihito today. Still Draco looked thoroughly bothered by something. Hesitantly he sat beside her. Not too close for their bodies to touch, but just enough to make her acknowledged his presences.
A silence penetrated the air. The only sound being the steam coming off of Draco's blushing face.
"Have…you ever felt scared?" The Dragonewt asked suddenly. Speaking her mind to him and keeping her eyes on the starry sea.
"Yeah." Kimihito admitted with laugh. "I was actually kind of scared when those girls grabbed me."
"If you were scared why didn't you run away?" Draco asked.
"Hmm…well a few reasons actually" Kimihito starched his cheek in an awkward smile. "Well like you, I am kind of stubborn."
Draco sent a sharp glare at him for that comment, "Oh?"
"In a good way!" Kimihito saved himself form a harsh stare. "I am mean you always say that a man shouldn't run away. I think that too. I guess…I was trying to be like you in away."
Draco could look dumbly at her human housemate. "L…Like me?"
"And well…that's kind of the second reason." Kimihito continued. Looking out deep into the sea. Noticing how the shifting waves remind of Draco's eyes when she laughs. "I knew I could rely on you. I had a feeling you would come and help me. I…trust you Draco."
Kimihito turned and gave her a broad cheerful smile, "Weather you want me to or not."
While Kimihito say it as a joke, Draco turned away even more embarrassed then before. But there is a silly smile on her face.
"You're such a dork you know…"
'My dork.' She admitted to herself.
Chuckling at her brighten mood, Kimihito turned back to the sky. Draco fallowed his gaze. Looking at the glowing lights of the night with better thoughts. They both sat under the starry night. Their thoughts on different ideas, but similar goals. Kimihito looked at Draco, his hazel eyes wanting to say something as he watched the sweet sea breeze pass through Draco's hair. He swallowed any fears he had and opened his mouth.
Only for large bang and bright light to surprise him and catch them both off guard. Fireworks blasted out into the sky. A myriad of colors popped and boomed over the ocean form the boats the bobbed in the water.
"Oh yeah." Draco whispered. "There is a festival going around here."
She turned to Kimihito, "We should probably get back. I don't want my boss to try and fire me for getting lost."
"Y-Yeah!" Kimihito, cursing the fireworks for ruining his chances, stood up. He held out his hand to help Draco.
Tentatively she took, yet she didn't let go just yet.
"Hey," she asked, "Were you going to say something back there?"
Kimihito turned bright red, waving it off he said. "Oh um…. just hoping they didn't eat all the food. Ha ha…"
"O-Oh right." Draco sounded a little disappointed. Until she noticed her hand is still around his.
"Ack!" She gasped as she pulled her hand away. "Let-Let's get back before they eat all the food yeah?"
Kimihito could only agree as he notice how long they were holding hands. They both left the rocky shore to join their friends. Their rather heavy as they didn't look at each other.
