A lonely valentine's

The day went as normally as any other day for me, but add a little more dread and sadness.

No it wasn't raining nor did I get hurt in a way, it was something else, something more upsetting than those...

Valentine's day....that was today.

All day, I saw love between couples and friends and family...mostly couples, I even saw some people propose to their partners.

Now I know what your gonna ask, 'oh!? Why don't you like valentine's day?', 'its because you don't have a partner yet, in time you'll love it.', 'you just haven't found the one yet.' and all that crap.

Well the answer I have is.... I don't know....I just never really liked it, even as a kid. I never brought candy for the other kids on this day and no one gave me any unless they did the whole class.

But after all day of hearing and seeing lovely dovey people, I finally get home and do somethings around my home.

Cooking, cleaning, dancing and singing, and some other random things until night falls.

I get into bed and think out loud.

" another day of love...for everyone but me..."

By the way, the name anth (AN-TH is how you say it), I go by he/him pronouns and as said before today was valentine's day, or....at least the end of it.

"just one more hour to go, and this stupid day is done. The only positive is the candy and chocolate will be on sale, so I know what I'll be getting tomorrow." I say as I look at my ceiling.

As I look at the ceiling I think back to when I was little and my brother telling me about stories of monsters under kids beds, I wonder if it's still a thing now even though I'm an adult... Let's see.

"hey demon or whatever under my bed...wanna be my first valentine? Even though we have under an hour to do so?" I say smiling, knowing that there's no way-

I heard something under my bed, then a hand with long black claws was now on the side of the bed and pure white eyes looking at me, just above those eyes was short black hair with sharp black horns, along with pointy ears instead of regular ears.

"r-really?" Said the demon(?) In a soft tone.

I look at him with wide eyes, he notices my surprise face and hides his lower face so only his eyes are seen above the side of the bed.

"oh...uhhh....I didn't mean too... How is this...?" I was quite confuse and didn't really believe this was happening.

'am I having a sleep paralysis attack or something...?'

I just kinda look at the demon and he seems concerned.

"was it not for me? Sorry.." he says as he starts to go back under the bed.

I crawl over and try to grab his hand, I somehow did and pulled him back a little to see me.

"I... I did mean it for you, I just thought that you weren't real or wouldn't answer. " I quickly say, pulling him onto my bed.

"oh....well...that's good to hear." He says quietly.

I put my lamb on so I could see him a little better. He was tall even when sitting and quite buff, with skin the color as the void, hair black as said already and glowing pure white eyes. Horns are big and the only clothing he had was a small cloth around his lower area, which I quickly looked away from before I got caught staring.

"I'm sorry if I scared you." He says running the back of his neck and looking away from me.

I smile a little and say " it's fine, you really didn't scare me. Just shocked me was all."

He looks back at me and does a small smile.

"do you still want me to be your valentine?" He asks, his face showing a bit of a darker tone around his cheeks like a blush.

I felt my cheeks heat up and nod my head a little.

"sure. What is your name by the way? My name is Anth." I ask flipping the blankets off me and getting up.

He gets up too, to follow me, " my name is Knot. Where are we going?"

"To the kitchen for a late night snack. What would you like?" I explain as I open the fridge door.

"Do you have chips and dip?" He asked.

I nod and give him the dip and go over to the cabinets to give him the chips.

"Would you like to watch something?" I say as I got my own snacks.

He nods and we both walk over to the couch and sit down. I turn on the TV and flip through the channels landing on a movie I've seen before.

"Is this show ok?" I ask eating some chips.

Knot nodded his head, and I made a 'hmm' noise. We sat watching the movie until we both fell asleep.

' I change my mind about valentine's day, it's decent. But I still like the day after better.'

I say as I start to walk over to the dragon.

Flower, my sister, whispers yells at me.

"idiot! Don't do it!"

I Walk over to the sleeping dragon, clearly ignoring her and slowly put my hand out.

'ok Jazz you got this.' I thought and I brought my hand closer to the dragons head.

I look behind me to where Flower, who is clearly shaking behind a rock covering and uncovering her face to look at me with wide scared eyes.

I turn back to pay attention to the dragon in front of me, and finally my small hand touches it's huge head.

...

The air was still, it felt like everything was frozen in time and I held my breath. I rub back and forth on the dragons head. It luckily didn't wake up. Instead it made a sound.

A sound that was familiar, too familiar. But I didn't know where I heard it before.

I slowly take my hand off and quietly walk back to the rock Flower was behind.

"Flower? You ok?" I whisper looking for her.

I looked around and saw that she wasnt there, then I heard a faint snore and looked down to noticed that she fainted on the floor and was drooling everywhere.

"Sorry sis. But you know this was always my dream. But you don't have to worry I'm alive and did what I always wanted to do. Now let's go home." I say as I pick Flower up bridal style and start to walk out.

As I walked out of the cave the ground started to shift and I went still and turned my head around slowly.

The dragon was moving...

Its mouth opened wide and its tongue went in and out. I held Flower tighter Incase I have to start running, till I realized what it just did.

' did It yawned?' I thought as I looked at the sleepy dragon, who put its head back down on its front claws. Smoke started to come out if it's nose again and I stood there for a bit longer. Just to make sure it was fully asleep.

Once I knew it was fully asleep I started to walk again.

Some time passed and I was at home making some cookies for Flower when she woke.

"hmm mmm mhmh." I hum a little tone as I mix the batter and but it onto the cookie pan to bake.

As I put the cookies into the oven I heard someone come down the stairs.

"good morning sis. How was your nap?" I ask her as she sits down at the table across from me who was reading a book.

"it was good." She calmly said and sipped the tea I put there for her.

We live in a small house in the woods away from the village. It belonged to our parents but they left while I was 10 and Flower was 13. I'm now 20 and Flower is 23. Been ten years since they left...

Anyway...I don't really like people so Flower mostly gose to the village to get things we need, while I stay and take care of the garden and house.

As for money, Flower does different jobs while I look for lost items in the woods and keep them 'till Flower comes home. We go through them and see what is sellable, trash, and we keep whatever we want for oursleves.

Flower was sipping her tea and slowly woke up more and more.

"hey Flower we need more-"

"THE DRAGON!!" Flower yelled, almost dropping the cup. But she caught it and put it on the table, then ran towards me.

She grabbed my shoulders and looked me up and down to make sure I wasn't hurt any where.

"w-what happen when I was out? Your not hurt, right Jazz? Imma kill someone if you are!" I put my hand I her head.

This always calm her down. She took my hand off her head and held it in hers.

"I'm fine sis, really. The dragon didn't do anything. It was asleep." I smile, teeth showing which is rare for me to do.

She smile back at me and nodded her head. "That's good to hear."

We both sit and I talk about what happened in the cave, how everyone in the village was really happy that both of us got back safe and sound.

" That's good to hear I guess...." Flower says with a sigh.

I sigh "What's wrong?"

She looks out the window and puts her Chin on her hand. "You think they are proud Jazz?"

I tilt my head at this question." They who?"

"Mom and Dad dummy. You think they are proud of us?" She says looking me in the eyes.

I look at her and thought about this, them the timer went off for the cookies.

"Yes, they are very proud of us. After all we've been through so much the past 10 years that others wouldn't be able to handle it. Not to mention we got to see a real dragon!" I say putting my hands up at the last sentence, then slamming them down to hop out of my seat so I can get the mits.

Flower laughs and I tilt my head while putting on the oven mitts.

"what's so funny? Huh?" I say going to the oven and opening the door.

Shes laughs a bit more before she clams down.

"Sorry bro. It's just...is the dragon really all you think about?"she questions me, sipping the tears fro her eyes.

"Kinda...maybe...yes...BUT THATS BESIDES THE POINT!" I yell, kicking the door to the oven close and putting the tray of baked cookies on top of the stove to cool.

She nodded her head and got up to go over to the stairs.

"I'm gonna go take a shower. Also breakfast was nice as always." She states as she walks up the stairs.

I nod my head and cleaned up the dishes and put them in the sink to wash.

'wonder if others will see the dragons...kinda hope not.'

I get the rest of the dishes and start to do them while I wait for my turn to take a shower.

30 minutes later Flower comes down and waves for me to go up stairs.

"I'll be going to the village to get somethings. You need anything?" She asks as she puts on her shoes.

"dish soap, bread and butter. Be safe." I say as I dry my hands on the towel near me and walk towards the stairs.

She nods and leaves closing the door behind her and locking it.

'time to finally take a bath. Been waiting for one for a while....' I thought to myself as I get to the bathroom.

I get a bath towel and start up a warm bath. I get undress and do some other things before getting in, shaving and cleaning my face for one. But once done I dip my foot in to check and it was nice, so I step in and slide in nicely.

'very warm...' I think as I sink a little so only my nose and eyes were above the water.

' I wonder if that dragon is ok. It's in a cave people go in. Not a lot, but enough for people to know that's a safe cave.'

I reach for the shampoo and start to wash my hair. As doing so I thought back to the weird sound the dragon made yesterday when I pet it.

' wonder what that sound was.... It sounded familiar... A grumble...no...'

I finished washing my hair and started to clean my body.

' a low rawr? Nah....that's not it.' its mouth would've been opened.'

I drain the water and get out and wrap the towel around my waist.

'its on the tip of my tongue...what was it.'

I try to grab my clothes but they weren't there.

' crap.... I forgot to grab some clothes from my room.'

I open the door and walk to my room to get clothes. Still trying to think of the sound the dragon made.

As I get closer to my room so does the word I'm thinking of.

I reach for my door handle and turn it.

"that's it!" I say to myself, throwing the door open and hitting my fist on my hand.

"it was purring!" I say and I saw something I didn't expect to see In my room, or someone...

A tall buff guy with wings and long horns the color of blood was in the middle of my room. There were scars all over his tan skin, his bright yellow eyes looking at me wondering if he should attack or not.

'uh oh...'

"...can I help you by any chance sir?" I kept my voice calm and collected, trying really hard not to show fear.

This guy looked at me and came over, he was tall and looked like he was gonna snap me in half.

' please don't kill me...I don't have clothes on.'

He bent down to be eye level with me, looking at my blue eyes with his glowing(?) Yellow eyes.

"do you live here?" He asked.

I nod my head. "Yes, me and my sister live here. Our parents are gone. So it's just us."

He hummed and squinted his eyes at me.

'what the hell did I do?' I thought.

This situation isn't good. I'm basically naked, only a towel to cover myself with, a random half whatever guy (who's kinda cute) is in my room, and I don't know when Flower is getting home.

As I was lost in thought the guy said something.

"sorry, can you repeat that. I wasn't listening." I laugh a little and rub the back of my neck.

"I said, Are you and your sister the ones who came into my cave to try and steal my treasure? If so whatever you took I want back...NOW!" His voice was deep and rough.

" I-I'm sorry, we were taking a walk through the cave. We always do it once a month. And with the treasure part, well.....we never took any. Once my sister fainted I picked her up and left." I state.

The guy didn't seem pleased with this response.

'wait did he say HIS cave...oh shit...there's a half dragon in my room.... Flowers gonna be pissed if she comes home and sees this.'

"look, I swear on everything that me and my sister didn't take anything. Once we saw you(?), We were gonna leave." I say putting my hands up.

The half dragon still piss narrows his eyes at me more.

"but I will say, we didn't leave right away..." I was gonna continue but the guy started to yell.

"SO YOU DID TAKE MY TREASURE!" he yelled.

"n-no, no, we didn't. You didn't let me finish....you see, I loved dragons since I was little. So when I saw you And noticed you were asleep I had to do something, which was pet you, so I did, trying my best to do it gently so I wouldn't wake you up." I explain to him calmly.

The guy seem to calm down, but still had his thoughts about all of this.

'come on man... I just wanna get my clothes and take a nap.' I sigh and cross my arms.

"look dude, can you just leave, I'm tired and naked. We didn't take any treasure. I petted you, I will admit that. But in the end, me and my sister are just two young adults who want to live a normal-ish life." I state, my tone is stiff and angry.

The half dragon looks me in the eyes and say. "Sooooo...you didn't take anything"

"NO!" I yelled.

"WE DIDNT TAKE ANYTHING!" I swing by arms in the air and yell at this guy.

"you weren't scared when you saw or touched me?" He ask.

"I was at first, but when I heard the noise you made when I petted you, I realized that you may be nice. Cuz you're so cool and again since I saw you were sleeping I knew this would be my only chance to pet a REAL dragon without getting killed." I explain moving my arms and hands down.

He just let looks at me like I'm crazy, but then he laughs.

I tilt my head in confusion. "What's so funny?"

"you petted me because you thought I was cool? Haha." He laughs at the end. Making me feel embarrassed.

As my face turns red, the guy comes closer to me.

"if you wanted to pet me you could've just ask." He says.

I scoff at that. "You were just about to kill me seconds ago because I 'stoll' your dumb treasure. I don't think you would've heard me out back in the cave."

He goes quite for a bit and nods. "Yeah...you right..."

"I know. Now can you leave? I really wanna take a nap now and get dress." I say as I motion to my toweled body.

Seems like this half dragon dude just realized I was basically naked and went little red, turning his face away too look at the wall.

"I'll go back to my cave, sorry for bothering you. If you want to...uhhh... Come by again to 'pet' me, you can, You seem nice and cool enough to do so."

I look at him in schock. "R-really? Your ok with that?"

He nods his head, a little red creeping into his cheeks.

"well, how about we met up this Saturday?" I ask.

"ummm. Sure, Saturday is good for me, what time?" He ask, seeming shy all of a sudden.

' probably embarrassed about the state ment I made earlier. ' thinking to myself.

"what about....let's see....noon?" I say

"sure that's good...by the way, what's your name? Mine is leo." Says the half dragon dude.

"mine is jazz. It's nice to meet you." I say with a small smile.

He grunted while nodding his head, then went over to the open window.

' must've been how he gotten in... Should really lock it now huh.'

He stood on the frame of it and look back at me.

" Sorry once again for accusing you of stealing my treasure." He says quietly.

I give him a warm smile. "It's fine. I'll see you Saturday?"

He nods and then flies off into the afternoon sunlight.back to his cave.

"I'm so gonna tell Flower about what just happened...of course after I get dressed and take a nap." I say to myself as I get my clothes out, get dressed and get in bed.
