The following is a short one shot I wrote for a ship I like, it’s mostly fluff and them making applesauce.
-——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Two dragons stood in a cave that was an offshoot of the main caves, no other dragons were anywhere else nearby. Neither of them were speaking though, it was silent but not eerie.
Peril liked Siamang. They were one of the first dragons aside from clay and her friends who wasn't scared of her. It was strange ,but nice. Siamang liked to make food concoctions, she had asked Peril to help. Normally dragons didn't ask Peril to help them so she was slightly flustered but energetic about it.
Siamang was very calm, Peril had learned that most rainwings were like that but a lot of them had hidden depths. Most coconut was still shocking experts to this day. Peril wasn't the most patient dragon, she didn't often meet dragons who weren't scared of her. It made her feel like she shouldn't be places.
Most Rainwings were exempt but still had reservations. Spending more time had helped her rethink the commmonly spread idea that all Rainwing were lazy. Back to the point though; Siamang had no reservations. they had blissfully asked Peril for some help making something. The something had to do with apples and heat.
Apples, Peril had never actually tried one. She was a meat eater and apples burned up when she touched them. Kinkajou said they were good though. They didn't grow in the rainforest, where they'd grow elsewhere alluded her ,but she'd never really thought about it much. Siamang had gathered a basket of them along with some pot.
Apparently the Rainwing wanted her to touch them apple after xe mashed them up. Peril watched her mash the apple up, it was methodical. There must have been some level of care about it. Peril probably, if she could hold things would have crushed them to bit violently.
"Now I want you to touch them for a second, not any longer so they don't burn" Siamang said turning towards Peril and holding the bowl out for her to put he talons in. Peril nodded, she could do this! She put her talons into it for a second before withdrawing them. The apples sizzled with the heat applied.
Now Peril's talon were covered in mushed apple that were now burnt. She didn't mind though, she was more focused on how satisfied Siamang was. The Rainwing had a glint in their "dull" eyes.
"This could use a little bit of cinnamon" Siamang mumbled stirring the mixture. Peril thought Siamang was cute when she got into a project. Peril had watched them, okay that sounds creepy, she promised it wasn't creepy-
Siamang poured a bit of the brown powder into to mush. She'd been told by clay that the brown powder was cinnamon. On its own it tasted pretty bad ,but with over foods it was apparently very good.
Siamang stuck a single talon into it and tasted it. "Mmmmmm" xe said turning to Peril and sticking out the stone spoon. "Want a taste?" They said.
"I-uh- sure!" Peril said, she hadn't expected Siamang to offer her any. She swallowed it, it was actually pretty good. Siamang had been right to add the cinnamon, it made the whole thing a lot tastier.
"This is good" she said through a mouthful of the mush. This caused Siamang to giggle and flash a little smile. Siamang was pretty cute Peril thought. Before she nearly choked, the thought startling her.
"Are you okay?" Siamang asked, she probably would have thumped her on the back if Peril's scales weren't litterally hot to the touch. The thought almost made Peril sad, she wished someone aside from clay could touch her.
"Yeah I'm fine" she coughed out, her eyes slightly watering. The tears burned up almost instantly though, leaving little more than a mist. Siamang tilted their head ,but said nothing. What went on in xer head?
“Thanks for helping me” Siamang said shifting their weight, (they did that when they were nervous, don’t ask why Peril knows). Siamang put the bowl down and flicked their tail deep in though.
Peril tried for a smile, “no problem, I’m always willing to help!”. That sounded friendly right? Peril really wanted Siamang to ask for help again. She liked being around the Rainwing, being around them made her feel this warm feeling inside.
It was the same type of warm feeling they felt when around Clay. Clay was so nice, he made her feel so good inside. A bubbly feeling she couldn’t help, they weren’t ever going to date. Clay was AroAce and Peril was fine staying friends.
She valued Clay and wouldn’t want to lose him seeking a relationship he’d never want. He was a great friend at the very least. He’d always seen the best in her, just like Siamang.
Oh phyrria she liked Siamang! Did Siamang even like her back? What was Peril going to do, she really didn’t want to mess this uppppppp.
“See you tomorrow” Peril said Turing around and leaving before she could do something stupid. She was careful to not accidentally hit something and set it ablaze.
