Dragon's Bride

The Dragon's Bride

Flames, then ash. Your village will be left with little else should the dragon that plagues the countryside not get his demanded sacrifice...if you're lucky. Your good fortune turns south, the bones of your neighbors (or whatever else remains of them) litter a new charred graveyard that was once a town. So, the necessary offers must be made. At least that's the hope. The alternative would be too awful to contemplate. In a last-ditch effort to save those you love — or against your will, as these things tend to go with forcibly created martyrs — you have been hoisted onto the pyre, waiting for the dragon to fly off with you. What terrors race through your mind as your doom impends? How you'll end up in a beast's belly, no doubt. Except, you must consider this: there are worst fates than being a dragon's next meal. A monster that covets you as its treasure...a new type of danger unfurls its wings. You've become a dragon's bride. But could such an infernal creature ever learn to know honest, unselfish affection? Is it possible to be more than a "spouse?" A mere treasure? Perhaps, you could learn to be a dragon's love. HOW TO PLAY ✗ Comment with your character, roles ("dragon" or "bride") prefs, etc. ✗ Y'all know how this goes. Approach "dragon" as a stand-in. The monster mash could be elves, orcs, goblins, werewolves, demons, dwarves, fey, purple people eaters, what have you. Of course, actual dragon and shifters folks are welcome, too! And don't think that you have to make your boring human a boring ol' human. Consider this the monster/supernatural being/cryptid/creature AU of your dreams! ✗ Second verse, same as the first, "bride" registers as gender-neutral 'round these parts. That word choice just sounds a touch more poetic. ✗ Reply to others.

[ His tail is twitching as he considers Izuku's words. Like a cat which has restless energy, but nowhere to really put it. ]

Heroes slay dragons you know.

[ As much as he likes his dragonic form, all of the sudden he is changing forms. Which means that Izuku is going to be treated to a very naked human Katsuki in a few seconds. ]

Not that you can't still adventure, if you want.

[fullgauntlet]

N-not all of them slay dragons?!

[Izuku perks up very quickly at that. Almost like he's offended to hear it.]

K-Kacchan...?!

[He changed...?? Izuku quickly looks away, his cheeks very hot.]

I couldn't... break my promise of staying here...

[apshot]

[ Yeah he's already strutting around like it's no big deal. Heading towards one of the places where clothing is kept. ]

A lot of them do. You don't think I've had to defend myself?

[ Grabbing at least a pair of pants! ]

But who said you'd be alone?

[fullgauntlet]

[Izuku is just going to put his hand up to his face to block his eyes.]

Um. I ... I know that most dragons don't want to leave... their territory so...

[Plaese finish putting clothing on...]

[apshot]

[ Nah. The pants are about all that is going on and they hang pretty loosely from his hips. Other than that? Completely naked. Yup. Entirely. ]

Why're you covering up your face?

[fullgauntlet]

[Izuku manages a short glance between his fingers before he clamps them shut again.]

Erm- I'm ... Well. [...] I'm not sure you're aware of it, Kacchan, but ... Your human form is ...

[.....]

Really good... looking? So I don't want to look. It would be disrespectful.

[apshot]

[ Oh - ]

Guess that explains the change in your scent.

[ Now Katsuki understands. Izuku finds this form pleasing. Attractive. The real question here is does he mess with him more? ]

I don't wear anything as a dragon and yet you look at me all the time.

[fullgauntlet]

[...?????????!!!]

Eh?? My scent?! What do you mean by that...???

[Please, please don't tell him that Katsuki can smell Izuku's attraction to him that will be too much for Izuku to handle. He'll die and perish on the spot.]

Your dragon form is one thing... but you- T-This...
