(That works! Sorry I took so long…)
Rykah was on the floor, tail flicking happily as he played with several small, shiny, fuzzy bellied, bright eyed, multicolored dragons. Noticing that Sebastian was back he gave a sheepish smile, "They followed me home…?" he said softly, though it was more of a question as a purple one went over to Sebastian curiously, a green one batting at Rykah's tail, and a yellow one batting at his ears.
Sebastian stared at Rykah, sighing deeply. He closed the door with his foot, locking it again. He put his boxes down, tucking his keys in his pocket as he sighed even deeper. He bright his hands up to his face, rubbing his eyes as if in an attempt to erase the situation from his eyes.
"There's no way I'm can convince to take them back to… Wherever you got them, am I?" He looked down, carefully watching the dragon waddling up to him.
"No.. not really…" said Rykah, still smiling sheepishly as a blue one deciding to climb up his arm, digging its claws into the sleeve of his hoodie.
Sebastian sighed again, looking down at the dragon by his feet, which was now playing with the hem of his jeans. He bent down, picking it up, and walked over to Rykah. He deposited the dragon next to the other.
"Well, they're your responsibility. And I don't want them going in my room."
Rykah nodded, his eyes lighting up with pure childish delight. "Thank you, Sebastian!!!" he said, picking up the dragonet and cuddling it.
Sebastian chuckled a little, going back over to the door and grabbing his packages.
"Where did you find them, anyway?" Sebastian asked. Not bothering to wait until he was in his room, he opened the first box, pulling out the bubble-wrapped package inside.
"In a box on the street." said Rykah distractedly, watching a little white one nuzzle against his hand.
"So you brought all of them home?" He slipped his unpacking knife into the bubble-wrap, cutting it off. "What are you gonna name them?"
"Well I couldn't separate them!" said Rykah like it was the most obvious thing in the world, moving to scoop them all up into his arms. Moving into the livingroom he lined them all up on the coffee table, White, Blue, Purple, Yellow, Pink, Green, and a tiny black one. "And as for names…. I'm not sure really…" he said, occasionally moving one back into place, smiling at them.
Sebastian walked over, holding the box of one of his new figurines. It was a posable one, and had been pretty expensive. He looked over the dragonets, thinking.
"What about Ying and Yang for these two?" he asked, pointing to the white and black ones.
Rykah hummed, "Sure!" he said softly, scooping up the black one as he tried to fly off the table. "I was thinking Sunshine for the yellow one, and maybe Viola for the purple one?"
"Sounds good to me. What about Lazuli for the blue one?" Sebastian set his figure down, mouth twitching a bit in a smile. He didn't smile very often, so this was new.
"Nice!" smiled Rykah, petting the blue one's belly as the purple one chirped insistently, seeming to want attention from Sebastian.
Sebastian nodded, trying to think of a name for the pink and green ones. Of course, it was hard to think with the purple one- Viola, Sebastian reminded himself, chirping at him. He wasn't one to really have pets, so to say, but he reached down, patting the dragon's head and scratching its neck lightly.
"What about Sugar for the pink on and Dew for the green one?"
"I like Sugar, but not dew…" said Rykah softly, "Maybe Jade for the green one?" he suggested.
(So we have… Ying (White) Yang (black) Sunshine (Yellow) Viola (Purple) Lazuli (Blue) Sugar (Pink) And Jade? (Green)
(Sounds about right! Adorable beans-)
"Sure." By now, Sebastian had picked Viola up, scratching her belly. His mouth twitched up in a smile again. He might be able to get used to this after all.
Rykah smiled happily, scooping up a few of the dragons, cuddling them to his chest gently. Viola, however, stayed with Sebastian, joined by Ying and Lazuli.
Sebastian watched Ying and Lazuli come over, then gave a defeated, but slightly content, sigh. He picked all three up.
"God dangit," he mumbled softly. "I'm not supposed to be cuddly."
"Admit it, they're precious and adorable, and you would brought them home too if no one was looking, right?" asked Rykah, grinning playfully.
"Yes, they are cute. And I would have brought how one or two, not all of them!" Sebastian sighed.
"Did you even talk to the landlord about this?"
Rykah grinned triumphantly, smiling a little, but he seemed to curl away a bit at the question, "Uhm…. what woul you do if I haven't?"
"Rykah!" Sebastian frowned, shaking his head.
"We need to go at least tell him we're bringing in-" he paused to count the dragons- "Seven dragons! You're lucky this place allows pets."
"Rykah!" Sebastian frowned, shaking his head.
"We need to go at least tell him we're bringing in-" he paused to count the dragons- "Seven dragons! You're lucky this place allows pets."
Rykah winced when the other got upset, hugging one of the dragonets nervously, "I know.. I just…" he sighed, "You know I don't like talking to him… he's always so loud…"
Sebastian took a deep breath, putting one hand lightly on Rykah's shoulder.
"Sorry for yelling. And I get that you don't like him, but we have to register the dragonets with him."
Rykah nodded with a sigh, "You come with me?" he asked softly, his tail starting to flick nervously as he reached for Ying, who seemed obsessed with trying to fly.
