Wings of Fire One-Shots ✨NSFW✨ edition

Gentle: Flame X Squid

To be clear, they are aged up in this. This would be around high school or college age in human years. Warning: Degradation, rough sex, oral sex, overstimulation.

Also holy fish crackers it's been a year since I published on this. :(

Third person POV

Squid rubbed a pebble between his talons, thinking about the problem Morrowseer had given him. "Mmm. I can't figure this out. Flame?" he called. The scarlet dragon stuck his head around the corner. "What, fish-for-brains?" he replied grumpily. "Can you help me with this? Morrowseer wants this by tomorrow and I can't figure it out. Flame rolled his eyes. "It's so easy. If you can't figure this much out, Morrowseer's gonna eat you alive when he comes back."

Flame sat down and regarded the problem, showing Squid how to solve it. Squid's eyes lit up. "Ohhhh, I get it! T-thank you!" He beamed up at the larger dragon. Flame looked away, his stomach feeling weird. "Yeah, it was nothing. Don't ever mention it again, though," he replied.

His tone was hostile, but Squid could tell it was forced. He rested his head on Flame's shoulder. "You know, you really don't have to be so aggro all the time. It's nice to relax and just let stuff be once in a while, Flame," he said, looking up at him sweetly. The red dragon felt the weirdness in his stomach again. "Talons and tails," he growled. "You don't have to be such a moony-eyed pushover all the time, either, and yet, here we are. You let Morrowseer use you like a doormat!"

Squid blinked in astonishment. "Wow. Like YOU'RE not afraid of him, too!"

Flame snorted. "Of course, I'm not!"

"Oh, yeah? Well why don't I tell him about your extra prey this week! That'd be fine, right? Cuz you're not afraid, right?!!" Squid lashed his tail.

"There's a difference between being fearless and just plain STUPID, Squid! Oh wait, you'd know all about that last part! Stupid's wired into your bones. You couldn't finish the SIMPLEST problem in the history of Pyrrhia!"

At this point tears began to fill Squid's eyes.

"Oh, yeah, there it is! Your fallback to everything. Cry about it! Why don't you cry some more, you STUPID, DISPOSABLE PILE OF ROTTING FISH GUTS!!! Won't that just solve everyth-"

Whack

Flame stopped dead in his tracks, eyes open in astonishment. Blood trickled from his mouth, and his head spun for a moment. Squid had whirled around and brought the full force of his tail into Flame's jaw. The little Seawing was panting, seething with anger. "How's that for a doormat?!!" he growled. "Why don't you shut your big, angry mouth for five minutes and get it through your thick skull that not everyone is out to hurt you all the time! Sometimes they could be trying to help you, o-or..." he trailed off, hurt and conflict on his face. "Or maybe they could e-even be trying t-to flirt with you..." he let his words hang in the air, embarrassed and ashamed, ready for Flame to explode on him.

Flame was dumbstruck. Squid... was trying to flirt with him earlier? His stomach was doing all sorts of weird stuff. Was it possible that all the walls he'd put up to protect himself were keeping out good things, too? Like... liking someone?

Squid grew more humiliated by the second. "Just... say something," he said quietly, looking away.

Flame furrowed his brows in thought, confliction clear on his face. "I..." he paused and swallowed a lump in his throat. "I... woah, uh, okay... so... are you saying that you like me? As more than a friend?" he asked. Squid gulped. "Honestly I didn't know you even considered us friends," he sighed. "But I guess that's what I'm saying, yeah."
