¿♥︎ {- Unexpected Love -} ♡?

~ Chapter 2 ~

Why did I have to be beside Pitaya Dragon Cookie? Being within 10 metres is close enough in the first place! So why DRECTLY BESIDE HIS SLEEPING BODY?!?!

"Khhhh...." he groaned.

I flinched at the sudden noise. I definitely let my guard down too much nowadays.

Suddenly, he shot up straight, his groggy expression disappearing in a blink. I nearly fell off the stool.

"GAH! WHAT HASSS HAPPENED?!" He hissed. "WHERE AM I?!"

I dropped my journal on the floor thanks to him, ugh.

"Quiet! How dare you yell at Her Majesty Hollyberry Cookie of the Hollyberry Kingdom?!" Wildberry Cookie shouted at Pitaya Dragon Cookie.

I dropped my journal again, just as I picked it up. So from the cause of all that surprise, I fell face-flat on the ground.

"DANG IT!" My muffled voice rang out.

"You! Finally came to your senses, have we?!" Hollyberry Cookie yelled at Pitaya Dragon Cookie while lending me a hand to help me up.

I slowly scrambled back onto the stool while grumbling from the pain of hitting myself on the cold, hard, wooden floor. At least my journal was OK.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie stared at me for a moment, and I stared back. He soon shifted his gaze to Hollyberry. "You... YOU! Hollyberry Cookie...! YOU BROUGHT ME HERE...?"

I looked down at his tail; the tip of it had been chopped off. 'I wonder how that happened?'

"I'LL BURN YOU TO A CRISSSP...!"

I slapped a hand over his mouth. "SHATTAP! You're hurting P/N's ears..." I snarled, imitating his anger.

Pitaya Dragon cookie stared at me in shock. But did nothing. Only carefully pushed my hand away.

"Me and Y/N Cookie have told you to be quiet! Here, have this... berry juice," Wildberry said, glaring at Pitaya Dragon Cookie. "It will help you calm your nerves."

I simply munched on some F/F while continuing to write notes in my journal and draw Pitaya Dragon Cookie as he viciously gulped down the berry juice.

"Aah..!" He said smiling, clearly satisfied with the taste.

He began to drink the rest of it even faster than before.

"Wow." Was all I said.

"KHAAA! TASSSTY!" He exclaimed, with more enthusiasm than I would normally expect from a dragon such as him.

I immediately wrote down, '- Really likes berry juice. Seriously,' in my journal.

"Noted..."

"Well, of course!" Hollyberry Cookie scoffed. "You won't find a finer establishment in all of Berry Forest!"

"What isss it all about?! Why did you bring me here?!" Pitaya Dragon Cookie asked. "Aaah... Didn't have the gutsss to end me, pathetic Cookiesss?"

I lifted an eyebrow at him, then wrote down something else; '- Extremely cocky personality.' I giggled at it.

"... Aaah, I sssee. You, mortalsss, want sssomething from me!" He hissed.

"Yes... and no," I quietly whispered to myself.

"As a matter of fact, there are a few things we want!" Hollyberry said sternly. "You could start by 'gracing us' with a somewhat believable explanation! Why would the bane if the Dragons Valley who used to keep the entire land in terror be found amidst the Berry Forest just like that, all of a sudden?!"
