Night Fury's Wrath

Chapter 91: Wanting [Part 3]

-This chapter will focus on Vaskr and Nibbler, but I think they deserve the spotlight for a while. So, of course, there will be some 'fluff,' though I'm sure you Vaskr and Nibbler shippers won't mind that. :P

Enjoy!

I didn't want to get up. Since the moment I returned to the waking world, I was drowned in a blissful smell, and I didn't want to risk making it fade away. It reminded me of Nibbler and the wonderful dream I had about becoming mates, but it was much stronger. That hope was still out of reach, but experiencing the things I did in that dream would be amazing...

Maybe I could try harder to sway Nibbler in my favor, but not right now. This scent was too good to leave so soon, even if it made my head feel fuzzy.

A warm body stirred under my wing, which I hadn't realized was there, and then a soft trill came from under my head. "S-Sorry for furr...mones," Nibbler mumbled meekly, her voice sounding unusually wonderful. "Smelly stuffs. Dreams got... um... strong."

The blissful smell slowly faded, much to my dismay, but it allowed my head to clear up and recognize Nibbler was the warm body, and she was under my wing. Also, a clearer mind let me feel my interest in Nibbler's 'smelly stuffs.'

I yelped and leaped aside away from Nibbler, hastily covering my pride with a burning face. "I-I'm sorry!" I blurted. "I don't know what came over me!" Technically, I did know what happened, but blaming her for her pheromones wasn't going to make this situation any better.

The gorgeous Light One merely blinked slowly at me. She remained on her back, clearly not caring that she left herself so exposed. "Why hide? See it before," she warbled, puzzled. "Not new. So, why afraid?"

It took me an embarrassingly long time to process her words. "Y-You... have?" Of course, I remembered when she'd accidentally seen it during one of our more heated activities, but that was only for a brief moment. Now, Nibbler spoke as if she knew every detail about it, like she'd actually seen more than a glimpse.

Nibbler raised a brow and nodded down her underbelly. "You even use it before! You not rem...ember?"

I froze. "Th-That wasn't a dream?" I whispered, hardly believing my ears. She shook her head. "We actually mated?" She nodded. "For real?" Again, she nodded. I stared dumbly at the grey dragoness, belatedly feeling the strange pulsing warmth beside my core. "...No way. Y-You're my mate?" No wonder Nibbler suddenly looked and smelled so amazing!

Nibbler stared at me incredulously. "What? You no want anymore...?"

"Nonono!" I yelped, rushing back to the perturbed female in a panic. "O-Of course I do! More than anything! I-I just... just can't believe it!" How the Hel did I manage to win Nibbler over? My memories of courting Nibbler felt like a blur, some of which I still wasn't sure were reality or dreams. I was very happy—but also terrified—that she was now my mate, but I never once thought it would actually happen! It always felt like an unattainable fantasy—or on some occasions, a nightmare—before now.

Nibbler eyed me uncertainly as I stood before her head for an upside-down view. "Not believe... how?" She warbled slowly. "I not good enough? Too good?"

"Much too good," I breathed, drinking in the view now that I was up close. In the past, I learned I fancied her type by all the long stares and jittery feelings. But, for some reason, Nibbler was even better now. From her head to her tail tip, from her slow breaths in and out to her twitching tail, she was great.
