Destiny High

Chapter 3: Sick For a Test

I woke up entangled in Deathbringer's wings. I was a bright pink with ruby red and blushing like a tomato on an awkward date. I struggled to escape his mighty strong wings. 

"Hey, doofus. Get off me." Said, prying at his wings. 

"What if I don't want to?" He said, pulling me in again. 

"What if I said no?" He added, kissing me on the lips. I let him have his moment and then pulled away. 

"I need to go to school..." I coughed wildly after the last word. I shook with each cough and my throat felt hot and scratchy. I lost strength and flopped hopelessly back into Deathbringer's warmth. 

"Thanks for helping my case universe!" I thought. 

"Easy there my queen. You are going to stay home today and focus on sleeping." He said, wrapping his tail around me. Between his wings and his tail, it was like I was trapped in a cage. 

"But the test..." I said, coughing. 

"You are staying here whether you like it or not. I promise to stay with you the whole day." He said, cuddling with me even further. 

"I need my air." I said, gasping from the heat. 

"Sorry." He said, lifting his wing. I quickly jumped off and shook myself out and stretching my sore muscles. I coughed and gave a sneeze, splattering venom on the floor. The hissing subsided when I poured some of the emergency venom on it. 

"Oh my moons! I might have to break up with you! What if I'm sneezed on and die!" Deathbringer joked. Blues covered my scales unexpectedly. 

"Oh! I'm sorry Glor!" He said, hugging me, "I'll kiss you anyway." 

"Your such a dork." I laughed, hugging him back. 

"Glory! Bring your handsome boyfriend down here for some breakfast!" Mother called from below. 

"Did she just call me handsome?" Deathbringer asked. 

"I'll punish her later." I said. Deathbringer pretended to pout but I touched snouts with him to "cheer" him up. He pecked me and ran down the stairs playfully. 

"I'm gonna getcha for that!" I cried, rushing down after him.

I pounced on him as he reached the bottom of the stairs. He gave a big "oof!" as I landed on him.  

"Dang your heavy!" He said. 

"Your the big lug." I said, then coughed. 

"Glory! Stop squishing your boyfriend!" Macaw said from the kitchen. 

"Yeah. Stop squishing me, Glory." Deathbringer said with a mock, snotty voice. 

"You hippo breath." I laughed, pocking his snout. 

"You guys are weird." Jamba said, eating a tomato, lettuce, and cheese sandwich for breakfast. 

"Oh like you don't stand on me ALL THE TIME!" I said, making a face at him. 

"Now that I got to see!" Deathbringer said. I crouched down looked into his eyes upside down. I gave the angriest face before I pecked him on the snout. He blushed, I laughed and got off him, he stood and stretched his wings. 

"Jamba! Finish your breakfast dear! You're going to be late for your first class!" Macaw said. 

"See ya love birds!" Jamba said, walking out the door.
