Training Your Dragon Lover(Kobayashi x Tohru)

Stop

Kobayashi's PoV

"Tohru you need to learn what my line is and why you should stop crossing it," I say sternly " Tohru, I understand that you get highly excited but you need to chill out."

"Yes, Miss. Kobayashi." Tohru says grinning like an idiot, I just sigh not knowing what else to do. Finally, I give up and I head to the fridge for a refreshing beer, I can still feel Tohru's gaze on me. I start to feel butterflies in my stomach, I try to find another sentence to say so I could fill the silence that I deeply hated. Looking down I see her tail and immediately ask about it "So... Uh what's your tail like?" Tohru instantly started to giggle. "Oh, it's wonderful Miss. Kobayashi! So sweet and tender!" "Tohru, I'm not asking about the flavour!" I laugh, Tohru always tries to make me eat her tail, to which I decline all the time, sure she got rid of the poison but I'm not willing to risk it. "I'm just wondering if it gets in the way. That's it." I shrug, while a disappointed Tohru sighs and answers my question. "Sometimes. Like when I'm sleeping! Or when I'm cooking. It knocks things over and I can't sleep on my back or it'll be sore..." I guess that makes sense. "That's interesting." Tohru turns to me and smirks, which makes me a little unnerved. "What?" raising an eyebrow she then asks me a question. "Well, what about you and your drinking habits? Does that get in the way of anything?" First of all, ouch, and second... I don't know how to feel. I get that my drinking is very questionable but there is a reason why I do it.

"Sometimes..." I get up to leave. I don't want to be here anymore, I can't. "I'm going on a walk. I'd prefer to be alone." I walk to the trash can to throw away my garbage. "Wait! Kobayashi!" "Tohru. Stop." she did as she was told and I felt another pang in my heart. "Just take care of Kanna and make dinner." I was walking to the park, it was midnight now, Tohru was probably waiting for me to return. But I could care less. Sitting down on nearby bench memory of my childhood resurface and I re-live the pain of the past. I was young, maybe five or six, playing in my room. I could hear my parents argue over income and how they spend their money. This argument was brought up because I asked for a new book to read. At the time, my family was struggling a little bit with money, simply because my father went out and drank to his heart's content. I overhear one thing and it still haunts my conscience. "Well, it's not like she'll amount to anything! She and her stupid book can eat a pile of dog shit! Our daughter barely shows emotion and will most likely turn out as average as possible!" the shouts continue. Though the rustling of the bushes startle me and I promptly look in the direction of the sound.

However, I only see Elma. "Hi Kobayashi." her blush is just as red as my hair when she says that. Almost like embarrassed. "Hey, Elma. Why are you in the bushes?" "W-well... I don't really have any food to eat so I was hunting... Then I saw you and-" "That's enough." Both Elma and I were startled by Tohru. "What are you doing here?" I question Tohru's actions a lot. And seeing her here brings up many. "I came to get you because dinner was done and gone and you weren't home yet." It's been that long since I left? Geez. "Oh. I see." "Really? Well, you know what I see?" I raise an eyebrow at Tohru's little outburst. "No. I don't." "I see that you're more interested in Elma than me." Tohru whines. "It's unfair!" "Well, it's not like you're paying rent or doing anything Tohru!" Elma interrupts "W-what?! How dare you!" Tohru's eyes begin to glow and her anger boils over. Soon a large beam of light shoots towards Elma.
