Patton pov
Patton was resting in his cave, the large dragon  happily in his den. He slept happily, but stirred as he heard footsteps. He perked up and peaked around and spotted a brilliant human not too far. He smiled brightly and watched as the human came deeper into the cave. Patton kept low and stayed calmly watching the human, which was a well dressed male with strawberry blonde hair and  deep brown eyes. A sword was gripped in his hand.

'Amazing, I've never seen a human so close-' It certainly was a treasure to see. He wondered if all humans were as brilliant as this, he doubt it as most creatures came differently. He couldn't stop admiring it.

A plan popped into Patton's head and he quickly climbed up onto a ledge so he was above the human, staring at him as he crouch down. Then in a flash he quickly swiped and brought up the human to his face.

"Gah-" The human yelped and used his sword to slash at Patton's nose. Which cause Patton to drop him hard and placed his forefeet to his nose.

He whined as it stung,gently licking it. 'That was rude!'Patton thought and glanced at the human who aimed the sword at Patton.

"Begone foul beast!" They human narrowed his eyes and swung his sword in warning.

Great,now Patton hurt both outside and in-

He started to teared up and cry softly, tears falling down next to the Human as he covered his face.

Roman pov

Roman was unsure what to do,he never been in this situation before.

All the stories his father told of dragons described them as angry blood thirsty unstoppable beast that won't hesitate to kill-

This one cries over a cut and mean words. Surely dragons aren't that soft right?

"A-are you crying?"Roman asked the dragon, not sure it'll answer.

Though it did through sniffles"Y-You d-didn't have to cut me-" the dragon rubbed his eyes.

"S-sorry just I thought you were gonna eat me! Isn't that what dragons do?" Roman didn't put his sword down,  not trusting the act.

The dragon seemed shocked "do ya'll eat wolves and cats?" He earned a shake of a head from Roman"then why would I eat a human...though I suppose there are some dragons that might..." he looked down slightly.

"So-what were you doing-" he asked carefully.

The dragon seemed to get flustered "to add you to my treasure-" he glanced to the side

"I'm not an object!" Roman growled.

"I-I know that- but you're so lovely-" The dragon whined softly glancing at him slightly,his tail swayed a bit as he looked down at the smaller being."I-I never met such a lovely thing-"

"I'm NOT a thing," Roman growled"I'm a prince who should not be handed in such a way!" he looked up at the dragon he snarled at him,he was the prince. Not his dragon"s toy! Even if he was he youngest child he was important to his kingdom...

He jumped as the dragon laid down his head in front of him,crying gently as his tail swayed. Roman couldn't believe how upset the dragon was getting because of him.

"Will you please stop crying- goodness i didn't even get a name!" he went up to him crossing his arms. They dragon glanced at him and sniffed.

"P-Patton-" he whimpered,blinking a bit to get rid of the tears he had. Roman sighed and went over and started to pet his muzzle a bit. The dragon churred and relaxed as he was petted acting like a dog and cat mix.

"alright...i suppose you're not so bad are you" he chuckled softy and laid down on his muzzle looking into his eyes.

the dragon perked up and swung his tail bag and forth excitedly.

"i am? really?"

Roman nodded and hummed softly,he was started to get comfortable with the dragon despite his size.he was quite nice for what he is.

"why are dragon's always alone?" he decided to ask,curiosity bugging him.

Patton looked up"well...we don't have much of a choice,dragon's try to stay in groups but it makes us an easier find. A lot of dragons can just like being alone but a lot only do it to avoid attention from humans.." he looked down slightly.

"Really? Why?" He tilted his head to the dragon who frowned.

"well humans don't like us being near them or their contained animals so they end up sending their own kind to kill us,many dragons even leave the young once they're big enough-"

Roman stiffened up,he knew human's didn't like dragons but actively seeking them out? that's harsh..."Wow...I didn't know i'm sorry."

"Why? You didn't do it? You can't blame yourself for what other people in your community do"

 "still..." he glanced at Patton"it's not good."

Patton nodded and closed his eyes a bit,sighing slightly"I suppose you to leave now.."

He nodded and looked at Patton gently"I'm sorry but I have to go to my kingdom...wish i could take you with me...."

Patton thought a bit and perked up,setting Roman down and in a poof he became a few inches small,looking up at Roman excitedly.

The prince gasped and picked him up gently, petting the now small dragon in his hands"So cute- that's awesome!" he kissed his head gently and headed out to home keeping the dragon in a hidden pocket in his jacket,every once and awhile Patton would peak out of the jacket and look around.

Roman was amazed by him,he seemed so kind and gently and both sizes. He swore not to let his father or brother get him no matter what they said. He was too precious to be harmed.

He kissed Patton's head gentle and walked into the kingdom,his head held high as he walk through calmly,the dragon drifting to sleep in his pocket. He chuckled softly and let it rest in his pocket as he walked calmly his heart raced as he thought of how he hurt such a precious thing. Yes he was a dragon but he was such a sweet thing,something human's rarely were now a days.

Such a sweet treasure to bring home.
