"I always wanted a pet."
"You realise you can't keep this thing, right?"
"Why not? It's cute."
"It's a dragon."
"And?"
He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. They had been discussing if for half an hour already, and they weren't getting anywhere.
"Sweetie, dragons are salvage, dangerous creatures."
"So am I when you piss me off."
A smile formed on his lips.
"Come on, look at its face. Does this face look dangerous to you?" She asked, gesturing towards the baby dragon on her lap.
"Yours doesn't either."
"Touché. So...?"
"So, what?"
"So, what do you say?"
He watched as the baby dragon tried to stand up on its small paws to smell his girlfriend's smiling face. She put her hand between its hears and started petting it. Then the little creature seemed to change its mind, and let out a happy noise as it went back to lay on her lap.
He sighed again, but this time he couldn't help that a half smile formed on his lips. The cute scene wouldn't let anyone indifferent.
The girl heard him and looked at her partner, her smile now replaced by a curious expression.
"I say that you're gonna have to teach me how to take care of a dragon."
The biggest smile spread across her face, and he could see the joy painted in her eyes.
He was now sure he wouldn't regret his decision.
