Yaoi isn't in the Dictionary

Roni ran her hands through her hair. She couldn’t believe Cho! Dragons are never wrong about d words? What does that even MEAN? “Oh yeah?” she replied. “Then what does dactyliology mean, Cho? Or what about d… uh.. dec.. decrassify?” Roni actually had no idea what either of those words meant, they were just words she remembered seeing a few times before.

"And I haven’t got the faintest clue about some h words. Like humanitarian. I don’t know what that is. Or hierarchy.” That wasn’t true. “Okay, I know what a hierarchy is. But not humanitarian. And hippies! They don’t make any sense, like, I think Melanie is one but other than that I don’t know at all!” What was the point. Oh yeah, humans and h words. “The POINT, Cho, is that you CAN’T judge word skills by race. That’s racist. Or something.”

He didn't know what EITHER of those two words meant. Stupid English with it's stupid weird words that didn't make sense. Oh well, he would probably be right if he took a random guess. He was pretty good at randomly guessing. (Not.)

"Dactyologowhatever means those dinosaurs with the wings that looked like birds but weren't. Pterodactyls? Ptero... there are other ones, doo, but that's the only one that matters. I don't know much about them since they din't start with a D. And the other one means, uh. Something about politics." Cho gave her a small shrug. "That's all right, though, not all humans are good at h-words."

[Had he…taken her comment seriously? Or maybe he was playing around, but…either way, how he reacted definitely took her by surprise. In fact, he was even standing on the tips of his toes—was he trying to be intimidating, honestly believing that she was a pirate? Though, actually, her life might’ve been better if she was to go off plundering treasure rather than being forced to destroy actual cities, and…and…]

[…Well, either way; this was a mistake that definitely needed to be corrected right now. There was absolutely no way that Kassie was a pirate, even if she did have a tendency to hurt others thanks to her parents’…”occupation”, or if one of her eyes was missing. Wait, now that she thought about it—did that spark the belief that she was possibly a pirate of some sort? I mean, most pirates had a missing eye, but…they’d usually wear an eyepatch, and Kassie’s mother wouldn’t even let her cover up the wound. It was a constant reminder of…the trauma she’d faced that night rather than anything else, not a mark to signify that she sailed the seven seas and went on adventures.]

[That sounded like a pretty nice idea, though…maybe she’d run away on a ship or something and spend the rest of her life pillaging other pirates, pilfering their gold, even if it was a bit too…far-fetched of a dream.]

W-Wait, no, I didn’t…I mean…I’m not r-really a pirate. [Of course, maybe it was too late to say that; Cho might’ve already gotten the wrong idea and started thinking that she was the best pirate on the seven seas, which was as far from the truth as you could get.] I’m not here to get buried treasure or anything…w-we just moved here because… [Oh, boy. How was she meant to describe that part?] W-Well, because…it…seemed nicer here, I guess.

#monstrouspuppet #short reply

"Shhhhhhhhh. SHSHHhhhshHShhhhhh." Why yes, he most certainly did put his whole hand over the girl's mouth after he said that. "It's okay. I'll keep your secret. But only like. If you give me some of the treasure when we find it. Roni caught me stealing from her piggybank again, so I have NO meat money. No meat money. Can you believe that? What's a guy gonna do with no meat money? Wait around like everyone else for family meals? I'm a growing dragon, that isn't enough."

Wow, if he was trying to do a good job of calming this girl down, he was doing awfully. Come on, Cho, you're better than this. Hurry up and befriend this girl so you can get some of that pirate treasure she's probably hoarding all to herself.

"I guess it's KIND OF nice here, though. I mean like. If that's really part of the reason you came here and you're not just talking in pirate code." All in all, Cho really did like living in Gabdrive, even if he wasn't quite ready to admit it. Although he'd originally left home since he'd been *~*banished*~* this town was a decent amount better than where he used to live. The dragon kingdom'd had so many stupid rules. Human rules were a lot easier to follow, despite the fact that he didn't understand much of those, either.

Cho'd been kicked out of the house for the day because, apparently, that whole chicken the Fishers had stored in the fridge was for dinner and not Cho's lunch. They could have told him ahead of time, but nooo.

And now here he was, still hungry and wandering the town. And he didn't have any money, so he guessed the grocery store wasn't an option. All he had was nature... The great green outside. Which also sucked because he was way too short to reach any beehives. No free honey for this guy.

But what was that? What was that beautiful red thing turning the street corner? What was it? Was it meat? Unfortunately, no, it was not meat. Just two dudes with a wagon full of apples.

"Hey. You guys. You carnival looking guys. Do you guys have any meat in there or do you just have apples? Also if you have meat. How much is it. I'm willing to haggle prices as long as it's. Well. Free."

#here u go!!!!#i apologize in advance if i only reply like once a week dang #travelingsalesponiesnonpareil

It wasn't rare for Cho to find himself in the park of the town he'd found himself settling down in. The air was clearer there than it was in other parts of the town, which made it perfect for sniffing out things that were out of the ordinary. Well, things that were out of the ordinary from a human's perspective, anyway. After all, humans were the weird ones in Cho's mind!

Anyhow, on this particular day, he was met with the scent of- well. He didn't know what it was, exactly, but it wasn't human, and that was good enough for him. Humans made rather boring conversational partners, most of the time. So, of course, he followed that scent the moment he smelled it.

He found himself lost rather quickly, though. This was just the forest! There wasn't anything interesting about the forest. It was just filled with a bunch of boring trees and bugs. And occasionally faeries, but faeries were sort of annoying. And he was pretty sure he was allergic to fairy dust.

So what had he smelled? It wasn't fairy, and it definitely wasn't tree. And that's when he saw her. He saw a walking tree. Oh god. What the heck. That was just so weird. That was so, so weird.

"Um. Are you a tree." Amazing social skills.

So he DID get it wrong? How could ANYBODY define ‘dawdle’ wrong? What kind of loser was Cho? He was such a loser. Why was it that every day Cho seemed like even more of a loser?

"I can’t believe you, Cho!" she said. "Dawdling means moving super slow, not super fast!" She groaned loudly. "Can we just go already? I am so hungry."

She started walking down the street without waiting for Cho to follow. Rude, Roni.

#booksb4looks #sometimes i sit here and wonder if other people see the title of this on their dashboard #and read the thing out of curiosity and then just go like #''this has nothing to do with yaoi''

"No, no. It means super fast. Dragons are never wrong about words that start with d." It was an ancient rule. That he just made up right now on the spot. But either way, he followed after her because there was no way he was letting her walk into that fast food restaurant before he did. He needed to be the first of the two to get his very own car.

"That's okay, though." He continued, once he caught up to her. "Humans aren't good with d-words. Not like dragons are. Because dragons start with d. And humans start with h. So you guys are mostly good with h-words. Like hungry, like you just said."

Well, things just kept getting better. He had to go to China— the other side of the globe, basically. Good luck with that. She couldn’t help but frown, purse her lips in disapproval at that revelation. Seeing how obviously— bothered— he was with her attitude, Ciri didn’t exactly feel like approaching him in a more friendly manner. God, who’d have known children could be this annoying? Also— no offence, but he didn’t exactly sound much older than, what? Fourteen? And that was a stretch. [There are a lot of mountains in China. Do you mean the ones in the north or more in the centre of China?] Not sure what they were called exactly, since she never went there before. She figures it’s best not to talk about the dragon issue. Or about how China is an incredibly long way. Or about how he probably won’t ever make it there— she’ll just talk- write- about what the young lad wants to talk about that won’t upset him. Being China, Ciri figures. [Any idea how you’ll get there yet? It’s not exactly around the corner.] Her words she holds out in front of her while keeping her expression as neutral as possible. In the worst case she looked unimpressed or disinterested, and that was only the truth. But, well. If they somehow established the youngster really does have to get on a train or plane to China, then that works. She’d help him that far— granted that he’ll convince her it’s necessary. She only feels a little bad about not believing this boy, when she often found herself in the same position as him… But children were children, and believed what they wanted to believe. Next morning this one might claim he’s an elf or troll. Things were completely different for her.

"Well, normally I'd, y'know. Fly. But I kind of can't right now because I got banished a while ago. And when you get banished the elders take away all of your magic. Because they're jerks." For real. I mean the least they could have done was let him keep his wings in humanoid form, but no. He had to be stuck without them. Jeez.

As to what mountains, though... Jeepers, he really should have paid more attention in Dragon school, by the sound of things. Well, the past was the past, or whatever that saying was. He was pretty sure that was it. Not that it made any sense to him, but that was okay. Human sayings rarely made sense to him.

"I need to go to, like. The mountains with caves in them. Because that's where my family is, or whatever. But I think most of the mountains have caves? So I dunno. All I know is that they're cl- what's that word. It's like when something's hidden? Clocked, or something." You'd think that after living in America with people who speak nothing but English for such a long time, he'd know the word cloaked, but sadly, he did not. Vocabulary was hard. So, so hard. Especially when you refused to go to school with a bunch of humans. Or really just school in general, because let's face it, he wouldn't like going back to dragon school, either.

"So anyway, I don't think humans can see them. The caves, I mean. They can probably see the mountains." I mean it'd be pretty weird if humans couldn't see the mountains at all. Like what would they even see instead, right? Just a huge empty space? That would be so weird.

Well, whatever. At least this girl was being a little more helpful now, right? Maybe she was smart after all. She did seem to know more about China than Cho did, anyway. Which was pretty sad, all things considered.

Dragons dawdled? Did Cho have the definition wrong? No, that couldn’t be it, EVERYONE knows what dawdling is.

Roni was simply incredulous. At least, she felt like she was. She wasn’t sure about the grammar of that sentence, but she didn’t care, she was definitely downright incredulous. Her face looked something like that time she accidentally ate a soggy potato chip.

"If dawdling is a normal dragon thing to do," she said, "you’re not a very good dragon, are you?"

Uh-oh. That might not have been the best thing to say. Cho was very proud of being a dragon and wouldn’t take an insult like that very well.

He opened his mouth to complain and tell Roni that he was absolutely the best dragon in the whole wide world. I mean, jeez, he didn't have any magic powers or anything like the rest of the dragons did, and yet he still managed to be 2cool for school. 2swaggy. The ultimate swagmaster. How on earth did he do it??? (It's a trade secret, I'll never tell.)

Sometimes, though, even super cool radically tubular dragons had to admit they'd made a mistake. But not Cho. Because he was a super cool radically tubular to the MAX dragon and those guys never admitted their mistakes. Mostly because they never made any.

"Well dawdling means like. Super fast. Right?" He paused for a moment, but not long enough for Roni to actually get a reply in. Because even his pauses were super fast. "Right. And I'm INSANELY fast. I'm probably the fastest guy I know. Even faster than that blue hedgehog on the picture box."

[Kassie couldn’t help feeling a bit unnerved; gosh, she really was an awful conversation partner, wasn’t she? I mean, the redhead was just staring at her, like he didn’t have a response…th-then again, she hadn’t really left any questions for him to answer or the like…was she meant to do that? Really, the only thing that he could have responded with was his name. Yikes, Kass, you’ve gotta work on conversing…]

[Or…well, maybe not. Probably not, and that was thanks to her mother’s prohibitions on any sort of relationship that the blonde could possibly ever have. There wasn’t any need to have friends when you were only going to betray and possibly kill them, anyway…that didn’t exactly stop Kassie from wanting to have some kind of friendship, even though it was going to break her heart to have to kill them. The Troubles of Monstrous Beings: A Novel by Kassie Gillespie.]

[And then—he introduced himself, sure, but…a dragon? That wasn’t possible, was it? Says the frickn monster/human hybrid, but still! Here she’d been, thinking that she and her mother were the only supernatural beings around here…or maybe Cho was really into dragons or something? Those horns on his head could be made of clay or…something.]

Pfft…a-a dragon? Right, and I’m a pirate! [Sure, maybe it was rude to make fun of him like that, but it was pretty funny.]

If she took a long time to respond, then Cho honestly didn't notice. Maybe it was because young dragons were often known for their inability to pay attention, or perhaps it was because Cho displayed a lot of symptoms that could be considered some form of ADHD if he were human. Either way, after his response, the next thing he was aware of was the reply from the girl in front of him, which he gave a toothy grin towards.

He knew it! Not that that should be a surprise to anyone. After all, dragons had excellent deduction skills. And while it was true that Cho had his magic revoked before his banishment, he guessed that was just one of the things that dragons were born with and that no one could take away even if they wanted to.

But if you want an honest answer here, yes, dragon's deduction skills are absolutely 100% part of their magic abilities, so yes, when Cho's magic was taken away from him, so was his underdeveloped skills of deduction. He just wasn't quite aware of all that yet. And, really, can you blame him? His magic deduction skills were taken away from him, after all!

"I knew it!" He swayed his tail a bit in a form of excitement as he stood up on the tips of his toes in an attempt to look a little intimidating. After all, if this girl was a pirate, she was probably pretty tough. Cho was obviously tougher, though. Dragons beat pirates any day. "So where's your buried treasure? Is it here? Is that why you came here?"

Cho was such a nerd. Look at that nerdy grin. Only nerds grinned like that. Even Roni knew that. She knew because she was known to grin like that when her art teacher was around, but don’t tell anyone.

"Yes," Roni groaned. "Right now." She counted the money in her hands. Definitely enough for two happy meals. Not that she was going to get one. Obviously. It’s not like she was some kind of loser. Who wants a toy car, anyways. Not her. Not Roni. Only DUMB people want toy cars.

Roni slipped her shoes back on and opened the door. “Well, let’s go,” she said. “I’m hungry, so don’t dawdle.” Cho wasn’t really known for dawdling, he was more likely to be three blocks ahead of her yelling at her to hurry up, but she said it anyways to assert dominance. He needed to know who the boss was. Not that it would make any difference since he never listened to her anyways.

Cho was about to rush right out of the door ahead of Roni, but he actually made himself pause, because do you know what that punk said to him? She told him not to dawdle. Now, he wasn't quite sure what that meant, but he figured it either meant "don't be super slow" or "don't be super fast."

And detective work told him that it probably meant the latter. I mean why on earth would Veronica warn him not to be slow? He was never slow. Dragons were the complete opposite of slow. They were FAST. Super fast. Faster than Sonic the hedgehog.

So he followed Roni out the door and gave her a very serious displeased face. Super duper serious. He needed to make sure he knew how totally displeased with her he was.

"Ron. Dawdling is ALL DRAGONS DO! That's it. All we do is dawdle. Asking me not to dawdle is like asking Stan not to have barbecues."

#booksb4looks

[Kassie felt herself jump slightly as she was greeted—well, if you could call that statement a greeting. Honestly, the blonde wasn’t much of a socialite, especially after discovering what her family’s secret was. Even before finding out she was really nothing more than a hideous monster along with her mother, she was so accustomed to moving before she met or interacted too often with anyone. That made it a bit less heartbreaking when the towns disappeared, but it was still devastating to discover what her mother had done—so many innocent people killed…]

[Regardless, and changing the subject internally, Kassie faced the man that “greeted” her; her expression revealed her anxiety, and she couldn’t exactly bring herself to smile at this point; how was she supposed to tell him that the place she’d moved from had completely vanished? Should she merely excuse it with something like, “I forgot”, or “It’s not important”? Should she dismiss the question and the person asking it? No…that was much too rude for the sweetheart that Kassie really was. How ironic that she was truly an awful creature that wreaked havoc.]

O-Oh, I…erm…I can’t quite remember where I moved here from. I-I apologize…and…if you’d like, you can just call me Kassie, since that’s my name and all… [What an awkward introduction. You really are a lost cause, poor girl.]

[Though, that was pretty understandable if you knew what she’d been through, a constant move after another. That, and…her mother had forbidden any relationships between her and any townsfolk. “Don’t want to get too comfortable,” she’d excused it as. “After all, I don’t want you to try and stop me from destroying the town. You’d be nothing more than a hindrance, and you know what would happen then.” Gosh, now that she thought about it, maybe she really should have ignored the redhead. Wh-what if she invoked the wrath of her mother…?]

"Okay." He started off. Jeez Louise, this girl was jumpier than that one kangaroo at the zoo that he was pretty sure was secretly a werewolf. Which was weird. Jumpy people were weird. And she didn't even know where she'd moved from? What, did she have memory problems, or something? At least she knew her name, I mean wow.

He could swing this, though. Most of the people he wound up talking to weren't exactly easy conversation partners. Which was sort of weird since he sucked at talking to people too, so most of his conversations with people just wound up being really awkward and probably full of gibberish, but whatever.

Oh, right, he was just staring at this girl now. He should probably say something.

"Okay." Wait, you loser, you already said that, what are you even doing? "Well I'm Cho?" Now we're getting somewhere. Even if he did say that like a question. "A dragon. I'm a dragon." This was going downhill fast.

[Kassie couldn’t resist feeling anxious—and even anxiety was an understatement regarding her current emotions. Her family had just moved into a new town—Gabdrive, wasn’t it?—and the blonde knew exactly what that meant. Another town for her mother to wreak havoc upon, and another town added to that horrid guilt weighing down upon her as she was quite aware that her mother would force her to assist.]

[What could she do in protest? Nothing, that’s what. Her mother was much more powerful, having even torn out her own daughter’s eye without so much as a shred of remorse, even going so far as to leave the socket hollow, without anything to cover it. At the very least, by now, Kassie had grown accustomed to the partial blindness, though it was still extremely uncomfortable to realize that it was completely empty and, most likely, still a bit bloody—it still burned like hellfire, that much was for sure, but she was still lucky to even have an eye left.]

[Once the car was parked in their new driveway, Kassie took a moment to look at the town they were soon going to decimate; it was so beautiful, the sky a shade of baby blue, and the clouds so fluffy…it was going to be horrible to see this place destroyed because of them.]

#monstrouspuppet #hollaaaaa

Wandering around town, at this point in his life, had become a rather usual part of the dragon's daily schedule. He'd spend a portion of the day at the park, sniffing out any non-human smells. After all, as bad as his social skills were, Cho rather liked meeting new creatures, even if it was only to question them about every aspect of his being and remind them that dragons were most definitely superior to them in every way.

Unfortunately, not every day could be some grand adventure, and whenever there weren't any interesting smells to be found, Cho spent the rest of his day wandering down the streets and staring hopelessly at the deli that he'd been banned from for trying to "steal" some ham from. He would have paid for it later, I swear, but some people just do not appreciate a nice IOU card, I guess.

There was something that interested Cho today, though. While he didn't usually stop to converse with humans, this one had an unusual sort of smell, which Cho decided, through super cool detective skills, meant she was new in town since he hadn't seen her around before and he was pretty sure that house was empty last week.

What he didn't realize until he got a bit closer, is that the girl only had one eye. Yeah, that was weird, but hey. Maybe she was a pirate or something. That'd be interesting.

"Hey! New girl. Where did you come from." What a great way to greet someone!

cirocchiomoved

Hey now, he didn’t have a snout or wasn’t covered in scales either. If the boy truly was a ‘dragon’, then he ought to look like one and.. no offence to the costume (which looked fairly convincing), but it didn’t resemble a dragon. Not in her eyes at least. But ah— there came his point of course. ‘Not when he was like this’.

Her annoyance changed into a more amused, slightly mocking expression. So he implied he could transform into a full dragon, was that it? He was welcome to demonstrate. As for their residence— Ciri thought there were some people who lived in the mountains, just not in caves perhaps. Either way, for a brat, he sure was convinced in his own right. Stubborn. Mostly stubborn. And annoying.

As for the listening part— she hadn’t done anything but that from the beginning. The boy seemed to confuse ‘listening’ with ‘believing what he said’. But that was the thing with someone who tried to convince you of something— once agitated, they were prone to become offensive and frustrated, losing sight of what they wished to accomplish. Ah, well.

He said nothing about looking at her. Listening. So she did, with both ears and her nose would have too, if it had that ability. Sadly enough, her unusually large nose didn’t come with extraordinary skills, not even an extraordinary sense of smell. And while the ‘dragon’-boy coughed up a… bit of smoke and then his lung, Ciri’s eyes were focused on her paper; writing down her next response. [I’m afraid my nose can’t hear, despite it’s size. But I’ve been listening from the very beginning, I can assure you of that. ] When looking up halfway her reply, the only thing she saw was a cloud of smoke and coughing young boy. The link with cigarettes was made quickly— now, hey. There’s a limit in trying to make someone believe they’re supernatural. He could cut it out now. [Aren’t you way too young to be smoking? If this goes on, boy, I’ll inform the police anyway. It’s no surprise that they don’t believe you if you say that, though. How about you lie to them? Where is it you’re heading, anyway?] Seriously. There was a limit to how far one could take a joke.

#fric k i missed this???? and ur on semi-hiatus no w im so sorry #thymara

"It was supposed to be fire" He said plainly after several long long moments of staring at the girl. Why had he been staring at the girl, you ask? Mostly because she sounded like an idiot. Cho spent a lot of time staring at people he thought were stupid, because humans had this interesting quality where the idiots and the smart witty people were all very much alike. As such, it was hard for Cho to distinguish the difference between the two categories most of the time.

He was pretty sure this girl was dumb, though. Because she said she was listening, but it sure as heck didn't seem like she was. Although Cho was still under the childish impression that listening and believing were two very similar things.

He wasn't quite sure why she was threatening to call the police, though. He thought it was pretty obvious that fire wasn't a thing that was going to happen, and he was pretty sure you couldn't arrest someone for breathing smoke in someone's face. Especially when that face happened to be your own, even after all of your attempts. Maybe he'd learn to breathe fire someday. He really, really hoped.

Jeez, though, this girl wasn't even talking to him with real words, but she was still managing to rub him the wrong way. It was a world record.

"But ANYWAY," he continued on, after he'd coughed a few more times. "I need to get to China. But not just China, because I need to get to the mountains in China. On China. Around China? Whatever." He thought he'd already made all of that pretty clear, but he guessed not. "Also, I'm not a boy. I mean I am, but I'm probably way older than you." What a great comeback!!!
