~*wipes away a tear* Flying Doggo and Rock Boi~
“How was the date?” Horrible. “Fine.” “Wanna talk?” Nya gestured to an open seat next to her. “Nah, I think I’m gonna go lay down.” “Okay...”
He ran to his room and slammed the door. Why was everyone the same? Every blind date only cared about getting in his pants or making a BorgTube video because “hey, I’m on a date with a ninja!”
He was strong. He could get through this without cryi-
His last date had pointed out all of the things she thought were “unmanly”. What did he care? He wasn’t gonna date her anyway. Too many rules.
He picked up a picture frame on the side of his bed. “I miss ya, Rocky.”
Cole was a failure. The most focused ninja of the team had managed to get himself fired. How could he? He was... He was... Tired...
“Hey Rocky.” A soft grunt was followed by a kind nuzzling. “Nah, I’m fine.” He scratched his dragon’s chin. “You comfortable?” Rocky nodded and nuzzled Cole again. “No really, I’m... I just got fired. How did I managed to lose my job?”
Tears begun staining the ground.
“I’m the responsible one. The one always ready to help. How could I manage to fail? I’m just a failure. All I want to do is fade away...”
Rocky licked Cole’s face. “Thanks, boy. Good to know a have your support.”
“You were a good friend, Rocky old boy. Thank you.”
Cole through the stick as far as he could and laughed as Rocky zoomed after it. “Go get it! Yeah! You got it! Bring it here! Uh not that way, silly.” Cole chased after his wayward dragon. “Come back here!”
Eventually, Rocky came running back and dropped the stick at Cole’s feet. “Good boy.” Cole rewarded him with a chin-scratchie and a new treat. “Bacon and Chicken!” he said perkily. Rocky downed it all in one big gulp.
“I hope you’ve got plenty of Liver and Toad, Chicken and Bacon, and sticks in the Departed Realm. I hope someone’s playing with you every day.”
“KAI JUST GLUED MY HAND TO MY PHONE! HELP!”
“Coming, Jay! See ya later, boy.”
