~*wipes away a tear* Flying Doggo and Rock Boi~
âHow was the date?â Horrible. âFine.â âWanna talk?â Nya gestured to an open seat next to her. âNah, I think Iâm gonna go lay down.â âOkay...â
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 âhey, Iâm on a date with a ninja!â
He was strong. He could get through this without cryi-
His last date had pointed out all of the things she thought were âunmanlyâ. What did he care? He wasnât gonna date her anyway. Too many rules.
He picked up a picture frame on the side of his bed. âI miss ya, Rocky.â
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...
âHey Rocky.â A soft grunt was followed by a kind nuzzling. âNah, Iâm fine.â He scratched his dragonâs chin. âYou comfortable?â Rocky nodded and nuzzled Cole again. âNo really, Iâm... I just got fired. How did I managed to lose my job?â
Tears begun staining the ground.
âIâm the responsible one. The one always ready to help. How could I manage to fail? Iâm just a failure. All I want to do is fade away...â
Rocky licked Coleâs face. âThanks, boy. Good to know a have your support.â
âYou were a good friend, Rocky old boy. Thank you.â
Cole through the stick as far as he could and laughed as Rocky zoomed after it. âGo get it! Yeah! You got it! Bring it here! Uh not that way, silly.â Cole chased after his wayward dragon. âCome back here!â
Eventually, Rocky came running back and dropped the stick at Coleâs feet. âGood boy.â Cole rewarded him with a chin-scratchie and a new treat. âBacon and Chicken!â he said perkily. Rocky downed it all in one big gulp.
âI hope youâve got plenty of Liver and Toad, Chicken and Bacon, and sticks in the Departed Realm. I hope someoneâs playing with you every day.â
âKAI JUST GLUED MY HAND TO MY PHONE! HELP!â
âComing, Jay! See ya later, boy.â
