For @sanders-sides-a-spec-week day 1 prompt of dragons
Summary: Patton just wants some kids, some draglins to look after and raise for himself, and for Logan to understand why his suggestions for the easiest route to getting them is something he infintely does not want.
Author's Note: I did mean to write more for this, but forgot it was today until it was getting late so well, here's what we get.
/\/\
“I know both our parents very much left us to learn how to survive as soon as we could get our own food, but I'm telling you Logan, when I get my own draglins, I'll make sure they get all the support and protection they need for as long as they want it. They'll always be able to come to me for advise and help.” Patton was stating, arguing, Logan assumed with the observations he'd just made over how differently the human creatures treated their young compared to dragons.
He shook his head regardless. “For one, I was making observations about our people as a whole, in comparison to these humans as a whole, and expressing my confusion over human's endless need for company or community. For two, just where are you going to get draglins from Patton? You dismiss anyone who has flirted with you and the two attempts that someone has made to mate with you, which I will note is the only way for you to get draglins naturally, you've been so disgusted that you refuse to be on the same continent as them.”
Patton's tail thwaped around at them in annoyance. “That's not the only way, and you already promised that I can help raise your draglins if you ever, and I quote, 'experience the urge to copulate with someone for whom procreation can occur'. Given the amount of quests and attacks these human creatures are leading against us, I shall be the best surrogate father any draglin could have.” He huffed out smoke, one of his wings flaring out to gesture at the crowd of humans stalking around the bottom of the mountain the pair were on currently.
“If you desire that to be your route to family, of course I support you and do not retract my offer for you to aid in raising any young I might have. I merely fail to understand why a dragon so desiring of family denies what is both pleasurable and the simplest method to forming a family genetically close.” Logan acquiesed.
“Because I don't find it pleasurable, nor do I desire that. Cuddles are all I need for occasional physical comfort.” Patton stated. “Romance and sex are simply not for me.”
Logan huffed, a couple of smoke rings drifting from his snout. “Yet you only dream of the family that sex should be a fundamental part of acquiring.”
“I'm sure we have a few friends that can I explain to you why the world and who we are doesn't have to run on logic and rational solutions all the time. Roman was only a country away, last I heard.” Patton wriggled more comfortably into the rocky ledge he'd claimed, glancing over the valley again. “We both know that no matter how much I explain my feelings on the subject you will continue to struggle to understand, however much you try to accept it as my decision.”
“That is true.” He agreed, “Besides you're also right that I've agreed to visit Roman while we're in similar areas, so I best be off.”
Guuuuys @thegremlinprince drew me another icon and look how beautiful Patton is <3 Shiny boy! Give Grim all the love in the world, I didn’t even ask her to do this, she just saw that I used her old picture and was like “hold my non-alcoholic beverage.” I love her, she’s the best. (I’m sure tumblr has destroyed the quality, but still! pretty!!)
Warnings: Unsympathetic Roman (Kinda?? Not really his fault he’s doing it for protection of his kingdom.), blood

“Please! Can’t we talk about this?!” Desperately roared a fairly small light blue dragon. The dragon, who’s name was Patton, hadn’t meant to get caught on unfamiliar territory, but he had just recently been cursed to the form of a dragon, and after reluctantly accepting he’d probably have to live like this his entire life, was still getting used to having a territory. And, well, he may have wondered a bit too close to his old home where his friend, Prince Roman, lived, and it seemed that that same friend was going to try and kill him.
His plea was in vain, as the prince obviously couldn’t understand what his roars meant, and probably took them as warnings, since he drew his sword higher. Roman flashed a smile to the dragon. He had already struck him twice, a bleeding slash wound on his left shoulder and another on his scaly back. Patton refused to attack him, though, only choosing to defend himself and try to fly away. But he was so tired from the journey and defending himself, so he tried intimidation, but his small size for a dragon of eight feet tall made it hard compared to the six foot human. “What’s wrong, dragon?” The prince almost sneered, a smirk on his lips as he got ready to charge. “Too scared to fight back, yet you started the fight?”
‘No I didn’t!’ Patton wanted to scream but didn’t get the chance as Roman began dashing at him with his sword and shield ready, making alarms do off. He couldn’t fly, couldn’t run, and doubted he couldn’t defend himself against this. He tightly shut his eyes, prepping himself for the blow, but it never came. When he slowly opened them, a gigantic dragon stood curled around him. He had to be at least sixteen feet tall if he stood up straight. He was dark purple with many black markings, and huge, swirling green and purple eyes. Roman sat on the ground, having been knocked off his feet with his sword and shield laying beside him as he stared up at the purple dragon in horror. He growled at Roman, wings expanding as he opened his mouth of pointed teeth to let out the loudest roar either of them had ever heard in their entire lives.
So, I had this idea wayyy back when the last Sanders Sides video first came out, but then I got distracted with other stuff and didn't get around to this.
Oh, and here's a link to my general Dragon Sides post, if you wanted to see Dragon Roman, Logan, and Virgil!

Ask Tooth and Claw Clan blog: Ask that inspired the picture
Here are some of the earliest drawings! Gonna have to change his design (the paterns at least) Keep in mind, they aren't colored in and were made on paper, so I'll probably color it in from my computer whenever I get a chance. (The last picture, I didn't draw, it was just for myself to find out his color scheme, he's not actually going to look like that)
