Sir Knight Tommy And His Adoptive Dragon Dad AU
I have an idea and it’s bedrock bros so I thought I should share it.
Young knight Tommy is sent out to collect intel on a abandoned dragon horde nearby. He’s quick on his feet and good with sneaking around, so he agrees. When he gets to the cave and walks inside it looks well abandoned. It’s dirty with trinkets and coins scattered around. Not neat and tidy like most dragons kept there horde. Tommy goes to pocket some of the gold because he’s smarter to assume he’ll get any from the rest of the knights. Only to stop in his tracks when he catches onto someone looking at him from the shadows.
He draws his sword, ready to fight whoever was there. Only to hesitate when he sees a boy his age. He means, the guy has deep purple eyes, scales along his face, wings and a tail but there was no mistaking the other was sentient. This wasn’t a dragon horde, it was a nest. Dragon nests are always messy, because the hatchlings require a lot of looking after and tend to get into trouble. The boy was a dragon hatchling, a shifter one too. Tommy lowers his sword, taking a step back. He should kill him, the other would grow up into a beast one day. But he looked so… like him.
Tommy goes to leave, an excuse already forming in his mind. Only to freeze when he turns around to see the biggest dragon he’s ever seen. The scale colour - pink - tells him of its power. There were at the top of the food chain, neck and neck with black and white scaled dragons. (He ignores the fact the hatchling behind him had colours of both) It looked pissed and it doesn’t take long for him to realize that the dragon in front of him was the father of the one before. He tries to make a run for it but is stopped by the dragon slamming him into the walls, his mouth opening to—
The dragon stops when the hatchling starts to whine. They both look over in time to see the younger dragon shift and put itself between Tommy and the older dragon. It looks back at him, head having to tilt downwards because of its hight. But the message is clear as day. “I won’t let you get hurt.” He doesn’t know why it’s protecting him, but he shakily nods anyways. The father to the hatchling looks confused, then disinterested after deeming him no threat. (Well, after it eats his fucking sword)
Tommy runs out of the cave. Then a week pasts and he’s back, tiptoeing around. Because he may be a knight he’s also very interested in dragons. He has full journals about them. There beautiful creatures, deadly, but beautiful. He’s found straight away when he trips right into the cave. He looks up to see the hatchling’s hair being brushed by another man. It doesn’t take a genius to see who the other was. The pink hair and dragon shifter features tell it all. He’s not killed on sight, so that’s a good thing. He stays at the entrance of the cave, content it’s just…watch.
But then the hatchling runs over and pulls him into the cave, setting him down in between his fathers legs. Tommy’s yelling. He’s about to get eaten, isn’t he? Only pain never comes, instead it’s a brush going through his hair. He tries to look up but it stopped by a loud growl. He decides to sit still. It becomes routine. Every couple of days Tommy visits the two dragons, gets harassed into eating, bathing or hanging out with his Ranboo. It’s three months later that Techno (he had translated their names from the dragon’s language by the end of his first month) gives him a golden necklace.
Dragons don’t give gold to outsiders. It’s against there very nature. Tommy goes to give it back, because it has to be a mistake. But he’s stopped by Techno giving an identical one to Ranboo. It had a pendant on it. One that looked like a family symbol. He remembers a passage in one of the old books about dragons. That after there babies make it out of their first stage of development they’ll be given jewelry with symbols on them. To show other dragons that they are protected. Tommy looks around the cave then, also remembering that dragons have multiple children at a time. But for some reason Techno only had Ranboo…
He looks down at his necklace, then over at Ranboo’s. He may be stupid for not realizing it sooner, but he knows now that no matter what, Techno and Ranboo are his family.
