💤 for my muse to say something about yours in their sleep. (sam AND eoin pls c8)
Somewhere along the 1600s, in a dark cave hidden by a hill, slept a dragon. The rumble of his snore echoed through the island, the sound frightened the locals, though the priestesses new better. They tended to the massive garden around the temple, chuckling amongst themselves when they could make a word out here and there from their master’s slumber.
Down bellow, almost camouflaged amongst the pile of gold, slept the dragon. The years went by while he slept, but in his mind the most intricate stories happened, the scenes flashing before his eyes over and over. “We’ve been over this, I said I’m not going to eat you” he huffed in his mind, even though just a couple of unintelible words escaped his mouth “Would you stop shaking already? Here-” the dragon flinched in his sleep, the scene of his claw cutting through her skin still fresh. “Wait, I didn’t- I didn’t mean-”
There was a tremor while the dragon rolled around in his sleep with a huff, some coins trickling down the pile. In his mind the scene changed, and he let out a happy sigh, thoughts of distress forgotten. “Or-” he almost purred in his head, a chuckle bubbling in his chest “-you could just stay here” he could feel the other’s touch, even if faintly, just a locked memory in the back of his head “You could stay with me, love” the words left his mouth, his heart hammering in his chest just as it had that day “I’d- I’d stay awake for you” but then the heartbreak came like a wave washing his fire out.
And the dream cycle began again.
