"It's alright, you know it's not the first time someone had done this but I just froze and Molly handled it for me."
"What'd she tell her?"
"You're seriously going to ask me all of this when I know you can hear the conversations Molly and I have with people?!"
"I didn't hear this one," he says calmingly as he rests his hands on my shoulders. "Someone had thrown up a block so that I couldn't. That's why I came to check on you."
"Molly," I suspect aloud.
"That's what I thought too but I thought it best to check on you. I'd rather be safe than sorry."
The fiery warmth of his hands start to melt the ice skin that was cast over me and I begin to shiver. I'd cast warmth over me but I'm kind of stuck out and vulnerable until the hour is up. He pulls me close and wraps his arms around my body, it's his only option to warm me. The fiery warmth of being a red dragon doesn't leave him the need to wear many layers. I bury myself into his chest, maybe it'll be easier to say if I don't have to look in his amber eyes.
"What would you say if I told you I love you?" I murmur into his chest.
I can feel him take in a deep breath and hold it in. He stands there stiffly without moving a muscle and I feel like I could vomit. A response taking this long to form must be rejection.
