redthedragonContents: my two OCs go off in the middle of nowhere and fuck around. Tazryx bites an apple in half; Nadiya eats something she probably shouldn't have and regrets it. No one is harmed except for Nadiya's stomach. It's like maybe 1k long if that; written while waiting out a rainstorm.
Tazryx rolled his eyes heavensward and snapped his jaws down on the apple. It sheared neatly in half, squirting messily out between his teeth like some sort of annoying sticky fruit gusher.
It was good, sure. But what a terrible way to eat a fruit.
"Okay, Diyel," he said, shaking his head from side to side and then snapping the apple up properly, "was that what you wanted?"
Nadiya stood there with her eyes very wide, looking at him like she'd suddenly noticed his teeth were as big as they were. Blanched, or whatever. He thought, anyway. It was hard to see if she was paler than usual with the way the scorching desert sun had burned her cheeks; she looked like she needed to shed her scales, except for how that was just how humans peeled when they were outside too long. Hid all her freckles, and everything. ANd
"That was fucking awesome," Nadiya finally breathed. "Do you think you could do that with a watermelon?"
"I," Tazryx started.
"What about a raskfruit? Those are hard, but you went straight through the apple like it was nothing! That's so cool, holy shit!"
"I'm not biting a fucking raskfruit," Tazryx said, feeling his fins flare in surprise. "They're hard, that'd hurt my teeth!"
"You're right," Nadiya said, "that wouldn't be fun, would it. Like biting a pebble."
"I'd imagine," Tazryx said. Or biting down on a piece of wood, more like. EIther way, it didn't sound any more appealing than devouring a fruit like some kind of idiot who didn't know how to eat fruit would've.
"Right," Nadiya said, and then kept staring at his jaws anyway. "I guess if I put my head in your mouth..."
"Well, I wouldn't bite you," Tazryx pointed out. "Come on, you know that-"
"No, no, I'm just thinking," Nadiya said quickly. "It would just be really cool, is all."
"I don't think it would be cool to bite your head in half," Tazryx said. It wouldn't. It kind of made his skin crawl to even think about.
"Maybe not my head," Nadiya conceded. "But imagine! Blood goes everywhere, there's brains on the floor, bam! Half a head!"
"I'm not biting anyone's head in half, how about that," Tazryx said, shaking his head one last time to make sure as much of the apple juices were gone before shifting back. "Do you have my pants?"
"Oh, yeah," Nadiya said, digging into her bag. "Hang on, I think they're under, uh..."
"You're not scared of me, right?" Tazryx asked, while she rifled around, moving things back and forth. "For, um, the biting. And stuff."
"You'd have to try harder to scare me," Nadiya said distractedly, still looking. "I had to talk you into biting an apple in half. If I was going to be scared of anyone biting me, it'd be... um..."
Tazryx waited.
"I found your pants," Nadiya said, and handed them over. They were rumpled. There were some sort of crumbs on the side, but given how dusty the road was it wasn't like Tazryx had any room to complain as he pulled them on.
"Who's gonna bite you?" Tazryx asked, shoving one leg into the pants and snapping the sides up so they'd stay on. "In the hypothetical world where you're worried about it, I mean. If not me."
"None of you guys really bite anyone," Nadiya said. "I think it'd probably be me, if it's anyone."
Tazryx thought about it. She had badly bitten him that one time. "Might be."
"Almost definitely. Next worst would be Rex and he's not biting anyone," Nadiya said matter-of-factly. "Oh! Fuck, I forgot these were in here, do you want any of those biscuits we got up in Unilet?"
Unilet? "Diyel, aren't those four months old?"
"Probably," Nadiya said, and popped one into her mouth. "Tastes fine."
"You're going to be so sick later," Tazryx said. "Let's get back to the group, yeah?"
"I'll be fine," Nadiya said. "Don't be a pussy, Tazzy, they're just biscuits. You sure you don't want one?"
"Aren't they hard as rocks?" Tazryx eyed the biscuit dubiously. It looked kind of grayish, and very stale.
"They're not that bad," Nadiya said. "Oh, well. More for me, then."
"Ha, yeah. Keep them all. When you're sick as a dog later, don't think I won't tell you I told you so."
"Go fuck yourself," Nadiya said, laughing, and popped the rest of the biscuit in her mouth. "Okay, yeah, let's go find Cyvil and the rest of them."
Nadiya was on top of the world for two hours, and then sick as a dog for six. Rex wouldn't shut the fuck up about how that was clearly some sort of Sign and Portent for long enough that Nadiya had started throwing sand at him while throwing up in the little pit at the edge of where they'd camped off the main road until he'd left her and Tazryx alone. Tazryx didn't tell her he'd told her so, but only because he knew she knew he was thinking it.
It took three hours more, once she'd finally quit vomiting and shivering, for her to threaten Tazryx with another biscuit. Tazryx considered it, and then, trying not to look as disgusted as he felt, popped the damned thing into his mouth, her hand and all. The sudden shock on her face made up for the taste of mold and stale bread.
Unlike Nadiya, though, Tazryx was not a fucking idiot. He spat her hand back out after.
"If you bit my hand off," Nadiya started.
"I'm not going to bite your hand off," Tazryx said.
"You can't deny it would be cool, though," said Nadiya.
"Oh my fucking fifths I'm going to fucking kill you if you don't shut up about me biting you," Tazryx said, rolling his eyes. "I'll tie you up again like we did when you were still trying to kill me. Skies above."
For a second Tazryx paused - after the words were out of his mouth, that seemed a little too far - but from the way Nadiya laughed, he didn't need to worry about it at all.
Tazryx rolled his eyes heavensward and snapped his jaws down on the apple. It sheared neatly in half, squirting messily out between his teeth like some sort of annoying sticky fruit gusher.
