You don't know what came over you the very moment you cut yourself for the first time. You were sad and you cut yourself. That's it.
You shouldn't do this! But you are. You're cutting yourself.. All over your arm, leg, torso... You were crying in pain, but you weren't going to stop, when.. Someone knocked on your door.
You panic and grab a sweatshirt to cover yourself and open the door.
".... Hi?" you say through a crack in the door.
"[ ]... Are you okay? I heard you crying.." It was Dan Heng, one of your friends, and he.. oh God, he looked so handsome. But he would probably find out about the cuts, and you didn't want him near you right now.
"What? Of course I'm fine Dan, don't worry" you say with a fake smile.. He knows that.
"Can I come in?" Damn. He must know.
You reluctantly accept, you walk to your bed and he follows you, sitting next to you, he strokes your head, then he speaks in a low tone, trying not to make you uncomfortable, "[ ]...I can see your arm bleeding... Can I please see it?" You freeze, but quickly come back, and then you nod, and sigh.
You hold up your sleeves showing all the hundreds of cuts, and Dan Heng already knew that. He brought the necessary items to take care of your cuts... he probably saw the cuts from other days. "[ ] do me a favor, take off your sweatshirt." Dan Heng asks in a quiet voice. You try to take off the sweatshirt, and it hurts like hell. So the dragon helps you take off the sweatshirt, it hurts, but it hurts less with his help.
So Dan Heng helped you take care of the cuts, he put some medicine on your arm, it hurt, but Dan Heng was always comforting you. After putting on the medicine, he wraps the bandages on your arm, nd take care of your other cuts. and then he strokes your head again. aw.
"Good boy." You froze at the praise coming from the Dragon, but you weren't rejected.
"...[ ]..you need rest. go to sleep" Dan Heng says it like an order "..dan.. I-I.." you try to speak, but... "No. Go to sleep." He cuts you off, "and I won't let you sleep alone. I'll sleep with you." Your eyes widen a little and you shake your head, "what? n-no, I sleep alone-" you stop to speak when suddenly a cold and slightly damp tail wraps around your waist and then your belly. It was Dan Heng's tail.
He makes you lie down on the bed, and then he snuggles in u, hugging you and burying his face in the crook of your neck, in the area between your neck and collarbone, and then he lightly inhales your scent. His tail hasn't unwound from you yet, and it probably won't. But you're not complaining, you liked it. even more so because his tail was cold and wet, a comforting combination for you. and you feel the tip of his tail swing slightly, and that... was cute.
"Dan... you-" "shh, sleep, please sleep." Dan Heng cuts you off, he was practically begging you to sleep. you sigh and close your eyes and try to snuggle into the IL Dragon, but you can't move because of the opening of his cold tail. with that, the IL snuggles closer to you. you're still a little surprised by this.. Dan Heng was never one to show feelings... but here he is. hugging you affectionately, with his wet tail almost completely around you, wrapped around almost your entire torso and one of your thighs and with his face buried in the curve of your neck smelling your perfume. was it because he was more relaxed lately? you don't know. but you're definitely not complaining.
you're asleep in the bigger one's embrace, but he hasn't fallen asleep yet. Dan Heng wants to make sure that you are asleep, so he waits for minutes to finally fall asleep. After about 30 minutes, he thinks that is enough because you are really asleep, so he hugs you tighter and falls asleep.
