“Ananasss…! Watch! Next time you’ll sssubmit to me..! I’m not losssing to you next time…”
Pitaya shouts, still upset after yet ANOTHER loss to Ananas.
“Hmm..? Still sulking? I thought someone like you would be over it by now. Quit it, to think someone like yourself, a dragon smaller and weaker than me would be this persistent in their useless advances. How pitiful.” Ananas scoffs, really? They can’t even count on their fingers on how many times Pitaya has lost to them and still decided to come back again to fight. Do they have no pride??
“WHAAT? My dragon form is bigger than your’sss! You’re just taller than me in thisssss puny, weak, cookie form..”
“Foolish, no matter the size you prove no threat to me, Pitaya. Admit it, you’re just too weak to win against me.”
…
Guess that was over with. Finally there’s silence..
…
Silence?? Shouldn’t Pitaya be countering back right now- ACK!-
Pitaya didn’t even let Ananas finish their inner thought as they tackled the other with no warning, both of them rolling around in the sand as Pitaya fights to stay on top as ananas attempts to throw the other dragon off.
“HAH! You call MEE WEAK and expect me not to fight back?? You ssstill don’t know me well after all thessse eonsssss, Ananasss? I thought higher of you..” Pitaya says the last part with a smirk, though it has only been a little, the fact they’re currently “winning” has definitely already got to their head.
“ENOUGH! Cease your unreasonable nonsense and get your claws OFF ME! Don’t YOU learn Pitaya??? You won’t win against me, your attempts are meaningless-!!”
“Grrr.. you have NO RIGHT to tell me what to “learn” Ananassss!”
They went on for a while before ananas eventually got Pitaya off them. Sighs, now their armor and scales are more dirty than they already were, much less their hair has sand all in it.. Meanwhile, Pitaya is facing away from ananas sulking- or well growling… they’re clearly unhappy, too unhappy to care about their own messy structure.
Ananas has seen these “hissy fits” from Pitaya countless of times.. It’s the same cycle, that dragon is so persistent… Though, Ananas must say that the other’s determination is one to be admired. Though they’d never admit it, much they let that one reach Pitayas ears…..
Well now there’s ACTUAL silence. Very well, they’ll groom themselves before going back to their nest. They weren’t even planning to be out here until Pitaya decided to ask their foolish requests to them. (They always wonders why they’d never decline.. Pitaya just makes them act a little different. They would NEVER admit that.)
They feel eyes on them… oh gosh not again….
As Ananas looked at the pair of eyes burning on their back, Pitaya was looking back at them with an upset look on their face before looking away. That… made them feel off. It looked so weak, so pitiful. They didn’t like it, seeing a look like that on pitaya of all peoples face just seemed so wrong.
…
Damn it..
Must they always be the one to keep the order on this island….
Ananas sighed, swallowing their pride as they walked over to Pitaya and sat down next to them. Ananas didn’t pay them any mind, they just started to groom themselves. That was what they WERE going to do until they got all these troublesome thoughts and feelings after all, just irritating.
Pitaya didn’t realize Ananas’s presence until they looked over seeing the other dragon next to them grooming themselves. Why were they..? Tch, are they pitying them??? They already sulked enough (unfortunately to admit) they don’t need Ananas rubbing it more in…
“Whatever you’re doing, quit it… I don’t need your pity…”
“What makes you think I’m pitying you, hm? I’m simply cleaning my scales after my altercation with you.” Ananas still didn’t spare Pitaya a glance.
“Why are you doing it next to me then….? There’ssss ssso many places other than next to me, Ananasss.” Pitaya grumbles.
“What? I can sit anywhere I want. Less you forget, this is MY island. I can sit wherever, whenever.”
“…Sssuit yourssself…”
Oh can’t they just quit sulking…
“…Quit your sulking, I don’t like it. No one needs a sulky dragon on there island.”
“What..?”
“You heard me! I won’t say it twice…”
Pitaya was looking at Ananas like they had grown two extra heads. Pitaya doesn’t even know if this is Ananas playing and pitying them or Ananas actually just lost their mind. Did they manage to actually land a head blow on them and they didn’t notice..????
“What’ssss going on with you??”
“What? Can I not worry for my own kin?” (not siblings type kin)
“I never said that!-“
“Then you listen to me for once in your life and stop sulking!”
Ananas feels hot.. hotter than how dragons normally felt and the island wasn’t going through any heat wave they known of. They may just lose their mind if they have to speak those words into Pitaya’s dumb skull for another time. If it wasn’t for their own darker skin, Pitaya would’ve realized how flustered they were over this…. They’d never live that down.
“…Grrr, fine.. but I’ll only lisssten to you thisss once!”
“Finally, and clean your scales! You look like one of those washed up scraps that come up through this islands currents.”
“Hah! I’d sssay the sssame for you!”
Hm.. Pitaya seems back to normal.. they like them better that way…
“Why are you???- Quit that… Weird ssssmiling! It’sss weirding me out..”
That snapped them back to reality.
“Ah- My mistake, I didn’t realize- ah, let’s just continue doing what we were doing.”
“… whatever you ssssay…” Pitaya glances at ananas.
“BUT, don’t you think I forgot! I will come back and defeat you Ananassss! Next time I WILL win!”
Hm, always the same..
“Again, ananassss you’re weirding me out.. why are you sssmiling like that again??? Did I manage to land a hit on your head??”
“Ah- again, my apologies.. I don’t know what’s come over me today..” (oh they know…)
They lied, they’re genuinely never living this whole DAY down.
