A sigh of relief is heard from both you and Zenth as the house appears to be silent. Turning the doorknob, the dragon poked his head inside and scanned the interior for anyone. Luckily, the house was as empty as it had sounded when you were at the door.
“I guess we’re pretty lucky,” Zenth commented, wiping a drop of sweat off his forehead. “Haha, look, I was so nervous about anybody else seeing you that I actually started sweating!” You smiled, secretly hiding the fact that you were also sweating a little. “Awesome, since nobody’s here yet, I can give you a tour of my house.”
The next few minutes flew by as your friend showed you around his gigantic (to you) living quarters. Finally, after seeing the kitchen, the living room, the bathroom, and everything else, he took you into his room. It looked mostly clean, much better than most teenage boy’s rooms you’ve seen in the past. There were a couple piles of dirty clothes, but that was about all. Zenth plopped down on his bed, gripping you tightly in his hands so he wouldn’t drop you. He then kept you held between his thumb and index finger, above his head so that he was looking directly at you. Gazing downwards at his colossal face, you become light-headed. Zenth released a huge yawn, giving you a full view of his wet throat. You immediately winced; knowing very well what would happen if he let go. Of course he kept his grip on you, making sure you wouldn’t become one of his afternoon snacks. You were still nervous however, even after he closed his mouth.
“Umm.. do you think you could set me down somewhere? I-It’s just that I’m… I’m getting kind of dizzy up here.” You gave your best convincing smile to the giant dragon head below you. “Yeah, sure little guy.” The giant shifted a bit and set you on his left palm.
“Hold on, I just need to take my shirt off really quick. You know, hot day and all,” Zenth said. You gave a small nod and waited as he grabbed the collar with one hand and gave a strong tug, helping the article slide off his body. He then tossed the shirt aside and stretched out on the bed, setting you on his now bare chest.
With the shirt gone, you saw for the first time his tan-colored underbelly, which covered most of his stomach area. You also got to see his wings slide out from under him, which must have been folded up under the t-shirt. They were mostly black (no surprise there) but also had streaks of red down the edges. The tips could have easily touched both walls if Zenth wanted them too, but he kept them only a few feet away from each shoulder. The dragon put his hands behind his head and yawned once more.
“So, what’s the plan?” you asked, a little bored. “Well, until we figure something out, you can eat and sleep here. But I’m not sure if I should show you to my family yet. They may attack, since they’ve never seen a human before.”
“Wait a minute…” you said. “How do you know about humans? I remember you mentioning their name before too.” Zenth’s face contorted, and he responded “Oh yeah, that. Humans are kinda “fictional” in our world. Sort of like how we aren’t real in your world. I mean, you’ve heard of us before, right?”
You laughed. “I guess you’re right, but I never thought anthros would be real, and I never would have known they would be the size of buildings. Zenth smiled and started to respond, but was interrupted by a loud growling noise. You felt a rumble below you, and looked down to see the dragon’s massive hand rubbing his empty stomach. “Hehe, guess I should get some grub in my gut, huh?” He gave a large grin, once again frightening you. Hopefully “grub” meant actual food as supposed to, well, you.
‘Stop thinking like that…’ you scolded yourself. ‘Zenth’s nice; he would never intentionally eat me. Besides, I’m sure he has plenty of other food in his house, so why would he need to use me as a snack?’
“Umm, hello? Are you still here?” the anthro asked, waving his hand in front of you.
‘Oops, I must have spaced out again.’ “Yeah I’m here.” Taking a few seconds to sit up, you get into a more comfortable position while on your friend’s chest.
“Alright, so do you want to go grab something to eat? There should be some chocolate pudding lying around.” “That sounds great, thanks!” You feel really grateful that Zenth found you outside the school, who knows where you might be now without him.
“Cool, let’s go!” The giant lowers his palm for you to step on to, and when you do he gets up and starts walking towards the kitchen.
