BEEP... BEEP... BEEP... BEEP... BEEP... BEEP...

*SMACK*

"ugh... stupid alarm clock.."

"hey drosmine! You up yet?"

"wha.. oh, yeah Im up. Whaddya need?" Sarven comes crashing through my bedroom door "HEY! KNOCK FIRST!" I yell at sarven as I dress.

"oh, sorry man. I didnt know you were naked..." sarven says in a playfull mocking tone.

"yeah yeah, laugh it up scale face. And wipe that grin off your face before I do it for you" I reply as I look for my pants.

"is that a challenge I hear? Bring it softy" Sarven says tauntingly as he assumes a deffensive stance.

"you? Defeate me? HA! Why should I waste my time? Buuttt... then again it might do you some good to loose a fight. Your on!" I turn on Sarven and run at him. At the last minute Sarven punces on me pinning me to the floor.

"hey bro you two wrestl... oh. Damn dude I know you two are close... but this?" says Berrwain as he pokes his head in my room to see me nude and pinned to the floor by Sarven.

"whoa whoa whoa! Were not like that!" I quickly reply as I realise what this must look like to Berrwain.

"were not?" Sarven asks.

"no, were not. Youre a dragon and I am a human. Even if we wanted to have that kind of relationship it physically cant happen. Besides, were both male and I dont think either of us are gay."

"oh come on you two! The store is oppen today, remember? We have to get going soon or were going to be late!" chides Berrwain.

"OH CRAP! The store IS open today! Sarven get your scaly butt off of me so I can get ready for work!" I say starting to panic. "Come on man! Hurry up! I gotta go!"

"I dont see why you cant be a few minutes late. Im sure your boss would understand, considering he has you on your back on the floor right now" Sarven says nonchalantly.

I pull my arms free and playfully push Sarven. "I still need to get ready. I cant go to work naked, and you know that. You can get away with it because your a dragon, but im a human, I have to be clothed if I am going to be in public. Besides, nothing scares customers away faster than a naked employee."

"he has a point Sarven. You should let him get dressed. Besides, you wouldnt want any embarassing photos of the two of you in this position would you?" says Berrwain as he pulls out his phone and pretends to take a few pictures

"DUDE! NOT COOL! What are you still doing here anyways!?!" I say to Berrwain.

"I'll give you two lovers some privacy then." Berrwain taunts as he leaves.

Sarven lets me up so that I can get ready for work. "you know Drosmine, your going to have to tell him about our relationship eventually. Its better that you tell him than he find out on his own. And once you do tell him our lives will be better"

"does Berrwain really need to know about it? I know he is my best friend and all, and he knows im a scalie, but does he really need to know just how intimate our relationship really is? Besides, how do you think he is going to react to living in the same house as a dragon that has chosen a human mate? He would never look at you the same way again!" I walk over to Sarven as I pull on my shirt.

"I love you and you know it. I am not ashamed about it either. I just worry about how this will affect your relationship with Berrwain. You and I both know he can be judgemental at times. Besides, he doesn't need to know everything about us. And I just feel that some privacy is deserved in regards to such a thing as the intimacy we share."

"drosmine you only delay the inevitable. Some day he will find out. He always finds out everything you try to keep hidden from him. Remember your laptop? When he borrowed it and found certain files on it? Thats how he discovered your a scalie. How long do you think until he makes the connection between the pictures you draw and who those charecters really are?" Sarven moves to stop me from leaving the room. "you know this has to happen eventually. The sooner the better. You don't want him to discover it on his own. If you tell him first you could still call him a friend, but if you let him discover this on his own... it would ruin your friendship with him just as much as it will mine. You must tell him... today"

"Today? But, we have plans for the next few weeks that involve the three of us and the others from the shop. Do you want this years camping trip to be awkward?" I look at sarven trying to guess his emotion as I talk to him.

"Drosmine, you know just as well as I do that he is going to figure it out by the end of the day anyways. He has already been questioning things between us for the past 6 months because of your laptop. And after what he just saw earlier, he is bound to figure it out. You need to tell him. Before we go to work." Sarven looks me in the eye "you need to tell him now."

I hold Sarven's gaze for a minute before hugging him "your right Sarven. He needs to know."

"Drosmine, don't sugar coat it. Tell him the truth. I will be waiting in the living room. Tell Berrwain to meet us there. Then we will tell him." Sarven licks my chin then walks out of my room and down the stairs.

Great. Now I have to explain to my best friend that I am in a sexual relationship with a dragon. I can already tell that today is going to be one of those days.what else is going to happen today? I think to myself as I walk out of my room and down the hall to Berrwain's room. I knock on his door. Oh god I really dont want to do this. How am I going to tell him? "hey Berrwain! Ive been fucking Sarven for 2 years! Hey lets go to work" Yeah thats gonna go over well.

Berrwain comes to the door "Yo! What's up?"

"I need to talk to you. Meet me in the livingroom in about 5 minutes. Don't ask questions, just do it, ok?" I say nervously, unsure of how to tell him.

"uhh, sure. Anything you need" Berrwain replies, not even attempting to hide that he is concerned about me.

"don't freak out by what I am about to tell you. If you can do that for me I will be forever in your debt" and with that I turn and walk to the living room where I find Sarven waiting on the couch. "He's gonna be here any minute." I say dejectedly as I take a seat next to Sarven. Oh god, what am I about to do?

"Drosmine, relax. Dont get worked up over something like this, it's not worth the hassle. Berrwain should understand if you arent too blunt about it. And yes, I will help explain this to him. Just dont get yourself worked up over this. He needs to know and this is the best way for him to find out." Sarven finishes speaking as Berrwain walks into the room.

"Hey guys whats up?" Berrwain takes one look at me and knows something is about to happen "whats going on? Are you terminally ill? Is Sarven loosing the shop? Whats going on?"

"Berrwain, you should take a seat. This could take a while to explain." Sarven tells Berrwain.

"well it can't take too long, we have to go to work soon" Replies Berrwain as he takes a seat in the recliner across from the couch

"No, the shop isnt open today. I told you both that it was so that neither of you would make any plans for the day. There is something important that you must know Berrwain. This isnt easy for eaither Drosmine or myself to say, so I must ask that you be patient with us. This is a rather... sensitive... matter" Sarven says mostly devoid of emotion as Berrwain takes a seat.

"so uhh, whats this all about then? If you need to go as far as to tell us we have work to be sure we would not have anything else planed for today? I mean, its gotta be something life changing if you go to this extent just to be sure we would all be here." Berrwain says, now more curious than concerned.

"well, uhh.... how do I put this lightly?... you remember those files you found on my computer?"

"well of course I remember them! How could I forget them? Such detailed works of art, and then I realise what exactly is depicted in that art... what abo... Is this going where I think it's going?"

"Well, I guess that would depend on where you think this is going... but those files... well, the charecters in said art... those charecters are Sarven and myself." I say, unable to look at Berrwain.

"Berrwain, before you jump to any conclusions, or make judgement based upon this information first know this. The relationship that Drosmine shares with me is more than just physical intimacy and frequent jokes. The bond we share is and always will be more in heart and soul." Sarven adds before Berrwain gets the chance to say anything.

"guys? Whats the big deal? Your treating this like your telling me I have pancreatic cancer and only 6 months left to live. It's not that big of a deal. I mean, yeah this is awkward as hell, but you dont have to make it worse. Sure I can be a bit judgemental at times, but who am I to judge you two for the loving intimate relationship that you have?" Berrwain replies cooley.

"your not freaking out? When you found the files on my laptop you locked yourself in your room for 2 days, and after that you wouldn't look at me or talk to me for almost a month! I don't understand. How do you react so heavily to simple drawings but react so lightly to such weighty information?" I ask, genuinly confused now.

"Drosmine, the reason my reaction was so severe when I found those files was because I was not the one to find the files. My girlfriend did. And seing as she didnt know it wasnt my computer she pointed out the pictures in a public place then dumped me. I have always suspeted that there was something between the two of you that you wernt telling me. After I saw the pictures, I knew what it was. So I have known for a while, I just didn't want to bring it up because it would be awkward, like it is now."

"wait... you knew!?! but how?" I ask, completely lost by now.

"oh come on Drosmine. Sarven is always licking you, the two of you are always together, you finish each others thoughts all the time, sometimes I swaer you can have an entire conversation just by looking at each other, your always playing around with eachother like 20 minutes ago, and no air freshener in the world is strong enough to cover up the smell of a dragon after sex. And believe me, I know what it smells like. Every time I find the two of you sleeping together in Sarvens bed his room smells like the two of you enjoyed some intimate company. Did you really think you were hiding it all that well?"

"Drosmine, he has a point. We havent exactly made much of an effort to be subtle about our relationship. Not that we should ever have to be secretive about our relationship. Berrwain I appreciate your understanding and remaining calm, but dont go around telling everyone you know about my intimacy with Drosmine." Sarven says whil looking Berrwain in the eye

"Sarven you dont need to worry about me telling anyone about your relationship with Drosmine. Althousgh, I do have a few questions for the two you, if you don't mind answering them. This obviously isnt something you want to be doing Drosmine, so if you don't want to answer any questions I wont ask them."

I shift uncomfortably where I sit and turn to Sarven looking for some sort of guidance. Sarven unfolds one of his wings and drapes it over my shoulders, and pulls me colser to him. "well Berrwain, I would be lying if I said I would be happy to answer your questions, but I did say I would be in your debt if you didn't freak out. So ask and you shall be answered." Im going to hate this, I just know it.

"Well, first and foremost, this question has been bugging me since I saw the pictures. How do you support the weight of a dragon like that without crushing your rib cage? No offense, but look at him! He must weigh close to 600 pounds!" Berrwain exclaims as he gestures towards Sarven.

"oh, I dont. I nevver actually bear Sarven's weight. We both know that if I was to atttempt to bear his weight I would very quickly be crushed to death." I look at Sarven and poke him in the chest.

"okay, and now for the question your going to hate me for. Whats it like? Being with a dragon instead of a human? And how do you take something so massive?"

"DUDE! Don't you think thats a bit invasive to ask?" I reply, shocked that Berrwain would even ask such a thing.

"sorry, I was just curious... well, this is getting really awkward, so I think I'm gonna go change, grab my bike, and head out for a few hours. I will meet you two for lunch at the park. Cya" Berrwain says as he stands up and goes to his room to change.

Sarven and I look at each other as Berrwain walks back down the stairs a few minutes later and out the front door. "Well that wasn't what I thought it was going to be..."

"well no dip. Can you believe he would ask me that!?! could he be any more invasive?" I look over my shoulder to make sure Berrwain didn't come back inside "but now that he's gone, it's been a while... weve got six hours before we are supposed to go to the park to meet him." I say as I lean against Sarven.

"Shouldn't we go to my room for this? We don't want the whole house to smell do we?"

"Then lead the way Sarven" I coment as we get off the couch and head to Sarven's room. As I walk up the stairs I begin to wonder what else Berrwain might know about me that I don't want him to know about, but as I enter Sarven's room these thoughts vanish from my mind almost instantly. I stop dead in my tracks in the doorway to Sarvens room and so does he. Something is wrong, and we both know it. There is a funny smell in the room, a rotten egg smell. "well that's one hell of a mood killer. Now I have to go call the damn gas company to have them come fix the heater again." I mutter angrily.

"is the furnace broken again? I dont understand why you dont just get a new one Drosmine. After all the repair bills for the old one we have buying a new one would more than pay for itself in less than a year. Besides, whats the furnace doing runing in the middle of summer?" Sarven asks, while attempting to cover his nose with his left fore paw.

"your guess is as good as mine. Im gonna open the window, you go turn off the gas outside." I tell Sarven as I cross his room to open the window. As I oppen the window I notice another smell, one that I know from somewhere but I can't quite remember where. Then, as I leave Sarven's room and shut the door I hear a hiss, and imediately I remember what, or should I say, who, that smell belongs to. That smell belongs to Zerinnon, my first non human partner. "Hello Zerinnon. What are you doing here?" I ask as I turn to face the 600 lb albino naga that lies before me. The first thing I notice is not the new tattoos on his chest, nor the tear running down his face, but it is the black eye and the several bleeding wounds on his chest and crown. "Oh my god! What happened to you!?!" I exclaim rushing to Zerinnon's aid.

"please help me. I somehow pissed off the wrong people and now there is a price on my head. I had to get Sarven away from you to tell you. He wouldnt understand, and you know we have never really been able to get along." Zerinnon says as he slumps forwardinto my arms. He looks me in the eye and manages to chocke out "please help me" before dropping his head and bursting into tears.

"Zerinnon you know you can always come to me for help. No matter whats wrong. I dont care if I have to take on an entire country! I don't abandon my friends. Now come on, follow me. There is a room in the basement where you will be safe for the time being." I try to get Zerinnon to follow me, but he goes limp and stops crying. "Oh dear god. SARVEN GET IN HERE NOW!" I yell hoping that he hears me. A few seconds later I hear him crash through the back door and come bounding up the stairs. He comes running down the hall and slides around the corner to see me holding Zerinnon's limp body in my arms.

"whats Zerinnon doing here? I thought he was to afraid of me to come anywhere near this house or you!" Sarven snarls as he slowly approaches me.

"Sarven just shut up and help me would you!?! god! Why cant the two of you ever fucking get along!?! and quite walking towards me like your about to rip Zerinnon's throat out! He is hurt and I think he is about to die! Help me out!" I snap at Sarven, glaring angrily at him. "Please Sarven. I promised him I would always help him if he was ever in trouble. What kind of friend would I be to just let him die here and now?" I say, almost pleading Sarven to help me.

Sarven, hearing the desperate pleading tone in my voice, immediately decides to help me save Zerinnon instead of attack him. "Is he breathing?"

"no, hes not." I reply, almost releived that Sarven is helping instead of making things worse.

"then lay him on his back and check his pulse. If there is no pulse try cpr. If that doesnt work I might be able to do something, but there is no gurantee that it will help." Sarven says, almost sounding concerned.

I lay Zerinnon on his back and check for a pulse. Nothing. So I begin cpr, praying that its not too little too late. But still nothing. "Sarven nothing's happening! Please do something!" I plead.

"Move out of the way." Sarven says rather sternly. Sarven approaches Zerinnon as I scramble to get out of the way. What sarven does next confuses me at first, until I realise that sarven is attempting to perform cpr in a manner that only a dragon can. several tense moments pass while I wait for something to happen. Just when I think it's too late, Zerinnon inhales sharply and his eyes flutter open.

"whats going on!?! Sarven! wh... whats happening? What am I doing here!?!" Zerinnon asks as he slithers away from Sarven, sheer terror displayed on his face. "Sarven please don't kill me! Im in enough trouble as it is!" Zerinnon practically whimpers as he curls up in the corner.

"Relax friend, I am here to help you not hurt you." Sarven replies as he slowly approaches Zerinnon. For the first time I have ever whitnessed Sarven is genuinely concerned about Zerinnon.

"Friend?" Zerinnon asks tentively as he looks up. "you've not called me friend in a verry long time."

"well this is all great and stuff, but there is a bit of a situation at hand right now that I would like to get taken care of. So if you two are done having your reunion or whatever it is thats gong on right now, we need to move. Zerinnon you need medical attention, and we all need to get to the basement now." I say, interrupting Zerinnon before he can say much more.

"He has a point Zerinnon. Someone must really be angry with you to cause injuries of this severity. Drosmine you go call Berrwain and tell him your coming to get him from wherever he is. I will help Zerinnon get to the basement. Get the truck and go get Berrwain as soon as humanly possible." Sarven says, taking charge of the situation.

As I leave the room I can hear Sarven helping Zerinnon get on his back. I wonder what the hell exsists between those two? I think to myself. Then the more amusing thought Zerinnon weighs 650 pounds. Sarven is going to have fun carrying that load to the basement crosses my mind and I can't halp but grin as I walk down the stairs and pull out my phone. I start to dial Berrwains number as I enter the garage and get in my shiny blue Silverado 3500 HD. *ring* *ring* *ring* *ring* "come on Berrwain, answer the damn phone!" *ring* "DAMN IT BERRWAIN ANSWER THE FUCKING PHONE!" I shout as I start the truck and open the garage door.

"sup? Did you decide you would rather join me at the park instead of sharing a bed with Sarven?" Berrwain asks mockingly.

"Just shut up and listen Berrwain. Shit hit the fan over here. We are now hiding someone with a price on his head in our house. So tell me exactly where you are, I am coming to pick you up." I reply quickly as I back out of the drive way and peel out heading to the park. "I need to know exactly where you are right now! There is no time to explain, just get ready to throw your bike in the back of the truck and jump in after it"

"I just got to the park. I am right by the sign that says welcome to venom county park." Berrwain replies, unable to hide the fact that he is worried now. I stomp on the gas and tear down the street, the stack tailpipes spewing arcid jet black smoke the entire way, the turbo deisel engine screaming as I go. I slam the brakes and come to a screeching stop next to Berrwain less than a minute later.

"Throw your bike in the back and get in!" I yell through the passenger window as I tap the gas to get the point across that time is of the essence right now. 5 seconds later Berrwain is shutting the passenger door. As soon as the door is latched I crank the wheel left and stomp the gas, burning the tires as the back end of the truck swings around whille the front tires dont move much. The second the truck is pointed the way I want to go I straighten the wheel and engage the turbocharger. Everyone at the park stops what they are doing to watch as my truck goes screaming down the road, black smoke and fire spewing from the 6 inch stacks in the bed of the truck.

"Jeesus Drosmine what the hell happened!?!" Berrwain exclaims as we fly down the street.

I crank the wheel right and stomp the brake as we approach the house. I burn the tires coming up the driveway and come to a screeching stop just milimeters from the far wall of the garage as I turn the truck off. I look at Berrwain and tell him "Zerinnon just showed up, and he has a price on his head. I will explain once we get inside." I say as I jump out of the truck and rush to the door to get inside, Berrwain practically on my heels. As soon as we are both inside I turn and slam the door shut and lock the deadbolt.

"Alright Drosmine. Were inside, so start explaining what the hell is going on man." Berrwain says sternly as he rounds on me. "what could POSSIBLY warrant this extremist action out of one so typically levelheaded as you!?!" He exclaims.

"I told youZerinnon is back. Now here's what I didnt tell you, I almost held him in my arms as he died! Someone wants Zerinnon dead, and they put a price on his head. I found him in the guest room shortly after you left. Well, more of he found me. But... you just have to see what shape he is in to understand. You and I both know that Zerinnon is more than capable of holding his own in a fight, but damn he was in sorry shape when he showed up. Just come with me and I'll show you" I explain as I turn to the staris and lead Berrwain to the room the the basement were Sarven and Zerinnon are currently holed up. I turn the corner and open the door...

"Oh dear god. What hell has Zerinnon endured?" Berrwain asks desperately as he stumbles into the room.
