After a few hours of brain numbing lessons he finally got the hang of it. "So, are we done now?" He looked up from the dictionary and the pile of notes in his lap to the girl sitting next to him. She nodded while smiling feeling proud of her accomplishment. The teen stood up grabbing the scraps of paper and the dictionary off his lap and laid them down on her desk.
"Now that you can speak properly come sit." She patted the spot next to her still smiling. He did as he was told sitting down next to her and crossing his legs. "So.....uhm" Her eyebrows knit as she looked at him frowning. "I'm so sorry, but what is your name?"
"Oh..right." He sat up a bit. "Well in my language it would be Spayikkayuk, and in yours I guess it would be..." He thought for a little bit making out the letters in his head. "Spike. My name would be Spike." He nodded slowly processing it over. "Yeah." A soft smile came over his lips.
"Interesting." She smiled sweetly at him. Man, he loved that smile. Something about it just made him feel warm inside like he was home again. His smile slowly faded just thinking about his home back in the Dragon Kingdom.
"What's your name?" He desperately tried to get his mind off of the memory that clung to his mind making his heart ache.
"Hmm? Oh yes of course. My name is Rarity." Rarity put a hand on her chest and smiled proudly. The slave smiled back. Man, she was gorgeous. Her sapphire blue eyes, her long luscious bouncy purple hair, her sweet smile, just everything about her was perfect.
"It suits you." Spike blushed a little. Why did he just say that? Why was he feeling like this?
Rarity's eyes widened a bit as her face turned a bright red. "O-oh well th-thank you." She pulled her hair behind her ear and smiled shyly. Spike's smile widened. She was so cute. He was unaware that we was slowly moving closer to her. She was so beautiful, so hypnotic.
Rarity watched as Spike moved closer to her and her blush became darker. Was he intentionally doing this? She couldn't help but move a bit closer as well. His eyes were a beautiful emerald green, and the way the moon shone on them made them irresistible.
Spike leaded closer to Rarity's face as she did to his. She smelled so good. He took in her sent and looked into her half lidded eyes. They both leaded in to each other slowly and, now they were mere centimeters away now as their noses lightly touched. The sudden contact made both Rarity and Spike pull back quickly.
The unicorn played with her hair as she looked around the room nervously, and Spike awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck.
"S-sorry about that. I was just um.."
"Oh! It's fine don't worry about it." Rarity cut the other off. They were both fell silent. Occasionally outside they could hear crickets chirp and maybe an owl hoo.
Rarity was the first to break the silence, "Do you like it here?" She asked a cautiously.
Spike looked up at the pony-blood. "W-well I guess. I mean I like it here right now. Though I would much rather be back home...." The slave fell silent after that one little word. He hoped it meant the same thing in her language as it did his. Back home he didn't have to get up every morning just to be whipped and punished for nothing. Back home he was happy and safe.
The dragon bit his lip and tried to swallow the lump in his throat. "Darling, are you alright?" He could hear the mistresses daughter ask worried. He was about to nod his head to say he was, but he stopped. He wasn't alright if anything he was far from just okay.
"No." He shook his head. "I'm not alright. I hate this!" The slave yelled. "I hate having to be here. I hate it here!" He growled deep in his throat as he bared his fangs. Rarity was taken by surprise as she jumped back a little. She would be lying if she said she wasn't frightened by the view of the dragon-blood in front of her.
"The second I see that snobby spoiled Princess Celestia I'm gunna wring her neck!" His growling became suddenly louder as tears began to stream down his cheeks. He dug his clawed fingers into the wood floor as he began to sob. He bent over his knees and put his head on the floor tears still streaming down his face. His claws eventually loosened and he let go of the floor. Spike wrapped his arms around himself in a hug.
"...Spike...?" Rarity felt helpless as she watched the slave hold himself and sob. "What happened?" She wondered as she lightly placed her hand on the teens back. He shot up straight staring at her with bloodshot eyes.
"Don't do that." He said sternly rolling his shoulders. He sighed, "..I'm sorry I freaked out at you. I shouldn't have. You've done nothing to deserve it." He frowned at his own actions.
"Oh, it's fine sweetie don't worry about it." She gentle squeezed his shoulder. "Now if you don't mind me asking why do you want to harm the Princess?" Rarity quieted her voice as she spoke. If word that someone wanted to hurt or kill the ruler of this land got out they would be in deeper trouble than they already were.
The dragon teen situated himself so he was directly staring the unicorn in the face. His emerald eyes were hard and hatred shown in them. "She killed my father, the king of the Dragon Kingdom, right in front of my and my brother. We did anything we could to heal him, but it was already to late." Spike paused a moment to try not to cry again. "I watched as she shot a magic blast through his heart, and then tore his fire jewel out of his throat. How could I not want to kill her?" The dragon scowled.
"You said your father was the king correct?" Rarity was trying not to picture the gruesome image the other just explained to her.
"Yes. My family is dragonic royalty. My mother is royal by blood and my father married into royalty by her. My only sister is the oldest child in my family and she is the princess. My oldest brother had a twin but he died of a rare fire jewel disease. My brother is also a prince. But me..." He paused smiling at the others reaction so far. "I was destined to be the next Dragon King. My blood is royal and when I find my life mate and mate with them I will get my wings." He said proudly, but then frowned. "But since there is no Kingdom anymore and my people are slaves I wont be a king, and I wont get a life mate, and I will most likely not get my wings."
Rarity frowned, "How would your people address you? As king or prince?"
"Prince until I get my wings. Once I get my wings I would have to compete against my father..." He stopped for a second before continuing. "If I win higher dominance than I take the thrown and I become king, but if I don't he would still be king and I would have to try again the next year."
"How does one get a..uh..higher dominance?" The whole thing was still confusing to Rarity.
"W-well...uh" The dragon rubbed the back of his neck as a blush formed on his face. "Um...to gain higher dominance you have to..uh. How do i put this?" He was stuttering a bit with his words. "Sex." He finally said after some mumbling to himself. He saw as the other raised her dainty purple eyebrow. He cleared his throat. Why was this so hard to talk about to a pony-blood? "Well whoever is the first to um..." His face turned beat red as he finished his sentence, "whoever is the first to uh...cum is less dominant than the other." He quickly finished.
Rarity was taken aback at that statement. "So what your saying is you have to have sex with you father and if you uh 'finish' first you are less dominant and would stay prince another year?" Spike nodded shyly. His cheeks was still burning. "Isn't that like incest or something?"
Now it was Spike's turn to be confused. "What's that?" He knit his eyebrows together.
"Well obviously our cultures vary and you might not know this, but having sexual acts with relatives is called incest." Rarity laughed nervously.
"No I think you are mistaken. It's dominance. Simple as that. Nothing weird about it." Spike could tell that Rarity was against the idea of what she called 'incest', but he saw nothing wrong with it.
Rarity put her hands up in defense, "Just like I said cultures vary." She smiled at him, and he instantly became hypnotized again. Stupid dragon hormones! Why did he have to feel this way just because he is alone with a girl.
"So.." He tried to change the subject. "How is your dress all poofy like that?" He pointed at her blue and yellow skirt.
"Oh?" She looked down at it.
"Girls in the Dragon Kingdom usually wear skin tight clothes, but I've noticed here it's not like that." Spike pointed out.
"Yup." The unicorn-blood stood up and lifted her skirt to knee height showing off her slim legs. Spike tried to hide his blush. "See? There is what we ponies call a hoop. It goes under a ladies dress to make it more full." The cage around her was metal and looked a bit uncomfortable. but her legs were smooth looking. He just wanted to run his tongue up them and- he shook the thought from his mind.
I have got to stop thinking like that. He mentally slapped himself for thinking such inappropriate thoughts. He watched as Rarity sat back down. She smiled at him. That beautiful smile that he couldn't get enough of.
