>After about 15 seconds, you figure you've gotten the floor as clean as you're going to
>When you straighten up, you look over your shoulder at Fizzle
"Heh, sorry about my language. Wasn't paying attention there and I burned my mouth"
>He doesn't respond
>It looks like he zoned out sitting on the couch... with his eyes level with your waist
>You wave at him
"Fizzle? Anybody home?"
>He shakes his head and looks up at you
>He blushes
>"Sorry, my mind went somewhere else there for a second..."
>You roll your eyes and decide not to push it
>You pour the mess into two different bowls and carry one over to him
"I really do apologize anout the food. I promise I normally eat better than this"
>(You don't, you're a lazy cook)
>You consider warning him about how hot it is, but figure, as a dragon, he could probably handle it
>He sniffs at the bowl before taking a sip
>You can tell he's supressing a grimace at the taste to be polite
>'Yeah,' you think as you taste your own, 'not my proudest culinary moment'
>"Uhh, thanks Anon. Its really good. Really"
>He forces a smile
>You crack up
"Now I know that's a lie"
>He starts laughing with you
>Its nice to see him relax a little
>You end up eating half of Fizzle's bowl for him, but otherwise, dinner passes uneventfully
>After you fix up the tear in the couch, you head to the bathroom to take a shower to clean the grime of a hard day's work of of you
>Once you finish, you head back out into the living room, planning on showing Fizzle how to work the shower before you head to bed
>It looks like he's already fallen asleep though
>He's even cuddling one of the pillows
>D'awwwww
>You go to your room without bothering him
>After stripping down to your underwear, you climb into bed and get comfortable
>You're just about to fall asleep when you hear it
>The soft sound of crying in the other room
>Shiiiit
>You have no idea how to comfort him, but you know you can't just leave him alone in there
>Drowsily slipping out of bed, you walk over to your door and quietly open it a peak
>Fizzle is sitting up on the couch, head buried in a pillow that's resting on his knees
>Every couple of seconds, a soft sob racks his body
>You open the door a little more
>It squeaks
>Fizzle sits up in a flash, throwing the pillow halfway across the room
>"Anon! I, uhh... I'm sorry I woke you up..."
>He tries to continue, but chokes on another sob before he can get any words out
>You can't come up with anything to say
>So you just don't
>You walk over to the couch and put an arm around the white dragon
>Immediately, he grabs you and buries his head into your arms
>He's not trying to hold back the tears anymore, and the floodgates open
>You end up holding him like that, with him crying into your chest, for awhile
>Eventually, he runs out of tears and just lays across your lap
>You pet his back and ridges with one hand while he falls asleep holding the other
>Not wanting to wake him up to move, you lean your head back and drift off with your new roommate in your lap
