Legendary Dark Knight

I wonder who did it

"Shortstuff."

Daniyal simply chuckled. Oh, this was fun. To think he’d go through such a large growth spurt in the time the demon was away. The dragon grinned, flashing sharp teeth as he leaned down enough for their foreheads to almost meet.

The smugness the dragon felt lasted only for a second. At first, his eyes simply widened, but then embarrassment settled upon his cheeks, skin darkening under golden freckles.

Daniyal opened and closed his mouth time and time again, almost like a suffocating fish. What was he supposed to answer in this situation? Especially with the other waggling his eyebrows at him. The dragon squinted, index and middle finger coming to pinch Sparda’s nose between them.

If the blush on this cheeks wasn’t noticeable before, now that it spread to his neck and ears it would be impossible to not be seen. On instinct, Daniyal let go  of the demon’s nose only to turn his back, though could very easily see how his pointy ears were erratically twitching to match his embarrassment. 

"Hey, Sparda? What happens when a couple of bananas breaks up?"

He opened his mouth, ready to answer ‘Banana split!’ but the demon was faster. Plus, he didn’t even seem disappointed at the cheesy joke! 

Daniyal felt somewhat grumpy about his joke being spoiled, but fixed himself up quite rapidly, only needing to clear his throat once.

The taller man’s smile grew exponentially and for a second there, he had to hold back a chuckle. At least Sparda hadn’t managed to guess this time. Daniyal leaned closed, inhaled, then delivered the line.

Nothing could describe the feeling of pride, and maybe a little smugness, that filled the royal right then and there. Not only Sparda didn’t guess the answer, but he also laughed at the pun. One couldn’t help but stare with fondness.

They exist. That's what they did.
