Send me a ship and a number.

Number 17: “Hold me. Just for a bit, okay? I just… I need someone to hold me.” Sorry this turned angsty. Hope that’s okay!

“Where were you, Kole?”

The pink-haired women in question looked around her bedroom, frantically searching for the source of that voice.

“Where were you, Kole?”

The voice called out again, accusation and sadness dripping with each word. As jerked her head around, she noticed that this room was not actually hers. At least, it hasn’t been hers in years.

“Where were you, Kole?”

The geomancer spun around and this time was met with the familiar face of a man she had lost so long ago. He looked so real, with his tanned skin, curly-golden hair, and big blue eyes. She was tempted to reach out and stroke the back of her delicate hand over his rose-colored cheek, but she knew better. It was the look in his eyes, or lack thereof. They were emotionless, void pools of nothingness. This man was not her died lover, for that man would only ever look at her with love.

“Where were you, Kole?”

When he spoke, his voice felt cruel and bitter, another sign that this was not the man she once cared about.

“What-what are you talking about Jericho? What are you doing here?” Her voice quivered as she spoke and she took tentative step closer to the ghost.

“Where were you, Kole?” He repeated. “Where were you when I needed you?”

Kole felt her body shake and hot tears gather in her crystal eyes. She took another step.

“You-you needed me?” Her voice broke into a whisper.

“I needed you. He captured me. Tortured me. Murdered me. Where were you, Kole? Where were you?”

Kole let out a loud sob and a pathetic whimper. “I-I don’t know.” She shook her head and lounged herself at him. “I’m so sorry, Jericho! I’m so sorry!”

The girl cried and fell right through the image of the man. The ghost dissipated as she crash through it, and the women fell to the floor with a thud. The room began to spin and she didn’t bother standing back up. Instead she laid there on the carpet, head in her hands as she openly cried to herself.

“Kole?”

Her loud sobbing kept her from hearing her name being called.

“Kole!”

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” She screamed in between her sobs.

“KOLE!”

The blue-eyed women jumped up out of the bed and heard a loud thud, followed by a throbbing sensation on her forehead.

“Shit!” She heard the deep and aggravated voice of her husband curse beside her. She turned to look at him, her hand cradling her forehead, and saw he was doing the same thing. It just dawned on her that they must have bumped heads.

She wanted to scold him for cursing like that, but she was far too shaken up to think clearly at the moment. Instead, she turned away from him and pulled her knees up to her chin, resting her head there. Though it had all just been a nightmare, a horrid, vivid nightmare, she must have been crying in real life, because she still had stale tears run down her tear-stained face. She felt the bed shift as the man beside her scooted closer to her. He didn’t touch her, but observed her for a moment. His chocolate-brown eyes staring intently at her, as if she were a wild animal that could run at anytime.

When it became clear she wasn’t going to start a conversation, he took it upon himself to begin the interrogation.

“So…” Drake began. “Do you want to talk about it?”

She didn’t look at him. Instead, she simply stared off into the darkness of their bedroom. “No.” She replied hoarsely.

He nodded his head in understanding. Of course, he was dying to know what her dream had been about to make her cry so much, but he knew better than to pry. After all, he had his fair share of secrets too. On the other hand, this was the women he loved. The mother of his child. The only person he cared more about was their daughter. There was no way he could just sit there while she looked so…troubled. So, he did the only thing he could do to comfort her. Slowly, as not to startle her, he stretched out his arms, wrapping each around her waist, and pulling her close. Her lack of fidgeting acted as silent permission, and he tightened his grip around her, forcing her to move so that she was practically sitting in his lap.

She rested her head on his bare chest, soaking in the warmth that his body naturally emitted. He placed a tender kiss on top of her silky pink strands, then buried his face into her messy bed-head. Gently, he rocked her in his arms, both of them quietly listening to the sound of their breathing and heartbeats.

“Are you sure there isn’t anything else I can do to help?” He asked her, though his words were muffled by her hair.

Haha! It’s okay! Allow me to put a smile on your face!

Who is a fussy eater and who will eat food even if they’ve dropped it on the floor?

Drake is fussy. He always complaining about how much salad and veggies Kole makes him eat. Kole will try anything.

Who constantly tries to get the other to shower with them?

Kole. Drake doesn’t mind most of the time, but if he’s coming home from a long days work, he would prefer a relaxing hot shower. He doesn’t get a lot of those though. Kole is always sneaking in.

Who was popular in high school and who lies that they were just to impress the other?

Kole super popular, doesn’t know it. Drake lies to impress. He’s really just the guy in the background.

Who is incredible in bed and completely knocks the other off their feet the first time they have sex?

Kole. Drake has know idea what he got himself into.

Drake plays, though Kole joins sometimes.

Kole. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Who is sleepy and cuddly ALL OF THE TIME?

Drake, of course.

Who knocks on the other’s door crying at 4am?

Kole.

Who would have 10 pets if they could and who is adorably shy around animals?

Kole wants to adopt anything that breaths. Drake thinks he is the only pet they need.

Who takes like 10 minutes of persuading to get out of bed each morning?

Drake, he hates mornings.

Who collects rocks and shells when they go to the beach and who thinks it’s dumb?

Kole collects, Drake thinks it’s silly, but helps her find really neat ones anyway.

Who picks fights for no reason just so they can have kinky sex?

Kole. Again, Drake is in for a big surprise when they hook up.

Who secretly admires the hell out of the other and thinks they’re the bravest person they’ve ever met?

Drake could spend the rest of his life just admiring her.

Who has an adorable sneeze and who sneezes so aggressively they pull a muscle?

Everything Kole does is adorable. Drake starts a fire every time he sneezes. He’s a handful when he comes down with a cold.

Who wants to have sex at work/school and who is terrified of getting caught?

Kole is both lol.

Who smells the hell out of the other’s shirts when they’re away but pretends that they don’t?

Kole

Who believes in astrology and who doesn’t care and just wants the other to make out with them?

They both believe it, but they both rather be making out.

Who would survive the apocalypse and who wouldn’t stand a chance?

I think they’d both do pretty good. Drake would handle it like a pro, but Kole can still hold her own.

Who is majorly ticklish and who is the tickle-attacker?

Both and both.

Who greatly exaggerates being sick every time they feel even a little poorly just so the other will take care of them?

Again, Drake is a handful when he’s sick. Kole try’s to pretend she’s not sick, until she passes out and Drake has to force her to stay in bed.

DRAKOLE (Drake and Kole) submitted by @bearhow2. Prompt by @downwithwritersblock. Character Drake Daniels owned by bearhow. 

The city was in shambles. Buildings were collapsing all around them. Dust and smoke polluted the air, making their lungs burn with each breath. Well, all but one. 

A beastly dragon with obsidian scales as tough as diamonds and claws as long as a modern car tore through his enemies like they were rag dolls. His bright green eyes and his magically blue orb that hung around his neck stuck out like sore thumbs against his black and night skin. He flew around the city, jumping from building to building, sending piles of rubble falling towards the ground.

Using his superior senses, he located a group of fire demons that were currently surrounding a large, ape-ish man holding a long, sharp crystal. The ape-man swung the crystal around, stabbing a couple of demons that came too close. However, the dragon noticed more and more demons coming toward them, trapping them in a circle that the demons had created. There was no way the ape-man would make it passed all of them. That wasn't the dragons only concern, though. What really made him heated (pun very much intended) was the danger that crystal was in. 

With a loud roar, the mystical creature flung himself towards the danger. The demons jumped on him, but his scales were unaffected by their burning heat. He used his long tail as a whip and battered the demons one-by-one. In places where he could, he blew out streams of dragon fire, which was the only fire that could turn the demons into dust. It took a few minutes, but eventually he was able to either kill or scare all the nearby demons away.

"Drake!" 

The dragon turned at the sound of his name, and look down to see a young women with pink hair running towards him. The women wrapped her arms around his chest (or tried to anyway), and rubbed her face against his armored plates. The dragon leaned his large head down and wrapped his neck securely around the women's small frame. A gentle purr vibrated through his chest. 

The women released him from her embrace and stepped back enough to allow his head to fall in front of her. She laid her hands on either side of his face and carefully pressed their foreheads together. 

"Thank you." She whispered in a horse voice, still out of breath from the battle.

"Of course, my love. Anything for you." He voice was as quite as he could make it, but his large body made it difficult to whisper. 

They stayed like that for a few heartbeats, trying to make the most of the moment they had together. The ape-man stood of to the side, watching them fondly. The dragon was the first to pull away. His head stood up high on his neck as he looked to the ape-man with a serious look in his eyes. 

"Protect her, Gnarrk." Drake commanded. 

"Gnarrk." The ape-man nodded his head, not needing to be told twice. 

Drake turned and prepared himself to take off to the sky, when he was stopped by a call from his mate. He looked back over his shoulder, a worry showing in his eyes. 

"Yes, Kole?" He questioned. 

“Will you-” She began, but the dragon quickly cut her off.

”No. Nope. Nuhuh. We are not doing this right now.” Drake shook his giant head in defiance. Kole looked shock to say the least. 

”Why not?” She huffed and folded in arms in annoyance. 

”We are in the middle of battle!” He exclaimed, his loud voice shaking the buildings around them. 

”So?” She asked simply, giving him a pointed look. "So! So come out of this alive and we continue this conversation! In the mean time, put a pin in it!" He roared, then lounged up into the air, his wings stirring up the dust left by the destroyed demons, causing Kole and Gnarrk to cough. 

"Get...back here, you...over-sized lizard! I asked you a...question!" Kole cried after him in between coughs. Needless to say, she was not going to "put a pin in it." 

21. Post the last sentence you wrote in one of your WIP’s.
