#decisions decisions...

Durin becomes a bit shier for a while before recovering from the shock. You can take that opportunity to tease the hell out of him (LMAO)

He is low-key so awkward when you try to teach him how human relationships work. Pls just let him go back to the dragon/giant lizard courting ways, he was doing so much better </333

Durin is a dragon from a fairytail, so of course, he will share some traits with them!

One particular habit of his that sticks out the most is the way he would trap you (and the story books) together under a blanket when you visit to read together. It's like his own little treasure hoard.

He also insists you stay there while he brings lunch to his room. I'm sorry you're not getting out until you spend the mandatory three hours in cuddle jail with Durin.

Even though dragons are usually pretty possessive over their stuff, Durin happens to be a bit on the tame side in that regard, so he isn't as overprotective of you.

That being said, I think if you wear something he gave you or something his, he gets weird about it.

And I mean weird weird, like you unlocked a part of his brain that he didn't know it existed.

It's kind of like when you scroll tumblr and read two lines about a not so "socially acceptable" kink and you learn something new about yourself (💀)

Kissing is so messy with him. No matter how many times you do it, there's always so much saliva and too much tongue along with the occasional headache inducing forehead bumping.

It's not even messy in a sexy way. Just kind of disgusting (LMFAO)

Durin prefers doing his own little dragon kisses instead! Which basically consists of him gently bumping his nose on various parts of your body <3 most of the time, it's either your face or neck.

He does get a little bold sometimes, but immediately gets adorably flustered and starts apologizing after.

Adores it when you scratch his wings!!! They aren't particularly sensitive like, let's say, Venti's or Xiao's. Mostly because theirs are very similar to the anatomy of a bird's wings and his are not, so you don't have to worry about accidentally getting him in a, uh, mood when you play around with them!

I do think that, however, when the tension is high and he's a bit too hot, they do become quiet the sweet spot for him<3

They get so twitchy anf fluttery too... Ughhh

Grab his tail too while you're at it, and tug on it slightly for more effectiveness.

It takes time and a lot of experimenting to find the right spots to scratch and the exact force you need to use, but the high-pitched whimpers he lets out after are so worth it <33

Especially since he is —surprisingly— more on the growly side (I mean have you HEARD his battle voicelines?)

Eager to please, so Durin insists on taking the lead whenever he can!

He always ends up getting too nervous to continue, and you have to take over for him.

It's okay, though! You think it's adorable, and you make sure to let him know that by kissing the shiny, pretty scales scattered all over his body<3

Also, no, he does not have weird anatomy down there. I have enough faith in Albedo to believe he won't do that to my boy.

LOVES loves wrapping his tail around you whenever possible.

If you happen to be a tailed creature too, he will start wrapping his tail around your own when you walk side by side, like your own special way of hand holding<33

If you don't have a tail then it's okay!! He can always wrap it around your leg instead ^^

I said this before, and I will say it again; He Can Purr.

When he learns that you like it, he starts doing it on purpose whenever he lays on top of you.

He also uses it as a pain reducing massage during your monthly cycles! (If you have a uterus, that is)

He likes curling around your tummy like an oversized cat and letting out that engine loud purrs of his.

"Does it still hurt? 🥺" No, baby, it doesn't.

edit: oh goodness, was this too ugly? was this too much?... too bad, i kinda want to make more

edit 2: it seems that this has a next partt now (part 2)
