            “…”

            Lance slowly slid his mask back on. “You’re not screaming.”

            “I think I’m still in shock.” Red said honestly. “How did it happen?”

            “Acid attack from a defeated challenger’s Ekans.” The Dragon Master smirked. “You think I wear this just to look cool?”

            “Well no, I didn’t think that was the reason…” Red paused. “How horrible of them!”

            “Still, lamenting over the past won’t change anything, and I’ve gotten used to it.” He tied the strings that passed almost invisibly over his long hair. “Any other questions you have, Champion?”

            “Can I hug you?” Red blurted out.

            Lance blinked. “ Well, sure…”

            “Because I think you really need a hug.” Red finished, before he glomped Lance. Lance accepted it a bit awkwardly, but did not fight it.

            Red was… warm.

            “I don’t care if you’re ugly.” Red murmured, so softly that Lance almost didn’t hear it. “You’re still my hero.”

            A slow smile curved the Dragon Master’s lips, and he nodded.

Vague POTO undertones, yay! And fluff!

I note that I don’t mention how bad it is. You can horrify yourselves with thoughts of how ugly Lance is if you wish…
