Sorry, mister Seto Kaiba. The little Dragon in front of Sunny is a solid 300% higher than the blue eyed teen in Sunny's personal scale of 'I like' and he has known 'them' for less than a minute now.
When things will go back to normal they'll both have to sign their own NDA about Sunny blushing and acting all cute around what is Seto deep down but also... for the moment the one eyed teen just doesn't know better. This has to be Seto's new companion and a reward for a -ugh- job well done.
He doesn't push his luck when the litle guy pushes against his hand, no mater if his cheeks turn bright pink and his lips dangerously curl up on one side making it almost a smile. But speaking of memories they'll want to absolutely obliterate from orbit...
"I love you."
Direct. Clear. Well, maybe not THAT clear but it's still short enough Sunny can say it decently enough and the intensity of the sentiment is there. He misses Mewo He will not acknowledge with himself what happened to that cat, Sunny repressed that memory even harder than he pushed away what happened to his own sister and this is the first 'pet' who allows him close enough. There were a few, but those were peole, they avoided him even like that, but this is... Seto's dragon.
They probably have a name, Sunny makes a mental note of 1) not showing too much how much he likes the pup 2) asking Kaiba once he's back from whatever madness he's being involved with at the moment.
And while he's not necessarily murdered by cute (not on the spot), he's certainly affected by its power. The stomach growl? It gets Sunny to bring both hands to his cheeks for a moment, he feels so... blessed? What a shame he has no real food...
"... kay."
He has a pathetic food bar, a nibble has been taken as well, but he's eagerly passing it to the dragon already. Here, little guy...
Perhaps later, sometime, Kaiba will detest himself and Sunny, but mostly the scientists for what they have done. He might actually rebel more knowing what they did.
But for nwo he is a dragon with no prior memory of Seto Kaiba's existence, and when he's treated so well, it gets him to make more happy trills and bunt Sunny's hand affectionately. He also loves you, maybe. It depends very highly on whether you have--
oh my dragon god.
oH. OH?!?! YOU HAVE PROVIDED THE DRAGON WITH SHITTY FOOD.
His tail swipes bakc and forth in excitement, before pouncing on the food bar and not really caring that it sticks a little to his claws as he holds it in place and takes a very large bite.
YES.
ABUNDANCE!
SUNNY YOSHIDA YOU ARE LOVED WHOLEHEARTEDLY BY A CREATURE.
Hilariously, the bar is meant to satiate a humanoid-sized creature as a full meal so the dragon only manages two bites before he's satisfied. And even that was more than he needed. Look at this gluttonous dragon, licking his claws as if he's never eaten anything in his life at all, and has been provided with the greatest gift which has ever been created.
The look Sunny gives the dragon... oh, he will be the first one absolutely detesting the scientists and himself for all of this, but he does look at the little creature like it's the single most beautiful thing in the whole world He loved a plant like it was the best pet, at least in that place, having a whole baby dragon moving around is a literal dream come true.
The dragon is purring for fuck's sake.
Sunny has butterflies in hs stomach and while part of his brain is thinking of Mewo- for the moment he can push negative feelings to the side as he looks at the little boy purr. Girl? Boy? He can't really videogame his way into a 'are you a boy or a girl' question with a big lizard so for now he'll default to... to girl? Yes, it feels right, after all he can joke with Lettucehead and just call the dragon 'his girlfriend' and until further clarification...
"Whos... good?"
Who is a good girl? WHO? He won't touch the half eaten bar, not now at least, but he does crawl on all four to get as close as he will be allowed to.
The dragon seems pleased enough to be picking bits of bar from between its toes, and has an odd aloofness about it despite very clearly having put Sunny on the highest pedestal. This is bliss. This is affection.
But it's not until Sunny compliments him that the creature again turns its attention to him, doe-like blue eyes fixating for a moment, before it tilts its head and lets out a chirp.
Who's good? He's good, clearly! And so is Sunny, as evidenced by the dragon getting back on all fours and padding closer to bunt his chin. He has absolutely no shame. He is a dragon, and why would a dragon have any shame t all? They're proud creatures, and it follows with this one that it would enjoy being complimented.
It flutters its wings, and the scutes that make up its body seem to shift and embiggen somehow. Pleased. PLEASED!
Enough that it does eventually decide to do three circles, then curl up in front of Sunny like a proper little loaf. An inquisitive chirp almost seems to inquire: Pets?
He isn't even sure this isn't one massive dream or hallucination, this is the kind of things that usually only happen when he's OMORI and he's the coolest kid in the entirety of Headspace, not when he's Sunny- still, if it is one? It's not as scary as what he saw right before falling into water, if anything this is comfort and joy in every possible way.
He should probably study this creature if it's real and even if it's just some level of advanced vision he should take advantage of this 'exposure' so he can maek better origamis for Seto, right? RIGHT? It's not like he's completely charmed already-
"Mhm!"
YES, SHE IS A GOOD GIRL! Sunny's heart races at the little head bunt- more compliments? He nods. He can TRY. He WILL try.
"Pretty." Girls like being called that, right? And Dragon is dead drop gorgeous. But girls aren't just that, they also like- "cool." being complimented like that, right? And that should work with a boy as well. "Best!"
A wise nod following the last word before he tops and looks at the little loaf. Is this... a greater calling? Is it his time to shine? Like in 'How to Treat your Dragon', HTTYD in short, Sunny brings one hand forward. He doesn't know what kind of pets is deemed acceptable by such a divine creature, so miss(ter?) loaf should at least enlighten him, right?
"Yes..."
Pets. All of them as long as he's allowed to keep her(him?) around. This truly is what love feels like, isn't it?
This dragon...has only recently begun to make memories. He has accidentally barged into people's rooms by virtue of Kaiba being his original identity, and therefore, having all the entrance rights of an Enforcer, as well as being able to use the elevator, albeit with some troubles.
Of all the people he's met, Sunny is the one he thinks that he might like the most. So he is the one who is allowed to touch. The dragon flops onto his side, revealing his plump little belly. The scutes aren't soft, but even so, Sunny's pets are met with pleased purrs and happy tail swishes. They're still full of sensation, and the dragon is full of affection, enough so that if allowed he'll eventually scoot closer to steal some body heat from his new acquaintance.
Sunny cannot even remember the last time he had been glad to be alive and this may be a tiny fleeting moment, but it's something he will forever treasure. Touching the little scales on the dragon's belly? Divine. Being a little space heater for The Creature? A blessed thing. It truly is love.
With pink cheeks and a still vaguely shocked expression, Sunny actually manages to chirp in the dragon's direction while trying to make him a F R I E N D.
It'll only be worse once Seto is back to himself and will remember Sunny scatching his stomach and make baby sounds in his direction, but fortuantely enough Sunny doesn't have to worry about it. Yet.
The noises are met with more headtilts and confusion, before the dragon chirps back himself. Are they communicating?! Who even knows! The dragon sems to think so, if he's answering back, or maybe he's simply flattered that Sunny is trying to speak to him in the way he was spoken to.
"Rrrraaawwrrrgh."
For a few more moments, the dragon allows himself to be pet, but then eventually, he pads over to the half-chewed tray he'd come in with and begins to bite and tear at it, shredding it into smaller bits. This is his room, he's fully decided this based on all the evidence, and so he's going to make a proper nest!
