"Oh man." Hikaru knows Kaoru can't say no to that look. He tries to squint away from it, but to no avail. The wide-eyed look is just way too big and appealing.

So he steps closer to the dragon, eyeing him carefully before sticking out a hand. That's how you approach a dog, right? And they can't be that different. "Hey... Dragon. Nice to meet you."

Damnit, there's just something endearing about that gummy smile. He touches the dragon's snout for a couple seconds before slumping. "I'm going to get killed by the Shadow King because of you. We're both going to get killed. I hope you're happy."
