Adopt A Child, Gain A Lover

Summary

I went for a walk and ended up being stalked by a kid. He followed me for ten blocks, through every turn and alley, all the way to my front door.

I definitely didn’t expect the little guy to breathe fire.

While I was getting him water in the kitchen, he burned my entire front lawn. Panicked, he covered his mouth, then dug into his pocket, pulled out a glittering silver band, and shoved it onto my wrist.

"I’m a hatchling," he squeaked. "I can’t control my powers yet. I had a huge fight with my family. Can I stay here a few days? I’ll give you my big brother as payment for the grass."
