Short, cute and fluffy for three reasons.

REASON ONE! I'm sorry for making y'all cry I swear! I like Candy more than I like dentists; Fuck the dentists .

REASON TWO; It's actually like 11pm rn and I can't fall asleep so I default to writing as my stress de-accelerator

REASON THREE; Men with Ponytails just became indescribably appealing to me. Y'all know how much I love women (Even tho I'm BI lmao) But I wouldn't definitely date a guy with a ponytail. Ten out of ten.

ALSO THIS IS UNEDITED IM SORRY IF IT SUCKS LMAOOOII K BYE

David was in his greenhouse, tending to his flowers just like how he always did. He was repotting a couple of magic Venus fly traps that could easily take a person's hand off if they tried. Fortunately for David, he had a green thumb, and most plants seemed to like him (Not as much as they liked his boyfriend, though) which was highly beneficial for his spot at taking care of the garden.

Anyways, David was sitting there, minding his own business, when he heard the door to the greenhouse creek and footsteps stopping as a person paused in his forearms Although the person's breath was heavy, they didn't call out to David, probably knowing that he didn't like being interrupted during important projects like these. The person just stood by the door and waited while David finished up his work. David could hear a creek when the person leaned against his wall.

He payed no mind to them until the last Venus Fly Trap was in it's pot about a minute and a half later. He sighed, pushing back a stand of his hair, and looked up. The Devil Slayer quite literally almost choked at what he saw.

There, leaning against the wall of the greenhouse, was David Ramos's crush, Mario, in all of his heavenly glory. His emerald green eyes sparkled as they met David's, and the Dragon Slayer wiped sweat of his brow, his skin flushed and glistening in the hottest way possible. David blushed. Curse the gods. He was infatuated with this Man.

"Hey," Mario said in his sweet, melodic voice, and David thought that he was going to simply pass away from how amazing he was, "I was wondering if you wanted to hang out. It can't be good out here for you in this heat." He said, referring to the hot autumn temperatures of the island.

Recently, the small island of Divinus had been going through a temporary increase in temperature, heat reaching 95 to 100 degrees. Today was one of the hotter days, the heat somehow getting up to 102. In this time, Mario's hair had been growing out as well, his raven locks now much longer than they were before. As a result, his hair was pulled back into an incredibly hot looking ponytail, bangs still brushing and clingy sweatily to his face as he stepped further into to cool greenhouse. David felt like he was going to pass out from the heat Mario caused alone.

David noticed that he looked slightly uncomfortable in the heat, even if it was only about 80 in the greenhouse. Mario didn't like the heat, either, David had learned, which he thought was weird because he hated the cold also. Mario could handle up to about 90, and that was it. Otherwise, trying to get him to do anything was a death warrant.

Even so, Mario looked incredibly hot, with the sweat, pretty eyes and his ponytail (Especially the Ponytail) and David couldn't say no to the Dragon Slayer, even if he had wanted to.

"Sure, we can hang out," David said with a grin. "As long as we're inside."

Mario shuddered, shiver raking his entire posture and making David wonder how he could so easily grab David's own hand and punch him in the face (yes, it's happened) if his spine was that shiver-able.

"Wasn't planning to not go inside, Snowflake. Have you felt the temperature?" Mario complained playfully, the dragon slayer moving closer to the Venus flytraps. David watched as Mario scratched the leaf blade of the flytrap. The blades slowly opened wider and then closed again, making Mario probably subconsciously smile. David had never known the full story about the why his boyfriend like Venus Flytraps so much, but that was for another time.

The two boys walked back to Mario's house (Since David's didn't have a door and it was like 100 degrees) as they bickered lovingly, Mario retorting back to David's teasing with a smile on his face and David laughing every time with a bright red blush. It was from the heat. Not from the fact that he had a massive, giant crush on the boy next to him. Nope, not at all.

Once they got back inside, David washed the dirt from his hands while Mario sat on the couch and looked through movies. Mario turned as David sat on the couch, cuddling up next to him. Mario, being a loving boyfriend, wrinkled his nose in disgust, pushing him away.

"Nuh uh, you are not sitting on my couch or near me until you change out of your dirty clothes," Mario insisted. Before David could say anything else, the Dragon Slayer added. "Or I swear to god I will behead you."

That shut him up. Mario was not empty with his threats. And while David was about 80 percent sure Mario wouldn't kill him, he did not want to be defenestrated or possibly disemboweled in this heat.

"Mhm, Will do, Señor!" David said quickly, immediately getting up from the couch and walking towards Mario's hallway closet which he knew was entirely filled with his, Lucas, and Kit's clothing they had left at his house over the years. David pulled his spare old spare button up shirt (which he never buttoned up) from the drawer and a pair of un-dirty, black pants, quickly changing in the bathroom before running out of the hall and taking a running start to the couch, the Devil Slayer effectively landing with a plop next to his crush.

Mario laughed. "I swear, you're trying to kill me or something," The Dragon Slayer said, and oh no, David was screwed. The beauty of his laugh and the added quality of his ponytail was permanently embedded in David's mind now. He would never be able to get this out of his head, like, ever. He was doomed to only think about Mario for the rest of his life. It wasn't the worst fate possible, but certainly not ideal when you were thrown into life and death situations on a regular basis.

David just stared, blankly nodding in agreement as he stared at the other boy, entranced. Mario grinned.

"So your trying to kill me?" Mario asked once more, and David nodded without even trying to process the words. As Mario continued to stare at him with a grin, David's mind backpedaled, and the boy gasped, fumbling over his words.

"Wait! No that's— Mari— That's not what I meant!!!" David poured while Mario snickered.

"It's fine, it's alright, David. I understand, you don't love me, that's absolutely fine. Great, fine." Mario said, wiping a fake tear and crying into his hands with a grin that didn't match his false sobbing.

David pouted, wrapping both of his arms around his boyfriend and snuggling his face into his neck, pressing fleeting kisses to the back of his jawline. Mario immediately stopped, seemingly frozen as David continued with a smirk. David could tell his cheeks were flushing even from behind.

"Awweeee, Mari's a little flustered?" David teased, resting his chin on Mario's collarbone.

"S-shut up!" He snapped, causing David to laugh while Mario continued blushing a bright red.

"Okay, whatever you say, Pebbles." David said with a wide grin. "You should play the movie now, right?"

Mario rolled his eyes. "Fuck off," He said, turning to kiss his boyfriend lovingly as the two  boys sat on the couch. David ran his hand through Mario's ponytail, grinning as he played with his boyfriends long hair. It wasn't David's fault that Mario just looked so... attractive, especially with a ponytail. He decided to blame Inmo. Yeahhh, that made sense. (Poor Inmo)

Mario pressed play while David continued to run his hands through his hair. The two boys spent the entire afternoon watching movie after movie, snuggling up to each other and laughing at the stupidity characters as Mario continuously altered between threatening to throw David out the window and making out with him (David preferred the latter).

Mario's legs laid over the couch and David had his head pressed in his shoulder, smiling. 'Mario is just so... cozy,' David thought as he looked at his boyfriend, 'Like, his body was made entirely to cuddle, or something." And while Mario wasn't too big on the whole physical contact thing, (Neither of them were, for Mario it was just more of a problem) this was certainly nice.

"What was that?" Mario asked, questioningly.

"Huh?" David snapped out of his thoughts, face flushed red. Mario grinned.

"You were mumbling something along the lines of me being cozy and you liking cuddling," The Dragon Slayer said slowly, a cheekily grin coming to his face and his ponytail bobbing while he contained his giggles as David blushed harder than a tomato.

"Shit." Was the only thing the Devil Slayer had uttered, burying his face in his hands in embarrassment while Mario laughed. His boyfriend swung his arms around David's neck, kissing around his collarbone and only making David more flustered.

"Awe, come on, Snowflake!" Mario paused as he momentarily bit down on David's neck, making the taller boy shiver, "What, are you embarrassed?"

David muttered a faint 'yes', making Mario grin as he ticked himself under his boyfriends arm, shutting his eyes and smiling contently. David smiled back, although he was fully aware that Mario could not see him. David blushed as he saw the other boys ponytail poking out from behind his head. This, this human being, was the person that David wanted to spend to rest of his life with. Period.

At some point, David must have fallen asleep. His dreams were filled with Mario and his pretty ponytail and bright emerald eyes, which was something he would never admit, but was nice, none the less. When he woke up the next day, he found himself in his boyfriend's bed, yet his boyfriend was nowhere to be seen. How did he get here? David honestly had no idea, but he wasn't complaining. The room smelled of the Dragon Slayer, and the fact that Mario had enough trust in him to leave him to sleep in his room unattended? He was flustered before he even saw his boyfriend, that day.

David found a note on the nightstand, immediately recognizing Mario's handwriting and eagerly drinking from a glass of ice water he assumed Mario left for him on a dragon coaster.

Babe. Don't ruin my stuff plz

Also I know you like my Ponytail. You were blushing the entire day. For the record, I think your hot too lol. Love u

- Mari Beans

David promptly spat out his water at the word Babe. How was one human being this amazing? Seriously, David was such a simp for this incredible, sword wielding, trash talking, totally-can-rock-a-ponytail man.

And did he ruin Mario's stuff? Well, that was a story for another day.
