Hollow/FGO Chapter 15 (Patreon)

You know. Dragon girls truly were the best. I wasn't typically one to go for the whole dommy mommy vibe or whatever that Raikou would try to push on her master. But Tiamat didn't have a dominating presence surprisingly despite being basically the precursor to dragons themselves.

She most definitely had an... Inhuman form both physical with her horns and features. But she also had an inhuman mindset, as within her mind within half an hour of us relaxing, talking, getting to know one better. She had skipped the months if not weeks for humans to form a true connection to one another.

Or in her own words. "I like you now, why would I dislike you later when you have already shown your true self?" Hence I got to learn what a dragon nest was like. Tiamat gathered several sets of pillows and blankets making a literal pillow fort atop the bed with it being stupidly well-ventilated for some ungodly reason while remaining completely dark somehow. And within that pillow fort, that Tiamat vehemently argued was actually a dragon nest.

I got my snuggles.

There was nothing lewd in our snuggling within the total darkness of her 'dragon nest' that was totally a pillow fort. It was warm but not too much with the weird ventilation she had going on. That might possibly be magic honestly.

"So are we going to sleep the rest of the day away?" I asked already feeling lethargic from holding Tiamat in my arms with her laying on my chest due to her large horns. Even I felt how physically close we were being was... To fast one could say, but Tiamat was needy, and rather than her hanging on me or heaven forbids pouting I was willing to accept her affection.

But seemingly in answer, before Tiamat could actually respond, the door to my room hissed open and I blinked seeing Artoria looking into the room and nonplussed up a fist as though to knock on the door. "Is that door a motion sensor?" I grumbled under my breath with a scowl at the thought of my privacy being interrupted by anyone who walked by the door. Either way, Artoria when she my head pop out of the pillow fort/dragon nest. "A dragon nest?" Artoria asked with her face twitching in amusement and I felt Tiamat's arms around my chest tighten as she giggled at seeing the bottom half of my face flinch as though struck.

"No this is totally a pillow fort, see! It's got pillow towers holding up the blankets and everything!" I said pointing with a hand that I took from Tiamat's side unknowing of her heavy pout at me stopping the total body hug we were sharing previously.

Artoria took one look at the pillow fort and grimaced as she spoke. "Blake, if you were one of my knights and this was a fort you were in charge of defending I would question your sanity... This is clearly a dragon's nest with how the blankets were clearly stuck between pillows like how dragons would overlay previously molten stone to act as the mortar to the nests they would build out of stones and trees."

'Blind fools! How could they not see!' I mentally cried before I refocused on Artoria who coughed. "Anyway, Blake, I was wanting to get to know you better besides our initial meeting as we are to be our Master's sword in these trying times," Artoria said charismatically as she took my desk seat and sat it down with herself in it in front of my pillow fort... Fuck you it was a pillow fort, until there was a bed of golden coins I was going to call it a fort and not a dragons nest.

I nodded and then I felt Tiamat shift beside me and Artoria's eyes went wide as she saw the blue-haired beauty then pop her head out of the pillow fort beside mine and looked at the completely flummoxed King of Knights. "Ah... You are also dragon-blooded." Tiamat said softly before tilting her head to the side. "Would you like a hug and join the dragon nest?" She offered with her arms poking out beside her head and making grabby hands, oh so damned cutely at Artoria.

Artoria's lips twitched as she looked down at me with a raised eyebrow, clearly asking 'what the hell is going on?' So I bluntly replied. "Gudako literally summoned her, Tiamat the dragon goddess which almost killed her with the drain and strain she put on her body, so I had to take on the contract which is a bit tiring for myself so I am relaxing," I said making up an excuse with Artoria closing her eyes before placing a hand on her face.

"Why are you reminding me of Gawain so much..." Artoria muttered and I snorted at the thought. Either way Artoria coughed and brought down her hand that obscured her face as she continued from what she was offered previously as she met Tiamat's X-shaped eyes. "No thank you. I am not that used to such... An extreme form of affection as to lie together with other people atop a bed." She said wryly and I could see Tiamat frown at that.

'Is the mommy Tiamat going to adopt Artoria? That would be funny?' I thought with a mental chuckle before Artoria continued. "Anyway Blake, I was sent to tell you that Dr. Romani and Da-Vinci have locked onto the next Singularity and thus within the next couple days they will have more details before we can get a perfect lock onto it so we can be sent there." She finished and I nodded while thinking of the next Singularity.

Dear gods... I just realized I had the intention of also snagging Kiyohime, Jeanne, and her alter. That would literally be four dragon girls in Chaldea! I was screwed!

"Thank you for the heads up Artoria." I thanked her before cocking my head to the side as an evil smile came to my face as I spoke again. "Say. Why don't you sit there and watch a movie with us. There is this interesting movie about the Holy Grail I think you will just... Adore." I said with Artoria raising an eyebrow before shrugging as she had nothing better to do.
