"You do know that's a vampire, right?"
I raised my eyebrow at Chang. "Yes. I am well aware of that fact, thanks so much. Now do you have those books or not?"
Chang snorted and turned his back on me, searching the shelves behind him. "Of course I do. You ordered them months ago. I nearly sent them back because you hadn't come in for them."
"I've been a little busy."
He looked at me over his shoulder. "Considering that you are now hanging out with a vampire, I think that might be an understatement."
I cast a glance back towards Heero who was lingering by the doorway, apparently examining the large bronze dragon Chang had by his front door.
Chang thumped the books down in front of me on the counter pulling my attention back to him. "Anything else for you today? A cross? Some garlic?"
"Those don't work," Heero said, his voice soft. It sounded as if he was smiling.
"I'm always willing to experiment," Chang muttered.
Suddenly Heero was beside me. "I'm sure you are, guardian, but Duo is safe with me."
"Interesting definition of safe." Chang replied, but his lips twitched. "Then again, considering what he is, perhaps I should be offering you some silver bullets? Or I think I have some wolfsbane in stock."
"Chang!" I protested and he shrugged.
"Have to make a living somehow."
Heero smiled and cast a glance back towards the bronze dragon. "I can imagine. Bet he takes a bit to feed."
I turned around and blinked at the thing. "That's alive?!"
"Not at the moment," Chang wrote up my receipt. "He's hibernating."
"It's summertime."
"Dragons hibernate for years at a time," Heero told me with a smile.
"They must be starving when they wake up." I eyed the statue.
"Oh yes," Chang sighed and shook his head. "It can get quite messy."
I looked at my watch. "Time to go." I picked up the books and headed carefully towards the door. "See you in a few months, Chang!"
He chuckled. "Try to stay out of trouble Duo! If you can-!"
Heero was laughing when we stepped outside. "He knows you too well."
"For a man that cohabitates with a dragon, he's got a lot of nerve telling me to stay out of trouble. How did you know that was a real dragon?"
"I've met a few," Heero cast a look up and down the dark street and then grabbed me by the waist.
"Hey! What are you-!" A moment later we were in the air, Heero's wings beating a steady rhythm.
"You said that if I ran one little errand with you, we could do what I wanted for the rest of the night."
"I did?"
He nodded.
"So where are we going?"
"Back to the hotel of course..."
