Sing

what if he's not a Bumble, nor raised in the hive
but is just a regular dragon
an herbalist
who goes out picking flowers
and meets Apoidea
and he falls head over heels for her
and he decides to learn her customs to court her
so he gets a fluffy coat like a bee
and glues on antennae
and brings all his flowers to the hive to teach the Bumbles about different types of pollen
and map out wildflowers in the surrounding areas
so they have an easier time figuring out where to go
and he learns the language of the bees
and they make mead with him
and do herbal infusions in honey
and Apoidea sees this dragon becoming part of the hive for her
and she falls in love with him
and they do a cute little bee mating dance
and they share a chamber in the hive
and they fall asleep doing a fuzzy bee snuggle
bees





but
WAIT
there's another bee??
a cute lil warrior Bumble
that Sing has seen around the hive a lot
Apoidea told him his name was Api
And Api likes to hum at Sing while he works
and sniff all of the flowers he has
and sometimes he pets his antlers, and then rubs his antennae against Sing's paws
Sing is learning to hum and buzz the Bumble language, and Api is very patient with him
but then one day
Apoidea comes back from the Trading Post with a surprise
And to Sing's shock
Api
becomes
a
TUNDRA
he can't even begin to imagine the agony of changing his form
but the former Bumble looks at him with draconic eyes
and shyly smiles
and pets Sing's antlers
and Sing raises his hand and stroke's Api's new mane
and in a voice somewhere between a hum and speech
Api says what Sing's heart has known all along
"I love you"
"And if you will give me your heart, my King...I will protect it with my life"
brb bAWLING



okay but imagine Sing curled up with his mates in a giant flower
and just
snuggling
holding feet
while they sleep
