Note: Special thanks to Wholesome Girlfriend ASMR, whose delightfully offbeat dragon girlfriend series created the spark of inspiration from which this more impassioned series grew.
This is Part Three of the You Are My Treasure series.
If you perform one of my scripts, please let me know so I can add the video to my channel!
[sigh]
I’ll never get over how beautiful the crystals in this cavern are.
Sparkling in the firelight.
[romantic] They’re extra beautiful when you’re here with me.
Every time!
I don’t know how you do it.
I think your beauty just . . . shines on them, and they reflect it.
[pause]
Oh, you charmer!
You always do know exactly what to say to me.
[romantic] Is there any dragon wine left?
[pause]
Here. Go ahead.
[pause]
May I?
[pause]
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
[pause]
I’ll never forget the look on your face.
When you opened that box . . . and saw this chalice.
[pause]
I hope you’re that stunned . . . when you find out what I have for you this time.
[teasing] I went all out again.
For our first anniversary.
[pause]
No, no. Not yet.
Patience, my love.
My treasure.
My precious one.
My prize.
I need to take my time.
[vulnerable] Can I . . . hoard you?
Just for a while?
[pause]
Yeah, yeah . . . you don’t fool me, mister.
Don’t pretend you don’t love it.
When I wrap my arms around you.
Like this.
And hoard you.
Protect you.
Take care of you.
[pause]
[whispering] Mine.
[whispering] All mine.
[pause]
I don’t get you all to myself very much these days.
Now that we have little Kiah [“KAI-yah”] to love as well.
I’m so grateful my mom could take her.
So we could have this time.
Especially here.
In my birth cave.
I get so worried when Kiah runs around . . . down in the tunnels below.
I can’t believe how fast she’s grown!
She always wants to go down as deep as she can.
And I’m so proud of her.
But . . . it also freaks me out!
I want her to be strong and independent.
But I also want her to be safe!
I guess that’s what being a mom is all about.
[pause]
Yeah.
[pause]
I never realized . . . how much I had to thank my mom for.
And my dad, too.
And you!
You are such a great dad to Kiah.
[pause]
No, you really are.
I was already so completely in love with you.
But now I see a whole other side of you.
How wise and compassionate you are.
And how strong.
I’m so proud of you.
[romantic] And unlike Kiah . . . you let me keep you safe.
Hold on to you.
Protect you.
Hoard you.
My beautiful, marvelous Apollo.
My magnificent treasure.
Not my only treasure any more.
I have Kiah to love now, too.
She lives in my heart.
Right along with you.
But you’re still my special treasure.
The treasure I daydream about.
The treasure I can gaze at for hours.
The treasure I wrap my arms around.
And hoard.
Just like this.
[pause]
Remember when I first brought you here?
[playful] To tell you my dark, terrible secret?
I was so nervous!
It seems so strange, now.
How could I have been scared?
To tell you about my true self?
To let you in?
How could I have felt anything but joy?
[pause]
I suppose.
[pause]
Yeah. Yeah.
[pause]
Thank you.
[pause]
That’s right.
And then I hoarded you.
For the very first time.
Right here.
Just like this.
And you know what?
I’ll tell you another secret.
[whispering] This is still my favorite place to hoard you.
[big, joyous laughter]
It is!
[pause]
Nope. Nope.
Not the big bed.
In my lair.
Right here.
I mean . . . don’t get me wrong.
[sensual] The big bed is great.
I don’t mind being with you there.
Not.
At.
All!
[romantic laughter]
But . . . when it’s time to hoard you?
Keep you safe?
Just lay here . . . and take good care of my precious treasure?
Right here.
This is where I want to be.
[pause]
Gaze at you?
Hmmmmmm.
Well, you know I love to gaze at you any time.
But I think I’d have to go with the big bed.
As my favorite place to do it.
I know it’s more comfortable for you.
And . . .
While you do make the crystals here even more beautiful . . .
[sensual] I think you adorn my bed even more.
[romantic laughter]
Yes, my treasure.
I mean . . . the bed is solid gold.
My greatest creation!
My masterpiece!
I couldn’t bear to choose.
Between spending the night on my gold.
And spending the night in a bed with you.
But that old pile of gold coins?
It just wasn’t big enough.
Not to make a bed that would be . . . worthy of my special treasure.
And I needed jewels and adornments to work with.
To make my bed a masterpiece.
Worthy of you.
I don’t miss that old statue one bit.
My bed is so much more beautiful than she ever was.
I still get to spend the night on my gold.
The same gold I’ve been resting on since I came of age.
And got my first hoard.
And best of all?
I can put you in that bed.
[pause]
Yes, and I’m so excited!
Another three-day gazing session.
[romantic] Just like our honeymoon.
What a wonderful time that was.
You planned everything just right.
For us.
But the three straight days of just gazing at you?
That was the best.
And I can’t wait to do it again.
Not to mention!
I can’t wait to give you the anniversary surprise that I have for you.
I think mine is just as good!
[pause]
No, not yet!
[giggles]
I need more hoarding time first!
[brief, joyous laughter]
[pause]
[sigh]
I’m so grateful mom took Kiah.
She’s changed my life.
[pause]
Well, I guess both of them!
But I meant Kiah.
She’s changed me . . . almost as much as you have.
Like you, she’s . . . helped me to understand.
What it means to be human.
And . . . in a way . . . what it means to be a dragon, too.
To know how to love.
[pause]
My beautiful treasure!
I’m so glad you helped me to see.
Helped me see why we had to adopt her.
I was . . .
I was so wrong.
[pause]
No, no, my treasure.
I really was awful.
When Kiah’s father died . . . she had nowhere to go.
No one to take care of her.
No one else would have taken her in.
You know it.
Because of . . . who she is.
And who her father was.
It had to be us.
She would have been all alone.
Alone in the world.
No one should be left alone.
With no one to love them.
I look back and . . .
I’m ashamed.
Ashamed of how I felt.
Ashamed of the terrible things I said.
[pause]
It was so selfish.
I just wanted to hoard you and be happy.
[pause]
Thank you for saying so.
But we both know how hard you had to work.
To get me to be reasonable.
You showed me.
And then Kiah showed me.
Why we need to be loved.
Why we need to love.
[pause]
I know I have you to thank for it.
[playful] That’s why I’m so happy I have this amazing surprise for you!
[joyous laughter]
Let me just hoard you a little longer.
[pause]
I will always protect you.
I will always take care of you.
My treasure.
I love you so, so much.
And now, thanks to you . . . I love Kiah, too.
And I have more and more love to give.
I’m starting to love my mom better.
I’m even starting to love my grandfather better.
[sad] Even if he doesn’t accept it.
Yet.
[pause]
Yeah, it hurts.
But he’ll come around.
Until then . . .
I can’t control how he feels.
Or acts.
If he chooses to reject our decision . . .
To reject our family . . .
That’s not something I can control.
It does hurt.
I don’t want to be indifferent.
To shut him out of my heart.
I’d rather feel the pain . . . and keep loving him.
I can love him even if he doesn’t accept what we’ve done.
Just like you did . . . with me.
[pause]
You went on loving me.
In the hospital.
When I wouldn’t accept your feelings.
When I tried not to let you show me.
[pause]
You went on loving me.
And I came around.
He may take more time!
A lot more time.
But he’ll come around, too.
[pause]
And I have even more love to give.
Your love . . . has made me want to love more and more.
That’s how beautiful you are.
That’s how much your beauty has captivated me.
Your love is so beautiful.
Too beautiful for just two people.
It makes me want to love everyone I have.
And it makes me want to find new people to love.
Or . . . maybe . . . make new people to love.
[pause]
[all the joy] That’s right!
I’m nesting!
We’re going to have another little person to love!
A little boy, in fact.
[pause]
No, no need for a test.
I’m dragonblooded.
I can tell.
[pause]
Another little person to go running in the lower tunnels!
And give her poor mother a heart attack!
[laughter]
But however difficult his mother may be . . .
At least he’ll have a beautiful, beautiful father.
[pause]
No, not a word of that.
You forget, I’ve seen you in action.
With our little Kiah.
You’re tough when you need to be.
But you’re always loving and affectionate.
Even when you’re being tough.
And Kiah knows that she’s loved.
She knows she can count on that.
Through anything.
No matter what.
You’re her rock.
You’re her light.
And you’re going to be that for our son, too.
Just like you are for our daughter.
[pause]
[thoughtful] Our daughter.
[pause]
It’s just . . .
It’s so . . . I don’t know.
Such a great thing to think about.
She’s our daughter.
She’s gnomeblooded. [“NOHM-blooded”]
And she’s our daughter.
Even if my grandfather can’t accept it.
[pause]
Yet.
[pause]
He will.
I really believe it.
Even though he’s a dragon.
[pause]
I don’t know.
Somehow . . .
I believe in him.
I think there’s . . . something in him.
Something in him that sees.
That sees the beauty of the human heart.
Of love.
[pause]
After all, you showed me.
There was a time when I didn’t see.
[romantic] I was blinded by your incredible beauty!
[laughter]
And I made you my treasure.
Just hoping to hold on to your beauty.
But you showed me so much more.
And thanks to you . . . you’re not my only treasure any more.
But don’t you worry.
You will always be my first treasure.
My gorgeous Apollo.
My magnificent prize.
The treasure I daydream about.
The treasure I hoard.
The treasure I gaze at for days on end.
And . . .
[vulnerable] And the treasure who showed me how to love.
The treasure that led me to . . . all the other treasures I have in my life now.
You.
All because of you.
[pause]
You are my treasure of treasures.
