New Year, New Love

[Drago Cesar]

At the Cesar Dojo, Dragana Cesar is seated at the couch across from the television, bundled up in a blanket right next to Bubba. The giant lion yawns and leans his head against his friend’s shoulder. A gentle knock can be heard at the front door; Dragana carefully unwraps the blanket around her and walks toward the door. She slowly opens the door and peeks her head out.

 

Dragana: Oh!

 

She opens the door to reveal the ever mysterious Clickbait, sliding into the Dojo with the grace of a swan. They strike a pose.

 

Clickbait: What’s going on, it’s yaboi!

 

Regina Tacet appears to be enamored with Clickbait’s theatrics.

 

Clickbait: Just wanted to stop by to see how ya doin’.

 

Bubba leaps from the couch and sniffs Clickbait to investigate them.

 

Clickbait: Holy shi- Uh, good boy?

 

The big cat uses his ol’ olfactory bulbs for a minute, circling around the influencer until he perks up. He turns to Dragana and flails his tiny paws around excitedly, as if to tell Dragana something important. The Silent Queen gets on a knee and nods to Bubba.

 

Dragana: Mmm.

 

The Pride Champion stands up and pulls her phone out from her pocket. Clickbait nervously looks around.

 

Speaker: You helped me at the Anniversary show after Junko attacked me. Why?

 

Clickbait: Well, you know, cause I, uh…

 

Dragana tilts her head, patiently awaiting an answer.

 

Clickbait: Because I, uh….care about you.

 

Dragana swoons, her face turning a shade of red. She pulls Click in and gives them a big hug, lifting them off the floor. She puts them down and types on her phone.

 

Speaker: Would you like to come with me to the theater tonight? There is a play I have been wanting to see for quite some time.

 

Clickbait: Yaboi is down for anything!

 

Dragana claps excitedly and sprints off-screen. Bubba stands on his hind legs and stares at Click. He lets out a single grunt.

 

Clickbait: I know, I know.

 

The lion hops back up on the couch and rolls onto his side. The clicking of heels can be heard as Dragana walks back in, wearing a white polka dot dress with a beige blazer. She takes Click by the hand and laughs as they leave the Dojo. Bubba looks on while swinging his tail back and forth.
