I just had a random idea. I don’t usually put random ideas here, but here we go.
So along the lines of the prince(ss) being held captive by a dragon. What if we have Tony the prince, who encounters Steve the dragon while Outside the castle for Reasons (Maybe he is escaping an arranged marriage, or general stupidity, or who the heck knows).
Steve is surprised that Tony doesn’t try to run away from him and even gives a shot at being intimidating, but he really doesn’t like scaring people, and that tends to just get villagers with pitchforks up in arms, and it’s such a hassle.
Tony is surprised (and a little miffed, let’s be honest) that Steve doesn’t try to eat him.
“Why would I eat you? You have armor on. I would chip a tooth. And you don’t have much meat anyways. It would barely be worth my time. Besides, humans taste bad.”
Tony, curious and seeing a way out of his problem (whatever that might be) politely asks Steve to abscond with him to a tower somewhere. (Well, this is Tony so probably not politely asks, but maybe charmingly demands)
Steve thinks this is rather a lot of trouble and he’s never much held with the tradition of keeping prince(ss) captives, and what is he supposed to do with a human in a tower anyways?
Tony eventually convinces him and/or just follows him around until Steve is forced to admit that he might not have absconded with Tony, but the end result is the same, so when someone tries to come “rescue” him, Steve is obliged to defend him. He IS a dragon after all, and at least some appearances have to be maintained.
And that is the beginning of how the Tragic Prince Anthony was captured by a Very Evil Dragon of the Most Vile Sort, and Steve and Tony spend years fending off would-be heroes and mobs of pitchfork-wielding villagers alike and becoming friends in the process.
