"Thank you all for coming, I'll fetch the birthday to thank you all too." Kurt said with a smile as his tail swished behind him, making his way to Bubbles room. "Guppies?" He cooed, eyes widening. "Where's bubbles?!
Blaine had to stall the guests as Kurt went off and he wasn't awful at it but wasn't good either, the point was basically he was terrible at it and pretty much the whole room knew the second he started speaking. "So, I lost my seahorse." He nodded quietly, trying to think of what to say.
Cooper rolled his eyes and threw a piece of coral at Blaine's tail. "Hush up Blaine. We know you lost him, that was nearly six years ago."
"Cooper." Blaine whined, rubbing his tail and flopping down onto a rock. "I'll tell everyone what happened so you hush and let me tell everyone." He nodded, sticking his tongue out childishly. "Okay. Kurt and I were swimming back from our date and then I asked if we cou-"
"Blaine!" Kurt called as he swam down and into his husband quickly, knocking Blaine clear off the rock and interrupting his story.
"Eeek!" Blaine squeaked as he fell, pouting up at Kurt as he rubbed his head. "Kurt that hurt..I was telling everyone about my seahorse."
Kurt shook his head quickly and pulled Blaine aside by his tail, fixing the merman's curls. "Bubbles is gone! No it's my a joke before you ask, this is serious Blaine. We need to find him, Now!"
Blaine flopped down as Kurt pulled him, brushing himself off when he was let go of before his eyes widened. "What?! Where is he?" He asked quickly.
Then, both the of the mermen's eyes looked out into the ocean suggestively. Kurt being the first one to talk. "You don't think..." He trailed off.
"No..he wouldn't. We've told him loads of times and he..he just wouldn't Kurt." Blaine replied, tugging Cooper aside. "Cooper!"
"Blaine Be carefu-"
"Cooper shush." Blaine said quickly, ignoring his brothers frown. "Bubbles has gone and we don't know where. He could've gone swimming in the ocean but he wouldn't, would he? Oh god I don't know, maybe he's hiding? Yeah?" He rambled, silenced by Coopers finger on his lips.
Cooper shook his head and pulled Blaine into his arms reassuringly. "Come here bro." He whispered, rubbing his back. "I'll control the crowd and you and Kurt go find bubbles."
Kurt nodded, kissing Blaine's curls before tugging him out into the ocean quickly to find their son.
Bubbles swam behind his friend as quickly as he could to try and keep up. He had only just turned four today whereas Luke was now six. "Luke, maybe we should go back.." The younger guppy said quietly, playing with his tail. "My Daddies will be looking for me."
Luke shook his head and pulled bubbles over to the edge of a water cliff, looking down to a pool of sharks. "No way. Come on, this is awesome Bubbles." He grinned. "My present to you. Happy birthday!"
Bubbles eyes widened at the sharks visible, shaking his head quickly as his tail started shaking. "We're not allowed to be here.."
"C'mon, look they're perfectly fine!" Luke assured, nudging bubbles forward a little. "Say hi to them and they'll know you're a friend, not food."
"But-"
"Don't be a shrimp." Luke mumbled, rolling his eyes. He loved Bubbles as his friend he did but he was the adventurous one and thought bubbles needed to be a little more out there too.
"I like shrimps.." Bubbles replied quietly, yelping when one of the sharks came swimming up towards them with a jaw full of sharp white teeth.
"Swim!" Luke shouted, swimming as fast as his tail could take him, ending up a few paddles away from his friends house.
Kurt jumped as Luke swam into him, tilting his head before frowning. "Luke what are you doing out here?" He asked slowly. "Where's Bubbles?"
Luke panted quickly and held onto Kurt tightly, he didn't bother hiding his fear because right now he was terrified. "There." He replied, pointing behind him.
Blaine looked up to where Luke was pointing and shook his head. "It isn't a joke Luke. Where is he?" He asked with a frown of his own.
Luke turned around with wide eyes, gasping loudly when Bubbles wasn't behind him. "He was there! We went out and there were sharks and then B-"
"Whoa whoa, What?!" Kurt exclaimed at the mention of the two going to the forbidden area of the waters. "You went to the sharks territory! What were you thinking, you're only guppies!"
Blaine shook his head and held Kurt close to his chest as his husband began crying. "Babe, Babe. Shush, we'll find him and he'll be safe, I promise."
Kurt sniffled quietly and nodded, looking up at Blaine and kissing him weakly. "Okay.." He mumbled.
"I'll help you, Sir." Luke nodded quickly, looking up at Blaine.
"No Luke, it's dangerous down there. You need to stay safe, go to our house and stay with your mother. Understood?" Blaine replied, rubbing Luke's back gently and smiling a little as the guppy swam home.
Kurt took a deep calming breath and held onto Blaine's arm tightly. "The sharks are friendly right?.."
Blaine shrugged, holding Kurt close as they swam to where Luke and Bubbles had gone. "They don't hurt us, Merpeople. We made a deal with them ages ago that they stick to their territory and we stick to ours, no crossing each others."
When they finally reached the entrance of the sharks territory, Blaine could feel Kurt tense up. "Baby, relax for me? I promise he'll be okay."
Blaine held Kurt's hand tightly and led him down into the dark caves of the sharks, trying to keep calm as they were approached.
"Dinners ready Boys." One of the sharks snapped, circling the two mermen slowly. "Who's first?"
Blaine shook his head quickly and held Kurt close. "We're not here to take your territory or destroy it, nothing." He assured, looking up at the sharks circling them. "We..our- our son, he swam off and we think he-"
"Ahh, you lost your guppy?" Karofsky grinned, showing his sharp set of teeth off teasingly. "Short, purply blue tail and weird curls?" He nodded.
Kurt looked up immediately and nodded. "What have you done to my guppy?!" He shouted, whimpering as Blaine pulled him back.
"Shush, don't shout baby. Stay calm." Blaine whispered, stroking Kurt's hair. "That's him..Bubbles."
"I don't care what he's called." Karofsky shrugged, looking up at Blaine. "You just focus on keeping your man quiet, fishy."
Blaine held Kurt closer, kissing his forehead as he whispered to him soothingly. "Please..where is he?" He asked, trying to keep calm knowing it was a loosing battle he'd fight otherwise.
Karofsky shook his head, looking between the two fish. "I'll give you back your guppy but not without charge.."
Blaine nodded quickly. "Anything!"
A/N:- I'm having loads of fun writing this story now! No writers block so far so Whoo. Obviously you've guessed..maybe. That the jocks are the sharks and Bubbles has been taken! :o *Gasp* Next Chapter will most probably be up tonight and the Next Hopefully! Any ideas what the favour is that Karofsky wants?
