I AM SORRY SORRY FOR HOW SHORT THIS IS. It's over a thousand words but I was wanting to make it at least three thousand. Unfortunately I've been so busy that it became impossible. Hopefully I'll be able to make the next update long! Let me know what you guys think? ALSO I APOLOGIZE FOR IT TAKING ME SO LONG TO UPDATE. My mental health hasn't been... The greatest.
Zero woke up on high alert, claws out as he hissed at the male quickly backpedaling away with their hands up. Their tail swayed in the water, their fins twitching in what could only be excitement.
Zero scoffed as he smelled it. The male he had come to know as Kaname was giving off a scent of arousal. Typical. Then the smaller male cursed as his own body reacted, an oil-like substance slipping out from hidden glands under his scales and slicking down them. One of his body's multiple ways of attracting potential mates - and it was certainly attracting Kaname. The dominant male's eyes glowing as he swam closer.
"Don't even think about it. I'll rip your tail off."
Kaname stopped advancing, his eyes dimming as he made a noise of amusement. "I would like to see you try little one. You would barely even scratch my scales. Though, I would happily let you try as long as I get you on me."
"You're a terrible pervert."
"I would be disappointed if you assumed anything but, My Pearl. However, I'm only a pervert for you."
Zero yawned, stretching as he started to relax more, the now heated water blanketing his body in warmth. "You barely even know me. You are going to have to work for it big boy, and maybe I'll consider it. Maybe."
Zero's lips twitched in a hint of a smile at the look of utter surprise on the predatory Mer's face. So predictable.
The smaller male tensed as Kaname swam up, loosely circling him a seemingly relaxed manner. Tail propelling him forward almost lazily. Suddenly he swam close, tail rubbing against Zero's, like silk covered steel against the little Mer's sensitive tail.
Zero moaned, face turning pink as his tail lifted for the larger male and his arousal spiked. The damn dominant was trying to court him again, this time in a more...forward manner.
"When I said work for it this wasn't what I mean- ahhh!" Zero was abruptly cut off, mewling as he felt Kaname's fingers glide teasingly over the front of his tail before darting out of range of Zero's swiping claws.
"Bastard!"
Kaname chuckled but backed off, swimming away from the glaring yet aroused Zero.
XxXx
Zero blinked, eyes widening at the huge shark floating in the water in front of him, Kaname proudly swimming around it. The dominant male had been bringing him little gifts all day, but this was...
"Kaname you ass. Get that stupid shark out of the tank!"
Kaname hissed, glaring at the speaker inside the tank as if it had personally tried to kill him or something.
"I don't care if you are trying to woo Zero, I want it gone, NOW. Bring him a normal sized fish, not a freaking great white."
Zero couldn't help but snicker as he watched a seemingly pouting Kaname drag the shark out of the tank. Well, it was the thought that counted. At least he had tried.
Zero glanced at the speaker where Yuuki's voice had come from, his eyes narrowing as he remembered the events of before. He needed to figure out what she was. Maybe he could convince Kaname to tell him?
Said male swam back in a few seconds later, bringing what Zero could only assume was more gifts. The smaller male sighed and shook his head, his lips quirking in a slight smile. He was still wary of the other male, and a little afraid, but it was slowly starting to fade away. Kaname had his moments where he decided to be an arse but when he tried he was actually pretty nice... Sort of. Not that Zero was going to let his guard down. Heck no!
Zero sighed, drifting in the water. He certainly wouldn't admit it to his 'companion', but he was rather bored. Sure it was humorous when Kaname brought him things but other than that there was nothing to do. He inched to explore, to be free. He would love to sneak away and out into the open ocean. However, if he did somehow succeed he knew it wouldn't be long before he had a certain dark haired male after him. There was no telling how Kaname would act out in the open ocean, without surveillance.
Zero shivered at the thought, a spark of arousal jolting through him. Damn it, that shouldn't turn him on.
Zero saw something sparkle out of the corner of his eye and looked down, swimming down and lightly tracing his hand along the sand, making it stir a little. His eyes glued to the object shining, just a small portion of it showing through the sand.
He moved the sand out of the way, his eyes widening as he picked the jewel up. It wasn't very big but it was beautiful, blood red and warm to the touch. It had a thin chain attached to it, presumably so it could be worn. He heard a shift in the water in the distance and quickly slipped it over his head, his hand clutching it to his chest. He didn't care who it belonged to before, he found it and it was his now!
XxXx
Yuuki laughed lightly as she watched Zero clutch the jewel to him, his gaze fierce. Merfolk like his kind who were closer to the surface loved anything that sparkled. Deep water Merfolk did too, but not as much. He had fallen for it all too easily.
"Your pretty little Mer fell for it, Kaname."
Yuuki smirked and stroked the identical stone hanging from her neck, feeling it warm up and hum in what she knew was amusement. She hadn't expected him to claim it so soon, not that she was complaining. It was to her and Kaname's advantage and relief.
Hopefully things would continue to go according to plan. If it didn't, things were going to get bloody. Both literally and figuratively.
Yuuki grinned, sharp fangs flashing. Not that she minded.
No, not at all.
Lemme know what you think!
