Damn you people want me to get this chapter out. I had a hard time writing this for some reason, I hate writers block. Once again I am sorry about the slow updates but school and band is killing me. Have fun reading.

Play time
"Alfred, stop." Arthur yelled.
Arthur was pushing on Alfred's chest with all his might. The merman was not budging in the least. Arthur knew he was trapped between the bed and the large man. In one swift movement Alfred lifted Arthur's shirt up and off his body. Arthur let out a squeak when his torso hit the cold air. Alfred pressed his head to Arthur's bare chest and his left hand gripped the side of his torso with brute strength.
"You're…so warm." Alfred breathed out.
"Uh, thanks." That was all Arthur could say as he watched Alfred snuggle into him.
It was then that Arthur noticed that it was freezing inside the room. Alfred was sleeping in the cold room for a number of hours. Arthur came to the conclusion that it was the cold making Alfred so sleepy. He was able to reach for the blanket that was thrown against the wall when Alfred got up earlier and pulled it over both of them. Arthur allowed himself to drift to sleep.

Heracles was entering the parking lot getting ready to go home for today. He noticed Arthur's car was still in the parking lot. Arthur should have left over a few hours ago. He walked back in the building to find his friend. He remembered Arthur saying he was going check on Alfred so he walked up to the living quarters.
He turned the knob not expecting it to open. Heracles stood in the doorway for about a minute before he walked in the room, closing the door behind him. He slowly walked into the room, his eyes looking for any sign of danger. Walking into the bedroom he could not believe his eyes. Arthur was asleep in Alfred's arms. He slowly walked over to the sleeping couple and nudged Arthur's shoulder.
"Uh." Arthur groaned in his sleep.
"Arthur, wake up." Heracles whispered.
The Englishman opened his eyes and stared at the Greek, "What time is it."
"It's almost nine o' clock at night."
"I kind of can't get up, he has me pinned."
"I'll help."
Arthur pulled the blanket back with his one free hand. Heracles grabbed Alfred's hand and pulled. In response Alfred tightened his grip on Arthur's chest making him hiss. Arthur helped Heracles pry Alfred's hand off his side. Once he was free he found his shirt and put it back on. Arthur looked at Alfred's face to see, what looked like, discomfort. He walked over to the thermostat and turned it to 85 degrees.
"Thanks Heracles." Arthur said once he closed the bedroom door.
"No problem. What was that all about?" Heracles asked.
"I think it was too cold in the room so his body just wanted to rest to conserve heat and was searching for a heat source."
"The human body does that?"
"Yes, I only know that because I had to take biology in college. When they taught about the human body that came up and it just stuck in my head."
Arthur stepped into the warm June air. His body shivered from being in the cold room. The breeze felt wonderful blowing against his body. When the wind blew a whiff of the salty ocean came through. He walked to his car after saying good-bye to Heracles for the second time that night. Arthur rolled down the car's windows and started the ten minute drive back to his house. He pulled the car into the garage and made sure the garage door was closed before dragging himself into the house.
He went to the kitchen and pulled out the cookbook form his cabinet. It had all the recipes that his mom cooks, her present for when he graduated college. He found out quick that if he tried to make it without looking at the recipe, even though he looked at it a million times, it always came out inedible but with the book it came out fine. Arthur thought his mom put a spell on it so he would have to look at it to cook and remember her. He needed to look at a book to cook for it to be edible without it not even with the best stomach could stomach it.
After about an hour in the kitchen a small pot of beef stew was ready to be eaten with a small pot of rice on the side. Arthur fixed a bowl and went settle on the couch in the living room. The living room was dark green color with brown trimmings. The furniture was different shades of brown. It reminded Arthur of the forests back home he used to play in with his brothers. He switched on the television to some random movie channel. It so happened that The Three Musketeers was playing, the old one.
Arthur lied down on the couch, threw Union Jack over his legs, and ate his stew. His mind started to wonder back to Alfred. What would the boy do when he woke up and found the bed empty? How would he see Arthur now that he deserted him? Would the boy ever forgive him? Arthur lost his appetite after thinking about those thoughts. He placed his bowl on the stand next to the couch.
Arthur threw his hand over his eyes, "I feel horrible now."

Alfred woke up the next morning to no Arthur. He wanted the human to still be there. There was something about the human that he liked. He just wanted to wake up to Arthur's warm body next to him. Arthur's eyes are nothing like he ever seen before, full of wonder and life. Everyone in the ocean had different shades of eyes like humans but they were different that looking at a human. Arthur was the first human Alfred had actual contact with.
It did not help that his feeling were amplified because it was mating season. He heard storied of mermen, who were scouts, searching out for dominate males to mate with them. For scouts there was that mating instinct even if it was the scout taking on the female role. Dominate males gladly took on submissive males because they would help protect his females without trying anything tricky with them. Submissive males usually went after the strongest dominate. Alfred was hoping on having a scout with him this mating season. Arthur seemed to be the position of submissive to him.
Alfred sighed and placed his feet on the floor. He was still wobbly on his legs. For him legs are foreign because he never used them before, he knew he had them but he never used them. His whole life he heard stories of women going to the surface and getting to walk around. All the stories he was told by the women who watched him as he grew up and now he was experiencing it. Alfred was able to figure out the latch to the sliding door and stepped out into the early morning air. The sun was just rising over the marshland and the crisp morning wind was blowing. A mixture of pink and blue decorated the sky with clouds scattered here and there.
"Alfred." Arthur called out once he entered the room.
Arthur searched the room for Alfred. He started freaking out when he could not find him. When he turned his head when he heard the wind blowing in he saw Alfred. Alfred was standing on the balcony with the sun in front of him. It made Alfred's golden body glow and his hair brighter. When the wind blew Alfred's hair went with it and a flowing motion.
"Alfred I got some clothes." Arthur said once he was in the doorframe.
Alfred jumped a little before turning around. His eyes brightened when he saw the Englishman. The larger blond walked over to Arthur as fast as he could and threw his arms around him. Arthur could feel Alfred's body heat through his clothes. He loved the strong arms around him, it made him feel secure.
"Alfred I got the clothes, they are Sadiq's though." Arthur said.
Alfred pulled away at what Arthur said, "I rather go around as I am thank you."
"Alfred don't you start."
"I'm not starting anything."
"Then put on the clothes."
"No."
"Stop being so defiant Alfred and put on the bloody clothes or go help me."
"What, what are to going to do Arthur?" Alfred threw his arms in the air.
Arthur pinched the bridge of his nose, "Look these are the only clothes at such short notice once we find your size we will go out and buy you some more."
Alfred puffed out his cheeks, "Fine, just one problem."
'What is that?"
"I don't know how to put clothes on."
Great just what I need to get my morning started. Arthur thought. "Alright but one part you are doing on your own. Get back in room."
Alfred did as he was told and went sit on the bed. Arthur handed him a pair of boxers which Sadiq pulled out of the package this morning. He instructed Alfred on how to put them on and turned around to let Alfred have his privacy. Alfred was able to put them on with little difficulty. He was able to get the pants on but Arthur had to do the zipper and button for him.
Arthur pulled at the waist of the pants, "A little snug so we would have to go a bigger size, in length also."
He helped Alfred get the shirt on which was a black muscle shirt. Arthur felt his face heat up from looking at the merman. The smell of salt was still in the air. Arthur felt Alfred's eyes staring at him. Alfred threw his arms around Arthur's shoulders and pulled him tight against his body.
"Arthur I want to mate." He whispered in Arthur's ear.
Arthur felt his face heat up, "Go find a female, your kind probably doesn't have gay relationships."
"Actually we do."
Arthur stood baffled. He knew other species of animals had gay relationships between the species but a creature so close to humans had them too. The once thing that he could not wrap this mind around was how did they do it, they had tails. Where did they even keep it or put it? So many questions ran through Arthur's head. He pulled himself out of Alfred's grip and towards the door.
"I have work. Are you going to stay here or come with me and behave?" Arthur asked.
"I'm coming." Alfred replied.
Alfred followed Arthur around like a lost puppy. He had to stay away from Arthur while he was working so he sat by the door most of the time. Arthur occasionally looked to the side to see Alfred just watching him from the floor. He had to stop himself from wanting to keep staring in those blue eyes and get back to work. After he was finished with his work he turned to Alfred seeing a bored expression on his face.
"Alfred, can you talk to dolphins." Arthur asked.
"Yeah I can. Why?" Alfred replied getting up from the floor.
"There is a dolphin here that got run over by a boat. She refuses to eat and we have to put her to sleep to get a feeding tube in her mouth."
"Can I get in the water?"
"If you promise not to attack all of us and you have to listen to what we tell you."
"Fine, as long as I can go in the water. I also need someplace to get out of these clothes."
"I'll have everyone move while you strip outside and jump in the tank. Oh don't worry about the people freaking out when they see you. They were some of the ones Vash brought with him when he brought you here."
"Alright you don't have any explaining why there is a weird creature in the tank Artie."
"I am going to forget you called me that."
When they got outside the first thing Alfred saw was a tank about the size of the one he was kept in but without a top. There were people in wetsuits standing on a platform. One was holding a bottle and trying to get the dolphin to drink. The dolphin refused to do anything the humans asked her to do even though she understood them. Everyone left when Arthur asked them too.
"You can go ahead and strip now." Arthur said turned around.
Alfred was able to get his shirt off but ran into a trouble, "Um Arthur."
"What?"
"I can't take off the pants."
Arthur turned around and undid the button and zipper, "Remind me to teach you to get dressed yourself."
"Alright, alright I'll learn how to put on clothes." Alfred said striping off the pants and boxers in one go making Arthur spin around blushing like mad.
"Bloody wanker, warn me next time." Arthur shouted.
"We're both guys so what does it matter."
"It matters."
Alright I'm in. Alfred said in Arthur's head.
Arthur called the employees back out. In the tank Alfred, in his true form, and the dolphin were swimming around in circles. When Alfred jumped, the dolphin jumped. Everything Alfred did the dolphin mimicked. The people let the two play because they probably both been lonely.
"Alfred, try to get her to eat." Arthur shouted.
Alfred opened his mouth put only a screeched came out because he quickly shut it again. Shit, sorry. Where is the bottle I saw earlier?
"Hey bring the bottle to Alfred." Arthur told the employee with the bottle.
The employee brought the bottle to Alfred who was now sitting on the platform. Alfred grabbed the bottle from the woman and called the dolphin over with clicks. After a silent conversation, more like argument, unheard by Arthur the dolphin took to the bottle. The team of employees was shocked when dolphin listened to Alfred; he did something they could never do. After the bottle was done Alfred and the dolphin went back to playing. During the day Vash had went searching for Alfred and found him the tank playing with the dolphin.
It was sunset when Alfred got tired. Arthur went and got him a towel. The employees left to give Alfred some privacy again while he got dressed. He bid his dolphin friend and promised to come again tomorrow. Alfred noticed the way they were heading and stopped in his tracks. Arthur turned around and looked at him in confusion.
"What's wrong Alfred?" Arthur asked.
"I don't want to go back in that room." Alfred said with his head down.
"We got no other place to put you."
"Can't I go home with you? It is lonely in that room."
"I don't think Vash would let that."
"Oh."
"We can try to ask him but I can't promise a positive answer."
"Alright." Alfred followed Arthur in the other direction.
Vash was in his office working on paper work when there was a knock on his door. He watched as Arthur walked in with Alfred following behind him. Alfred had a saddened look on his face. Arthur looked nervous.
"What do you want to ask me?" Vash asked.
"I want to know if Alfred can come home with me." Arthur asked.
"I don't think that could happen." Vash answered.
"Please. It is awfully lonely in the room with just me in there. I don't like it in there." Alfred said.
"I live only ten minutes away and I come in early so it's not like won't be here." Arthur added.
"Alright, I'll allow it." Vash said in defeat.
Alfred's face lit up, "Yay!"
"Thank you sir, he'll be back, don't worry." Arthur said with a smile.
Arthur and Alfred walked out the room with big smiles on their face. Usually Vash was a strict man and would not let anything slide. Alfred stopped Arthur from walking after they were down the hall. He pressed Arthur to the wall and crushed their lips together. Arthur started kissing back and felt his legs go weak. His hands grabbed onto the front of Alfred shirt for dear life while Alfred kept his hands of Arthur's waist.
He is going to the death of me. Arthur thought as he felt a hand travel to the bottom of his shirt.

Hehehe I love leaving ya'll with cliffhangers. Sorry to disappoint you with no smut in this chapter. I really don't like writing rape but apparently all of my stories need it in the plot, what is wrong with my head. So we learned in this chapter dominate merman has gay relations with smaller males. I know how they have sex cause a chapter comes out later. Next chapter the life of the mermaid race get reveled so get ready for a lot of dialogue and explanations.
LISTEN there will be smut in the NEXT chapter because Arthur is slowly losing it. I found out that is the human body gets too cold it will want to go to sleep to conserve heat or will find a heat source like a reptile, I learned it from biology last year so the details might be a little sketchy. Alfred is warm blooded because he is a mammal even though he has gills. Get ready for the smut and I am not picking on you on this one because Alfred is going crazy with the mating hormones and Arthur is loosing to Alfred's advances.
Sorry but what is up there is important. See you next chapter or one of my other books. ^J^ Bye
