Arthur scanned the beach, looking through every rock formation he came across, sliding in each just to be sure Kiku hadn't fallen asleep in them and he'd just missed him.

"Kiku? Kiku are you in here?" Arthur called into the small formation. This particular one was only just big enough for Arthur to fit himself into in search of his oceanic friend. He was about to leave said formation when he heard a familiar sleepy moan. Arthur continued through the small formation until he finally found the mer-man fast asleep, his crimson tail submerged in water, while his upper half was leaned up against a rock and head lolling to the side. Laughing to himself as he walked over to the sleeping figure, and kneeling down and gently nudged him

"Kiku. Kiku wake up." Kiku simply rolled over; only his arms wrapped themselves around Arthur and took him with their owner when he rolled over. Arthur was beet red, being held tightly by Kiku he'd never admit he wanted to stay like that aside from the cold water, but he also knew they had to go and if Kiku knew what he was doing Arthur didn't know how he'd react. The last thing Arthur wanted was to ruin his relationship with Kiku.

"K-KIKU! Wake, wake up!" The sleepy mer-man rolled again, this time facing so he and Arthur's faces were only inches apart, but the merman reluctantly opened his eyes soon after realizing he was holding Arthur so close. Kiku was blushing from ear to ear when he realized this and promptly let go of his friend.

"I-I'm sorry!" Kiku stammered embarrassedly, wanting so bad to just hide away and pretend like that hadn't happened.

"I-It's okay…I-I just…it was my fault for waking you, I should, I should have let you sleep…" Arthur said, trying and failing to stay calm. Kiku shook his head.

"N-no it's fine…" he said as he started to slip out of the cave-like formation and out into the open, with Arthur soon following him. When Arthur was out of the rocks he stretched out, his spine a little cramped form having to bend down like that for so long. Arthur looked out to the ocean, looking for Kiku who surfaced shortly near him.

"There you are." Arthur said, cracking his back once more before walking over to Kiku. Kiku nodded.

"Here I am~" he cooed, turning over in the water, swimming between Arthur's legs, making him trip into Kiku's arms

"W-whoa! K-Kiku!" Arthur cried, falling back, but Kiku caught Arthur in the water and swam to shore with him. "Thanks. But please don't do that again." Arthur complained standing in the shallows. Kiku nodded with an almost smug smile, starting to swim around Arthur again playfully, making Arthur smile again. He had so many questions for Kiku but he didn't know how to ask. But he didn't fret over it too much; he couldn't remember having so much fun before. The two played around in the sea water for hours, enjoying the other's company.

"Kiku… what's it like? Being a mer-person and all? What's it like where you live?" Arthur asked eventually as he lay in the sand beside Kiku in the shallows. Kiku gave Arthur a look.

"Well… it's quite boring. Almost everything is the same in the ocean… I don't really see why humans make such a fuss over it… I think the human world would be much more exciting." Arthur rolled onto his side to look at Kiku.

"Because we've never seen anything like it, and we can't see it all the time for ourselves. But as far as I'm concerned the human world isn't that great. Sure there's a lot to see but not a lot of good people, and even fewer who can see creatures like you." Kiku nodded, looking at the sky.

"… I'll have to go soon… I wish I didn't have to leave… Th-there's a lake by my house if you ever want to stay there for a break from the sea water or whatever…" Kiku offered Arthur a warm smile.

"Arigato… maybe some time I will… I do sometimes journey up a stream to a lake once a year..." Arthur looked at him

"R-really? There was a pass from the lake to the ocean but they filled it up a little while back. It's all houses now." Kiku blinked.

"I see…" Arthur sat up "I can borrow my brother's truck and I could drive you to the lake if you'd like." Kiku smiled again

"Hai… That sounds fine." Arthur smiled back this time. Happy to have not been turned down.

"So I'll talk to him tonight about borrowing his truck. When do you want to leave?" Kiku thought a moment.

"I can leave tomorrow if you'd like. I'll just have to gather a few things for the stay." Arthur nodded

"Alright. Tomorrow then." He stood up "Do you want me to help you back home?" Kiku shook his head

"No. I'll be fine. Farewell Arthur-san." He called as he crawled into the deeper water and started swimming off.

"Bye…" he called back to Kiku as he dove beneath the waves. lingering for a few moments more before turning to leave, bracing himself to face Alfred.
