A Friend in Rough Waters (M/Reserved)

He looked over at her, smiling softly, admiring her look. "Yeah, it is..." He grinned, looking away from her, and down at his feet kicking in the water. "Gosh, this is so surreal."

It had gotten dark, but the stars were out. "it's an amazing sight honestly." she smiled looking up as well. The moonlight danced on her body and in her eyes.

"I take your word for it" He smiled, swimming back up with her, shaking his head as he looked up at the sky.

she smiled eager then went up to the water's surface to relax some "i'm not sure when i can do it but when i do i'll make sure to let you know."

He blushed softly as well, raising a brow with a smile. "I'm looking forward to it. I like surprises." He chuckled a little.

She looked to him, smiling softly. A soft blush came across her face as she bit her lip. "if i can get healed enough i can show you something really neat"

He smiled, blushing softly as she approached him. "That's alright..." he touched her arm gently.

She blushed "sorry, i guess it's easy for me to forget" she lightly touched her face then looked to him. she smiles then get close to him.

"Take it easy, Marina." He chuckled, swimming to her. "Don't get too cocky~" He partially teased. "I'm glad you're doing better, but I don't want you to hurt yourself."

She truly was magical, in spirit and in real magic. Though she had kept in a bad tank and her health was going downhill, now she seemed as if she had never seen that side of life, but he could see her every now and then almost run into a wall by getting to closer but she used her hands to stop from hurting her head.

He laughed, spinning around with her. "It's my pleasure." He watched her go, smiling softly. He admired her spirit.

she hugged him tightly "thank you!" she made them twirl like in a underwater dance, then playfully let him go, swimming in the opposite direction, giggling.

He watched her, smiling. "Well then, for as long as you like, you can consider this home." He smiled, moving with her in the water.

"no, not really." she smiled "i was kinda a loner to begin with so, I've at least got you here." she smiled more swimming around him some more. Her fin brushing him. She loved playing with him like this.

"Do you miss your home?" He looked at her. "If you do, I can always take you back to the reefs." He blinked. "It'd be no problem."

"it's a trick i learned before i was captured, it save a young girl." she smiled "i like playing by the coral reefs alot. well used too." she smiled "this is very nice still."

He chuckled softly. "This is amazing..." He said, still pretty confused. But he wouldn't question it.He swam around the pool freely, then floated on the bottom, smiling.

She smiled brightly then swam quickly around him soaring up into the air from a jump then splashing back down "you can hear me as well!" she then giggled and tugged on him some

He blushed brightly feeling her lips against his. He gasped softly when she pulled back, letting the breath he was holding out. But when he realized what she did, he gave her a shocked look.

She came up close to him then motioned to his lips with her hand and then hers.Remembering they can't speak underwater, then simply kissed him lightly, he could feel a odd magic feeling go though him, as she pulled back he no longer needed to breath air, but this would only last underwater.

He was fairly good at holding his breath underwater. He smiled, waving at her, watching her swim about the water around him. He watched her carefully, observing her movements.

She had blushed some when she could see more of him. then playfully dove after him. swimming around him in a circle, she was fast. She smiled at him underneath the water. She hoped he was good at it so she could play with him. She then remember humans need air, to live. She thought some, looking to him as she took notice of something she learned.

He chuckled. "Yeah, I love it." He looked up at the sky, then smiled. "Hey, I'll be right back." He ran inside, only to return a few minutes later in his swimsuit, revealing a surprisingly toned body. "I haven't actually swam in a long time." He dove into the water.

She watches his legs work. "thank you" she smiles softly taking another dive under to freshness her wetness. smiling the whole time. "this water is so nice!

"Well, for as long as you want and need, my home is your home." He smiled, kicking his feet underwater slowly. "Whatever you need, don't hesitate to ask."
