Aquata Cove Ch. 30

"Wh-What are you doing??"

"I..." Adam blushed as he looked into Merrick's eyes, "I wanna dance with you..." He put his hand on Merrick's waist, and his other on his shoulder.

"Dance?" Merrick said, feeling his face tingle.

"It's sort of a movement humans do... When there's music playing..." He explained softly as they began to move, "Sometimes we feel like dancing with each other..." Merrick's feet seemed to begun moving on their own, "And this..." Adam said as his warm brown eyes looked into Merrick's vivid sapphire eyes, "This dance... It's of romance..."

"Adam..." Merrick uttered as they slowly rotated as they moved close together under the mystical moonlight.

"And... This song... It kinda sums up our relationship..." Adam blushed even more.

"How do you mean?"

"Cause, ~~I knew I loved you," Adam sang with the song, just as the lyrics started, "~Before I met you~~" Merrick giggled happily as his human sang to him as they slowly danced, "I~ think I dreamed you in to liiiffe~~"

Merrick's eyes couldn't help but moisten with glimmering tears as Adam sang on. Merrick wrapped his arm around to Adam's shoulder as he put his head onto Adam's chest.

"~~There's just no rhyme or reason, only this sense of completion~" Adam hymned as he and Merrick slowly danced along with the soft breeze, "~And in your eyes, I see the missing pieces... ~~Searching for, I think I found my way home~~"

Losing sense of time in Adam's arms, Merrick simply danced and followed his human's movements. It seemed that he has not been paying enough attention, as he suddenly gasped, and looked around him.

"Merrick? What's- Whoa...!" Adam looked around, and notices that everything is illuminated by a blaring red glow. The two looked up at the moon, to see it is now a glowing orb of crimson. He turned back, and gasped, "M-Merrick! Your eyes!"

"Y-YOUR eyes!" Merrick responded. Both males' eyes are shimmering a magenta sheen. Adam then noticed Merrick's light, golden hair rippling with the same pink light. Adam backed away, and looked at his hands, then noticed a dull light playing off his fingernails, and then saw the magenta light coming off the hairs on his arm.

"Merrick. Is this..." He looked up, his voice hushed, "Is this how I was... When we first saw each other?"

Merrick nodded as he looked his gleaming eyes into Adam's glowing eyes, "Yes... This is the light of the Sea Mother's heart... The divine aura that shines off of the bond between a merperson and their mate."

"Has it... Ever shone when you were with your pod during a red moon?" Adam asked softly. Merrick shook his head.

"No... It only happens when they are together..." Merrick's eyes watered as he looked at Adam, "For 4 red moons, since I fell in love with you... I had to pretend to fail... To act as if I have never found love..." Merrick shook as he held his arms, "I felt envious of all the merfolk who found their love, and could swim freely together... Adam..." He sniffled before Adam came up to him.

"It's alright, sweetie..." Adam muttered, "We're together now..." Merrick sniffled as he nuzzled Adam lovingly.

"... I love you..." Merrick whispered.

"I love you too" Adam whispered back as he hugged Merrick gently, "... Take off your clothes..."

"Adam... I don't feel like-"

"No," Adam said, "We're here now, together." Adam brought a hand to Merrick's cheek, "We got to dance for me... I want us to dance for you now..." Merrick's eyes shimmered with tears of happiness as he looked at his human.

"Oh Adam..."

Moments later, Merrick places the silver sash and band on the neatly folded clothes, right next to Adam's folded shorts and shirt. He turned to Adam, both men naked as the day they were born. Adam's hearted pounded he noticed the pink glow trickling along the fuzz of his body.

Holding hands, Merrick and Adam walked to the small cliff. At the last second, Adam swept Merrick right off his feet, and leapt right off of the rock! Merrick excitedly clutched onto his human during the next few seconds in the air, before he and Adam splashed into the ocean!!

"EEENNNNNHHHHH!!!" Adam moaned forcefully as the cold of the water bit every inch of his body.

"Hmhmhmhm~~" Amongst the cringing, Adam heard the eerie, mystical chuckle of his aquatic lover. Forcing down the urge to climb out of the chilling water, Adam looked and smiled as he saw his merman gracefully swim around him.

His blonde hair now a field of spiky fins, his body now a blue and silver color, the merman circled around him, his long, beautiful tail undulating to and fro as he glides around the human.

Adam stared in awe at his merman. Aside from the fact that it has been a very, VERY long time since he seen Merrick in his true form, the merman's body is also shining with the magenta glow! Like refracting light dancing on the sea floor, an aura of pink and purple shines across his fishy form!

Merrick slips his webbed hand into Adam's, and twirls around him slowly. Adam smiles as he felt the water flow around him as they moved though the deep blue.

Besides the sound of the ocean, Adam can faintly hear the distant sounds of... Merriment. As if he can feel and hear the joyous hymns of love from pods of merfolk from across the seas, into the Hawaiian waters, drifting along him and Merrick!

Adam closes his eyes as he felt his merman's slippery body rub against his, feeling the strong tail flex and wave, and feeling the tender tickle from the frilly membrane on either side of Merrick's lower body. He giggled as he felt Merrick nip at his ears before gracefully twirling around him. Just in the touch of his mate, Adam can feel the year of longing Merrick has suffered from being apart, especially during a Lunar Eclipse, when love within merfolk is presented for each other. It makes him want this night ti never end...

Then, Adam spotted a glint of red. He staggered in the water and turned around. Merrick caught sight of his sudden jolt, and looked around as well.

Adam gasped again as he saw a blink of red again. He tugged on Merrick's arm, and pointed to a faint, red twinkle is. Merrick looked and peered his eyes. His darkened eyes then widened in wonder, his mouth agap as he put his arms around Adam. The human felt a little scared, as he spotted another glimmer of red, but this time there is also a spot of purple, and a few tiny orbs of yellow light.

Letting a light, purring squeal, came a small, purple fish-like creature, sailing though the water with two translucent blue wing, like that of an insect. They have tiny purple bodies, long pectoral fins, intricate red light glowing like bioluminescence, two golden eyes, and three glowing dots above its head.

Adam shook as it swam up, but then saw another one, looping a circle and flying next to them in the water. Merrick smiled in amazement as he saw a third sea fairy twinkle into view, and started to swim playfully around them.

"Uundiinnes..." Came Merrick's strange, merman voice. It's barely legible, but judging from the excited smile, Adam guessed these... Things, Undines... These creatures are a good thing.

Merrick took both of Adam's hands, and whirled the both of them in a faster, more playful dance in the water. The three tiny water nymphs circled around the two lovers, sharing this beautiful moment, in the day and night of love.

Between a shimmering merman, and a twinkling human.
