Adam watches as he sits up, looking a little worried about his blonde\nbeauty. He reaches over, and gently stroked his golden hair, along his ear, and\non his soft cheek. He sighed as he got up, and left the tent. He stretches a\nbit and straightens his back, feeling the hot sunshine hit his face.\n \nHe walks across the campsite - a black pit in the middle of\nthe fenced lot, about 20 tents are arranged in a large circle, most people talk\namongst themselves, some fully clothed, and some of them nude or otherwise clad\nin skimpy pieces. Adam walks to one of large tubs of drinks - large cylinders\nwith bottles of water, soda, powerade swimming in icy water.\n \nHe bends over, and pulls out three bottles of freezing\nwater, \"Yo Adam!\" Jamal called out. Adam turns and smirks as he sees Jamal in\nhis speedo.\n \n\"Hey Jamal. Life Guard again?\"\n \n\"Just earning a couple of extra bucks. Where's Merrick?\"\n\n\"He's still asleep.\"\n \n\"Ha, sleepin in, eh?\" \n \n\"Yeah... Since yesterday afternoon.\" Adam said.\n \n\"What?\"\n \nAdam sighed as he walked up to Jamal, \"When he and I set up\nthe tent yesterday, we, you know, fooled around a little bit.\"\n \n\"Aight, details.\" Jamal said. Adam scoffed and swatted his\narm. \n \n\"Anyway, after we finished he just... Passed out.\"\n \n\"Was he drunk or something?\"\n \n\"No, he just gave me a blowjob, and then he just dozes off\nright after.\"\n \n\"And he hasn't woken up yet?\"\n \n\"No, not even for dinner last night.\"\n \n\"Maybe he just tired,\" Jamal shrugged.\n \n\"I don't know... He's never slept in this late.\"\n \n\"He dehydrated again?\"\n \n\"Maybe...\"\n \n\"Ah man... Well you take care of him. I just came git dressed,\nthen I'mma head up to the ship.\" \n \n\"Oh, wait then, Jamal!\" Adam held onto his strong arm to\nturn his head.\n \n\"Yeah?\"\n \n\"I need a favor.\"\n \n\"Aight,\" Jamal turned back around, \"What'cha need?\"\n \n\"You're good with people, right?\" Adam asked. Jamal broke\ninto a grin.\n \n\"Mo than good, yo.\"\n \n\"Not THAT kind of good,\" Adam said rolling his eyes,\n\"There's someone I need you to find for me.\"\n \n\"Yeah?\"\n \n\"A girl about this tall\" Adam held his palm flat and held it\nup, \"Dark red hair, got a heart tattoo on her arm.\"\n \n\"Ok, but why?\"\n \n\"Merrick says she's a mermaid.\" \n \nJamal raised his brows at that, \"Fo real?\"\n \n\"Yeah. That tattoo on her arm? It's the EXACT same symbol on\nthe back of Merrick's neck.\"\n \n\"Ho shit.\" Jamal said, \"That mean she a rogue too, right?\"\n \n\"Yeah, for getting with a human - I saw her kissing a guy,\nso she's probably straight or bi. He's been trying to find her so they can\ntalk, but he keeps missing her. So... Could you keep an eye out for her, and if\nyou see her, use your ol' Dark Charm to get her to see Merrick?\"\n \nJamal chuckled, \"Count on it, bro.\"\n \n\"Cool, thanks.\" Adam walked back over to his tent, and\nsmiled at his half-naked boyfriend. He crawls into the tent, just as those eyes\nstarted to peek open. He leans in to kiss Merrick's cheek, \"Hey, sleepyhead.\"\n \n\"Mmmnnn...\" Merrick breathed deeply, and stretched on the\nsleeping bags, \"Ahhh nnnhhh... I feel like I've been asleep for moons.\"\n \n\"Naw, just almost a full day.\" Adam said as he snuggled down\nto his lover. \n \n\"Mmnnn... Really? ... I remember...\" Merrick smiled as he reached\ndown a little, and started to deftly grope Adam's groin, \"I was sucking on your\ncock...\" Merrick's hand pressed in to feel so he can feel Adam's genitals through\nhis trunks, \"Your dick was so hard...\" Adam blushed as he felt his member start\nto perk, \"And you were moaning... Moaning... And then you shot your load inside my\nmouth...\" Merrick groaned a little before he stopped fondling Adam, and rubbed\nAdam's tummy.\n \n\"You're such a little tease,\" Adam said as he rubbed along\nMerrick's bare hip, \"But seriously... You were out cold the whole time... I\ncouldn't even wake you up for dinner last night.\"\n \n\"Mmm...\"\n \n\"Were you dehydrated at all?\"\n \n\"I dunno...\" Merrick sleepily replied, \"I didn't feel weak or\ndizzy... Just so tired...\"\n \n\"Well, here,\" Adam pressed one of the dripping bottles up\nonto Merrick's face.\n\n\"Ohhh, that's so good~\" Merrick moaned. Adam blinked, and saw that the wet part\nof Merrick's face was starting to turn light blue.\n \n\"Uh-oh, you're changing.\" Adam said.\n \n\"Oh, I am?\" Merrick said as he touched his face, and looked\nas his fingertips turn silver. He plucked up the scale of his necklace, and saw\nthat it's completely transparent with a grey tinge, like a small flake of\nglass, \"Did you bring the others?\" Merrick sat up and unhooked his necklace.\n \n\"Yeah, right here,\" Adam dug in his pocket, and brought out\na small velvet pouch, hearing light clinks within it. Merrick removed the\nexpired scale from the chain, just as Adam fished out a fresh, gleaming blue\none.\n \n\"This one lasted longer,\" Merrick said as he took the new\none, \"Atarah's getting better at making these.\"\n\n\"Does it ever hurt when you pluck one off?\"\n \n\"A little,\" Merrick said as he worked the tiny metal ring\nfrom the old scale, and into the new one, \"It's like picking off a few strands\nof hair. At least wearing scale keeps me safe.\" He reconnected the necklace\naround his neck, and the blue smudges on his face and fingers immediately\nvanished. \"Ok, how do I look?\" Merrick asked.\n\nAdam leaned in, and licked the droplets on Merrick's face. The merman giggled\nharshly as Adam lapped and meshed his lips against that face.\n \n\"As beautiful as you are when you're wet.\"\n \n\"Hehehehe,\" Merrick giggled as Adam nuzzled and kissed his\nneck. \"I love you, Adam.\"\n \n\"I love you too, honey.\" Adam replied. He unzipped the tent,\nand crawled out, followed by his lover. Merrick held hands with Adam as they\nwent to the entrance of the campsite, and left. A couple of guys passed by, and\ngave Merrick a whistle.\n \n\"Nice look~\" One of them said. \n \nAdam turned, and realized that Merrick isn't wearing\nanything below the waist! Only his wife-beater tanktop \"Merrick!\" \n \n\"What?\"\n \n\"You're no wearing any trunks, or speedo!\" Merrick looked\ndown, and then back up, and shrugged.\n \n\"So?\"\n \n\"So?? Just... Shouldn't you wear something at least?\"\n \n\"What's the big deal? Half of everyone here isn't wearing\nanything.\"\n \n\"I-I dunno...\"\n \n\"Why?\" Merrick said with a grin coming on, \"Don't you like\nall the guys looking at you and me? Jealous to have boyfriend who'd gladly\ndance naked on the sand?\"\n \n\"Merriiiick\" Adam said, blushing.\n \n\"In fact, you know what,\" Merrick pulled at the bottom of\nhis shirt, and tugged it over himself.\n \n\"Oh my god, babe,\" Adam's face felt hot as Merrick tossed\nthe shirt away. \n \n\"What's the matter, honey~?\" Merrick said as he put his\nhands behind his head, \"Too little or too much~?\" He can't stop smiling, almost\ngetting a kick out of embarrassing Adam. \n \n\"Too... Everything.\" Adam whined.\n \n\"Oh, don't be a clam.\" Merrick said as he started to walk\noff.\n \n\"What does that even mean??\"\n \nMerrick turned around, \"You're clamming up? Come on, what\nelse would I mean?\" He chuckled as he ran up to the shore. Adam blushed and\nsmiled as he followed him. He took note of Jamal walking along the docks,\ntoward the ship...\n \nThe merman sprinted to the beach, and fell onto the golden\nsand. He rolled and tumbled onto the warm grains, laughing as he tossed the\nsand around. Adam grins as he looks over that light body. He squat down to give\nthat bubble butt a swift slap. Merrick whips around, and yanks Adam down.\n \n\"Ah!\" Adam slips and falls onto the sand, wrestled by his\nlover. He was turned over before he had time to react, and Merrick sat on his\nlap, with his hands on his shoulders, \"Since when are YOU on top?\" Adam asked\nwith a smirk.\n \n\"I come off as a bottom boy, Adam~\" Merrick said, \"But I can\noverpower you if I wanted to.\"\n \n\"Oh really?\" Adam's fingers traced along Merrick's sides,\n\"Wanna back that up?\" \n \nMerrick suddenly cringed and giggled. Adam forced Merrick\noff of him, and rolled them on the sand, \"Hehe-Hey~! No fair!\" Merrick giggled.\n \n\"Still got ya, babe.\" Adam said with a smirk.\n \n\"Hgh!\" Merrick pushed his arms up, and threw Adam off by\nsurprise, and forced him on his back. Merrick leaped on top of him, and pinned\nhis wrists down. Adam grunted and struggled to break free, but Merrick's too\nstrong, \"Ghhr... Dammit...\" He growled as he dug and kicked his feet on the sand.\n \n\"Hahahha, see?\" Merrick kissed Adam's nose with a smug look\non his face, \"If I wanna take you down, I can.\" His blue eyes looked around at\nthe other lewdly nude men, \"In fact...\" He smiles as he puts a hand onto Adam's\ntrunks, \"I think I want you exposed... Like the rest of us~\"\n \n\"W-Wait, no!\" Adam blushed fiercely as his merman started to\npull at his swimming trunks. He tried pushing those arms away, but to no avail.\n \n\"You're beautiful, Adam, let everyone else see it!\" Merrick\nsaid as he swiped those trunks away from his feet.\n \n\"DAMMIT, MERRICK!\" Adam said as he got up and chased his\nboyfriend, sprinting on the sand as Merrick laughed. A lot of the other men\nwolf-whistled and cheered as Merrick waved those trunks like a victory flag. \n \nAdam chased Merrick down the next campsite, past the\nvolleyball court, and into the shore. Seeing as the water slowed him down up to\nhis knees, Merrick balled up those trunks, and threw them to the water before\nAdam can catch him!\n \n\"What the fuck, Merrick?!\" Adam yelled before he dove into\nthe water, and swam quickly. Almost as soon as he got in, he can feel Merrick's\narms around him. Adam growled angrily as Merrick giggled and hugged him tight.\nAdam tried fighting him off, but that damn humanized merman is still being an\nuncooperative little imp.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"Hi, a Fizzy Pixie, please?\" Syrinx said at the bar.\n \n\"Yes ma'am,\" Said the bartender with a smile. \n \nSyrinx watches as the bartender took a bottle of Blueberry\nrum and a small martini glass. He poured a small portion of the light blue\nliquor into the glass before taking out a chilled can of Sprite, popped it\nopen, and filled it about 2/3 of it. He took a raspberry and a plastic stirrer\nwith a tiny star at the top, and stabbed the berry with it and placed it into\nthe drink. The bartender gives it a couple of flavored fizz-tablets to make it\nsizzle before placing three shards of frozen strawberry punch. To finish, the\nbartender took out a plastic box of thin, delicate, triangular strips of\ncaramel-candy, and carefully placed them on the rim of the glass to resemble\nfairy wings.\n \n\"Here you go, ma'am\" He said as he gave Syrinx her cocktail.\n \n\"Ooh, thank you.\"\n \nSyrinx sips her sparky drink as she turns around on the bar,\nchecking out some of the guys here and there around in the lobby. One of the\nbest things about a red-moon romance is being allowed to check out other people\nwithout the fear of infidelity or someone else stealing your boyfriend or\ngirlfriend. And does she love to smack Kevin upside that head when he's looking\nat another chick. She snickers lightly as she fishes out the raspberry in her\ndrink, licked it, and shuddered at the biting sour fizz.\n \nShe draws out her small, rhinestone-encrusted mirror, and\nlooks at her hair. Those purple streaks she dyed in her hair are already gone.\n\"Damn...\" She muttered as she put the mirror back in her little purse, \"What does\na girl have to do to keep her hair stylized...\" She turned back around, and\nstirred the ice shards around.\n \n\"Hey,\" Came a deep voice. She looks and saw a large black\nguy sit next to her, \"Buy ya that drink?\" He said with a charming smile.\n \n\"No thanks,\" Syrinx says as she gave a coy reaction. \n \n\"Aight,\" Jamal said before the bartender came to him, \"Can I\nget a Tough Puppy, please?\"\n \n\"Yessir~\" The bartender said with a grin as he checked him\nout. Once the bartender set to work on the whiskey-mixed cocktail, Jamal turned\nhis attention back to Syrinx.\n \n\"What's yo name, gurl?\"\n \n\"Syrinx\" She answered.\n \n\"Syrinx, huh. That's a sweet name.\"\n \n\"Yes...\" Syrinx really doesn't like this man's volume... He\nseems a little too familiar in his demeanor, \"I always liked it.\" Flirting is\none thing, but this man seems to have a very virile energy... Not to mention a\nlittle too keen of an interest.\n \nThe bartender gave Jamal his drink of whiskey, a pinch of\nbrown sugar, and a pair of orange wedges. \"That was fast.\" Jamal remarked.\n \n\"Oh, I'm VERY good with my hands~\" The bartender said slyly\nbefore he went to another customer.\n \nJamal took his cocktail, and looked at the mermaid again,\n\"So what's a hot lil number like yoself doin in the ship instead of the beach?\nBet chu'd have alotta fun in the sun, and you got a dazzlin figure.\"\n \n\"I'm allergic to water,\" Syrinx said with a put-off tone.\n \n\"Yeah...\" Jamal's eyes looked on her arm, and saw that\nunmistakable tribal heart symbol, \"I bet you are...\"\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"Fuck off, Merrick.\" Said the tent as a nude, half wet\nMerrick stood outside of it.\n \n\"I'm SORRY, Adam.\" Merrick said with his arms crossed, \"I\nwas just trying to have fun with you, like we always do.\" \n \n\"Do you even know what I'm mad about??\" Adam retorted.\n \n\"What, that I overpowered you in front of everyone? Or that\nwe ran around naked.\"\n \n\"The latter! And you got that backwards - you wrestled me,\nand that was fine if you weren't so smug, but then you rip my trunks off, and\nhave me chase you all over the fuckin beach!\"\n \n\"By the depths, it wasn't the WHOLE island, Adam. It was\njust half a shore at best. I REALLY don't see what the problem is!\"\n \n\"It's the principle, Merrick! You embarrassed me!\"\n \n\"How??\" Merrick held his arms up, \"Everyone else is running\naround nude, what does it matter?\"\n \n\"It DOES matter!\" Adam shouted, \"If I want to get naked on a\nbeach, that's MY decision! I don't need my boyfriend to run around and expose\nme!\"\n \n\"Ugh. You humans and your inhibitions.\" Merrick muttered.\n \n\"What was that??\"\n \n\"Nothing!\" He said, \"I want to go to the butterfly exhibit,\ncan you at least give me some clothes and my pass?\"\n \n\"No,\" Adam replied, \"You can go to the ship for your\nclothes, and get a new pass too!\"\n \n\"You know what?? I'll just go naked! I'm sure the\nbutterflies won't mind.\"\n \n\"Knock yourself out.\" \n \n\"... ENNHH!\" Merrick kicked the tent before storming off.\n \n\"... Good luck,\" Adam mumbled, \"Need cash to get a token.\"\n \n \nMerrick walked out of the campsite, onto the beach, and\nlooked out into the ocean. A lot of humans are splashing about out there - a\nlot of them naked. THEY don't seem to have any problems with showing off their\nbodies, so why does Adam have to be such a drag??\n \n \nHe rolled his eyes and groaned as he walked to the shore,\nand strode through the water. He waded through until the water was up to his\nchest, and he swam down into it.\n \nMerrick has had some practice swimming in human form, but\nhe's nowhere near as good as Adam. He moved his arms and legs to push himself\nthrough the water getting passed by a random human here and there, until he\ncame to the sand. The merman dug out in the sand, and pulled out Adam's trunks.\nAdam always loved a game of Find-The-Trunks, but now it seems like he hates it.\n \nThe trunks are pulled from a ruffle and cloud of sand, where\nMerrick tossed and shook it about in the water to clear it out, when he feels a\nhauntingly familiar foreboding. \n \nHe whipped around, and sent out a signal. His keen eyes were\nable to make out a distinct outline of a part-goat part-fish creature. He leers\nat the distance as the Capricorn stays its long distance. Merrick softly kicks\noff from the sand, nearly bumping into a swimming woman. \n \nThe merman smirks as he sees the Capricorn drifting to the\nleft. Even far away, he can sense it looking right at him with its golden eyes.\n\n \n'You can't come here, can you?' Merrick thought to himself\nas he kept signaling ahead, feeling the Capricorn coming no closer to him,\n'There are too many creatures here...' moved slowly backward, 'The mysterious\nCapricorn. A creature that cannot be found accept by those it tries to find,\nyet you will not approach when so many intelligible creatures are around, can\nyou?' \n \nThe Capricorn remained silent at its position - it has to be\nat least over half a mile away, if not further, and from what Merrick can see,\nit can't or won't let other beings know its presence. Besides that, as long as\nhe wears his necklace, he looks like every other human swimming about.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"Freakin... Merrick...\" Adam mumbles as he remains in the tent,\ngrumbling to himself. He lays naked on a damp towel, \"God, why can't he be more\ndiscrete when it comes to shit like this... Thought his Dad taught him to be\nrefined or whatever.\"\n \nHe huffs as he rolls over, his temper still burning with\naggravation from Merrick waving his trunks like a flag. He really couldn't tell\nAdam was mad at him until after they got back on the shore.\n \nAdam digs into his duffle bag, and pulls on a pair of jersey\nshorts when-\n \n-Plap-\n \nHe heard a wet slap outside of the tent. \"Hm?\" Adam turns,\nand pulls the zipper back to open the tent. He scoffed as he picked up his\nmangled lump of soaked trunks, half covered in dirt from the ground. He wrings\nit out in order to make the water pour out from the seams. \n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"There.\" Merrick says as he stalks down the sand, \"Now he\ncan stop bitching.\" \n \nAfter a few seconds, he feels something soft hit his back,\n\"Ah-\" He turns, and saw a pair of shorts, a shirt, and a butterfly-shaped token\nattached to a strap. He looks, and sees Adam walking back into the entrance of\nthe campsite.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nNick twirls his hips as the song Timber plays around. He\nwears a cowboy hat along with a vest, western boots, and cow-print undies.\nClinging to the pole he's stationed at, Nick jumps up, and twirls down, and\nundulating his crotch to entice the audience. He grins playfully as he rubs is\nbutt on the pole, showing himself off to all the other men, and a few ladies\ntoo.\n \nHe's just one of the cowboys on stage, while two other\nscantily dressed guys square-danced to the beat. Nick held onto his hat with\none hand, while the other held onto the pole as he grooved his body as if he\nwas on a bronco. He spun around the pole as the song neared its end, before\npulling a shiny pistol.\n \nThe other side-cowboys pulled out their guns too, aiming up\nover the crowd, before-\n \nBOOM\n \nEach cowboy with a gun shot smoke and confetti from each\npistol, just as the song ended.\n \n\nOnce Nick turned in his props to the dancers room and got dressed, he smiles\nwide, about to get ready to hit the floor with the first hot hunk he sees, when\nhe spots Jamal, \"Hey!\"\n \nHe pushed his way through the crowd, and found Jamal hold\nhis face, \"Jamal? You ok man?\"\n \n\"Naw, man, ahhh\" Jamal grunts in pain. Nick looks, and\nraises his brows at this cruel handprint on his cheek.\n \n\"Ah dios mio, what happened to you, man?\"\n \n\"Was tryin to talk to this one girl at the bar, and she\nfuckin slaps the lights outta me!\" Jamal.\n \n\"Fuck, man! I'm sorry!\" Nick said as he took a look at\nJamal's face, \"Damn, hun, she got you good. Where she at?? I'll slap her back!\"\n \n\"Naw, man, it ain't worth it.\" Jamal said, \"She don't wanna\nbe messed with.\"\n \n\"But man, she rejected you?? You the hottest guy on the\nship!\"\n \n\"All I said was that I like her tattoo, and then she was all\nabout her boyfriend, and then I said we can do a 3-Way. Next thing I knew, she\nknock me backward!\" \n \n\"Aw, come on,\" Nick said as he held onto one of those buff\narms, \"Lets go get you all cheered up, man.\" With that, they went off through\nthe dance floor.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nAdam walks into the Butterfly Pavilion with the short line\nof people, fully dressed with his butterfly token around his neck - it's a\nticket framed in a butterfly-shaped emblem with a barcode on the middle of it -\nwhich allows him free passage in and out of the exhibit, otherwise, he'd have\nto pay $10 to go in each time. \n \nHe let the clerk scan his token, and allowed him entry into\nthe pavilion. He walked into a powerful fan blowing strong air downward onto\nhim, before he entered the humid environment. He grins as he sees a huge array\nof trees and plants, not to mention flowers blooming everywhere he turns. Adam\nchuckles as a few butterflies flittered here, there, all over the place.\n \nAdam sighs and smiles as he sees that blonde head of hair a\nfew feet away from him. He walked to Merrick, and gently put his arms around\nhim. The merman jumped a little, until he realized it was Adam.\n \n\"You know, when I was a kid, I used to go crazy in these\nplaces.\" He said. Merrick smiled as he nudged his man, \"God, I was so into\nbutterflies, it was nuts.\"\n \n\"So what changed?\" Merrick asked.\n \n\"Nothing. I just grew up, that's all.\" Adam said.\n \n\"So I take it you're not mad at me anymore?\"\n \n\"How can I stay mad at you~?\" Adam kissed his ear. Merrick\ngiggled, and then a butterfly flew by, JUST skimming his nose. Merrick\ntwitched, took a few deep breaths, before sneezing, \"Ah, bless you.\"\n \nMerrick rubbed his nose, and looked on, \"They're so many...\"\nHe said in awe, \"... Adam, why are they trapped here?\"\n \n\"Hm? What do you mean?\"\n \n\"If humans can breed these small creatures, why not set them\nfree?\"\n \n\"It's... Not really that simple... And really, I don't know what\nthey do with the butterflies once the tourist season is over.\"\n \n\"How?\"\n \n\"Out in the while, there are a lot of predators.\" He explained,\n\"At least in here, they're safe, and they're provided with their own paradise.\nAnd when tourist season is over, I imagine they set the butterflies free.\"\nWhich he really doubts, but it's just an answer to pacify Merrick's curiosity.\n \n\"I think I understand.\" Merrick said. He walked over to a\nplatter of fruit, where several butterflies were drinking in the sweet juices.\nHe smiles as he reaches over to perhaps touch the delicate insects, but Adam\nstops him.\n \n\"Nono, you don't wanna do that.\" \n \n\"What? Why not?\"\n \n\"It's a rule. There,\" Adam points to a sign in front of the\nflowers. Merrick squints his eyes a little, recognizing some of the lettering,\neven able to make out a few of the words, \"[Please Do Not Touch The\nButterflies]\" Adam read aloud.\n \n\"How come?\"\n \n\"Some people try to catch a butterfly here, and that could\nhurt it, so they make it a rule not to touch any of them.\"\n \n\"Aww...\" Merrick pouts, but then smiles. His neck flexed, and\nhe grit his teeth, before emitting a strange, raspy whistle. The very subtle\nsound made the butterflies on the platter twitch, before they fluttered up, and\nstarted to fly around Merrick and Adam.\n \n\"Uh, Merrick??\" Adam said, chuckling as a Painted Lady\nlanded on his forehead, \"What are you doing??\" He can barely hear a strange\nringing, which he traces back to his boyfriend.\n \n\"The rule says I can't touch the butterflies,\" He said as a\nYellow Swallowtail landed on his hand, crawling daintily along his fingers,\n\"But it doesn't say that they can't come to me,\" He said with a grin.\n \n\"That's cheating, babe.\" Adam said, \"Ooh, this one's my\nfavorite!\" He said as a Luna Moth landed on his shirt. Merrick giggles as he\ndismissed the Swallowtail. Merrick sounded again as he held his fingers next to\nthe Luna, and it willingly came upon his hand, \"Wooow,\" Adam said with a smile\nat the light green insect. \n \nMerrick turns, and lets out the noise again. After a minute\nof emitting the sound, everyone stops and stares as all of the butterflies and\nmoths start to fly around. Adam smiles and laughs as he witnessed a fluttering\ntornado of multiple colors.\n \n\"What the heck are they doing??\" Said one tourist.\n \n\"Oh my god, look at this!\"\n \n\"Holy cow!\" \n \nA few people had taken out their phones, and started\nrecording the whirlwind of butterflies. With the sounds of flapping and a sort\nof breeze rolling, no one could possibly detect the silent whistle from Merrick\nas he directed the butterflies to fly in the small hurricane of wings.\n \nThe rainbow tornado thinned above, before the insects\ndispersed at the very top of the giant net-tent, and scatted in neat, organized\nstreams of colors, around the flowers and plants. Everyone chuckled and went\nabout their business, astounded by the short display.\n\n\"Babe!\" Adam whispered, \"How'd you do that??\"\n \n\"Easy. I used to do the same thing with schools of fish back\nin the sea. Sister always loved it.\"\n \n\"Yeah, but I thought you couldn't do that outside of the\nwater.\"\n \n\"That's what I used to think, but I found out I can still\nsignal other creatures. I can still get a feel for other animals on land, and I\nunderstand their resonance. I found out after a while at your house while\nspending time with Roxas.\"\n \n\"Sweetie, you're amazing.\" Adam said as he hugged Merrick\nfrom behind.\n \n \nAbout an hour later, Adam and Merrick exit the habitat, and\nbrowse around the gift shop. \n \n\"Adam, what are these?\" Merrick asked as he looked at the\nshelf of fairy wings. \n \n\"Those things?\" Adam said, \"I think it'd be easier to show\nyou.\" Adam took two pairs of white fairy wings adorned with fake jewels and golden\nlines of glitter in ornate designs. He took it up to the register, and paid for\nthem, before removing a pair of wings from the wrapping, \"Here, hold out your\narms.\" Adam pulled the straps long one arm, and then another, and showed\nMerrick to a mirror. The merman gapped as he looked at himself with wings on!\n \n\"By the depths!\" He said as he turned around, looking over\nhis shoulder to see himself, \"Do they allow me to fly?!\"\n \n\"Hahaha, no they don't,\" Adam said as he put on his wings,\n\"They're just for decoration.\"\n\n\"Wow~!\" Merrick spun around, giggling as he looks at the gorgeous wings, \"I\nlove them!\"\n \nAdam picked out a few more souvenirs around the shop, before\ntaking Merrick's hand, and walking out of the pavilion.\n \nThey looked up onto the afternoon sky as they walked,\npassing by random tourists, some of them from the cruise, others from somewhere\nelse. Merrick turns his head as they came back to the section of the island\nwith the LGBT people, and giggles as he sees a couple of nude guys playing on\nthe volleyball net, \"Wanna play volleyball?\" Merrick asked. Adam scoffed at\nthat.\n \n\"Do I get to keep my clothes on this time?\"\n \n\"Yeeeees.\" Merrick rolled his eyes.\n \n\"Heh, then sure, baby~\"\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"Then he says, 'I like yo tattoo, baby~'\" Syrinx said in a\ndark tone, \"And he starts tracing it with his finger!\" She raved as she paced\naround their small cabin.\n \n\"Ah man,\" Kevin said, \"What else did this creep say?\"\n \n\"Then he started hitting on me! Asking me if I wanted 'Get\nto know a SPECIAL friend of his!'\" Syrinx ranted. Kevin had to keep from\nsnickering, even though normally, he'd be all up in arms about hunting down\ncreeps like this, and teaching them a lesson, but this guy actually sounds a\nlittle funny.\n \n\"So I pushed him back, and tell him no thank you.\" She said\nas she paced back and forth.\n \n\"Did he leave it there.\"\n \n\"NO!\" She continued, \"He just sat there and said, 'Hear me\nout girl! I REALLY want you to meet my buddy! He really likes you!'\"\n \n\"Was he still talking about his penis?\" Kevin said, trying\nnot to laugh.\n \n\"Honestly, I really don't know!\" Syrinx said, \"After that, I\ntold him I'm not interested! I have a boyfriend! And then guess what he said\nthen!\"\n \n\"Oh God, do I REALLY want to?\" Kevin said with a grin.\n \n\"He said, 'Aw, that's ok, he can come too! I'm sure my\nfriend would like see him too'!\" She then smacked her palm quick and hard to\nsimulate a slap, \"So then I SLAPPED him across the face, and flipped him to the\nfloor!\" \n \nKevin raised his eyebrows \"Damn, girl.\"\n \n\"Then I took my drink, and left him there to squirm.\"\n \n\"Are you sure he wanted to get with you, though?\" Kevin\nsaid, \"What if he really had a buddy who wanted to meet you?\" \n \n\"Oh no, this guy was, ALL over me!\" She said as she took a\nmoment to gulp down a swig of water, \"'I gotta buddy who wants to meet you',\nNot in THIS lifetime, stupid jerk.\"\n \n\"Alright, so he MIGHT have wanted to have sex with you-\"\n \n\"Might???\" Syrinx said threateningly.\n \n\"Alright, ANYBODY would want to get with you, but did you\nreally have to knock him flat?\"\n \n\"I told him I have a boyfriend, I'm not interested in a\n3-Way, 4-Way, Side-Way, This-Way, That-Way, whatever! But he just kept on\ncoming!\"\n \n\"Babe, I'm sure it's not as bad as you think. How about we\ntalk to him? What's he look like?\"\n \n\"He's a tall, buff black guy. He ordered a Tough Puppy at\nthe bar.\"\n \n\"... Uh, Syrinx? You just described at least a quarter of the\npeople here on the cruise.\"\n \n\"Ah, so what. I don't wanna talk to him again anyway.\"\nSyrinx dismissed before she chugged some more water.\n \n\"Well... Would a 3-Way REALLY be that bad?\" Kevin said.\n \n\"... What?\" Syrinx said, \"Kevin, I'm not interested in\nsleeping around.\"\n \n\"I know, I'm not either, but, you know...\"\n \n\"Oh, uh-uh.\"\n \n\"Just, I've been KINDA bi-curious, and I don't wanna sleep\naround either, but if uh...\"\n \n\"Ugh!\" Syrinx picked up a pillow, and harshly slapped\nKevin's face with it, \"You human males are pigs!\" With that, she stormed off.\n \n\"Wait, baby!\"\n \nSLAM goes the door.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"Come oooonnn~!\" Merrick says as he drags Adam through the\nnearly deserted shopping area.\n \n\"Babe, you're so obsessed with that thing.\" Adam says with a\nchuckle just before they entered the jewelry shop.\n \n\"Just a glance, then we'll go back.\"\n \n\"Sweetie, the stores about to close anyway!\"\n \n\"Then less talkie, more movey!\" \n \nThe two merrily made it to the shop, where Merrick\nimmediately went to the glass counter to look at that beautiful filigree key.\n \n\"... Huh?\" Merrick blinked as the mount the key usually is\npresented has been replaced by a yellow-sun gold pendant, \"What...\" Adam came up\nbeside him, and looked too.\n \n\"Wait, isn't this where it usually is?\"\n\n\"Yes...\" Merrick looked up and saw the clerk coming in from the small back-office\nwith the CLOSED sign, \"E-Excuse me, miss?\"\n \n\"Oh hello again, dears! I love the wings,\" She remarked on\ntheir white and gold butterfly wings, \"Is this a quick visit? I'm afraid I'm\nabout to close-up shop.\"\n \n\"Where's the silvery key with the blue jewel?\" He poked at\nthe glass, over the mount, \"It was right here yesterday.\"\n \n\"Oh, I'm sorry, dear,\" She said, \"That one was purchased\ntwenty minutes ago.\"\n \n\"Oh no...\" Adam hushed.\n \n\"W-Who bought it??\" Merrick asked, almost desperately.\n \n\"An elderly woman purchased it for her wife.\"\n \n\"Do you have another one?\" Adam asked, \"He really wanted to\nsee it.\" \n \n\"I'm very sorry,\" The clerk said sympathetically, \"That key\nwas one of our one-of-a-kind pieces.\" \n \n\"...\" Merrick pouted, feeling very saddened by this news. It's\nnot like there was any possibility of having it for himself, but he still feels\nlike a wonderful opportunity has just slipped through his fingers.\n \n\"I'm sorry, baby...\" Adam put his arms around him.\n \n\"... It's fine.\" He said.\n \n\"... Here, it's not the same, but...\" The clerk took out the\ncatalog of the jewelry store, and flipped it open to the page containing the\nornate platinum key, \"Here's at least a picture of the key.\"\n \n\"Thank you...\" Merrick accepted it sadly.\n \n\"Thanks very much.\" Adam said with a nod before he and\nMerrick left the shop.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nIn Jamal and Nick's tent, a small lamp hangs at the tallest\npoint of the small canopy, serving as the only source of light from the dusk\noutside.\n \n\"Mmmch~\" Jamal groans as he pushes his lips down firmly on\nNick's mouth. The slender Latino moaned wantonly under his big, dark lover, his\nlight brown hands rubbing against one of Jamal's thick, rugged pecs. Jamal's\nboxer-briefs squeeze his lower regions as a large, rod-shaped bulge is tugged\nand grabbed by Nick's other hand.\n \n\"Mmmgghhh...\" Jamal growled, \"I'mma fuck you till you can't\nwalk.\" He kissed Nick's neck harshly.\n \n\"Gh... I guess...\" Nick said.\n \nJamal stopped, and held himself up over him, \"You guess?\"\n\n\"Well...\" Nick said, \"I know you usually like going hard and rough.\"\n \n\"Yeah, so do you, boo.\" Jamal replied.\n \n\"I know, but... I dunno...\" Nick said, \"Nevermind.\" \n \n\"No, what?\" Jamal said, \"What's the problem, baby?\"\n \n\"Well... Was thinkin... I keep lookin at Adam and Merrick and\nall, and they always lovey dovey, ya know?\"\n \n\"Yeah.\"\n \n\"Sometimes, I just wondering what... I don't what it's... I\ndon't know, sweet sex? Just wondering what it's like.\"\n \n\"Ah, ok then.\" Jamal said, \"We could do that.\"\n \n\"Naw, it's cool, man.\" Nick shook his head, \"Just... Forget I\nsaid anything.\"\n \n\"What?\" Jamal shrugged, \"I can be sweet.\"\n \n\"Psh!\" Nick scoffed, \"You? Man, all the times I seen you\nfuck, it's always hard and rough.\"\n \n\"Hnh,\" Jamal grinned before he moved in, \"That's cuz you\nneva asked, caramel.\" He said as he kissed Nick's chin. Nick chuckled at that.\n \n\"Aight, lets see you in sweet action, man.\"\n \nJamal smiled before he nuzzled Nick's cheek, kissing it with\nthose thick, hot lips. Nick's body flexed a little as Jamal's hand softly\nglided over Nick's soft body. \n \n\"I'mma show you how a man treats a pretty boy...\" Jamal\nmuttered darkly before softly licking a narrow line along the side of Nick's\njaw line, before giving a tickling kiss right on his ear. \n \nJamal then moves his head, and glues his lips onto Nick's.\n\"Mmmf~ Nnnnhhh~\" Nick moans submissively as Jamal's left arm burrows under the\nsmall of Nick's back, and held himself up with his right arm.\n \nNick's tongue feels Jamal's tuck up and around it, while\nJamal smoothly pumps his underwear-clad groin in wave-like movements against\nNick's thong, with his own penis already hard and outside his skimpy piece. \n \n\"Nnnhhhh...\" Nick moans as Jamal moves under, and plants a few\nrelishing kisses on the front of his neck, and down to his chest. Jamal sighs\ndeeply as he smooches and nuzzles Nick's stomach, while Nick just lay there,\nand moans a little as he feels Jamal's tongue rub along his flesh while slowly\nrubbing his manly hands up and down the Latino's lithe sides. \n \nJamal ignored Nick's dick, however, and pinched the straps\nof Nick's thong. He proceeded to peel the slutty garment down his legs, and\ntossed it aside. He took a moment to tug on his underpants off of his sweaty\nblack ass, and put it off to the side.\n \nNick plucked up a small square from his backpack, and held\nit out to Jamal. He smiled as he took the little wrapper, put a corner to his\nteeth, and tore the seal off if it, and spat out the shred, and pulled out a\nfresh, round rubber.\n \nAs Jamal slipped the condom over his large, thick cock, Nick\nscooted a little, and began to turn himself, before Jamal put his hand onto\nNick's hip.\n \n\"Naw, boo,\" Jamal said, \"Don't turn around.\"\n \n\"Don't we always go Doggy Style, though?\"\n \n\"Yeah, but you wanna see me romantical, babe~\" Jamal said\nsmoothly, \"Missionary's the best love-makin 'round.\" Nick smiled widely before\nsettling himself back on his back, and held his legs up just as Jamal inserts\nhis hand into his duffle. \n \nJamal grabbed the bottle of lube from his pack, and squirted\na glob onto his hands. Nick jumbled and cooed as he felt the cold slick rub his\nentrance. \"Nnnh~!\" He squirms as Jamal's fingers rubbed his anus, almost\nmassaging his sphincter, \"Ohhh babe...\" Nick moans as his black lover circled his\nmoist rear.\n \n\"How's that feel, hun?\" Jamal asked sensually.\n \n\"Good, man...\"\n \n\"You like that, huh?\" Jamal asked, before pressing his\nfingers in, slipping his middle and ring fingers in, \"You like a lil a this?\" \n \n\"Ohh yes, Jay...\" Nick moaned as Jamal rubbed deeply in and on\nhis hole. Nick's dick throbbed as Jamal massaged and circled his fingers\nagainst his cherry. Particularly, Jamal is spending extra time fingering and\nlubing his anus up, and the pre dripping from Nick's member shows the appeal.\n \nJamal pulled the condom's edge down to its end, flexing his\nhard, meaty dick in the tight, elastic coat before edging himself to Nick's\ncrack. \n \nNick relaxed his anus just as he felt the head of Jamal's\ncock push onto his pucker, and grunting as he felt Jamal penetrate him - slower\nthan usual, really. \"Nnnh!\"\n \n\"You aight, boo?\" Jamal asked.\n \n\"Y-Yeah...\" Nick moaned. He's been in this position before,\nbut with other guys. He always went Doggy Style with Jamal because he was just\nso good at rough sex.\n \n\"Easy now, boo...\" Jamal muttered as he stopped when the glans\nof his dick entered Nick's ass. He moved up to hold himself over his Latino\nlover, kissing him tenderly as he feels Nick's arms wrap around him.\n \nJamal's hips slowly moved forward, \"... Ahhh~!\" Nick moaned as\nhis asshole opened wider for Jamal's hard log. He moved his legs around Jamal's\nnaked hips, right before he tensed up, and gasped, \"AW~!\" He moaned out,\n\"There, there there~!\"\n \n\"Right there, huh~\" Jamal said. He positioned his legs, and\nstirred his hips a little, rubbing his dick on the same spot. \n \n\"Ohhhhh Jay~!\" Nick moaned out, before he was stifled by a\nfierce kiss. Nick's hands clasped onto Jamal's back as his tongue pushed\nagainst the other. Jamal's cock gradually pulled backward, leaving Nick's ass\ninch by inch, until his member was completely out of Nick's hot, warm tunnel.\n \nJust before Nick could say anything, Jamal's hard meat\nreentered into his bubble butt again, elating a slutty moan from his lover\nagain. Nick started to moan in Spanish as Jamal started to slide his cock back\nand forth, at a slow, repetitive rhythm - so unlike his usual hard and heavy\npumping.\n \nNick yelped again as Jamal pushed in on that hidden spot\nonce more, locking his ankles around Jamal's body.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nSyrinx leans her arms on the railing of the ship, looking\nover in the open sea as the water tossed itself over and washing up over the\nbeach. Only a few people are left, too stubborn to stop splashing around\ndespite the now present evening.\n \n\"Babe?\" Came Kevin's voice. She turned around, giving him a\n'You're-Still-In-Trouble' look, before blinking for a moment.\n \n\"Oh for God's sake.\" She said as she slapped her palm to her\nforehead.\n \nKevin chuckled awkwardly as he stood there, wearing nothing\nbut that white speedo with red heart patterns that she bought him as a joke,\n\"Figured I put this on to... You know...\" He holds two drinks in his hands - one\nFizzy Pixie, and a Mojito in the other.\n \n\"Oh my God, Kev, I can't believe you actually wore that.\"\n \n\"That's why you bought in the first place, didn't you??\"\n \n\"No, I just-\" Syrinx laughs, \"Ah forget it.\"\n \n\"I got a lot of butt-slaps on the way here...\" Kevin said,\nembarrassed as he handed over her drink. Kevin leaned in to kiss her, but was\nstopped when his mermaid pushed her two fingertips on his lips.\n \n\"Ah ah ah,\" She said, \"What have we learned?\"\n \nKevin huffed in aggravation. \"'We' means 'You and Me', not\n'Him, Her, and Us'.\" He recited.\n \n\"Good boy.\" She said as she kissed him affectionately.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nMerrick blushes and smiles as he looks at the fire pit. All\nof the men there naked, chatting and singing here and there. The aroma of\nroasted fish, hotdogs, and burgers fills the air of the campsite.\n \nThe merman looks up to the sky, breathing a quite gasp of\nwonder at the night sky. An ocean of white sparks and lights illuminate the\nblue velvet above. Yuri told him of this - in places such as a secluded island,\njungle, desert, pretty much anywhere uninhabited by humans, where there isn't\nso much light, the sky shows itself as it truly is in all of its mystical glory.\n \nHe grins as he adjusted the straps of his fairy wings - the\nONLY item equipped on his body, so to join the circle of nude men. He took a\nstep before he felt a strong pair of arms around him.\n \n\"You're not heading over there without me, are ya?\" Adam asked.\nMerrick smiles as he places his hands over Adam's.\n\n\"Of course not~\" Merrick playfully pushes his bottom against Adam's groin, but\nfaltered for a second, \"... Huh?\" Adam grins behind Merrick as his hand reached\naround, and held at his free-hanging penis, \"A-Adam?!\" Merrick turns around,\nlooking in astonishment at his buck-naked boyfriend, also wearing only his\nfairy wings. \"I thought you didn't like being naked in front of other people!\"\n \n\"Well...\" Adam blushed as he reached behind his head and\nscratched his the back of his hair, \"Figured it's nighttime, so, not a lot of\npeople to see me, and...\" Merrick smirked as he quickly tickled the patch of hair\nin Adam's underarm, \"HH! Hey!\" Adam snickered as he pulled back.\n \n\"I love you, Adam.\" Merrick said endearingly.\n \n\"I love you too...\" Adam kissed Merrick tenderly.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"Ahhh~ Ohhh~! Ennnhh!\" Nick moans out as Jamal's rock hard\nrod drove up his tight ass. Both men pant heavily as they sweat profusely in\neach other's arms. Sitting on his shins, Jamal has Nick riding his lap as he\nrolled his hips over and over and over.\n \n\"I love you, Nick~\" Jamal huffed.\n \n\"I love you too, Jaaay~\" Nick moaned shakily as his ass\nsqueezed and swallowed all around Jamal's heavy dick, \"Please don't stop~!\"\n \n\"I won't stop babe.\"\n \n\"Please... I'm so close!\" Nick's grip tightened around Jamal's\nbody.\n \n\"I'm not stoppin till you cum, baby.\"\n \n\"Oh Jaay!\" Nick whimpered as his moist body pushed against\nJamal's rippling muscles. Nick reached down and started jerking off, moaning as\nhe toyed with his Prince Albert.\n \nJamal sank that hot ass down on his crotch, and churned his\nthick dick in around in his tunnel. Jamal's hand pushed in, and replaced Nick's\nin stroking him off, \"Ohh! Ooohh! OHH! Nnnngggh!\" Nick clenched his eyes shut,\nand moaned out as his dick exploded in Jamal's superheated palm.\n \nJamal grunts as his hand squelches with Nick's hot spunk as\nit squirted and seeped between his fingers. He worked his cock in at an angle\nfor several more thrusts before his hands pressed hard around Nick's body. He\ngrunted and moaned out as his hips bucked into Nick's ass. \n \nNick moaned as he can barely feel the rubber shift inside\nhim. Panting, he carefully moves up, cringing and cooing as that cock was\nslowly removed from his used asshole. Jamal panted as he pinched the tip of the\nused condom, and pulled it off of his sore member. He threw it away in a small\nbag, and laid down next to Nick, placing his hand on that slender tummy.\n \n\"So how was dat, huh boo?\" He asked.\n \n\"That was...\" Nick panted, \"That was nice, man...\"\n \n\"... Buuut?\"\n \n\"... Honestly, I kinda prefer it hard and rough.\" Nick said.\nJamal scoffed at his Latino lover.\n \n\"Hahaha, thought chu would. You such a puto, man.\"\n \n\"Heh, Y muy orgulloso de serlo también.\" He said.\n \n\"Hah, that's fine,\" Jamal said as he rubbed Nick's stomach\nsoothingly, \"Just showin ya I can be just as romantic as anyone else.\"\n \n\"Mmm~\" Nick nodded.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"~Don't really wanna make it tough! I just wanna tell ya I\nhad enough~\" Sang a burly guy among the circle of guys, holding a small conch shell\nattached to stick to imitate a microphone to his mouth. Everyone having\nfinished their roasted fish and now are munching on smores while taking turns\nsinging songs, \"~Might sound crazy, but it ain't no lie - Bye bye byeee~\" The\nmen clapped and laughed as he finished.\n \n\"Alright, whose next?\" \n \n\"Lessee...\" The man peered around, and spotted a cute blonde\nguy with a pair of white butterfly wings on, \"How bout you?\"\n \n\"What?\" Merrick looked up, and yelped as the last singer\ntossed the shell-stick over to him.\n \n\"You wanna sing next?\"\n \n\"Ah- no!\" Merrick said, \"I can't.\"\n\n\"Ah, come one, don't be shy,\" Said another one, \"We won't make fun.\"\n \n\"N-No really...\" Merrick said, \"I can't... I can't sing.\"\n \n\"It's ok, man! It's all in good fun!\"\n \n\"No, he means it, guys,\" Adam said as he held rubbed\nMerrick's shoulder, \"He has this... Throat condition. He can talk fine, but he's\nnot able to sing at all.\" Merrick nodded as Adam gently stroked his neck.\n \n\"Aw, I'm sorry, man,\" Said another man.\n \n\"Here, I got this, babe.\" Adam said as he kissed Merrick's\ncheek, and took the shell stick.\n \n\"Alright! There we go!\" \n \nMerrick giggled as he kissed Adam back just before he moved,\nblushing as Adam stood up, exposed like and in front of everyone. Adam held the\nshell to his mouth, and began, \"Here's one of my favorites, 'We Found Love'.\"\nAdam said before clearing his throat.\n \n\"~Yellow diamonds in the light~ And we're standing\nside-by-side~! As your shadow crosses mine~ What it takes to come\naaaliiiiiii~iiivve~\" Adam put his hand to his chest and turned his head, \"It's\nthe way I'm feeling, I just can't deenyyyy~yyyy~!\" He motioned his hand in an\nfree-letting gesture, \"But I gotta let it gooo~!\"\n \nAdam groved his hips around as the other men started to clap\nin a one-second intervals.\n \n\"~We found love in a hopeless place~ We found love in a\nhopeless place~ We found love in a hopeless place~ We found love in a hope-less\nplaaaaaace~\"\n \nMerrick claps along with them, rocking in his seat as he\nsmiles with joy. Adam held an open hand outward.\n \n\"~Shine a light through an open door~ Love and Life will,\ndiiiviiiidddee~\" Adam waved his arm left to right, \"~Turn away, cause I need\nyou more,~\" He pumped his hand over his heart, \"Feel the heartbeat in my\nmiiiiii~iiiiind~\" As Adam dances in place, his wings glisten and sparkle in he\nfirelight.\n \n\"~It's the way I feel, but I can't denyyyyy~yyy~\" Adam let\nout his hand again, \"~But I've gotta let it go~\"\n \nThe men started clapping at a quick rhythm.\n \n\"~We found love in a hopeless place~ We found love in a\nhopeless place~ We found love in a hopeless place~ We found love in a hope-less\nplaaace~\"\n \nAdam took a breath and a pause as he neared the finish,\n\"~Yellow diamonds in the light~ And we're standing side-by-side ~ As your\nshadow crosses miiine~\"\n \n\"~WE FOUND LOOOOOOOOVE~\" Adam's voice climaxes the tune,\n\"~We found love in a hopeless place~ We found love in a hopeless place~ We\nfound love in a hopeless place~ We found love in a hope-less plaaaaaaace~\"\n \nHe stops and the men applaud. He sheepishly sits back down,\nbefore turning, and kissing Merrick right on the lips. He smiles as he kisses\nhis man back passionately.\n \nAdam passed the shell along, and snuggles up closer to\nMerrick as the next guy stands up and starts singing.\n","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/854531-aquata-cove-chapter-48.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/878241-aquata-cove-chapter-50.json"}
