Merrick nuzzled up to Adam lovingly as their hands interlaced with\neach other, and Adam's other arm wrapped around Merrick. \n \n\"I love you so much.\" Adam said as he kissed Merrick's head,\n\"I'm so sorry for everything...\"\n \n\"Adam...\" Merrick said, \"...I'm sorry too...\" \n \n\"For what, babe?\" He asked, \"I was the one who fucked up. I\nswear, I'll never touch another drink in my life.\" Merrick chuckled as he rubbed\nhis leg with Adam's.\n \n\"No, that's okay, Adam, you don't have to stop drinking.\"\n \n\"Good, because I love Cosmos, and I've been wanting to try\none of those Fizzy Pixies.\" Merrick laughed at that.\n \n\"No, no, what I meant is...\" Merrick held on tighter, \"After everything\nelse, I still couldn't figure out how to be your mate, your lover...\"\n \n\"What are you talking about, Merrick? You're ev-\"\n \n\"I don't talk about things, Adam,\" Merrick interrupted, \"And\nwhen I do, I go to Yuri, and that's only with...\" Merrick hesitated, and sighed\nas he bows his head, \"Everything...\"\n \nThe merman straighten back up, and continued, \"Growing up,\nmy Father taught me that I must cast off many of my personal burdens for the\ngreater good, to keep my focus for the sake of the pod and the future. That\nmeans that anything that may be hurting me, I have to deal with on my own...\" He\nshook his head, \"Usually, I don't like to talk about these things to you\nbecause you're my boyfriend, so you shouldn't have to deal with it, nor am I\nsupposed to show that kind of weakness. I often talk to Yuri about these sorts\nof things because for some reason, it feels more freeing to go to her.\"\n \n\"Merrick, why wouldn't you want to talk to me?\" Adam stroked\nhis cheek. \"That's what boyfriends are for.\"\n \n\"So I've heard,\" Merrick said, \"But... It's the same old\nproblems with me... I miss the sea, my pod, my old life... It should be obvious-\"\nHe hesitated, \"I mean... I thought it was... And after a while, I get sick of\nreporting to you about the same old problems. So eventually, I learned to stop\ntrusting you...\" Merrick sniffled a little, \"A-And I was wrong... When I said I\nlost everything because of you...\"\n \n\"No you weren't, Merrick...\" Adam sighed, \"You had your whole\nlife set before you, and it all fell apart when you found me. It's my fault-\"\nMerrick turned his head and kissed him. Adam blinked awkwardly as he stood\nthere, as his merman lapped and licked softly at his lips.\n \n\"I told you before, Adam...\" Merrick kissed Adam a little more\npassionately, \"If saving you from that Siren was a mistake... I'm glad I made\nit...\" He nudged Adam's cheek affectionately, \"And among everything else, I\ndidn't lose you... And I never will...\" Merrick muttered as he rubbed Adam's chest.\nAdam hugged him tightly as they turned back to the dark ocean surface as the\nship sailed along push and pull of the water. \"And... Adam, I need to confess\nsomething...\"\n \n\"Go on,\" Adam said.\n \n\"I know I say a lot of bad things about humans... How they\ndestroy, ruin, consume everything.\" Merrick cast his eyes down for a moment.\n\"But in truth...\" He turned his head back around to look his lover in the eyes,\n\"I'm vastly jealous of humanity.\" Adam blinked.\n \n\"You're... Jealous?\"\n \n\"Yes...\" Merrick looked up at the moon. \"You humans... You may\ndestroy a lot of things, but you create as much as you're able to...\" Merrick\ncontinued, \"Even when a building is destroyed, eventually someone will rebuild\nwhat was lost, maybe even better. Even when it comes to courtship, you said it\nyourself - humans can love and fuck over and over again.\" \n \n\"Baby...\" Adam shook his head, regretting that he ever said\nsuch a thing.\n \n\"But us merfolk? We can never do what humans do on a regular\nbasis. We can never go back as you can... None of us are capable of having a\nsecond love... All we can do is survive and carry what we can.\"\n \n\"Okay, now,\" Adam turned Merrick's chin to face him. \"You\nlisten to me, sweetie.\" He kissed those sweet, pink lips. \"There is nothing\nwrong with the merfolk's way of life.\"\n \n\"But that night, you said-\"\n \n\"I was drunk,\" Adam interrupted, \"And I never get drunk. And\nwhen people get drunk, they get stupid, and I was a complete dumbass.\" Adam\nnext kissed Merrick's nose, \"Now I said some stupid shit, but some people would\nactually prefer merfolk living rather than living with humans - a lot of humans\nwould rather live like that.\"\n \n\"Adam, you don't have to-\"\n \n\"Merrick I mean it! My Aunt Dolli, my Dad's sister, she\nlives out in the middle of nowhere in the desert, away from other people, and\nshe prefers to live like that.\" Merrick blinked.\n \n\"Are you serious? I've always heard that deserts are dry,\ndesolate places.\"\n \n\"Yes, but she happens to prefer that sort of place to live.\nNot all humans need to keep together in crowded places.\" Merrick chuckled.\n \n\"You're just saying that-\"\n \n\"No, I'm not, Merrick.\" Adam shook his head. \"You've seen\nme, babe, I'm not a good liar.\"\n \n\"Hehehe,\" Merrick smiled as Adam hugs him closer.\n \n\"Besides, think about it - in an average human house, you\nalways have to think about your job, your rent, endless bills, going from place\nto place in your car, having to worry about the car itself, the insurance -\nit's all just one, big, complicated mess. But in a pod of merfolk, you don't\nhave to worry about that. Everyone has a place, everyone has a simple task to\nfollow, you stick together, you don't need so many complications,\" Adam said,\n\"A lot of humans would kill for that kind of life.\" \n \nMerrick smiles with contentment, and kissed Adam on the\ncheek. \"Here...\" Merrick tucked his hand into his pocket, and drew out a strange\nlooking shell - it has several holes lined along it, with various shell parts\ninserted and constructed upon it.\n \n\"Wow.\" Adam accepted the strange shell, noting that part of\nit turned halfway like a knob. As fascinating as it was, he couldn't really\ntell what it's supposed to be, \"... What is it?\"\n \nMerrick chuckled as he took the shell. \"It's an Ocalen.\" He\nturned the side of the shell a few times and tapped the small holes a little.\n\"You know that mermen can't sing, right?\"\n \n\"Yeah.\"\n \n\"Well, some mermen still have a sense of music, though we\nstill can't sing. So we find various materials to try to make objects that can\nmake melodic sounds - what you humans call Instruments, we call Ocalens.\"\nMerrick smiled as he turned the shell's side knob. \"My Father has one of these,\nevery time he and Mother went to the surface for a romantic moment...\" He blushed\nand giggled. \"As the Adra Triton, Father charged me to watch over the Pod while\nhe and Mother went away, but every once in a while, when everyone was resting,\nI snuck around, and saw them. Father would serenade Mother with his Ocalen, and\nonce, they were even in a duet of sorts.\"\n \nMerrick brought his Ocalen up, moving the pointed mouthpiece\nto his lips, and blew. Fiddling his fingers with the holes, and also turning\nthe knob, he started to play a strangely pleasant tune from the shell. Adam\ngrinned and chuckles as he could make out the melody as Merrick played 'Can You\nFeel The Love Tonight'.\n \n\"Wow, Merrick!\" Adam accepted the shell back after Merrick's\nlittle tune, though he doesn't really want to learn how to play this thing... It\nlooks complicated to how Merrick was playing it. \"This is so neat! But...\" He\nhesitated, \"What's the occasion? Is it because we made up?\"\n \n\"No...\" Merrick turned to the moon up in the sky, half\nshrouded in thin clouds. \"See... Tonight is the night that you and I fell in love\nfor the first time.\" Adam looked up at the moon as well, as if trying to find\nsome way how the moon may be looking different than usual.\n \n\"Wow, really? How do you know? It's not even a Lunar Eclipse\nright now.\"\n \n\"I just do,\" Merrick answered, \"It's a merfolk thing.\" He\nsnuggled up to Adam. \"It's been 8 years tonight since you and I first saw into\neach other's eyes, and became bonded...\" Merrick blushed a little, \"And I wanted\nto give you a gift for it just to... You know...\"\n \n\"...You know, humans have a name for that: Anniversary - it's\nanother holiday.\"\n \nMerrick scoffed and smirked, \"Finally, a practical\nfestival.\" \n \n\"It's not really a festival, you little blonde twat.\" Adam\nnudged Merrick playfully, \"An Anniversary is the celebration of a sentimental\nevent or a memorable commitment. Like, how a married couple celebrate a 13th\nAnniversary for being married for 13 years.\"\n \n\"I think I get it,\" Merrick half-rolled his eyes, \"Like a\nbirthday for important stuff.\"\n \n\"Hmmm...\" Adam pondered, \"... As long as it's our 8th\nAnniversary...\"\n \n\"Huh?\" Merrick looked at him curiously.\n \n\"Wait here, I'll be right back.\" Adam said before giving the\nOcalen back to Merrick, and then running off. He giggled as he adjusted\nhimself, and straightened up his silver Graceful Gogo medal. \n \nAdam returned almost 5 minutes later, panting as he came up\nto him. After catching his breath, he straightened up, and offered a small\nsilver box, \"Here, sweetie. Happy Anniversary.\" \n \nMerrick recognizes the emblem on the box - it's the logo\nfrom the jewelry shop at the shopping center. He smiled with intrigue as he\nopens the box, and delicately moved the silk veils aside. The merman gasped as\nhe saw it: The platinum, angelic, filigree key pendant. The Siberian\nJeremejevite jewel in the middle curvy heart image glittered in the moonlight,\nwith two C-shapes on the lower part of the heart, and a silver curve for the\nkey teeth.\n \n\"O-Oh my g-\" Merrick covered his mouth as his eyes watered\nup, completely stunned. \"A-Ad- Ohmm!\" He squealed a little as he took rapid\nbreaths. Adam smiled and chuckled.\n \n\"A-Adam!\" Merrick quaked with emotion as his hands shook,\nfeeling Adam's hands slip in and hold him steady. \"Th-The woman there said an\nolder couple already b-bought it!\"\n \n\"That's what I told her to say if you went back there to see\nit,\" Adam said, smiling uncontrollably. \"I wanted to save it for a special\noccasion, but now seems as good as time as any, seeing as it's our\nAnniversary.\"\n \n\"B-But-\" Merrick sniffled and quickly wiped his tears,\n\"Y-You said you couldn't afford it!\" He whimpered, trying to find a reason to\ndeny the fact that it was now here, in his hand, instead of in the shop,\n\"T-That it would've taken two paychecks to pay for it-\"\n \n\"That jewelry company has been around for decades. My Gramma\nhas a very long-signed membership with them, and I was able to get an amazing\ndiscount, plus I signed up for a Payment Plan to pay it off so I won't go broke\nfor it.\"\n \n\"A-Adam... I...\" Merrick sniffled as Adam took the small box,\nand plucked it up from the smooth white fabric. Adam then removed the Gogo\nmedal, and replaced it with the dainty necklace.\n \n\"I love you, Merrick. And I just couldn't stand to leave the\ncruise without getting you something that reminded you of your mother.\"\n \n\"Adam... This... This is too much,\" Merrick wept as he plucked\nup the necklace, seeing it glisten in the low light, knowing that this\nbeautiful, shiny, valuable, now priceless pendant was now his. \n \nAdam brought Merrick's chin up, before moving in to kiss his\nlips. Merrick pushed his mouth in firmly as he put his hands onto Adam's sides.\nHis eyes closed as Adam tilted his head a little to push in a little further.\nHe rolled his jaw around as he brushed his tongue along the roof of Merrick's\nmouth.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"~I know that you're hiding things ~Using gentle words to\nshelter meee~\" A singer hymned as she stood in a beautiful songstress ensemble\nas she held a beautifully curvy microphone in her hand, \"~Your words were like\na dream... ~But dreams could never fool me~ ...Not that easily~\"\n \nWhat seemed like moments later from the railing, Adam and\nMerrick part their lips as they circled in a waltz, like a cluster of other\ncouples. \n \n\"~I acted so distant then ~Didn't say goodbye before you\nleeeft~\" The songstress was accompanied by a small orchestra to augment her\nsinging. \"~But I was listening ~You'll fight your battles far from me ~Far too\neasily~\"\n \nThe area on deck has been decorated in a formal style to\ngive it a prom-night theme, while the dancers here were dressed in formal\nattire. \"~\"Save your tears 'cause I'll come back\" ~I could hear that\nyou whispered as you walked through that door ~But still I swore~ To hide the\npain, when I turn back the pages ~Shouting might have been the answer ~What if\nI cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart\nBut now I'm not afraid to say what's iiinnn myyy\nheeeeaaaarrrrt~\"\n \n\"You humans have such a way with lyrics...\" Merrick muttered\nas his head his pressed against Adam's fine tailored tribal polo shirt,\nequipped with smooth black slacks, while Merrick wears a shimmering blue\ntunic/toga in a royal fashion, similar to that of what he wore on Valentine's\nnight.\n \n\"Yeah...\" Adam and Merrick turned slowly in the waltz,\n\"Sometimes, the best song just has the right words.\"\n \nThe songstress sang on with the next dramatic part of the\nsong \"~Though a thousand words ~Have never been spoken ~They'll fly to you\n~Crossing over the time ~And distance holding yooouuu!~ Suspended on silver\nwiiinnnngggs!~\"\n \nThe dance sped up a little with the couples dancing, \"~And a\nthousand words ~One thousand confessions ~Will cradle you ~Making all of the\npain, you feel seem far awaaay! ~They'll hold you foreeeeeeveeeerrrr~!\"\n \nThe piano and harp of the small band played a rapid tempo\nfor a set amount of seconds as the couples twirled and spun in sync with the\nsong. The music calmed down, as Merrick turned so his back brushes with Adam's\nfront as he put his around his merman, and holding his hands.\n \n\"~The dream isn't over yeet ~Though I often say, I can't\nforget~\" The songstress closes her eyes, as if the song makes her both dreary\nbut longing to continue, \"~I still relive that day ~You've been there with me\nall the way ~I still hear you say~\"\n \n\"~\"Wait for me, I'll write you letters\" ~I could\nsee how you stammered, with your eyes to the floor ~But still I swore ~To hide\nthe doubt when I turrrn back the pages~\" Adam and Merrick waltzed in turn and\nmotion with the other couples, switching from place to place while gracefully\nmoving, \n \n\"~Anger might have been the answer ~What if I'd hung my head\nand said that I couldn't wait? ~But now I'm strong enough to know it's not\ntoooo laaaate~\"\n \nA few subtle people look and survey the deck as the fancy\naffair, nodding and looking to the handful of happy couples as they hear the\nsongstress as she comes to the climax of the song.\n \n\"~Cause a thousand words ~Call out through the ages ~They'll\nfly to you ~Even though I can't see ~I know they're reaching yoouu ~Suspended\non silver wiiiinnnngggs!~\" Adam and Merrick twirl and circle in the middle,\nholding onto each other's hand as Merrick's formal robe shimmers a brilliant in\nthe white light.\n\"~Oh a thousand words ~One thousand embraces ~Will cradle\nyou ~Making all of your weary days seem far away ~They'll hold you\nforeeeeeeveeerrrr!~\" Adam glides alongside his lover as he guides the movements\nof their procession in the music.\n \nThe white lights of the dance floor seem to revolve around\nthem as the violin and piano move in the air like a river around the two men.\nThe way Adam and Merrick move shows the world just how inseparable they need to\nbe. How much their own life and souls rely on each other's resonance and\nwavelengths. Their very moves in the dance speak out across understanding how\none half is unable to be without the other, how two stars that once crossed\nbefore were always meant to cross again, no matter how far the distance or the\npain of the trails that pushes them away from each other. Merrick moves away\nfrom Adam as their hands slip over their arms, as if being pulled apart by fate\nitself. The leap of the music gives an almost tragic note, before Adam turned\nhis hand, and pulled Merrick back to him to embrace him before he could be\nlost, just as the songstress reach the next verse.\n \n\"Oh a thousand words!~\" The songstress sang in a dramatic\nelevation, \"~Have never been spoken!~ They'll fly to you!~ They'll carry you\nhome, and back into my aaaarrrms!~\" The songstress held out her hand as she\nperformed, ~Suspended on silver wiiiinnnngggs!~ Ohhooohhhh~!\"\n \nThe lovers become lost in the romantic twist and turn as the\nend of the song approached.\n \n\"~And a thousand words! ~Call out through the ages! ~They'll\ncradle you! ~Making all of the lonely years to only daaaayyyys~\n \n\"~They'll hold you foreeeeeeeeveeeeerrrrrr!~\" The dance\nfloor slowed down, and so Adam and Merrick are holding each other close, not\nnoticing that they seemed to have inspired quite a stirring of heartstrings\namoung their peers.\n \n\"~Ohhhh a thoooouuusaaaaannnnd woooorrrrrds~\" The songstress\nfinished.\n \n\n~~~\n \n \nSyrinx stands by at the far end, watching the romantic dance\nof another Waltz Night for those who want to feel a little fancy for an evening\n- Kevin's so sick of those, as Syrinx has been dragging him wearing a tux\nalmost every night since the cruise. \n \nShe sees the very strange merman in a regal-looking robe\nwith a silvery rope, holding that human's hand... It's so strange. How can a\nmerman or mermaid be attracted to the same sex? Nothing like that has ever been\nknown, has it? There have been times when some merfolk have never been seen\nwith a mate, and eventually, their lives end alone. Could that be the case?\nMating with the same gender is another one of the Sacred Laws.\n \nAnd then there's this merman's very peculiar ability to\nremain in human form, despite being wet with water. Is this one even a merman\nat all? No one has ever been able to forgo the change of water. She's CERTAIN\nthat this blonde guy is a merman, but for some reason, when he was doused with\nbottled water, or when she saw him splashing about on the beach of the island,\nnot once did he change. It really bothers her that he can do that...\n \nSuch a trait can only point to a mutation of the Black Sun.\nThat sort of metamorphosis is extremely volatile and unpredictable - for all\nanyone knows, a Black Sun could've really made it so he's unable to change into\nhis true form. The last time Syrinx heard of a Black Sun mutation was when a\nhandful of Sirens were turned from fish species to bird-like creatures. So if\nthis merman is a product of the Land Father's slumber, then shouldn't he look\nmore grotesque than this? \n \nAnd something's different about this merman too. The dance\nfloor on deck broke off as the couples walked away, and Syrinx can see the\nlight reflected in Merrick's eyes again. The unstable malevolence has become\ndeluded from the first few times she saw him. The threatening spark, the thin\nline of sanity, or the very fragile structure of his emotions seems a lot\ndifferent. \n \nHe can't be a Coshiton either - not once has she even\nspotted a single black symbol anywhere on his body. So what exactly IS he?? She\nstill feels very uneasy about even coming near him, but his eyes show a\ndifferent light. He looks as if he's... Healing.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nBack into some casual clothing, Adam sits down at big\ncushion in the Dance Lobby. Merrick just sits on his lap like a petit doll,\nbefore he leans and, and Adam holds him close and kisses his cheek.\n \n\"Hey, man,\" Jamal said as it seems that he's right next to\nhim, with Nick by his side, still wearing his golden Gogo medal.\n \n\"So how many awards are there?\" Nick asked.\n \n\"Not sure, man.\" Jamal said, \"Queen Jizzelle says that\nthey's hiding judges here and there alla round the cruise, judging people for\noutstanding stuff or something.\"\n \n\"Yeah, kinda like who had more sex than others,\" Adam said,\n\"Who danced the most, who played the most, it's kinda complicated.\"\n \n\"I thought you had to sign up for those.\" Merrick said.\n \n\"Naw naw, those were the contests. These're the Notable\nAwards - like, when people git noticed for certain things they do best round\nthe ship.\"\n \n\"Isn't that the same as a contest?\" Merrick scoffed.\n \n\"I... Well...\" Jamal fumbled for an answer, but was unable to\nfind one, \"This is more anonymous, ya git me?\"\n \n\"I barely get anything, you know that.\" Merrick said as he\nshook his head. \n \n\"They're just giving some shiny trophies to some people they\nthink deserves recognition. Only there aren't three winners. More like one at a\ntime.\"\n \n\"I still don't really get the point~\" Merrick nuzzled Adam,\n\"But I hope you win one, Adam.\" \n \n\"Oh please, I haven't done anything for a trophy. Except\nmake one of the biggest fuck-ups of my life almost a week ago.\"\n \n\"You made up for it, babe~\" Merrick said with a kiss on his\ncheek.\n \n\"Eh, I still don't think I really deserve a trophy for\ncleaning up my own mess.\"\n \n\"With as much sex I been havin,\" Jamal groaned as he rubbed\nhis groin, \"I better git a fuckin million dollars. After alla condoms I used\nup, I be givin them mah best bidness!\"\n \n\"Jamal, they're not giving out checks for the winners,\" Adam\nlaughed, \"And the condoms are free - there's a whole bowlful beside almost\nevery door.\"\n \n \n\"Alright, alright~!\" Queen Jizzelle's voice boomed out from\nthe microphone attached next to her mouth, now wearing the classy New England\nqueen gown of leopard velvet and gold linings, wearing strings of pearls and a\nbroad velvet cape lined with white fur, along with a bright, shiny astral crown\nencrusted with many jewels.\n\n\"Settle down, my lovelies~!\" She said as the crowd took their seats or their\nplaces, \"As we come to the last night of our glorious cruise, I am very excited\nto perform my very last service as your adoring queen~!\" The crowd cheered for\nQueen Jizzelle.\n \n\"Yeeeees~! Yes yes, yes~! I will miss each and every one of\nyou~! \" Queen Jizzelle responded as she basked in the collective glow, \"Sadly,\nall good things must come to an end. But lets skip all the tearful saddies, and\nget straight to the Notable Awards~!\" \n \nThe crowd cheered with excitement as she walked around, and\npinched her gloved fingers upon the silk cloth on a large shelf, and flourished\nit right off, revealing 10 gleaming, glittering, decorative trophies, each one\nspecially sculpted, stylized, and design to represent their supposed category,\nsome of them gold, some of them silver, with different colored\njewels/gems/orbs.\n \n\"Aren't they beautiful~?\" Queen Jizzelle said, \"Each one is\nfor a lucky winner who our hidden judges all over the cruise have selected\nspecially! Once your name is called up, please report next to Your Highness to\nreceive your trophy, as well as her royal blessing~\" She blew a kiss to the\naudience, \"And line up a beautiful line to present yourselves for your chosen\ndeeds~!\n \n \n \n\"And now, for the first award~\" Queen Jizzelle put her\ndainty hands upon a gold trophy, this one has three humanoid figurines standing\nwith their backs to each other in a triangular formation, each one holding an\norange-colored glass shape - an orb, a cube, and a pyramid.\n \n\"The Community Helper Award!\" Queen Jizzelle announced, \"To\none of the many kind, hard working volunteers who signed up to do as many\nprobono jobs they can participate to help make all of this possible~!\" Queen\nJizzelle removed the paper tag taped underneath the circle mount. \"And our\nCommunity Helper Award goes too...\" A roll of drums sounded as the drag queen\nunfolded the paper, and read the name written on it, \"Kathryn Evans!\"\n \nAn mid-aged woman walked up and stage, and gave a formal nod\nand smile as she received her selfless award, along with a royal kiss upon her\nforehead, and standing next in line.\n \n \n \n\"Our second award~!\" Queen Jizzelle took up the last silver\ntrophy. A martini glass with a silver neck, bottom, and rim around a\ncone-shaped glass mounted on the black circle. A thin silver pick has a purple\njewel tuck in the middle of it, along with several other differently lengthened\nsilver picks stood around the martini glass, with purple diamond-shaped jewels\nmounted at the top of each one.\n \n\"The Dizzy Drinker Award!\" Queen Jizzelle announced, \"For\nthe tipsy bar-hopper who has trailed our finest spirits, and sampled each and\nevery beverage on the menu~!\" Queen Jizzelle removed the paper tag taped\nunderneath the circle mount. \"And our Dizzy Drinker Award goes too...\" A roll of\ndrums sounded as the drag queen unfolded the paper, and read the name written\non it, \"Franklin Darone!\"\n \nA cute Italian man strode up there, and grins with eagerness\nas the queen hands over the alcoholic achievement. He gets the kiss like the\nprevious winner, and goes to take his place right next to Kathryn.\n \n \n \n\"Our third award!\" Queen Jizzelle selected a gold trophy.\nThis one has a long rod-shaped salute with a mushroom top with a pearly white\ndiamond-shaped halo above it, held up by twin smooth, graceful branch-like\npieces stemmed from the bottom of the rod.\n \n\"The Frisky Bunker Award!\" Queen Jizzelle announced, \"For\nthat tireless, virile jackrabbit who has, on multiple testimonies, slept with\nthe most people on the whole cruise~!\" Queen Jizzelle removed the paper tag\ntaped underneath the circle mount. \"And our Frisky Bunker Award goes too...\" A\nroll of drums sounded as the drag queen unfolded the paper, and read the name\nwritten on it, \"Jamal Tucker!\"\n \n\"Oh shit!\" Jamal blinked in surprise, \"No fuckin way!\" He\nsaid.\n \n\"Well, get up there, boo!\" Nick budged him.\n \n\"Go on, get going!\" Adam pushed as he grinned excitedly.\nJamal quickly scrambled up, and ran up to the stage. He couldn't stop smiling\nas Queen Jizzelle presented his sexy prize. Once again, she kisses his\nforehead, and Jamal jogged to his place on the line.\n \n \n \n\"Our fourth award!\" Queen Jizzelle gracefully picked another\none. This trophy has a medical cross with two tendrils of spiraling lines with\ngold coins melded onto the  with a\nfew green gems embedded within the casting as well.\n \n\"The Sweet Charity Award!\" Queen Jizzelle announced, \"For\nthe one who donated the most money and promise for over eight different\nnon-profit organizations sponsored on our cruise~!\" Queen Jizzelle removed the\npaper tag taped underneath the circle mount. \"And our Sweet Charity Award goes\ntoo...\" A roll of drums sounded as the drag queen unfolded the paper, and read\nthe name written on it, \"Stacey Marval!\"\n \nA pretty young girl with indigo-dyed hair climbed up onto\nthe stage, and smiled with glee as she accepted her generous award. Queen\nJizzelle also kissed her forehead, and scampered off to the line.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\"Our fifth award~!\" Queen Jizzelle picked up a golden trophy\nwith a cute bear-like idol stands in a mighty salute within a pair of\ncircle-belts with a black paw-print jewel on its round belly, along with\nattached paw prints on the top of each belt, and the bottom of it as well, with\none of the rings holding a buckle.\n \n\"The Mighty Bear Award!\" Queen Jizzelle announced, \"To the\nburliest and manliest of our cute and cuddly Bears on the cruise ship~!\" Queen\nJizzelle removed the paper tag taped underneath the circle mount. \"And our\nMighty Bear Award goes too...\" A roll of drums sounded as the drag queen unfolded\nthe paper, and read the name written on it, \"Dane Panford!\"\n \nA dirty blonde chubby guy with some firm muscles on his arms\nand legs, and a fine layer of stubble on his lower face came up to the stage,\nand accepted the ursine trophy. Queen Jizzelle gave him a kiss on his forehead,\nand sent him to stand with the other four winners.\n \n \n \n\"Our sixth award!\" Queen Jizzelle selected a trophy with an\nowl on it. The owl's eyes shimmer with clear reflector material, as did the\nfeathers of its open wings. Clear, narrow, fiber-optic lines to catch the light\nand show it as a slight rainbow tint surround the bird-like idol.\n \n\"The Rave Owl Award!\" Queen Jizzelle announced, \"For the one\nwho showed up in every party, rave, and dance in the their most fashionable\nstatement out of everyone~!\" Queen Jizzelle removed the paper tag taped\nunderneath the circle mount. \"And our Rave Owl Award goes too...\" A roll of drums\nsounded as the drag queen unfolded the paper, and read the name written on it,\n\"Jenocta Charhart!\"\n \nUp came a somewhat plump, feminine-looking person in short\nblack hair and black lipstick, in chain-link gothic clothing and biker gloves\ncame up to accept his avian award. Queen Jizzelle stamped his forehead with a\nkiss, and sent him off to line up.\n \n \n \n\"Our seventh award!\" Queen Jizzelle picks up an\nangelic-welded trophy, one that is designed and adorned in a symmetrical, curvy\nwing-like structure, holding a glittering red crystal heart in the middle.\n \n\"The Golden Lover Award!\" Queen Jizzelle announced, \"To the\ngentle, hopeless romantic that can sweep anyone off their feet with their\naffectionate charm~!\" Queen Jizzelle removed the paper tag taped underneath the\ncircle mount. \"And our Golden Lover Award goes too...\" A roll of drums sounded as\nthe drag queen unfolded the paper, and read the name written on it, \"Adam\nBryant!\"\n \n\"Wha?!\" Adam gasped as he looked at the drag queen holding\nthe glamorous prize up. He felt a pair of hands pushing him from his momentary\nparalysis.\n \n\"Go, Adam!\" Merrick said, smiling with happiness, \"Go on!\"\nHis heart pounds as his lover gets to be recognized ball all of these people.\n \n\"A-Ah!\" Adam stumbled up, and ran up to the steps, and\nhopped up to meet the queen. She smiles at him as she presented his romantic\ntrophy to him. Adam grins endlessly as he received the next royal kiss, and\nwent to the line of winners. He chuckled with excitement as he saw Jamal give\nhim an eager thumbs-up.\n \n \n \n\"Our eighth award~\" Queen Jizzelle took the next a silver\ntrophy with four hockey sticks mounted on a black stand, held in place with 3\nhoola hoops, a big one on top, a medium hoop in the middle, and a small one for\nlast, with a clear yellow sphere in the middle of it.\n \n\"The Game Maniac Award!\" Queen Jizzelle announced, \"For\nparticipating and playing every single game and activity upon the cruise more\nthan anyone on board~!\" Queen Jizzelle removed the paper tag taped underneath\nthe circle mount. \"And our Game Maniac Award goes too...\" A roll of drums sounded\nas the drag queen unfolded the paper, and read the name written on it, \"Jackie\nGaleer!\" \n \nA young copper-skinned lady ran up on stage, and accepted\nher sporty trophy. She smiles as Queen Jizzelle kissed her on her forehead, and\nsent her off to stand at her place of the line-up.\n \n \n \n\"Our ninth award!\" Queen Jizzelle goes to produce the last\ngold trophy. This one is designed with a rocky-themed figurine holding a thick\nbarbell up with both arms with six standing dumbbells with round pink jewels on\nboth ends of each one.\n \n\"The Size Builder Award!\" Queen Jizzelle announced, \"To the\nmightiest of incredible hulks who outweigh and outsize anyone on deck in pure,\nunadulterated muscle~!\" Queen Jizzelle removed the paper tag taped underneath\nthe circle mount. \"And our Size Builder Award goes too...\" A roll of drums\nsounded as the drag queen unfolded the paper, and read the name written on it,\n\"Irene Taylor!\"\n \nA tall, large, bulking woman with red hair in pigtails came\nright up, smirking with delight as she stalked up to the drag queen, easily\ntowering over her by a few feet. She had to stoop down for the queen to kiss\nher forehead, before giving her the athletic idol, and then taking her place on\nthe line.\n \n \n \n\"And now to our tenth, and final award!\" Queen Jizzelle\nlifted remaining silver trophy. This one has swirling and spiraling tendrils\nwith blue hollow-glass orbs, with a bigger one right in the middle.\n \n\"The Bubbly Washer Award!\" Queen Jizzelle announced, \"For\nthe cleaner-than-clean bather who has spent an exuberant amount of time in the\nshowers and baths~!\" Queen Jizzelle removed the paper tag taped underneath the\ncircle mount. \"And our Bubbly Washer Award goes too...\" A roll of drums sounded\nas the drag queen unfolded the paper, and read the name written on it,\n\"Benjamin Lark!\"\n \nA sunny-haired athletic guy hopped up for the stage in a\ntanktop and jeanshorts came to take his watery trophy. Queen Jizzelle once\nagain blesses him with a kiss, and sends him on his way.\n \n \n\"Lets give them one more hand, folks!\" The drag queen\ndaintily claps her hands as the crowd roars with cheers for the 10 winners,\neach one holding up their unique trophy. Adam can't stop smiling as he looks at\nthe wild crowd, and even more so when his eyes go back to Merrick and Nick.\nRight then and there, Adam just wants to drop everything, and just have at his\nbeautiful boyfriend right there on the dance lobby.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"Hmm...\" Syrinx looks with astonishment at the line-up of the\nNotable Awards, the Golden Lover in particular. The man with short, dark brown\nhair, lightly tanned skin, a thin layer of charismatic fuzz on the lower\nportion of his face, wearing just a pair of trunks and a T-shirt.\n \nIt's that merman's lover again. A bunch of other people were\ngoing on about how this stunning guy won back his cute blonde boyfriend in a\nvery romantic performance in front of everybody. She can't help but make the\nconnection. Before, that merman was on the very line of furious insanity, but\nnow when she glances at him, all she can see is a mended spirit.\n \nThe Notables left the stage with their trophies, her eyes\nfollowing the Golden Lover winner, until he sat himself down right next to the\nmerman in question. Both of them marveled at the wondrous ruby heart with\ngolden swirling wings of gold, seeing the man kiss the merman playfully, right\nnext to the guy who won the Frisky Bunker.\n \nThe more she looks at them, the more she thinks she should\nmaybe...\n \n \n\"Ah yes~! My my my, another cruise, another set of gorgeous\ntrophies gone to well-deserved sweethearts~!\" Queen Jizzelle said, \"Please do\nenjoy the remainder of the voyage, before we pull into the Aolani\nTransportation Port, and off to your pretty little homes~!\" \n \nA few gogo-boys and gogo-girls came to their posts in their\nvery sexy, skimpy lewd thongs and bikinis, and began dancing and gyrating to\nthe music as the lights flashed and loomed around a mass of dancing people.\n \nSyrinx stands from her stool, and walks out of the Dance\nLobby. She needs some time to think...\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nWith his trophy safely in his cabin, Adam dances with his\none and only lover. Merrick holds his arms up as he swerves and twirls his\nhips, wearing only a pair of jeans, sandals, and the exquisite angelic filigree\nkey hanging around his neck, while Adam wears an open vest and shorts, both of\nthem sporting a rather breezy theme of apparel. Everyone grooves the beating\nrhythm of Ke$ha's Take It Off.\n \nBOOM!\n \nCanons shoot a shimmering rain of silver confetti and fall\nlike scattered flower petals everyone in the mass of people.\n \nAdam smiles with excitement as he playfully bumps groins\nwith Merrick while his hands go to hold on his very smooth hips. His tight\nshorts already even more snug fitting the more he dances with Merrick. He goes\nin, and licks Merrick's neck, making his lover coo and moan as they hold onto\neach other in the booming party.\n \nMaybe it's the fact that neither of them has gotten off in\nalmost a week, let alone even have had sex with each other since their fight,\nor the first-ever dose of a popper Adam inhaled a short while ago just for the\nheck of it, but Merrick is looking incredibly hot right now.\n \nAs they continued to party, Adam slips his hand into\nMerrick's pants. The merman gasps and moans as he undulates his hips as he\nfeels a warm hand cup his soft genitals, while holding back a squeal as he\nfeels Adam's tongue glide over his skin, tilting his head back as if to allow a\nvampire to bite into him as Adam gnawed on his neck.\n \nAdam's other hand holds onto Merrick's side as his shorts\nsport a very large tent while he rolled and fumbled with Merrick's precious\norbs in his hand. \n \n\"A-AHhh~\" Merrick moans as he is weak in Adam's perverted hands as he feels his\nlover fondle every inch of the inside of his pants, including rubbing and\nstroking his confined cock.\n \n\"Fffffgggod,\" Adam growled through thin, desperate lips,\n\"I'm so fuckin hot for you, babe...\" He can barely contain himself as the music\nrumbled on around them, as if they're just another couple of groovy folks\ninstead of a very sexual duo.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nThomas bit his lower lip as he strokes his huge, jumbo-sized\ncock with a XL condom, and globs of glistening lube. Merrick moans as he holds\nhis supple buttocks up, completely naked and presenting himself to the taller\nblack male. Thomas aims his swollen head onto Merrick's hungry pink asshole,\nand slowly pushes into him. His glistening midnight muscles tense as he slowly\nenters into that hot velvet realm, and relaxes very carefully.\n \n\"Ahh... NNNNHHH!\" He clenches his eyes as he spreads his legs\nout to give that large dick more room to enter him.\n \n\"That feel good baby~?\" Adam asked as he kissed his cheek\nand the corner of his lips. He strokes his raging boner as Merrick moans loudly\nas Thomas forced a reaction out of him. \n\n\"So fuckin big!\" Merrick moans - this is the second time sex has hurt and felt\ngreat at the same time, the first being with Jamal that one time.\n \n\"Yooouuu arrree sssoo hot...\" Adam moans as he and Merrick\nkissed passionately. \n \nAdam shudders and moans as his hand is replaced by another\none. Greg licks Adam's loose-hanging balls as he rubs his hand up and down\nAdam's throbbing cock. The cute chubby lays on his back while Adam hovers on\nhis knees above him with his junk just above his face. Adam carefully sits on\nGreg's plump chest as he licks and suckles on the head of his dick, while\nmasturbates under Adam.\n \n \nMerrick moans as Thomas pushes gently back and forth into\nhis sweet, soft ass, \"God, you feel so fuckin good.\" He growls as he puts his\nfirm hands onto Merrick's hips. Merrick can't help but let out a submissive\nsqueal or groan each time Thomas sinks his cock into him.\n \nThe merman opens his mouth, and pushes his face into Greg's\nlap, nuzzling his soft, plush-like belly as he sloppily licks and suckles on\nhis short, uncut dick. Greg gasps and tilts his head back, just as Adam places\nhis hands onto his hefty mounds. \"C-Careful...\" Greg quietly begs as Adam secures\nhis own condom on his long hard torpedo, along with a generous application of\nlube. Adam carefully pushes his manhood between Greg's cheeks, and slowly\npushed into him.\n \n\"A-Ahhh~!\" Greg moans as his tight, hot hole makes way for\nAdam's intruding rampart into his ass. Adam's hands rubbed and massaged Greg's\nbroad, round belly while Thomas reaches below, and starts to rub Merrick's\ndrooling penis as he very slowly rubs the inside of that hot tunnel.\n\nGreg's head turns left and right, barely able to cope with the sexual energy as\nMerrick's tongue hugged and pushed on and around his 4-inch member, while\nAdam's cock slides inside him, and forces a yelp from his throat as Adam\nhappened to push his prostate. He whimpers like a dog having his back\nscratched, instead of a pudgy bear getting his backside humped and his little\ncock slurped and eaten.\n \nUsing Merrick's own precum, Thomas fondled with Merrick's\ntight, heavy nuts, feeling his smooth back jump and shudder as his sensitive\ntesticles are deftly massaged and rubbed. His back curves down as his soft\nbuttcheeks push against Thomas's coarse, thin pubic patch. His free-hanging\ncock throbs and oozes pre freely as that large penis pushes every button inside\nof him.\n \nAdam's hands glide slowly along Greg's huggable body as he\nslowly slides his cock in and own of Greg's welcoming ass, choking his dick as\nhe pushed into his rekindled buddy. Adam nibbles on Greg's warm neck as Adam's\nhands eventually find themselves on Greg's moobs. The poor chubby's knob jumps\nin Merrick's mouth as Adam tenderly squeezes and rubs his hard nipples. He\npushes his butt against Adam's body as he moans from the pinching and harsh\ntweaking for his vulnerable areolas.\n \nMerrick moans with his mouth playing with Greg's small\nendowment. His hands grip the sheets as Thomas rubs his dick up and down\nunderneath him. He clenches his cheeks together to intensify the pressure for\nThomas, before relaxing his haunches and feeling hat dick melt up inside him\nagain. His tongue wiggles against the underside of Greg's penis, before dipping\nin and around his fleshy hood at the tip of his dick, licking up the salty\nfluid from the slit.\n \n \n10 minutes later, Greg is put on his back with his thick\nlegs pushing on Adam's sides as his big, squishy belly is pushed down by Adam's\nfuzzy front. He whimpers more as Adam gently drills into his tight anus.\n \nMerrick is placed on the bed, finding a pillow and biting\ninto it as he feels Thomas's full weight press on top of him. Thomas grunts as\nhis juicy black buttcheeks flex as he pushes inside of Merrick.\n \nBoth tops push in at a rolling rhythm into both bottoms. The\nroom smelt of their horny musk blended with the scent of lube, as well as the\nsounds could be heard is their moaning from the hot, sweaty, raunchy sex.\n \nGreg looks to his side as Merrick reaches for him. Merrick\nmoves in, and presses his teeth onto Greg's ear ridge. His eyes flutter closed,\nright before a sharp moan from one of Adam's thrusts. He groans as his hands\ncling onto Adam, and the sheet he lays on. His dick smushed between his belly\nand Adam's fuzz makes him moan from the tense tickle and friction of their\nbodies.\n \nMerrick licks Greg ear like an affectionate predatory feline\nin heat as he chews on it tenderly, sensing it to Greg's liking as he also\nsucks on his lobe. A squeal came from his throat as Thomas's large dick pushes\nthat deep spot inside of him - how it hurts so good. His dick still oozing, is\nrubbed onto the mattress below him as the muscular dark man behind him fucks\nhim in a climbing speed.\n \nAdam moans as he turns his head, and puts his hand onto\nThomas's. He turns his head, and almost immediately goes to meet Adam's face in\na wild, open-mouthed kiss. Adam pushes his pelvis back and forth, rubbing up\nand down on Greg's cushion-like bottom. Thomas's teeth lightly graze his tongue\nas he tilts his head to the side to push his mouth fully and completely against\neach other. Just the kiss alone makes Adam's balls tingle with the juices that\nboil inside of his heavy bag.\n \nThomas reaches down, and starts to knead one of Adam's fuzzy\ncheeks. Adam's brows furrowed as the groping makes his cock flex inside of\nGreg. He curves his thrusts while pushing his ass against Thomas's hand as\nthose fingers dig into his meaty behind. Their lips lapped and smultzed against\neach other, losing focus as they humped into their bottoms.\n \nAdam rolls his hips back, right before he felt a sudden SLAP\non his right mound, \"UUNNH!\" He pushes harshly into Greg, making him moan out\nfrom the deep thrust. Thomas spanked Adam's left cheek, elating another\npleasure moan from him, \"Uhhh yeah~!\" Adam moaned out as he wiggled his butt a\nlittle, before Thomas delivered a quick smack onto his crack, \"Fuck yeah~\" \n \nAdam's rear stings with the swift spanks to his ass, one\nafter another. Each surprise butt-slap making him thrust deeper into Greg. His\ndick starts to feel that warning signal, \"Fuck, spank me more~!\" Adam begs as\nhe drives deep into the chubby charmer's asshole.\n \nBAM!\n \nSMACK!\n \nSPANK!\n \nWHACK!\n \nAdam moans and grunts as his bare butt turns a little pink\nfrom Thomas's hard slaps. He clenches his eyes shut as he jerked his pelvis\nback and forth into Greg, who is still whimpering from the rapid shots into his\nhole by Adam.\n \n\"Fuck... Fuck... Fuck!\" Adam pushes more harshly into Greg,\ngaping his mouth open, before his body starts jerking wildly, \"AHHH!\" His dick\nexplodes, flooding his condom. Greg coos and moans as he feels the hot white\nfluid through the thin plastic.\n \nWith Adam's convulsing cock still inside him, Greg lays\nthere as Merrick moves his mouth in, and starts to lick his left nipple. \"O-Oh\nGod!\" Greg moans as that blonde laps at his standing teat, \"A-Ah~! Nnnhh~!\"\nAdam bends down, and starts to suck on the other nub too.\n \n\"Ohh! Ghhh! Ahhh!\" Greg's head thrashes on the pillow back\nand forth as his belly bobs and tightens as both of his nipples are engulfed in\nthe embrace of greedy lips. He can only moan and whimper, even as Thomas's hand\ndigs in, and starts to grab and rub his short dick tightly.\n \nUnable to resist, move, or even shift in his position, with\ntwo men slurping and licking his two most sensitive weak nipples, and his dick\nbeing squeezed with his own pre and sweat by a thick, strong hand is driving\nhim wild. Unable to do a thing while three men pleasure him at once is more\nthan he can bare. Greg clenchs his eyes, and moans out loud as his knob swells\nand squirts all over Thomas's hand, and soaking Adam's hairy crotch with his hot\nspunk. He pants helplessly as Adam and Merrick ease down on tenderly licking\nand kissing his nipples.\n \n \nWith Merrick's lower body elevated, he moans as Adam has\ntucked his head into his lap, and sucks on his smooth, raging hard cock, before\nhis hand reached up, and gently massages those loaded berries than hung below.\nMerrick moans out as his ass is engorged with Thomas's fat rod sliding in and\nout of his very tight anus.\n \nGreg locks his mouth with Merrick's lips, spent but still\nrelatively aroused as he rubs his hands on Merrick's defined chest and abs,\nrolling his tongue invasively in their hot, foggy faces. Merrick can barely\nmake himself last too long as his meat bathes in Adam's active mouth as he bobs\nback and forth, working every bit he can on Merrick's 6-inch dick in his mouth\nwhile playing and rubbing on his balls.\n \nThe merman's hand clasp onto the bed's frame, barely able to\nkeep himself up at all with the hot monster climbing in and deep inside his wet\ncave over and over again, or with the wild soaked tongue and cheeks dancing on\nhis throbbing member underneath him, or the adorable human cupcake making out\nwith him in the midst of the fuck-suck action.\n \nAdam licks along Merrick's pole with his tongue, and his\nhand rubbing along his shaft before Merrick's muffled moan ran inside of Greg's\nmouth. His dick flexes as it juts out a powerful white splash on Adam's face!\nHis cum splats right on Adam's cheek, painted his chin and lips, even getting\ninto his dark hair. \n \nThomas pulls out of Merrick's hot ass, not far from\nclimaxing himself. He lies back, and peels the condom right off of him. Greg\nimmediately tucks between those dark brown thighs, and starts licking the\nintimate area of his sweaty ass. Thomas gasps and shudders as that hungry hot\npig slurps up his deep crack, and takes one of those fat balls into his mouth. \n \nMerrick grabs that cock like a baseball bat, and starts to\nsqueeze it firmly. He goes to nurse on the fat, swollen cock head at the top of\nThomas's shaft, and start to give fast strokes that bad boy.\n \nAdam licks his fingers so they are both soaked, and start to\nwork over those pitch-black nipples. Thomas moans and grunts as he squirms on\nthe bed. His bulging pecs flex and twitch and all of his sensitive areas are\nworked and taken advantage of all at once, like a heated, beastly factory in\nthe works of producing countless productions of his hot milk. \n \nHis deep voice elevates in the musty room as he struggles to\nmake himself last longer, but that's not going too well with Adam tuning his hard\nnubs with his wet fingers, Merrick wringing and twisting his hands around the\nhead and frenulum on his dick, and Greg digging his face into his balls\ntwitching balls and hot ass.\n \n\"AHhhh! Oh fuck! GoddAAAmmnn!\"  He moans out, dropping his head down as Merrick felt that\ncock harden like a diamond rocket. His huge black rod erupts like a crazy\nphallic fountain! While lava spurts from his member in huge globs! He pains\nAdam's hair and shoulders with specs of pearly jizz, along with Merrick's\nblonde hair, even managing to land a blob of hot, thick man-gravy onto Greg's\nnose.\n \n \nPanting, Thomas lays back, his whole body shiny with sweat\nand cum. Adam huffs as he sets himself down next to him, feeling down-right\nbeat. Merrick groans in spent satisfaction as he places his head onto Adam's\nthough, and nuzzles comfortably there. Greg crawls to Thomas's side and lays\ndown, feeling that beefy arm tuck over him, and holding him close, and making\nhim blush. \n \nThe ceiling fan spins at full power over the four men as\nthey slowly doze off into their lustful stupor into the slumber of the\nafterglow.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"Hmm...\" Syrinx sits on a chair on deck, with an icy Shirley\nTemple placed on the small table right next to her, half full of red beverage,\nwith the cherry and pineapple still pierced with a small umbrella on the side\nof it. She has her hands to her face with her fingers interlaced, and her index\nfingers standing up as she thought deeply.\n \n\"There you are.\" Came Kevin's voice. She opened her eyes,\nand saw her boyfriend in that ridiculous white speedo with red hearts on it.\nShe scoffs at him as he sat down.\n \n\"I thought you hated that thing.\" She pointed out.\n \n\"I do. But I find that I get a LOT of free drinks and stuff\nwhen I wear it around.\" Kevin said with a smirk as he kicked back on a beach\nchair.\n \n\"Oh my God, you're such a man-whore tease.\" Syrinx said as\nshe puts her fingertips on her forehead.\n \n\"So what've you been up to? I haven't seen you all day, and\nI just missed you at the Notable Awards.\"\n \n\"Thinking...\" The mermaid said, \"About that blonde merman, you\nknow?\"\n \n\"Yeah...\"\n \n\"Lately... Or, more like VERY recently,\" She started, \"I'm not\nseeing the same psycho that was punching out those guys a few days ago. I don't\nknow how to describe it, but it's like he's a different person than the first\nfew times I saw him.\"\n \nKevin shrugged, \"Maybe he's gotten over whatever's been\nfucking with him.\"\n \n\"No, I mean...\" Syrinx addled with her hands, \"Before, he just\nlooked like he could break, and go on a rampage at any given moment, even when\nhe was with his 'boyfriend'. But now, I see his eyes, and it's almost like he's\nhalfway through a rehab program.\"\n \n\"Again, maybe he got everything out of his system. That\nhappens a lot, you know.\"\n \n\"He just seems so... Weird. I know he's a merman, there is no\nmistaking that, but I can't get over how he's not changing when wet. It's\ndisturbing me a lot more than it should...\"\n \n\"That, and he fucks with guys, right? You said there isn't\nsupposed to be such a thing as gay merfolk.\" Kevin said with a quirked brow.\n \n\"I never said there wasn't SUPPOSED to be gay merfolk,\nidiot.\" Syrinx said through gritted teeth, \"I just said I've never heard of it\nbefore.\" \n \n\"Ok, cool down, babe.\" Kevin chuckled.\n \n\"Anyway, I've been thinking it over... And I still think he's\npossible dangerous...\" Syrinx sighed, and looked at her mate in the eyes, \"But\nI've decided to go and talk to him.\"\n \nKevin looked seriously at her, and then sat up, \"Are you\nserious? Before, you were petrified to even look at him. And remember, he\nalmost broke my arm when I went to talk to him myself.\"\n \n\"Things are different.\" Syrinx reasoned, \"I don't see the\nfragility in his eyes anymore. And knowing YOU, you probably provoked him with\nyour tough-guy bravado when you went to track him down.\" She added with\nirritated eyes.\n \n\"He was a tweaked out punk, I thought he needed some\ntalking-down.\"\n \n\"In any case... I changed my mind, and I want to hear him out;\nat the Shopping Center, he said he wanted to talk to me, so I'll give him what\nhe wants.\" She turned in her seat, and put her feet to the deck floor,\n\"Besides, I want a few answers from him myself.\"\n \n\"... Alright, babe... But I'm sticking with you, in case he\ntries to hurt you.\" Kevin said.\n \n\"Oh, please!\" Syrinx said, \"After how he sprained you? Do\nyou REALLY think you can take him?\"\n \n\"Come on!! Give me a LITTLE credit!\" Kevin said defensively.\n \n\"Ugh\" Syrinx felt her forehead, \"Lets just hope he's not a\ntotal wreck by the time we find him.\"\n","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/893287-aquata-cove-chapter-54.json"}
