Dying came in all shapes and forms. You die young, in-between, old, healthy, ill, or even by complete accident. Her's happened to come early. While she thought she would face heaven, hell, or the void, what she didn't think would happen was to be re...
He sighed as he floated idly in his tank as the sun beat down on him. Aches in his bones and body gradually healed as he felt the sun beam down on him.
"Deva?"
Perking up, he looked up to the shark mer he had known since he was a young pup swimming up to him. The other never had a name until he called the other Cross, so the name stuck. Sitting up, he allowed his tendrils to flick and swarm the other in a hug. Cross sunk into his tendril while purring slightly at the warmth they gave off.
It was quite the handy ability he held. No matter how cold or hot anything was around him, he would begin to give off opposite waves that made others swarm him. Cross especially loved his hugs as the other practically cuddled into his tendrils as soon as he could. It was quite funny yet soothing to see the other relaxed.
Cross was the main test subject of Gaster, a being that was truly cruel and crazy deep to the core. Deva was also a test subject but due to the fact, his energy was...off so he said. From the little, he could gather, his energy seemed to prolong his life for a long time. The other even claimed that he may be close to immortality. It doesn't help that he could 'somewhat' bless others to have a prolonged life.
He doesn't plan to listen to the rambles of a mad being, as what truth laid in their words. Deva was once a human reborn into this mix of a skeleton and a blue-ringed octopus hybrid. He was quite lucky he could control his venom as he did love cuddling Cross. Cross actually became a sorta bodyguard/guardian in this place. The other seemed very keen on providing food, safety, and interesting items he gets. Deva isn't totally oblivious, as he could see the other courting him in a way he could gather.
Though, Cross doesn't seem to know this. The other was raised in this place and Deva was the only other mer skeleton they met. Deva was actually raised with his parents for the most part before their demise to Gaster finding them. Gaster only took him because he wanted a breeding partner for his test subject. Cross was just unknowingly stepping into the other's plans. Deva didn't say a thing as Cross was somewhat innocent in the mer ways.
Deva mentally shook his head as he cuddled Cross who returned it. Purrs and rumbles grew from Cross's jaws while finding the warmth in the cuddled pile. Deva smiled at the other as they gazed outside the tank to see a window facing the sea. Sorrow grew in him as he remembered this life's parents. But he pushed that down as much as he could as hope grew him.
They would get out of here, this he promises on his soul.
