The Ocean's Waves

Chapter 4

Just realized it was prooobablyy a bad time to come back when school literally just started but hey- you reap what you sow and it's a good thing I like gardening....

~Start~

After Sin's dramatic telling of his new name, the Mer group found themselves staring at the faces of the vastly feared pirates. 

"Well, Well, Well." Nightmare's lookalike smirked right at Sin, almost smug looking. "What do we have here?" 

This, of course, intimidated the younger Mers (except Void who was too busy chewing on the satchel strap) much to the dislike of Sin. He positioned himself in front of them instinctually, making not-Nightmare's smirk widen. 

"Now, now, let's not get too hasty here. We mean no harm... am I right crew?" not-Nightmare looked back at his crew who were all a leaning at the railing showing varying expression of surprise.

"Mhmm.."

"Yeah totally."

"Yessir!"

Sin gave them all a look of exasperation. He did not believe that one bit, but if he wanted answers the best way to get them is to ask himself.

"What do you want?" Sin bluntly asked as his bone-brows furrowed. 

If it was possible, the crew looked even more surprised by his voice. To them, Sin's voice sounded smooth and unnaturally deep. Hell, even Sin was surprised by his own voice! 

'It didn't sound like this two seconds ago?' Sin thought to himself before shrugging, 'I'll deal with this later... for now, let's deal with this Universe's Gang.' 

"I don't think we properly introduced ourselves." Not-Nightmare started before motioning to each member of his crew while introducing them, "This is Atrocity, Rubout, and Slayer. Currently our other member is inside but you'll met him in due time~"

If Sin could roll his eyes without the possibility of it backfiring on him, he would. This world's Nightmare seemed a lot more free-er and spoke in a more relaxed tone. He still had the air of a leader around him, but his eyes showed how happy he was. It was a welcome change for Sin.

"And you?" Sin questioned making the captain chuckle,

"The names Thorn. And you my Enchanting Siren?" Thorn gave him a sly smile as Sin scoffed.

"My name is Sin not... whatever you said." Sin sneered right in front of his face, still a bit cautious about the skeleton in front of him.

He was right to be, since not a few moments later, Thorn grabbed Sin by the chin and looked deep into his eyes. 

"I think I'll keep you, my beautiful Sin~" Thorn smiled genuinely and if Sin saw correctly, had a small cyan blush on his face. 

The teens behind Sin finally got the backbone to speak and immediately started arguing, "You can't! We have to go home!"

"Slayer, shut the brats up."

"Gladly~!"

"Eep!"

Today was Sin and his son's second day here and he's already exhausted. Same could be said for Null who quickly got bored of the pirates after realizing they weren't like the ones he heard the other kids say they were. 

Currently both him and Void were playing a poorly synchronized game of rock, paper, scissors with Rubout who was completely focused on the two kids.

"As much as I would love to continue this wonderful conversation," Sin sarcastically said while removing himself from the soft hold on his chin, "I would like to get my kids home by nightfall. Maybe we'll see each other passing by..."
