6. What is love

Tenko had had massive problems sleeping last night. Well, mostly because he couldn't stop thinking about the kiss they had...what was it...French kiss.

He always rolled around in his nest. It did not help that it faintly smelled like him. Probably because he dragged all the materials to him.

His mind was just...Touya. and his tongue. How it caressed his lips a- STOP!!! God stop!He faced the wall as his hands were over his face again. His cheeks were a darker blue as the color shone through his grayish white skin.

Touya wasn't able to sleep either. Mostly because of the way Tenko swam off and didn't even talk to him or anything. He sighed. Knowing he did something wrong.. Although morning came around as he simply caught some fish and breakfast for Tenko.

The merman gave a sigh as he swam around his cave. He yawned the entire time as he tried to keep himself awake. He knew the Siren would come any moment..yes Touya would come any moment with breakfast. It made him smile to himself, how good this Siren took care of him.

He quickly shook his head after a moment. "No no no no! Stop that." He told himself as his body had already imagined his fins against him.

Touya swam into the cave as he placed the dead creatures down. Smiling as he looked at Tenko. "Good morning. Here's your breakfast. Lots of clown fish." He hummed and handed him some as he gently looked at him.

The Mer stared at his face before he looked down. "Thanks. You should eat some as well, I am sure you are hungry." He tool the fish and placed it against his lips for a second before he bit into it. He could barely face him in fear that if he did it even a second to long his mind would want to kiss him...he liked it. He wanted that kiss again.. but not if he will explode even thinking....fuck.

"I already ate! Thanks for your concern." He curled his tail and sat down next to the nest as he continued to hand him his fish. "Are you feeling okay? You worried me yesterday after we.. kissed."

"I...I am okay..m...trust me." He looked up to him and gave a small but weird looking smile. He immediately looked down again. Fuck...as soon as he spoke those words memories came back of them...in soft embraces...it felt so damn good.

He nodded. "Okay, well. We could go hunting practice today again! Maybe go sunbathe a little more and stargaze at night again! It was fun and we could explore more sunken ships." He giggled. Excited to spend the day with him again.

He turned his head away when he giggled. He now was so glad he had longer hair. In the water it totally hid his face. But damn...one wrong move and his face would be exposed. "Sure. Maybe a little less hunting though, I am not that hungry after such a great breakfast."

He gave a small smile as he nodded. Swimming out of the cave as he looked for the clear coast. Sighing as he floated and sunk down in the water a little bit. "Come on!!"

"Yes, yes. I am coming." He smiled as he tried to look past Touya. He swam next to him but not too close, Godmother forbid their fins touch. He would blow...up...fuck...already thinking about it. He simply looked away and acted as if he was looking at the coral reef.

He glanced at the other. Swimming towards the coral reef as their tails accidentally brushed against each other. He didn't actually mean it. Nor did he think it was a bad thing. He swam towards the animals by the reef as he smiled and greeted them.

Tenko bit on his inner lip as he swore he felt the tingle even more now...it felt so damn good..buy it made him...feel weird. Like he did not know the direction and...he could barely look at Touya without feeling...like his scales laid directly on the volcanic stone in his cave.

"Should we go and hunt for some treasure?" He questioned. Pointing in the direction of the new sunken ship.

"Yes, sure." He spoke after a moment. He needed a second to ground himself and try bot to lose his ability to think whenever the other smiled at him or touched him.
