My various short stories, thoughts and headcannons about Love and Deepspace.
I publish them first in my tumblr blog ( link in bio), then with some delay here as well.
This was my submission for the Fanart Contest 2025 to Rafayel's Birthday.
It's the continuation to his related Card "Boundless Seas"

Rafayels birthday went smoothly and like you and Talia had planned. From the visit to her opera performance to the small gathering at the beach with his friends and family to the little trip with a speed boat right to the middle of the ocean. Just perfect!
And as you hoped for, your beloved Lemurian boyfriend invites you into the sea to his world when you showed him yours last time on this special day. And you couldn't be more relieved that no mishaps happened like the previous year.
After whale chasing, magical moments under the sea, and passionate kisses along the way, Rafayel shared some of his childhood memories with you. The precious mementos you yearn for to understand him better and to feel closer to him. You're eager to learn everything about him as you love him more than words can ever express. Who would have thought that a year ago you would fall so hard for this man who first looked like a bratty, silly boy seeking attention at every second? But is he actually the most kindhearted and sensitive man with a depth you need your whole lifetime to explore to the fullest? This is in addition to his otherworldly traits as a Lemurian, which you adore as much. He rarely shares such intimate moments with you, leaving him so vulnerable that you are grateful for every single one without ever prying them out of him. He'll indulge you when he's ready, and you are there when this happens, patiently waiting for this hermit crab to come out of its conch.
Rafayel ends his story of how he tried to recreate this special shade of pink, which somehow never had the result he intended until you appeared and colored his life in the most unexpected ways. Like the pink that surrounds you between the ocean currents, shining from above to illuminate the underwater space around you.
"A girl entered my world, and we created an ocean of pink. Together," he says as he lets go of the hand that he kissed just now and closes the gap between your faces to reunite with you once more. Leaning into his forehead you drown in his big blue and pink eyes, mesmerized and so in love for him. "I love you, Rafayel." a whispered phrase that doesn't capture what he means to you. These words are nothing compared to how Lemurians express their emotions, but they are the strongest terms you, as a human, have. "You're everything to me and every minute without you feels shallow." you continue to lay your heart bare in front of him. But these words are enough for your beloved to understand, getting the sincerity behind them as he shows it to you right away. Still nuzzled together he smiles fondly and says this one word in his mother tongue you barely can pronounce, but you know the romantic meaning behind it — You're mine — and he's right. You're his completely, from head to toe and from brain to soul. You devoted your whole being to him.
Then Rafayels lips are soft on yours, dancing along like waves at the shore, narrowing in and opening up only to close again. A gentle yet passionate rhythm you can't resist, too tempting is the plush feeling of his lips. His hands are around you, cradling you against his toned body. One at your back securing you from floating away from him and the other around your leg, holding your thigh close to his waist to keep you connected in an all-familiar hold. An embrace that fuels your need and desire for your Lemurian Lover.
