Water And Land

You found yourself back at your closet digging through all of the clothes you have until you realise you field pants would work great for tonight.
"Good god Abe you'd think if they want us in a hurry they wouldn't make these field clothes so tight!"
"Oh i know (y/n). One time about four years ago there was a class 4-85 and i could barely get my suit on coming straight out of my tank.  I almost slipped out of the feild clothes themselves because i wasnt zipped in all the way."
"I would of died of embarrassment."
"I practically did.  Liz saw and will always use it as an opportunity to bring up that i am not as much of a perfectionist as I could hope to be."
"Abe this is so weird...but i need your help.  I cant zipper up the back of my suit I need your expertise."
"Of course."

I walked into (y/n) 's room half expecting to see her waiting by the door patiently turned around to zip her up.  That's how it works in the movies any way.  But now she was sitting in her bed pulling her thigh high boots up her legs. Her top of her field suit loosely hung from her shoulders exposing her collar bones and neck.  She gracefully would lift her leg up and slide her leg back into the shoe.  And for some strange reason it was the most beautiful thin i had ever seen. It wasn't because she almost exposed her chest or was getting dressed.  But because in that moment I knew she was fully comfortable around me and trusted me.  And it wasnt a work trusted me.  Like Abe you're a smart guy i trust what you say; or Abe you're a great shot I know you have my back when things go down.  This was a I trust sleeping in the same room as you. I trust that you won't take advantage of me and help me cover myself. That was the best feeling in the world to know that ive now had something that all humans get to experience that i rarely do.

"Um (y/n) your top."
"Oh yea sorry here."
She stood and gracefully pivited infront of me.  I could smell her hair as she spun around.  It smelled like the library but it also smelled like the garden.  The smell of fresh flowers and old books. It was a light and calming smell. Kind of how she is with me. Smell really dose reflect how people are truly.  And hers couldnt be anymore accurate.  I gently readh down to the small of her back placing my hand on the zipper and my other hand on her shoulder to keep her steady as i pulled the tight leather suit shut.  She sighed when the zipper reached the top and turned around.
"Thanks fish stick. I owe you one."
"Any time (y/n)"
That breif moment i had touching her all of her thoughts raced through my mind.  The one that startled me the most was the fact that she didn't want me to let go of her.  She liked when I touched her,she felt comfortable and safe around me.  And she was also sure of the fact i would read everything.  But was also sure I was a gentlemen and ignored it like normal.  But i couldn't ignore it like normal I've never had someone think that about me ever.
"You ready Abe?"
"I think i am. Are we really going to check out this club?"
"Yup.  And if its too much well go home.  But i think if we walk in ignore the weird people stay off the dance floor and stick to a table or booth.  We will have a pretty interesting night."
"Sounds like it."
"Also maybe mentally prepare to see a lot of naked people? I dont know how these clubs work."
"Well we'll find out now won't we.."
"Yup.  Well take this as a learning experiment. How to get Abe out without causing hoopla."
"Ah so research.  I can handle research."
"See we've got this."
"I just have one request."
"Alright go for it my aquatic amigo."
"I get to drive."
"You drive?"
"Quite well actually. I just rarely get to. "
"Alright. Ill take your word for it.  You can drive.  But the question is what will you drive?"
"A car...what else?"
"Well do we even have normal looking cars? We dont want to draw attention to ourselves now do we?"

Well long story short the only low key car we got was a Mercedes. So now I'm sitting passenger in a black tinted window Mercedes with fish stick driving. To be honest he was a great driver.  He would only go the speed limit and would quietly curse to himself if he went 2 or 3 miles over.  It was cute how his vursing wasnt really curaing he would just sweat to a few scientists like Tesla.  He really was just a normal guy he needed some time out to be a normal guy.
"I appreciate that you think im a normal guy. I don't get to hear that to often."
"Well you kind of are. I mean low key I'm so jealous you can breath underwater and that you can read minds but besides that you really are just your average guy living his life. Nit that youre average at all.  I think you're quite spectacular.  But its not because you're different.  Well you are different but in a good way diffrent. Like no one thinks like you and acts like which makes me like you even more. Ugh ill stop now haha."
"I understood what you meant (y/n) i appreciate it. Theres also the whole blue and scales thing that makes me different haha."
" I think blue is so beautiful.  It reminds me of the sea. Ive always been drawn to the ocean.  I dont know what it is but it just holds this power over me."
"Its because its full of un discovered waters and creatures.  That curiosity is going to kill you one day dear haha."
"I cant help it.  Its what i do.  Learn about everything and everything."
Her mind was far from thinking about research and work.  She was staring at my eyes.  She likes the golden tint they have and how they reflect in the light.  The color reminds her of the sunflowers in the field her grandmother lived across the road from.  She thinks that the navy markings on my body are cool they remind her of the markings of galsoren a dnd charecter she used to play in college.  A Blue dark elf. She's always making connections to everything around her.  Its almost inspiring to see that when shes faced with simething unknown she tries to make a little connection of herself to it to make it seem a little less new and easier to accommodate too.  She was looming at my hands. Fist she wondered if my hands were cold like the one time we grazed hands on accident inthe library room.  Then it wondered to what it would feel like to hold hands with me or if it would be ok to ask. I didn't realise she was so fond of me. Then that's when j heard something. 
"I think I'm in love with him."
It was so clear in her mind it was like neon lights in my brain blinking chaoticly.  I didnt even realise what I was doing I pulled the car over. I could see her face flush a multitude of pinks and roses.  They were fiery colors  opposite of my own.

"Let me guess-"
"I read it"
"So you heard it all"
"All of it."
"And?"
"And what?"
"How do you feel?"
"What am i supposed to say? Im so confused. No one likes me.  I mean I would like to indulge in having something with someone. I just wouldnt know how to go about in doing so."
"Would you let me indulge in showing you how?"
"I guess it wouldn't cause any harm."

She reached over ever so lightly and placed her warm hand on the side of my face and leaned in so close to me I could feel her hot breath trickle down my neck and dance over my gills teasing them ever so slightly. Her lips met mine in the softest kiss imaginable. I could feel my hands travel to the sides of her torso. She didnt move away in turn leaned over the stearing wheel so our chests were now touching and her hands moved to the back of my head.  I didnt mean to it happened naturally but I deepened the kiss and heard the most faint of moans escape her lips.  Of all the sounds Ive heard in my time here that sound was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. She had given herself to me and I plan to do the same for her. Ive always had that pit feeling in my stomach; butterflies fluttering around making a muck of my perfectly structured life. Just like her punk music.  She was wild, colorful; but most of all she was always willing to fight for what was truly right.  That was the most attractive quality I could see in any living creature.  That pure moment that began so abruptly ended the same as well.  Our lips parted but our bodies stayed as is. Her big doe like eyes  stared deep into mine as if saying she was almost disappointed that we had stopped.  Although I feared if we had gone any more other natural things would have occurred; and im a man of dignity and would like to confess my love and loyalty before physically pronouncing such things to a partner. 

"So. i would like to tell you something.  I feel it not fair that I can read everything you're feeling but you haven't the slightest idea on how I feel."
"Oh no.  I hope I didn't mess up."
"Not at all."
I took her hand in mine and placed it lightly on my lap and gave her the smallest little squeeze to reassure her
"Since I've meet you you have turned my world inside out. I cant think clearly i hear your voice the clearest in my mind. Youve shaken up my way of living and changed my structure completely.  Im normally level headed and rarely ponder on anything else besides my work.  But now I think about the smell of your hair how soft your skin is and how lovely you looked sitting on your bed trying to put your shoes on. my mind has been focused on nothing but you."
"Abe-"
"Please let me finish dear I dont know if ill find the courage to say this if I dont say this now. But (y/n) I've grown to like you quite a lot.  More than friendship and dare I say love you."
I've said it.  I've never said those words before. Not even to pops. He would be proud of me for actually discussing my feelings rather than trying to use logic to unconvince myself from feeling. I look over at (y/n) who gently wraps her fingers around my own.   Her eyes glistened in the dimly light street lights and stars.  Its like I could see the whole universe in those (eye color) eyes.  Her perfect lips curved to show her milky white teeth and her face showed those warm tones again.
"Abe I- I like you too. And dare I say I love you as well."
"What happens from here?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are we confessing our love for one another?"
"I believe we are.  Well at least I know i am."
"Well i am as well."
"Then typically people try dating."
"Dating? I'm not familiar "
"Um courting. Except its not as strict any more."
"Oh yes. I know what courting is.  So we probably have to find a chaperone. How improper of me im terribly sorry."
"Abe no one uses chaperones anymore.  Its the same thing as courting except no chaperones and its ok to ..um...mess around."
I could tell by how scarlet her face was turning what she meant by mess around really means.  I couldnt help but feel myself flush.
" so you really do blush!"
I instinctively bring my hands to my face.
"Its cute you don't have to cover up haha."
She brought her hands to mine and lowered them to kiss my forehead.
"You know blue is my favorite color."
"I'm honestly so flustered right now my goodness."
She chuckled and that was music to my ears. Only making me want to kiss her once again. So I figured if she was bold enough I could be too.  I leaned over placing my hand under her chin and tilting her head up to mine and kissing her. Her hands slithered up onto my chest and rested on my collar bones.  She always smells like books and flowers which in some weird way captivates me. It smells comforting like I could fall asleep to the comfort it brings me
"I feel sleepy "
"Would you like to go home then?"
"I wouldn't want to ruin your fun."
"Believe me it wouldn't break my heart if we went home instead.  May I suggest we can curl up and read a book."
"I actually have a bit more of a bolder suggestion.  How do you like swimming?"
"I don't mind swimming why?"
