The next morning, Eunhyuk awoke and stretched out in his bed. He thought about the night before as he got up and walked into the bathroom. Looking at the bathtub, he saw the merman still sleeping soundly. Smiling, he reached to touch the water before watching Donghae open his eyes, shoot up straight, and grab his wrist as he bared his teeth at him. “Whoa, whoa, calm down,” Eunhyuk said quietly as he held up his hands defensively.
Donghae panted slowly. “Don’t touch me hurtfully,” he requested, releasing Eunhyuk’s wrist.
“I won’t, I was just going to feel the water and see if you’d like me to refill the tub with some warmer water,” Eunhyuk replied as he ran a hand through the lukewarm liquid.
“I’m comfortable,” Donghae muttered as his tail slowly moved around.
“So what’s your name? I’m Eunhyuk,” the blonde wondered.
“My name is Donghae,” the merman stated.
“Donghae, that’s a nice name,” Eunhyuk replied.
“Thank you,” Donghae murmured.
“I like your tail, it’s very beautiful,” Eunhyuk said as he gazed at the sparkling sapphire scales on Donghae’s lower body.
“Thanks, I love my tail, I’d be nothing without it,” the brunette responded as he touched his tail gently.
“Are you hungry? I can make you something to eat if you’d like,” Eunhyuk offered as he stood up.
“Fish, fish,” Donghae said as he bounced up and down.
“Oh, I’m sorry; I don’t have any fish, what else do you like?” Eunhyuk questioned.
“Just fish,” Donghae replied.
“I can bring you up some things to try if you like,” Eunhyuk suggested.
“Okay,” Donghae agreed.
“Great, I’ll be right back,” Eunhyuk stated before heading into the kitchen to look inside his refrigerator and pantry. As he looked for food for his guest, Eunhyuk heard his cell phone ring. He answered “Hello?”
“Hey baby,” his boyfriend Heechul greeted happily.
“Hi Heechul,” Eunhyuk responded with a smile.
“So how are you this morning?” Heechul wondered.
“Pretty good, about to eat some breakfast,” Eunhyuk informed.
“Cool, so how was the freak show last night; was it as awesome as the advertisements said it’d be?” Heechul inquired.
“Yeah, it was great,” Eunhyuk agreed.
“Hey, to make up for missing out last night, how about I come over tonight and we can do dinner?” Heechul offered.
“Yeah, that’d be awesome; listen, could you do me a favor?” Eunhyuk requested.
“Sure,” Heechul said.
“Would you please bring some fish over?” Eunhyuk asked.
“Okay, I’ll bring some over, anything specific?” Heechul wondered.
“No surprise me,” Eunhyuk stated.
