Castle Swimmer (Kappa x Siren)

3

     Kappa's Pov:

Vien looks around her and her gaze lands on me, she gives me a sad look, what for I don't know. 

"What was the latest event that happened?" She darts her eyes to Siren.

"Uhm, well, we found the beacon for one. It's been 5 days since Kappa's been locked up in there." Vien looks back at me when Siren mentions me. She looks lost in thought, putting her hand to her chin and focusing on a rock while spacing out. 

"I'm not sure if I should tell you this, but... in my universe, the webtoon is much farther ahead in your life. I think I know your futures..." She looks at me with sadness in her eyes.

"Does something bad happen?" I dare to ask.

She just shakes her head, "Oh boy, more than one, definitely. But I don't think I should tell you guys yet, I'll just wait a bit till I can think clearly."

An awkward silence falls between us, I look in Siren's direction, but he's too occupied trying to seem busy looking at a piece of seaweed that floated to his tail. I turn my head towards Vien, she seems to be troubled by something, her hand finds her head and she squeezes her eyes shut. She doesn't look so good, is she going to faint again just to avoid this awkwardness?

"Hey, are you okay? You don't look so well." I poke her through the bars.

She jumps and turns around. I just noticed her weird clothes. A black cloth covers her upper half, it has some sort of a picture in the middle that says 'Black is the new white'. Yet another reason why she feels so different. 

"Uhm, y-yea. I'm fine. Hahah, I was just thinking about what questions to ask. So I think I have one."

Siren looks up, glad to finally finish up this awkwardness. 

She swims up to Siren, who tries hard to not swim away from her, and then whispers something in his ear. Immediately after she finishes, he blushes to a color I didn't think was even possible for his skin. 

"NO! I DON'T!" He shouts. Vien clutches her stomach while laughing her head off. 

I look at them in question, feeling a bit left out. Siren blushes even more, don't even know how that is possible, and looks away from me. I think I can see the water around him start to boil? How-

"Don't lie! I agree with Silver, you two make an amazing coup- Oops, spoilers of your future."

I blush along with Siren this time. Why does this girl want us to be together so much?

She lets out a chuckle, but puts on a sad smile. Something must be wrong, or else why does she seem...sad?

Siren's Pov:

Vien is seriously out of control. Who goes on and on about how much they want two people to be together?! I barely manage to pull through after her last question... What did she mean that Silver also agreed with her? How does she even know Silv- oh yea, right. The 'webtoon'.

"I would like to know more about this universe. For one, how old are you guys? Where did you guys get your clothes from? How do you have 'scrolls' under the water? Where did you get the wood for the paper? How are they not wet? Why are you two so adora- AHEM I mean awesome? What are some funny prophecies you had to fulfill, Kappa? What do you do when you are bored, Siren? Do the little fishies have names? And lastly, WHAT ARE WIGGLE BOYS?!"

So many questions at once... 

"I'm 19." I start.

Kappa has a weird expression on his face. Is he younger than me?

"I'm uh, 19 as well." She gives him a (=_=) look, definitely doesn't believe him. 

"By my calculations, you should be about 20 if not more." His cheeks turn red, cute. He gives an awkward laugh.

"Ahaha, yea, I'm 20." He reluctantly admits. 

"You're older than me? But you're such a kid!" I exclaim.

It's his turn to turn into a tomato. He scratches his chin and says, "That's just how I act, haha."

Again, cute.

Wait, what?! Cute? (=_=)

I mean funny.

"Well, what about the other questions?" Vien asks. 

"The clothes are made from sea plants, same thing with the papers. I guess thanks for calling me awesome? I usually just wander around or read or paint or something. Though I barely have any free time." I answer the questions that were asked to me. 

"Yea, thanks for calling us awesome, though I'm hoping you meant individually and not, ahem, as a 'couple'. There are quite a few 'funny' prophecies, but they really didn't seem so funny while I had to do them. I had to eat a snake carcass! It seems funny now, but I felt like barfing back then." Kappa shivers at the thought. "I just call them fish, as for the wiggle boys, they are just weird looking sea plants."

Vien grins. "In the universe I'm from, you two are known as Kiren."

Kappa...

Siren...

Kiren...

...

This girl is going to be the death of me. 

"STAHP!" I yell. Kappa actually laughs. HE LAUGHS?! 

"I don't know why you enjoy fantasizing us being together, but the expressions that Siren give are cu- funny." I see a blush forming on his cheeks. Was he about to call me...

Aaaand I'm boiling the water around me again.

"How about a tour around the castle? Oh wait, we should talk about how to get me around without making any commotion... Any ideas?"

"We could hide you?" I suggest.

"I mean, wouldn't it be better if you just, tell the truth?" Kappa says.

"I honestly agree with telling the truth. Hiding me would be a temporary solution, but I won't have a place to stay at until I'm back to my universe." Whatever satisfies her I guess. 

"Okay then. We should get going..." 

"Oh wait! I have to do one more thing! Can I feel your scales? I just really want to know what its like." Obediently, I let her hold the skin on my arm, she gasps. I laugh, she's the second person to act surprised to my rough skin. 

She touches Kappa's arm and... squeals? 

"Oh my god!! YOU'RE. SO. FREAKING. SOFT!"

"I knew it! It's not just that my skin is rough! His IS soft!" Kappa blushes and we all laugh.

The both of us say our good byes and head out of the cave. This is going to be difficult.

     VIen's Pov:

We swim to the end of the dungeon. My mind spins with all these thoughts. I have a purple tail, I don't know any sea creature that is purple. Maybe a starfish? I heard of a purple starfish. The biggest thoughts in my head are of what happened a while ago. I hid it from Kappa and Siren. 

I somehow remembered episode 39 of Castle Swimmer. Even though I read only up to episode 38. Episode 39 was supposed to update today, but, how did I remember something I didn't read?
