Brendon's POV
❀ • ❀ • ❀ • ❀ • ❀

Dallon and I sat against the rocks for a while, my head now resting against his chest as we made small talk.

My tail was long enough for my fins to be touching the water, every time the waves would roll up, they would roll over my fins before sinking back out.

I look down at Dallon's legs, humming a little to myself as I look over his body that was so much more different than mine. Then my eyes go down to his feet that were bandaged up, and that's when I realized he wouldn't be able to come swim with me for a little bit. At least a week, is what Josh said.

I suddenly had a thought, and a subconscious pout came over my face as I thought about something.

I then look back to Dallon's legs, reaching out and touching them gently, something Dallon doesn't even question. He just lets it happen.

I let my fingers run over his skin, and he still doesn't question my movements. I look up at him to see that he's looking down at me with a fond smile, and I giggle a little as I continue to look up at him.

He leans down and kisses my forehead, both of us staying quiet now, but it's a nice type of quiet. A comfortable one that we were both okay with.

I take my hand away from his legs, and I look at my hand, seeing the webs in between them and my slightly sharper nails, unlike Dallon's. I then look at the ring that's on my finger and I smile, thinking about when he gave it to me.

I hum to myself before sitting up a bit, Dallon taking notice to this and he tilts his head a little, giving me a slightly confused look. He raises one of his eyebrows, making me giggle and shove him a little gently.

"Da-Dally stop it.." I mumble, still giggling a bit, and he leans over and kisses my cheek gently.

"What's on your mind, baby?" He asks, and I take a deep breath before turning a bit more to face him, Dallon still giving me a confused look as he watches me.

"W-Well.. I have so-something I wa-wanna show yo-you.." I say, and he nods a little, and I take that as my encouragement to continue.

I lean down, and I pull my tail up a little, untying a string from the base of my fins, where my scales still were. It's not noticeable since it mostly blends into my scales, so I don't think he ever noticed it.

I pull the little string that has a little red crystal type rock on it, and I show it to him, him taking a moment to look at it. The string was a tan color, so the gem on it really popped. I always kept it around my tail since I had never used it before.

"It's pretty, Bren," I hear Dallon say, and I smile a little, giggling softly as I pull it closer to my body.

"We-Well.. I can use i-it and uh.. h-have l-legs.. I just.. never h-have. I was sc-scared since I've only ever h-heard bad things a-about humans.. i d-didn't think I wo-would be s-safe, so I ju-just never tried. But s-since your feet are h-hurt, and my tail is so-sore.. I could use i-it and get l-legs.." I say, trying to explain it to him the best I could.

"And I c-could come st-stay with y-you.." I add, and I see that his eyes are slightly wide as he takes in everything I had just said to him.

"So, you.. could basically become a h-human?" He asks, and I nod a little gently, looking down at the necklace in my hand.

"If I p-put it on, around m-my neck I could go in-into the water, and kinda t-trans..transf-form, I guess," I reply, and I kind of stumble over the word transform, but he seems to understand what I'm saying.

"Bren.. that's up to you, baby. It's your body so you can do what you want to do. I would love to have you come stay with me, but it's your decision, okay? I don't want to pressure you into anything okay? And you could also come back to the ocean whenever you wanted," Dallon says, and I smile, he was so sweet to me.
