Leviathantale MerMay 2021 - Day 16: Bubbles

(Afterdeathberry Fluff)

There are many things that Reaper loves about Geno. He loves Geno’s grace in the water. He loves Geno’s strength in his bearing and his teeth. He loves Geno’s gentleness towards their child. If Reaper continued, he’d spend an eternity listing everything since more would simply pile up at every sunrise.

But one of the smaller things he adores about his mate is the way he leaves behind a trail of bubbles whenever he dives deep underwater to swim with Reaper. Since he doesn’t require air to swim underwater, he’s never made bubbles himself. And any land-breathing creatures who dared come close enough to him underwater usually ended up eaten.

Geno, of course, is a special exception. He always is.

Until now.

More energetic and flashy than Reaper’s mate, Blue playfully flits around Reaper. The orca mer indulges Blue’s playful pokes. Sometimes, he even tries to respond in kind, only to miss the smaller selkie every time. Blue dodges him without fail, leaving trails of bubbles behind him as he swam circles around the huge mer. He even encourages Geno to join him in his games.

Out of breath, Reaper lets out a wheezing laugh. “Two cute seals against one? How is that fair?”

“Tired, love?” Geno taunts with a challenging gleam in his eyelight. “I thought the apex predator of the sea has more to offer than this.”

“Chase us, Reaper, chase us!” Blue trills.

Geno’s taunt and Blue’s demand light up something in Reaper. He smiles wide enough to reveal his teeth. Both selkies shiver with anticipation. “Oh? Is that what you want? A hunt? As you wish.”

Within a blink, both selkies are off. Twin trails of bubbles stretch out in front of Reaper. With a grin, he goes to chase his quarry.
