Gather the remaining documments half scattered around the room you get ready to move on forward. you've been brought down here for three days with limited supplies to collect as much as possible. as the door slides open your greeted with soft rummaging noises and little 'pleeps' of noice. your eyes widen at the sight. not used to the bundles of pure joy crawling around. theres about six of them, fluffy little balls of cuteness. you step forward, alittle curious as they all seem to pause and stare at you, one of them makes another 'bloup' noise. and in that moment you fell to your knees. like deadpool accepting dogpool into your arms; you held ours out, greetingly- three of them accepted happily, bundling into your arms as they made odd purring noises. you were in literal sea heaven.
you stayed with the bundle, as the other three crowd around making curious noises as the brushed themselves against you. you felt fuzzy, the world felt so peaceful- as if you werent thousand of meters below ground stuck in an abandoned facility filled with pure horrors. more moments went by of blank bliss before a cough inturupted your haven. the sea bunnies seemed startled at the voice, forcing themselves off of you ans hiding into draws and cuboards.
"Am I intrupting something?" you frown. turning to face the 10'6 creature, his tail hanging out of a vent as he dangled his face beside yours. he looked alittle irritated, but played it off with a smirk as his eyes examined at where some of the bunnies were very visably hidden. "heh, cute things- arent they? they taste good to" he comments, sliding out fully of the vent and landing beside you, his tail curling near you.
"seb!" you hit his tail alittle, frowning even more at the comment he made, he didnt flinch, only chuckling even more at your comment. "calm down, im only joking.." you both stare at eachother, his shit eating grin showing that he wasn't entirely lying.
"what do you want anyways?" you finally huff up, watching as he glares around the room once more, seemingly troubled. "usually you dont leave your shop unless its to rob me." you add, crossing your arms as you stand up. he raises a brow, finding your challenging stance amusing. "didn't know i was bound to my shop" he speaks, his eyes finally meeting yours once again. "and furthermore, I wanted to see you" his tone drops alittle, his tail slowly slinking its way to your leg, more thudding your upper calf. you furrow your brow, examining the mans tail before eyeing him up again, in a heartbeat his tail trips you up and he sweeps you up, holding you against his chest. "there." he smiles casually, clearly enjoying the shocked facial expression stuck to your face as you stutter out, he ignores you- carrying you back to his shop.
"now your the bunny." he hums, as if to mock you for how you held the bunnies earlier. you were flustured and quite clearly pissed off, you tried to push away from him but that only made him hold you tighter. In the power of weakness of being held by the fish, all your cards used, something in your brain ticks as you choke up a "you sound kinda jealous"
there was silence for a moment, he was clearly trying to process your words, you tried to play of this smugness but apart of you was wondering if he was going to kill you. "jealous?" he finally splurts out, dropping you as he slithers away from you. you fall to the floor with a little thud and a groan. "me? jealous? no- nonono-" he grumbles, though he seemed more talking to himself. he runs a hand through his hair. "why would I be jealous of some dumb sea bunnies?"
bingo.
you look up from the floor, grinning. your nose was slightly bleeding but that wasnt important; you found sebastians weakness. "thats what a jealous person would say"
"is not." he frowns, though as he examins you, noticing the blood- like an instinct he picks you back up with his tail, setting you on the table as he took a medkit out, wiping your nose silently, though clearly concentrating.
"its okay to be jealous-"
"im not" he speaks again, getting even more irritated. this was becoming more and more amusing to you and less and less amusing to him. A win.
after more back n forth comments as he cleans and plasters your nose he finally groans. "fuckin- fine. yeah, maybe. but cmon- we've been friends with weeks and those little bastards won your heart in a godamn heartbeat!" he frowns, crossing his arms defeatingly. you just stare up at your taller friend before shaking your head.
"seb" you start, hopping of the table and hugging him. "you might not be the fluffiest sea creature, but your the cutest" you hum happily, hes startled alittle at the hug, even grumbling alittle as if to protest, but he hugs you in return. "damn right I am..."
theres more silence as you stay like this for a moment longer, finally pulling away to stare up at the man who immedatly looks away, crossing his arms once again.
"oh my god." you speak, grinning massively. "your a tsundere" you comment, smirkin up as you stare at the fish.
"what the fuck is that-"
