krystalkatzficz“Do you celebrate birthdays?” Nino asked knowing that it was probably one of the weirdest questions that he could have started with but his brain was whirling with so many that they were all jumbled together in his head. Jun gave a nod and a smile his song reaching out and caressing him in a reassuring way and making him feel like he wasn’t such a fool.
“…Yes…Though…It is a little different for us…” The siren answered and Nino let out a breath fully relaxing against him and linked their fingers together watching the way the scales formed on his skin shining against the light.
“How so…?” He asked and Jun hummed thoughtfully before answering,
“We celebrate only once every six months…Everyone that has had a birthday within those months has a big party where we’re given gifts…Food mostly though we do get given shells and gems for decorations…”
“Food…Do you eat fish?” Nino asked and Jun nodded again giving a small laugh that vibrated through his back.
“Yes...You eat cow, pigs and sheep it’s the same thing…Though there are something’s we don’t eat like dolphins and whales, as they are like our pets…A bit like cats and dogs…” He answered and Nino blinked slowly a few times thinking that that sounded so cute and he closed his eyes trying to imagine Jun swimming alongside a dolphin
“So you had a dolphin as a pet?” He asked with some traces of excitement in his voice surprised when the siren stiffened falling silent for a long time until he slowly answered sound sheepish his voice barely audible in the pool.
“…Not me no…I’m not really an animal person…I like them but they don’t like me so we tend to keep our distance…Or at least I do…But they chase me if they see me…”
“You were chased down by a dolphin?” Nino asked trying and failing to keep the amusement from his voice and Jun used his free hand to jab him hard in the ribs under the water and Nino really let out a giggle when the siren pressed his face into his neck and pouted as he said
“Their noses can hurt…”
“…They look pretty sweet…” Nino said wiping his eyes as tears of laughter rolled down his cheeks.
“They have wicked personalities…My sister had one and it would chase me everywhere nudging into my back…” Jun muttered still pouting and Nino laughed loudly again before calming down when he realised that he had heard a new piece of information.
“You have a sister?” He asked turning around, his legs wrapping around Jun’s waist now poking half out of the water. Jun gave a nod chewing on his bottom lip a small smile creeping its way onto his face.
“…Yes…She’s a few years younger than I am…”
“…Do you miss her?” Nino asked a stab of guilt hitting him between the ribs when he realised that he taken away another piece of Jun’s family by not joining them. Even though Jun had really taken away that choice before they had even gotten together.
“I didn’t really know her…Like I said she’s a few years younger than me and I spent most of my time preparing for you…For this…” Jun said with another almost disinterested shrug and Nino had to wonder at the almost cold attitude, if they lived all together as a big family hen wouldn’t it make sense that they would be close? He had missed Satoshi so much it was like a piece of him had been missing when he had been abroad, even though his brother had been the one to send him away and told him that he was dead to him because of his perverse nature. “Kazunari…Don’t misunderstand…I’ve known since I was a young boy that you were going to be my family and that the chances of meeting my mothers or my sister again were slim…I had prepared for it for a long time…I think about them but I can still hear their songs on the water…”
“You can?” Nino whispered in surprise, as far as he knew Jun hadn’t been near the ocean since they had come here, how was it possible that he could hear their songs?
“Yes…This pool is fed by the ocean by a channel which would also serve as our escape route should people find out about us…” Jun explained softly and Nino was amazed at the sheer scale of the project that his siren had done for them, him “So if I concentrate I can pick out their songs and before you even think of it I don’t feel lonely…I just listen to make sure that they are all still there just as they can pick out mine, yours and our kits…”
“…Can you really never see them again?” Nino asked knowing that, no matter how much he may deny it, Jun did miss his parents and the rest. Jun looked troubled again now and Nino knew that there was something that he didn’t want to say but was being forced to answer because of their connection. The scales on his face around his eyes seemed to be almost glowing when he answered
“…No…You are my family, my shoal and my matriarch…Meeting with them…It would be hard…I have no connection to them...”
“If you’re listening to their voices on the ocean you still have some connection to them…” Nino said shortly knowing that it was hard for his lover but wanting to understand why they couldn’t just met up every now and then to see each other. Jun’s song became almost disturbingly high pitched and his features were almost completely covered over by his scales. His eyes darted away from Nino’s and reluctantly he sighed.
“…Kazu…Please…You are right, it is a lingering attachment that will fade when our kits are completely born. They and I said our goodbyes when I met you… If I were to meet my mothers again now…They would attack me and I would attack them…” He said and Nino knew why his siren was so upset, to even think about harming your parents was horrible but to sound so certain that he would must mean that it was a siren thing, like when two shoals of the same fish came into contact they would fight over the food. He understood in his mind but his heart made him cry out,
“What? Why?”
“…Not through their choice but instinct…My mother is a matriarch as are you…You wouldn’t have the same instinct that I do but you would feel threatened…I would attack without thinking…” Jun answered miserably and Nino hugged his lover tightly his fingers moving over the hard scales that had completely covered Jun as he whispered.
“You managed to control it with Satoshi and Rosa…”
“…Satoshi is your brother…His song is the same as yours so my instinct is not as strong…Rosa is not a matriarch…I wanted to attack her when you touched her though and if she ever came down here I would attack and kill her…” Jun told him his voice dispassionate and still and Nino could understand the feelings behind it more than he wanted to. He might not have all the instinct that Jun had regarding their safety but he would work just as hard to protect the songs of their kits. Jun was looking completely miserable and Nino decided that he should change his questions quickly.
“…Do you normally find your mates as young as you do?”
“No…Mostly we wait until puberty but like I said before we were rare…We had to be compatible…So when I found you and you heard my song I knew that I had to claim you…” Jun answered sounding happier now and Nino gave a grin asking teasingly,
“What if I had rejected you?”
“…You wouldn’t…” Jun almost hissed holding him tightly his song going into over drive as his scales flashed a dark purple “You like pretty things and I’m pretty aren’t I?”
“…The prettiest…” Nino agreed with a gasp and Jun smirked some of the scales receding around his eyes and mouth as he brought him in for a kiss. It was brief just the barest touching of lips against lips but it was enough to make up Nino’s mind when his lover asked.
“…So…How about you asked the other million questions that you have…”
“None…Just…Take me to bed…”
“Your wish is my command, my matriarch…”
