♡ — Z’s middle finger swiped just underneath his lower lid, careful not to smudge the leftover liner he’d applied the day before. “ That makes more sense. You confused me for a second, ” he called back, watching the younger male carefully. At the second question, he couldn’t help but snort. “ No; no. I’m barely coordinated in normal shoes. Knowing me, I’d probably find a way to split the ice or something. You make it look easy, though. ”

“Well, I do a lot of swimming as well...it’s just like a weird thing I guess...I’m pretty good when it comes to anything to do with water...frozen or liquid,” Noah chuckled a little bit, balancing on one skate and twirling again. “But can I help you with anything?”

catalystforhire:

“Well, I’ll just call ice and tell them we can meet up some other time,” Atlas replied, sarcastic and casual. He stepped into the place with ease, gazing around at everything in sight with vague interest. Ice skating wasn’t a thing he ever quite learned. It’s not like Mumbai was particularly cold ― he thinks the most chilly it got was a solid sixty degrees. “Did you learn how to ice skate just to impress random passerbys?”

“Yeah, I definitely only learnt ice skating to impress people,” Noah laughed and shook his head “But I also learned it because it’s so much fun! It’s so different than swimming, and that’s what I was used to for my whole childhood!” Noah chuckled “And what are you doing here? Going to take ice skating lessons or something?”

“Isn’t… that the ice?” Aggie asked, pointing at the rink with a confused hand. The trick was cool, something he’d never be able to do, but at the moment he’d rather figure out what the guy meant before complimenting his trick.“I don’t really know how I’d… ‘miss it.’”

“I meant that I missed ice skating...I haven’t been able to practice in a long time,” Noah said quietly and shrugged, wondering where the confusion came from. He tilted his head “I wasn’t talking to you...”

♡ — “ Wait…what ?? ” the small male exclaimed, body halting mid-stride on its way into the center. Thick, long eyelashes fluttered as the male turned on his heel to get a full look of the person with whom he was about to pass. His hand rose to sift fingers through the soft curls on his head. Today, strands were tinted in pinks and aquamarines.

♡ — Z regarded the male for a moment longer before speaking again. “ As in there’s no more ice in the water dispenser or…?? ”

“Hmm? I was just talking about how much I missed ice skating,” Noah said softly and skated over to the person who was talking to him. “But there’s like never any ice left in the dispenser anyway,” Noah chuckled before skating and doing a double axel “Do you know how to skate?” He called out to the person.

Noah launched himself into the air and did a triple Salchow with ease. Ice skating had always been a talent of his, even though he was a mermaid. The indoor arena was also pleasantly cool.

“Sorry, Just missed the ice,” He said to a person he just noticed was coming into the sports center.

“Be glad that it hasn’t and that your pod remains untouched by such things.” He said it with this look in his eye of a man who’d seen a lot of that cruelty in his life. This wasn’t new for him - he had lived life for a while and it didn’t take the supernatural to do horrible deeds. “Oh, he was,” He laughed a little at the other’s comment about the evil man from history who was indeed a total shit bag “I’ll give that annoyingly adult answer and say you’ll have to wait and see.”

Even someone as oblivious as Noah knew that he shouldn’t press it much more. He seemed like something was on his mind. Instead, he decided to talk about his final more, because that was somewhat less controversial “Have to wait and see?” He frowned and bit his lip “I fail this, I think that Tristan will break up with me...” Noah sighed “I’m such an idiot...”

rileyxhale:

“That turned out well for the pod then, but imagine if that pod didn’t like the way your tails looked. You said it yourself, they were sort of weird…different. It’s the same for human history, one group thinking they are right over another. I’m not disagreeing that it’s not stupid because a lot of it is, but wouldn’t you fight for something you believe in? You’d fight for your boyfriend or your family.” He pointed out. “The Führer, I’m sure you’ve heard of the despicable excuse of a human being called Adolf Hitler and the I love Germany song. It’s a bad thing, yes.” He nodded and let out a small sigh, “Unfortunately it’s not just a uniquely human trait. All species have the good and the bad, and it’s the bad that you hear the loudest.”

“I can’t imagine us hurting someone just cause they were different though. But I guess it’s another land dweller thing that I don’t understand. There are a lot of those,” Noah admitted and then nodded “Yeah, I would protect them and fight if I had to but...I don’t know, it is just hard for me to imagine something like a war...it’s just not something that’s ever happened in our pod,” He bit his lip “Yeah, I’ve heard of him...he sounds like a total shit bag,” Noah frowned a bit and sighed “So because I drew my final, am I going to fail?”

Tristan returned the kiss with a giggle, “I love you too.”

Noah kissed him one more time and smirked “Hey, I’m gonna be thinking about you the rest of the day,”

rileyxhale:

Riley wondered and kind of knew the answer already if he was that naive as a teenager who thought the world around him wasn’t affected by what happened around him. Even the Merfolk who lived in their waters and kept to themselves lived among mortals and sometimes even went as far as marrying. “Maybe within your pod, no, but you are one pod among countless in the world. And the merfolk have a very unique perspective. You live in both worlds, your own under the sea and among humans. If you think you’re not affected, imagine if every morning you were meant to salute Die Führer and singing Ich liebe Deutschland.”

Noah nodded a little bit “I know that there are other pods, we’ve met one before. Their tails were sort of weird! But we didn’t fight with them, we just traded and had a lot of parties to celebrate our new meeting. My pop never likes me coming up on land, because he says humans are prone to killing people who are different from them, but my boyfriend is of land, and I think he’s very sweet,” Noah said with a small smile “What is dee fuerur and what is ish leebuh Doy-ch-land? Is that some kind of bad thing?” Noah said softly and looked over at his history teacher “Why do humans like hurting people?”

itstristanwells:

“If you say so..” Tristan offered a smile. “I’ll see you tonight then.”

Noah leaned in to kiss Trent softly, before pulling back and smiling a little bit “I love you”

itstristanwells:

Tristan frowned at how his boyfriend was acting, “Are you okay..?”

“Just have a lot on my mind, nothing to worry about,” Noah kissed his cheek.

rileyxhale:

“Everyone always goes to that solution,” His hands sort of throwing up in an ‘i give up’ sort of way. Though as a teenager he had thought the same thing of his own teachers and had even wondered if they bothered to read the papers that he and his classmates turned in. “I don’t know about the rest of the teachers, but I know I don’t roll that way in my class. I actually expect something to be taken away from the lessons. Even if it’s ‘I hate studying history’ at least there was an effort and I’d rather give credit for that.”

“Human history is so dreadfully dull, though. You guys are always fighting one another for the stupidest of reasons. There’s never any happiness in those books. Just one group of people trying to stop another for getting equality and that makes no sense to me. That’d never happen in my pod.” Noah said proudly and sat on a table “No offense, but human history is just a bummer, that’s why I don’t waste the time trying to learn it,”

itstristanwells:

“Awww,” Tristan stood up as well. “Want me to walk you to class?”

“You don’t have to, I’m sure you’re busy,” Noah mumbled again and tossed his lunch.

itstristanwells:

“Great,” Tristan grinned and kissed his cheek before diving back into his food.

Noah finished his drink and stood up “I guess I should get going, I have stupid civics to go to and try not to fall asleep in,”He grumbled.

rileyxhale:

He dropped a stack of papers onto the table that was enough to catch the attention of those closest to him. “I’m pretty sure this is some malicious payback plot from a super secret teacher organization that keeps photos of former students, even decades later, to make their lives hell.” He complained. “The students get to take off for summer vacation and lounge around the pool with a virgin margarita and me….” He sat down at the table, “I get to spend the next week grading finals.”

Noah jumped a bit when he heard the loud noise. Never being one to care much about academics, Noah shrugged “Why don’t you just make up the grades? Aren’t they sort of pointless, anyway?” Noah’s life was laid out for him, and he didn’t really understand the concept of college--hell he barely understood the concept of high school. “ ‘Sides, my final is just a bunch of pictures, but I think they tell a good story,” He remarked with a musical laugh.

itstristanwells:

“We’ll hang out at the party okay?”

“Yeah, sounds good, Tristan,” Noah said while sipping his algae shake.

debauxchery:

✧ — The way the merman spoke of his boyfriend was almost sickeningly sweet. Had the vampire not been so bored, he would’ve just left the boy to desiccate on the sidewalk long ago. Now, he was entertaining the idea of some superman who sounded more like a royal pain than anything else. Men like Tristan had no fire, no real passion. They were good boys, and the complimentary adjective mostly referred to how good they were at being colossal wastes of time. Life for those who weren’t immortal was far too short for them not to find people who could be described as more interesting things than kind or sweet. Where were the men who inspired tragedy ?? They must have been brought to extinction in the past century.

✧ — “ So he’s not a literal mutt, just a supernatural one,” Amari said conversationally, as if it weren’t an insult. “ That makes the prospect of fighting him far less interesting. It would be like popping a balloon. ” He made a noise to further illustrate his point.

✧ — He should have figured, now that he had the time to consider all of the talk about protectiveness and jealousy. Amari rolled his eyes and scrunched up his nose just a little as his smile grew even more flirtatious. “ Romanticism is universal. It’s the concept you’ll grow to understand when the only thing you’ll be thinking about is how soon will you be able to bed me again. I bet the first thought will cross your mind soon enough. ”

Noah found the other man to be incredibly interesting. He wasn’t sure if he liked the other man yet, but he did seem to have a rather poetic view of love. Noah found poetry to be fascinating, as it was so much different than mer poetry. It was much more...passionate...as if love was their only concern. It was one of the more interesting things about land dwellers.

“He’s not a mutt! You’re just being mean to him now. If you met him, I think you would really like him. And I don’t think you could beat him, his muscles are so big and even though he doesn’t think so, he’s awful strong. And besides, if you tried to harm him...well...I’d have to stop you,” Noah said with a cheerful grin.

Noah rolled his eyes “What is with your want to bed me? I mean I know that I’m really good looking, but I have a boyfriend, you silly guy! Only one of us seems to have bedding on their mind, so I think that it is you who cannot resist me!” Noah said boldly.
