Convict

I’m slowly forgetting my own face…

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“ I don’t really.. remember my name, or know how I am able to communicate here. But I won’t complain—any company is better than no company …unless you’re her.

Everything is dark and numb down here, under all this blood, but I manage.

I think I’ve changed since I was last at the surface, but it’s not like I can see myself anyways, so how am I supposed to know?

I still hear her voice sometimes… but at least she isn’t trying to kill me anymore, I guess. “

The SM-13 is gone.

Ava is gone.

The Eel was injured, but it survived.

And so, Simon is stuck here, at the bottom of an ocean of blood, almost entirely alone. He can’t see much in the darkness, and the sensory deprivation is driving him a little insane.

Maybe you should talk to him for a bit, or not. I don’t care.

[mod here, hi!! you may know me, my main blog is @void-of-existence , and my other iron lung ask blog is @convict-simon , so if you like my writing or art maybe you should give this blog a follow ^^

i may not post as often on this blog as i do on my other simon blog, but im hoping to do drawings for answers to some asks on here! im tryna get more into digital art since i just got a stylus, and this is a perfect excuse to do that while also drawing one of my favorite characters!

i hope you enjoy!! :3]

[s1m0n-inthedark]

i can try and ramm the sub at it *she said, returning to front of the sub*

@daughterofthebutcher

“That’s… probably not a good idea. I’ll get it myself.”

[simondrowinginblood]

[As Simon uses the camera to navigate, he sees a tail, and the edge of what appears to be a pair of wings.]

[He can also hear some low clicking sounds.]

Ooc: Am blood siren anon!

Holy shit! *He stumbles back from the camera* what the fuck was that?!... it has wings so an Angel!?

Ooc- hi blood siren anon

[simondrowinginblood]

Do you have any idea of who or what that could be?!

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’m.. not sure.”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

[They hear giggling.]

~ᛁ ᚫᛜЦᚢᚦ YᛜЦ!~

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh, fuck off…” He huffs out a breath. “Get the fuck down.”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Awww, but it’s so much more fun to toy around with you two, especially of you being so protective of Newbie there.

[Rose says as she pops out from the tree behind them, hanging upside down from its branches.]

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

AAAAAAA!.... oh Rose, jesus you scared the shit out of me

Have you just been hanging around here?

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Yep! I was up in the trees, trimming them, and heard you two being all lovey-dovey with each other.

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon turns red. His face scrunches and his tail tightens just slightly around the other’s waist. “We were not—!”

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

We were just uh... we were being friendly, we just thought we should get to know each other better, right?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yes, yes! Go creep on someone else, Rose!”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

I’m not creepin on you two! I was literally just caring for my trees in my garden!

[She retorts playfully.]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Good point... your garden is just really amazing, I mean I didn't know there were so many kinds of trees

And he was just showing me around, well we both were exploring too but he's been leading me

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Fine fine.

[She disappears back into the trees.]

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon huffs out a laugh, shaking his head. “Sorry about that, I didn’t expect her to be so… presumptuous. Nor did I expect her to be here at all.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I mean it makes sense this is her place after all

...we don't really look that lovey dovey, Do we?

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I.. I don’t know, maybe? I’ve never seen anyone in a romantic sense, let alone been with someone, so I don’t fuckin’ know what that’s supposed to look like.” He shrugs awkwardly.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Yeah me either... should we just keep exploring? And possibly keeping our eyes out too?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Uh, yeah. Good idea. And we can continue… y’know, getting to know each other.” He chuckles, feeling awkward, then continues their walk through the orchard.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

That doesn't seem so bad, I mean we're the same person in theory but how same are we?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’ve been thinking about that—I mean, do we share the same experiences up until the SM-13? But more importantly, do we like the same things? Do we think the same way? I just—sorry,” he laughs, “I’ve kinda been thinking about it since I first met you.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Me too... what I especially want to know is how theres so many of us here, I mean it makes no sense

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I know, it shouldn’t be possible.”

“But… if you ask me, you’re my favorite out of all of us.”

[good morning! :3 im so glad its the weekend, this week has been so tiring 😭]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

This should be impossible

And I think out of everyone I've meet, your my favorite too

Not just because your my favorite to talk too

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GOOD MORNING :33 and yay weekend! you get lots of sleep!! And technically my week technically just started :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh? And what’s that supposed to mean?” He teases. “What do you like so much about me? Care to share?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Now your just fishing for compliments (pun intended) but alright

You're very kind and just so patient, two traits that seem to be really rare now a days, plus I think you care for me more then most of the people I've ever meet

Now what about you? Wanna share?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh, you’re so sweet, how could I resist?”

He taps his finger on his chin, pretending to think. “Well, you actually tolerate me for one, you’re nice, you’re funny, you’re agreeable, you care to ask what I want; which no one in Eden or the COI ever did, and you’re cute.” He looks down at him with a playful grin. (is this a good time to mention that i forgot to say simon is taller than him with legs lmao)

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

Ooc: Imma butt in here real quick to give visual

[s1m0n-inthedark]

[ty twin 🙏]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh wow I didn't uh... I didn't expect all that... didn't expect someone to describe me with half of those in my life

...thanks, see what I mean your very nice

Ooc- I'm so tiny!! :33 gosh I can't even except being short in here, curse being 5'5!!!

Heheh

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’m nice because I like you a lot. If I thought you were an asshole—which you aren’t—I wouldn’t be spending so much time with you. l think you’re lovely to be around, truly.”

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Thank you-.... wait you thought I was an asshole?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Well, when I first met you I was a little scared you might be.. but you’re not! You’re so kind, there’s nothing asshole-ish about you.” He slows down a bit to walk by his side instead of more in front of him.

“And even if you were an asshole, all these compliments you’ve been feeding me would make up for it.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Really? I've never been very good with compliments or anything like that, but I'm glad you like them

...I was worried you all were assholes who wanted me to do something for them, I'm glad I was wrong

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon stops dead in his tracks, stepping in front of him and grabbing him by the shoulder, leaning down just enough to make solid eye contact with him. “I would never. I would rather die than put anyone through what I went through, especially you. I know you acknowledged that you were wrong in that assumption, but.. I just want to reassure you; you mean the world to me, Simon.”

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Uh... *his eyes get watery and he starts to sniffle* I'll be holding you to it, and you mean the world to me too... uh Simon too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He pulls him into a hug, gently running his fingers through his hair. “It’s okay, you can cry if you need to.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

WAAAAAAAAA sniffle sniffle WAAAAAA *the sound of a grown man weeping!*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“It’ll be okay, Si, you’re safe with me now.” He soothes quietly, and places a kiss on the top of his head.

[im actually cackling stop LMAO 😭]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

*he clings onto him* thank you so much!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

@s1m0n-inthedark

(My boy be the biggest baby around >:33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Of course, I’d hold you all day if I have to.” He continues to rake his fingers through his curls and massage his scalp, occasionally whispering words he hopes are comforting.

[oh this poor little man with issues]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You know *sniffle sniffle* your very good at this whole comfort thing

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Heh, thank you. I was a little worried I wouldn’t be able to help.”

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[only re-mentioning u cuz i think it mightve gotten lost but take ur time dawg :3

also im still tweakin omfg thank you. again. sofuckingmuch]

[simondrowinginblood]

Of course you would, were you not listening when I was telling you how amazing you are? I would be suprised if you couldn't help

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GAH!!! I always see the notifications but then completely forgot about it!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I guess I underestimate myself, thanks for reminding me.” He steps away slightly to look down at him, a soft smile on his face. He brings his hand to Newbie’s cheek and wipes away a stray tear with his thumb.

@simondrowinginblood

[lmao thats so fair i do that too 😭]

[simondrowinginblood]

Thank you

But what you are is to humble, again another rare trait

Is there even anything bad about you?

@s1m0n-inthedark

(In my defense im not used to people actually wanting to interact with me here, even on my main :33 YAY LOVE PEOPLE!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“There’s a lot of things that are bad about me. I’m impulsive, paranoid, anxious, irritable, the list goes on.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Those aren't that bad, and I think the good cancels it out

Besides nothing wrong with things that keep you alive

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I can compliment you all day buddy don't even try me >:33 )

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He sighs, already giving in. “Okay, sure. You win.”

@simondrowinginblood

[FUCKKKDBENEG I DIDNT SEE THIS NOTIF 2 HOURS AGO]

[simondrowinginblood]

I'm glad we could finally came to an agreement *He pats Simon's face*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Don’t pat me like that.” He scoffs jokingly, as a smile creeps onto his face.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Nothing wrong with being friendly every now and then

I thought you liked that part of me? going back of your word already *he had a little shit grin on his face*

@s1m0n-inthedark >:33 hehe

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I never said there was anything wrong with it, now you’re just twisting my words. And I do like that part of you. I like every part of you, even when you fuck around with me like you are now.” He inches closer, almost unnoticeably.

@simondrowinginblood

[oh what are you starting now you short little bastard /silly]

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh but whatever do you mean? I would never do such a thing *he bats his eyes like the little shit he is*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Hehe >:33 noooothing, what are you staring you tall baster/ silly silly)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He cocks his head at him. “I don’t trust that for a second. What are you trying to do?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Maybe I'm testing boundaries, maybe I'm seeing how far I can push that patients of yours

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Either way, I think you’ll find the answer you’re looking for.” He says with a smirk.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I will? How so?... what's that smirk for?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“What, did you lose some of that confidence you just had? What happened to ‘testing boundaries’ or ‘seeing how far you can push my patience’?” He steps forward, closing more of that small amount of distance between them.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... what are you uh.. I have uh no idea... uhhh

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Gay gay homosexual gay 🤨 /silly hehehehehe :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Fish got your tongue? Hm?”

@simondrowinginblood

[HOMOSEXUAL ALERT‼️‼️‼️🚨🚨]

[simondrowinginblood]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh *he becomes like the brightest shade of red ever*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GAY ALERT!!!! WEEEEEEWOOOOOWEEEEWOOOO!!!!!! THE GAY BROKE LITTLE SIMON!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Use your words, Si.” He coos teasingly, blushing a bit himself.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You uhh... you are uhhh segdkiusuc...... uh

....your very close

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I am.” His teasing grin falters for a moment as a serious look falls onto his face. “Is that okay? Do you want me to move?”

@simondrowinginblood

[consent is sexy guys☝️]

[simondrowinginblood]

Pffff it's not like... it's don't matter... I mean you can do whatever you....

....your fine

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Consent is the most SEXY☝️☝️)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon slowly slides his hand under his chin. “Are you sure? I need a proper yes or no, pretty please.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Eek!

Uhh........

....yes

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I fell asleep :< i might fall asleep again too

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Okay, if you change your mind just let me know.” He slides in closer, their faces now just inches away. “Now what was that you were being so cocky about earlier?”

@simondrowinginblood

[its alr!! im bummed its sunday tho 💔 i wanna sit in bed on tumblr all day, but then the workdays roll back in and i gotta do shit like a normal individual 🫩]

[simondrowinginblood]

I have no uh idea what you're talking about

....sorry

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I KNOW!!! :( I've been working extra early shift this week then I have a 9 hour shift tomorrow then I gotta be at an event all day after that, I JUST WANNA SNUGGLE UP AND SLEEP!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Not a clue, huh? That’s okay, you make up for it with how pretty.. you… are……” Simon’s entire face turns red as the realization of what he’s saying and how close they are finally hits him. He tries to sputter out an apology or something, but the words get caught in his throat. He doesn’t dar back away though.

@simondrowinginblood

[augh good luck dawg 😭]

[simondrowinginblood]

Uh!... you think I'm pretty?!

...well were the same person so a bit egotistical there but still, you really think so?! You're pretty too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I, uh. Yeah. I think you’re really pretty.” He chuckles a little nervously. “Thank you.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I even like the fishy feathers... actually I've been thinking about this all day *he hesitantly pokes one of the fins on your head* boop

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He hums, and his fins give a small twitch.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

They move!? Wow you're extraordinary *he uses both his hands with mess and poke at the fins*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(....I'm not very good at keeping the hella gay tension, I just wanna poke :3)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He chuckles and turns his head to the side for better access. “Just don’t yank on them or something.”

@simondrowinginblood

[lolol fins r fun :3]

[simondrowinginblood]

I would never even dream about hurting you in any way, even if you wanna get real close and basically kill me

Do they help you swim or something? They really are a nice color too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Would I sound dumb if I said I have no clue? Because I don’t know why they’re there.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

...I guess you didn't exactly always have them, but I still like them they're nice to look at even if they come from that fucking ocean

It adds to the charm.... and you still very close... hi

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He chuckles. “I am, I’m glad you noticed.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

It's kinda hard not to notice...

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yeah, I figured. You haven’t been complaining, though.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Touche but you've only been coming closer

Not exactly innocent either

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I have no clue what you’re talking about.” He lies.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Really then? Well if thats the case you wouldn't mind if I just leand away, now would you? Hmmmm?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I never said that.” He frowns, pulling him closer.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Pfff heheh that's what I thought... pretty

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Shut up.” He says with a joking scoff, blushing.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

But it's true, pretty pretty pretty pretty *he pats his face* pretty

@s1m0n-inthedark

>:33

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Uhg, you’re insufferable.” He lies. Again. Very obviously, as he is as red as a tomato.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Am I? well what are you gonna do about it *this simon was no better, he was red as shit too*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He bites his lip, his sharp teeth digging into his own skin, as he holds back what he wanted to say at first thought. “…What do you want me to do about it?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

What do you want to do about it

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He swallows thickly, nervousness fueling the heat burning across his face. “Uhm …shut you up.” He mumbles, hardly audible, if at all.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

What was that? I couldn't hear you

@s1m0n-inthedark

(When the slow burn lowkey takes 385 reblogs /silly silly)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I want to kiss you.” He blurts. “Like, so fucking bad, it’s driving me insane. You make me insane.”

@simondrowinginblood

[LMAO i just love me a slow burn, its all i read :3]

[simondrowinginblood]

...I mean if you want it so badly who am I to say no

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Without missing a beat, Simon pulls him in, smashing their lips together and moving his hand to the back of his neck to press him closer.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

*Other Simon wrapped his arms around him and kissed him back*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Heheh kiss kiss)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Uhh fuck idk. Smooching noises.

@simondrowinginblood

[i feel like im in elementary school again playing barbies with my friend and smushing them together]

[simondrowinginblood]

Kiss kiss mwah mwah .3.

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He pulls away just barely enough to catch his breath, looking at him with wide pupils and half-lidded eyes. “Fuck, you’re so pretty it hurts.”

@simondrowinginblood

[now that i think abt it, i was always the ken doll….. (🏳️‍⚧️)]

[simondrowinginblood]

I think I should be saying that

You know for a fish you aren't a bad kisser

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GASP!!!!.... me toooo *i don't have a trans emoji but believe, my phone is transphobic*)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He huffs out a quiet chuckle. “Oh, shut up.”

@simondrowinginblood

[evil transphobic phone 💔]

[simondrowinginblood]

Hey last time you tried to shut me up look were that got you

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He gives him a short little kiss. “Believe it or not,” and another, “I’m actually,” and another, “very happy,” and another, “with how this turned out.” And one more for good measure.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I don't doubt it, I'm pretty happy about this too *He grabs his face and kisses his cheek a bunch*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon giggles, wrapping his arm around Newbie’s neck and leaning into the affection.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You taste like fish hehehe *kiss kiss kiss*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Well, you better like it, because you’re stuck with me.” He kisses him again.

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh no whatever shall I doooo, I'm stuck with a pretty boy who likes me oh noooo

Truly an awful fate hehe

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Terrible, really.” He presses kisses to his cheek and along his jaw, smiling against his skin.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Alright your turn *He puts his hand on Simons face all plants kisses EVERYWHERE on his face

@s1m0n-inthedark

(This two had each other for two seconds and won't get off each other hehe :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He giggles and leans into him, relishing the affection.

@simondrowinginblood

[theyre so cute im gonna throw them back in the blood ocean /aff]

[simondrowinginblood]

*kiss kiss kiss lots of kisses*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Splish :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon wraps his arm around his waist, pulling him as close as he can. “I love you so much.”

@simondrowinginblood

[i need to draw them… if only i had time and motivation </3]

[simondrowinginblood]

I love you too.... you don't think the others will find it weird that we're basically the same person?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Who gives a shit? I’ve been judged my whole life—by Eden, by the COI, by everyone—and I’m not going to let that get in the way of me loving who I love.” He nuzzles into his neck, pressing a gentle kiss there.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Yeah I guess you're right, I mean who's gonna judge us here, the blood sirens? I think they'll be nice enough not too at least

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“In a place where giant magic fish creatures can create wormholes to other dimensions and make friends with several different versions of the same person,, I think two of them falling in love isn’t a concern that’s at the top of their mind.” He says, subconsciously tracing shapes on his back with one claw.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Yeah thats... your right as always

Honestly they really do have odd hobbies, I mean how many Simons do they really need?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He laughs at that, burying his face into Newbie’s shoulder. “Exactly.”

Regaining his composure, he kisses his cheek. “If anything, they’ll be happy for us. I know I am.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

[As Simon uses the camera to navigate, he sees a tail, and the edge of what appears to be a pair of wings.]

[He can also hear some low clicking sounds.]

Ooc: Am blood siren anon!

Holy shit! *He stumbles back from the camera* what the fuck was that?!... it has wings so an Angel!?

Ooc- hi blood siren anon

[simondrowinginblood]

Do you have any idea of who or what that could be?!

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’m.. not sure.”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

[They hear giggling.]

~ᛁ ᚫᛜЦᚢᚦ YᛜЦ!~

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh, fuck off…” He huffs out a breath. “Get the fuck down.”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Awww, but it’s so much more fun to toy around with you two, especially of you being so protective of Newbie there.

[Rose says as she pops out from the tree behind them, hanging upside down from its branches.]

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

AAAAAAA!.... oh Rose, jesus you scared the shit out of me

Have you just been hanging around here?

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Yep! I was up in the trees, trimming them, and heard you two being all lovey-dovey with each other.

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon turns red. His face scrunches and his tail tightens just slightly around the other’s waist. “We were not—!”

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

We were just uh... we were being friendly, we just thought we should get to know each other better, right?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yes, yes! Go creep on someone else, Rose!”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

I’m not creepin on you two! I was literally just caring for my trees in my garden!

[She retorts playfully.]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Good point... your garden is just really amazing, I mean I didn't know there were so many kinds of trees

And he was just showing me around, well we both were exploring too but he's been leading me

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Fine fine.

[She disappears back into the trees.]

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon huffs out a laugh, shaking his head. “Sorry about that, I didn’t expect her to be so… presumptuous. Nor did I expect her to be here at all.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I mean it makes sense this is her place after all

...we don't really look that lovey dovey, Do we?

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I.. I don’t know, maybe? I’ve never seen anyone in a romantic sense, let alone been with someone, so I don’t fuckin’ know what that’s supposed to look like.” He shrugs awkwardly.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Yeah me either... should we just keep exploring? And possibly keeping our eyes out too?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Uh, yeah. Good idea. And we can continue… y’know, getting to know each other.” He chuckles, feeling awkward, then continues their walk through the orchard.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

That doesn't seem so bad, I mean we're the same person in theory but how same are we?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’ve been thinking about that—I mean, do we share the same experiences up until the SM-13? But more importantly, do we like the same things? Do we think the same way? I just—sorry,” he laughs, “I’ve kinda been thinking about it since I first met you.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Me too... what I especially want to know is how theres so many of us here, I mean it makes no sense

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I know, it shouldn’t be possible.”

“But… if you ask me, you’re my favorite out of all of us.”

[good morning! :3 im so glad its the weekend, this week has been so tiring 😭]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

This should be impossible

And I think out of everyone I've meet, your my favorite too

Not just because your my favorite to talk too

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GOOD MORNING :33 and yay weekend! you get lots of sleep!! And technically my week technically just started :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh? And what’s that supposed to mean?” He teases. “What do you like so much about me? Care to share?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Now your just fishing for compliments (pun intended) but alright

You're very kind and just so patient, two traits that seem to be really rare now a days, plus I think you care for me more then most of the people I've ever meet

Now what about you? Wanna share?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh, you’re so sweet, how could I resist?”

He taps his finger on his chin, pretending to think. “Well, you actually tolerate me for one, you’re nice, you’re funny, you’re agreeable, you care to ask what I want; which no one in Eden or the COI ever did, and you’re cute.” He looks down at him with a playful grin. (is this a good time to mention that i forgot to say simon is taller than him with legs lmao)

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

Ooc: Imma butt in here real quick to give visual

[s1m0n-inthedark]

[ty twin 🙏]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh wow I didn't uh... I didn't expect all that... didn't expect someone to describe me with half of those in my life

...thanks, see what I mean your very nice

Ooc- I'm so tiny!! :33 gosh I can't even except being short in here, curse being 5'5!!!

Heheh

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’m nice because I like you a lot. If I thought you were an asshole—which you aren’t—I wouldn’t be spending so much time with you. l think you’re lovely to be around, truly.”

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Thank you-.... wait you thought I was an asshole?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Well, when I first met you I was a little scared you might be.. but you’re not! You’re so kind, there’s nothing asshole-ish about you.” He slows down a bit to walk by his side instead of more in front of him.

“And even if you were an asshole, all these compliments you’ve been feeding me would make up for it.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Really? I've never been very good with compliments or anything like that, but I'm glad you like them

...I was worried you all were assholes who wanted me to do something for them, I'm glad I was wrong

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon stops dead in his tracks, stepping in front of him and grabbing him by the shoulder, leaning down just enough to make solid eye contact with him. “I would never. I would rather die than put anyone through what I went through, especially you. I know you acknowledged that you were wrong in that assumption, but.. I just want to reassure you; you mean the world to me, Simon.”

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Uh... *his eyes get watery and he starts to sniffle* I'll be holding you to it, and you mean the world to me too... uh Simon too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He pulls him into a hug, gently running his fingers through his hair. “It’s okay, you can cry if you need to.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

WAAAAAAAAA sniffle sniffle WAAAAAA *the sound of a grown man weeping!*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“It’ll be okay, Si, you’re safe with me now.” He soothes quietly, and places a kiss on the top of his head.

[im actually cackling stop LMAO 😭]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

*he clings onto him* thank you so much!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

@s1m0n-inthedark

(My boy be the biggest baby around >:33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Of course, I’d hold you all day if I have to.” He continues to rake his fingers through his curls and massage his scalp, occasionally whispering words he hopes are comforting.

[oh this poor little man with issues]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You know *sniffle sniffle* your very good at this whole comfort thing

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Heh, thank you. I was a little worried I wouldn’t be able to help.”

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[only re-mentioning u cuz i think it mightve gotten lost but take ur time dawg :3

also im still tweakin omfg thank you. again. sofuckingmuch]

[simondrowinginblood]

Of course you would, were you not listening when I was telling you how amazing you are? I would be suprised if you couldn't help

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GAH!!! I always see the notifications but then completely forgot about it!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I guess I underestimate myself, thanks for reminding me.” He steps away slightly to look down at him, a soft smile on his face. He brings his hand to Newbie’s cheek and wipes away a stray tear with his thumb.

@simondrowinginblood

[lmao thats so fair i do that too 😭]

[simondrowinginblood]

Thank you

But what you are is to humble, again another rare trait

Is there even anything bad about you?

@s1m0n-inthedark

(In my defense im not used to people actually wanting to interact with me here, even on my main :33 YAY LOVE PEOPLE!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“There’s a lot of things that are bad about me. I’m impulsive, paranoid, anxious, irritable, the list goes on.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Those aren't that bad, and I think the good cancels it out

Besides nothing wrong with things that keep you alive

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I can compliment you all day buddy don't even try me >:33 )

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He sighs, already giving in. “Okay, sure. You win.”

@simondrowinginblood

[FUCKKKDBENEG I DIDNT SEE THIS NOTIF 2 HOURS AGO]

[simondrowinginblood]

I'm glad we could finally came to an agreement *He pats Simon's face*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Don’t pat me like that.” He scoffs jokingly, as a smile creeps onto his face.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Nothing wrong with being friendly every now and then

I thought you liked that part of me? going back of your word already *he had a little shit grin on his face*

@s1m0n-inthedark >:33 hehe

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I never said there was anything wrong with it, now you’re just twisting my words. And I do like that part of you. I like every part of you, even when you fuck around with me like you are now.” He inches closer, almost unnoticeably.

@simondrowinginblood

[oh what are you starting now you short little bastard /silly]

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh but whatever do you mean? I would never do such a thing *he bats his eyes like the little shit he is*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Hehe >:33 noooothing, what are you staring you tall baster/ silly silly)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He cocks his head at him. “I don’t trust that for a second. What are you trying to do?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Maybe I'm testing boundaries, maybe I'm seeing how far I can push that patients of yours

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Either way, I think you’ll find the answer you’re looking for.” He says with a smirk.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I will? How so?... what's that smirk for?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“What, did you lose some of that confidence you just had? What happened to ‘testing boundaries’ or ‘seeing how far you can push my patience’?” He steps forward, closing more of that small amount of distance between them.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... what are you uh.. I have uh no idea... uhhh

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Gay gay homosexual gay 🤨 /silly hehehehehe :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Fish got your tongue? Hm?”

@simondrowinginblood

[HOMOSEXUAL ALERT‼️‼️‼️🚨🚨]

[simondrowinginblood]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh *he becomes like the brightest shade of red ever*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GAY ALERT!!!! WEEEEEEWOOOOOWEEEEWOOOO!!!!!! THE GAY BROKE LITTLE SIMON!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Use your words, Si.” He coos teasingly, blushing a bit himself.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You uhh... you are uhhh segdkiusuc...... uh

....your very close

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I am.” His teasing grin falters for a moment as a serious look falls onto his face. “Is that okay? Do you want me to move?”

@simondrowinginblood

[consent is sexy guys☝️]

[simondrowinginblood]

Pffff it's not like... it's don't matter... I mean you can do whatever you....

....your fine

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Consent is the most SEXY☝️☝️)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon slowly slides his hand under his chin. “Are you sure? I need a proper yes or no, pretty please.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Eek!

Uhh........

....yes

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I fell asleep :< i might fall asleep again too

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Okay, if you change your mind just let me know.” He slides in closer, their faces now just inches away. “Now what was that you were being so cocky about earlier?”

@simondrowinginblood

[its alr!! im bummed its sunday tho 💔 i wanna sit in bed on tumblr all day, but then the workdays roll back in and i gotta do shit like a normal individual 🫩]

[simondrowinginblood]

I have no uh idea what you're talking about

....sorry

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I KNOW!!! :( I've been working extra early shift this week then I have a 9 hour shift tomorrow then I gotta be at an event all day after that, I JUST WANNA SNUGGLE UP AND SLEEP!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Not a clue, huh? That’s okay, you make up for it with how pretty.. you… are……” Simon’s entire face turns red as the realization of what he’s saying and how close they are finally hits him. He tries to sputter out an apology or something, but the words get caught in his throat. He doesn’t dar back away though.

@simondrowinginblood

[augh good luck dawg 😭]

[simondrowinginblood]

Uh!... you think I'm pretty?!

...well were the same person so a bit egotistical there but still, you really think so?! You're pretty too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I, uh. Yeah. I think you’re really pretty.” He chuckles a little nervously. “Thank you.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I even like the fishy feathers... actually I've been thinking about this all day *he hesitantly pokes one of the fins on your head* boop

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He hums, and his fins give a small twitch.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

They move!? Wow you're extraordinary *he uses both his hands with mess and poke at the fins*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(....I'm not very good at keeping the hella gay tension, I just wanna poke :3)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He chuckles and turns his head to the side for better access. “Just don’t yank on them or something.”

@simondrowinginblood

[lolol fins r fun :3]

[simondrowinginblood]

I would never even dream about hurting you in any way, even if you wanna get real close and basically kill me

Do they help you swim or something? They really are a nice color too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Would I sound dumb if I said I have no clue? Because I don’t know why they’re there.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

...I guess you didn't exactly always have them, but I still like them they're nice to look at even if they come from that fucking ocean

It adds to the charm.... and you still very close... hi

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He chuckles. “I am, I’m glad you noticed.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

It's kinda hard not to notice...

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yeah, I figured. You haven’t been complaining, though.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Touche but you've only been coming closer

Not exactly innocent either

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I have no clue what you’re talking about.” He lies.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Really then? Well if thats the case you wouldn't mind if I just leand away, now would you? Hmmmm?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I never said that.” He frowns, pulling him closer.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Pfff heheh that's what I thought... pretty

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Shut up.” He says with a joking scoff, blushing.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

But it's true, pretty pretty pretty pretty *he pats his face* pretty

@s1m0n-inthedark

>:33

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Uhg, you’re insufferable.” He lies. Again. Very obviously, as he is as red as a tomato.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Am I? well what are you gonna do about it *this simon was no better, he was red as shit too*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He bites his lip, his sharp teeth digging into his own skin, as he holds back what he wanted to say at first thought. “…What do you want me to do about it?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

What do you want to do about it

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He swallows thickly, nervousness fueling the heat burning across his face. “Uhm …shut you up.” He mumbles, hardly audible, if at all.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

What was that? I couldn't hear you

@s1m0n-inthedark

(When the slow burn lowkey takes 385 reblogs /silly silly)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I want to kiss you.” He blurts. “Like, so fucking bad, it’s driving me insane. You make me insane.”

@simondrowinginblood

[LMAO i just love me a slow burn, its all i read :3]

[simondrowinginblood]

...I mean if you want it so badly who am I to say no

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Without missing a beat, Simon pulls him in, smashing their lips together and moving his hand to the back of his neck to press him closer.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

*Other Simon wrapped his arms around him and kissed him back*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Heheh kiss kiss)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Uhh fuck idk. Smooching noises.

@simondrowinginblood

[i feel like im in elementary school again playing barbies with my friend and smushing them together]

[simondrowinginblood]

Kiss kiss mwah mwah .3.

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He pulls away just barely enough to catch his breath, looking at him with wide pupils and half-lidded eyes. “Fuck, you’re so pretty it hurts.”

@simondrowinginblood

[now that i think abt it, i was always the ken doll….. (🏳️‍⚧️)]

[simondrowinginblood]

I think I should be saying that

You know for a fish you aren't a bad kisser

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GASP!!!!.... me toooo *i don't have a trans emoji but believe, my phone is transphobic*)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He huffs out a quiet chuckle. “Oh, shut up.”

@simondrowinginblood

[evil transphobic phone 💔]

[simondrowinginblood]

Hey last time you tried to shut me up look were that got you

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He gives him a short little kiss. “Believe it or not,” and another, “I’m actually,” and another, “very happy,” and another, “with how this turned out.” And one more for good measure.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I don't doubt it, I'm pretty happy about this too *He grabs his face and kisses his cheek a bunch*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon giggles, wrapping his arm around Newbie’s neck and leaning into the affection.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You taste like fish hehehe *kiss kiss kiss*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Well, you better like it, because you’re stuck with me.” He kisses him again.

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh no whatever shall I doooo, I'm stuck with a pretty boy who likes me oh noooo

Truly an awful fate hehe

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Terrible, really.” He presses kisses to his cheek and along his jaw, smiling against his skin.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Alright your turn *He puts his hand on Simons face all plants kisses EVERYWHERE on his face

@s1m0n-inthedark

(This two had each other for two seconds and won't get off each other hehe :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He giggles and leans into him, relishing the affection.

@simondrowinginblood

[theyre so cute im gonna throw them back in the blood ocean /aff]

[simondrowinginblood]

*kiss kiss kiss lots of kisses*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Splish :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon wraps his arm around his waist, pulling him as close as he can. “I love you so much.”

@simondrowinginblood

[i need to draw them… if only i had time and motivation </3]

[simondrowinginblood]

I love you too.... you don't think the others will find it weird that we're basically the same person?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Who gives a shit? I’ve been judged my whole life—by Eden, by the COI, by everyone—and I’m not going to let that get in the way of me loving who I love.” He nuzzles into his neck, pressing a gentle kiss there.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Yeah I guess you're right, I mean who's gonna judge us here, the blood sirens? I think they'll be nice enough not too at least

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“In a place where giant magic fish creatures can create wormholes to other dimensions and make friends with several different versions of the same person,, I think two of them falling in love isn’t a concern that’s at the top of their mind.” He says, subconsciously tracing shapes on his back with one claw.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

[As Simon uses the camera to navigate, he sees a tail, and the edge of what appears to be a pair of wings.]

[He can also hear some low clicking sounds.]

Ooc: Am blood siren anon!

Holy shit! *He stumbles back from the camera* what the fuck was that?!... it has wings so an Angel!?

Ooc- hi blood siren anon

[simondrowinginblood]

Do you have any idea of who or what that could be?!

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’m.. not sure.”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

[They hear giggling.]

~ᛁ ᚫᛜЦᚢᚦ YᛜЦ!~

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh, fuck off…” He huffs out a breath. “Get the fuck down.”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Awww, but it’s so much more fun to toy around with you two, especially of you being so protective of Newbie there.

[Rose says as she pops out from the tree behind them, hanging upside down from its branches.]

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

AAAAAAA!.... oh Rose, jesus you scared the shit out of me

Have you just been hanging around here?

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Yep! I was up in the trees, trimming them, and heard you two being all lovey-dovey with each other.

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon turns red. His face scrunches and his tail tightens just slightly around the other’s waist. “We were not—!”

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

We were just uh... we were being friendly, we just thought we should get to know each other better, right?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yes, yes! Go creep on someone else, Rose!”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

I’m not creepin on you two! I was literally just caring for my trees in my garden!

[She retorts playfully.]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Good point... your garden is just really amazing, I mean I didn't know there were so many kinds of trees

And he was just showing me around, well we both were exploring too but he's been leading me

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Fine fine.

[She disappears back into the trees.]

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon huffs out a laugh, shaking his head. “Sorry about that, I didn’t expect her to be so… presumptuous. Nor did I expect her to be here at all.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I mean it makes sense this is her place after all

...we don't really look that lovey dovey, Do we?

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I.. I don’t know, maybe? I’ve never seen anyone in a romantic sense, let alone been with someone, so I don’t fuckin’ know what that’s supposed to look like.” He shrugs awkwardly.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Yeah me either... should we just keep exploring? And possibly keeping our eyes out too?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Uh, yeah. Good idea. And we can continue… y’know, getting to know each other.” He chuckles, feeling awkward, then continues their walk through the orchard.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

That doesn't seem so bad, I mean we're the same person in theory but how same are we?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’ve been thinking about that—I mean, do we share the same experiences up until the SM-13? But more importantly, do we like the same things? Do we think the same way? I just—sorry,” he laughs, “I’ve kinda been thinking about it since I first met you.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Me too... what I especially want to know is how theres so many of us here, I mean it makes no sense

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I know, it shouldn’t be possible.”

“But… if you ask me, you’re my favorite out of all of us.”

[good morning! :3 im so glad its the weekend, this week has been so tiring 😭]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

This should be impossible

And I think out of everyone I've meet, your my favorite too

Not just because your my favorite to talk too

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GOOD MORNING :33 and yay weekend! you get lots of sleep!! And technically my week technically just started :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh? And what’s that supposed to mean?” He teases. “What do you like so much about me? Care to share?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Now your just fishing for compliments (pun intended) but alright

You're very kind and just so patient, two traits that seem to be really rare now a days, plus I think you care for me more then most of the people I've ever meet

Now what about you? Wanna share?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh, you’re so sweet, how could I resist?”

He taps his finger on his chin, pretending to think. “Well, you actually tolerate me for one, you’re nice, you’re funny, you’re agreeable, you care to ask what I want; which no one in Eden or the COI ever did, and you’re cute.” He looks down at him with a playful grin. (is this a good time to mention that i forgot to say simon is taller than him with legs lmao)

[rose-the-convict]

Ooc: Imma butt in here real quick to give visual

[s1m0n-inthedark]

[ty twin 🙏]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh wow I didn't uh... I didn't expect all that... didn't expect someone to describe me with half of those in my life

...thanks, see what I mean your very nice

Ooc- I'm so tiny!! :33 gosh I can't even except being short in here, curse being 5'5!!!

Heheh

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’m nice because I like you a lot. If I thought you were an asshole—which you aren’t—I wouldn’t be spending so much time with you. l think you’re lovely to be around, truly.”

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Thank you-.... wait you thought I was an asshole?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Well, when I first met you I was a little scared you might be.. but you’re not! You’re so kind, there’s nothing asshole-ish about you.” He slows down a bit to walk by his side instead of more in front of him.

“And even if you were an asshole, all these compliments you’ve been feeding me would make up for it.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Really? I've never been very good with compliments or anything like that, but I'm glad you like them

...I was worried you all were assholes who wanted me to do something for them, I'm glad I was wrong

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon stops dead in his tracks, stepping in front of him and grabbing him by the shoulder, leaning down just enough to make solid eye contact with him. “I would never. I would rather die than put anyone through what I went through, especially you. I know you acknowledged that you were wrong in that assumption, but.. I just want to reassure you; you mean the world to me, Simon.”

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Uh... *his eyes get watery and he starts to sniffle* I'll be holding you to it, and you mean the world to me too... uh Simon too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He pulls him into a hug, gently running his fingers through his hair. “It’s okay, you can cry if you need to.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

WAAAAAAAAA sniffle sniffle WAAAAAA *the sound of a grown man weeping!*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“It’ll be okay, Si, you’re safe with me now.” He soothes quietly, and places a kiss on the top of his head.

[im actually cackling stop LMAO 😭]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

*he clings onto him* thank you so much!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

@s1m0n-inthedark

(My boy be the biggest baby around >:33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Of course, I’d hold you all day if I have to.” He continues to rake his fingers through his curls and massage his scalp, occasionally whispering words he hopes are comforting.

[oh this poor little man with issues]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You know *sniffle sniffle* your very good at this whole comfort thing

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Heh, thank you. I was a little worried I wouldn’t be able to help.”

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[only re-mentioning u cuz i think it mightve gotten lost but take ur time dawg :3

also im still tweakin omfg thank you. again. sofuckingmuch]

[simondrowinginblood]

Of course you would, were you not listening when I was telling you how amazing you are? I would be suprised if you couldn't help

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GAH!!! I always see the notifications but then completely forgot about it!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I guess I underestimate myself, thanks for reminding me.” He steps away slightly to look down at him, a soft smile on his face. He brings his hand to Newbie’s cheek and wipes away a stray tear with his thumb.

@simondrowinginblood

[lmao thats so fair i do that too 😭]

[simondrowinginblood]

Thank you

But what you are is to humble, again another rare trait

Is there even anything bad about you?

@s1m0n-inthedark

(In my defense im not used to people actually wanting to interact with me here, even on my main :33 YAY LOVE PEOPLE!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“There’s a lot of things that are bad about me. I’m impulsive, paranoid, anxious, irritable, the list goes on.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Those aren't that bad, and I think the good cancels it out

Besides nothing wrong with things that keep you alive

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I can compliment you all day buddy don't even try me >:33 )

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He sighs, already giving in. “Okay, sure. You win.”

@simondrowinginblood

[FUCKKKDBENEG I DIDNT SEE THIS NOTIF 2 HOURS AGO]

[simondrowinginblood]

I'm glad we could finally came to an agreement *He pats Simon's face*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Don’t pat me like that.” He scoffs jokingly, as a smile creeps onto his face.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Nothing wrong with being friendly every now and then

I thought you liked that part of me? going back of your word already *he had a little shit grin on his face*

@s1m0n-inthedark >:33 hehe

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I never said there was anything wrong with it, now you’re just twisting my words. And I do like that part of you. I like every part of you, even when you fuck around with me like you are now.” He inches closer, almost unnoticeably.

@simondrowinginblood

[oh what are you starting now you short little bastard /silly]

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh but whatever do you mean? I would never do such a thing *he bats his eyes like the little shit he is*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Hehe >:33 noooothing, what are you staring you tall baster/ silly silly)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He cocks his head at him. “I don’t trust that for a second. What are you trying to do?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Maybe I'm testing boundaries, maybe I'm seeing how far I can push that patients of yours

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Either way, I think you’ll find the answer you’re looking for.” He says with a smirk.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I will? How so?... what's that smirk for?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“What, did you lose some of that confidence you just had? What happened to ‘testing boundaries’ or ‘seeing how far you can push my patience’?” He steps forward, closing more of that small amount of distance between them.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... what are you uh.. I have uh no idea... uhhh

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Gay gay homosexual gay 🤨 /silly hehehehehe :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Fish got your tongue? Hm?”

@simondrowinginblood

[HOMOSEXUAL ALERT‼️‼️‼️🚨🚨]

[simondrowinginblood]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh *he becomes like the brightest shade of red ever*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GAY ALERT!!!! WEEEEEEWOOOOOWEEEEWOOOO!!!!!! THE GAY BROKE LITTLE SIMON!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Use your words, Si.” He coos teasingly, blushing a bit himself.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You uhh... you are uhhh segdkiusuc...... uh

....your very close

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I am.” His teasing grin falters for a moment as a serious look falls onto his face. “Is that okay? Do you want me to move?”

@simondrowinginblood

[consent is sexy guys☝️]

[simondrowinginblood]

Pffff it's not like... it's don't matter... I mean you can do whatever you....

....your fine

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Consent is the most SEXY☝️☝️)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon slowly slides his hand under his chin. “Are you sure? I need a proper yes or no, pretty please.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Eek!

Uhh........

....yes

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I fell asleep :< i might fall asleep again too

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Okay, if you change your mind just let me know.” He slides in closer, their faces now just inches away. “Now what was that you were being so cocky about earlier?”

@simondrowinginblood

[its alr!! im bummed its sunday tho 💔 i wanna sit in bed on tumblr all day, but then the workdays roll back in and i gotta do shit like a normal individual 🫩]

[simondrowinginblood]

I have no uh idea what you're talking about

....sorry

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I KNOW!!! :( I've been working extra early shift this week then I have a 9 hour shift tomorrow then I gotta be at an event all day after that, I JUST WANNA SNUGGLE UP AND SLEEP!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Not a clue, huh? That’s okay, you make up for it with how pretty.. you… are……” Simon’s entire face turns red as the realization of what he’s saying and how close they are finally hits him. He tries to sputter out an apology or something, but the words get caught in his throat. He doesn’t dar back away though.

@simondrowinginblood

[augh good luck dawg 😭]

[simondrowinginblood]

Uh!... you think I'm pretty?!

...well were the same person so a bit egotistical there but still, you really think so?! You're pretty too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I, uh. Yeah. I think you’re really pretty.” He chuckles a little nervously. “Thank you.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I even like the fishy feathers... actually I've been thinking about this all day *he hesitantly pokes one of the fins on your head* boop

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He hums, and his fins give a small twitch.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

They move!? Wow you're extraordinary *he uses both his hands with mess and poke at the fins*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(....I'm not very good at keeping the hella gay tension, I just wanna poke :3)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He chuckles and turns his head to the side for better access. “Just don’t yank on them or something.”

@simondrowinginblood

[lolol fins r fun :3]

[simondrowinginblood]

I would never even dream about hurting you in any way, even if you wanna get real close and basically kill me

Do they help you swim or something? They really are a nice color too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Would I sound dumb if I said I have no clue? Because I don’t know why they’re there.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

...I guess you didn't exactly always have them, but I still like them they're nice to look at even if they come from that fucking ocean

It adds to the charm.... and you still very close... hi

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He chuckles. “I am, I’m glad you noticed.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

It's kinda hard not to notice...

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yeah, I figured. You haven’t been complaining, though.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Touche but you've only been coming closer

Not exactly innocent either

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I have no clue what you’re talking about.” He lies.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Really then? Well if thats the case you wouldn't mind if I just leand away, now would you? Hmmmm?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I never said that.” He frowns, pulling him closer.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Pfff heheh that's what I thought... pretty

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Shut up.” He says with a joking scoff, blushing.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

But it's true, pretty pretty pretty pretty *he pats his face* pretty

@s1m0n-inthedark

>:33

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Uhg, you’re insufferable.” He lies. Again. Very obviously, as he is as red as a tomato.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Am I? well what are you gonna do about it *this simon was no better, he was red as shit too*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He bites his lip, his sharp teeth digging into his own skin, as he holds back what he wanted to say at first thought. “…What do you want me to do about it?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

What do you want to do about it

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He swallows thickly, nervousness fueling the heat burning across his face. “Uhm …shut you up.” He mumbles, hardly audible, if at all.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

What was that? I couldn't hear you

@s1m0n-inthedark

(When the slow burn lowkey takes 385 reblogs /silly silly)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I want to kiss you.” He blurts. “Like, so fucking bad, it’s driving me insane. You make me insane.”

@simondrowinginblood

[LMAO i just love me a slow burn, its all i read :3]

[simondrowinginblood]

...I mean if you want it so badly who am I to say no

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Without missing a beat, Simon pulls him in, smashing their lips together and moving his hand to the back of his neck to press him closer.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

*Other Simon wrapped his arms around him and kissed him back*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Heheh kiss kiss)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Uhh fuck idk. Smooching noises.

@simondrowinginblood

[i feel like im in elementary school again playing barbies with my friend and smushing them together]

[simondrowinginblood]

Kiss kiss mwah mwah .3.

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He pulls away just barely enough to catch his breath, looking at him with wide pupils and half-lidded eyes. “Fuck, you’re so pretty it hurts.”

@simondrowinginblood

[now that i think abt it, i was always the ken doll….. (🏳️‍⚧️)]

[simondrowinginblood]

I think I should be saying that

You know for a fish you aren't a bad kisser

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GASP!!!!.... me toooo *i don't have a trans emoji but believe, my phone is transphobic*)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He huffs out a quiet chuckle. “Oh, shut up.”

@simondrowinginblood

[evil transphobic phone 💔]

[simondrowinginblood]

Hey last time you tried to shut me up look were that got you

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He gives him a short little kiss. “Believe it or not,” and another, “I’m actually,” and another, “very happy,” and another, “with how this turned out.” And one more for good measure.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I don't doubt it, I'm pretty happy about this too *He grabs his face and kisses his cheek a bunch*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon giggles, wrapping his arm around Newbie’s neck and leaning into the affection.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You taste like fish hehehe *kiss kiss kiss*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Well, you better like it, because you’re stuck with me.” He kisses him again.

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh no whatever shall I doooo, I'm stuck with a pretty boy who likes me oh noooo

Truly an awful fate hehe

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Terrible, really.” He presses kisses to his cheek and along his jaw, smiling against his skin.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Alright your turn *He puts his hand on Simons face all plants kisses EVERYWHERE on his face

@s1m0n-inthedark

(This two had each other for two seconds and won't get off each other hehe :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He giggles and leans into him, relishing the affection.

@simondrowinginblood

[theyre so cute im gonna throw them back in the blood ocean /aff]

[simondrowinginblood]

*kiss kiss kiss lots of kisses*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Splish :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon wraps his arm around his waist, pulling him as close as he can. “I love you so much.”

@simondrowinginblood

[i need to draw them… if only i had time and motivation </3]

[simondrowinginblood]

I love you too.... you don't think the others will find it weird that we're basically the same person?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Who gives a shit? I’ve been judged my whole life—by Eden, by the COI, by everyone—and I’m not going to let that get in the way of me loving who I love.” He nuzzles into his neck, pressing a gentle kiss there.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

[As Simon uses the camera to navigate, he sees a tail, and the edge of what appears to be a pair of wings.]

[He can also hear some low clicking sounds.]

Ooc: Am blood siren anon!

Holy shit! *He stumbles back from the camera* what the fuck was that?!... it has wings so an Angel!?

Ooc- hi blood siren anon

[simondrowinginblood]

Do you have any idea of who or what that could be?!

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’m.. not sure.”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

[They hear giggling.]

~ᛁ ᚫᛜЦᚢᚦ YᛜЦ!~

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh, fuck off…” He huffs out a breath. “Get the fuck down.”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Awww, but it’s so much more fun to toy around with you two, especially of you being so protective of Newbie there.

[Rose says as she pops out from the tree behind them, hanging upside down from its branches.]

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

AAAAAAA!.... oh Rose, jesus you scared the shit out of me

Have you just been hanging around here?

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Yep! I was up in the trees, trimming them, and heard you two being all lovey-dovey with each other.

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon turns red. His face scrunches and his tail tightens just slightly around the other’s waist. “We were not—!”

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

We were just uh... we were being friendly, we just thought we should get to know each other better, right?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yes, yes! Go creep on someone else, Rose!”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

I’m not creepin on you two! I was literally just caring for my trees in my garden!

[She retorts playfully.]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Good point... your garden is just really amazing, I mean I didn't know there were so many kinds of trees

And he was just showing me around, well we both were exploring too but he's been leading me

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Fine fine.

[She disappears back into the trees.]

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon huffs out a laugh, shaking his head. “Sorry about that, I didn’t expect her to be so… presumptuous. Nor did I expect her to be here at all.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I mean it makes sense this is her place after all

...we don't really look that lovey dovey, Do we?

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I.. I don’t know, maybe? I’ve never seen anyone in a romantic sense, let alone been with someone, so I don’t fuckin’ know what that’s supposed to look like.” He shrugs awkwardly.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Yeah me either... should we just keep exploring? And possibly keeping our eyes out too?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Uh, yeah. Good idea. And we can continue… y’know, getting to know each other.” He chuckles, feeling awkward, then continues their walk through the orchard.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

That doesn't seem so bad, I mean we're the same person in theory but how same are we?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’ve been thinking about that—I mean, do we share the same experiences up until the SM-13? But more importantly, do we like the same things? Do we think the same way? I just—sorry,” he laughs, “I’ve kinda been thinking about it since I first met you.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Me too... what I especially want to know is how theres so many of us here, I mean it makes no sense

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I know, it shouldn’t be possible.”

“But… if you ask me, you’re my favorite out of all of us.”

[good morning! :3 im so glad its the weekend, this week has been so tiring 😭]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

This should be impossible

And I think out of everyone I've meet, your my favorite too

Not just because your my favorite to talk too

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GOOD MORNING :33 and yay weekend! you get lots of sleep!! And technically my week technically just started :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh? And what’s that supposed to mean?” He teases. “What do you like so much about me? Care to share?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Now your just fishing for compliments (pun intended) but alright

You're very kind and just so patient, two traits that seem to be really rare now a days, plus I think you care for me more then most of the people I've ever meet

Now what about you? Wanna share?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh, you’re so sweet, how could I resist?”

He taps his finger on his chin, pretending to think. “Well, you actually tolerate me for one, you’re nice, you’re funny, you’re agreeable, you care to ask what I want; which no one in Eden or the COI ever did, and you’re cute.” He looks down at him with a playful grin. (is this a good time to mention that i forgot to say simon is taller than him with legs lmao)

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

Ooc: Imma butt in here real quick to give visual

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh wow I didn't uh... I didn't expect all that... didn't expect someone to describe me with half of those in my life

...thanks, see what I mean your very nice

Ooc- I'm so tiny!! :33 gosh I can't even except being short in here, curse being 5'5!!!

Heheh

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’m nice because I like you a lot. If I thought you were an asshole—which you aren’t—I wouldn’t be spending so much time with you. l think you’re lovely to be around, truly.”

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Thank you-.... wait you thought I was an asshole?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Well, when I first met you I was a little scared you might be.. but you’re not! You’re so kind, there’s nothing asshole-ish about you.” He slows down a bit to walk by his side instead of more in front of him.

“And even if you were an asshole, all these compliments you’ve been feeding me would make up for it.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Really? I've never been very good with compliments or anything like that, but I'm glad you like them

...I was worried you all were assholes who wanted me to do something for them, I'm glad I was wrong

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon stops dead in his tracks, stepping in front of him and grabbing him by the shoulder, leaning down just enough to make solid eye contact with him. “I would never. I would rather die than put anyone through what I went through, especially you. I know you acknowledged that you were wrong in that assumption, but.. I just want to reassure you; you mean the world to me, Simon.”

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Uh... *his eyes get watery and he starts to sniffle* I'll be holding you to it, and you mean the world to me too... uh Simon too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He pulls him into a hug, gently running his fingers through his hair. “It’s okay, you can cry if you need to.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

WAAAAAAAAA sniffle sniffle WAAAAAA *the sound of a grown man weeping!*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“It’ll be okay, Si, you’re safe with me now.” He soothes quietly, and places a kiss on the top of his head.

[im actually cackling stop LMAO 😭]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

*he clings onto him* thank you so much!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

@s1m0n-inthedark

(My boy be the biggest baby around >:33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Of course, I’d hold you all day if I have to.” He continues to rake his fingers through his curls and massage his scalp, occasionally whispering words he hopes are comforting.

[oh this poor little man with issues]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You know *sniffle sniffle* your very good at this whole comfort thing

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Heh, thank you. I was a little worried I wouldn’t be able to help.”

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[only re-mentioning u cuz i think it mightve gotten lost but take ur time dawg :3

[simondrowinginblood]

Of course you would, were you not listening when I was telling you how amazing you are? I would be suprised if you couldn't help

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GAH!!! I always see the notifications but then completely forgot about it!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I guess I underestimate myself, thanks for reminding me.” He steps away slightly to look down at him, a soft smile on his face. He brings his hand to Newbie’s cheek and wipes away a stray tear with his thumb.

@simondrowinginblood

[lmao thats so fair i do that too 😭]

[simondrowinginblood]

Thank you

But what you are is to humble, again another rare trait

Is there even anything bad about you?

@s1m0n-inthedark

(In my defense im not used to people actually wanting to interact with me here, even on my main :33 YAY LOVE PEOPLE!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“There’s a lot of things that are bad about me. I’m impulsive, paranoid, anxious, irritable, the list goes on.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Those aren't that bad, and I think the good cancels it out

Besides nothing wrong with things that keep you alive

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I can compliment you all day buddy don't even try me >:33 )

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He sighs, already giving in. “Okay, sure. You win.”

@simondrowinginblood

[FUCKKKDBENEG I DIDNT SEE THIS NOTIF 2 HOURS AGO]

[simondrowinginblood]

I'm glad we could finally came to an agreement *He pats Simon's face*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Don’t pat me like that.” He scoffs jokingly, as a smile creeps onto his face.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Nothing wrong with being friendly every now and then

I thought you liked that part of me? going back of your word already *he had a little shit grin on his face*

@s1m0n-inthedark >:33 hehe

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I never said there was anything wrong with it, now you’re just twisting my words. And I do like that part of you. I like every part of you, even when you fuck around with me like you are now.” He inches closer, almost unnoticeably.

@simondrowinginblood

[oh what are you starting now you short little bastard /silly]

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh but whatever do you mean? I would never do such a thing *he bats his eyes like the little shit he is*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Hehe >:33 noooothing, what are you staring you tall baster/ silly silly)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He cocks his head at him. “I don’t trust that for a second. What are you trying to do?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Maybe I'm testing boundaries, maybe I'm seeing how far I can push that patients of yours

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Either way, I think you’ll find the answer you’re looking for.” He says with a smirk.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I will? How so?... what's that smirk for?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“What, did you lose some of that confidence you just had? What happened to ‘testing boundaries’ or ‘seeing how far you can push my patience’?” He steps forward, closing more of that small amount of distance between them.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... what are you uh.. I have uh no idea... uhhh

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Gay gay homosexual gay 🤨 /silly hehehehehe :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Fish got your tongue? Hm?”

@simondrowinginblood

[HOMOSEXUAL ALERT‼️‼️‼️🚨🚨]

[simondrowinginblood]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh *he becomes like the brightest shade of red ever*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GAY ALERT!!!! WEEEEEEWOOOOOWEEEEWOOOO!!!!!! THE GAY BROKE LITTLE SIMON!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Use your words, Si.” He coos teasingly, blushing a bit himself.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You uhh... you are uhhh segdkiusuc...... uh

....your very close

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I am.” His teasing grin falters for a moment as a serious look falls onto his face. “Is that okay? Do you want me to move?”

@simondrowinginblood

[consent is sexy guys☝️]

[simondrowinginblood]

Pffff it's not like... it's don't matter... I mean you can do whatever you....

....your fine

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Consent is the most SEXY☝️☝️)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon slowly slides his hand under his chin. “Are you sure? I need a proper yes or no, pretty please.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Eek!

Uhh........

....yes

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I fell asleep :< i might fall asleep again too

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Okay, if you change your mind just let me know.” He slides in closer, their faces now just inches away. “Now what was that you were being so cocky about earlier?”

@simondrowinginblood

[its alr!! im bummed its sunday tho 💔 i wanna sit in bed on tumblr all day, but then the workdays roll back in and i gotta do shit like a normal individual 🫩]

[simondrowinginblood]

I have no uh idea what you're talking about

....sorry

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I KNOW!!! :( I've been working extra early shift this week then I have a 9 hour shift tomorrow then I gotta be at an event all day after that, I JUST WANNA SNUGGLE UP AND SLEEP!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Not a clue, huh? That’s okay, you make up for it with how pretty.. you… are……” Simon’s entire face turns red as the realization of what he’s saying and how close they are finally hits him. He tries to sputter out an apology or something, but the words get caught in his throat. He doesn’t dar back away though.

@simondrowinginblood

[augh good luck dawg 😭]

[simondrowinginblood]

Uh!... you think I'm pretty?!

...well were the same person so a bit egotistical there but still, you really think so?! You're pretty too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I, uh. Yeah. I think you’re really pretty.” He chuckles a little nervously. “Thank you.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I even like the fishy feathers... actually I've been thinking about this all day *he hesitantly pokes one of the fins on your head* boop

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He hums, and his fins give a small twitch.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

They move!? Wow you're extraordinary *he uses both his hands with mess and poke at the fins*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(....I'm not very good at keeping the hella gay tension, I just wanna poke :3)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He chuckles and turns his head to the side for better access. “Just don’t yank on them or something.”

@simondrowinginblood

[lolol fins r fun :3]

[simondrowinginblood]

I would never even dream about hurting you in any way, even if you wanna get real close and basically kill me

Do they help you swim or something? They really are a nice color too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Would I sound dumb if I said I have no clue? Because I don’t know why they’re there.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

...I guess you didn't exactly always have them, but I still like them they're nice to look at even if they come from that fucking ocean

It adds to the charm.... and you still very close... hi

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He chuckles. “I am, I’m glad you noticed.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

It's kinda hard not to notice...

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yeah, I figured. You haven’t been complaining, though.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Touche but you've only been coming closer

Not exactly innocent either

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I have no clue what you’re talking about.” He lies.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Really then? Well if thats the case you wouldn't mind if I just leand away, now would you? Hmmmm?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I never said that.” He frowns, pulling him closer.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Pfff heheh that's what I thought... pretty

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Shut up.” He says with a joking scoff, blushing.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

But it's true, pretty pretty pretty pretty *he pats his face* pretty

@s1m0n-inthedark

>:33

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Uhg, you’re insufferable.” He lies. Again. Very obviously, as he is as red as a tomato.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Am I? well what are you gonna do about it *this simon was no better, he was red as shit too*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He bites his lip, his sharp teeth digging into his own skin, as he holds back what he wanted to say at first thought. “…What do you want me to do about it?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

What do you want to do about it

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He swallows thickly, nervousness fueling the heat burning across his face. “Uhm …shut you up.” He mumbles, hardly audible, if at all.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

What was that? I couldn't hear you

@s1m0n-inthedark

(When the slow burn lowkey takes 385 reblogs /silly silly)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I want to kiss you.” He blurts. “Like, so fucking bad, it’s driving me insane. You make me insane.”

@simondrowinginblood

[LMAO i just love me a slow burn, its all i read :3]

[simondrowinginblood]

...I mean if you want it so badly who am I to say no

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Without missing a beat, Simon pulls him in, smashing their lips together and moving his hand to the back of his neck to press him closer.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

*Other Simon wrapped his arms around him and kissed him back*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Heheh kiss kiss)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Uhh fuck idk. Smooching noises.

@simondrowinginblood

[i feel like im in elementary school again playing barbies with my friend and smushing them together]

[simondrowinginblood]

Kiss kiss mwah mwah .3.

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He pulls away just barely enough to catch his breath, looking at him with wide pupils and half-lidded eyes. “Fuck, you’re so pretty it hurts.”

@simondrowinginblood

[now that i think abt it, i was always the ken doll….. (🏳️‍⚧️)]

[simondrowinginblood]

I think I should be saying that

You know for a fish you aren't a bad kisser

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GASP!!!!.... me toooo *i don't have a trans emoji but believe, my phone is transphobic*)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He huffs out a quiet chuckle. “Oh, shut up.”

@simondrowinginblood

[evil transphobic phone 💔]

[simondrowinginblood]

Hey last time you tried to shut me up look were that got you

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He gives him a short little kiss. “Believe it or not,” and another, “I’m actually,” and another, “very happy,” and another, “with how this turned out.” And one more for good measure.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I don't doubt it, I'm pretty happy about this too *He grabs his face and kisses his cheek a bunch*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon giggles, wrapping his arm around Newbie’s neck and leaning into the affection.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You taste like fish hehehe *kiss kiss kiss*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Well, you better like it, because you’re stuck with me.” He kisses him again.

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh no whatever shall I doooo, I'm stuck with a pretty boy who likes me oh noooo

Truly an awful fate hehe

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Terrible, really.” He presses kisses to his cheek and along his jaw, smiling against his skin.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Alright your turn *He puts his hand on Simons face all plants kisses EVERYWHERE on his face

@s1m0n-inthedark

(This two had each other for two seconds and won't get off each other hehe :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He giggles and leans into him, relishing the affection.

@simondrowinginblood

[theyre so cute im gonna throw them back in the blood ocean /aff]

[simondrowinginblood]

*kiss kiss kiss lots of kisses*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Splish :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon wraps his arm around his waist, pulling him as close as he can. “I love you so much.”

@simondrowinginblood

[i need to draw them… if only i had time and motivation </3]

[s1m0n-inthedark]

.....you can use one of the skeleton teeth to break the chain *she said standing up*

@daughterofthebutcher

“Hm.. I probably could. I’d just have to stay out of Elli’s territory and I’d be fine.”

[simondrowinginblood]

[As Simon uses the camera to navigate, he sees a tail, and the edge of what appears to be a pair of wings.]

[He can also hear some low clicking sounds.]

Ooc: Am blood siren anon!

Holy shit! *He stumbles back from the camera* what the fuck was that?!... it has wings so an Angel!?

Ooc- hi blood siren anon

[simondrowinginblood]

Do you have any idea of who or what that could be?!

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’m.. not sure.”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

[They hear giggling.]

~ᛁ ᚫᛜЦᚢᚦ YᛜЦ!~

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh, fuck off…” He huffs out a breath. “Get the fuck down.”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Awww, but it’s so much more fun to toy around with you two, especially of you being so protective of Newbie there.

[Rose says as she pops out from the tree behind them, hanging upside down from its branches.]

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

AAAAAAA!.... oh Rose, jesus you scared the shit out of me

Have you just been hanging around here?

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Yep! I was up in the trees, trimming them, and heard you two being all lovey-dovey with each other.

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon turns red. His face scrunches and his tail tightens just slightly around the other’s waist. “We were not—!”

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

We were just uh... we were being friendly, we just thought we should get to know each other better, right?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yes, yes! Go creep on someone else, Rose!”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

I’m not creepin on you two! I was literally just caring for my trees in my garden!

[She retorts playfully.]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Good point... your garden is just really amazing, I mean I didn't know there were so many kinds of trees

And he was just showing me around, well we both were exploring too but he's been leading me

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Fine fine.

[She disappears back into the trees.]

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon huffs out a laugh, shaking his head. “Sorry about that, I didn’t expect her to be so… presumptuous. Nor did I expect her to be here at all.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I mean it makes sense this is her place after all

...we don't really look that lovey dovey, Do we?

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I.. I don’t know, maybe? I’ve never seen anyone in a romantic sense, let alone been with someone, so I don’t fuckin’ know what that’s supposed to look like.” He shrugs awkwardly.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Yeah me either... should we just keep exploring? And possibly keeping our eyes out too?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Uh, yeah. Good idea. And we can continue… y’know, getting to know each other.” He chuckles, feeling awkward, then continues their walk through the orchard.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

That doesn't seem so bad, I mean we're the same person in theory but how same are we?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’ve been thinking about that—I mean, do we share the same experiences up until the SM-13? But more importantly, do we like the same things? Do we think the same way? I just—sorry,” he laughs, “I’ve kinda been thinking about it since I first met you.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Me too... what I especially want to know is how theres so many of us here, I mean it makes no sense

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I know, it shouldn’t be possible.”

“But… if you ask me, you’re my favorite out of all of us.”

[good morning! :3 im so glad its the weekend, this week has been so tiring 😭]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

This should be impossible

And I think out of everyone I've meet, your my favorite too

Not just because your my favorite to talk too

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GOOD MORNING :33 and yay weekend! you get lots of sleep!! And technically my week technically just started :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh? And what’s that supposed to mean?” He teases. “What do you like so much about me? Care to share?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Now your just fishing for compliments (pun intended) but alright

You're very kind and just so patient, two traits that seem to be really rare now a days, plus I think you care for me more then most of the people I've ever meet

Now what about you? Wanna share?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh, you’re so sweet, how could I resist?”

He taps his finger on his chin, pretending to think. “Well, you actually tolerate me for one, you’re nice, you’re funny, you’re agreeable, you care to ask what I want; which no one in Eden or the COI ever did, and you’re cute.” He looks down at him with a playful grin. (is this a good time to mention that i forgot to say simon is taller than him with legs lmao)

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

Ooc: Imma butt in here real quick to give visual

[s1m0n-inthedark]

[ty twin 🙏]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh wow I didn't uh... I didn't expect all that... didn't expect someone to describe me with half of those in my life

...thanks, see what I mean your very nice

Ooc- I'm so tiny!! :33 gosh I can't even except being short in here, curse being 5'5!!!

Heheh

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’m nice because I like you a lot. If I thought you were an asshole—which you aren’t—I wouldn’t be spending so much time with you. l think you’re lovely to be around, truly.”

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Thank you-.... wait you thought I was an asshole?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Well, when I first met you I was a little scared you might be.. but you’re not! You’re so kind, there’s nothing asshole-ish about you.” He slows down a bit to walk by his side instead of more in front of him.

“And even if you were an asshole, all these compliments you’ve been feeding me would make up for it.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Really? I've never been very good with compliments or anything like that, but I'm glad you like them

...I was worried you all were assholes who wanted me to do something for them, I'm glad I was wrong

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon stops dead in his tracks, stepping in front of him and grabbing him by the shoulder, leaning down just enough to make solid eye contact with him. “I would never. I would rather die than put anyone through what I went through, especially you. I know you acknowledged that you were wrong in that assumption, but.. I just want to reassure you; you mean the world to me, Simon.”

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Uh... *his eyes get watery and he starts to sniffle* I'll be holding you to it, and you mean the world to me too... uh Simon too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He pulls him into a hug, gently running his fingers through his hair. “It’s okay, you can cry if you need to.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

WAAAAAAAAA sniffle sniffle WAAAAAA *the sound of a grown man weeping!*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“It’ll be okay, Si, you’re safe with me now.” He soothes quietly, and places a kiss on the top of his head.

[im actually cackling stop LMAO 😭]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

*he clings onto him* thank you so much!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

@s1m0n-inthedark

(My boy be the biggest baby around >:33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Of course, I’d hold you all day if I have to.” He continues to rake his fingers through his curls and massage his scalp, occasionally whispering words he hopes are comforting.

[oh this poor little man with issues]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You know *sniffle sniffle* your very good at this whole comfort thing

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Heh, thank you. I was a little worried I wouldn’t be able to help.”

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[only re-mentioning u cuz i think it mightve gotten lost but take ur time dawg :3

[simondrowinginblood]

Of course you would, were you not listening when I was telling you how amazing you are? I would be suprised if you couldn't help

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GAH!!! I always see the notifications but then completely forgot about it!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I guess I underestimate myself, thanks for reminding me.” He steps away slightly to look down at him, a soft smile on his face. He brings his hand to Newbie’s cheek and wipes away a stray tear with his thumb.

@simondrowinginblood

[lmao thats so fair i do that too 😭]

[simondrowinginblood]

Thank you

But what you are is to humble, again another rare trait

Is there even anything bad about you?

@s1m0n-inthedark

(In my defense im not used to people actually wanting to interact with me here, even on my main :33 YAY LOVE PEOPLE!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“There’s a lot of things that are bad about me. I’m impulsive, paranoid, anxious, irritable, the list goes on.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Those aren't that bad, and I think the good cancels it out

Besides nothing wrong with things that keep you alive

@s1m0n-inthedark

He sighs, already giving in. “Okay, sure. You win.”

@simondrowinginblood

[FUCKKKDBENEG I DIDNT SEE THIS NOTIF 2 HOURS AGO]

[simondrowinginblood]

I'm glad we could finally came to an agreement *He pats Simon's face*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Don’t pat me like that.” He scoffs jokingly, as a smile creeps onto his face.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Nothing wrong with being friendly every now and then

I thought you liked that part of me? going back of your word already *he had a little shit grin on his face*

@s1m0n-inthedark >:33 hehe

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I never said there was anything wrong with it, now you’re just twisting my words. And I do like that part of you. I like every part of you, even when you fuck around with me like you are now.” He inches closer, almost unnoticeably.

@simondrowinginblood

[oh what are you starting now you short little bastard /silly]

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh but whatever do you mean? I would never do such a thing *he bats his eyes like the little shit he is*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Hehe >:33 noooothing, what are you staring you tall baster/ silly silly)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He cocks his head at him. “I don’t trust that for a second. What are you trying to do?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Maybe I'm testing boundaries, maybe I'm seeing how far I can push that patients of yours

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Either way, I think you’ll find the answer you’re looking for.” He says with a smirk.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I will? How so?... what's that smirk for?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“What, did you lose some of that confidence you just had? What happened to ‘testing boundaries’ or ‘seeing how far you can push my patience’?” He steps forward, closing more of that small amount of distance between them.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... what are you uh.. I have uh no idea... uhhh

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Gay gay homosexual gay 🤨 /silly hehehehehe :33)

“Use your words, Si.” He coos teasingly, blushing a bit himself.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You uhh... you are uhhh segdkiusuc...... uh

....your very close

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I am.” His teasing grin falters for a moment as a serious look falls onto his face. “Is that okay? Do you want me to move?”

Pffff it's not like... it's don't matter... I mean you can do whatever you....

....your fine

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Consent is the most SEXY☝️☝️)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon slowly slides his hand under his chin. “Are you sure? I need a proper yes or no, pretty please.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Eek!

Uhh........

....yes

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I fell asleep :< i might fall asleep again too

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Okay, if you change your mind just let me know.” He slides in closer, their faces now just inches away. “Now what was that you were being so cocky about earlier?”

@simondrowinginblood

[its alr!! im bummed its sunday tho 💔 i wanna sit in bed on tumblr all day, but then the workdays roll back in and i gotta do shit like a normal individual 🫩]

[simondrowinginblood]

I have no uh idea what you're talking about

....sorry

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I KNOW!!! :( I've been working extra early shift this week then I have a 9 hour shift tomorrow then I gotta be at an event all day after that, I JUST WANNA SNUGGLE UP AND SLEEP!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Not a clue, huh? That’s okay, you make up for it with how pretty.. you… are……” Simon’s entire face turns red as the realization of what he’s saying and how close they are finally hits him. He tries to sputter out an apology or something, but the words get caught in his throat. He doesn’t dar back away though.

@simondrowinginblood

[augh good luck dawg 😭]

[simondrowinginblood]

Uh!... you think I'm pretty?!

...well were the same person so a bit egotistical there but still, you really think so?! You're pretty too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I, uh. Yeah. I think you’re really pretty.” He chuckles a little nervously. “Thank you.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I even like the fishy feathers... actually I've been thinking about this all day *he hesitantly pokes one of the fins on your head* boop

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He hums, and his fins give a small twitch.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

They move!? Wow you're extraordinary *he uses both his hands with mess and poke at the fins*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(....I'm not very good at keeping the hella gay tension, I just wanna poke :3)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He chuckles and turns his head to the side for better access. “Just don’t yank on them or something.”

@simondrowinginblood

[lolol fins r fun :3]

[simondrowinginblood]

I would never even dream about hurting you in any way, even if you wanna get real close and basically kill me

Do they help you swim or something? They really are a nice color too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Would I sound dumb if I said I have no clue? Because I don’t know why they’re there.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

...I guess you didn't exactly always have them, but I still like them they're nice to look at even if they come from that fucking ocean

It adds to the charm.... and you still very close... hi

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He chuckles. “I am, I’m glad you noticed.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

It's kinda hard not to notice...

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yeah, I figured. You haven’t been complaining, though.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Touche but you've only been coming closer

Not exactly innocent either

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I have no clue what you’re talking about.” He lies.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Really then? Well if thats the case you wouldn't mind if I just leand away, now would you? Hmmmm?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I never said that.” He frowns, pulling him closer.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Pfff heheh that's what I thought... pretty

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Shut up.” He says with a joking scoff, blushing.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

But it's true, pretty pretty pretty pretty *he pats his face* pretty

@s1m0n-inthedark

>:33

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Uhg, you’re insufferable.” He lies. Again. Very obviously, as he is as red as a tomato.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Am I? well what are you gonna do about it *this simon was no better, he was red as shit too*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He bites his lip, his sharp teeth digging into his own skin, as he holds back what he wanted to say at first thought. “…What do you want me to do about it?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

What do you want to do about it

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He swallows thickly, nervousness fueling the heat burning across his face. “Uhm …shut you up.” He mumbles, hardly audible, if at all.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

What was that? I couldn't hear you

@s1m0n-inthedark

(When the slow burn lowkey takes 385 reblogs /silly silly)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I want to kiss you.” He blurts. “Like, so fucking bad, it’s driving me insane. You make me insane.”

@simondrowinginblood

[LMAO i just love me a slow burn, its all i read :3]

[simondrowinginblood]

...I mean if you want it so badly who am I to say no

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Without missing a beat, Simon pulls him in, smashing their lips together and moving his hand to the back of his neck to press him closer.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

*Other Simon wrapped his arms around him and kissed him back*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Heheh kiss kiss)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Uhh fuck idk. Smooching noises.

@simondrowinginblood

[i feel like im in elementary school again playing barbies with my friend and smushing them together]

[simondrowinginblood]

Kiss kiss mwah mwah .3.

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He pulls away just barely enough to catch his breath, looking at him with wide pupils and half-lidded eyes. “Fuck, you’re so pretty it hurts.”

@simondrowinginblood

[now that i think abt it, i was always the ken doll….. (🏳️‍⚧️)]

[simondrowinginblood]

I think I should be saying that

You know for a fish you aren't a bad kisser

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GASP!!!!.... me toooo *i don't have a trans emoji but believe, my phone is transphobic*)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He huffs out a quiet chuckle. “Oh, shut up.”

@simondrowinginblood

[evil transphobic phone 💔]

[simondrowinginblood]

Hey last time you tried to shut me up look were that got you

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He gives him a short little kiss. “Believe it or not,” and another, “I’m actually,” and another, “very happy,” and another, “with how this turned out.” And one more for good measure.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I don't doubt it, I'm pretty happy about this too *He grabs his face and kisses his cheek a bunch*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon giggles, wrapping his arm around Newbie’s neck and leaning into the affection.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You taste like fish hehehe *kiss kiss kiss*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Well, you better like it, because you’re stuck with me.” He kisses him again.

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh no whatever shall I doooo, I'm stuck with a pretty boy who likes me oh noooo

Truly an awful fate hehe

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Terrible, really.” He presses kisses to his cheek and along his jaw, smiling against his skin.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Alright your turn *He puts his hand on Simons face all plants kisses EVERYWHERE on his face

@s1m0n-inthedark

(This two had each other for two seconds and won't get off each other hehe :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He giggles and leans into him, relishing the affection.

@simondrowinginblood

[theyre so cute im gonna throw them back in the blood ocean /aff]

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

Colt tries to swallow his nerves as he approaches Rose, giving her a small tap on her shoulder. "Hey, Rose. Do you think you could introduce me to everyone? I, uh, don't really know how to go up to them myself."

Of course I can, Colt. I'd be happy to!

[She leads him over to Melody and Damien.]

So this is my Mama, Melody. And this is my Papa, Damien!

[She guestures to each of them when she says their name.]

Ooc: @madeofmanyfandoms is the one who does Melody

[colt-seavers-official]

"Right... okay... And they're all friendly, right?"

[rose-the-convict]

Yes, granted Mama might take a liking to you and ahem- forcefully adopt you.

That's she adopted two of the three Simons that are here right now.

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Melody looks up from where she'd been laying cuddled against Damien's chest, blinking slowly as she wakes up from her light doze. She smiles brightly at Rose once she registers her presence- "Rose, my treasure! I'm so pleased to see you! (She greets softly, doing her best not to wake Damien)

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Hi, Mama, so this is Colt. He wanted to meet you.

[She gestures to Colt, gently pushing him towards Melody.]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

He stumbles a little when Rose pushes him, but quickly steadies himself. He raises his hand to greet Melody.

"Uh, yeah. Nice to meet you," he whispers, trying not to disturb the other sleeping figure. "I sort of just... wounded up here a little while ago. I only know Simon (@simondrowinginblood), so I thought I should meet some of the other people here."

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Melody nods in understanding as she gives Colt a friendly smile- "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Colt." (She greets him warmly, also keeping her voice low as her mate sleeps)

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

He smiles lightly, wondering how to end the conversation before his eyes properly settled on the resting body nestled against Melody "That's Damien, right?"

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Melody nods, a warm smile spreading across her lips- "Yes, this is my mate Damien." (She confirms happily)

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"You two seem really good for each other. I also have a partner here, it's Simon (@simondrowinginblood). He's sort of the reason I'm still in this place. I didn't want to leave his side, you know?"

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Melody nods in agreement- "I like to think so." (She says softly) -as she gently strokes the back of Damien's hand with her thumb-

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Alright, do you want to go meet the rest of the Simons and Alec or do you wanna go meet the others?

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Um... I think I want to meet the Simons and Alec first."

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Alright.

[She leads him to the other Simons, and Alec.]

@s1m0n-inthedark

@simon-sm13-sos

@madeofmanyfandoms

Ooc: Whoever's first is the winner!!!

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Alec looks up and gives Colt a brief, friendly wave- 'ey there. It's nice tah meetcha. (He greets casually)

@colt-seavers-official

Ooc: Oops, got my reblog chains mixed up and almost broke time, but I've fixed it now!

[madeofmanyfandoms]

@colt-seavers-official

[madeofmanyfandoms]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt offers Alec a small wave, doing his best not to seem obvious in the way his eyes trail curiously over the other man, trying to get the gist of him just from appearance.

"It's nice to meet you, too," he returns with a polite smile. "So... What do you do around here, exactly?"

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Ah, nothing to interesting honestly. Mrs. Claire wants me to spend another month or two adjusting to my new form and building my strength before I join any hunting groups, so I mostly just help out wherever I can. (Alec responds calmly)

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

[Rose laughs.]

Alec, you do realize that she’s your grandmother? And you can call her Grandma? Jeez- how many times have we had this conversation?

Ooc: In case you need a refresher on Alec, and btw he’s supposed to sound Australian. Also adding full body if Rose. You notice anything about them?🤔

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Hunting groups...? You know what, I think I'm too afraid to ask. Also, I didn't realise that there was a family here. Who's related to who?"

ooc: fishhh

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Well, Rose and I aren't technically related to anyone, but Melody adopted Rose as her daughter. Claire and Steven are Melody's parents, Pete is Claire's brother and his mate, Rift, is from the Depths clan in the south. Pete and Rift have six children, technically I think. The Twins, Rough and Tumble, and Bongo are theirs biologically, they've adopted Celine and Dark, and their also taking care of Ava's egg. (Alec explains) -pausing to let Colt process the information so far-

@colt-seavers-official

Ooc: there's a bunch more where that came from!

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt's brain slowly creaked trying to piece all of what Alec just said together. It was... definitely confusing, and he probably didn't remember it all correctly, but he was just going to settle with a good enough understanding.

"Right, yeah, okay. That... mostly makes sense."

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Anti is Rose's mate, and he, JJ, Chase, Dr. Schneeplestein, Marvin and Jack are all technically the same person but also not. Damien is Melody's mate, and he also has a shit ton of dudes that are technically him but also not. (Alec continues his explanation)

@colt-seavers-official

[rose-the-convict]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

That's when Colt just gets completely lost. He blinks, completely clueless as he tries and fails miserably to understand all of what was just said.

"How can they technically be the same person...? You know what, I don't even want to try. Carry on."

[rose-the-convict]

Just think of it as a lot of twins that look the exact same besides style of clothing.

[Rose decides to take a much more direct approach.]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt throws up his hands. "Okay, I get it! Why didn't you just say that? It's just a bunch of twins, that's pretty simple."

@rose-the-convict @madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Alec raises his hands in surrender, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face- Honestly? Describing it that way never even crossed my mind. (He says either a light chuckle)

@colt-seavers-official

[rose-the-convict]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"I get that, I guess it is the dumbed down way of explaining it. But that's exactly what I need." He jokes, giving a little sheepish smile. "So... is that it or is there more to this complex family tree?"

[rose-the-convict]

Ooc: OMMLW!! I am so sorry, @colt-seavers-official !!! I saw you reblogged and didn't msg @madeofmanyfandoms , which I normally do!

[colt-seavers-official]

ooc: aha i knew i responded! it's no problem, keeping track of stuff is hella hard

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Well there's Elli, a toddler who was trapped in the eel with me before Claire managed to separate us from Bitch, the third mind that was in the eel, both physically and metaphorically. There's Jubilee, Melody's kid with Wilford by method of his severed arm and her blood. And Alastor, Anti's kid with Wilford made from Wilford's leg and Anti's blood. (Alec says simply, not even trying to sugarcoat how weird everything is)

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

All Colt can do is blink as all of this information comes at him. Of course the second he actually starts figuring stuff out, it gets a thousand times more confusing.

"I'm sorry, made from Wilford's leg and Anti's blood? How... the hell does that happen..."

[rose-the-convict]

Mana. Or magic if that's easier to understand.

[Rose states.]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Right... Sure, okay. That... totally all makes sense. Continue."

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Speaking of mana, I should probably do my exercises for the day. (Alec muses quietly) -leaning back in his chair-

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Yeah, you should.

[Rose agrees before turning back to Colt.]

Hey, you ready to meet the other Simons?

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt bites back a sigh of relief. Thank God there wasn't any more confusing family stuff he had to try to understand.

"Yeah, that sounds great."

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

[Rose nods before leading him over to one of the Simons.]

Heya Sharkie! I got someone new for you to meet!

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He turns at the sound of her voice, his fins perking up. “Hey, what’s up?”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

So, someone new kinda just appeared in the garden , said he wanted to stay here because of Newbie and asked if I could introduce everyone!

[Rose guestures to Colt.]

Colt, this is Simon, Simon, Colt.

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt narrows his eyes at the new Simon. He inspects him, trying to gauge all of the similarities between this Simon and his own. They definitely have the same face, eyes, and all, but this Simon's... fish parts are certainly enough to differentiate the two.

"Hey, Simon," he greets with a wave. "I think I've heard a bit about you from, uh, a different Simon."

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Hey,” he waves back, “I’ve heard about you too, it’s nice to meet you.”

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Nice to meet you, too." Colt tilts his head a bit to take a closer look at Simon. "Sorry if this is weird, but do you have gills? And, like, can you breathe with them? Because that would be so sick."

[rose-the-convict]

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yeah, I do!” He partially lifts up his shirt to show them, like he’s just as interested in them as Colt is, even though he’s had them for many months now. “I don’t exactly know how they work, but I can spend as much time as I want under the blood ocean without a problem.”

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Woah..." Colt leans down with his hands on his knees to stabilise himself while he curiously inspects the gills. His mouth falls agape when he sees them move slightly and he starts to reach towards them before quickly snatching his hand back.

"That is so cool. I mean, the blood ocean part not so much, but those gills are incredible. Were you born with them?"

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Nah, it’s a mutation—all of this is, actually. It’s from the blood ocean, I was just so hot she wanted to keep me.” He chuckles at his own bad joke, then grimaces as he realizes how unfunny he is.

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt laughs anyways. Bad jokes are what he lives on. "Guess you were," he jokes back. It's after a while that he realises he's still hunkered down and staring at Simon, so he quickly straightens. He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly.

"So... how'd you end up meeting everyone?"

[rose-the-convict]

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Rose found me and I guess she decided to recruit me to the family.” He shrugs. “And after being here for a while you get to know everyone.”

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"I'm gonna hope you're right. So far, the only person I really know is Simon. Uh... well, one of the Simons," he chuckles. "But I'd like to get to know you more. You seem nice and not filled with a bunch of confusing family tree stuff to talk about."

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yeah, it’s easy to get to know everyone, but I’m happy to chat. It’s nice to talk to new people every once in a while.”

@colt-seavers-official

[simondrowinginblood]

[As Simon uses the camera to navigate, he sees a tail, and the edge of what appears to be a pair of wings.]

[He can also hear some low clicking sounds.]

Ooc: Am blood siren anon!

Holy shit! *He stumbles back from the camera* what the fuck was that?!... it has wings so an Angel!?

Ooc- hi blood siren anon

[simondrowinginblood]

Do you have any idea of who or what that could be?!

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’m.. not sure.”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

[They hear giggling.]

~ᛁ ᚫᛜЦᚢᚦ YᛜЦ!~

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh, fuck off…” He huffs out a breath. “Get the fuck down.”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Awww, but it’s so much more fun to toy around with you two, especially of you being so protective of Newbie there.

[Rose says as she pops out from the tree behind them, hanging upside down from its branches.]

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

AAAAAAA!.... oh Rose, jesus you scared the shit out of me

Have you just been hanging around here?

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Yep! I was up in the trees, trimming them, and heard you two being all lovey-dovey with each other.

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon turns red. His face scrunches and his tail tightens just slightly around the other’s waist. “We were not—!”

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

We were just uh... we were being friendly, we just thought we should get to know each other better, right?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yes, yes! Go creep on someone else, Rose!”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

I’m not creepin on you two! I was literally just caring for my trees in my garden!

[She retorts playfully.]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Good point... your garden is just really amazing, I mean I didn't know there were so many kinds of trees

And he was just showing me around, well we both were exploring too but he's been leading me

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Fine fine.

[She disappears back into the trees.]

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon huffs out a laugh, shaking his head. “Sorry about that, I didn’t expect her to be so… presumptuous. Nor did I expect her to be here at all.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I mean it makes sense this is her place after all

...we don't really look that lovey dovey, Do we?

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I.. I don’t know, maybe? I’ve never seen anyone in a romantic sense, let alone been with someone, so I don’t fuckin’ know what that’s supposed to look like.” He shrugs awkwardly.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Yeah me either... should we just keep exploring? And possibly keeping our eyes out too?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Uh, yeah. Good idea. And we can continue… y’know, getting to know each other.” He chuckles, feeling awkward, then continues their walk through the orchard.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

That doesn't seem so bad, I mean we're the same person in theory but how same are we?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’ve been thinking about that—I mean, do we share the same experiences up until the SM-13? But more importantly, do we like the same things? Do we think the same way? I just—sorry,” he laughs, “I’ve kinda been thinking about it since I first met you.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Me too... what I especially want to know is how theres so many of us here, I mean it makes no sense

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I know, it shouldn’t be possible.”

“But… if you ask me, you’re my favorite out of all of us.”

[good morning! :3 im so glad its the weekend, this week has been so tiring 😭]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

This should be impossible

And I think out of everyone I've meet, your my favorite too

Not just because your my favorite to talk too

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GOOD MORNING :33 and yay weekend! you get lots of sleep!! And technically my week technically just started :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh? And what’s that supposed to mean?” He teases. “What do you like so much about me? Care to share?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Now your just fishing for compliments (pun intended) but alright

You're very kind and just so patient, two traits that seem to be really rare now a days, plus I think you care for me more then most of the people I've ever meet

Now what about you? Wanna share?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Oh, you’re so sweet, how could I resist?”

He taps his finger on his chin, pretending to think. “Well, you actually tolerate me for one, you’re nice, you’re funny, you’re agreeable, you care to ask what I want; which no one in Eden or the COI ever did, and you’re cute.” He looks down at him with a playful grin. (is this a good time to mention that i forgot to say simon is taller than him with legs lmao)

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

Ooc: Imma butt in here real quick to give visual

[s1m0n-inthedark]

[ty twin 🙏]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh wow I didn't uh... I didn't expect all that... didn't expect someone to describe me with half of those in my life

...thanks, see what I mean your very nice

Ooc- I'm so tiny!! :33 gosh I can't even except being short in here, curse being 5'5!!!

Heheh

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I’m nice because I like you a lot. If I thought you were an asshole—which you aren’t—I wouldn’t be spending so much time with you. l think you’re lovely to be around, truly.”

@simondrowinginblood

[rose-the-convict]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Thank you-.... wait you thought I was an asshole?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Well, when I first met you I was a little scared you might be.. but you’re not! You’re so kind, there’s nothing asshole-ish about you.” He slows down a bit to walk by his side instead of more in front of him.

“And even if you were an asshole, all these compliments you’ve been feeding me would make up for it.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Really? I've never been very good with compliments or anything like that, but I'm glad you like them

...I was worried you all were assholes who wanted me to do something for them, I'm glad I was wrong

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon stops dead in his tracks, stepping in front of him and grabbing him by the shoulder, leaning down just enough to make solid eye contact with him. “I would never. I would rather die than put anyone through what I went through, especially you. I know you acknowledged that you were wrong in that assumption, but.. I just want to reassure you; you mean the world to me, Simon.”

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Uh... *his eyes get watery and he starts to sniffle* I'll be holding you to it, and you mean the world to me too... uh Simon too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He pulls him into a hug, gently running his fingers through his hair. “It’s okay, you can cry if you need to.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

WAAAAAAAAA sniffle sniffle WAAAAAA *the sound of a grown man weeping!*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“It’ll be okay, Si, you’re safe with me now.” He soothes quietly, and places a kiss on the top of his head.

[im actually cackling stop LMAO 😭]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

*he clings onto him* thank you so much!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

@s1m0n-inthedark

(My boy be the biggest baby around >:33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Of course, I’d hold you all day if I have to.” He continues to rake his fingers through his curls and massage his scalp, occasionally whispering words he hopes are comforting.

[oh this poor little man with issues]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You know *sniffle sniffle* your very good at this whole comfort thing

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Heh, thank you. I was a little worried I wouldn’t be able to help.”

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[only re-mentioning u cuz i think it mightve gotten lost but take ur time dawg :3

also im still tweakin omfg thank you. again. sofuckingmuch]

[simondrowinginblood]

Of course you would, were you not listening when I was telling you how amazing you are? I would be suprised if you couldn't help

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GAH!!! I always see the notifications but then completely forgot about it!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I guess I underestimate myself, thanks for reminding me.” He steps away slightly to look down at him, a soft smile on his face. He brings his hand to Newbie’s cheek and wipes away a stray tear with his thumb.

@simondrowinginblood

[lmao thats so fair i do that too 😭]

[simondrowinginblood]

Thank you

But what you are is to humble, again another rare trait

Is there even anything bad about you?

@s1m0n-inthedark

(In my defense im not used to people actually wanting to interact with me here, even on my main :33 YAY LOVE PEOPLE!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“There’s a lot of things that are bad about me. I’m impulsive, paranoid, anxious, irritable, the list goes on.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Those aren't that bad, and I think the good cancels it out

Besides nothing wrong with things that keep you alive

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I can compliment you all day buddy don't even try me >:33 )

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He sighs, already giving in. “Okay, sure. You win.”

@simondrowinginblood

[FUCKKKDBENEG I DIDNT SEE THIS NOTIF 2 HOURS AGO]

[simondrowinginblood]

I'm glad we could finally came to an agreement *He pats Simon's face*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Don’t pat me like that.” He scoffs jokingly, as a smile creeps onto his face.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Nothing wrong with being friendly every now and then

I thought you liked that part of me? going back of your word already *he had a little shit grin on his face*

@s1m0n-inthedark >:33 hehe

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I never said there was anything wrong with it, now you’re just twisting my words. And I do like that part of you. I like every part of you, even when you fuck around with me like you are now.” He inches closer, almost unnoticeably.

@simondrowinginblood

[oh what are you starting now you short little bastard /silly]

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh but whatever do you mean? I would never do such a thing *he bats his eyes like the little shit he is*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Hehe >:33 noooothing, what are you staring you tall baster/ silly silly)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He cocks his head at him. “I don’t trust that for a second. What are you trying to do?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Maybe I'm testing boundaries, maybe I'm seeing how far I can push that patients of yours

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Either way, I think you’ll find the answer you’re looking for.” He says with a smirk.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I will? How so?... what's that smirk for?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“What, did you lose some of that confidence you just had? What happened to ‘testing boundaries’ or ‘seeing how far you can push my patience’?” He steps forward, closing more of that small amount of distance between them.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... what are you uh.. I have uh no idea... uhhh

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Gay gay homosexual gay 🤨 /silly hehehehehe :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Fish got your tongue? Hm?”

@simondrowinginblood

[HOMOSEXUAL ALERT‼️‼️‼️🚨🚨]

[simondrowinginblood]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh *he becomes like the brightest shade of red ever*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GAY ALERT!!!! WEEEEEEWOOOOOWEEEEWOOOO!!!!!! THE GAY BROKE LITTLE SIMON!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Use your words, Si.” He coos teasingly, blushing a bit himself.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You uhh... you are uhhh segdkiusuc...... uh

....your very close

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I am.” His teasing grin falters for a moment as a serious look falls onto his face. “Is that okay? Do you want me to move?”

@simondrowinginblood

[consent is sexy guys☝️]

[simondrowinginblood]

Pffff it's not like... it's don't matter... I mean you can do whatever you....

....your fine

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Consent is the most SEXY☝️☝️)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon slowly slides his hand under his chin. “Are you sure? I need a proper yes or no, pretty please.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Eek!

Uhh........

....yes

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I fell asleep :< i might fall asleep again too

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Okay, if you change your mind just let me know.” He slides in closer, their faces now just inches away. “Now what was that you were being so cocky about earlier?”

@simondrowinginblood

[its alr!! im bummed its sunday tho 💔 i wanna sit in bed on tumblr all day, but then the workdays roll back in and i gotta do shit like a normal individual 🫩]

[simondrowinginblood]

I have no uh idea what you're talking about

....sorry

@s1m0n-inthedark

(I KNOW!!! :( I've been working extra early shift this week then I have a 9 hour shift tomorrow then I gotta be at an event all day after that, I JUST WANNA SNUGGLE UP AND SLEEP!!!!)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Not a clue, huh? That’s okay, you make up for it with how pretty.. you… are……” Simon’s entire face turns red as the realization of what he’s saying and how close they are finally hits him. He tries to sputter out an apology or something, but the words get caught in his throat. He doesn’t dar back away though.

@simondrowinginblood

[augh good luck dawg 😭]

[simondrowinginblood]

Uh!... you think I'm pretty?!

...well were the same person so a bit egotistical there but still, you really think so?! You're pretty too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I, uh. Yeah. I think you’re really pretty.” He chuckles a little nervously. “Thank you.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I even like the fishy feathers... actually I've been thinking about this all day *he hesitantly pokes one of the fins on your head* boop

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He hums, and his fins give a small twitch.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

They move!? Wow you're extraordinary *he uses both his hands with mess and poke at the fins*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(....I'm not very good at keeping the hella gay tension, I just wanna poke :3)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He chuckles and turns his head to the side for better access. “Just don’t yank on them or something.”

@simondrowinginblood

[lolol fins r fun :3]

[simondrowinginblood]

I would never even dream about hurting you in any way, even if you wanna get real close and basically kill me

Do they help you swim or something? They really are a nice color too

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Would I sound dumb if I said I have no clue? Because I don’t know why they’re there.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

...I guess you didn't exactly always have them, but I still like them they're nice to look at even if they come from that fucking ocean

It adds to the charm.... and you still very close... hi

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He chuckles. “I am, I’m glad you noticed.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

It's kinda hard not to notice...

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yeah, I figured. You haven’t been complaining, though.”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Touche but you've only been coming closer

Not exactly innocent either

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I have no clue what you’re talking about.” He lies.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Really then? Well if thats the case you wouldn't mind if I just leand away, now would you? Hmmmm?

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I never said that.” He frowns, pulling him closer.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Pfff heheh that's what I thought... pretty

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Shut up.” He says with a joking scoff, blushing.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

But it's true, pretty pretty pretty pretty *he pats his face* pretty

@s1m0n-inthedark

>:33

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Uhg, you’re insufferable.” He lies. Again. Very obviously, as he is as red as a tomato.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Am I? well what are you gonna do about it *this simon was no better, he was red as shit too*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He bites his lip, his sharp teeth digging into his own skin, as he holds back what he wanted to say at first thought. “…What do you want me to do about it?”

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

What do you want to do about it

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He swallows thickly, nervousness fueling the heat burning across his face. “Uhm …shut you up.” He mumbles, hardly audible, if at all.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

What was that? I couldn't hear you

@s1m0n-inthedark

(When the slow burn lowkey takes 385 reblogs /silly silly)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“I want to kiss you.” He blurts. “Like, so fucking bad, it’s driving me insane. You make me insane.”

@simondrowinginblood

[LMAO i just love me a slow burn, its all i read :3]

[simondrowinginblood]

...I mean if you want it so badly who am I to say no

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Without missing a beat, Simon pulls him in, smashing their lips together and moving his hand to the back of his neck to press him closer.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

*Other Simon wrapped his arms around him and kissed him back*

@s1m0n-inthedark

(Heheh kiss kiss)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Uhh fuck idk. Smooching noises.

@simondrowinginblood

[i feel like im in elementary school again playing barbies with my friend and smushing them together]

[simondrowinginblood]

Kiss kiss mwah mwah .3.

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He pulls away just barely enough to catch his breath, looking at him with wide pupils and half-lidded eyes. “Fuck, you’re so pretty it hurts.”

@simondrowinginblood

[now that i think abt it, i was always the ken doll….. (🏳️‍⚧️)]

[simondrowinginblood]

I think I should be saying that

You know for a fish you aren't a bad kisser

@s1m0n-inthedark

(GASP!!!!.... me toooo *i don't have a trans emoji but believe, my phone is transphobic*)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He huffs out a quiet chuckle. “Oh, shut up.”

@simondrowinginblood

[evil transphobic phone 💔]

[simondrowinginblood]

Hey last time you tried to shut me up look were that got you

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He gives him a short little kiss. “Believe it or not,” and another, “I’m actually,” and another, “very happy,” and another, “with how this turned out.” And one more for good measure.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

I don't doubt it, I'm pretty happy about this too *He grabs his face and kisses his cheek a bunch*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

Simon giggles, wrapping his arm around Newbie’s neck and leaning into the affection.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

You taste like fish hehehe *kiss kiss kiss*

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Well, you better like it, because you’re stuck with me.” He kisses him again.

@simondrowinginblood

[s1m0n-inthedark]

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Oh no whatever shall I doooo, I'm stuck with a pretty boy who likes me oh noooo

Truly an awful fate hehe

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Terrible, really.” He presses kisses to his cheek and along his jaw, smiling against his skin.

@simondrowinginblood

[simondrowinginblood]

Alright your turn *He puts his hand on Simons face all plants kisses EVERYWHERE on his face

@s1m0n-inthedark

(This two had each other for two seconds and won't get off each other hehe :33)

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He giggles and leans into him, relishing the affection.

@simondrowinginblood

[theyre so cute im gonna throw them back in the blood ocean /aff]

[rose-the-convict]

Colt tries to swallow his nerves as he approaches Rose, giving her a small tap on her shoulder. "Hey, Rose. Do you think you could introduce me to everyone? I, uh, don't really know how to go up to them myself."

Of course I can, Colt. I'd be happy to!

[She leads him over to Melody and Damien.]

So this is my Mama, Melody. And this is my Papa, Damien!

[She guestures to each of them when she says their name.]

Ooc: @madeofmanyfandoms is the one who does Melody

[colt-seavers-official]

"Right... okay... And they're all friendly, right?"

[rose-the-convict]

Yes, granted Mama might take a liking to you and ahem- forcefully adopt you.

That's she adopted two of the three Simons that are here right now.

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Melody looks up from where she'd been laying cuddled against Damien's chest, blinking slowly as she wakes up from her light doze. She smiles brightly at Rose once she registers her presence- "Rose, my treasure! I'm so pleased to see you! (She greets softly, doing her best not to wake Damien)

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Hi, Mama, so this is Colt. He wanted to meet you.

[She gestures to Colt, gently pushing him towards Melody.]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

He stumbles a little when Rose pushes him, but quickly steadies himself. He raises his hand to greet Melody.

"Uh, yeah. Nice to meet you," he whispers, trying not to disturb the other sleeping figure. "I sort of just... wounded up here a little while ago. I only know Simon (@simondrowinginblood), so I thought I should meet some of the other people here."

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Melody nods in understanding as she gives Colt a friendly smile- "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Colt." (She greets him warmly, also keeping her voice low as her mate sleeps)

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

He smiles lightly, wondering how to end the conversation before his eyes properly settled on the resting body nestled against Melody "That's Damien, right?"

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Melody nods, a warm smile spreading across her lips- "Yes, this is my mate Damien." (She confirms happily)

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"You two seem really good for each other. I also have a partner here, it's Simon (@simondrowinginblood). He's sort of the reason I'm still in this place. I didn't want to leave his side, you know?"

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Melody nods in agreement- "I like to think so." (She says softly) -as she gently strokes the back of Damien's hand with her thumb-

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Alright, do you want to go meet the rest of the Simons and Alec or do you wanna go meet the others?

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Um... I think I want to meet the Simons and Alec first."

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Alright.

[She leads him to the other Simons, and Alec.]

@s1m0n-inthedark

@simon-sm13-sos

@madeofmanyfandoms

Ooc: Whoever's first is the winner!!!

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Alec looks up and gives Colt a brief, friendly wave- 'ey there. It's nice tah meetcha. (He greets casually)

@colt-seavers-official

Ooc: Oops, got my reblog chains mixed up and almost broke time, but I've fixed it now!

[madeofmanyfandoms]

@colt-seavers-official

[madeofmanyfandoms]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt offers Alec a small wave, doing his best not to seem obvious in the way his eyes trail curiously over the other man, trying to get the gist of him just from appearance.

"It's nice to meet you, too," he returns with a polite smile. "So... What do you do around here, exactly?"

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Ah, nothing to interesting honestly. Mrs. Claire wants me to spend another month or two adjusting to my new form and building my strength before I join any hunting groups, so I mostly just help out wherever I can. (Alec responds calmly)

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

[Rose laughs.]

Alec, you do realize that she’s your grandmother? And you can call her Grandma? Jeez- how many times have we had this conversation?

Ooc: In case you need a refresher on Alec, and btw he’s supposed to sound Australian. Also adding full body if Rose. You notice anything about them?🤔

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Hunting groups...? You know what, I think I'm too afraid to ask. Also, I didn't realise that there was a family here. Who's related to who?"

ooc: fishhh

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Well, Rose and I aren't technically related to anyone, but Melody adopted Rose as her daughter. Claire and Steven are Melody's parents, Pete is Claire's brother and his mate, Rift, is from the Depths clan in the south. Pete and Rift have six children, technically I think. The Twins, Rough and Tumble, and Bongo are theirs biologically, they've adopted Celine and Dark, and their also taking care of Ava's egg. (Alec explains) -pausing to let Colt process the information so far-

@colt-seavers-official

Ooc: there's a bunch more where that came from!

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt's brain slowly creaked trying to piece all of what Alec just said together. It was... definitely confusing, and he probably didn't remember it all correctly, but he was just going to settle with a good enough understanding.

"Right, yeah, okay. That... mostly makes sense."

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Anti is Rose's mate, and he, JJ, Chase, Dr. Schneeplestein, Marvin and Jack are all technically the same person but also not. Damien is Melody's mate, and he also has a shit ton of dudes that are technically him but also not. (Alec continues his explanation)

@colt-seavers-official

[rose-the-convict]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

That's when Colt just gets completely lost. He blinks, completely clueless as he tries and fails miserably to understand all of what was just said.

"How can they technically be the same person...? You know what, I don't even want to try. Carry on."

[rose-the-convict]

Just think of it as a lot of twins that look the exact same besides style of clothing.

[Rose decides to take a much more direct approach.]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt throws up his hands. "Okay, I get it! Why didn't you just say that? It's just a bunch of twins, that's pretty simple."

@rose-the-convict @madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Alec raises his hands in surrender, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face- Honestly? Describing it that way never even crossed my mind. (He says either a light chuckle)

@colt-seavers-official

[rose-the-convict]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"I get that, I guess it is the dumbed down way of explaining it. But that's exactly what I need." He jokes, giving a little sheepish smile. "So... is that it or is there more to this complex family tree?"

[rose-the-convict]

Ooc: OMMLW!! I am so sorry, @colt-seavers-official !!! I saw you reblogged and didn't msg @madeofmanyfandoms , which I normally do!

[colt-seavers-official]

ooc: aha i knew i responded! it's no problem, keeping track of stuff is hella hard

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Well there's Elli, a toddler who was trapped in the eel with me before Claire managed to separate us from Bitch, the third mind that was in the eel, both physically and metaphorically. There's Jubilee, Melody's kid with Wilford by method of his severed arm and her blood. And Alastor, Anti's kid with Wilford made from Wilford's leg and Anti's blood. (Alec says simply, not even trying to sugarcoat how weird everything is)

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

All Colt can do is blink as all of this information comes at him. Of course the second he actually starts figuring stuff out, it gets a thousand times more confusing.

"I'm sorry, made from Wilford's leg and Anti's blood? How... the hell does that happen..."

[rose-the-convict]

Mana. Or magic if that's easier to understand.

[Rose states.]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Right... Sure, okay. That... totally all makes sense. Continue."

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Speaking of mana, I should probably do my exercises for the day. (Alec muses quietly) -leaning back in his chair-

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Yeah, you should.

[Rose agrees before turning back to Colt.]

Hey, you ready to meet the other Simons?

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt bites back a sigh of relief. Thank God there wasn't any more confusing family stuff he had to try to understand.

"Yeah, that sounds great."

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

[Rose nods before leading him over to one of the Simons.]

Heya Sharkie! I got someone new for you to meet!

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He turns at the sound of her voice, his fins perking up. “Hey, what’s up?”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

So, someone new kinda just appeared in the garden , said he wanted to stay here because of Newbie and asked if I could introduce everyone!

[Rose guestures to Colt.]

Colt, this is Simon, Simon, Colt.

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt narrows his eyes at the new Simon. He inspects him, trying to gauge all of the similarities between this Simon and his own. They definitely have the same face, eyes, and all, but this Simon's... fish parts are certainly enough to differentiate the two.

"Hey, Simon," he greets with a wave. "I think I've heard a bit about you from, uh, a different Simon."

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Hey,” he waves back, “I’ve heard about you too, it’s nice to meet you.”

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Nice to meet you, too." Colt tilts his head a bit to take a closer look at Simon. "Sorry if this is weird, but do you have gills? And, like, can you breathe with them? Because that would be so sick."

[rose-the-convict]

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yeah, I do!” He partially lifts up his shirt to show them, like he’s just as interested in them as Colt is, even though he’s had them for many months now. “I don’t exactly know how they work, but I can spend as much time as I want under the blood ocean without a problem.”

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Woah..." Colt leans down with his hands on his knees to stabilise himself while he curiously inspects the gills. His mouth falls agape when he sees them move slightly and he starts to reach towards them before quickly snatching his hand back.

"That is so cool. I mean, the blood ocean part not so much, but those gills are incredible. Were you born with them?"

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Nah, it’s a mutation—all of this is, actually. It’s from the blood ocean, I was just so hot she wanted to keep me.” He chuckles at his own bad joke, then grimaces as he realizes how unfunny he is.

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt laughs anyways. Bad jokes are what he lives on. "Guess you were," he jokes back. It's after a while that he realises he's still hunkered down and staring at Simon, so he quickly straightens. He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly.

"So... how'd you end up meeting everyone?"

[rose-the-convict]

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Rose found me and I guess she decided to recruit me to the family.” He shrugs. “And after being here for a while you get to know everyone.”

Colt tries to swallow his nerves as he approaches Rose, giving her a small tap on her shoulder. "Hey, Rose. Do you think you could introduce me to everyone? I, uh, don't really know how to go up to them myself."

Of course I can, Colt. I'd be happy to!

[She leads him over to Melody and Damien.]

So this is my Mama, Melody. And this is my Papa, Damien!

[She guestures to each of them when she says their name.]

Ooc: @madeofmanyfandoms is the one who does Melody

[colt-seavers-official]

"Right... okay... And they're all friendly, right?"

[rose-the-convict]

Yes, granted Mama might take a liking to you and ahem- forcefully adopt you.

That's she adopted two of the three Simons that are here right now.

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Melody looks up from where she'd been laying cuddled against Damien's chest, blinking slowly as she wakes up from her light doze. She smiles brightly at Rose once she registers her presence- "Rose, my treasure! I'm so pleased to see you! (She greets softly, doing her best not to wake Damien)

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Hi, Mama, so this is Colt. He wanted to meet you.

[She gestures to Colt, gently pushing him towards Melody.]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

He stumbles a little when Rose pushes him, but quickly steadies himself. He raises his hand to greet Melody.

"Uh, yeah. Nice to meet you," he whispers, trying not to disturb the other sleeping figure. "I sort of just... wounded up here a little while ago. I only know Simon (@simondrowinginblood), so I thought I should meet some of the other people here."

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Melody nods in understanding as she gives Colt a friendly smile- "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Colt." (She greets him warmly, also keeping her voice low as her mate sleeps)

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

He smiles lightly, wondering how to end the conversation before his eyes properly settled on the resting body nestled against Melody "That's Damien, right?"

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Melody nods, a warm smile spreading across her lips- "Yes, this is my mate Damien." (She confirms happily)

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"You two seem really good for each other. I also have a partner here, it's Simon (@simondrowinginblood). He's sort of the reason I'm still in this place. I didn't want to leave his side, you know?"

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Melody nods in agreement- "I like to think so." (She says softly) -as she gently strokes the back of Damien's hand with her thumb-

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Alright, do you want to go meet the rest of the Simons and Alec or do you wanna go meet the others?

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Um... I think I want to meet the Simons and Alec first."

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Alright.

[She leads him to the other Simons, and Alec.]

@s1m0n-inthedark

@simon-sm13-sos

@madeofmanyfandoms

Ooc: Whoever's first is the winner!!!

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Alec looks up and gives Colt a brief, friendly wave- 'ey there. It's nice tah meetcha. (He greets casually)

@colt-seavers-official

Ooc: Oops, got my reblog chains mixed up and almost broke time, but I've fixed it now!

[madeofmanyfandoms]

@colt-seavers-official

[madeofmanyfandoms]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt offers Alec a small wave, doing his best not to seem obvious in the way his eyes trail curiously over the other man, trying to get the gist of him just from appearance.

"It's nice to meet you, too," he returns with a polite smile. "So... What do you do around here, exactly?"

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Ah, nothing to interesting honestly. Mrs. Claire wants me to spend another month or two adjusting to my new form and building my strength before I join any hunting groups, so I mostly just help out wherever I can. (Alec responds calmly)

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

[Rose laughs.]

Alec, you do realize that she’s your grandmother? And you can call her Grandma? Jeez- how many times have we had this conversation?

Ooc: In case you need a refresher on Alec, and btw he’s supposed to sound Australian. Also adding full body if Rose. You notice anything about them?🤔

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Hunting groups...? You know what, I think I'm too afraid to ask. Also, I didn't realise that there was a family here. Who's related to who?"

ooc: fishhh

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Well, Rose and I aren't technically related to anyone, but Melody adopted Rose as her daughter. Claire and Steven are Melody's parents, Pete is Claire's brother and his mate, Rift, is from the Depths clan in the south. Pete and Rift have six children, technically I think. The Twins, Rough and Tumble, and Bongo are theirs biologically, they've adopted Celine and Dark, and their also taking care of Ava's egg. (Alec explains) -pausing to let Colt process the information so far-

@colt-seavers-official

Ooc: there's a bunch more where that came from!

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt's brain slowly creaked trying to piece all of what Alec just said together. It was... definitely confusing, and he probably didn't remember it all correctly, but he was just going to settle with a good enough understanding.

"Right, yeah, okay. That... mostly makes sense."

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Anti is Rose's mate, and he, JJ, Chase, Dr. Schneeplestein, Marvin and Jack are all technically the same person but also not. Damien is Melody's mate, and he also has a shit ton of dudes that are technically him but also not. (Alec continues his explanation)

@colt-seavers-official

[rose-the-convict]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

That's when Colt just gets completely lost. He blinks, completely clueless as he tries and fails miserably to understand all of what was just said.

"How can they technically be the same person...? You know what, I don't even want to try. Carry on."

[rose-the-convict]

Just think of it as a lot of twins that look the exact same besides style of clothing.

[Rose decides to take a much more direct approach.]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt throws up his hands. "Okay, I get it! Why didn't you just say that? It's just a bunch of twins, that's pretty simple."

@rose-the-convict @madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

-Alec raises his hands in surrender, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face- Honestly? Describing it that way never even crossed my mind. (He says either a light chuckle)

@colt-seavers-official

[rose-the-convict]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"I get that, I guess it is the dumbed down way of explaining it. But that's exactly what I need." He jokes, giving a little sheepish smile. "So... is that it or is there more to this complex family tree?"

[rose-the-convict]

Ooc: OMMLW!! I am so sorry, @colt-seavers-official !!! I saw you reblogged and didn't msg @madeofmanyfandoms , which I normally do!

[colt-seavers-official]

ooc: aha i knew i responded! it's no problem, keeping track of stuff is hella hard

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Well there's Elli, a toddler who was trapped in the eel with me before Claire managed to separate us from Bitch, the third mind that was in the eel, both physically and metaphorically. There's Jubilee, Melody's kid with Wilford by method of his severed arm and her blood. And Alastor, Anti's kid with Wilford made from Wilford's leg and Anti's blood. (Alec says simply, not even trying to sugarcoat how weird everything is)

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

All Colt can do is blink as all of this information comes at him. Of course the second he actually starts figuring stuff out, it gets a thousand times more confusing.

"I'm sorry, made from Wilford's leg and Anti's blood? How... the hell does that happen..."

[rose-the-convict]

Mana. Or magic if that's easier to understand.

[Rose states.]

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Right... Sure, okay. That... totally all makes sense. Continue."

@madeofmanyfandoms

[madeofmanyfandoms]

Speaking of mana, I should probably do my exercises for the day. (Alec muses quietly) -leaning back in his chair-

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

Yeah, you should.

[Rose agrees before turning back to Colt.]

Hey, you ready to meet the other Simons?

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt bites back a sigh of relief. Thank God there wasn't any more confusing family stuff he had to try to understand.

"Yeah, that sounds great."

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

[Rose nods before leading him over to one of the Simons.]

Heya Sharkie! I got someone new for you to meet!

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

He turns at the sound of her voice, his fins perking up. “Hey, what’s up?”

@rose-the-convict

[rose-the-convict]

So, someone new kinda just appeared in the garden , said he wanted to stay here because of Newbie and asked if I could introduce everyone!

[Rose guestures to Colt.]

Colt, this is Simon, Simon, Colt.

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

Colt narrows his eyes at the new Simon. He inspects him, trying to gauge all of the similarities between this Simon and his own. They definitely have the same face, eyes, and all, but this Simon's... fish parts are certainly enough to differentiate the two.

"Hey, Simon," he greets with a wave. "I think I've heard a bit about you from, uh, a different Simon."

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Hey,” he waves back, “I’ve heard about you too, it’s nice to meet you.”

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Nice to meet you, too." Colt tilts his head a bit to take a closer look at Simon. "Sorry if this is weird, but do you have gills? And, like, can you breathe with them? Because that would be so sick."

[rose-the-convict]

@s1m0n-inthedark

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Yeah, I do!” He partially lifts up his shirt to show them, like he’s just as interested in them as Colt is, even though he’s had them for many months now. “I don’t exactly know how they work, but I can spend as much time as I want under the blood ocean without a problem.”

@colt-seavers-official

[colt-seavers-official]

"Woah..." Colt leans down with his hands on his knees to stabilise himself while he curiously inspects the gills. His mouth falls agape when he sees them move slightly and he starts to reach towards them before quickly snatching his hand back.

"That is so cool. I mean, the blood ocean part not so much, but those gills are incredible. Were you born with them?"

[s1m0n-inthedark]

“Nah, it’s a mutation—all of this is, actually. It’s from the blood ocean, I was just so hot she wanted to keep me.” He chuckles at his own bad joke, then grimaces as he realizes how unfunny he is.

@colt-seavers-official

[s1m0n-inthedark]

It has been a long time since she vanished, i was four at the time....yet i still bearly remember her

@daughterofthebutcher

He nods, though he knows the gesture goes unseen. “I know what you mean…”

[rose-the-convict]

Colt tries to swallow his nerves as he approaches Rose, giving her a small tap on her shoulder. "Hey, Rose. Do you think you could introduce me to everyone? I, uh, don't really know how to go up to them myself."

Of course I can, Colt. I'd be happy to!

[She leads him over to Melody and Damien.]

So this is my Mama, Melody. And this is my Papa, Damien!

[She guestures to each of them when she says their name.]

Ooc: @madeofmanyfandoms is the one who does Melody

[colt-seavers-official]

"Right... okay... And they're all friendly, right?"

[s1m0n-inthedark]

*Yanara walks to back of submarine, sits down, hugs knees and start crying* i.....i know...it seem selfish....i just want back home....

@daughterofthebutcher

“…I’m sorry. I understand, I shouldn’t have yelled.” He moves out from in front of the sub and floats next to it.

i know that's a big risk, Orion....trust me on this
