Oh oh! What about "I just don't want to be alone." With a big scary looking Cecaelia (mer octopus) reader who looks intimidating yeah but finally shows a little vunerability to say DF JJ who only know them as Jack's big scary friend that attacks things that get too close to the cave that Jack stays in. Just big scary reader known for attacking Intruders being all vunerable and soft with a v intimidated JJ who's trying to be nice in return (I'm a sucker for this stuff lol)
Ohhh that’s what they’re called?? :O I had no idea! Thank you for telling me that though ^w^
Also this will be the last prompt for now!……..
“Jamie? Could you come here for a second?”
Jameson tensed up when he heard his name being called, and he looked in your direction to see you sitting on the beach’s shore. Your black octopus legs were curled around you self-consciously.
Even though you intimidated everyone and fiercely defended Jack’s cove, you always had a soft spot around the sweet male Banshee. For some reason..to think that he was frightened by you made you a little sad at times. Even you could see it in his eyes whenever you talked to him and he signed back.
But he did come over when you asked him to, standing there nervously. He was hoping to get over his fear of being around you and be as polite and kind as he possibly could.
Surely if Jack wasn’t afraid of you, then why should he be?
Once you looked his way, he began signing, “What do you need, my friend?”
“Oh nothing,” you smiled reassuringly. “I just..don’t want to be alone here on this beach.”
“Oh! You..want some company then? I’d be happy to oblige!” Smiling back, Jameson sat down on a flat boulder, looking out at the waves with you.
After a few moments, you spoke up once more. “It’s probably rare for you to be at peace for once.”
He nodded in understanding, frowning as he hugged his knees to his chest, the chains wrapped around him rattling with his movements. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed one of your tentacles moving behind him and he tensed up again.
“I..I’m just gonna bring you a bit closer to me, okay?” You told him softly. “I’m not gonna pick you up or anything.”
Jameson didn’t respond, although he took a few deep breaths and relaxed his shoulders as he felt you wrap the appendage gently around his torso, before he was tugged closer to you. Then you released him and put an arm over his shoulders.
You smiled. “See? That wasn’t so bad, was it?”
He shook his head and let out a quiet sigh of content as he wrapped an arm around your back. After that, he nervously rested his head on your shoulder. But soon enough the fear subsided as he became calmer and snuggled closer to you, finally comfortable enough to be in your presence.
