Chum with a special little human in their small boat for 1 that gave him some cooked fish because they noticed something was protecting them? 🥺 just threw it out to sea, no questions asked ❤️❤️❤️
Hehe I really liked this one >w< More people should give me asks for Chum. It's one of my favorites!
Chum wasn’t 100% sure why it decided to help out this little boat. Maybe because the person in it was so… small? They had just a small, little boat in a big blue ocean.
If a wave hit the boat, it would make the boat shake a little. If there was a way too big wave, Chum knew it would crash or even tip over. Why were they in such a small boat? Well, Chum knew why! They needed food, huh?
It decided to help.
It watched and made sure that the boat wouldn’t tip over! If it saw the boat tip too far to one side, it would use one of its many tentacles, righting it so the boat wouldn’t fall over.
The person in the boat didn’t notice it at all. Even though Chum was huge, it was an ambush predator. It moves silently, unnoticed, until the lights come on, then the water gets filled with a bright, blue glow, and you know that it has already caught you.
It normally uses its large tentacles to crash ships. It knows that people know it, too. It has heard legends—people talking about the dangerous glow that shows up and how you should be prepared to crash land… if you’re even alive that long.
At least, that’s what it thought. It realized that maybe the person in the ship did notice that it was helping because, out of nowhere, they threw in their largest catch of the day. The fish was cooked, so it knew that it wasn’t an accident. “Thank you for helping me!” They called out, their words being carried by the salty sea air.
Chum slowly moved his hands to catch the food. It might have been huge to the little human, but to it, the fish was nothing but a sliver. Anyway, it ate the food, and it tasted better than anything that it could have caught. Why? Because it was made for it! The food was made just for it to have, to thank it for helping them.
It was made with love.
And after that, it followed the ship as close to land as it could, wanting to see the human get off safely, and once they did, it swam away, back to the cliff that it calls its home. It was going to pay… very close attention to this human.
