Thinking about the Octavinelle trio being fascinated by their partners human legs...
Floyd is the most vocal about his fascination. Whenever you're simply relaxing- wether that be in public or private- he's quick to put his hands on your legs. He's unashamed about his curiosity, poking and prodding the appendages like they don't have any sensation. The first time you allowed him to just play with your legs he dug his fingers into your calves like he was trying to tenderize meat.
The only plus side to the jabbing was that it could occasionally act akin to a wonky massage.
He especially likes your thighs and the curve of your bum. They're just so squishy and soft, unlike anything he had ever squeezed in the sea. Sometimes when you're wearing shorts he randomly places his head on your thighs, tracing little coral shapes into your skin. It's one of the few serene moments Floyd enjoys.
The more time you spend with him the bolder he gets with his gestures. The two of you could be sitting in the courtyard, middle of broad daylight, when he suddenly decides to grab onto your thigh and squeeze it with his overly large hands. The unceremonious squeal you let out certainly turned a few heads.
He begins to gnaw on your supple skin, sharp teeth digging just deep enough to leave marks but not break through skin. Safe to say, you can not wear anything that shows off your legs.
Although, its honestly cute how into your legs of all things he seems to be.
Jade is less outright about his interest in your legs, however he makes it very clear that the appendages fasinate him. If you even show the slightest sliver of skin around him he'll stare. He doesn't comment on the bare nature of them but you can tell that they have an affect on him with how quiet he becomes. His eyes go a little wide, admiring the limbs natural movement.
It's so strange too, considering its only your legs that seem to intrigue him so. Especially weird since he now has his own pair of legs as well.
However when the two of you are in private he is all up on your legs. He likes holding them in his lap, examining them like they're a recently discovered species of mushroom. He especially loves the texture your thighs. The way they contort under his fingertips is so extremely different compared to the slick of a merfolk's tail. They're tender and moldable, unlike anthing he had ever encountered in the depths.
How in the Coral Sea could you blame him for being curious?
As your bond grows Jade also becomes increasingly more captivated by your human parts. If you are ever laying on his bed he'll act like your legs are his property. He'll sit in between them, twirling around your ankles and knees with awe in his eyes. Its as if he's trying to see how far your limbs will bend without causing discomfort. He makes comments on how enthralling it is to see how much a human body can endure.
You think he's just trying to measure your pain level. Alas, you wouldn't love this leech otherwise.
Azul doesn't want you to know that he's practically in love with your legs. He finds it shameful, admiring something so mundane in the grand scheme of things. Your legs have been with you since you were born, yet he's out here entranced like a young mermaid longing for the human realm. So when the two of you begin to date he does not let any of his fascination show.
Yet, Azul cannot hide his desires for long, and he begins to subtly show appreciation to your legs of all things.
Whenever you wear anything that shows off even a sliver of your lower limbs your boyfriend is quick to compliment you. He'll continuously comment on them, saying how lovely you look and how you should wear clothing like this more often. It seems he doesn't even realize how enthusiastic he is about it either, with how his eyes sparkle and gaze lingers on your legs.
Eventually though, he outright begins to fond over your legs. If you two are ever seated on a couch together he'll put your legs on his lap and massage them, free of charge. It confuses you at first, but you come to realize this was an intimate moment for him. Being so close to something so unfamiliar to him.
Azul loves to lay on your legs. He finds the plush flesh to be softer than any sea bed he has ever laid on. He places his head on your thighs, fingers wrapping around your calf and lightly- soothingly- scratching the muscle. Before bed he always makes sure to press small, lingering, kisses to the tender skin, thanking him for allowing him to do this before drifting off to slumber. He's so gentle with your legs it could make you cry.

Rook Hunt
The soft lighting from your salt lamp bathed the room in a dreamy glow. On your desk lay your new collection of glimmering crystals, rose quartz, obsidian, all lined up neatly for your late night stream.
You held up a gorgeous amethyst to the camera, smiling as your chat scrolled rapidly in excitement.
“This one right here helps with stress and anxiety.” you explained, brushing your fingers over the stone.
Chat:
muzume: soooo pretty!!
swagdreamcat: your voice is so calming 🧘
gay-tomcat: do a tarot pull!!
alby-rei: tell us our fate 👀
jen_jen: is that a new deck?? it looks GORGEOUS
You reached for the deck beside you. “Yep! This one is new! And also has little cat paws on it. I figured we could do a quick pull later….”
You suddenly laughed mid sentence, eyes skimming over a very bold message in chat.
You read it aloud, mostly for the drama “‘Are you single, or are you looking for a good time tonight? 😉’”
Brows arched, you set the tarot deck down slowly and tilted your head toward the camera, deadpan. “I’m not sure if this is the right stream for that energy, my guy.”
Chat:
Neko: OOP!!
gay-tomcat: did he just shoot his shot
jen_jen: lmaooo not during crystal hour
muzume: bro got NO shame 💀💀💀
Just as you were about to move on, a fwip! sound sliced through the quiet.
You blinked. And then… thwack!
A suction cup arrow suddenly landed on the wall behind you. Stuck to it was a paper, with a single handwritten word "No."
You stared at it.
Chat exploded.
Chat:
muzume: WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL JUST HAPPENED?!?
alby-rei: WAS THAT AN ARROW???
swagdreamcat: DID SOMEONE JUST SHOOT A MESSAGE AT HER WALL??
jen_jen: "NO"??
gay-tomcat: WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY OMG
Neko: REVEAL THE ARROW SENDER
You turned back to the camera with a completely straight face, biting back a smile. “That… was a sign from the universe.”
Chat:
Neko: NAHHH WHO DID THAT
swagdreamcat: “A sign from the universe” she says while there's a literal arrow in her WALL
jen_jen: we are NOT letting this slide
gay-tomcat: it’s giving scary boyfriend energy
muzume: no way she doesn’t have a man
You reached over and casually peeled the arrow from the wall, inspecting it like it was just a regular Tuesday. “Happens all the time.”
But then…
A voice, smooth like velvet and echoed from somewhere behind the camera. “Forgive me, ma chérie. The angle was slightly off, next time I shall aim directly at the person who brings you uncomfort.”
You froze for a beat. Then sighed with a smile. “Rook…”
Chat:
swagdreamcat: WE KNEW IT
arlucent: THAT VOICE OMG
Neko: IT'S HIM
jen_jen: LITERALLY HIM??
gay-tomcat: OH MY GOD SHE BAGGED THE SNIPER GUY
alby-rei: the hunter protecting 😭
muzume: shooting arrows at flirty chatters I’M WHEEZING
He stepped into frame briefly, just from the waist down, gloves still on. His face remained out of sight, but his voice impossibly suave, dripped with affection. “She belongs to no one but the stars… but they currently favor me, non?”
You covered your face with your hands, half laughing, half dying of secondhand embarrassment. “I can’t take you anywhere.”
“I do not wish to go anywhere,” he replied smoothly, “except wherever you are.”
Chat:
gay-tomcat: GET A ROOM
gay-tomcat: actually… no bring him ON the stream
arlucent: THIS IS THE BEST REVEAL EVER
alby-rei: the arrow. the DRAMA.
muzume: “no” arrow >>> any response ever
You set the arrow aside, turning back to the camera. “So. Anyway. Let’s pull a tarot card now. Shall we ask the universe about jealous boyfriends with projectile weapons?”
From behind you, Rook chuckled.
The Lovers card flipped out on its own.
You looked at the camera, deadpan. “Of course...”
Chat:
Neko: HAHAHAHA
swagdreamcat: THE UNIVERSE HAS SPOKEN
jen_jen: WE SHIP IT
alby-rei: HUNTER x STREAMER CONFIRMED
Yn_arrow: tarot don't lie 🔮
Ruggie Bucchi
You sat in your cozy streaming chair, lazily blowing a small bubble with your gum as you chatted with your viewers. “…And yeah, the merch drop should go live next Friday,” you said between chews, “as long as the hoodies come back from the printer in time.”
Your chat was scrolling fast, buzzing about color choices and designs, when one comment caught your eye, just as you reached for a tissue to spit out the now flavorless gum.
You leaned back, chewing one last time before dabbing the tissue to your lips. “One sec guys, this gum’s dead.”
You reached over to the trash bin, tossed the tissue in, and then froze, brows pulling together as you spotted something… unhinged in chat.
“‘I’d pay good money for that gum.’” You blinked, then slowly turned to the camera, repulsed.
“Are you serious? No. Absolutely not. I am not selling my chewed gum. I don’t care how much you’d pay.”
Chat:
kiwiopal: 💀💀💀
suns-out-sleeps-in: wtf bro
pistachiokatelyn: not the gum simps
Neko: ayo how much tho?
jen_jen: don’t encourage them!!
sweetestlotusflower: she’s GROSSING OUT
cuupiisstupi: she’s about to block y’all 😭
You shook your head with a look of complete betrayal. “Y’all are outta pocket for real. I mean, that’s gotta be top ten weirdest messages I’ve ever—”
“Why not?”
You flinched and spun around.
There, in the background, casually munching on a rice cracker, stood Ruggie, your very private boyfriend. Still in his hoodie and sweats, hair tousled from a nap, he didn’t even blink as he added
“If someone offered me money for chewed gum? I’d bag it up, sign it, and throw in a ‘thank you’ sticker.”
You stared at him, mouth hanging open.
Chat:
cuupiisstupi: WHOA WHOA WHO IS THAT?!
jen_jen: WAIT
Neko: SHUT UP
kiwiopal: “I’d bag it up” I’M SCREAMING
sweetestlotusflower: YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND???
suns-out-sleeps-in: EXCUSE ME???
“You’re not helping,” you hissed, panic bubbling in your throat as you switched camera angles… too late. Everyone had seen him. His face. His voice.
And his perfectly casual grin.
“Oh no,” you whispered.
Ruggie leaned his elbows on the back of your chair. “What? You said you wouldn’t sell it, I’m just sayin’, that’s missed income, y’know?”
You smacked his arm, face flushed as chat erupted.
Chat:
pistachiokatelyn: IS THIS HER BOYFRIEND??
cuupiisstupi: NO WAY YOU’RE DATING HIM
kiwiopal: THE CAPITALIST HIMSELF
Neko: this explains EVERYTHING
pistachiokatelyn: when’s the couple Q&A?? 👀👀
You turned back to the camera, burying your face in your hands. “So… yeah. Surprise. That’s Ruggie. And no, we are not selling used gums. Mine or his.”
Ruggie leaned into frame with a grin and winked. “Unless you’re offering a good price. Then we’ll talk.”
You shoved him out of the frame while trying not to laugh. “Ruggie, get out!”
He popped another rice cracker into his mouth. “You love me.”
“Not right now I don’t.”
“You do~”
You absolutely did. And now, apparently, so did your entire chat.
Chat:
sweetestlotusflower: COUPLE STREAM WHEN???
suns-out-sleeps-in: I KNEW IT!
cuupiisstupi: the gum now is iconic
kiwiopal: so about the gum 👀
You sighed dramatically. “…Fine. You win. But we’re not selling used snacks.”
From behind you “...Unless it’s vintage.”
“RUGGIE EWW!!”
Floyd Leech
It was a warm, sunny afternoon perfect for a chill stream.
You were lounging comfortably on a sunbed by your backyard pool, the soft sound of birds and trickling water in the background. Wearing a cute two piece swimsuit and sunglasses, you sipped from your iced drink and leaned toward the camera.
“Alright chat,” you said, smiling, “today’s just a little hangout stream. Nothing crazy. I figured we could talk, enjoy the weather, and I’ll answer a few questions while I get some sun. Sometimes we need to touch some grass.”
Chat:
universallydazepenguin: omg ur swimsuit is so cute 😭
kaii156: pool stream??
spaceywaste: the vibes are immaculate
wokasiv: real question: iced tea or iced coffee?
imasip: who taking those aesthetic photos of u 👀
You laughed. “I told you, I use a timer! No secret photographer hiding behind the bushes.”
But that would soon turn out to be a lie. You were mid sentence, answering a question about your summer plans, when—
“Shriiiimpyyy~”
Your heart stopped. You turned your head in slow motion, already dreading what you’d see…
And there he was.
Floyd wearing only his swim shorts, dripping slightly, towel tossed over his shoulder, and a glint in his eyes that screamed trouble.
He leaned over you from behind, resting his chin on your head. “You done yet? I wanna play with you now~”
“I—! Floyd!” you yelped, scrambling to mute the mic but only managing to knock over your drink. “I’m still streaming!”
“Oh?” He blinked once… then grinned, wide and sharp. “You didn’t say that~”
Chat:
alby-rei: WHO IS THAT
calcifiedunderland: WHO JUST SAID SHRIMPY??
imasip: NO WAY
wokasiv: sir! Put some clothes on… never mind… I like the view…
universallydazepenguin: EXCUSE ME???
kaii156: he’s shirtless IM GONE
spaceywaste: AYO! Double fan service?!
You reached to cover the camera or do something, but Floyd was faster, he snatched the camera with one hand and tilted it toward the pool, still holding you effortlessly in the other arm like a ragdoll.
“Alright, chat~” he announced cheerfully, “boring talk stream is over! It’s a pool stream now!”
“Floyd, NO—!”
Before you could stop him, he sprinted toward the pool and jumped in with you in his arms.
SPLASH.
The camera caught the blur of movement, a flash of water, and then the screaming laughter as you both surfaced.
You spit water out, gasping. “You’re insane!”
Floyd slicked his wet hair back, grinning at you like you were the most fun toy in the world. “Mmm… is that a complain?”
Chat:
jen_jen: WHAT JUST HAPPENED
spaceywaste: SHE’S DATING WITH A PSYCHO???
alby-rei: HE PICKED HER UP LIKE NOTHING 😭
calcifiedunderland: THIS STREAM TOOK A TURN
Neko: pool stream of the year LMAO
wokasiv: DID SHE JUST GET YEETED INTO THE POOL
You swam over to the pool’s edge where the camera was still rolling and sighed, water dripping from your lashes. “Well. Um. Surprise?”
From behind you, Floyd wrapped his arms around your waist and pressed a kiss to your temple. “You said when I get back we’d hang out…”
“…after the stream,” you muttered, but couldn’t help smiling as he nuzzled into your neck.
Chat:
spaceywaste: AHHHHHHH
calcifiedunderland: I SHIP IT SO HARD
alby-rei: THEY’RE CUTE AND CHAOTIC HELP
imasip: she really tried to keep him secret 💀
wokasiv: it’s getting hot in here 👀
You shook your head and reached for the camera to end the stream. “Alright, alright, you guys saw nothing. Stream’s over, go touch some grass.”
Floyd grinned. “Why would they touch grass when they could watch us make out in the water?”
I feel like Jade likes all the physical affection and attention - like the needy type would work for him and Floyd is not abt that at all BC he's so independent. Jade likes being relied on and fussed over. Floyd would suck on his teeth and say you're not his mom and he doesn't even like her meddling.
I don't think Floyd wants someone whose going to appease him either. Going along with his whims is fun and all - and sometimes it's just inevitable, but you're not fun that way. Talk to him, tell him no, sometimes go against his grain and then it's fun. He doesn't want an other half. He wants an other whole. Two seperate people who have come together to form something greater they could never be by themselves.
Jade, however, would much rather be two halves of a greater whole. You two are one, you work as one, you solve problems together and you align on most things even if he's being a little condescending for the sake of fun. You remind him that's not a dog, he fixes your hair when it's out of place, he knows what you order for lunch and you know he's going to be slammed at the lounge so you help out. You work as a team. You are in tandem.
Though both come from a good loving household with two parents who love each other, they took different lessons from them. Floyd thinks it's great they two people on their own who pick each other every day. And Jade thinks it's sweeter they'd be shattered without the other entirely. Neither wrong. Just a different perspective
Currently going back through Book 3 and I just wanted to say I would honestly start crying and maybe even piss myself if I saw this actively swimming towards me in the water 😭
✬ floyd is the type of boyfriend to express his love through physical touch and acts of service ˳
✬ he is the type of boyfriend to enjoy sharing clothes and items. for example, if you had a necklace, he'd end up wearing it and see it as his good luck charm for basketball games ˳
✬ he is the type to be possessive as it is in his animal instinct to keep what's his. expect him to be very touchy or clingy around people as a way to show you're his ˳
✬ as eels often do, he tends to wrap himself around you in some way, another sign of his love language ˳
✬ he tends to cuddle close to you due to being cold blooded, so expect tons of eel boy cuddles ˳
✬ he's a biter, often biting you in the neck or arm/wrist area. this is due to wanting to just feel something to sink his teeth in, but also a possessive habit of showing that you're his ˳
✬ floyd may not be a good cook but do expect him to pick up on flavors easily and assist you with taste testing different dishes, he often is always hungry too ˳
✬ he's loyal and protective, if he hears anyone bad mouth you in any shape or form, well, down they go (often needing a trip to the nurse) ˳
