TW/// TOOTHROTTING FLUFF, SOME ANGST, SHAARD SUFFERING IMPLIED AT THE END
Stevie was packing some bags because he was leaving for at sea work for the next two weeks in the morning. Some clothes, both his work laptop and normal laptop, a few plushies, and a book about sea mythology that was a birthday gift from Lou and Moe. He then proceeded to go to bed, the tarantula was sound asleep when he had a rather odd dream.
“Good morning dear boy,” a familiar voice whispered softly as Stevie woke up. It was Milton, which confused him because wasn't he supposed to be back in the sea. But then Stevie noticed that he's somehow around the same height as the mermaid, was he now the same species as Milton.
Stevie hugged the fellow mermaid, both of their tails wagging. A blush crept onto the pair's faces, Stevie gently put a fin on Milton's cheek. Milton softly smiled at him with such a loving look in his eyes, Stevie's heart skipped a beat due to it. He was about to lean in for a kiss when suddenly Stevie was woken up by Moe.
“ugh wolfie, can you NOT be this hyper at 4 in the morning,”
Stevie was doing some research papers on manta rays in the bedroom he shares with Moe, Lou, and Zee when he noticed what sounded like the chattering sounds Milton. He went outside and onto the deck of the ship, when he saw the mermaid in the sea.
“Milton what are you doing here,”
“Oh I was just looking for blue shells when I happened to notice your ship, I thought I would come to say hi,” Milton said cheerfully while holding a blue shell he found.
Stevie looked around to see if Rhonda was nearby, she wasn't. He then sighed and then went back to staring at him, the gentle sea breeze felt pleasant to the tarantula.
“You're lucky Rhonda isn't around or else she would've probably killed me for talking to you,”
“not literally Milton, I was just joking,”
“Oh okay, sorry I didn't realize that. The language of land dwellers aren't my first language,” Milton replied shyly while looking embarrassed.
“it's okay milt, the valley sea research facility was probably your first experience with land dwellers after all,”
All Milton can do is laugh at that statement, not wanting to tell Stevie about his bad experiences with land dwellers. Especially the one where he lost his entire pack, Milton tries to not think about that specific memory. Stevie noticed the mermaid looked sadder now, he worried about if he hurt his feelings.
“H-hey I have to go back to my work now, but maybe tonight we could s-swim together?” Stevie said while blushing, Milton nodded and the tarantula went back inside.
Milton was back in his cave, getting ready for when Stevie goes swimming with him. He gently combs his feathers on his head with a comb he found floating in the sea while he was wandering around one time. A green octopus is in the same cave, the mermaid guessed that he must have thought that the cave was empty (not that Milton mind, he was happy to share).
“Have fun getting harpooned you bozo,”
“I told you Nathan, land dwellers aren't inherently evil people,”
“Shocking you still believe that, considering a certain accident,”
“Nathan I wished to not speak about that now since I don't want to be depressed during my-”
“Your date with that tarantula?” the mermaid's face became warm at that statement.
“I-It's not a d-date, we're just hanging out, anyways im going now bye nathan,” Milton said as he left his cave.
It was night time, Stevie and Lou were waiting for Milton to appear. Meanwhile Moe was cleaning up the deck, complaining the entire time. The tarantula was a bit nervous, he worried Milton wouldn't show up. But then Lou noticed the mermaid popping his out of the water.
“Hey Stevie your date is here~”
“I know I know,” Lou replied while teasing the tarantula. Stevie then proceeded to climb down and go into the sea. Milton spotted him and got excited, tail wagging as fast as possible. Stevie shyly smiled as he approached him, happy to see his best friend again.
“Hey Milton, h-how's life back in the sea?”
“O-oh it's nice, although it's gets a bit lonely when you're seemingly the only plesiosaur mermaid around,”
Stevie was saddened by that statement, he wished there was a way to make his dear friend less lonely.
“You know if I was a plesiosaur mermaid, I would make sure you wouldn't feel lonely anymore,”
“oh dear boy, you're such a sweetheart,” Milton said while putting his hand on Stevie's cheek, the tarantula blushed at the touch.
“You're red, that cannot be healthy for you,”
“O-OH UHH DON'T WORRY AB-ABOUT THAT!”
Meanwhile Lou was spying on the two lovebirds with binoculars, Moe was bored and decided to take the binoculars from Lou.
“WOLFIE GIVE THOSE BACK,”
“im bored of cleaning Lou, besides what we're you looking at,”
“Is that Stevie with that mermaid?”
“Do not tell Rhonda about this or you'll be sleeping in the car tonight,”
“Okay, I'll go back to cleaning,” Moe handed Lou back his binoculars.
Milton and Stevie were playfully splashing each other, the two were having a wonderful time. The tarantula held his breath as he dived underwater with the mermaid, he thought of how pretty Milton looked in the ocean. Stevie wished he and Milton could be together without the barriers of land dwellers and mermaids, but alias he can't stay in the sea for too long or else he'll get cold or worst drown. They went back to the surface, the two stared at each other with an expression of yearning. Milton hugged Stevie, while his tail formed a heart shape.
“You're my best friend in the whole wide world, I hope one day we won't have to worry about how other people view our bond…”
The tarantula purred at Milton's words, the mermaid noticed and softly chuckled.
“Well I didn't know that you can purr,”
“Uh-uhh ignore that!” Stevie mumbled, blushing harder.
He heard Rhonda calling for him, Stevie knows he has to leave now.
Thankfully the darkness kept Milton hidden, Stevie got back onto the ship while wearing a little towel when he ran into Rhonda.
“Why were you swimming so late?”
“U-Uh exercise!!” He lied, the tasmanian devil having a hard time buying that.
“Alright, just take a shower and go to bed. Moe did a terrible job at cleaning this deck, he can't do shit right.” Rhonda sighed as she went back, Stevie breathed a sigh of relief as he went back inside too.
Meanwhile Lou received a text from a number he didn't know.
“This is David, listen I know me and Sonia work for buck thunders. The evil fucked up mermaid and sea creature hunter guy, but please help us. Shaard is getting sicker and he needs medical help now. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP US🥺🥺🥺.”
“Don't worry I'll take care of him and I'll make sure he survives, I promise.”
Lou prepares to sneak out of the boat and back to land, even though those two work for buck thunders, he is willing to help them out.
