- “Hey, Shrimpy, whatcha up to?” Floyd asked as he slung one arm around your shoulder.
- “Hey, Floyd!” You greeted him with a bright smile, “What I’m about to say is top secret, so you can’t tell anyone. Got it?”
- “I won’t say anything to anyone except maybe Jade, so tell me~” he grinned, showing you his sharp teeth.
- “Okay, so I am about to do….drum roll, please,” you whispered, leaning a little closer to his face, “…absolutely nothing!”
- “Shrimpy,” Floyd slightly frowned as his eyebrows drew closer together, “don’t get me excited for no reason.”
- After you teased your crush a little more, you parted ways with him and snuck to your usual swimming place.
- Having nothing better to do, Floyd decided to go for a swim. For some reason, he had an urge to explore a new place, so as soon as he entered the unknown waters, the eel caught sight of a mermaid.
- He had heard rumors of a beautiful mermaid but didn’t pay much heed to them. Wanting to see you up close, he quietly slithered through the tall grass.
- Right as you sensed his presence, Floyd darted in front of you, blocking your path. “Hey, ther- Shrimpy?”
- He couldn’t believe his eyes; the pretty mermaid everyone gossiped about was you? You were a mermaid?
- “Shrimpy, why didn’t ya tell me you were a mermaid?” He pouted and rubbed the back of his head. But then it hit him, and his pout slowly twisted into a smirk, “Top secret information that you don’t want me to tell anyone…is this it?”
- You exhaled loudly while rubbing your left upper arm with your right hand, “Y-Yeah, you caught me. Floyd…don’t tell anyone about this.”
- “Let’s see~ you didn’t tell me the truth, so I am gonna tell everyone.”
- His smirk never left his lips as he watched your expression change from startled to nervous to unhappy. Wanting to get back at you for hiding the truth from him, Floyd teased further, “Then, I’ll get going. Need to tell everyone in Octavinelle about this. See ya.”
- “W-What? Get back here!” You started to chase him around, ducking under stone structures, dodging coral, and fighting your way through the wild grass.
- “Why are you so fast?” You stopped to catch your breath. “If he tells the students in NRC, I am going to be in trouble.”
- Floyd appeared behind you, turned you around, and pulled you into his arms. “Geez. You really think I’m going to reveal your secret?”
- He chuckled lightly at your red cheeks and pressed your body closer to him, “The rumors were right. Hehe. You’re pretty cute, Shrimpy~”
- “F-Floyd.” You buried your face in his neck, not wanting to meet his gaze.
- “Stop being so cute, will ya? Hey~ so if no one knows you’re a mermaid, that means I have you all to myself,” he whispered and nuzzled his face on the top of your head. “Your mermaid form is for my eyes only.”
