The cool silver light had filtered through the water. Each mer singing in the hopes of attracting a mate.
Anakin has sung his song time and time before but no one had returned his calls. He had no doubt that no one would be joining him, yet he felt the need to continue to sing. The moon hung at the top of the sky and many other deep sea mer had begun to pair together with a prospective mate. Anakin was about to give up when he picked up the sweet smell of an omega. Opening his eyes, the younger merman spotted him.
Clear blue eyes stared into glowing yellow as Obi-Wan looked at the other merman. He noted the red glow that originated from Anakin’s tail and the shiny red black scales that seemed to absorb all light. It was different from his own pale pearl tail that could only reflect the light. He swam closer to investigate the strange and attractive merman.
Anakin noted that the pale merman was not able to produce his own light, but seemed to be reflecting the light of the moon, giving him an ethereal glow . Immediately Anakin was enthralled by the beauty. He demonstrated how fit he was by bolting away and speeding back to where the other merman hovered.
“Hello there.” Obi-Wan said, a small smile gracing his face as Anakin approached him.
The two did not realize they were talking for hours. The moon had begun to set and Quinlan had realized that Anakin had failed to meet up with the rest of their pod. The older merman found the blonde talking with a merman he had never encountered before. They were clearly flirting, but the sun was rising and they pod would run out of time returning to the depths for another month.
He finally managed to get the two to separate, by reminding Anakin it was time to return to the abyss. It was dangerous for them to be out in the open ocean. Anakin understood his podmate’s concern and left with him towards the depths. However, neither mermen realized that the curious shallow, sunlight merman, had decided to trail behind into the darkness.
