Mersong – Aww, poor bby echo. Who did that to him? (I’m assuming humans but you never know). Fives is probably super protective over him!
Looking to the other with a disturbed gaze, Obi-Wan couldn’t help but swish his tail nervously. “You mean to tell me the humans surface thing did that to him?” He questioned, utterly disturbed.
He had seen what the humans nets and the lines hanging down could do if accidentally caught in them but to think poor Echo had been caught by the odd ship things?
Anakin grimaced but nodded, glancing at Obi-Wan and puffing a bit up in pride unconsciously.
If they weren’t speaking about something so seriously, Obi-Wan might preen, having his mate to be like the seaweed bed he was currently weaving together for their mating for their little mating den was nice.
But as it was, they were talking about serious things and he swallowed thickly to himself. “Echo got too curious, he and Fives,” Anakin murmured quietly, filling the kelp bags he had made with the shells he had been collecting for them. Still alive, as it was foolish to eat a dead clam but gathered into the little cave Anakin would be blocking off come a day or two. “But Echo got too close, got caught in the water streams it left behind and it pulled him up and he couldn’t swim out of it so he got pulled up against the wood and the weird things that stick into the water…” Anakin grimaced heavily, not able to finish the words.
They had thought they’d loose Echo those days.
Echo had bleed so heavily, he had been so ghostly pale and his tail had been twisted so badly that Jango had outright stated that Echo’s bones might have been ruined inside of him.
Fives hadn’t left the others side since then, sticking to his side and Anakin couldn’t blame him.
Fives and Echo had a mating bond more than a friend or family bond and even now, Anakin would be in stitches himself if Obi-Wan…
No, best not to think about that.
Shaking his head, Obi-Wan settled back against the cave wall, long tendrils of seaweed floating up as he wasn’t actively working.
Since they were in a cave though, they didn’t move, the water currents not currently directing inside it, so Obi-Wan could sit for a few moments and just consider it. “…I hate humans.” He finally settled on, shaking his head.
Obi-Wan let out a small grunt of agreement before swimming over, pecking Obi-Wan on the lips. “Same. All they do is harm us,” He whispered, stroking Obi-Wan’s face with gentle hands, smiling when the other pressed into his touch. “But they aren’t here. Only me and you are.” He stated tenderly.
That got him a soft hum of joy, Obi-Wan nuzzling softly at his hands before outright letting go of the temporary bed he was making for their comfort. Reaching up, he pulled Anakin down and kissed his mate on the lips, rubbing his thumbs tenderly over the others cheeks.
It was meant to be a brief kiss.
Anakin didn’t let it be, pressing his mate into the rock as he slid his arms around the plush cold water mer, rubbing gently at the soft belly and sides with a soft hum against the others mouth, closing his eyes as he enjoyed it.
Jango had once stated, when Anakin asked, that he too once had the blubber but coming out to the tropics meant that he hadn’t needed it.
The water here were much warmer after all, so Obi-Wan, with his body acclimating to his new environment, would eventually loose the delightful soft blubber that Anakin honestly adored. He kind of wanted to bite it, just to see how it feel.
But one, that was kind of rude and two, Anakin just knew that Obi-Wan would take revenge.
It might be worth it though.
But at that moment though, kissing the other mer was more alluring to Anakin as he continued running his hands over the others skin and scales, delighting in the reciprocation from his omega, his Obi-Wan.
‘Maybe if I feed him enough, he can remain nice and plush.’ Anakin’s fins quivered happily at the absent thought as he nipped gently at Obi-Wan’s bottom lip, pulling back to smile at the tussled and now pouty looking Obi-Wan from the kiss swollen lips.
