Future Fish? [nsfw]

Watching Muika carefully and with a twinge of worry, Iyuki made sure to be prepared if she slipped or faltered. He wanted to be sure she wouldn't panic, so his muscles and whole body was rigid with waiting. Nothing happened though, instead she merely made it to a safe distance and sat.

Smiling, Iyuki floated over slowly, his eyes the only thing above the water on his head, though the rest of him floated. He stared at her, blinking a few times as he stretched out within arms reach.

Muika watched as Iyuki approached her, watching her as he eventually moved to stretch out; instinctively, one of her hands moved out towards him before it rested just below his wrist. She wasn't gripping him or anything, having hesitated to do that...but when in the water she felt more secure when he was closer.

"Look, a glorious manatee floating lazily in its natural habitat." Iyuki intoned in a serious voice, lowering it to pretend he was a nature documentary narrator. "He approaches the human sent out as bait to tempt it closer, trying to use its curiosity against it. It seems to be working..."

Iyuk floated closer and then his head bumped her leg lightly before being pushed back as he floated slightly away despite the hand holding his wrist. "With its curiosity assuaged, the manatee once more floats away."

Muika averted her eyes from Iyuki as he...pretended to be a narrator of sorts, biting her tongue or else she would have...almost laughed, but she wouldn't! She risked one quick glance back at him, but he then attempted to float away, slipping from under her hand, without thinking her hand did attempt to grip him then, but she only successfully held a couple of his fingers.

Muika was amused! Iyuki could easily tell, those eyes turned away and she seemed to be holding back laughter. He was glad he could make her happy when she was this nervous.

Watching her glance, he let her grab his fingers while he continued to speak. "The manatee, mermaid of the sea, was captured by the bait. We are not sure why, but it seems the female wanted the manatee to stay? The manatee allowed itself to be held, easily able to escape but curious once more. What could the female want of it?"

That...he was continuing with that!? She kept her eyes averted, this time not risking a glance back as Iyuki continued with his silly narrations as if he were some sea creature. He...

Unconsciously, she puffed out a cheek before her free hand moved from around her to lightly splash water at him.

Iyuki blew bubbles of amusement in the water, that puffed up cheek and now the splashed water! She was relaxing! His goofiness, while utterly embarrassing, was working!

"The manatee seems shocked and amused. His new found friend seems to be annoyed with its antics. The manatee... Oh! It seems it will do the rather rare full pout!" Dropping his face into the water, he let his legs and arms fall in in a dead body float while he blew bubbles from his mouth.

He...He was...

"S-Stupid..." She muttered, though her face was still turned and it was obvious she was biting things back; he...he was ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! Her grip on his fingers tightened slightly, but not painfully so.

Iyuki's face popped up from the water, a carefully constructed utter disbelief on it. Inside he was laughing and smiling, but outside it was just utterly something else.

"The manatee seems shocked and dismayed by this turn of events. He came to have a good time and honestly he feels so attacked right now it seems!" The grip Muika had on his fingers made it hard to keep his laughter in though a tiny smile slipped across his lips.

He hoped to get her to not bite back her words with this latest antic... If he could get outright laughter he would feel accomplished.

She shouldn't have risked another glanced at him, but she had and...and he was smiling! It was small but he was holding back his amusement, she could tell! He...

"M...Mm..."

"The manatee begins his attempts to leave, having decided the human does not wish his company. It mopes and begins to slowly float away." Iyuki moved his free hand lightly and slowly started drifting despite Muika's grip on him. He blew more mopey bubbles as his face lowered, attempting an escape.

"Mm-!...g..." Muika splashed at him again, more than once this time as a small squeak escaped her despite her biting as much as she could back. It wasn't like he could go far with her hold on him, but...but still-!

Iyuki's head came back up as he heard a squeak and a splash. "The manatee senses ill intent. He will flee before the evil splashing human continues to splash him, his instincts telling him of the danger to come if he stays. He will then move on to eat his weight in seaweed."

He needed one giggle. Just one to stop.

He was ridiculous! Completely, and absolutely ridiculous! Why was he doing this!? Why here when...when it wasn't just them!? That...That was her logic and excuse for for questioning this anyway...

"S...Stupid Iyuki." Again she repeated her previous statement, but this time she'd unconsciously smiled, her shoulders having shook a bit with an almost silent giggle.

He was ridiculous...

"The manatee is showing more signs of confusion. The name calling really isn't warrented and it seems to have no idea what an Iyuki is. Is that another name for manatees? I assume it wonders such. As we can not read manatee minds though, this is all we can do." Iyuki was getting silent giggles! He did not mind being called stupid and stuck his nose and mouth back under to blow bubbles at her.

Muika's pleased amusement with this made him too happy, she was relaxed in the water now.

Muika gave a few more mostly silent giggles, though when she realized she was her face reddened, unable to look him in the eye. He...Why'd he do that!?

She...Laughing wasn't...

Iyuki was not flat faced, so instead of moving to poop her with his nose, he put his head down and floated forward. Booping her legs with the top of his head, he blew more bubbles.

He'd easily noticed that red face and look away. She was giggling silently, happy and enjoying this...

Feeling his head make contact with her legs, Muika gave another look towards him before...splashing at him again lightly. Her hand wanted to come up and hide her mouth, but...but even now she took her promise to not...hide any smiles she gave from him seriously.

Iyuki felt the splashes, but continued his bubbles before nudging her again. He could not see the smile, but he could sense it. Bloop. Boop. He Booped her with his head another time. He was the majestic Manatee, he could not be stopped.

Muika kept her eyes turned away as Iyuki continued nudging her; just...just what was he trying to get her to do? She'd already...already smiled...was smiling...and stuff, wh...

He was ridiculous! Again the thought passed her mind as she risked another glance at him; her hold on his fingers eventually moved to his hand, holding onto it as he continued with his manatee act.

Iyuki looked up and saw the sweet smile, the face looking away and the maybe slight blush on her features? He laughed softly, his finger twining between hers before he moved to his knees in the water. Leaning forward, his lips touched her brow gently as he kissed it before pulling back. "Aha, you are enjoying that. Shall I pretend more? There are so many aquatic animals that I could be quite a few for you."

As Iyuki rose from the water, Muika's eyes shut as he leaned in to kiss her brow, opening once he pulled away; she had a light tint in her cheeks afterwards.

She couldn't believe she'd laughed at that...he was ridiculous...

"Pretend...to be Iyuki for a bit...it...it'd be weird if I kissed a sea creature..." She muttered in response.

Muika's blush was adorable, she was so flustered and cute at this moment...

"So I will become Iyuki-pretending to be a sea creature pretending to be Iyuki?" Iyuki laughed lightly, kneeling in the water and lifting up the hand holding his in a familiar gesture as he kissed the back of it softly. "As my Lady commands, so shall I do. It will take the utmost of my acting skill... But I believe I can pull this off."

As Iyuki replied, Muika wished she'd had her head turned or something...something that gave some sense of hiding her face, but unfortunately, she was looking at him as her face continued to burn her.

S...Stupid butler act...

Iyuki just smiled and looked at Muika from his kneeling position. "I thought you wished to kiss me? I was obliging My Lady and making myself so much easier to do so. Was I mistaken? Shall I go back to being a majestic manatee?"

He knew she meant when he kissed her but... well it was too cute! Besides he wanted her to kiss him...
