doing well
The sinks runs in the bathroom as Adam splashes the cold water on his freshly shaven face. He runs a towel over his lower jaw, and feels it smooth. "You ready, yet?" Merrick asked as he came in, "You're not even dressed yet," Adam jumped as he felt a quick slap to his butt."Gh! Hey" Adam turned, and rose his eyebrows, "Whoa..." He smiles, as he looks Merrick up and down, seeing him in tight jeans, a black and neon purple/yellow sheen hoodie that's zipped up, "Wow, babe...""What~" Merrick said with a charismatic smirk."Since when do YOU layer up like that?""Just getting used to these drdsapdseries you humans go for," He put his hands in his pockets as he leaned on the door frame of the bathroom, "Me and Yuri went clothe shopping a few weeks ago." Adam smiles as he left the bathroom, and pulled up some cargo shorts between his legs, "She said I had a great taste for fashion... Whatever THAT means.""How so?" Adam picked put his button-up polo shirt with the tribal dragons on it."I don't have a clue, I don't go around licking all those sails humans wear," He scoffed, "Sorry, 'clothes'." Adam laughs as he starts to button his shirt up, "That's not what she meant, Merrick." Merrick's hands took Adam's when he reached the middle button."Don't..." He said as he kissed Adam's lower lip."Mmmmhh..." Adam closed his eyes as his merman kissed him sensually, putting his own hands on Merrick's shoulders as he inserted the next button into the slit of Adam's shirt. Adam kissed him sweetly as Merrick finished the last button on the top, before there was a very small chink on the floor."Hey-" The looked down, and saw Merrick's bracelet on the floor, next to Merrick's shoe, "Oh no!" He picked up, and saw the chain itself to be rusty, and two of the links had broken off."Ah fuck," Adam said as he looked at the old chain."It's broken..." Merrick pouted sadly."I'm sorry, sweetheart.""I love this thing, you got it for me on our very first date on the pier...""Cheap metal..." Adam growled, "When we get back home next weak, I'll buy you a better one.""No, I like this one..." Merrick answered, "Are you sure humans don't have some power or device to make it as it was?" "Not that I know of, babe." Adam said as Merrick put the old chain in his pocket, "Come on," He put his arm around Merrick, "Lets go to the gift shops, see of they have anything."~~~"So what IS a gift shop?" Merrick said as they walked along deck, "In the sea, gifts are seldom because we only carry what we need.""Yeah, but with us humans, we like to get each other just about any gift." They turned the corner, and entered the ship."Gifts are also supposed to be rare and endearing," Merrick said as they went, "How can people just exploit that idea so loosely?""I don't know, Merrick," Adam said with a huff, getting a little annoyed at the criticism, "Just another reason why humans are a fucked up race."They traveled to one of the levels of the ship, and came across the shopping section - like a very small mall, it has two sides of stands and shops."Well..." Merrick looked at a stand as they went, "There's still a lot of fascinating objects to be had, I'll give them that." "Yeah, thanks," Adam said with a side-smirk as they went.~~~"Is there anyway you can fix this?" Merrick pleaded as he put his broken, corroding bracelet on the glass counter of a tiny jewelry shop. The lady behind the counter took a look at it, and examined it."... I'm sorry, hun, there's not a thing we can do here." She said sadly, "The best we can do is to replace it.""I see." Merrick said.
