[ he might actually cry, but then again eren was always so easily tugged into emotion. especially when this is. absolutely disgusting and he was borderline worried he’d melt. slimes are fickle with their feelings, to boot. eren could go from hot to cold in a stretch of seconds now, which . . . is what seems to be happening. from watering eyes (that do not drop tears, but dribbles of slime) to a huffy stare from elliot to the water, he takes his hand and squeezes it. it feels like he’s squeezing a soap bar that keeps slipping from his fingers, but he tries.

the water had been a sure concern earlier, but— it wasn’t so unsettling anymore. it called him.

just listen. that’s all he had to do. listen. ]

Just don’t, [ augh, another vomity feeling. nothing comes out, though. only gills that cut through the curve down his neck and open. they ask for water. ] let go of me.

[ god what if he just turns into a pile of slime and disappears in the ocean ]

[Oh great so in other words, slime made Eren even more Eren-y. Great.]

I won't let go.

[He leads him slowly into the water, his hands trying to hold into him as best as he could despite all the slime. He leads them slowly into the water, deeper and deeper. When the water reaches Elliot's chest (Eren's stomach lets be real), he'll pause and remove one of his hands to undo his pants buttons and pull them down, kicking them off so they don't get in the way. He'll recover them later, once he's sure Eren's okay.

Once that's done, he'll pull Eren back close to him, taking both hands again. Something brushes up against Eren's legs- a fish tail. Instead of walking, he swims as he keeps leading Eren deeper. ]

You're safe here, don't worry.

[ he too tol

they’ll dry enough throughout the night, hopefully. not that eren is worrying about clothes at this point in time. the water helps disperse the slime from him, making it easier to hold onto anything including elliot’s hands. he’s not melting, probably thanks to elliot to begin with. his racing heart calms. his breathing steadies once they’re welcomed by a chilly envelopment.

he can only feel the scales pushing through, his arms and calves beginning to burn and itch harder than the patches around his shoulders and back. can he take these off too, the fabric? they’re binding him—

so at the very least, off come his own clothes. he wanted to go deeper, and he wanted the water to touch him completely. eren, while holding his breath, dips a little deeper, crouching and letting his body flow the way it had to until the surface was at his shoulders. he exhales, a little shaken but only from the cold. the touch of a tail makes him snap his attention immediately downwards, but the water— it doesn’t let him see anything beyond a reflection of something shiny.

eren doesn’t walk, even if the water is still shallow for him. he wants to swim. ]

I want to see you.

[ he might not be able to stay underwater for too long, but he wanted to see everything. he’s already feeling safe. ]

[Elliot will help him removing his clothes, tugging at Eren's shirt and pushing down his pants. He doesn't think twice about them stripping out in the middle of the ocean. Clothes were for land, when they needed to walk among people. Out here, they only got in the way.

He's glad to see Eren calming down, already starting to change. He badly wants to know what he'll look like when it's done, but he can wait. They're going to be together forever, after all. Even in Elliot's full monstrous form, he still hasn't removed that ring.

At the request to be seen....he smiles, showing his fangs. Eren's probably not ready yet for long seadives, so he'll have to show him himself. He leans over to give another loving kiss, before pulling back. He lays back and makes himself float in front of Eren, so he can see all of him. His legs have been replaced with a green mermaid tail that matches his eyes. The tail goes all the way up to his waist, where it gradually merges with skin with patches of scales scattered all over the top half of his body. With the scarf gone with the rest of his clothing, a pair of gills are visible on his neck. ]

How do I look?

[He asks playfully]

[ the only time they are naked and things are sfw

eren can feel more of the toothy smile when he’s fetching after the kiss given— he can feel the pointed ends when he uses more tongue to slip across elliot’s lips before he’s pulling away, and eren wades after him. as a warning: eren’s kisses are gaining a little extra viscosity. his mouth stains enough blue that he looks like he ate way too many blue gushers, but for someone infected it might not be much of a bother.

just a mild looking salivation problem. it glows.

it’s also very thick in his throat and he doesn’t really know how to breathe through it without coughing it up and submerging the water for a few seconds, to wet the rest of him and get some slime relief. emerging with half his face first and lifting more to see elliot showing a vibrancy of colors to him, a flowing tail to match him and all—

he can’t help but to smile, even if it’s somewhat strained as the rest of the scales push through. his hands feel more resistance when they press across the water, as do his feet. no gills yet.

elliot is stunning all the same, and eren’s arms reach out for elliot to come to him, at least to his hands. they’re webbed, he finds, and fingers can no longer lace into each other. ]

How you . . . Should. [ because there’s no other way he should be. he’s beautiful. he’s natural.

everything is the way it should be. there are less questions literally swimming in his head. he doesn’t need to question anything else. the answer was so simple now that he’s at a loss of words to not just the wonderful appearance of his infected love, but of everything he was meant to do now: multiply. infect. destroy. ] You were right. It’s easier.

[Elliot beams at Eren's words, knowing that the other is finally coming around. Like always, there's no hesistation when Eren reaches out for him. He moves and swims back over to Eren. It's harder to take Eren's hand now that they're webbed, so he'll just pull him close into a hug.

He cares less with each moment about the visocity coming from Eren's mouth or other parts of his body. Was he still annoyed a slime monster got to him first? Yes, but at least he won't be completely slime. And Eren's words were right. This is how they should be.

his face buries itself in the crook of Eren's neck as he presses up against him. ]

Mm. Especially now that we're together. [Eventually he'll work on infecting others. Multplying their numbers. But Eren had always been first on his list

...From this angle, his neck sure looked and smell good. He swallows, remembering he hasn't had any blood yet.]

....Ahaha, would it...be okay if I took a nibble?

[ a nibble? it didn’t sound . . . bad. if anything, it could speed him up more into feeling completely at home in the water. he still has his legs keeping them up in a slight hover above the water’s surface, just enough to breathe and keep his chin over elliot’s shoulder, one hand holding him while the other traces down his back and to his scaled waist.

eren doesn’t question a single thing. he exposes his neck more to him, even. it’s unscaled, soft and vulnerable. what eren would always do with elliot: expose his belly at all times. ]

As much as you want.

[ he had unbelievable pain tolerance anyway. it wouldn’t feel like anything beyond a prick. ]

[Oh well this is a reaction he was happy to see. Eren embracing this, letting him drink from him. He finds himself licking his lips just thinking about it. ]

Thank you...

[He opens his mouth enough to let his fans stick out, before lowering his head down to that exposed neck. He'll pause a moment to take in the smell. Even with the changes, he still smelled like his Eren.

Once he takes a moment on that, he moves to push the fangs into Eren's neck. He's never done this before, so he's going by instinct. He feels unsure about what he's doing until he tastes the first bite of blood through his fangs.

Oh...wow.]

[ it’s not like he doesn’t feel anything, though. it’s a sensitive spot. those are teeth sinking into his jugular and drawing a plentiful amount of blood. eren tried not to cringe, shoulders shuddering to keep from rising, holding his breath and squeezing into the hug.

it’s fine— it’s fine.

it’s actually very fine. water slushes onto their bodies and pulls at the remaining changes eren needed; infection seeps through the bite and gives eren growing fins. his toes web, giving him less need to kick when only a simple wave would keep him upright. his spine pokes up subtly, his scales spread like wildfire— all until there’re no longer legs by elliot’s tail, but his own tail, a mesh of bright and dark blue hues.

that was supposed to feel weird, but it wasn’t. ]

How is it–?

[Elliot doesn't intend to bleed him dry, he doesn't need that much. But he was caught off guard by how good it tasted, how potent to his vampire tastebuds. Instead of just drinking to feed, he found himself letting out pleased little sounds as he drinks. He even drinks a little longer than intended, only stopping when Eren speaks to him.]

Delicious....

[The words come out as a near purr as he licks off any remaining blood off his teeth. It's then he notices how much further the changes have gotten on Eren's body. He runs his fingers over some of those extra scales, and his tail wraps around Eren in delight. ]

Mm...you're coming along so nicely, Eren.

[ his neck is bleeding and he might have been on the verge of feeling lightheaded, but they’re working with the limit here. as small as the punctures are, they still run deep enough to suck and the leftovers stream down his jugular in an expected trickle. it was— oddly. satisfying to hear elliot’s hum vibrate into his core.

his nose stays close to elliot’s nape, caressing him with his lips the way he’d usually do even though right now it’s just slimey, but the water helps dilute any thickness and makes it even seem normal. it’s as if they weren’t monsters at all— just two lovestruck young men that have fallen even deeper into each other. he can’t help nestling elliot, admiring him with his hands in every touch and every growing urge to just . . .

treat him like the treasure he was, he supposed. even if he does that already, he could always do so much more. ]

Take me under?

[ he feels like that’s the last thing he really needs. ]

[Love finds a way, even when it's between two monsters. Elliot certainly is overjoyed to have Eren here with him. He doesn't move to heal the punctures just yet. Eren's regeneration will kick in eventually, and for now there was something pleasing to see the bite mark there. It was like a hickey for monsters.

Elliot holds onto him as Eren nestles close to him, ready to ignore the rest of the world for the while to just be with the man he loves so much. At Eren's request, he's more than happy to oblige.]

Okay.

[He reaches over to lift Eren's chin, leaning over to give him another kiss, a long lasting one. As he does so, he'll gently tug Eren deeper into the water, until they're both completely submerged. The mermaid kiss should keep him from drowning for a little bit, hopefully long enough for Eren's own gills to come in.]

[ they need to enjoy that while it lasts. they can never get actual hickeys and this is a sad world of regen they live in (or a really good one when they could love bite all night and not have to worry about the next day at work or school 👀).

it’s really, really hot to say the least; elliot has a seducing charm while he does this, drawing eren into a kiss that could drag on for a lifetime if he could breathe a different way. down they go, where the sound of the crickets and frogs are muffled by silence, the occasional glob of air bubbling up, the swish of water— eren stays under and follows as easily as a tide, maintaining his lips over elliot’s while raising his hands to hold him, one on his head and the other at the back of his neck.

while he coaxes wider, it’s clear that he doesn’t need to gasp for air; there are slits opening by the sides of his neck, easily felt by a touch. elliot’s fish tail no longer needs to wrap and guide legs when it’s tangled in another tail.

he doesn’t want to fight the changes at all. ]

[You know when you put it that way, it's a good thing. A definite good thing.

There's a peace underneath the water that the surface doesn't know. Sounds are muffled, and everything seems much more isolated. With how Elliot was now, he found it comforting. Not even the cold water temperatures bother him anymore. He was at home here.

He's happy to keep the kiss going as long as possible, both to make sure Eren has enough time to change and to simply enjoy the moment. It's only when it's been awhile and Eren is widening the kiss instead of trying hard to conserve air, does it become clear. He lifts his hand to check the sides of Eren's neck, and sure enough, there was a healthy set of gills there.

Finally he pulls away from the kiss, unwrapping his tail from Eren's so he can pull back and get a good look at him. The changes were well underway, and Eren looked incredible. It was better than Elliot had hoped for.

He reaches for Eren's hand once more, intent on leading him deeper into the ocean. If Eren could breathe underwater now, there was no point in sticking to the shallows. Better to swim out, and experience the feeling of freedom that comes with the open ocean. Together.]

[ eren shouldn’t be doing this.

eren shouldn’t feel the liberty he does when he finally opens his eyes to see elliot, and behind him, an endless stretch of ocean. the ocean ends eventually, no matter to which corner you swim to. eren knows full well that on the other side of the ocean, there was no freedom. on the other side of the ocean was the same, troubled world you still lived in. the world above was the same everywhere you went, because humanity was the same.

but what about under it all? where it was quiet, where it went untouched and unconfined.

it wasn’t true, but infection aids eren to feed the lie: down here, there was far less responsibility. down here was easier. down here was where he could truly be free.

he takes elliot’s hand easily, and as quick as second nature, his new tail flicks to begin launching him forward. he accepts. he desires. he goes with him, and there is where they probably explore all night. ]
