Aquata Cove Ch. 72

()()()

Merrick smiles awake as feels the warmth of his naked lover spooning from behind. He moans quietly as he rubs his perfect booty Adam's bristly crotch, while Adam shifts his arms to hold him tighter. Merrick's eyes look to his left hand, and feel his insides flutter with light joy as he sees the sterling ring around his finger.

"Good morning..." Adam whispered into Merrick's ear. He giggles as Adam's lips and very thin stubble tickle his ear.

"Morning, Adam..." Merrick groaned as he stretched on the bed, but stopped when his knee touches a cold wet spot, "Whoa, wha-" He looks, and sees a damp spot, along with a white glob oozing into the sheets.

"You were moaning in your sleep..." Adam said lowly, "I thought you were having a nightmare, but then I felt you had a HUGE boner..." He grins as he rubs Merrick's hips, "So I jerked you off until you came..."

"Mmm, God, it was really a wild dream..." Merrick moaned as he reached down to Adam's furry lap, but found that Adam's penis is completely soft on the grab.

"Aheheh, yeeeaahhh..." Adam grins sheepishly, "I uh... Kinda got off a second ago too..."

"Hehehe..." Adam spoons behind Merrick some more.

"So what were you dreaming about?" Adam asked as he puts his muscular arm onto his lover.

"About you."

"Ooh, hehe~"

"And me."

"Even better."

"You were having sex with this sun-lit god or something... He reminds me of the Land Father Mithras, the way I saw him..."

"Hm? How so?" Adam adjusts on the bed, as this conversation as become eerily familiar.

"His scalp was all like... Pure yellow light, and he had golden, round tattoos around his body..."

"Huh..." Adam said as he blinks, "I was also dreaming about you too, babe."

"Oh? Hehehe, what as I doing~?" Merrick asked, betting himself that Adam's answer won't be as naughty as his own answer.

"I think you were on a ship... And you looked like you were like, 17, 18 years old, like right on the dot." Adam told him, "And I remember your Dad was there too, he was the Captain."

"Wait, my Father?" Merrick turned in bed, and looked at him, "How would you know from my Father? You've never met."

"Well actually I have once," Adam said as he scratched the side if his neck, "Few years ago when you first met my parents. He didn't say a word; he just glared at me and went into the ocean. I took a guess." Adam shrugged.

"Oh..."

"Anyway... Yeah, in my dream, I was having sex with the god of the sun," Adam said, "And then it kinda blurs to you running around a ship, and I think everyone was in their underwear because it was so hot."

"Yeah... I dreamt that too..." Merrick looks up at Adam with an estranged expression, "Adam, did we just have the exact same dream?"

"I think so..." Adam nodded.

"I wonder if this has happened before..." Merrick pondered, "What did you dream about last night?"

"Agh, I don't know..." Adam groaned as he rolled on his back on the bed, "Something about hot dogs and a bunch of airplanes I think... Sound familiar?"

"No." Merrick shook his head. "I think I had a dream that I was in this dark green forest, and I was following some kind of plot. Ever had that?"

"Nope." Adam shook his head, "I think about a couple of weeks ago, I had this dream that I was sold in a slave trade, and you were the one who purchased me."

"Yes," Merrick nods, "I remember that one..." Merrick smiles, "I had you wear a collar with a silver bell on it." Adam blushes from that, "And... I barely remember this one where I was in this grand ball... I think you were a prince, and out of everyone else there, you chose me to dance with you."

"Oh yeah, I remember... This is so weird, people don't really remember dreams, but every time I dream about you, I remember them like they were movies."

"This is strange..." Merrick sat up, and looked at his hands and feet, "It seems like we have the exact same dreams... Only when we're dreaming about each other though."

"You're making it sound like a bad thing," Adam casual said as he deftly felt along Merrick's smooth tummy, "It sounds really romantic, actually."

"I'm concerned, Adam." Merrick said, "Unless this is normal for humans, this has me worried. Because this is not normal for merfolk."

"What? So you think we're going toooo... Lose our minds if we keep having these sort of dreams?"

"N-No, but..."

"Just don't overthink it. I don't think it's that big of a deal. Besides, in every dream we've had like this, we always end up together." Adam hits up, and kisses Merrick's cheek, "Maybe it's a good sign, hun." Adam gets up, gaining Merrick's gaze onto that manly fuzz-butt as he goes to get dressed, "I think we have just enough time to get lunch, and then rehearsal at the Waltz before the performance tonight."

"Right..." Merrick says as he gets up to get ready.

~~~

"This place seems rather exciting." Donna said as she looks about in her seat, at a table in the Dream Waltz.

"So this is where you work now?" Luther asked, "I don't remember you wanting to be a singer when you were a kid."

"I only work here part-time." Adam answered, "The Captain is still having to halve our hours at the Fish House, so I still need to perform here."

"Our boy - A local star!" Donna said with much zeal.

"I'm not a star, Mom," Adam chuckled, "I just work here. I don't even sing that often, only half the time. The other half I'm one of the back-up dancers and such."

"All the same, its still work." Luther said, "I'm glad that you're still putting in so much effort. You make me proud of you."

"It's nothing, really..." Adam said, a little embarrassed.

"So what's the performance tonight again?" Donna asked.

"Oh yeah, the owner of the place is doing a Disney-themed show for the week. Thing is, we're really short-handed, so we had to get a few volunteers here and there - even Jerry has to perform with us tonight with his girlfriend."

"Jerry's the owner, right? How many people are going into this performance?"

"About 14 people for it." Adam said.

"14?!" Donna said, wide-eyed, "What kind of show IS this?!"

"They're featuring 7 of the classic Disney movies." Adam explained, "That's 7 couples. And as of right now, a lot of the regular staff happens to be unavailable, and Jerry already paid for all of the expenses. Most of us have been rehearsing as much as we can, but a few of the other professionals are going to have to wing it."

"I just can't believe you can just go up there all the time in front of so many people," Donna scoffed, "I can never do it."

"That's not what I remember," Luther said, "1962, when we were-"

"LUTHER!" Donna slapped his arm hard, making her husband smirk and laugh.

"Ohhh, really?" Adam grinned as he picked up his cherry coke, "What happened back then, Da-" Adam's alarm on his phone started to ring, "Ah damn, I gotta get ready." He said as he turned off the alarm.

"Oh, ah, good luck, sweetie!" Donna said hastily, "Break a leg!"

"Knock'em dead!" Luther called out, holding out his bottle of Schmernoff.

~~~

"Alright, all set," Adam said as he looked at his gold brooch holding a short red cape with glitter cold trim. Also wearing a grey vest over a white button-up shirt and large red cuffs around his wrists that have a large, pointed edge on the top, same as his red boots with yellow jewels on the buckles. He smiles as he adjusted his Robin Hood-like sharp red hat on his head, adorned with a long smart feather on the top.

"It's still not fair!" Merrick exclaimed in the midst of the preparations. Adam looked and smirked as he is still arguing with Syrinx.

"We both signed up, and I got the part," Syrinx said, wearing a purple, glittering bejeweled shell bra, and a large dazzling green velvet half dress that covers her thighs and left leg, also sporting some elegant lime green high-heels, wearing her auburn hair in a wild pony tail, adorned with a hair comb with a shiny fork over a glittered shell with pearls, "Fair is fair~"

"I know it sucks, buddy. It is what it is." Kevin has his hair groomed neatly as he wears a sleeveless shite shirt with a red sash tied around his sash around his waist what ties to his right side, and hangs from there like a scarf. He wears tight blue jeans with large blue rhinestones around the legs, along with tall black boots.

"Oh, you freakin erased my name," Merrick rolled his eyes, "I'm the Piscien, and I'm the one whose got an instrument made out of SEA shells!" He is wearing an elegant and bold gold circlet aroung his head with mighty points around, while wearing a tight pink satin top with wide open cuffs around the end of the sleeves, while also wearing a nice pair flowing white shorts, with pink sashes draped around his waist and gold sandals on his feet.

"Yeah, well, I'm the one with the naturally red hair~" Syrinx said, almost gloating, "And I'm a girl who can actually sing. Besides, I thought your Ocalen was broken. That's why I had Kevin's cousin make a new one for you with his 3D printer." She remarked, looking at the strange, gold instrument

"Yeah. I fixed it, thank you. I found other shells to repair it." Merrick stubbornly said, before plucking up the replica Ocalen - it's basic shape is the same, but it's a lot less organic-looking, being made out of printed plastic and painted gold and adorned with small jewels. Kevin's niece got ahold of Merrick's original Ocalen, and broke it. Luckily, finding replacement shells isn't hard to find, and is safe at home on his shelf, but it's still a nuisance. "And it doesn't really feel the same," Merrick said as he looked over his instrument.

"Relax, babe." Adam said as he puts his hands on his shoulders, "Syrinx and Kevin are only going to be in town for a few more days before they go back to their place. We can be Ariel and Eric when they leave."

"Mmmlllh!" Merrick growled stubbornly.

"Is it weird that I think you're cute when you're mad?" Kevin snickered.

"Can it, Kevin." Merrick shot.

"Ooh, I'm so excited!" Belinda said. Her pink hair has been tied up in a wide bun as she wears white sleeves from her shoulders to her wrists, and wearing a silver ring on each finger. She is also wearing a silver and blue tiara, blue and white earrings with a sky blue skirt that reached to her knees, and two long white veils on either side of her legs that reached her ankles, and walking in bluish clear pumps with crystal hearts on the front. "Many full moons I have sung alone to the Sea Mother! Now other people can hear me!"

"Wow, real nice, 'Linda." Syrinx said with a smile as she observed Belinda's outfit. In comparison, Syrinx is a lot nicer, open, and understanding to Belinda as a Latolcus than Merrick ever was to her, which spurs Merrick a little, seeing as how terrified she was of him on the cruise.

"I just hope I don't screw this up..." Harold said, wearing a cream-yellow leather jacket with red tassels on the shoulders and a red sash around his torso, and a bright, sparkling medal pinned to the left side of his chest, and wearing black slacks with 3 golden cross belts around his lap, "It's been years since I played this thing..." He said while also carrying his clarinet.

"Speak for yourself," Merrick said, "You guys got the parts you wanted."

"You know," Adam said, "I wanted the Cinderella parts, Merrick, but you don't see me trying to pull Harold's jacket off."

"Oh really? That's rich." Comes an obnoxious tone, "I would think you'd go for the dress, Dr Philip."

Adam turns and smirks as Rajani and Chloe come in. Rajani wears a beautiful sari of sunshine yellow and blue along the framing of the fabric draped around her body, head, and right shoulder, with a red rose on a beautiful chain of silver, framed with emeralds. Along with Chloe, who is wearing a blue velvet coat with golden cuffs around her hands, which are complete with sharp red nails on her fingers. She also has her long hair tied in a thick braid behind her, with her head framed with a groomed fake mane with horns growing out. She also is wearing black commando boots with brown feathers glued to the tip of both. A matching red rose is pinned to her left side as she stands by her Belle.

"Oh boooy, HERE we go!" Adam said as he claps his hands once, laughing out as they came up to the group, "Awww, see what I mean, Chloe? You skip ONE night of shaving and trimming your horns, it just turns you into a walking bush doesn't it?"

"Yeah, well, one of us needs to be a bear," Chloe crossed her arms, "And since YOU'RE playing a prancing fairy-boy tonight, I need to fill in for you, rat bastard."

"Aaand you're sure you two HAVE to fight tonight??" Merrick asked, "I feel tense enough as it is."

"What are you talking about, we're getting along great." Chloe said, "No blood on the floor and my hands means we're having an EXCELLENT night."

"Oh please, all you two do every night here is fight with each utter." Rajani said.

"Bitch, please," Adam effeminately said, "This ain't a fight."

"Yeah. I kick his ass like, all the time," Chloe said, "And that's just getting started."

"You guys really can't say anything nice and simple?" Merrick asked, honestly not getting it.

"Um... Honey," Adam held his hands about, "There is nothing nice about the animal before you."

"Chloe??" Rajani nagged. Chloe blinks again, and looks at him.

"Well on that note, that doesn't leave much for conversation."

"It's not that hard, guys, just quit killing each other at every turn. Like this." Merrick turned to the Indian in gold drapery, "Raja, that is a stunning necklace you have on, it really compliments from your gold sari. Are those new earrings?"

"Why yes they are~" Rajani says as she twinkles the red jeweled earrings with green rhinestones around them, "And I love how you wear the color pink dere, looking quite pristine with a boyish charm about you with a hint of elegance."

Merrick and Rajani look to their respective partners.

"Oh, you're right, honey," Chloe said as he stroke's Rajani's cheek, "I'll give it a shot." She clears his throat, and steps up to Adam, "Adam, you are looking very slimming tonight, your anorexia is setting in quite nicely, even though you still have sizes to go before you can squeeze into that lil wedding dress."

Rajani and Merrick groan as their shoulders dropped.

"Aw thank you, for that glittering sentiment, Chloe," Adam replied, "And might I say that your fangs are looking as ravishing as ever." He then pointed his finger to his own teeth, "You could almost ignore the little piece of flesh such between there from your last feeding."

"Huh. And here I thought Raj's panties made the perfect dental floss for me-"

"Chloe!!" Rajani's face turns bright red, "Please!"

"Fine, have your stupid war." Merrick sighed, "Can you two at least behave for the show?"

"Ugh, fine. Truce, Mimi?" Adam said.

"Mercy is for the weak, faggot." Chloe snarked. She grunts and staggers when she gets a firm slap from Rajani, "Alright, fine, I'll shut it for now, Drew."

"Ugh, I can't believe you talked me into this." Comes Yuri's voice. Chloe looks, and smiles.

"Now here's what we need! A nice serving of apple sushi!"

"Yeah, with a nice bit of poison Fugu, you hairy dyke." Yuri said irritably. She comes in with her hair in a styled in fashionable rolls with a twin pair of shiny red chopsticks in her hair. She comes in wearing a bright kimono with breezy blue on the top that washes into yellow around the skirt, with a lighter blue with red designs on the sleeves, which are held together in front of her to hide her hands in a formal manner.

"Oh hey, you made it!" Kevin said, "You bring your violin?"

Yuri glared at him. "Oh, yeah. Sure. Because I'm a smart, prissy, little Asian girl, that means I've done all kinds of violin recidals! Be the sharp prodigy, right??"

"Sorry, just thought you were playing an instrument," Kevin said, "What're YOU playing?"

"..." Yuri's eyes looked to the side as her sleeves parted, showing a classic violin and bow hidden within, "Violin..."

"Hah!" Syrinx smirks, "Way to bust balls, Yuri."

"What's the problem, Yuri?" Adam asked, "You didn't seem to mind performing tonight Snow White tonight."

"I don't. It's who I'm saddled with."

"Oh please!" Sasha says as she comes in next to Yuri, wearing a blue and red short kimono with an elegant ribbons in an X over her chest, with lofty white sleeves, grey samurai pants, and her hair tied back in a ponytail with fluffy white feathers, "Would you stohp complainin? It's only for a few nights."

"This is NOT what I had in mind when Merrick said I'd be paired with a handsome partner." Yuri growled.

"I said she played a handsome PRINCE." Merrick said, trying not to giggle.

"There were no female pronouns in your pitch, Princess." Yuri said, "I'm not even gay or bi!"

"Oi, neither am I, though you don't see me screamin about it." Sasha said.

"I just REALLY don't like being tricked or led around. Period!"

"Gurl, you think YOU got problems?!" Jamal said as he and Nick came in. Nick is scantily dressed in beads, a headband with handsome feathers, along with a blue necklace on his chest with a white arrowhead pendant, while sporting a rather tasteful loincloth adorned with beads and leaves and a raccoon tail on his left hip, and a glittering teal humming bird pinned to his right hip, while also walking in some dainty moccasins, and had painted a line of red spikes around his right bicep.

"So what's the matter with you??" Yuri said, her attitude not changing.

"Look at me!" Jamal said as he hold his arms up, "Look what they got me doin." Jamal wears a shiny soldier helmet while wearing a broad metal plate over his chest and with an old fashioned musket strapped to his back, along with tight jeans and armored boots, with a golden compass dangling from his thick, wide belt.

Yuri gave Jamal a glance, and back to his eyes, "Let me guess. The Janitor?"

Chloe squealed as she clutched her own mouth, snorting and doubling over as she holds back the furious laughter as Jamal stood there to let his arms flop down, and gave them both a dark look.

"Y'all are lucky I don't beat women." He said lowly. "No! They making me do John Smith! John Frickin Smith!"

"What's wrong with that?" Merrick asked, "You look good in that get-up."

"John Smith was a white boy, fool!" Jamal exclaimed, "The same white guys that came to a America and screwed everything up!"

"Well, you get to screw THIS Indian now~" Nick said with a flirt.

"Escuse me," Rajani said, "I'm the REAL Indian here," She then throws her regal sari in a graceful, snob-like fashion, "You're just a Native American knock off."

"Hahaha, aight, fair nuff." Nick chuckled.

"Gheheheh, it's your fault, man," Adam snickered, "You're the one who signed up at the last minute."

"And Jerr-heheheh-" Chloe can't stop laughing as she covers her mouth, "Hmmmhmmmhmmm," She clenches her eyes shut as she stomps her foot.

"Yo, I'mma mess you up, one' a these days." Jamal said to Chole.

"And Jerry already signed him and his wife up for Aladdin and Jasmine." Adam said, "If you wanted that, you should've signed up sooner."

"I DIDN'T want Aladdin!" Jamal said.

"Well... Nncchh," Harold snickered, "Maybe you can meet'em half way and go as 'Will' Smith..."

"That ain't funny, man" Jamal told him.

"Naw, that is funny," Yuri said as she snapped her fan open, and wafted herself softly, "I would think you would want to play a character chosen by the 'Thug Life'."

"Oh my God..." Harold turns around from the boiling situation.

"Shut up, Mulan, dayum!" Jamal shot back.

"I'm Snow White, genius." Yuri retorted.

"Pssh, yeah right," Jamal crossed his arms, "You more like Piss Yellow."

"EEEHHKK!" Chloe shrieks as she grabs onto a nearby support beam of the building, as she tries not collapse from cackling.
