It was funny, how things had turned out. Gabriel could have never imagined that he would meet a merman, let alone enter into a physical relationship with one. If he stopped for long enough to think about it, the facts would likely blow his mind. Luckily, he was too caught up in Eric's touches to be using his brain at the moment. "That so?" he asked, arching a brow at the joke. It sounded awfully exclusive to him, something that was typically said when two (or more) people began dating seriously. He had to remind himself then that merfolk practices were undoubtedly different to those of humans and that Eric likely meant nothing by it. Still, he sought clarification. "Nobody, huh?"
Nodding along with Eric's words, Gabe found himself grinning. "Going slow is overrated anyway," he said, leaning in and nuzzling his face into Eric's neck. Brushing the area with his lips, he trailed a line of kisses across the skin before moving up to the merman's jaw. "What else did you wanna do with me?" he whispered, hands slipping down to run across Eric's chest as he lightly nicked at the other man's earlobe with his teeth. The longer they stood under the stream, slick and naked and so close together, the more interested Gabe was to see just how fast they could take things.
