The night before had been a good one. They’d had a wonderful dinner, then went for a swim and ended up making love on the beach. It was a great night. They did make it home before finally passing out. The sunlight coming through the window woke him up and he smiled, just watching Micha sleep for a bit. He kissed her bare shoulder, the blankets having slipped down a bit, then got out of bed and stretched. A nice, hot shower and then breakfast were definitely in order. He gave one last glance at her before heading into the bathroom. He turned the water on and took care of his other morning business. When the shower was nice and hot, he stepped in and sighed as the water washed over him. About two seconds later, he hit the floor with a loud thud, pulling the shower curtain down with him. Startled out of a sound sleep both by the noise and a sudden disturbance in the Force, Micha sat upright and looked for the source. Glancing to the other side of the bed she confirmed Steve wasn’t in it with her, but his spot was still warm. He hadn’t been gone long. She heard the shower running, so he must be in there. “Steve?” She called out, climbing out of bed. “Micha! Can you come in here?!” He, fortunately, hadn’t hurt himself when he fell. The water was still beating down on him and he just stared. The island was playing games again. He didn’t seem to be in distress, judging from his emotions in the force, merely surprised. Him being surprised in the shower and the disturbance she’d felt earlier had her suspicious as to what had happened, but she would need to see with her own eyes. Micha opened the door to the bathroom and her eyes widened. This was certainly not something she’d have expected to happen the day before. “Did you injure yourself when your legs went out from under you?” Steve shook his head. “At least it doesn’t feel like it. If I did, it wasn’t anything serious.” Something that was already healed, or very well on the way. The tail flipped a few times and he just stared at it. “This is…..” He shook his head. “I don’t even know what to say.” The tail flipped again. “I think I’m fine, though.” Micha couldn’t help but stare. He made a very handsome merman, which stood to reason as he was a very handsome man as a human. The tail was long, like hers, stretching over the end of the tub and widening out into a broad translucent fanlike tailfin. “Well at least you look like you’re built roughly along the same lines as me, only male.” “Looks like it.” He sighed. “I just hope that it’s the same setup you have, though.” He couldn’t exactly turn the water off at that point, being unable to reach the handles from his current position. “At least this time the island fucking with me seems to be a bonus.” He grinned at her, flipping his tail again. It would make going for a swim in the ocean a lot more fun for both of them. “Let’s hope. Otherwise I’ll have to lift you to the entry pool.” As these were her human quarters in the Jedi House there was a access tube and small pool in one corner of the room, allowing her to access it from another part of the building even in her mer form. “I was stuck in my mer form for the first six weeks or so, and that was a very dull existence after the first few days.” She reached over and turned off the water, then proceeded to get towels for him to dry off. “Thanks.” He smiled as she turned the water off, holding a hand out for a towel. He started working on trying to get his tail dry and kept silently praying. He actually relaxed when he started to change again, his fin going back to being legs. “Thank god for that.” He chuckled, getting to his feet and working on getting the rest of himself completely dry. “So I guess showers are out for a while.” "Yes, it would seem so." It had been so long since she'd been only human that she barely remembered what a hot shower felt like without changing into her mer form. "Sonic showers aren't as nice but they will do the job, as will sponge baths." She'd learned over years of trial and error exactly how much skin could get wet at once without triggering a change. She couldn't help but smile though. "You'll be able to go into the deep ocean with me, there's so much to show you." "Sonic showers definitely sound interesting." He smiled. Once he was completely dry, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her softly. "You know...we could just disappear into the ocean for a while. Just the two of us." He grinned. “We could at that, but not when Kytana is so close to her time.” Micha countered, wanting to be there for her friend. “Once she’s had Sunila and everyone is doing well, then I’ll be more than happy to spend a holiday in the ocean.” Steve nodded, kissing her again. “Alright. That’s definitely a good reason to hold off.” He chuckled. “It’ll be nice having a baby around. Even if it’s not our baby.” “Even better that it isn’t our baby.” Micha countered with a smile, kissing him back and disentangling herself from his arms. The bathroom wasn’t the most comfortable place to hang out. “We can play with her and then hand her back to her parents when she starts crying or needs to be changed.” “Yes, that’s very true.” He chuckled. Rather than worrying about getting dressed he simply walked out of the bathroom, completely naked, and into the bedroom. “That part is very good.” Micha watched his nakedness with unashamed appreciation, and she wasn’t wearing a stitch either. “We could still go for a swim though, just not an extended stay.” “You know, I have been really curious about your tunnels.” He glanced over at the entry pool in the corner. “Been wondering what it’s like to travel through the house in those.” He smiled. “You could give me a tour now.” “I’d be happy to show you. I don’t think you’ve ever been in my flooded quarters on the bottom level either.” Micha smirked at him. They’d have to fix that. “So many things that we could do down there.” He smirked. “We should definitely check it out.” |
