a writing prompt i found that made me thing of roseleech.... so I wrote a story

Slate gray eyes scan the horizon, capturing the rising sun. A petite young man stood by the water, enjoying the morning rays of the sun.

“Little rosebud! Put on some sunscreen, before the sun finishes rising.”

The call came from a tall woman, His mother. The young man, by the name of Riddle, begrudgingly turned away from the ascending sun. The seventeen-year-old placed himself down by his mother, smearing a thin layer of sunscreen on his uncovered arms. He stood slowly and deliberately, beginning to approach the shoreline once more. Carrying a small pail, the young man began searching for ‘gifts of the coral sea’. Riddle padded gently across the sand, not noticing the slow lowering of the tide. Likewise neither did the young mer hiding in the shallows, which were growing more shallow by the minute. Spotting a turquoise item gleaming in the sun, Riddle gave a lazy jog toward it. Small soft hands reached for the item gingerly, never quite reaching their target. The small young man was abruptly snatched into strong and slimy arms, the shock caused him to drop his pail full of trinkets.

“Goldfishie!”

The loud exclamation filled Riddle’s stomach with butterflies. He began wriggling in defiance, subsequently knocking into the other young man violently.

“Floyd Leech, release me this instant!” The shout left the smaller’s mouth as more of a furious whisper.

The large Moray mer ignored the seemingly upset human, opting to instead coil his tail around the latter. A dangerous look crept upon the eel’s speckled features.

“Are you not happy to see me?” the question was a displeased whisper.

Pausing his revolt, Riddle stopped to think. Was he happy to see Floyd? A few moments into his thoughts and face flushed nearly the same crimson as his hair. Silver desperately avoided olive and gold as said young man prayed his eyes wouldn’t betray his thoughts. With a gentle pull of his tail, Floyd had himself and Riddle face to face; Their noses barely a centimeter apart. The latter’s face turned an even deeper shade of red (if possible) and he began flailing once more. This caused the young mer to frown deeply at the human boy.

“Hey, Goldfish. If you don’t stop that, I might accidentally squeeze you too hard,” Floyd gave a menacing grin as his grip tightened around the crimson-faced male.

At this, the smaller male ceased all movement. The large mer giggled mirthfully, observing Riddle’s apparent distress. Suddenly, Floyd’s gaze caught the pail that had been discarded in his carelessness. Spilling from it, an array of sea glass in various hues of reds, pinks, blues, and greens. A select few shells had fallen, some a soft pink, others deep black. What truly caught the mer’s attention was the teal scale that sat amongst the rest of the trinkets. It caught his eye due to the fact that it was the only item in that particular color. Loosening his grip, Floyd goes to grab the small item. In a sudden burst of desperation Riddle does the first thing entering his head; slapping the mer’s hand aggressively. It doesn’t hurt but it sure shocks the eel enough for him to pull away.

“What was that for?” Floyd growls, face darkened with aggravation.

Noticing the change in the mer’s demeanor, Riddle -once again- acted upon impulse… and kissed the eel on the cheek. Aforementioned young man paused, binking. Once. Twice. Three times. Suddenly, a smile split the speckled face of the eel, exposing sharp teeth. It was in the same moment that Riddle realized what he’d done. With a small wiggle, he was freed from his much welcome captor’s grasp. A quick scramble and RIddle had begun to recollect his treasures. He then clamored in his mother’s direction, embarrassment painting his face pink. A loud whine pierced his ears as he walked, causing his brow to furrow in slight annoyance.

“What do you want?” Riddle  huffed, returning to the eel mer.

Floyd pouts, gesturing wildly at the water, which was roughly 80 yards away, then to the sand beneath him. The wild gestures continue before the eel sighs exasperatedly. Riddle rolls his eyes before setting his pail gingerly beside a boulder. A general survey of his person would hint at his apparent lack of muscle. Riddle ruthlessly snatched the end of the mer’s tail and began to tug,

“OW! Watch it Rosehearts!” pain caused Floyd’s voice to crack.

Riddle paused his assault/help. He’d never heard the eel call him by either of his respective names. Ever. Dropping the tail, the boy turned to its owner.

“If I wanted to be dragged back I’d have done it myself,” Floyd whined.

“Well, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” Riddle gestured to himself, “But I physically CANNOT carry you.”

The mer blinked, then frowned. He coiled up, appearing more as a snake than an eel.

“Riddle dear!” Mrs.Rosehearts called, sounding not too far off.

Riddle’s head snapped upward in alarm.

“Yes mother!?” Panic evident in his voice .

The tall woman appeared from behind a boulder. She donned a black one-piece swimsuit with red roses. At the sight of a coiled up eel mer, her blue eyes widened.

“Darling wha- who is this?” her question was incredulous, laced with mild horror as Floyd gave her a toothy smile.

“Mother, this is Floyd Leech, one of my classmates.” Riddle nods at the mer offhandedly.

“Well what’s he doing so far from the water?”

At the question Floyd puffed out his cheeks and buried his face in his tail. Riddle gave the mer a momentary glare before turning back to his mother with an artificial smile.

“He got distracted whilst conversing with me and failed to notice the fall of the tide.”

His reply was but a half-truth,leaving out the bits where he was snatched from the ground and squeezed harshly.The reply seemed to have eased his mother’s tension and she turned to the eel mer with a soft smile.

“Would you like some help hauling him back to the water?”

Her question startled Riddle for a moment. Then, he nodded vigorously. A few seconds later Floyd was hoisted up by his armpits -much to his surprise- and Riddle had some of the mer’s tail. Floyd squealed in shock and excitement this caused the human bay to give translucent fins a light squeeze. This earned him a gentle smack from the end of Floyd’s tail.

“Bleh-” Riddle spat, having had his mouth open when he was hit, “Why are you salty?”

The eel gave a semi-malicious giggle.

“I live in the sea,” he wheezed, “It’s saltwater goldfishie.”

The redhead rolled his eyes and gave a harsh squeeze to the appendage in his arms. Mrs.Rosehearts raises a near-perfectly trimmed eyebrow at the interaction.

“How do you know each other?”

The clipped inquiry caused both men to figuratively disappear in thought, whilst the woman and her son walked across the warm sand.

“We go to school together,” the eel

Riddle however remained silent, thinking about their first meeting ten years ago. At the feel of cool water on his heels the young man was brought back to his senses. A few more steps were taken before Riddle seemed to have disappeared beneath the placid waters, unintentionally dragging Floyd with him. Mrs.Rosehearts stands, flabbergasted, as the seemed to be a scuffle before her son resurfaced.

“Well,” the young Rosehearts huffed, “That was certainly… something”

The young man avoided eye contact with his mother out of sheer embarrassment. A few moments later two speckled faces pop out of the water. The woman is shocked to find that they are nearly identical. The twin with upturned eyes looked at Mrs.Rosehearts analytically.

“What happened?”

The woman’s tone was clipped as she went to take a step forward.Her progress was hindered by a clawed fin.

“Your son fell off the undertow.” a smooth voice said, with practiced patience.

The woman stood and stared, flushing in the same way her son does.

“Mother, this is Jade Leech, another classmate,” the boy just barely whispers.

A young mer with upturned eyes and a calm aura about him (them?) nodded in acknowledgement. His smile left a feeling of slight discomfort in the pit of the woman’s stomach. The petite young man sat in the water, aided by two finned hands. Slowly, the mer twins relinquish the human into the arms of his mother, causing the visible discomfort in her expression to melt slightly. Riddle, now standing with the back of his head in his mother’s chest, gives a shy smile to the twins.

“Well, it was nice to meet you, Jade, Floyd,” the woman gave a polite half-bow to the twin eels.

The twins bow in unison and smile at the woman.

“It’s our pleasure.”

with that last phrase they sink into the ocean and swim away. The woman marches her son back to the shore carrying a pail of sea glass and shells, unaware of the stolen teal scale in her son’s hand.

TWST Demigod headcannons

Heartslabyul

Riddle: unsurprisingly son of Apollo. His father is the god of music, medicine and archery as well as God of the sun. Surprisingly, Riddle's specialty was not medicine, much to his mother's chagrin. He is an exceptionally skilled archer and a decent musician, unfortunately Riddle is more likely to take a life by accident trying to save it than save it. Because that is the curse of Apollo children; you're excellent at one thing associated with him, so so at another, and absolute dog water at the third.

Trey: Son of Demeter. He is skilled with plants and has his own garden. That's why his sweets and treats are so delicious, because most of them have fresh grown ingredients, that are probably laced with the blessing of a Demeter's child.

Ace: Now based on his behavior , one might assume he's a child of Hermes. But you're wrong. He's a child of Apollo, like Riddle. However he excels in music, but don't hand him a bow and arrow, he'll end up hitting everything but the target. All the traits that make him seem like a child of Hermes were things he learned from his older brother who is a child of Hermes.

Deuce: our little loosey deucey is a son of Hades. I like to believe that the main reason for his abundance of fights in middle school were due to broken oaths, promises and lies; the things Hades and his children, do not like. Now in consideration of the big three Hades happens to be the shortest. while most of his kids have inherited his short gene, Deuce didn't, he got the blind gene. Most days he wears contacts, but on the off chance he's wearing glasses, leave the poor dude alone his head hurts from wearing contacts for two weeks straight again. He's always on time to class and it freaks people day that he seems to appear from shady corners, which he does, children of the underworld are able to do something called shadow travel, which kinda speaks for itself. Now unfortunately children of Hades do not regain strength in a similar fashion to other demigods. While other demigods use nectar and ambrosia to heal, children of Hades need sugar, this means he constantly has some sugary drink on him, which actually infuriates Riddle to no end.

Cater: son of Dionysus, the god of wine, theater and dolphins(don't ask) the train Carter is able to mask his sadness so well is because his strong suit is acting. Cater has a thing for grapes, it kinda just sits in his decor without his notice. When he avoids juice because if he gets mad near it it ferments so it either makes alcohol and he gets in trouble or it makes stinky old juice.

Savanaclaw

Leona: son of Thanatos. Now one might think that his napping habits would warrant him a spot in cabin 15 (Hypnos cabin) but you are incorrect. He's a child of Thanatos, the incarnation of death, which is pretty befitting considering how his unique magic basically makes him that in his home. When not under the spell he's under, causes him to take on his cousin's(child of Hypnos) exhaustion -because they work at a pace and schedule that all the sleeping they would usually do cannot be done- Leona is a diligent and hyperfocused worker. That's the reason he passes his classes now. He, as a child of the underworld, is capable of shadow travel and uses it to avoid ruggie- it's dumb cause he can do it too- and find peaceful places to nap away from rook.

Jack: son of Aphrodite. Now alot of people at camp assume he's an Ares camper, as a matter of fact it's what he assumed (and secretly hoped for)when he got there. However when he was claimed by his mother he wasn't upset. He is a very standoffish person due to the nature of being a child of Aphrodite. Most people assume they're a bunch of superficial bimbos (some of em are, but don't tell anyone Jack said that) so it always shocks them when they find out jack is one of them. The reason people are drawn to him is due to his godly parentage and it causes him to ward away anyone who approaches him. But underneath all that rough and tumble he's a big sweetheart with a soft spot for plants, romance, and a good bubble bath.

Ruggie: son of Hades. Now THIS is one of the Hades kids who inherited the short gene. He's small dark and cunning, sure to the way he grew up most assume he's a son of Hermes, but he just can't help but steal stuff (unfortunate kleptomaniac) he loves pomegranates the smell and the taste. He always smells like the fruit and is nearly always holding one. One thing that freaks people out about ruggie is that he seems to always be talking to air. What they don't know is that ruggie can see and communicate with the dead. He ends up talking to students' passed pets and/or family members half of the time. Since he's a child of the underworld he's capable of shadow travel, but doesn't really use it unless he's struggling to find Leona, in these cases he flips down on top of (to be a nuisance) or beside him and chows down on the pomegranate he'd stowed in his pocket.

Octavinelle

Azul: son of Athena. Why do you think he's so dang smart? Everything is essentially a battle strategy to him which makes it easier. The main reason he was bad at school in his formative years before he started going ham with the studying was because he was dyslexic. He still is but reading is easier now. Is oddly attached to the moon. When nervous or overstimulated he tends to burst into random ancient Greek.

Jade: son of Zeus. I know he's afraid of heights but it's funny. When he gets upset(very rarely) storms begin brewing. Seeks out the rain eagerly during storms. Had accidentally zapped people in a pool due to extreme excitement (we all know Jade doesn't express himself often so that zap was all the excitement showing itself)

Floyd: oddly enough soon of Poseidon. Crazy to think the twins have different dads. Anywho, Zeus can't tell the two apart so Floyd is the only non Zeus big three kid that's safe in the sky. He lives the ocean and loves water in general, thought it was normal to talk to regular fish as a kid until he beat another mer up for making fun of him for talking to regular fish. Bro was flabbergasted when he found out he could speak to horses. Visits the equestrian club solely for the horses. His mood changes like the tide.

Scarabia

Jamil: son of Aphrodite. First of all, you should have seen this coming- look at him... He's gorgeous. His unique magic is actually a branch off of his demigod powers. Being a child of Aphrodite granted him the power of charm speak. This means that any and all people without the power or any power adjacent to it, that are attracted to men (crucial detail) are able to be... Persuaded to do or say anything he asks of them. he's also blessed with the ability to rock any outfit/hj

Kalim: son of Hephaestus. He's loud and optimistic, but also extremely innovative. Builds little mini machines when he can't sit still. sweater pockets are constantly filled with little mini gears. He is extremely kind hearted and it shocks other Hephaestus kids how he is based on his upbringing. Is nearly always covered in oil or soot when not around his family or at school. Has built Lilia a fully functioning guitar with no explanation for his birthday.

Pomefiore

Vil: child of Hypnos. It's funny because what his father does best is sleep and vil is far too busy to do that so all the exhaustion he has is transferred to his cousin, (Leona), which is why he sleeps like the dead at night. He loves a good spa day (because he naps most of it)

Rook: son of Zeus. Kind of explains his creep tendencies. Loves the sky more than anything and spends time frolicking in thunderstorms. Flies way too high on the broom without a care in the world, casually drops from the sky for funsies.

Epel: son of Pluto. Hates broken promises. When he's nervous or upset gems and precious metals tend to pop up at his feet. Sometimes shadows are shifty near him and it freaks people out. Loves flying in his broom but is terrified of going into the sky (Zeus will strike all who are his brothers' children down) loves working on the orchard, is terrified of killing the trees in an emotional outburst.

Ignihyde

Idia and Ortho: legacies of Pluto. They're both descendants of a child of Pluto. That might explain the flaming hair. But it also explains idia's paleness. Idia wants so desperately what every child of the underworld can do, to melt into the shadows, however his hair puts him at an advantage because he creates constant shadows that he has complete and total control over. I can't say much for Ortho but he had powers unknown before... The accident.

Diasomnia

Malleus: son of Neptune. When he gets upset bro accidentally conjures a full on hurricane. Constantly smells like the ocean despite never having been there. If he angry laughs the ground trembles. As a dragon he's able to fly but doesn't because.... Well Zeus. Doesn't really understand the appeal of land, has tried many times to escape the castle for the sole purpose of getting in some kind of water (he failed miserably)

Lilia: son of Hades. You want to know how he appears behind people? Now you do; shadow travel. Is a hater of broken promises. Knows where his kids are because of the shadows. When he's pissed things die... Plants, animals... The odd person. Nothing too bad. Loves his little brothers with his whole heart. Likes tomatoes like ruggie likes pomegranates.

Sebek: son of Mars. It explains his amazing fighting prowess and his capacity for war plans. Rides horses because they're crucial to war but prefers spears to swords (he would never tell Lilia that) and enjoys sparring with Silver for the occasional jolt.

Silver: son of Jupiter, champion of Pluto. While he's a son of Jupiter, giving him control over the wind and sky he prefers the darkness, mostly because of how he was raised. Pledged himself to Pluto to remain with Lilia (Lilia's father was rather touched to say the least [he cried like a baby in pure joy for his son]) it's hard to piss silver off but once he's mad a tornado is forming. When he's pissed he takes everybody out. Has zapped Sebek while in a stream as children and got thoroughly praised for it oddly enough. Has fallen asleep in the sky.
