The first challenge of the day is waking up, especially on an off day, which is usually when Nico is the one who's conscious at the crack of dawn. First order of business, smile at the sight of Jack conked out on the other side of the bed and drooling into his coat, then gets up and goes to the fresh seafood market for his choice of raw fish.

Next, spend a good hour or two chatting up the local fish farmers and familiar selkie faces at the docks (and try really hard not to drool over the fresh king salmon). Carry home his choice 'catches', run into Jack as he's blearily stumbling out into the kitchen, and give his bf a kiss on the nose. Pretend like he doesn't see Jack's thousand-yard stare as Nico just happily loads his raw fish into the bottom shelf of the fridge and calls it day.

It's important for a seal to get their daily bout of exercise in. Today's a nice day, so head over to the rec centre where Jack can do his hot girl stretches and Nico can slip his coat on before tipping into the saltwater pool, zipping around under water until he misses Jack (takes about fifteen minutes or less).

Poke head out and splash flippers and make general seal noises in the direction of the athletic area until his husband finally notices and finally comes over. Demand approximately fifty nose boops. Fling that tiny devils red fish floaty across the pool and destroy it fifty times (it deserves it). Swim up to Jack and go 🥺🥺🥺 until his husband goes oh my god stop I have your snacks right here will you stop acting like Ive been starving you for days. Eat all the snacks. Swim until tired. Home time.

Get back home and immediately devour several fish over the kitchen sink bc he's so hungry while Jack watches on with a thousand-yard stare. Get a scrub daddy and industrial-strength cleaning solution handed to him after he's done. Spend twenty minutes scrubbing the sink until Jack is satisfied. Cook a human meal together.

Midday: it's nap time. Toss the fluffy coat over a pile of throw pillows and nap with Jack lying on his chest for upwards to three hours. Cuddle his snoozing bf when he wakes up. Cuddle some more on the couch while coaxing more nose kisses out of Jack.

They've got standing dinner plans with some of the boys tonight (Mexican food, because it's two-dollar tacos and bottomless pitcher night and they intend to make the most of it.) Shower first, bc Jack says he stinks like the pool. Loot through his bf's closet until he finds an oversized Michigan sweater that smells like Jack's cologne. Go back into the den and realize Jack's already dressed to go--perfect white sneakers, backwards baseball cap, wash jeans, and a familiar number 13 devils sweater. Proceed to sweep Jack off his feet and make out against the kitchen counter until they're going to be fifteen minutes late.

Finally leave the condo, hand in hand, laughing at each other as they walk onto the street. (Nico says he wants fish tacos. Jack will get anything but.)
