[fakepeppinomybeloved]

the other day I watched the 2021 Su1c1de Squad movie again and since I'm PT pilled I couldn't not see king shark as Fake

Gustavo is Ratcatcher OBV

Peppino is Bloodsport but instead of having a parental bond with ratcatcher he and Gus gain a Close Bond which is something Peppino has a hard time with

the Noise is Peacemaker ONLY cause of his pissing contest with Bloodsport throughout the movie (also they both got funny uniforms)

Noisette is for sure Harley (you can't look me in the eyes and tell me Harley wouldn't do the "four-feet" gag you can NOT)

Pepperman would be Polkadot man ?_? but instead of mommy issues he uses the polkadots for his art

if not for the above points Vigi would 100% be either bloodsport or peacemaker but thats ok he can be Flag

idfk Pizzahead is the scientist and pizzaface is starro IDK

none of these personalities fit but thats FINE i like it anyways

FAR OUT AT SEA

"Shiro is determined to know if the new human research base is a risk for his fellow merfolk with the help of a marine biologist and research intern Adam."

This fic is part of the Once Upon the Seashore PDF (get it for free on my Ko-fi)

Chapter 4 of 4

Deep under the waves, Shiro needed a very long time to put himself back together. He was not as naive anymore, he didn’t have the strength to defy the stormy skies and the furious currents of the ocean and venture deep inland among unsuspecting humans. For a time, he could not think about ships without shivering, he could not talk about the base and what happened there. How he put everything he held dear in danger by getting close to the edge of humanity and pretending he knew better.

It was quite a while before he wanted to talk to his fellow merfolk about the surface.

“As a species, humans are a threat, more occupied with power struggles between them than for each other,” he told to Keith one day after he pressed enough, “ among them, there are individuals worth meeting but keeping our distance is the best thing we can do, for all of us” 

Despite everything, Shiro’s mind wandered sometimes, wondering about the fate of that one person that was so worthy, their half smiles, and what they could have had with another set of circumstances. No matter how unfortunate the escape from the base had ended, it would have not been possible at all without Adam, who chose to stick with him the one time that mattered. Shiro owed him his life, yet he hadn’t even said a proper goodbye.

– o –

As time passed, Adam kept dedicating himself to marine life research, …and taking advantage of his increasingly better positions to destroy all information related to merfolk he came across. He considered it a way to ensure that not seeing Shiro again was for a reason. It was a just and good reason, right? Making sure that whenever Shiro crossed his mind it didn’t spiral into all the unsolved questions and the what-ifs… All the memories and hopes crashed down alongside his already little respect for military research. He found someone amazing and now was cursed to never see him again, unable to even speak about it.

One late afternoon, right when he sat down to review the draft of a paper by his lab assistant about microbial sea pipe life forms, there was a knock on his door.

“It’s not office hours,” Adam complained.

“That’s why I’m here.”

The familiarity of that voice crashed onto Adam’s brain like a tsunami wave. He scrambled to the door and found Shiro outside, dressed in a uniform from one of the institute’s suppliers. 

He looked different in all sorts of ways the scar now healed, another one on his forehead that turned that whole section of hair white… a missing arm. 

“What are you doing here?” Adam blurted after a few seconds, sounding a bit drier than he intended, “What if someone sees you? it’s not safe”

“Safe from what?” Shiro retorted, amused in spite of himself, “The sleep-deprived assistants?”

“I don’t know, just, you should not be here!”

“I wanted to see you.”

I wanted to see you.

“What for?” Adam hissed, looking out the corridor, wary of any passerby.

“you helped me, you really did, it could have been so much worse and I wanted… I should at least say thanks, or explain myself to you”

Adam pulled Shiro get into his office and locked the door. He himself had made sure nobody could link Shiro with the incident at the base, his own hands had destroyed all evidence and he knew there was nothing to worry about. And yet.

“Adam, I...” Shiro started.

“You don’t need to explain anything. You owe me nothing, I owe you nothing.” Adam interrupted him. “Officially nothing happened. I made sure of it”

They stood in front of each other, evaluating the silence. Should they pretend nothing ever happened? Or worse, that what happened was not important? Adam had sacrificed his life project, yet he still wondered. 

Shiro had undergone a truly traumatic experience, but he found himself here, looking for one human. They both had acted in the name of doing the right thing, in a situation way above their capabilities with the very real option of their lives being over, figuratively and literally, they almost did. 

And they both were looking at each other anyway, with the sun setting through the window, and the sound of waves crashing on the shore as they have done for eons. 

They both had survived. Adam had to smile and Shiro had to mirror him.

Maybe they could just pick up from where they left it, go to the nearest town to catch up with a friend, and let go of the strain of just surviving for what seemed years with something like… a date?

Yeah, a date sounded about right.
