#I also keep forgetting to mention but Kelek probabaly think this is all super cute and sweet when he hears

;3; I luv them

Snaps nuzzles and hold earns him a sweet hum and a wet bun filled lap. Seabun's free hand winds around Snaps shoulders, the one on his face sliding back with Snaps movement to cradle his skull.

He knows he shouldn’t be out of the water for too long. While capable of parsing oxygen from air instead of water, his lungs are weak with virtually no practice. He’d never had a reason before.

But still he hums in pleasure, cuddling back into the beautiful skeleton while his skin shifts a little under Snaps hands, his tendrils puffing up just enough to twist with his phalanges.

It’s both comfortable and uncomfortable, but the urgency of water isn’t nearly strong enough to pull him away when he feels his skeletal possible mate relax into slumber.

He’s happy to hold him and be held for as long as he can. Quiet pleased hums vibrating his chest while he cuddles his head down into Snaps skull, his ears coming to gentle stroke and scent him.

Eventually the call for water is strong though, his flesh starting to feel dry and wrong while his mind feels tired with its limited oxygen.

So he snuggles a little closer, easing Snaps back awake with little affectionate nudges. He gives Snaps' skull a familiar, though not from Seabun specifically, chaste kiss before he scoots his way back to the water and gladly accepts any help from Snaps to slide back in.

He’s puffy and soft the instant he’s submerged again, golden eyes bright and face pleased in soft pink that gives a lilac hue.

Seabunny!Kelek spying on land!Snaps from the water after he sees him one day. Just thinks he's really neat. Does his best to stay hidden b/c he's a silly mer creature, but he's not the fastest. I imagine Snaps is p tuned into his environment, especially when scouting, so I doubt he's unaware of his little water shadow for long at all. Maybe doesn't know /what/ it is, but its not actually bothering him so whatever.

Seabun is just completely enamored. So he does what silly mer people do and finds a v pretty opalized wood or fossil. Probably super nervous b/c he's not sure he can hide fast enough. But he waits till Snaps is around again before he sneaks up and then.

Splsh. Plat.

Snaps most likely sees his goofy tail and maybe even his bright pink booty gills whoosh behind a rock formation. Moments later Seabun peaks out from a different spot in the formation to watch what he does.
