Mer!Moon & reader | 0.7k words

That night, you already expect Moon when you hear a quiet splash from the shoreline.

You lift the corner of the blue gingham curtains and peer to the yard.

By the dock, Moon drags himself to the shore. Under your watchful eyes he crawls his way across the yard, keeping low to the ground with his elbows at straight angles.

He grabs a pinecone and though you see it coming, you still startle when it hits the window glass.

You huff and get to your feet. "Coming!"

You shuffle out to the porch, looking down upon the mer at the bottom of the stairs. "What do you want?"

"Talk", Moon says quietly and wiggles himself into a semi-comfortable position against the lowest two stairs.

You raise your brows slightly. "What about?"

Moon scrapes a claw on the stair he's resting against. "Sun thinks you're charming..."

You shift awkwardly on your feet. "I guess. So—you talked."

"Yes."

"Did you fi-uhh—Di-did you find some kind of consensus?"

"Sit?" Moon suggests, patting the stair at his eye level.

You hesitate, then plop down on the top stair like a chicken on a roost.

Moon's eyes track your every move. "Your legs have fingers", he says.

You give a bewildered snort and fold your legs criss-cross applesauce to stop him from focusing on your super weird human traits. "Come on, then", you say with a frown. "Don't keep me in suspense."

Moon snickers at your impatience. "Sun may play with you. This makes him happy." For a second his eyes soften, but it's there and gone again.

"You just—decided it was a-okay now?" you ask, incredulous.

"Giving a chance. But." His hand crawls upwards along the stair steps. He's still smiling. "If Sun plays with you, I do, too."

"I love how neither one of you is asking my opinion on this", you say dryly, looking at his creepy-crawly hand like a particularly nasty bug.

"Not a 'no'", Moon's lilting voice reminds you.

Maybe so, but: "Silence is not a sign of agreement."

Moon giggles but pulls back his hand. "What is your opinion...?" he indulges you.

You lean your elbow on your knee and your chin against the base of your palm. "I reserve the right to cut the game at my discretion", you say, trying for casual. At least you can use this apparent change of heart to elevate his opinion of you. He'd liked the apple juice, so... You go to stand up. "Would you like some apples? I can share."

Moon hesitates, then nicks his head surprisingly eagerly. "Yesss..."

You shuffle back indoors and grab the bunch of apples you'd picked from the ground in the garden, as well as a knife. With apples and a tool in tow, you return and plop back down at the top of the stairs.

You slice one of the apples in half, then slice off a smaller piece to taste. "Meh." You set the apple aside and try the next one while in your peripheral Moon tilts his head almost sideways. The second apple is perfect, delicious; fresh, crisp and juicy. You stab the blade into the apple half and offer the skewered piece to Moon across the steps.

No part of you should be surprised when Moon leans up and pulls the piece off the blade with his teeth. His eyes remain fixed on you as he chews on the apple piece, core and all.

"You're not supposed t—uh..." You shake your head. Never mind. You just cut the second half into smaller wedges and remove the core before offering the slices to Moon and contriving not to stare.

Moon giggles. His hand reaches for you, claws playing the air by your feet like piano keys. "Come here?"

You should not be tempted. You should not.

"Is this how you snagged Sun? Waving your claws at him?" you ask in lieu of complying. You wave your knife at him.

"You wave back", Moon says. His scarlet attention on you is like a physical thing.

"Har, har", you say and stop. You're so desperate it's disgusting. Moon is unrepentant.

You lower the knife and take a chomp off your mediocre apple. He wanted to talk. You can talk. "So—I found out that apparently humans can eat the roots of common reed. I just couldn't find any legit-seeming guides on how to prepare them, though—"

(alright, gonna do it now)

WTPB!Helly Whitelake: So...uhh...*drops off Past!WTPB!Poli, Jin, and Rita. Poli and Rita's colors are muted versions of their "present day" palette, Poli does not have his headlights yet, and Jin wears a sweater and no hairband (at this time Jin is 6, Poli is 1, and Rita is 3...so don't ask how tf will Human!Poli be 24 at this timeline)

Helly Whitelake: Now good luck with taking care of a young kid, a scaredy cat, and someone too enthusiastic for petting tigers.

Past!Rita: Where?!

Helly Whitelake: Also, this guy.

*Drops off MD!Helly. He wears a white polo that seems more like a dress due to its size, a pin similar to Helly's logo on the left chest, and a topless cap. He also wears brown gloves and boots, worn down by time and frostbite. His "hair" is blonde and messy, although his right is covered by hair for some reason. His visor is green as well.*

Helly Whitelake: Goodluck! *Disappears into a portal*

They just stare in shock-

So uh-

Ooh a murder drones version of me :D

Who's taking who-

I'll take one of the younger ones!

Okay but who-

Hm..The younger version of Jin! It can't be that hard to deal with her, right?

I'm stealing that version of myself. Screw all of you.

Helly wtf-

No, leave them to Bread. Aka the one who actually knows like half the lore of md-

I hate it here :D

Okay back on track. So who's watching over younger rita and younger poli?

I guess I'll watch over younger rita-

So Roy is stuck with the younger version of Poli!

Since when was that decided-

Right now, since I doubt Poli would wanna look after himself and plus, I'm busy dealing with calls and I think poli might be busy as well?

Yep, sorry Roy.

You ain't sorry-

Anyways. At least we got that figured out!

I still hate it here-

(yay :D I'm sorry if I do/get something wrong, I just woke up lmao-)

beyonders ask

Whitelake: How forgiving are you?

Pythoness: If you could erase any memory you pleased, would you?

thank u for indulging me anon hehe <3

Whitelake: How forgiving are you?

i feel like this is not a very easy question to answer about yourself. like...i have no idea actually! in some ways maybe like, too forgiving, because i was raised evangelical christian and every time any of us kids did something that required apologizing, we were required to say "i forgive you" back and get over it. forgiveness is a bigggg thing in christian teaching and i may not BE christian but when you have that pounded into your psyche for like eighteen years. it leaves a mark. but also i Know i can hold a serious grudge and be super petty so idk, maybe i'm just forgiving all the wrong things. i am trying to choose forgiveness and kindness though. so at least there's that.

Pythoness: If you could erase any memory you pleased, would you?

probably. i'd have to think very hard about which memory it would be but i've seen some fucked up shit so i don't think i'd mind it. of course, memories affect other memories affect who we are so it might not end well but i'd love to forget one or two weird cringe things i've done, lol.

White lake

My week was awesome! Despite of the fact that this is my 7th time there I had a lot of fun. The weather was nice. It was raining only once but it didn’t stop us 😄 Some of us were playing different games in the big tent. Others were swimming in the lake because the water was warm.

This time there were more than 50 people. Usually we had 30-40 so this camp was quite challenging for us but everything went great! We had a good team and everyone was responsible for something. Also there were about 15-20 new people in the camp so we tried to do our best that they didn’t feel like strangers. It was a good feeling when many of campers wrote very kind words about the camp on the internet.

Following the sunset, you once again get alerted to pinecones hitting the window.

At least this time he didn't wake you.

You step outside and call: "What?"

The blue-silver mer lounges against the gangway with your apple juice bottle dangling from his fingers.

"What is this?" he rasps. You strain to make out what he says. "I give you gifts and you leave me trash...?"

"I'll take it back if you don't want it, thank you", you say and approach briskly down the stairs.

The mer clutches the bottle to his chest and hisses. "Mine." He pauses, then adds: "What is it?"

You stop at the bottom of the stairs with a smug little huff and cross your arms. "Yeah, I thought so."

"What. Is it", the mer repeats, more demanding.

You release a breath. "Apple juice from our own apples."

"Hm." He studies the cap for a moment, then twists it open and sniffs the contents. He pins you with his gaze and offers out the bottle. "You try first."

You roll your eyes. "Fine." You approach, but remain outside of grabbing range. "Put it down there", you say, pointing to the stone step by the shore.

The mer also rolls his eyes, but reaches over to dry land to set the bottle down.

You flap your hand at him. "Shoo."

The mer huffs, but pushes himself into deeper water.

You grab the juice and carefully tip some juice into your mouth to avoid getting your germs on the bottle. "See? Totally safe."

You set the bottle back down and step back. "I didn't even consider poisoning you..." You contrive to tap your chin thoughtfully. "Probably should have... Rat poison should be effective."

The mer scoffs as he approaches and swipes back the bottle. He takes a sip and his eyes widen. He stares at the bottle.

"Good..."

"You're welcome!" you chirp.

After a moment of silence and a second sip, the mer grudgingly says: "Thank you."

"—Question. What were the reed roots for?"

The mer frowns, studying you for a moment. "Eating...?" he finally answers, as though it should be obvious.

You huff at his tone. "Humans don't usually eat those, I don't think."

He makes a small noise in acknowledgment, then, with a giggle, adds: "You know how to eat the crucians?"

"Eheh-eheh", you laugh sarcastically. "I'll look into the reed roots", you say, then tack on an introduction, by-the-way.

The mer fiddles with the bottle cap where it's attached to the bottle. "Moon."

Sun and Moon. "Are you and Sun siblings?" you ask.

"No", Moon says curtly, then continues, watching you. "We are together. You cannot have him."

Ah.

You crouch to get better to his eye level where you stand, still well outside of his reach. "I'm not trying to get him", you say emphatically, your brows knitting. "We're friends. I don't even understand why you'd—Well, assume that."

Moon scowls, baring his crescent of teeth. "Too friendly. Too—" He gestures vaguely at your everything. "—Luring."

What.

WTPB!Helly: Fetch this, me!

*throws a tablet to your Helly, which looks kinda odd and could be used for a more technologically-inclined work. The tablet the Whitelake boi have is similar to what he threw at you, besides the logos on the back being different, lack of greenish tint on the screen, and it's thicker*

WTPB!Helly: *vanishes*

Da hell- OH IM SUPPOSED TO CATCH IT-

It took a moment for him to process the fact he was supposed to to catch it, so it ended up hitting him in the head-

Ow- Still sorta caught it?..maybe not. But what exactly....is this?

( Also sorry, was working on another blog!-)

A #michigan treat. Boris’s Deli is awesome. Mom and pop to the fullest. I got the #cornedbeef and #pastrami on rye with Swiss cheese. Along with a soup called mish mash, which is a mix of all the #soup offered on the menu, matzoh ball, chicken noodle, dumpling, etc… so good. #foodporn #foodlife #foodie #eatanddestroy #whitelake #wanderer #wanderlust (at Boris’s Deli - Traditional Jewish Deli) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQjg_uoshtV/?utm_medium=tumblr
