Cuddling with the Fishes (ft. Floyd & Jade Leech)
~Floyd Leech~
Good luck trying to pry yourself off of him. No, I’m serious, you’re probably gonna need some crazy strength for him to let you go at your demand because he is not doing that without a fight - especially if he’s in his eel form.
Be prepared to pack a swimsuit or a water breathing potion because cuddles with him are not only spontaneous, but are already long in his human form, so just to imagine the length of his cuddles in water (or underwater) is probably gonna be unpleasant if you’re not prepared.
Can and will wrap his tail around you when you cuddle. To him, not only is it one way he can be the closest to you, but it’s also assuring for him that you’ll allow him to do this in his most comfortable form.
But seriously though, good luck trying to get him to let you go because once the cuddling starts - it might take as long as an hour before he lets you go unless he gets bored of it.
“Aw, already Koebi-chan? But I don’t want to let you go yet!~ Can we stay for ten more minutes? Pleeeaaase?”
He will purposefully extend those ten minutes to an hour if he wants to.
Floyd will eventually release you if you continue to insist, but this will make him moody for the rest of the day. Don’t worry, though! He’ll eventually come back for more cuddles, eel form or not!

Like Floyd, Jade’s eel form is his most comfortable form, so he appreciates it when you want to cuddle with him in such a state.
It actually surprises him the first time you ask him to cuddle in his eel form. He’s not expecting it since he figured you’d appreciate it if both of you had legs while cuddling. Still, he’s certainly not going to deny that it’s endearing of you to ask that of him.
“Oh, is that what you want? Well, what kind of gentleman would I be to deny my love’s request?”
When you cuddle in his eel form, he makes your comfort his top priority - he understands that humans aren’t made to survive for long periods in large masses of water, so he wants to make sure that you’re not in any discomfort while both of you are cuddling in large bodies of water to accommodate with his tall form.
Forgot a water breathing potion? Don’t worry, he brought one with him in case you forgot. Don’t have a bathing suit or a spare change of clothes on you? He will offer you his jacket to cover yourself while he finds the nearest towel to dry yourself with.
He also desires to wrap his tail around you when you cuddle, but will refrain if you either look uncomfortable or if you tell him you prefer that he doesn’t do it. As stated before, your comfort is his priority, and he will nonetheless appreciate you trying to cuddle with him anyways.
