The sound of the ocean, the wave rushing it was... comforting the wave the blue of the ocean when it came up to the shore a damp greyish sand color the sand felt both mushy but intact the smell of the ocean not easy to place smell but one of nostalgic whether you've lived on the beach or not it just had such a comforting smell.. Martyn used to like the ocean - Not that he still didn't! it just left a bittersweet feeling in his mouth... especially since last time he was by anything with that blue color of the ocean and probably the prettiest eyes he could've ever seen and that's saying something Martyn's seen a ton of pretty eyes like Ren's Cleo's... the list could go on! but... Scott's were just such a vibrant, beautiful color... how could someone not have their breath taken from them? ugh, he was being stupidly sweet stupid sappy thoughts over a stupid siren..
Martyn's ears perked up as he heard footsteps gentle quiet... yet still hearable coming to ruin his peaceful and quiet silence... how delightful he knew those footsteps he knew them well very well... after all, he spent a whole season with the guy he knows those footsteps... more than he should, to be honest, but that doesn't matter! It's not his fault. Scott's so easy to admire. Why would Scott of all people want to talk to him? Martyn killed him! yet here Scott was walking up to him and sitting next to him by the stupid oceans shore
"You know it's really offensive to be ignored and by my own mean gill... how cruelllll " Scott basically sang his tail swaying as his light blue eyes like both sapphires and ice itself looking into Martyn's dark ocean eyes like lightning hitting the ocean itself... Scott, for one, found it endearing. If anything else, Scotts' gills moved as he looked at Martyn
Martyn wanted to shout at him about how much of an idiot he is... but he knew it wasn't just the fact Scott's basically an idiot... it was the fact that after everything, Scott could still look at him like that . He was important. Those star pupils, those blue eyes they felt so welcoming that Martyn never even hurt him
yet he did
Yet he did.
Martyn decided... may as well humor him... he'll get tired of my humor eventually anyway
"Not my fault might I remind you you walk like you're trying to hunt someone down like a cat pouncing on its prey" Martyn lifted is hand and rolled it as he had spoken and when he finished, he was greeted with one of his favorite sounds Scott's laughed... it never lasted for long since well. Scott was always so keen on muffling it with his hand if Martyn had the right? oh, he'd be moving Scott's hand without a second thought just to keep that noise going
"I wouldn't mind pouncing on you after all if I'm the cat. I guess that makes you the mouse it is a cat's favorite meal after all," Scott's practically purred
Martyn raised an eyebrow "Wow finding me when I'm alone just so you can eat me how devious Smajor"
"Well, someone has to keep you company, Littlewood. I can't let my dear foxyboo be lonely, plus you seem plenty eatable to me,"
Martyn groaned in dramatic annoyance at the insufferable nickname. "You're never going to stop calling me that. Are you starlight?" he tried not to sound fond truly, but how could he not? Somehow, when he was with Scott, he just felt... ok sure a ton of things suck and Scott shouldn't be talking to him especially considering oh I don't know Martyn betrayed him yet Scott seem perfectly content with him like he's put it all under the rug... it was.. frustrating... yet Martyn couldn't help the small feeling of happiness at it. Maybe Scott could forgive him... maybe
Scotts always loved their back and fourths with flirting and just... dramatics now, if only it wasn't just for fun... to be honest? Scott would love Martyn's lips on his yet Scott for one wouldn't push plus he'd rather have Martyn like this with him forever then lose him and what they have for eternity "If you get to call me starlight, I get to call you foxyboo " Scott flicked Martyn's ear lightly
Martyn's ear flicked at the touch, yet he loved it he for one wasn't used to touch but he liked it he just didn't know how to show it Martyn poked Scott's tailfin back before he let his dramatics out "Yeah but at least mine has charm... charisma historyyyy " he paused for the amazing dramatics before continuing with "yours is just... calling me foxy and boo and as foxy as I am I-"
Scott cut him off. Why? because he did something stupid. He did something really stupid he leaned in closer to being closer to Martyn... he fears he is hopelessly in love with this man, oh Aeor, he loves this man... "If you say another word, I fear I'm going to end up kissing you." his tail swayed he was getting restless, and this game of back and forth? oh, it was not helping at all with it. If anything, it was just making it worse after all! Martyn was dramatic he could flirt back sure Scott's type was blondes, but guess what? Martyn's blonde Martyn is exactly blonde, and Scott loved his energy so so much and Martyn? oh, how he hasn't noticed, to be honest? Scotts likes him since limited life... sure, they weren't able to see each other during the sessions, but post session? they were able to be by each other capable of being each other's company plus it was nice really nice to just have someone to talk to that didn't push that didn't pry and just wanted him comfortable...
Martyn looked at Scott his eyes widened, and he gulped. Is it wrong he wanted to be kissed? probably... he most definitely didn't deserve it, but oh, how he wanted it his tail was moving. Some would call it wagging, but shush... he lightly tilted Scott's chin, not forcing it he was surprisingly gentle about it "Wow how bold you really think after everything? I wouldn't want to kiss you."
Scott didn't move away from it his gills and tail moved and swayed, swishing some, but he was trying to hold back the buzz and fluttering of his heart. "You... want me?" he asked, but what else was he meant to? Martyn was looking at him and saying a ton of thinks a ton of things Scott wasn't sure he was capable of processing correctly, and that's saying a lot, considering he's normally quick with it, but... he was just... I'm not really thinking or well... ever really expecting... Martyn of all people to like him considering that Martyn's always had stuff with Ren
Martyn laughed heartily yet just smiled at Scott. "I should be the one saying that to you... but yeah... guess blue an ok color with green or whatever, " he dismissed with a roll of his eyes, but it was fond... all of it was fond it was sweet and loving. Martyn does love Ren. How could he not? But ren also loves doc... and he and ren had a talk about it a long time ago. Open relationship works best for them
Scott gave Martyn a done look. "You're an idiot." it was said with nothing but fondness like Scott was saying a compliment and not an insult cause Scott for one? was incredibly endeared by this man by this amazing, amazing man
"And I think you owe this idiot a kiss now don't you starlight" he said obviously smug about it cause rules are rules and Scott said what he said now he has to do it, or else Scott would be lying to him... plus... Martyn just really wants that kiss, and Scott he wants both he wants the kiss and to get a boyfriend
Scott's eyes softened without much thought from him, a subconscious act really, and then he got an idea and put his finger to his jaw like he was thinking about it "Ill kiss you... if you ask me out, "
Martyn smirked. "But we're already outside... unless you Scott Smajor are asking a lowly peasant as I to take your hand and ask you to date me of all people you could where have your standards gone" he let go of Scotts chin and flopped over dramatically like it was some big shock did he get sand on his face yes yes he did.. but it was so worth it
Scott sighed, endeared fond and so very amused "oh I still have them, and my offer of kissing you will be expiring soon, and unless you want no kiss then -"
Martyn decided in that moment to be... reckless and maybe stupid but oh well he was going to risk it he was going to risk it cause he's in love he had interrupted Scott by pouncing on him and kissing him his left hand moved to hold onto one of Scott's cheeks as he kissed him Scott's lips were soft and cold and had a blueberry taste it was sweet the kiss was chaste but passionate and so very sweet
Scott's eyes widened at the unexpected kiss Martyn's rough and somewhat calloused hand on his cheek felt nice especially considering it was warmer than he was he took a second but kissed back Martyn's lips weren't easy to explain they were chapped and felt similar to sandpaper yet had the odd taste of cherry surprisingly enough Scott for some reason somehow liked it...
It was exactly what he wanted, sure. It wasn't what he dreamed about, it being like no big event, no people just... them
And you know what?
Scott knew that this was bound to last, maybe not forever, maybe not in every timeline... but in this one? yeah, he for one? can say this seems like the wonderful start of a beautiful relationship with a just as handsome fox by his side
It couldn't be more perfect.
When they pulled away, they looked at each other and were silent, both needing time to do well... process that... they just kissed
"... You actually kissed back..."
Scott raised an eyebrow at that. "Of course I did. Why wouldn't I?"
Martyn just gave a small scoff because it's obvious... to him, at least, "You know why I killed you, yet you kissed back."
Scott sighed to him that betrayal didn't matter he knew that if Martyn hadn't done it, Scott would've ended up letting Martyn win. "But did you really kill me? Might I remind you you got... all possessed, plus the kill was a good kill, and I would've rather it been from you than anyone else, so I forgive you. I thought that was obvious. "
Martyn blinked and you can say Martyn's weak or whatever he doesn't care he couldn't bring himself to care, and tears just started going down his face before he could even try to stop them "You shouldn't" Scott shouldn't Scott should hate him Scott shouldn't want anything to do with him especially after limited life Scott can't just act like nothing happened
"But I do" Scott put his webbed hands onto Martyn's cheeks and just gently wiped the tears from his eyes sure it still hurt some but he didn't take it to heart he couldn't be mad at Martyn for just trying and wanting to survive "So you should take it or leave it I'm sure there are many other men that would just love to kiss me"
Martyn huffed, but Scott wasn't wrong. Many other men would probably i want to yet... Martyn was the one who got to he was the one Scott picked out of all the options him and that? that made him feel special. "Well, too bad for them,"
"Oh? How come?" Scott had a feeling he already knew the answer, and he, for one, didn't mind it he didn't mind it at all. How could he? he's been waiting for it after all
Martyn's tail moved to be over his face sure he doesn't mind being vulnerable and stuff but in front of others and in public sure there alone but still he doesn't like the idea of it all that much "You know why"
"Oh, but do I?" he purred his tail, moving to wrap around Martyn's to intertwine them, but he made no move to change how Martyn had his tail he understood, and why would he ever push?
Martyn rolled his eyes fondly. "I'm trying to ask you out."
Scott gasped overdramatically and went limp, making his head be in Martyn's chest he may or may not have taken the second to just appreciate the muscle and just... strength "You? want to date me? shocking end of the world, it may as well be the apocalypse..." but he looked Martyn in the eyes or well as much as he could "but I suppose I could date a peasant like you" Scott tail wagged not much but still wagged he wanted to date Martyn truly
Martyn found amusement and Scott's dramatics made him feel better plus he never realized just how nice having someone against your chest felt but Martyn found amusement as he looked at Scott and he smiled when Scott accepted to date a 'peasant' like him "Good... and if I'm correct, you still owe me a kiss. "
Scott smirked. "Don't worry, I could give you all the kisses your heart desires," and to finish that, he kissed Martyn
Thought they both knew t hat it was just the start of many, many more kisses, and many more nights by the ocean's shore
Together.
