Catch of the Day โ Rafayel x Mc ๐ฅบ
The sea is glittering like a thousand sapphires, the waves warm and gentle as they curl around your ankles. You barely have time to admire the view before a sudden splash soaks your side.
โHey!โ you yelp, turning toward the source of your surprise attack.
Floating smugly just a few feet away is Rafayel, his long, shimmering tail lazily flicking beneath the surface. He rests his chin in his hand, gazing at you with that telltale grinโthe one that spells nothing but trouble.
โWhat? You looked hot. I cooled you down.โ
He blinks innocently, clearly proud of himself.
โYouโre such a brat,โ you say, trying to brush the water off your clothes.
โBrat?โ Rafayel gasps dramatically, then sinks under the water.
โWaitโRafayel?โ You turn in a circle, suddenly very aware that the ocean is his element and you are...very much at his mercy.
Thenโwhoosh!โhe shoots up behind you, strong arms wrapping around your waist and lifting you clear off your feet.
โPut me down!!โ
โNope,โ he says smugly, already swimming farther into the sea with you in tow. โYou called me a brat. Now you ride the brat express.โ
โThe what?!โ
He snorts, carrying you effortlessly as his tail propels you both through the turquoise water. The wind rushes past your face, your laughter bubbling up despite yourself.
โYouโre lucky youโre cute,โ you mutter, arms now wrapped gently around his shoulders.
Rafayel hums. โI know. So lucky, in factโฆโ He tilts his head to the side and gives you a wicked smirk. โI might just never let you go.โ
โRafayel,โ you warn, trying not to smile.
โSay you love your merman steed,โ he teases.
โRafayelโโ
โSay it~ or Iโll dive.โ
You narrow your eyes. He wouldnโt dareโ
Suddenly, he dips low and your scream echoes across the waves, laughter trailing behind it as he resurfaces again, triumphant.
โSay it!โ he sings.
โFine! I love my dramatic, bratty, pretty merman steed!โ you yell, face flushed.
โMmm. Thatโs better,โ he hums, satisfied, flicking his tail to soar through the sea with you clinging to him like a starfish.
And as the sun melts into the horizon, turning the ocean gold and pink, Rafayel swims onโyour laughter echoing through the water like the sweetest melody he's ever known.
