If there was one thing Sylvia was always curious about, it was Boss Finn’s tail. She stared at the blue appendage from her desk, watching it sway gently as he moved around, inspecting the new items she’d stocked on her shelf.

“I gotta hand it to ya, Minnow, I’m impressed.” His voice snapped Sylvia out of her trance, and she shrugged with a smile.

“It’s no biggie—just thought the place could use a few things to spice it up every now and then.”

Boss Finn chuckled, his tail swaying a bit faster before resuming its leisurely pace, his usual proud demeanor on full display. “Can’t go wrong with a bit of spice to kick things up a notch in the market.”

He went back to browsing the shop, his attention now captured by a new shiny potion that made his tail quirk to the side, practically on full display. Sylvia was mesmerized and walked over, she had an involuntary urge to…

“WOAHOHO!!” Boss Finn nearly jumped out of his skin, his head whipped around, only to find Sylvia gently patting his tail with small, delicate hands. Normally, he’d be annoyed—or even pissed—at anyone touching his tail without permission. But with her? How could he be?

He noticed her curious doe eyes as her warm hands squeezed his tail lightly and patted it. All he could do was chuckle and look at her endearingly. If he’d been mad before, it had all melted away.

“Curious, little morsel?” His words snapped Sylvia out of her drifting thoughts. Realizing what she’d done, she backed away as if she’d touched poison, panic flashing across her face.

“Oh my god, I’m so—”

Before she could finish, Boss Finn’s tail patted her head, and he pulled her into a hug, nuzzling her cheek with a chuckle, still holding her gently.

“Calm down; you look like a scared codfish. But you know…” His toothy grin gleamed as he held her close, practically engulfing her with his height and broad frame. “If you wanted my attention, you could’ve just asked.”

Boss Finn paced in front of Sylvia’s shop, with flowers in his hand. He had bought them on a whim but now flushing red on his cheeks, he debated whether to go in or bail while his tail twitched anxiously.

“Okay… be cool, they’re just flowers. Get a grip.”

He paced for a minute before steeling his nerves and reached for the door handle only for it to swing open and he instinctively hid the flowers behind him and plastered a wide grin and stared directly at Sylvia who looked at him.

“Oh… hey Finn. How’s it going?”

He rubbed the back of his neck and avoided eye contact.

“Good, good, I was uhm… just coming to see you.”

Sylvia perked up and gave a smirk.

“Oh, you were?”

“yeah,” Boss Finn gulped “Yeah I just wanted to um… there was a shop nearby that just opened and uhm… well I didn’t know if you wanted them… I mean you don’t have to have them but…”

He fidgeted with his tie and his cheeks only got pinker as he cleared his throat and stealed himself. But when he made eye for a moment… he panicked and-

**WHAM!**

Sylvia got a fistful of flowers to the face.

“These are for you- OH GOD! I’M SO SORRY I DIDN’T MEAN TOO!”

He profusely apologized and panicked seeing if she was okay while she checked her nose and smiled and tried reassuring him it’s okay.

Sylvia -now with a little bandaid on her nose- smiled as she placed the flowers in a vase next to the front of the shop, it gave a little color to the front of the shop while Boss Finn was red in the face, drooping in embarrassment and covering his head while sitting in her chair, his tail tucked around him.

“I’m so stupid.”

She chuckled and came over to him.

“No you’re not, I think the flowers were sweet”

Boss Finn sighed

“You kidding, I flailed around like an octopus and slammed into your nose.”

Sylvia winced a little as she checked her nose but gave a reassuring smile when she stood next to him and gave him a pat on the back.

“Hey it’s okay, you just got nervous is all.”

Boss Finn sighed

“But the last thing I want is for you to get hurt because of me”

Sylvia frowned and brought his face to look at her.

“Hey, don’t think like that, it was an honest accident. I know you would never do that on purpose. Besides you think that’s gonna stop me from caring about you.”

Boss Finn shook his head with sad puppy eyes

“No.”

She smiled and stifled a laugh

“Damn right it won’t, besides I like a little bit of danger.”

She kissed his head which made him give a derpy smile

“Well… I guess you’re right.”

She gave a determined grin

“Damn right. Now, I just made some tea to help with the soreness, I can make another different cup of tea for you and we can have some together, how’s that?”

He grinned and sat up straighter and his tail swayed looser and was less constricted as he gave a softer smile

“Yeah, let’s do it… thanks Sylvia.”

Sylvia chuckled and kissed his cheek

“Anytime.”

I’m back… again… this is getting embarrassing-

Boss Finn sat on the beach, waiting for Sylvia to join him. They were planning to discuss a potion idea she had. As he sat there, his mind wandered. He thought about his life up to this point—a life he’d been reflecting on a lot since his advocacy work had taken off. He thought about the people he’d connected with, the job he now loved, and, of course, his relationship with Sylvia. She was amazing, and he couldn’t help but think about how much she had helped him get to where he was now. It made him pause and reflect.

How much would his life have been different if she hadn’t come along?

…

He probably would’ve still had friends and his reputation and would’ve probably been on top.

…

…

But…

He couldn’t fool himself into believing his old “friends” wouldn’t have left for some other reason. He couldn’t deny that he genuinely enjoyed the job he had now and had built a great reputation for himself. Not to mention, he faced fewer legal problems… and he had Sylvia.

… he would’ve never become an item with Sylvia. And that was something he would never give up in a lifetime.

…

Sylvia arrived, a notebook full of notes in hand.

Sylvia: I’m here! Sorry I’m late—

Boss Finn turned to face her, tears streaming down his face.

Before she could react, he practically tackled her, sobbing uncontrollably. Sylvia stood frozen for a moment, trying to process what was happening, before awkwardly patting his back.

Sylvia: Uuuhh… sorry for being late?

On an average night like any other, Sylvia invited Boss Finn for a sleepover for the first time. It was a lovely evening: Boss Finn had a wonderful meal made, they had a movie night and relaxed together.

Sylvia: I gotta say Boss Finn, who know you could be such a gentleman.

Finn: Hey I’m Boss Finn baby: I’m not gonna let my gal go hungry.~

Sylvia smiled.

Sylvia: Well you definitely didn’t disappoint.

While sitting down, Finn held her close and went through different channels, only to find a breaking news broadcast that said that a snow storm was headed to Rafta in two days.

Finn: Well darn, there goes my sauna trip.

Sylvia chuckled but then remembered something.

Sylvia: are you going to be okay in your cabin?

Finn had to think about it but quickly grinned.

Finn: You worried about me sweetheart?~

Sylvia: Of course I’m worried, I don’t want to come by after the snowstorm to find you a fish popsicle.

Although she didn’t really mean a fish popsicle, the worry in her tone was genuine and Finn smiled gently.

Finn: I promise you, I’ll be fine, I’ve been through worse

*THUMP THUMP THUMP*

Sylvia was in the middle of making tea during the snowstorm when she heard an urgent knock on the door.

Sylvia: who would be crazy enough to be out in a snowstorm?

She opened the door to find Boss Finn on the verge of freezing to death.

Sylvia: Finn what are you-

Finn: My tail is about to freeze of, please let me stay.

Sylvia: Of course but-

Boss Finn ran in with a bag, presumably with the essentials and some clothes. After running a warm bath he felt much better and Sylvia made hot chocolate.

Sylvia: What have we learned

Finn: That I’m not immune to the winter

Sylvia patted Finn’s head
