[His clawed fingers worked their way around to the back of Steve's neck as he lipped and kissed and sucked on the flesh, oh so aware how he could tear out the other boy's throat with ease. He had never wanted to, and the fact that Steve didn't pull away or stiffen up meant that this human friend of his trusted him implicitly. That was not something that he could give up to anyone or have in return.
Just Steve. This boy who was so small and ineffective in a fight but fought anyway. This boy who had befriended him in the same way that he had befriended Steve. Two odd peas in a pod.
His arms curled around Steve with the utmost care as he picked the other boy up and walked them to the edge of the cement to the water's edge.] I will show you the sea, and you will come to love it as I do. And we can share the sea as we share this air-based land.
[He tipped them into the water without a single hesitation, his hands holding Steve close. He splashed into the water with his prize, abandoning orange and clothing and death to the cement, and his scales and tail emerged quickly, allowing him great mobility. He took them to the surface first, grinning childishly at Steve.]
