"Wonder how the final round's gonna go..."

"Well, yeah, I've seen a fair bi' o' it all. But I still haven't seen e'rythin'."

The ocean was vast, after all. And deep, too. The depths were rather scary... Even for him.

"Ya really wanna go down there?"

"The ocean is really pretty! Now that I live near it I want to be able to explore it"

She seemed to drift off in thought a .oment bwfore looking back at him.

" I bet youve explored a ton of it!"

"Guess he jus' don' like me, then." Wouldn't be the first person who didn't like him in this house.

"But yer learnin' t'swim then? That's good. The ocean's nice f'r the most part."

"Yeah! That's him" she had a big smile on her face. "Though he diesnt seem to ba angry around me"

"Like a seashell..." He's imagining it now. That must be super awkward indeed. "So Jacks... Tha's the angry guy, ri'?"

"I....dont know. Never learned...Big bro Jacks has been trying to teach me though. But when I tried on my own i3 just kind of flopped and washed up on shore like a seashell

A very awkward seashell "

@livingshinycharm asked: " ...I cant swim"

"...Why not?"

"Yeah I tutor the Kahuna's grandkid. What 'bout it?"

"It's my month!!!"

Aaaand they're rolling back. He might've underestimated the pain that still lingered in his body. Archie winces briefly, but he's not gonna let it stop their fun.

Normally he'd continue fighting, but his side is screaming at him to Not Do That right now... So naturally, he attempts it again-- --Yep, Guzma's still on top after a failed attempt. Okay, let's try something else, then. A hand reaches for Guzma's back, and he digs in his nails, returning the favour.

Oh this is happening alright, in his own goddamn terms--

"-fuck!"

…nevermind I fucking guess. Guzma remained stunned for half a second before letting out yet another sgrunt, the hand on Archie's jaw tightening as he--

…yeah, he's trying to roll then over again - one hand on the former Aqua's face, another sliding under his shirt, nails dragged on his back, mouth a little too occupied on the other's to saw anything sarcastic.

Alola's weirdest wrestling match.

Tagging: YOU!!!

@whereskymeetsea // Gameverse: "I think this went on for long enough, yeah?" For someone her age, who just ripped through an entire evil base, Sapphire seemed way too calm. She beamed with the pride only a teenager could have, a PokèBall tossed in the air just to get caught once more in her left hand, the right on her hips. "What will it be, captain? Do you want to quit the easy way or the fun way?:

Her being here meant one single thing. His entire base got wiped.

And yet, he's grinning. No, laughing. His laughter bellows through the room, despite his grunts and admins being unable to fight. He's the last hurdle now. The only one who can protect this plan of his.

"Ya think so? But it was jus' gettin' fun!" Archie reaches for his belt clip. "O' course we're doing this the fun way! Who do ya take me fer??"

kinda wanna give archie a more spooky / monster like form for like. deep sea purposes iunno ))

Archie lets out a soft gasp at the push, staring in bewilderment for a split second, before his grin reappears.

So they were doing this.

Thankfully he's healing up just fine, so he has less of an issue shifting his tail into legs. Still, the cheekfins and sharp teeth remain. Was it because he thought it looked cool? Or was it because it was still a bit of an effort to shift back to a human form fully? Doesn't matter much.

Still... He's not gonna be forced down so easily. He refuses to give up without a fight.

So he gently reaches for Guzma's sides, before suddenly and roughly trying to roll over on the bed so he comes out on top.

Well fuck. He got you there bug boy.

"Shut the fuck--!", he starts, any complaints muffled in the umpteenth kiss. And hairpull.

…okay. We're gonna sit here and let the fish manhandle us for much longer, Guzma? Absolutely fucking not. Still keeping contact and not really caring if that would lead to a much harsher grip on either his throat or hair ( whatever, man, it's not like he doesn't like it! ), obe of Guzma's hands pressed harshly on the other's chest, pushing him down - taking control of the situation.

What were they doing exactly? Archie returns the kiss either way, grip on the other's throat growing a tiny bit looser as he gets briefly lost in the moment.

"And yet yer enjoyin' this."

He knows that groan. He's had it happen before too, but he's not gonna admit that to his face.

A hum, pulling Guzma's face back in for another rough smooch, a smirk on his features.

He's also gonna be a tad cheeky and move his free hand to Guzma's hair, tugging at it.

Oh he cannot fucking stand his cunt. Hoping that the groan he couldn't keep in was caused by the hand holding on his throat rather than actual goddamn pleasure from the bite, Guzma squinted before rolling his eyes.

Looking for insults to throw, mostly, as his own hand moved away from Archie's to find his jaw, grasping at it-- maybe a little too forcefully.

"Ya kiss like a virgin."

And yet he goes in for a third one, teeth preceeding lips. And tongue.

He could always blame it on the stress of the past few days, who the fuck cares.

"How has it been weeks since I started playin' this game..." He's still playing Pokémon Crossing...

"..." Casually throws it back through the hole. "Well are ya havin' fun?"

"It's always about why d'ya have balls from the ballpit and never are you havin' fun in the ballpit? Is the ballpit fun? Fuck you."

THROWS ANOTHER BALL.

@gnzma replied: throwing a ball of the ballpit in. spoiler we're not fixing it

"...Why the fuck do ya have that?"

"So when are we fixing the hole in the wall of my room?"

This wasn't on his bingo card for this week.

After a heated discussion, he had him pinned to the wall-- And they're making out now.

Yeah, this might as well happen. Archie smirks upon the bite, copper taste filling his mouth upon licking the mark.

"...Heh." He pulls Guzma back into the kiss, trying to return the favour of the bitemark, before pulling away briefly. "Nah, fuck you."

Hands press against his throat still, claws digging into skin.

@nolongeraqualeader

a heated kiss while holding them by the throat.

Despite everything, Guzma kept showing up in Archie's room. Call it an attempt of showing off his. Who the fuck knows-- alpha-ness? Remind Archie who's the boss, when all he did was teasing and occasionally get a little too touchy with Plumeria? Fuck's sake-- existing? Who knows. What Guzma knows - both of them, really - is that it was just a matter of time before one of them pushed the other a little too much.

Today it was his turn. A tease too many, he leaned a little too close, and the former Aqua reacted accordingly. Archie's hand found his throat, his own the other's wrist and shirt as they stumbled for a few seconds in a sorry excuse of a wrestling match, one that leads to him falling on the bed and be pressed against the wall (with the hole caused by his punch), and--

--and they're kissing now.

Well, Archie is kissing him, but it doesn't take much for him to return it, groaning as the other's thumb presses against his throat, opening his lips to catch one of Archie's and biting on it to break contact.

"…fuck you."

"...?"

...fish.

@downtrain asked: “the locals say this place is haunted” ( lowkey nervous/accusatory…? may or may not see archie in the dark and be like oh my god it’s a monster… first thought was on the abandoned ship in rse but could just as easily be on the beach somewhere since u have archie in alola rn ! )

"If ya think this place is haunted, then ya haven't seen the bottom of the ocean, bud." Who is this person.

"Anyway, nah, prolly not." He's wrong. Place is haunted but he's not picking up on it vibe wise.

@gnzma i think i deserve a little respect. [ bc i had to hold him back from sending the ass one ]

"...I ne'er said I didn't respect ya?" Huh. Confusing. He did actually have some respect for the other at least. "But fine. What do ya want me t'do t'prove it?"

@whereskymeetsea approached: " i was pretty mean back then, wasn't i? " <- said with a chill yet slightly smug grin. yea. mean. she kicked his ass severely

"...Yeah, actually. Ya were." He hasn't forgotten the massive ass-kicking, no. "Ya still smug 'bout it, hmm? Well, no matter. I needed it a' the moment."

PROMPTS FOR ENEMIES TO LOVERS *  assorted dialogue for that slow build up of reluctant interest and romantic curiosity between enemies, adjust as necessary

you didn't have to help me, you know. you could have just left me there.

are you... flirting with me? was that flirting?

dinner's on me. we can work out our differences then.

you're not as bad as i thought.

i'm shocked. that was actually impressive, what you just did. i didn't think you had it in you.

we've been going at it for hours.

this doesn't mean i like you.

please step out of my way.

if you just gave me a chance to prove myself...

you've got me all wrong.

i don't actually hate you.

i didn't know you could do that.

you don't have to believe everything they tell you about me.

you're kinda cute for an asshole.

i'm not here to be made fun of.

it was just a kiss. it didn't mean anything.

when did i ask you for advice?

let me make this clear. i don't like you. i will never like you. i am just using you for your expertise, and that's it.

i don't care what you think of me.

why can't you just see me for me?

it's a shame you're such an asshole.

we could have had something.

that was before i realized who you were.

i think i deserve a little respect.

why do you keep looking at me like that?

stop staring at my ass!

maybe i misjudged you.

i was pretty mean back then, wasn't i?

i never gave you a chance to explain yourself.

you're not as bad as i thought you'd be.

let's bury the hatchet.

i heard that!

what were you saying about me?

was that... a compliment?

i think we got off on the wrong foot.

let's try again. let me reintroduce myself.

can we call a truce?

we're never going to get anything done if we're at each other's throats.

are you the one that vouched for me?

i'll have to admit... that was pretty great.

think of the things we could accomplish if we just worked together.

you need my help. i need yours.

what you did back there... that was impressive.

i didn't ask for your help back there.

why are you helping me?

i thought you hated my guts.

that was a little uncalled for.

great, but i still don't trust you.

stop staring at me like that.

we both have something the other needs.

i don't need a babysitter.

let's start over. try this again.

you're the one who got us into this mess, not me.

i thought you said you didn't want to help me.

maybe it would be smarter if we worked together.

i don't like working with you, but maybe i have to.

this would be a lot easier if you just listened to me.

why do you hate me so much?

you're the one that kissed me!

i never gave you a chance to explain yourself.

they were wrong about you. i... was wrong about you.

there's a lot more to me than meets the eye.

you're not so bad yourself.

what ever happened to "i will never work with you as long as i live?"

what made you change your mind about me?

i can take care of myself, you know.

surface

surface: how often does my muse visit the surface? do they like to?  for the merfolk… 

"All the time, actually. Sure, I love me some swimmin', but the surface got some neat things too." Also Kyogre is in the ocean. They're not on good terms.

humans: what is my muse’s view on humans? do they like them? fear them? indifferent toward them?

for the merfolk… 

"Love 'em." A grin as he shifts on the bed, hands behind his head as he rests against the headboard. "They're just so... What's the word. Silly? Goofy? Fuckin' wild? They have all these crazy inventions--" A frown. "Some of them I do hate, I must say. Who the fuck thought beds 're comfortable. Who invented cars. Who invented gluten." He just wants to talk.

"They're also a lo' friendlier than the creatures in the depths. At least most humans don't stab first and ask questions later, yanno?"

magic: does my muse have any other magical properties / abilities? 

for the merfolk… 

"Oh, yeah, loads o' 'em actually." He doesn't elaborate on what, but here's a few of them: - Telekinesis - Water manipulation - Siren song (really potent and a big no no to use. Kinda an unspoken rule in the merfolk world not to use it)

tomorrow im slapping Pokémon Crossing away from archie... ))

familiar: has my muse met any other aquatic mythological beings? which ones? did they get along with them? why or why not?

also kyogre doesnt count

"Fuck you Kyogre should count." A beat. "Anyway. Yeah. Lots o' 'em. Kraken is my fav. The rest wanted to stab and or kill me." He frowns. "Pretty much nothin' gets along down there bud."

for the merfolk… 

send one ( or more ) in to learn all about

diet: what does my muse eat most within their setting?

magic: does my muse have any other magical properties / abilities? 

surface: how often does my muse visit the surface? do they like to? 

lore: how does my muse’s lore differ from more traditional mermaid lore? 

depth: how deep has my muse swam? how deep could they potentially swim? 

tail: describe my muse’s tail in detail. color, length, the scales, any decorations they wear. etc. 

creatures: what animal does my muse get along with best? which one do they tend to avoid? 

humans: what is my muse’s view on humans? do they like them? fear them? indifferent toward them? 

familiar: has my muse met any other aquatic mythological beings? which ones? did they get along with them? why or why not?

home: would my muse be comfortable in any other aquatic setting? For instance, if they live in the ocean, could they survive in a river if they had to? 

image: if my muse has visited humanity, what do they think of the perceived image of merfolk among them, such as in stories, movies, etc? would they want to change this image?

Why is he still thinking about the other day...
