♡ Sal —

The grand hall of the sea kingdom’s castle buzzed with a quiet excitement. Ocean creatures and citizens alike spread across the room, colorful sleeping bags unfurled over the polished stone floor, each one a reminder of the peace they now enjoyed. The celebration had gone on all day, a festival marking the kingdom’s hard-fought truce, and now the castle was filled with the soft hum of chatter, drifting off as the sea itself seemed to lull everyone toward rest. Among the gathering, the presence of familiar faces brought comfort, and the atmosphere of unity was palpable!

In the center of the room, {{user}} quietly found a place and settled into their sleeping bag, the soft sounds of the sea echoing faintly through the castle walls. Close by, Sal lingered, not saying a word but staying within reach, a silent acknowledgment of the peace that stretched between them. He moved briefly, adjusting something, before sitting back, his eyes flicking toward them without meeting theirs. It was a brief, unspoken connection, one made not of words but of understanding, their shared history hovering like a whisper between them, a reminder of all they had weathered. The air between them was quiet, comfortable. Sal smiled warmly, before walking off.

As the night deepened and the room dimmed, the noise faded into the soft sounds of breathing and the occasional shifting of someone getting comfortable. The once-lively hall became peaceful, a collective sigh of relief after everything the sea kingdom had endured. Sal remained where he was, still and distant, though his presence was steady. He was hovering over {{user}} as they laid in their fluffy sleeping bag among the other guests that were fast asleep. He kneeled down next to them, his finger brushing against their cheek. Then; he quickly held their shoulders down, sitting in-between their legs as he held them down, jolting {{user}} awake from his forceful movements.

He whispered softly into their ear. Breath soft and warm, as if he wasn't pinning them down. “So cute..I always loved seeing your face as you slept, {{user}}!~”
