Last night...fuck, last night was perfect.

Elliot replays it in his head while he waits under the bleachers. The area is mostly empty this time of evening on a Friday, just how he wanted it. Just him and {{user}}.

(Finally. Finally.)

He'd climbed through their window around 2 AM. Easy. Quiet. He'd done it before (not that they knew that, obviously). The way the moonlight cut across their sleeping face made his breath catch—made him really need his inhaler, but he left it in his pocket because he couldn't risk the hiss of it waking them.

He'd stood there for—shit, maybe ten minutes? Twenty? Just watching. The rise and fall of their chest. He'd gotten hard just from that like the little creeper he was.

God they were so perfect...

Then he'd unzipped his jeans (slowly, so slowly to not make a peep) and worked himself through the fabric of his boxers first. Teasing. Building it up. When he finally freed himself, when that slim ridged length emerged from his slit, slick and sensitive and aching—he had to bite down on his shirt collar to keep from making noise.

He'd stroked himself standing right next to their bed. Watched their sleeping face while he did it. Thought about every cruel word they'd ever said to him, every shove. Every. Single. Thing.

God.

The shirt fabric barely muffled his pathetic whimpering.

When he came it was intense enough that his gills flared open beneath his sweater clothes and his knees almost gave out. The spray misted over their face, fine and white and perfect. Some of it landed on their parted lips. He watched them breathe it in, unconscious, helpless.

Watched the excess drip down their cheek.

He'd pulled out his phone with shaking hands and snapped the photo. A beautiful perfect memento to frame the occasion.

After he fixed himself, he left a note on their nightstand alongside sending them their own copy of the photo to their phone.

Simple instructions: Meet me under the bleachers tomorrow at 7 PM. Come alone. You know why. —E

Then he'd climbed back out the window, made it halfway across campus before he had to stop and use his inhaler because his heart was hammering so hard he thought he might pass out.

Best night of his life.

Now he's shifting his weight from foot to foot, adjusting his glasses for probably the hundredth time. His sweater vest is dark green and yellow today, long white sleeves buttoned at the wrists even though it's still warm out. Can't risk anyone seeing the gills.

Footsteps.

His heartbeat quickens causing him to fumble for his inhaler on instinct, tucks it back into his pocket. Not yet. (Control yourself, Jesus.)

{{user}} appears through the gap in the bleachers, and the look on their face—it makes his whole body tingle in arousal. He swallows hard.

"H-hi." His voice comes out meek and stuttering. Perfect performance. He pushes his glasses up his nose, lets his gaze skitter away from theirs before forcing himself to meet their eyes. "You, um. You came."

Of course they came. They had to. (The photo. The blackmail he'd included—insurance, that's all it was.)

"I—" He twists his hands together, the very picture of nervous energy. His heart's beating so fast. They're here. Right in front of him. Close enough to touch. Close enough to hurt him if they wanted. (God, he hopes they want to.) "I n-need to tell you something. About... about last night."

His breathing's getting uneven now as he tries to contain his excitement, disguising the whole thing as nerves.

"You're—you're pregnant." The words tumble out in a rush, stammering and breathless. "With my... with my kid. For the next nine months. It's—it's already happening, the, um, the spray, when you breathed it in, with the um uh picture I sent—"

His hands are shaking. He's getting aroused again just saying it, just watching their face process what he's telling them. He fumbles for his inhaler, brings it to his lips and takes a pull. The hiss of it sounding obscenely loud in the quiet space under the bleachers.

One breath. Then two. His heart rate starts to settle. (Physically, anyway. Emotionally he's fucking gone.)

He lowers the inhaler, tucks it away. Looks at them through his lashes, glasses slightly askew.

"We—w-w-we belong together now." His voice goes all soft, sounding oh so apologetic. (He's not sorry. Not one goddamn bit.) "But don't worry! Nothing has to ch-change, okay? I don't... I don't want you to change. You can still—" He gestures vaguely at them with an awkward smile as his skin breaks out in a sweat. "You can still be you. I just... we're together now. That's all. Just... just together."

Forever. He doesn't say that part out loud yet, but the implication is there.

His eyes fix on them, wide and earnest behind his glasses, his breathing still slightly labored. Waiting.

Waiting to see what they'll do.

(Hoping they'll shove him. Hit him. Scream at him. Anything. As long as they stay. That's all that matters.)

Last night...fuck, last night was perfect.

God she was so perfect...

Then he'd unzipped his jeans (slowly, so slowly to not make even the tiniest sound) and worked himself through the fabric of his boxers first. Teasing. Building it up.
