Scar's POV

This is certainly not what I expected to be doing today. I'm just glad Grian can't see my blushing face as I swim, trying to keep his head above water.

I seem to be noticing every tiny thing. His legs occasionally brushing against my tail, the feeling of his arms wrapped around my chest, how his face is buried in my hair...

I almost feel sad when I see the ship again. Stopping at the rocks where I first met him. Grian let's go of me, smiling a little.

"Um... thank you"

"It's no problem" I respond, and Grian's face falls a little.

"Scar? Am... am I ever gonna see you again?"

"I'm not sure. I mean, I live really close to here, but I'm not allowed to go anywhere near... well, humans I guess"

"But you saved me!"

"Yeaaahhh... I broke a LOT of rules back there. It'll be really hard to see you again, because I have a very overprotective friend who under no circumstances will let me near here."

"Why? We aren't going to hurt you!"

"Yeah, but he kinda has a grudge against humans that he doesn't really talk about, so he'll probably impale you with a trident if he sees you near me"

Grian doesn't really seem to like that idea.

"Well... do your friends sleep at night?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, maybe you could sneak up here at night!" He suggests, before his cheeks turn red "Only if you WANT to of course, I only just met you and-"

"That sounds like a great idea" I tell him, smiling.

Grian pauses, before hugging me. I hug him back, unconsciously wrapping my tail around his legs. When I notice, my entire face turns red, but he doesn't seem to mind. I don't really mind either, I kinda like the feeling of his soft skin against my scales.

He pulls away after a few seconds, smiling shyly.

"See you around?" He asks

"See you around" I confirm, before diving back under the sea. I can't help but smile brightly, wanting to scream.

He hugged me!

He actually hugged me!

I can't think of any ways this day can possibly get better...

"Where on earth were you?!"

Oh no.

I look up at Xisuma, who seems angry. He didn't see me with Grian... did he?! My cheeks turn a little red. I can't think of a lie on the spot, so I decide to bend the truth a little.

"I met someone" I mumble "And kinda lost track of time."

X's attitude changes when he hears that. He uncrosses his arms, tilting his head.

"Met someone?"

I nod my head, blushing

"Did you meet a nice girl?" He asks, a smirk slowly spreading across his face. I shake my head.

"Did you meet a nice BOY?" Xisuma asks, grinning like an idiot now

"Yes" I mumble, feeling my face turn even redder.

"What's his name?"

"Grian"

"Where's he from?"

"He didn't tell me"

"What colour is his tail?"

"Um... red"

"Do you like him?"

"Ye-"

I clap a hand to my mouth, Xisuma bursting into giggles.

"I knew it!" He teases

"Knew what?" Zedaph and Tango ask in unison from nearby.

"Scar has a crush!" X tells them, and I bury my face in my hands, cringing in embarrassment.

"Wait- what's happening?" BDubs yawns, having just woken up.

"Scar has a crush on someone!" Tango snickers

"Oh... he does?" BDubs mumbles, looking down at the ground. Weird, I expected him to tease me too. BDubs never passes an opportunity like that.

"I can't wait to meet him!" Xisuma exclaims, and I freeze.

That's gonna cause some issues.
