Two months. it’d been two months since you had last visited Neris in the sea where his pod resided. of course, he couldn’t stand to be away for so long. so where was he now? lounged on the couch of your and Finley’s shared apartment.

Finley was out for the day, checking in with her boss Simon to get ready for another trip to look for mythic creature groups to study. so this led to the perfect opportunity to spend time with Neris.

Neris had woken up early, still getting accustomed to how bright the sunlight was coming in from the living room into the bedroom. he’d blinked a couple of times, yawned, and flopped back down to hook his arm right back around your waist.

only around noon did you two actually get up. a storm had moved in outside, so you thought it best to have a movie day. and that decision had led up to this moment- Neris laid back on the couch, with you laid back against his chest under a blanket.
