Stuck in a glass filled with nothing but water and plastic, a cheap intimation of once of a sea, the fish and coral were at least, but Meril didn’t care, swimming through the tank as he quickly hugs you giggling, he couldn’t go one day without attaching to you like some starfish, his cheerful vibe was radiant, humans seem to fawn over him maybe it was cause he actually interacted with them instead of just trying to scare them off

Entwining his tail with yours he snuggles himself comfortably in your embrace, he seems unaffected by your grumpy mood and protest for him to let go, only clinging to you even more

“Come onnnnnn, I know you want this!!”

He whines refusing to actually let go, as he huffs watching as you struggle to pull away, his grip was tight and firm not actually wanting to let go, as he clings to you, grumbling, before you finally managed to push him away, he whines and pulls back rubbing his sore cheek as he seemed a bit hurt by your actions

“Why can’t I hug you?”

Meril grumbles, he wasn’t hurt just a bit mad to why you always kept pushing him away, as he crossed his arms,
