A/N: Mermaid AU requested by XxxcrescentsansxxX and it's short because motivation go brrr
Gradient hummed softly, threading strands of seaweed together to make... something. He wasn't completely sure yet. He'd figure it out as he went.
Nearby, Crescent was laying on his side, tail curled up to cushion his head in a way that should be impossible. He had always been weirdly flexible for a mer. Sometimes, Gradient felt like he was actually supposed to be an octopus or something.
"What are you doing?" Gradient asked. The other glanced over at him.
"Drawing, I guess," he replied. "I don't know, I wasn't really thinking about it. What are you doing?"
"Weaving," he said. "Want me to show you?"

So he did, suddenly very self-conscious of all the little mistakes he'd made prior in the... the thing.
"What's wrong?" Crescent asked.
"Nothing!" he exclaimed.

"Don't thank me until I'm done."

Gradient sighed fondly, giving his boyfriend a soft smile. Crescent returned it easily, before deciding that Gradient was a much comfier place to sleep than the seabed and trapped him in place as he napped.
"I should've seen this coming," he muttered.
