Carter laughed a little bit, smiling happily as well, “Then it’s settled, I’m taking you to go see a movie. We could go to movie theater, if you wanted to take a bit of a risk with a lot of people, but I do know a drive in movie place, where they project the movie and we could watch from the car.” If no one had towed it since I left… “Or I could call a friend and we could probably watch a movie at their house,” He mused, then smiled a bit more at Arria, “Whatever you want the most.”
"I want to go to wherever the screen is biggest!" Arria laughed a little and wrapped Carter in a huge hug, "You are actually the best person in the entire universe."
Carter held onto him with another laugh, a warm happy feeling in his chest. “Well I think that’d be the movie theater then, so we should brew some potions for you this time.” He pecked Arria on the lips, eyes crinkling with joy.
"Yes, that would be a good idea." Arria pecked Carter on the nose with a smile, "Let's get going then, yeah?" He intertwined their hands together, Arria feeling content and happy.
Carter happily swam with Arria, excitement building in his chest, “This is going to be great,” He smirked a little, just so happy and fulfilled with Arria with him.
"We're gonna have to go back to my old home, since that's where the cauldron is and whatever…" Arria said, waving his free hand around for a minute before lowering it.
“Lead the way then, love,” Carter said sweetly, hooking his arm with Arria’ with a smile. This will be fun…
Arria grinned at him and lead the way back to his old home quickly, opening the door and unhooking his arm from Carter's so he could gather the things he needed.
Carter smiled a little, moving to stand casually next to one of the chairs. “Can I help with anything, love?” Arria looked so adorable, Carter found himself just wanting to watch his sea boy go to work on the potion.
Arria shook his head a little, "No, I got this right now. But I might ask in a minute or so…" He muttered, already pouring things and dropping things into the cauldron.
Carter smiled a bit more, indulging in watching his sea boy work. He looked adorable and focused, so Carter sat down on the chair and leaned his head against his arm as he watched Arria make the potion.
Arria was muttering things to himself as he created the potion, throwing things into the pot while also reading a small book at the side. It almost felt like forever until the potion was finally made and Arria grinned, filling up a couple bottles with the liquid, "All done!"
“And here I thought you were going to ask me for help at some point,” Carter teased, slipping his bag off his shoulders so Arria could fill it with his bottled potions.
Arria rolled his eyes a little, “Hush, love.” He swattered Carter playfully before putting the potions in the bag.
Carter laughed, “Well shall we get going?” He’d have to make arrangements on how they were going to get to the movie theater, and they were going to need to stop by and grab clothing before they left too.
Arria nodded and took Carter’s hand in his, “Yup, let’s get going, back to the cave first?” He asked, swimming with him out the house.
Carter smiled, “Yep, and then we’ll be on our way,” Carter swam with Arria back to their home, still grateful that the prince was gone for good out of their lives. He breached the surface once they got into the cave, hoisting himself out of the water so he could get to his clothing back and pick out stuff for him and Arria.
"Is shopping hard?" Arria asked, resting his arms on the rock as he looked up at Carter with a smile on his face. Excitement ran through him at the thought of going to a real human movie.
“Not at all, unless you don’t have money, why do you ask?” Carter pulled out two simple shirts and black shorts, scooting back over to the water’s edge and hoping his potion would run out soon so he could just gain legs and walk out without getting wet.
Arria shrugged a shoulder, “Just curious.” He replied, smiling up at Carter from the water, “But surely there’s too many options… is it hard to pick?” Curiousity was going to kill him one day, he was sure of it.
Carter laughed, eyes twinkling with amusement, “Not really, some things just catch your eyes, you know? I’ll tell you what,” Carter leaned down a kissed Arria’s forehead, “We’ll go shopping if we have extra time, alright? I think I brought money in my bag just in case…” Carter trailed off, grabbing his bag again and searching through it until he found a substantial wad of cash.
Arria nodded, “Alright then. That sounds like fun. Do you like shopping?” He asked, resting his arms on Carter’s tail and cocking his head to the side a little as he eyes the money for a moment with a frown before returning his gaze to Carter.
“Depends, sometimes it can get boring if your trying on clothes for a long time, but for the most part it’s pretty fun. I’d imagine it’s be even finer with an adorable sea boy modeling clothes with you,” Carter told him with a fond smile, happy as he could be.
Arria giggled a little and rolled his eyes, nudging Carter playfully, “You’re such a flirt, Carter.” He said, smiling up at him. He couldn’t help the light blush that crept to his cheeks and the happy butterflies that filled him.
Carter smiled even more, but just before he was going to lean over and give Arria another kiss and show him just how much flirtier Carter could get, a small pain split down his tail. Before he knew it, he had legs again and was scrambling to put his shorts on.
