(Alright. Dude, don't worry about it. Been there, done that :) )

Luke walked back to that spot on the beach where he had met Aegis on that stormy day, still half-convinced that it had all been a dream. But…he wanted to go back and see. He had driven to the beach, then walked to the spot, standing ankle-deep in the water.

Aegir smiled when he spotted Luke, calling out to him, his arms waving around in the air as he attempted to get the humans attention.

"L-luke! Over here!" He yelled, diving under the waves and quickly making his way to him. Once he reached Luke, he lifted himself up from under the water, shaking his soaked head of black hair back and forth like a wet dog, attempting to get it out of his face.

Luke smiled when he saw Aegir, and waved back. When Aegir came over, he sat down in the water to be closer. "Hey. I…I thought maybe it was a dream or something." He admitted with a breathless smile.

"Dreaming? Why would you be dreaming?" He giggled, a confused look on his face as he scooted closer to the human. "It's nice to see you again."

"I don't know…Merpeople aren't supposed to be real." He replied with a shrug. He smiled at Aegir, scooting closer to the merman.

"We aren't supposed to be real?" He asked, confusion crossing his face. "That's just silly."

He laughs again, gently pushing Luke's shoulder.

"You humans just don't know we exist because…we aren't allowed to reveal ourselves!" He revealed, his face turning red as he continued on, "Of course..I took one look at you on that boat yesterday and knew I couldn't let you drown."

Luke smiled a little. He blinked in surprise at the next comment. "Ah. Well…thank you. For saving my life." he said with a wider smile, looking at Aegir.

"It's no problem! I'm sure anybody would've done the same!" He said, admiring the male sat next to him. "So, tell me more about you! What's your life like?" A wide smile slipped onto the merman's face, excited to learn more about Luke.

Luke cocked his head. "Well, my dad is the one who taught me to sail. Mom's out of the picture, she left when I was 7. Uhm…I enjoy sailing, of any sort." he squinted at Aegir. "If I tell you that I like fishing, are you going to be shocked and horrified, since you're…you know. Half fish?"

"Oh gods no, how do you think us merpeople survive?" He laughed leaning towards Luke a bit, "We aren't actually fish at all! We are closer to whales and dolphins than we are to fish…" He shrugged, playing with the squishy sand beneath him.

"Ohh, alright." Luke grinned at him, and bumped Aegir's shoulder with his. "Well. I like fishing, then." he chuckled softly, smiling at the merman beside him.

"Interesting.." He mumbled, dropping the sand from his hand, washing his hands off in the water. "Well, both my mothers are fierce guards for the royal family down in our kingdom…" He whispered rubbing his hands over his arms, attempting to warm himself up.

"Although I feel as if they are a bit disappointed with the fact that I won't be following in their footsteps…" Aegir sighed, staring down at his tail, "I've always had a passion for healing others though, and caring for the children." He finished, a small smile on his face as he thought of all the kids he would play with after finishing his work for the day.

Luke nodded a little. "That's cool." he replied with a smile, looking at Aegir. "And hey, even if you aren't like…mega warrior dude, you still saved my life. Which, granted, they…probably wouldn't appreciate, but I do."

"As I said before, anyone would've done the same if they had been in my place." The boy stopped, turning to Luke as his eyebrows furrowed. "What were you doing out there by yourself anyway? That's not very safe…"

"Well, the forecast didn't say anything about a freak storm, so…I was just out to take the boat for a spin, and…the storm blew up. I've gone out alone before and been perfectly safe; I figured it would be the same way this time." he shrugged.

"Well, don't do it ever again or I'll-" He paused, struggling to come up with a good threat. "Just don't do it again!" He finished, crossing his arms over his chest and sticking his nose up in the air.

"Or you'll what?" Luke asked teasingly, leaning closer to Aegir and pushing a strand of hair out of his face, squinting a little. "What'll you do to me?" he asked.

Aegir blushed when he realized how close they had gotten to each other. A pout still on his face as he attempted to intimidate the larger male.

"Or I'll…I'll let you drown!" He whined, sticking his tongue out.

Luke stuck his own tongue out in return. "Ah, I see." He replied with a smirk, looking at Aegir. "But what if I'm not in the water?"
