Summary
Eddie hated shopping on a Friday afternoon. He was expecting the noise, the people, the little voice in the back of his mind telling him just to go home and save it for another day.
He was /not/ expecting the little girl. Or the man with the pretty hair.

Summary
The merman doesn't make a sound, but as Eddie cuts away more and more of the net, he seems to relax a tiny bit. Those sharp eyes never leave Eddie's though.
"My name's Eddie. Do you have a name?"
No reply.
"Your scales are…really pretty," Eddie continues. "I bet they shine in the sun."
At that, a small noise escapes the merman, a quiet trill.
"Oh? You like compliments, huh?" Eddie smiles. "So you can understand me."
"Some," the merman croaks. Weakly, he holds up a hand, brings his thumb and forefinger less than an inch apart, indicating small.
*****
To most people, merfolk are dangerous beasts, evil, hunted down and their scales sold for high prices. To Eddie, they're kind and fascinating creatures from his uncle's old stories, and something he's longed to see for years.
When Captain Creel drags a captured merman on board Eddie's ship, he gets his wish.
Steve is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, and Eddie's going to free him or die trying.

Summary
Buck was standing where Eddie had left him. The other man was already talking, something low and instructive, and Buck was listening with an expression that was pleasant and gave nothing away. A whole face full of nothing.
But before the door swung shut, Buck glanced over.
One look. The kind you gave when you weren't supposed to and gave anyway. Eddie held it for exactly as long as he could, which was not long at all.
The door closed. The carpet changed back.
"Buck was nice," Chris said.
"He was," Eddie said.
They walked back toward the Third Class sections without further discussion.

Summary
Buck thinks to when Eddie took him and Christopher to the beach, how Eddie pulled him feet down underwater and pressed a kiss to his lips before he could let out a watery sound of confusion. It was a sweet moment, one he thought of fondly, but it had hurt: the pressure of water wrapping around his skull, Eddie keeping him under. It lasted only a mere moment before the two bobbed back to the surface, Buck sucking in a deep air and hitting his husband with a demand of never do that again!
Whatever has been done to him feels like a prolonged version of that: a deep, tension strain that wraps around the entirety of his skull and makes his head throb, aching for his mouth to open so he can suck a deep breath of air into his lungs. Only now, whatever or whoever is keeping him down does not want him to raise back up.
The one where Buck is kidnapped and injected with heat inducers.
