[ It's late, really late, but Choromatsu doesn't care, he's too happy. Dia and Takumi surprised him with a gift today, a necklace with a beautiful handblown glass pendant from the both of them. He had found all sorts of jewelry and glass underwater before, but it was all worn or scratched or broken, and definitely not as intricate. Something so pretty was given to him by the two people he loved and he couldn't be happier... so what if he'd lost track of time?
He's heading home, clutching the necklace in both hands, but he decides to stop at his secret grotto first. He loves this necklace and has to fight the urge to wear it everywhere, but because he loves it he knows he has to keep it someplace safe, like the rest of their gifts. Somewhere that no brother or father will hopefully ever find it... and that meant the grotto with the rest of his human things. So he slips in and looks through the shelves, the light from the moon still illuminating the inside through the hole at the top of the cave. ]
Hmm... where should I put it... next to the knife? No... the comb? Hmm, or maybe in a box...
[ But he finds himself unable to think and looking back down at it again... and then proceeds to lose his mind all over again, shouting at the top of his lungs ]
KYAAA! IT'S SO PRETTY! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW PRETTY IT IS! AND IT'S REALLY FROM THE SURFACE! THE SURFACE! AND THEY PICKED IT JUST FOR ME!!
Aaaahh, I can't take it anymore...!
[ he unfastens the shell necklace he always wears as hastily as he can, tossing it aside to the sand without a second thought and quickly puts on the glass one. ]
It's so.... it's so perfect! PERFECT!!
[ And before he knows it, he's laughing giddily to himself again, swimming and twirling around like a lovesick fool, transfixed with the way the pendant moves in the water with him, how the weight of it hits his chest...
He has no clue that the same hole that lights up his collection of human things is also letting his voice be heard from outside the grotto... ]
It's time for the squid to hit the fan :V
