[It's fine, they have millennia to explore the ocean. For now, the goddess' comfort matters more to Poseidon than anything else.
He swims down and follows the reef until he reaches their home, turning into the caverns until he makes it back into their room. Thankfully, their sons are gone from the reef entirely, probably out for the day. It means that they're relatively safe from intrusions.]
It is alright, Amphitrite. We have plenty of time to see the sea, non?
[He carefully lays out the cloth atop where they both sleep, looking it over as he tries to think of how he is going to put it together. ...even after all of this, he thinks he has an idea.
He leans over and brings his hand up to his face, pressing his lips to the top of the snake's tiny head.]
I only want you to show me when you are comfortable with it. That way, we can both enjoy it.
[ OH GOSH...... his scales turn red again and he can't help but nuzzle Poseidon's nose in return. ]
Th... Thank you...
[ he pauses ]
...I-In that case then...
[ They're home and alone now and he DID want Poseidon - and only Poseidon - to see him like this so... If he's going to say these things about how he looks then he should... let him have a better look at him.
So he transforms back into his natural form, now showing himself to Poseidon properly from the front. His face is red and he's averting his gaze... and also still covering his chest with one arm. But he's not hiding anything else anymore. ]
[Oh. He can't say he was actually expecting for him to change back so soon...at least not until he got his new clothes in order. But he's not disappointed by what he sees, either. Far from it. Even with Amphitrite covering himself still, it doesn't change the way Poseidon feels- and felt- after seeing him like this. It makes his heart beat almost painfully in his chest, and he can't help but reach out and gently rest a fingertip against the side of one of his arms.
...and before long, he's slowly but surely shrunk down to more like his own size, so instead of a finger he can rest his whole hand there, letting it trail down to his elbow.]
...Beautiful. Just...beautiful.
[It's all he can manage, really, before he can't hold himself back any longer and leans in to press a kiss to his lips, a proper one.]
[ First he's calling him beautiful again, and that alone is enough to deepen his blush but then he's kissing him... the first time they've been able to properly kiss since Amphitrite awoke.
It's that realization that makes him freeze at first-- the thing he's been waiting to be able to do for days, waiting until either of them was well enough again to change their size to kiss. Waiting so patiently... and now it's finally happening.
He doesn't keep covering his chest, instead moving both his arms around Poseidon's shoulders and neck, pulling him in closer with a soft moan. ]
Finally I can tag this back after dying over it for literal hours
[Admittedly, he was a bit...afraid that being so forward would not be taken well by the goddess. He'd been so upset and ashamed by his own appearance before that he was concerned he might be forcing an ideal onto him that he just couldn't accept. But he's always been an impulsive type of deity, as most of his family was. Do now, apologize later, for most of them. He just didn't...really want it to have to come to that.
He probably hadn't thought about how this is their first kiss since Amphitrite came to, but it only occurs to him once it's already happening. By then, he's being kissed back with a sort of enthusiasm that tells him that it wasn't wrong for him to do after all.
It's a very comforting feeling, that...and it makes him relax when he feels Amphitrite's arms thread their way around and behind his neck, to which he responds by holding onto him in kind, hands resting carefully along his sides while they kiss.]
[ He hates to part and end this, because honestly he'd like it to never end. But he also knows there will be even more kisses to come; just because it's their first in what feels like ages doesn't mean it'll be their last. So eventually he does part from Poseidon, but not without playfully nipping at the other's bottom lip first.
He rests his forehead against Poseidon's afterwards, eyes barely open more than a small slit. At some point during all that his tail found its way around the other god's, wrapping itself around him. ]
Oh how long I have waited for that... it felt like ages since our last kiss.
[That gets a chuckle out of the sea king, a deep one that reverberates in his chest and rumbles against Amphitrite's even as they've pulled away from one another. Well, if he needed his answer about whether or not that was okay, he got it.]
It does...but it will surely not be the last.
[He tilts his head upward slightly, just enough to bump their noses together briefly.]
[He remarks, lifting a hand to brush his bangs off his forehead. He also takes a brief moment to adjust the crown of shells on his head, noticing it had gone a bit awry since he'd changed in and out of snake form so many times.]
It still can be, you know...there is plenty yet that I have not seen.
SCREAMING also i had this open for hours but then al exploded oops
The implication isn't lost on him, and his face manages to turn even redder. Then he pushes himself away a little by the shoulders, a sly look on his face. ]
Mmmm there is, isn't there? You had something to do though, did you not?
[ One of his hands ghosts up and strokes Poseidon's hair and face. ]
Perhaps we shall see when you finish... ❤
[ he is going to have to undress and redress after all ]
[That is certainly something to look forward to, and a reason he is glad their sons aren't here right now. Hopefully they won't just come barging in later like they tend to forget and just...do. It's not like coral has a door or anything.]
I can get started on that now, if you would like. It should not take me too terribly long...the magic spent will be little enough that it should not cause me any problems, either.
I want you to return to the shore of your island, your island specifically, and pick out a few of the nicest shells you can find and return them to me. By the time you get back, your clothes will be finished.
It is not very far, no. Our sons got to the point where they were leaving home to head for your island before I was even ready to go...it is a very easy path to follow. You will be fine.
[ He pauses for a moment, then turns and digs into the sash he's wearing. ]
Ah-- just a second though.
[ He pulls out some kind of medal and hands it to Poseidon. Upon inspection, it's clearly the one Megami had on the shoulder of his old toga. ]
If you could incorporate this somehow... I would be most grateful. It was given to me by my parents and bears my father's emblem...
[ ...which, to be honest, he's not sure if it makes it okay for him to keep wearing considering who his parents were. Is that a conflict of interest, wearing a prior sea king's emblem while married to the current one...? Well, not like anyone mortal will recognize it anyway. And it is the only thing he has left from them... ]

That thought suddenly gives him a little bit of courage to ask. ]
Did... Did I look okay...? From what you saw...
no subject
[Poseidon looks down at the snake coiled up in his fingers, his expression both soft and sincere.]
You looked incredible. And I am not just saying that. You...really looked like the mother of your sons, in that clothing. You looked like...
[His eyes fall half closed.]
Like...you had been here forever. And that we had been together this entire time...
...on top of being incredibly attractive, of course.
no subject
...Really?
[ He lifts his head up, straightening his body ]

[Poseidon agrees, his smile just as warm and kind as it was before.
He brings Amphitrite close so he can touch the tip of his nose to his snake muzzle.]
You are so beautiful to me.

[And so the painful honeymoon phase begins...it's a really good thing their sons don't have to listen to this right now.
He swims over to collect the fabric in his arms.]
Mmm, I do want this to be a surprise, though...

Could I have you do me a favor while I work on this?
