Lucy waits, one foot dangling outside of the dinghy and her arms folded over her head--it is still very dark. The ship is still anchored nearby for repairs from the unfortunate case of mistaken identity with the Sea People last week, so no one cares that she's taken one of the lifeboats again. Besides, it's so early that no one is using them, so she doesn't feel guilty either--if something bad happens, she'd be able to see and row back to help. But right now, it's fine, which is for the best, because this is the only time she gets to share with-
A wet hand grabs her heel and gives it a shake; Lucy grins and scrambles to sit up.
Overhead, the stars are slowly winking out to give them some privacy, which is kind of them, because this is the only time they can spend together before her love has to go back to herding her school of fish. Lucy barely gets the word "hello" out before the sea girl twines her arms around Lucy's neck and pulls her in for a kiss. In turn, Lucy hauls her up into the boat.
In these dark, predawn minutes, the world is quiet and too lazy to care if one human girl and one sea maiden steal some time for each other. It is the gentlest time and Lucy intends to enjoy every second of it.
*comes screaming, grubby hands extended* MY OTP
