kiss the girl. the little mermaid.
there you see her, sitting there across the way
she don't got a lot to say, but there's something about her.
and you don't know why, but you're dying to try
you gotta kiss the girl.

[ Generally speaking, Furuya hates parties. They're loud, there's a lot of people, and he doesn't get to just peacefully enjoy anything about it because people keep coming up to him. It's a constant traffic to and from him, especially when he's supposed to be getting married and there are princesses (and princes, though the bias is obvious) constantly wanting to talk to him. Some of them are nice, others don't let him get a word in even if it's a small one, others still are fairly rude to him.

But this party, he has Haruichi with him. Seeing him had been a shock but a delight, and he'd spent the entire night since he arrived to when he left just radiating delight. They danced, like when they were on the beach and Furuya had to carry his weight because of his tail, and he showed him all the food that they eat on the surface. It was... it made everything fun.

So of course he doesn't stay much longer after Haruichi is gone, heading for his room rather than sticking around. Miyuki covers for him, grudgingly but with a knowing look in his eye that he doesn't quite understand. So he makes a beeline through the party and to his room, undoing his collar and pulling off his gloves as he opens the door and enters.

But he doesn't expect to see someone else in the room. ] Kominato-kun?

[ haruichi has found that he actually enjoys going to parties. part of that is just because everything about the human experience is new to him, new and exciting and wonderful. it's only been a week or so since he stepped onto land for the very first time, with a medal pinned into his hair and directions to find furuya satoru, and he's absolutely infatuated with land and all of the things within it.

one of those things includes furuya himself.

since he's arrived in the kingdom, he learned what the medal was supposed to mean--considering all the housemaids greeted him as 'satoru-kun's fiancee', it wasn't hard to figure it out--but haruichi hasn't found himself minding so much. he wore the small favor in his hair the entire party, felt the stares on his back that might have been envy, but overall handled the crowd with grace and aplomb (and a little bit of embarrassment.) but one too many questions from jealous suitors meant that haruichi was whisked off by miyuki before anyone tried to find out what kingdom he came from ("under the sea" was not a terribly valid answer) and he'd since changed into his pajamas and spent a little time in his room.

but. all haruichi wanted to do was be down there. he wanted to dance with furuya again, spinning around the dance floor. humans were amazing, and he figures if he can't dance, he can at least watch, so he quietly slips into furuya's large room with the balcony and settles in.

until, of course, furuya actually comes in.

haruichi jumps and whirls around, his cheeks flaming bright red. ] Furuya-kun--! I, um--ah, sorry.

[ he still looks so handsome... even with his collar undone and his gloves off, it makes haruichi's heart twinge at the very sight of his prince. ]

[ Dropping his gloves onto his bureau - where he's supposed to do paperwork and read treaties, but mostly just reads about animals and the lands they come from - Furuya hesitates a moment before he comes further into the room, ducking his head a little like he's the one that was caught doing something. Mostly he's just pleased that he's there, because he didn't want the night to end. It was just a matter of hiding where he came from, making sure other people didn't figure it out or hurt him because he came from out of nowhere. Even he knows better than to put him at risk.

Miyuki is bound to do something about it, so. He'll enjoy Haruichi's company while he can, especially when there's no one else around to interrupt them. ]

It's okay. [ So, he just dismisses it, looking up at him from under his brow before he steps out onto the balcony with him. The party below seems distant, more welcoming in its reaching lights and the chatter and music all blending together into one entity. It's nice. He's never looked down on it like this before. ] I don't mind, so... you can come here whenever you like.

[ Haruichi looks amazing in the lights from the party, the dim one from his room, even if he's in just pajamas instead of his party clothes. Then again, he'd thought that he was amazing when they first met, when he'd fallen off the ship and into the water. He wants to reach out and brush his fingers through his hair beneath the medal, but instead he just sets his hands against the railing of the balcony and peers down. ]

It looks different up here.

[ the way furuya looks up at him from under his brow is pretty much in time with the dull thunk of cupid's arrow striking him in the heart, and he flushes a little further with it, thankful as he often is for the curtain of his bangs hiding the majority of his expression. he must look as stupid as he feels, all fluttery and tingly all over--all of this because he'd caught furuya when he'd, almost literally, fallen on top of him in the water.

really, furuya was lucky. if he'd run into his any other member of his kind--the specter of a person he can see in his mind's eye but can't remember--he would have been dead meat. but for haruichi, who feels more natural with flat teeth in his mouth than sharp ones, he knew he had to rescue him. and now, he gets to see him every day, walks with him on his still wobbly every now and then legs, learn how to be human by his side. it's really, really nice.

he hasn't said anything about how he really feels about him yet, but, it's fairly obvious. the fact that he hasn't given back the brooch maybe says that better than anything else.

as furuya comes to the balcony, haruichi turns his smile away from him finally and does the same, curling his fingers around the railing. his smile is soft and fond, matching his voice. ] Doesn't it? I've been watching since I had to leave. There's so much to see...humans are amazing.
