[R].:Underwater Waltz 2:.

[Reupload from 2019]

A ridiculous argument unfolded between the two, ending up with Gladion swimming off in anger as per usual. Luna didn’t understand why he got angry, as she was trying her best to explain some things to him about her people and how society works. But him coming from a human world, it was understandable that there was some sort of language barrier. Luna let him go off for a while, letting him cool off before swimming after him. Finding him sulking around a reef, she swam up to him, looking a little scared since he looked ready to launch at her any second. She apologized, trying again to tell him what she was trying to say. Doing her best to use whatever human logic she knew. His frown softened while listening to her, finding it rather ridiculous that she were trying to use human logic to get through to him. He sighed and got over to her, saying that it was fine and that she could stop trying, since it made less sense the more she tried. She sighed and hung her head a little.

Sitting around the reef, she tried again, telling him on how the Merpeople lived their lives etc. What caught his attention was that her kind would usually mimic a few human behaviours, one being dancing. She told him without thinking that she had always wanted to, but didn’t know how because of her tail. With that, he got up and asked her, thinking that it couldn’t be to hard to do a few simple spins. She looked up at him in surprise and hesitated before taking his hand. It took a few rounds before it looked even close to something like humans did. Feeling like she can finally do something similar, she smiled and soft giggles escaped from her, having fun. Seeing that she was having a blast, his usual stern expression softened greatly, finding himself enjoying it. 

After a few broken twirls, they came to a halt when they heard something rather loud in the distance. Still standing quite close, they exchanged looks before some soft chuckles came from them both. Luna gently placed her hand on his cheek. It’s good to see a genuine smile from you for once.// she said softly, still smiling at him. It took him completely off guard, his eyes getting wider as he kept them glued on her. She had been around for years, as she did end up in the aquarium in his new office years back. He just never thought that she would notice anything, since she was behind a glass wall and under water at all times. Feeling his heart racing in his chest, he gently grabbing her wrist in an attempt to move her hand away. He couldn’t, the gentleness of her hand on his cheek was too heavy for him to be able to remove, ending up with him gently having a hold of her wrist, keeping her hand right were it was.
