 It was a beautiful day and many families were out and about in the central park. Children played on swing sets while parents watched from park benches. Couples went for walks down paved trails lined with flowers. And others gathered around the park fountain to relax in a comforting atmosphere.
But, there were certain things you didn't do in a public park. Swimming in the park fountain was one of them. Satoshi didn't seem to care though; it was too hot to care. But several heads turned to look at the curious sight of a boy sitting on the fountain ledge, legs dangling over the concrete barrier with his entire upper body submerged in water. The only way anyone knew he was still alive was by the idle kicking of his heels against the concrete. Satoshi remained under water for almost an hour, breathing in through his gills.
Most people chose to walk away from the strange boy, guiding their children in another direction. Others gawked or took pictures and several took no notice at all. But the boy was starting to get hungry, and although the fountain was littered with coins, those were not edible. He'd have to get out of the fountain if he wanted to eat.
His arms stretched up out of the water, joints popping to release some tension. It was so relaxing in the water. He had half a mind to transform and keep swimming, but then he'd never make it home... "Just five more minutes." He thought to himself as his arms went flopping back to the water. Satoshi closed his eyes to relax, focusing on the sound of the fountain as he started to doze off.

Such a day was to be savored and enjoyed by all! Monet was surely no exception! Work had been tiresome, and arduous as it tended to be... but when he walked out of those glass-paned doors, it felt like weight had lifted from his scale clad shoulders. Caramel skin glistened along with the thin, though strong, plates that covered both cheekbones and shoulders under the merciless sunlight, sparkles shimmering off of the long tail that followed behind the towering figure that owned it. A hand, slender as the rest of his form, lifted to pull a pair of glasses from his face, fold them, and tuck them into a very tiny pocket that could only conceal about halfway up the spectacles. After all... his shorts were undeniably short. He often dressed in a scanty manner, just because he didn't like to wear much at all. So the bare minimum it was! Hey, it covered all it needed to. That's all that mattered! So what if it showed some skin? It you got it, flaunt it!
His phone vibrated ceaselessly, but it was paid little to no mind as the tall beauty strolled along the busy streets, earning plenty of looks his way. Such attention was met with a charming smile, and perhaps even a wink if a guy was cute enough. But he didn't stop for any of them, even those who tried a flirty little holler. No, he was wanting to wind down from the day, and the park seemed a perfect place to. Nothing like the great outdoors. A nice dip into a large body of water would be nice, but... that was hard to come by... and the nearest lake was usually inhabited by eager fishermen. But no matter! The park was just as good. As much as he enjoyed water, he had just as much affinity for heat!
The mononoke's gait was fluid, graceful, and clearly radiated confidence; not to be confused with arrogance. Brilliant seagreen eyes would flicker this way and that to spot the various folks also partaking in the parks leisurely environment. He would especially smile brighter at the sight of joyful children. How he loved kids~ So fun, and adorable! A light chiming could be heard from him with each step taken, his jewelry dotted on ears, wrists, and tail, making a conscious effort not to accidentally brush any by-passers with the extra appendage behind him. However, on his casual stroll, his eyes had naturally deterred over to one of the grand fountains. A double take was necessary... were those legs? Blinking curiously, the man stopped entirely, to access and observe the sight for a moment. One edge of lush lips twitched with a grin wanting to peel, his route veering to take a look at who was taking a dip. Hands crossing behind him in a non-threatening position, he leaned over the edge of the fountain once close enough, to take a peek at the bold individual.
Seeing the face beneath the waters surface, a chuckle rumbled in a very light tone, lips mouthing the word "Hello~"

No cares in the world. That was the look upon Satoshi's face as he remained submerged in the fountain water. Nothing could bother him. He looked absolutely peaceful as if he was... wait... He really wasn't sleeping in the water, was he? His mind was just about to release and begin sleep mode before he heard it. A voice. It was just loud enough to snap his mind back to reality and those copper eyes blinked open. From under the water, Monet's image was a blur and he struggled to focused on the man in front of his face. His peaceful face twisted into a frown as he exhaled some bubbles. Damn it...
Taking one last breathe of water, he held it as he began to sit up. Getting up was actually difficult to do! He was laying in the fountain for over an hour. He felt his entire spine popping as he raised his body out of the water, a small moan of pleasure erupting from his throat. It was one of those moans that could only occur when someone has the full sensation of their back popping out the tension. It felt so gooooood.
Reaching up, he brushed his wet bangs from his hair. Finally he released that breath and adjusted his breathing. It was always difficult to take that first breath of air through his mouth. His shoulders shook violently as he coughed, spitting some water into his hand. "Ugh." Yea, that was the worst part of it. The choking feeling he had if water remained in his gills when he took that first breath of fresh air. Like sipping water the wrong way. Taking another moment to clear his throat of the remaining water, he gave the new man his full attention.
"Alright, alright... I'll get out of the damn fountain. God. I wasn't doing anything wrong..." Yea, he thought, for a moment, that the man was some sort of official. Certainly not dressed that way. Copper eyes scanned him over and a slender eyebrow rose. Dude almost looked like a chick. Short shorts, jewelry and slightly attractive. Well, as attractive as he'd admit for a dude. "Nevermind. Thought you were a cop or something." He muttered, glancing back at the water. If there weren’t so many people around he'd just strip naked, transform and swim around... but the last time he swam in a public place he ended up in an petshop. That elderly woman was rather shocked to see his naked a** coming out of the koi pond!
"Tch." He was up now. Might as well stay up and head home. "Thanks... bro. I guess. You woke me up from my nap..." Although it really wasn't a thankful tone of voice as the boy was more irritated than anything. He probably could have slept well into the evening hours if this dude never bothered him. But he should be thankful his a** wasn't landed in jail. God that would have been a horrible phone call to his parents.
Standing to his feet, he fixed Monet with a stare. Water still dripped from his hair and fins, though the mononoke didn't seem bothered by it. He simply cocked his weight to one sighed and stared the man down. But before he could say the words he was forming, his stomach let out a loud growl, annoucing it's hunger. Damn. Was it that late already? Sighing, Satoshi rose a hand to brush more of his wet bangs from his face, sad that he was already beginning to warm in the sun. "Well, did you want something... or no..? Cause if not I'm gunna jet and go get some dinner." He muttered, wiping water from his eyes.✖

Seafoam green eyes watched curiously as the boy began to rise, as if he were a zombie lifting out of its grave. Smiling blissfully, tail snaking slowly behind him with a curious sort of nature, Monet gave the boy some time to gather himself and gain his bearings. However the display of coughing and hacking had the beauty raising a brow, and an eye squinting slightly in a sort of wince. Well that was intense... giving a mildly worried look with his brows raised in a questioning manner, his head tipped slightly, "You alright there, kid?" he asked. Eyeing those large ears dawned on either side of the others head had him wondering now, though. A fellow mononoke? Awesome! His own finned ears gave a few twitches in a contained delighted manner, flitting once in awhile for short spurts.
His smile faltered for a moment, as the kid started mumbling about getting out, causing him to blink with confusion. Get out? A chuckle started to rumble in response, head shaking lightly, "I don't remember saying anything about you getting out~" he replied smoothly, with clear teasing to his tone. With the boy correcting himself though, Monet let his hands rest back onto his hips, and his amused expression return, "Though I have to say... not the best place to go for a dip, hun~ You know some people can get." he made an idle tip of his head as if to gesture about to some of 'those people'. "Why not take a dip in a pool, or lake, hm? With those fins there, I'm sure you'd like it much more than this shallow little puddle." Stepping forward, a hand lifted to let a single finger dip in and swirl about, causing the water the whirlpool and coil up the digit, before retracting with a flick of the tanned length. It wasn't even big enough to house one of his size! Being 6'3 did have its disadvantages. That's why he had to get a specially made bath for himself. Cost a boat load, but it was worth it! definitely worth it.
The youngster's clear disgruntled attitude had Monet raising a delicate brow again, and a lip pouting playfully, "Well soooorryyy. I was just being a considered citizen and making sure you were ok, that's all~" he cooly replied, giving a little shrug of his shoulders in an innocent gesture. It was true... to a degree. He really just wanted to see what the heck the guy was doing. "Isn't there somewhere else you could doze off at? I know a lot of nice lakes that are great for such things~" he announced, smile brightening. The sound of something growling and whining had his eyes widening slightly, and brilliat gaze dart down to the bare tummy before him. Laughter lifted from him in a very feathery, and musical like tone. "Well I certainly wouldn't want to keep you from dinner. I'd say that's a great place to start." Eyeing around the park again, his tail twitched at the fin, his bangles chiming in a joyful way, "Eating does sound nice..." he pondered, a hand lifting to tap at his chin. Maybe he should eat too. Ah, but he was hoping for a date tonight... or at least meeting a cute guy to eat dinner with...

The boy listened as Monet spoke, his copper eyes watching the other’s hand with curiosity. Oh his envious side spiked watching the water twirl around that delicate finger. Satoshi wished he could control water with the ease that Monet displayed. With a heavy sigh, he lifted his eyes to look at Monet once more before he spoke.
"I probably should have mentioned, though at this point it’s probably obvious… I’m crabby when I first wake. So don’t take anything too personally."He muttered, waving nonchalantly at the air as if it really was nothing. Well, to him it wasn’t. Everyone had attitude at times, he simply had it upon waking up. He was listening to Monet continue as he stood there, but Satoshi seemed a bit distracted. His shirt was soaked. Dropping his hands to the hem of his t-shirt, it was effortlessly lifted up and over his head. Scaled skin was exposed, patches of scales located on several spots of his body. The patches seemed to start on his midline and expand out, also clustering on his shoulders and collar bone. A patch even poked up from below his waist line, but how far down it stretched was a mystery for the time being. Satoshi didn’t care that he was topless, wringing out his dripping shirt was higher on his care meter.
"I could have slept in my room in thmye bathtub or my kiddie pool… but I was out here in the park when the water drew me in. I’m a fish Mononoke, koi fish to get specific. Sometimes when I smell water, or see it, I just lose my sense of control. I’m just damn glad I didn’t fully transform and go for a dip. I hate coming to my senses that way. I end up walking home dripping wet. So, even though I was asleep in the fountain and my shirt is soaked, it’s a win to me." He explained with a careless shrug, squeezing his shirt several times to get the majority of the water out of the fabric. He seemed to be OK with the dampness and gave it one final shake before the shirt was fought back on. Wet fabric was such a pain!
"Since you woke me up before the cops did, I’ll buy you a quick bite to eat." It was rare of him to actually buy someone a meal, but lately it seemed to be a growing trend. He’d have to n** that in the bud. "Unless I’m keeping you from something… If you have something else you need to do, by all means, I won’t hold you back. But some company would be nice."
