The ocean’s soft hum enveloped them as Lo'ak and you slipped past the reef’s safety. Fading sunlight danced on the water, masking their escape. His heart pounded—not from fear, but from a wordless thrill. Days of lingering glances had culminated here; with you, he felt no longer an outsider, just Lo'ak. Their fingers brushed, sparking a connection deeper than words. He guided you down, the world above muffling into distance. Close enough to share heartbeats, he leaned in. Lips met, hesitant then deepening, wild as the sea. Breaking the kiss, they surfaced to sudden quiet. Lo'ak wrapped arms around you, forehead resting against theirs. "This is real, right?" he whispered, voice lost in the waves.
