"I'm pretty sure I ended up falling asleep. I don't remember much from that age, but that's just one memory that stuck with me because I remember him telling me i was being a shit an' to just go sleep on the pile like a normal wriggler."

"I have a memory of walking up to my bro at an early age. Like he was sitting down, and I was probably still learning, and I just know he looked really fucking big. I was pretty much taught out of crying and whining though." Which was pretty unhealthy because now he doesn't know how to express anything.

🌀

He smiled, though it faded a bit at the end of his sentence. He wouldn't bring it up unless Dave did, but he still didn't like it. "My lusus had a habit of zoning out I guess you could say. Or disappearing for a bit to go do something. It's probably why I ended up such a whiny, needy brat. No one to keep me in line when I really needed it."

●

He wrinkled his nose a little. "Well that's shitty of him. Bro was always around. Sometimes he left me with a neighbour or something when he needed to work extra hours, but she was cool. She made me cookies."

2015-08-15 13:27:09

🌀

He shrugged. "He had shit to do I guess. I dunno what lusii get up to aside from taking care of wrigglers. Plus I could generally get his attention again if I bit him or broke something or cried loud enough." He kissed his jaw. "Grew up pampered on cookies an' raps didja?" He teased.

●

He snorts and grins, shaking his head. "You were such a little shit." He kissed the top of his head again.

"Yeah, I did." And buried in piles of puppet ass. "I was pretty quiet. If you gave me one of those disposable cameras or let me watch cartoons I'd be quiet for hours."

🌀

He nodded, snickering. He rested his head against his shoulder, looking down at the shells.

"Once I could read properly he just left me alone with piles of books an' food if he was going to be away for longer than a day or two. I read books to entertain myself with once I got older."

2015-08-15 13:35:30

●

"That's the fucking dream, piles of food and entertainment." Dave smirked. "So that's how you grew up to be such a nerd."

2015-08-15 13:37:19

🌀

"Lusii abandonment an' books. Yeah pretty much." He rolled his eyes, huffing against neck and shaking his head a bit. "It was mainly roe cubes though. The food. Because it could be frozen an' was easy for me to heat up if I really wanted hot food."

2015-08-15 13:39:04

●

Dave nods, finding another scale in the box after a while searching. "Hey, I grew up on frozen food for the most part. I mean I heated it up to eat, of course, but you got me." He hands him the scale.

2015-08-15 13:42:28

🌀

He took the scale, looking down at this one as well. "I guess you'd have something more appealing than roe cubes to eat though." He smiled at him, pressing a kiss to his cheek.

2015-08-15 23:13:27

●

Dave smiled back at him, kissing his shoulder in return. "You got me there, alright."

2015-08-15 23:21:02

🌀

He grinned, kissing his jaw in return and setting the scales down to pull out the last of the shells. Almost half the table was covered now. He nudged Dave, gesturing to them. "So which is the prettiest?"

2015-08-15 23:25:04

●

He hummed in thought, looking them over as he wrapped an arm around his waist.

"I like this one a lot." He pointed at a spiral shell with spikes, all brown and white.

2015-08-15 23:47:42

🌀

He nodded, picking up the shell to have a closer look. "I found this one in a tide pool a few years ago. I'm pretty sure it used to belong to a crab or something but got left after it changed shells."

2015-08-16 00:03:55

●

"Lucky crab." He smiles, nuzzling his jaw. "I like all the big ones, honestly. They have a lot of detail."

2015-08-16 00:07:40

🌀

"They do. I tried to make sure I found the most intact ones. An' the nicest looking ones." He leant against him, smiling a bit.

2015-08-16 00:12:09

●

"It's a nice collection. You should get a fuck ton of shelves and display them all there." Dave grins, kissing his temple.

2015-08-16 00:14:39

🌀

"I could do. But I would need a lot of shelves an' then I'd have to make sure they were arranged in such an order that it would look appealing an' not like I just randomly placed them together."

2015-08-16 00:16:32

●

"I could help you with that, your walls are huge and great for that sort of thing." He really wanted to bring him something sea related from his trip.

2015-08-16 00:18:17

🌀

"It'd be a good thing to waste time on." He turned a bit to look at him, smiling as he kissed his cheek. "Which wall would I put it on?"

2015-08-16 00:19:03

●

"Hmm. Your bedroom. No one comes stomping into your bedroom and trying to fight you there . The one you see when you walk in."

2015-08-16 00:20:21

🌀

He snickered, nodding. "I guess. But then where would I put it in my room? One wall is taken up by a fishtank. An' it might look messy on the other walls." He thought for a bit. "I guess I could put it in the study. I don't really use it much."

2015-08-16 00:22:23

●

"That's also a nice idea." He smiles, nodding. He couldn't help but notice the one he caught was on the table too. "Adding that one to the collection too?"

2015-08-16 00:25:33

🌀

He nodded, and glanced at the shell. "Of course. It's pretty, an' it's intact. Why wouldn't I include it?"
