reader x (character of your choice), l'm pretty sure I had
someone in mind when I first wrote this, but it's been
months and I have No Clue, lowkey disturbing. reader is
manipulating mansplaining manwhoring this
Tell me if I miss anything :P
Heavy breathing.
The deafening sound of skin brushing against skin.
The shrill laughter coming from them made butterflies flare up in such a beautiful way in you.
"Haha! (redacted)!" They'd gleefully chuckle as you'd both roll around in the pillow fort you made together, tears forming in the corner of their eyes.
And you'd laugh right back, engulfing them in a loving hug they'd surely return.
They just loved you so, so much.
And you loved them too.
Enough to put them under a spell.
Enough to make sure all they thought about was you, you, you.
Because they loved you so much.
And you loved them too.
They'd cry and cry, but how could they be sad? When all they could feel was the tight pull on their heart when they saw you? When they heard your voice? When they tried to resist the spell you put them under?
Those were just tears of joy. What more could they be?
Their dead eyes meant nothing, so long as they gazed at you, and you alone.
They didn't mind when the people they were once close to vanished. One after the other
How could they?
They were too preoccupied with wedding plans to even think about their companions dropping like flies around them.
You'd speak, and they'd listen. Obey. Without question.
All because they loved you
And you loved them too.

This morning has been disappointing. I've finally got the money to stock my fish tank that's been sitting, cycled, but devoid of fish for the last 18 months, last week I got some cardinal tetras to go in it because I'm doing an upper Negro biotope type thing. They seem to be doing well, and though cardinals aren't my favourite fish, they've brought my a lot of joy.
But they were really just a prelude to the main event: ordered 11 days ago but arriving this morning was a pair of Apistogramma gephyra, perfect for the system I'm trying to replicate, gorgeous and small. I have been chewing the walls for the last week waiting for them to arrive, even though I knew it was going to be today. Just look at this photo from the seller's website!
Opened the box, pulled out the first bag ready to stare lovingly at my new fish and...why are their tails like that? I mean, apistos famously change colour a lot but the tail is square, and orange-red.
Shite pic I know but it is what it is.
They've sent me a pair of A. macmasteri "red" by accident. A fine fish I'm sure, clearly a lot of people like them, and they're the same price so it's not like the sellers are trying to rip me off. Tbh they're by far a more popular fish than gephyra.
Unfortunately I personally don't care for macmasteri, but beyond that they're from the Rio Meta, a whitewater river, while my tank is distinctly blackwater (conductivity of "lol no", pH somewhere south of 5.0, it's basically just slightly grubby RO). And apistos are noted to be territorial with not just their own species, but others in the genus so I can't just get some gephyra too now without having to send those back, which...shipping fish is a pain and not one I'm set up for. I'll see what the seller says but suffice to say I'm disappointed, went from giddy with excitement to dejected in seconds.
