Anteros Princely stood on the platform bus stop, bouncing slightly on his feet. He'd FINALLY convinced his boyfriend Arion to go on an outing with him! They were going with a group of Ever After High students headed to Mirror Beach, and he was royally hexcited for the trip. The aformentioned boyfriend, Arion Neptune, looked sullenly at his boyfriend, disgruntled by the fact that he'd been lured into this outing when all he wanted to do was curl up in his dorm room and read while cuddled with Anteros.

~Earlier that Day....~

"But Arion! It'll be so much fun! You need to get out more, remember? There was this whole 'I'm going to be more outgoing and friendly and involved this year' speech you made at the beginning of the year, yet you'd rather stay cooped up in this 'tower' when it's such a nice day outside?" Anteros pleaded with the merman as the boy in question lounged in his chair, calmly reading a book.

"There's nothing wrong with staying inside and having some quiet time, 'Teros. It's quite healthy, actually. I promise I'll go outside tomorrow or something."

Anteros was perplexed, trying to figure out how to get the boy to spend some time outdoors with him. Then, he had an idea!

"....It's at the beee-aaaach, Ari'."

Arion sat perfectly still, then slowly raised his head out of his book. "....The beach, you say?" He queried, dutiful in steeling his features to hide his hexcitement at the thought of going to the beach.

"Mmmm-hmmm," Anteros confirmed. "With starfish, and sand, and crabs......and saltwater."

Arion's facial features twitched, cracks showing in his steel facade.

"And no one would mind your ta-iiill," sing songed Anteros.

Arion's mouth twitched once, twice..... then the facade crumbled and he sighed out an "Ok I'll go."

Anteros squealed and bounced up and down. "Yay! Thank you so much, you won't regret it. Ooooh, we're going to have so much fun!"

~Present Time~

Arion was still a bit miffed, but one look at Anteros's beaming face melted his heart, just a little.

He was still mad that he'd manipulated him, though.

~Meanwhile....~

Myrtil Starboard sat on one of the benches near the bus stop, busy hexting his girlfriend Tempis. He, too, was going to the beach, though he had no idea that Arion and Anteros were headed there too. He focused heavily on his mirrorphone, keeping an ear open for the bus's distinctive sound of approach.
