Merfolk were an often hotly contested species among governmental and scientific figures. They have been responsible for numerous incidents and sinking of some ships, but their biology and capabilities were equally fascinating.
So when their aquarium got a hold of an unfortunate mer who had gotten trapped in a trawling net, the scientists were excited. Developing weapons and discovering more about mer biology would get them grant money, and grant money meant everything. The government had already sent over their own liaison officer, eager to make the next step in their war against the ocean.
But no one could get near it. The mer they captured had the unfortunate side effect of being an excellent ambush predator and extremely poisonous, something that was found out when two of the guards were lost to the deadly neurotoxin his spines carried.
The research was grinding to a halt, and everyone was getting frustrated. They needed something, some sort of breakthrough to get the mer calm enough to sedate him. This is where someone's throw away idea of sending Takao in against the creature came in. He was incredibly violent towards any of the scientists and armed guards, but Takao was neither. And they just needed an opening.
"Listen. This thing is tricky. It's really intelligent and a master of disguise. But we need you to draw it out. We're getting nowhere like this, and at the rate we are going, we're going to have to euthanize it and study it that way," the supervisor told Takao, as clinical as someone could get about a living creature.
[ ooc: So I can totally write up a starter for us, but do you have a preference on this being KnB/Free crossover, some sort of AU, or "Prisma never ends, we're there forever" sort of thing? ]
[ooc: I am honestly down with anything, I say handwave them knowing each other if the KnB/Free crossover or AU strikes your fancy. Besides, Prisma is never-ending >> so that's always a possibility XD. Go with whatever flows most natural for you and I will hit it, I am easy.]
If someone had asked him ten years ago when he celebrated his eighteenth birthday on Lunatia with his friends if he thought he would still be there, working as a nurse. In contrast, Midorima worked as a doctor and married; he would have laughed, said he'd still be playing basketball and single. Because at the time, his romantic life was a little more than complicated. He was in the crossfire of his first love and his forever love, just beginning to realize that while the former would always be his best friend, the latter was the one he wanted to be with.
It was subtle when it started; the friendship developed fast, the feelings growing naturally, the love was a surprise, sure they become comfortable—leaning on each other for chroma, playing basketball, cooking lessons. It evolved into Takao spending the night more often than not after those lessons, and when Midorima and Kise got serious, moving in with Kagami to give them some privacy seemed his best choice. The domestic routine came so naturally that he did not realize they had fallen into it until one night watching a movie leaned into Kagami's side, he realized one thing, every time that muscled arm fell across his shoulders, his heartbeat a little faster. It was like glancing up and seeing his friend with new eyes, and their first kiss was not long after; since that day, Takao had never looked back or regretted it when they decided to get married. It just seemed natural to him that they would.
Now, five years later, ten years since they first came to this planet, he is as happy as he has ever been. Working full-time as a nurse with Midorima in the shooter's private practice, Kagami working full-time as a firefighter. Tiger and her brother and sister the lights of both their lives, Takao doting on them like children. There is not much more he could ask out of life for his twenty-eighth birthday, and as he stretches in bed, he pouts when he does not encounter the familiar form of his husband next to him. But he does discover the fluff of a cat and immediately scoops the little orange tabby into his arms, nuzzling his head with a snicker as he slips from the covers and sits him back down. He takes care of his bathroom needs and searches for a certain red-head who better not have gone too far.
All he wants today is to spend the day with his favorite guy; if he has to find him, he's going to have a huffy hawk to kiss better.
If I'm too obnoxious! I got in trouble more because you're a br---uh..huh..ahahahaha..
[He sounds way less upset and more amused than anything though, it was fun, being with the whole team even if he did get lumped in when Midorima was a brat, can he honestly complain? Look at how it turned out after all. And then he is being turned to look at Midorima and there is a look in his eyes and a very pointed unwrapping of that left hand.
Oh..
Ooooh... He does a little step back, which just presses him in against Kise who is behind him.
Then there are Kise's hands and yup, Kise says something but Takao is realizing that this is probably the arrows, this has to be the arrows? Right? Were they those kinds of arrows then?
Not that he has a complaint, in fact even as his ear tips flush he raises his arms so that Kise can have an easier time removing his clothes. Stepping out of anything he needs to. It's not like he is upset so the apology finally filters through and Takao figures if Midorima is going to be like that, two can play that game.
So, he tips his head back and softly kisses under Kise's jaw, voice not as steady as he would like, though he does give Midorima an "I dare you look" after he does it.]
It's okay Ki-chan..best to let him have his way.
[More like Takao is far more into this than Kise may realize, Midorima knows how the point guard feels about him, and well, Takao has never told Kise how he feels about him but he can show it, instead?]
