[ he fits neatly against floyd's side and that brings a feeling of satisfaction that he's rarely felt before in his life. it just hits differently; while he would say that he and his brother are inseparable, the way that riddle nestles into his body is far more intimate. a closeness that goes past the physical and leaves an imprint that not even the most capricious merman can ignore. it doesn't just benefit him, after all. ]

Ya definitely write a lot. And the way ya do it, ya might as well be the one givin' the lectures.

[ he's pissed trein off more times than he can count. he can only imagine it'd be more interesting if it were riddle up there... floyd definitely couldn't get away with anything if that happened though. ]

Could probably condense things a lil' more. Imagine if ya were writin' 'em for me. Think I'd even get past the first two lines?

[ using himself as an example feels like a natural way for him to think about it, only because if he were a future audience for such material, there's no way floyd would want to read too much. the old KISS method comes to mind. there's also the new kiss method, having the top of riddle's head available. it's right there, free real estate. how could he not press his face into it, nosing through the soft hair, indulging himself with the subtle scent of roses. ]
