Day 28 || Lulu & Nixie || Locked Room

 

Bodies almost pressed together as they were squeezed into the small space, the door shut tightly closed. It's not that they couldn't escape though, no. They just didn't want to be found.

 

Nixie squirmed as she was pressed up awkwardly against the wall of this… room? They were in. Her arms were squeezed against her as Lulu towered above her, leaning over her with arms braced above her head, trying not to squish her further.

 

The room they were in was honestly not really even a room, just a small unused closet that someone cleaned out recently. The shelves were emptied too, which was good but they took up precious space, so Nixie was stuck half standing, half sitting beneath Lulu.

 

“Are they-” Nixie's whispers were cut off by Lulu shushing her, to which she stopped talking.

 

Nixie could feel the heat in her cheeks rising the longer they were in this position. Plus, her legs were getting tired as they began to shake a little from the strain.

 

She really wasn't used to being Human for so long, honestly, she wished to be back in the ocean and swimming with her tail instead. Besides, the longer they stayed in here, the more she was drying up. Nixie really needed water ASAP, otherwise she would turn back into a mermaid..

 

Lulu, after being close to her for so long had already dried from the dampness before (thanks to their close proximity), and that gave her a clue as to just how much time she had left.

 

The noises outside the closet seemed to have quietened down for a while now, though Lulu still kept an ear out, just in case. With her super sensitive hearing she could heat a pin drop from a mile away.

 

Lulu's ears twitched a little more before settling. Then she turned her attention to Nixie.

 

“I told you not to steal from them.” She stated in a matter of fact tone, slightly louder than a whisper.

 

To which Nixie felt a little shame, as her eyes drifted to the floor. Remembering that it was kind of her fault they're in this position right now.

 

“Sorry…”

 

A moment of silence passed before Lulu sighed softly

 

“Well, it seems like they're gone now, so… the coast is clear.” 

 

The lack of lighting in the closet made it hard to see anything, but Lulu was sure Nixie looked like a sad puppy that just got scolded.

 

Reaching a hand down as best she could with the minimal space they had, Lulu gently pat Nixie on the head as a gesture of comfort while also checking for her water levels.

 

If her hair was dry then that was a good indication that time was running out and water was needed.

 

At the feeling of a hand on her head, Nixie tensed up a little, wondering if she was going to get a bop on the head for her theft, but was surprised to feel a pat instead.

 

“You need water. Let's get out of here before someone else comes by.” Lulu suggested, taking her hand off Nixie's head.

 

To which she replied with a nod and soft “Mhmm.”

 

The door opened soundlessly as Lulu poked her head out to check before giving Nixie the all clear.

 

Finally being able to stand up for what felt like hours, Nixie's legs felt like jello as she leaned against the walls for support as she left the cramped closet. Thankful for freedom and open air once again…

 

But not for long as she soon found herself picked up as Lulu scooped her up, bridal style.

 

“Hey..!” She yelped in surprise, wrapping her arms around Lulu's neck as if afraid she was going to get dropped.

 

“You're under arrest by the way~” Lulu teased with a smug smile on her face, causing Nixie to pout.

 

“Finee, I'll give it back..!”

 

“It's too late. The crime has been committed, you shall be punished.” Lulu laughed playfully as she began walking, leaving the now unoccupied building behind, and planning a route to the nearest pool (or body of water).

 

Not that Nixie knows it as she tried to plead her case.
