Kon hears the merman’s heart speed up, on the right side of his chest rather than the left; beating in a rhythm different from both his own and that of most humans, slow and sweeping; almost like gentle waves rolling onto the shore. With a breathy, nervous laugh, Tim meets his eyes and adds, “Mostly because messing with you humans is just too much fun to pass up.”
“You think you’re so clever, don’tcha?” Kon drawls, a hint of Midwestern colouring his accent. It’s a souvenir from all those weekends that Clark’s taken Kon home to his parents’ farm with him, a mark in the shape of Kansas; etched deeper into his bones with every time Ma ruffles his hair and every time Pa tells him, ‘Good job, son!’ after a long day of working the fields.
Kon licks his lips and leans in close enough to spot the constellation of tiny, indigo freckles scattered all over Tim’s nose and cheeks; darkening further as his cheeks do, until they’re so blue they’re almost black. With one, final wink, Kon makes a show of breathing in a big lungful of air that he doesn’t need— and lets his body sink back beneath the waves.
BONUS: Sassy Mer lol

“Guess you need to go home, too, right? I mean, I know you don’t live with either of your dads, but I— I bet your, um, girlfriend will be wondering where you are by now?” Tim asks, in a rush. He’s blushing so hard Kon can see his face turn blue in spite of the darkness surrounding them, and his earfins are twitching again.
If you haven’t read it yet, Elle’s TimKon mer fic is a delight ♂️ - I adore the idea of earfins twitching in annoyance or nervousness lol
