Part of your world [Merman AU]
red-supremacy:
{ ♔ } Honestly, he was feeling bad to leave her behind like this. However, his brother seemed to be pretty pissed so he can’t do much for the moment. Rongxiu seemed to be sad and it felt like it’s his fault. But shouldn’t she understand? Her father is the king, she can’t speak up to him. So neither can he to his older brother, they might not know but he the heir to the throne. One day he would rule this sea. Compared to that Kouha is just an unimportant prince. There’s nothing he could do since he has no power at all.
Before he knew it they were back in the sea. The two legs he gained before changed back in his tail as soon as they got in the sea again. It had been a weird feeling to have legs all of a sudden but he was able to deal with it back then, only because he didn’t have to walk. His brother must have done this more often, his ability to walk was natural. He could have been a human. But if he would confront him with this he would only anger the other one. Therefore the fuchsia haired male decided not to.
Quickly he returned to his own room. Everything was the same as he left. Of course it had only been one day, not even 24 hours since he was rescued by his brother in the morning. Even though the prince had barely eaten the day before he wasn’t feeling like he should eat something right now. He was lying comfortably on his bed right now, thinking about all what happened yesterday and today. Soon enough a few fishes he saved tried to cheer him up. Of course they all knew what happened and also that the first imperial prince probably wasn’t that happy.
Once the seaweed in the opening started to move the fishes quickly fled. Anyone could guess who that might be. The first imperial prince of course. Unlike usually Kouha didn’t seem to be too happy to see him. He sat up straight and stared at him but that was all for now.
‘’I’m not…’’
He wanted to claim that he wasn’t being sad. Not exactly sad about what happened. It was just… his brother had been rude to the princess. That wasn’t necessary. Maybe he was just feeling sad that Kouen didn’t believe his words. If he had he would have never slapped her hand away and made her cry right?
‘’H-heeeh?! No that’s stupid!’’
Even so he was blushing heavily. And for now his cheeks kept blushing red. How could he ever fall in love with a girl he doesn’t even know that well in the first place? No, it wasn’t about liking someone. Kouen had hurt her, it would be difficult for Kouha to actually tell. Because most likely he was going to sound rude. Nonetheless he would try, try to say it as nicely as possible.
‘’I don’t like her! But she was the only person being nice to me… She wanted to help me… She gave me food because the others didn’t. To you she’s probably like all the other humans… But she was nice to me. She didn’t deserve what you… did to… her…’’
What was that for reaction? If Kouha didn’t like that girl, he shouldn’t be so flushed over it. He should just coldly say no, that it wasn’t like that. But now he’s just defending himself too much. He really didn’t like this, but he also didn’t like to see his little brother being unhappy. But if he would meet that human girl again then something even worse than this might happen. If he would fall in love with her, who knows what kind of future they would have and how father would react. Well, father is already old and quite sick, so he would die soon. But what will all the other fishes and mermaids and mermen think about this if they know that their third prince is dating some human girl. And what kind of children would they have in the future if they would even get married and such. Well, Kouha would be in his human form of course and his body would just be working like a normal human body would. But still, he wonders if Kouha could even do that kind of job, since humans does it differently than them. Why is he even thinking about such things. Anyway, he should at least try to cheer Kouha up, though this would be a difficult one.
“I’m sorry that I was rude towards her, Kouha. But it doesn’t change the fact that she’s the daughter of the kidnapper. But I might have been overreacting. Kouha, do you actually still like the humans and the surface?”
He will regret it, he will surely regret this. But he doesn’t know something else to cheer him up now. Though he would really regret this. But he can’t see his brother being so sad anymore. Even though he would surely regret it. He sighed and wanted to stop thinking about things, his mind is always racing with thoughts and he would even get a headache of it.
“If you really want to see that human girl again or learn about the humans. I could bring you to the surface and turn you into human...”
He actually also wanted to say that he would apologize to that human girl, but that’s a bit too much. He would even let Kouha go to the surface again, so he should be just happy with that. He’s surely going to regret this anyway. If Kouha would go to the surface, he would also go just to keep an eye on him. Something always could happen and Kouha is so inoncent about the human world that he just MUST be protected. Anyway, he would talk to Koumei tonight about it.
Rongxiu was still staring out of the window, just sitting at the window sill. But she’s now not crying anymore, just spacing out. Though both are actually bad, her eyes seems really dead now. It’s like there’s no spirit at all. Her father tried to talk to her, but she couldn’t hear him, no, she doesn’t want to hear anything at all. It’s like she went to her own world. The king gave up and just leave his daughter alone for a while, but this is really something to be worried about. He doesn’t know why she’s behaving like that, actually, he might know but he doesn’t want to admit it. Rongxiu on the other hand really doesn’t know what was going on with her. It’s not like not meeting the merboy again is the end of the world, but she’s still behaving like it’s the end of the world…
