For the first time (Jade leech)
“Here for the first time. Now for the first time!”
Ever since you were little you dreamed of helping merfolk learn to live on land. The dream stemmed from the fact that your mom fell in love with a merman. You wanted other merfolk to live just as happily as your parents did.
Now there you were at one of the most popular facilities that was capable of helping merfolk. They did everything possible for these people. For example, providing transformation potions, and lessons of all sorts to get used to land.
You were currently looking through your phone, trying to find your next mountain adventure. Though that was quickly interrupted by your mother (who also helped at the facility). “Honey, I’d like you to meet Jade leech. You’ll be helping him get adjusted to land for the next few months!”
You quickly stood up and observed the boy. He was quite tall and not to mention his eyes were beautiful. His hair was a stunning color as well. He looked like such a gentleman as he quietly stared back at you.
“Pardon, but is there something on my face?” Jade questioned.
Your face quickly turned a shade of pink. ‘Didn’t realize I was staring too long,’ you thought. “Oh- um not at all! Sorry about that.”
Now that’s where everything began.
For the next few weeks, your days were filled with Jade leech. He was interesting to say the least. Slowly but surely you found him endearing, he was always filled with such curiosity and mischief.
There were so many moments that you held dear. The first time he managed to jump, the shock in his eyes when he accomplished that small but meaningful obstacle. The time where the fire blazed and decorated the sky with its hue, seeing Jade’s eyes sparkle in amazement, his hand slowly leaning to touch it but moving away quickly at the heat. Him trying all sorts of meals and getting to enjoy the satisfied smile on his face after.
But there is one moment you hold above every other moment. It was the first time you asked Jade to hang out with you outside of helping him adjust. You didn’t want to admit it but you had caught feelings for the boy.
“Would you care to join me in going to the mountains?” Jade just gave you a little playful smile making you completely nervous. “I-I mean only if you want to.”
Your reaction got him to laugh that mischievous but beautiful laugh of his. “I’d be delighted to accompany you. I’ve never been up a mountain, so it should be interesting.”
It was finally the day you were going up the mountains with Jade. His attire was quite stunning, making your heart skip a beat.
“I hope my attire is appropriate for this occasion. I did my research after all,” Jade commented, smiling softly.
You gave him an enthusiastic nod. So cute, he looked into this!
As you went up the mountain with Jade you went on a rant about all sorts of plants and animals that were up the mountain. Talking about all the mountains had to offer was one of your biggest passions after all.
Jade stared at you intently, taking in every single word you spoke. He loved learning about the world on land, and you were the perfect person for that.
You finally took note of his stare causing you to flinch. “Im sorry, am I going overboard?”
“Not at all. In fact I’m rather intrigued,” Jade grinned, carrying a slight tone of tease.
After a few minutes it was now your turn to stare. It was wonderful to see just how in awe Jade was. He moved quickly from place to place. Crouching down to look at the plants up close. The stuff that caught his eye the most was different types of mushrooms. It was quite cute actually.
After wandering around, Jade and you sat in a small flower patch observing the beautiful night sky. “This mountain was beautiful but I do hope to visit enchantment lakes one day! It has always been on my must see list.”
Jade tilted his head slightly. “Why so?”
Your eyes began to sparkle. “Ive looked at various photos and the lakes just look so beautiful from up there! I love how the water touches the land. Making both of our worlds collide with such beauty.”
Jade was now attending Night Raven College. And it’s safe to say that you miss him. You stare at the photos you took with him like a wife whose husband has been set out to war. Sure you kept contact with him through text and call but it would never feel the same as having him right here with you.
A message appeared on your phone almost as if the world knew you craved his presence.
The message was from Jade, reading, look out the door. You quickly got on your feet, practically slipping. There he was all bright and handsome as always.
“Care to join me in visiting enchantment lakes?” Jade smirked.
Of course you accepted!! You’d be crazy not to.
A bright smile appeared on his face. It wasn’t a teasing one or a mischievous one. It was one of his rare genuine smiles. And it was all because of you. The person who introduced him to his love for mountains and mushrooms. The person who made him feel like he belonged on land.
The person he got to experience all his first times with.
A/N: this oneshot is based off one of the songs from the most recent little mermaid! I wanted to make a one shot based on songs from the dorms respective movies and using my favorite characters from each dorm :) this one came out kinda eh (╥﹏╥) but I hope it’s enjoyable nonetheless. If you’re interested in the other versions ive made of this so far, it’ll be down this!
