Do you believe in fairy tales?
When suzy woke up the first thing she saw was brown. Deep shell brown with flecks of gold, she stared up into a pair of brown eyes and had to catch her breath a few times. Oh wait that wasn’t the eyes that was the burn of her dry skin and lungs.
Dan looked down at the woman he found washed up on the beach during his stroll, was she really a woman at all? Her hair was jet black and wet as it clung to her face and the sand. Her chest was naked but at the same time her breats and sides, were covered in pure white scales. Said scales ran down her waist and her- her tail?- Was made up of them. He reached out to touch her cheek and her eyes flew open pupils dialating from almost pure black taking up all of her eyes, to tiny slits that made her eyes look like a cat’s. Dan gasped lightly as she zeroed in on his gaze, making him shiver, and started gasping in pain. The rain that had been pouring around them earlier seemed to have helped her stay wet, but now she was gasping for air and writhing around in panic. Dan didnt know what to do so he improvised and picked her up, carrying her to a nearby tidal pool. When she was in the water she instantly calmed and let herself sink to the bottom of the deep pool. (It wasn’t truly deep, just enough to cover her in water) Dan noticed at this point instead of ears she had fins in the same white color of her tail and scales. He nervously looked down and watched her relax just under the water. When she sat back up he smiled lightly. “uh hi.”
Suzy blinked curiously at the man as he tried to greet her. “Uh, hi.” He said smelling nervous and excited. She smiled revealing long rows of sharp teeth. He visibly paled but made no move to pull away. “Hi!” She trilled cooing lightly. This man was so cute, she reached out and touched his face feeling the hair there that mer didnt grow. She liked this feeling, after years of being away from humans she doesn’t regret coming to the surface, even if she was a tad lost. As her long fingers traced the mans lips and his neck she cooed again watching him shiver and turn pink under her touch. He smelt of confusion and shyness.
She liked that even more. “I’m Dan.” He says softly looking her over again. Suzy smiled and giggled leaning back into the water as her skin started to feel scratchy and dry once more. Dan watched her from above the pool curiously before she sat back up moving her tail again. “Dan?” She said, the word felt alien on her tongue but she smiled again none the less. “Susumi!” She said a bit loudly pointing at herself in excitement. Dan flinched before laughing nervously and smiling back at her. “Oh uh can I call you Suzy?” He asked slowly. She nodded and shook out her hair. Suzy remembered centuries ago when mer first met humans. Before they started stealing her people, before they started killing the sea. When humans feared the ancient mer as gods and monsters of the deep. Suzy blinked the thoughts away as she tried to recall their language. “Dan, kind?” She asked. Dan looked confused for a moment before his face lit up and he nodded in understanding. “Yes, I’m nice, I swear I won’t hurt you.” He said, rapidly growing more excited.
Dan watched the exotic girl trill with delight as he promised to be nice to her and blushed. “Can I call my friend over? He could help you get back to where you’re from.” Dan said slowly. She shook her head no vigorously and took a moment to re-wet herself down. “Stay, here Dan.” She said in broken English. “Of course I won’t leave you!” Dan said pulling out his phone to call Arin. “No! Su-zy… Stay.” She says gruffly splashing Dan agitatedly, a look of realization crosses Dan’s face as he wipes off his phone and nods calling Arin. “Do you want to stay on the beach?” Dan asks her confused. “Suzy stay… Dan.” She says frustratedly
splashing at Dan’s fingers. She doesn’t know how to portray her feelings with words so she grabs Dan by the face and pulls him down kissing him softly. “Suzy, stay, Dan.” Dan pulls back surprised and turns an even darker shade of red. Suzy laughs at how he gets flustered by such a casual show of affection. Soon Arin picks up and Dan gathers himself. “Danny what’s up? Wait, Why aren’t you at the hotel with the rest of us?! even Holly is here man its our last day in Hawaii!” Arin says over the phone. Suzy looks at the device in awe and starts trying to talk to it. “Dan! Dan, Suzy hi!” She says loudly. Dan laughs a little “Arin um, you’re not gonna belive me but I found a mermaid.” Dan says into the phone. Arin stays silent for a second. “You’re right I don’t believe you.”
Suzy listens to Dan talk to the box for a little while before soaking herself again, the air was slowly starting to hurt less and less as she was exposed to it, and she noticed she could actually breathe when the pain from drying out subsided. When she resurfaced Dan had put his box away and was reaching for her. “Dan, home.” She said reaching back for him. “Water.” She added as he picked her up. “Do you wanna come home with me?” He asked draping his wet shirt over the bottom of her tail, and wrapping her up in his rain soaked jacket making her coo in delight as his scent surrounded her. She nodded and clung to her friend taking in the scent of sweat and rain and something earthy and sweet. Suzy nuzzled into his neck and let him carry her away from the deserted beach. A large blue thingy rolled up to said beach as soon as they reached the parking lot. “Dan what are yo- holy fuck you weren’t kidding!” A man poked his head out of a window talking to Dan. Soon he was looking at Suzy wide eyed.
Arin gaped at the beautiful girl in Dan’s strong arms. “Man we need to get her into a tub or some shit ASAP.” Dan said laying her in the back. “Hi!” She said excitedly greeting Arin as he rolled his window up and Dan got in. “Dan’s friend!” She added pleased with herself. Arin nodded. “Yes, Dan’s friend.” He said starting the car and making their way back to the hotel the grumps were gathered at. As they arrived the cute fish girl started making high pitched
whining noises as she closed her eyes. “We’re gonna get you out of here Suzy.” Dan says reaching back for her. She takes his hand and trills opening her eyes.
As soon as they park Dan is out of the car and picking, Suzy up from the back. “Her name is Suzy?” Arin asks surprised as he follows Dan into the hotel. “Yes.” Dan said shortly before rushing Suzy in under the cover of Grey skies. Arin notified the rest of the team to meet in his room as Dan carried her to the room they shared. Arin opened the door quickly, not liking the noises of distress Suzy was still making. Dan beelined for the bathroom and set her down in the tub covering her in as much water as possible.
Suzy nearly moaned in relief as Dan wet her burning skin. “Dan, thank.” She gasped pulling away the shirt and jacket, throwing both on the floor. Arin watched in awe from the doorway at her almost entranced. Suzy smiled up at Dan again and pulled him down for another small kiss. He didn’t pull back this time, Dan smelled like happiness again, with only a linger of worry. She rubbed her face against his affectionately as he stuttered out a small. “No problem.”
She let him go before pointing to Dan’s friend happily. “Who?” She asked looking up at Dan. “Oh! Thats Arin.” Dan said smiling at his other friend sheepishly. “Arin cm’ here!” She said splashing the younger man lightly. Dan reached over and turned off the water as the tub was almost full of the cooling liquid and laughed lightly as Arin waked closer to Suzy cautiously but curious at the same time.
Suzy felt an uncanny wave of love sweep over her as she looked at Arin. It wasn’t the same friendly love she felt for Dan, it was much stronger and it made her neck and scalp tingle. “Holy shit your hair is changing dude!” Dan said surprised as he looked at Arin. Arin went wide eyed as he felt his head buzz and a whiteish-blond streak of hair flashed into existence beside his bangs. As soon as Arin was close enough Suzy pulled him down into the tub and kissed him as completely as she could pressing herself up against Arin happily. “Mate!” She trilled loudly kissing Arin’s face over and over again as the man sat in awe, now soaked in water. “Arin I think you just married a fish.” Dan said smiling.
