Merperson reader and Viridis!!!! Reader waking up surrounded by pretty treasure that he's found! 🥺
Hi Anon! Hi Space Rabbit! I’ve decided to combine your requests, hope that’s okay! I don’t know when in Viridis’ story this takes place, so just imagine this as a filler episode of sorts! Thanks for requesting this, here you go!
Y/N stirred to the feeling of something being arranged next to her. She blinked slowly, sitting up.
“Good morning, darling!” Viridis said cheerfully, setting a large conch shell down by her ear, “did you sleep well? Hm?”
Y/N sat up, rubbing her eyes. Something glistened beneath her, and she screwed her eyes shut against the brightness.
“What’s going on?” she yawned.
“Well, I just thought I would reorganize some things,” Viridis said, adding more shells all around her, “my various collections; my shells, my bottles, my whatchamacallits- you know, my treasures!”
Y/N squinted through the sparkles and saw that Viridis had laid her in a pile of gold coins, along with pearls, beautiful shells, shiny trinkets, and fancy silks, dresses, and cushions. It looked like something between a dragon’s hoard and a pirate’s stash. She saw that Viridis had wrapped long necklaces around her tail as though they were sashes or belts. Bejeweled pendants had been draped around her neck, and she was currently wearing a tiara. Rings had been placed on all of her fingers depending on their size, and a few bracelets had been slipped onto her wrists. Y/N felt like she had fallen into a jewelry box.
She nearly jumped when she turned to see Viridis staring at her with some kind of lovesick smile, his chin resting in his hands while his elbows were propped up against the mound of treasure.
“You look so pretty,” he sighed.
Y/N sighed too, though not for the same reason.
“Can I come down now?” she asked.
“What? No, of course not!” Viridis said, “you’re my favorite treasure, you have to stay on the very top!”
“If it’s not comfortable we can add more pillows,” Viridis said, grabbing some, “and I plan to bring you your meals up there. And your routine splashing, of course~”
Of course, how could Y/N forget. Viridis liked her human form well enough, but her mermaid form was much more sparkly. If she wasn’t being kept in the tide pool, then Viridis would often spritz her with water from an old perfume bottle or dump a large shell of it over her head. She couldn’t remember the last time he had let her fully dry off.
Viridis hummed away, setting pillows under her form and all around her. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and flashed a fanged grin.
“There, much better, yes?”
“Wonderful! You stay right there, I’m going to get more shells.”
Viridis slithered off, leaving Y/N on top of the treasure pile to sulk.
