Submerged (Mermaid Harry Styles fanfic)

eleven

I couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my face. Donafin always needed a good hit to the face. The girls all looked shocked to say the least. To them this was just usual Donafin behavior.

To think Harry hit him just for me made the little fishies in my stomach start swimming around again. He was my hero.

“Mother of pearl! Why did you do that, Harry?!” Gasped Mafisha.

Harry just shrugged like it was not a big deal. He smirked after. When our eyes met each other I gave him an appreciative smile. He smiled back.

“Oh my god Donafin come with us we can fix you up,” exclaimed Mishell guiding him back towards our sand castle. I guess they weren’t coming with us. I wasn’t that disappointed.

Donafin glared at Harry and I while holding onto my two sisters backs. I watched as they swam away. His hands were inching further and further down their back to the beginnings of their tails. I mentally gagged myself with a piece of seaweed.

“Thank you, Harry,” I smiled up to him.

“No problem.”

We stared at each other. My dark sand colored orbs against his seaweed green. It felt like forever.  A good kind of forever.

“Once you two stop having eye sex can we go?” Arabella interrupted. My cheeks flared a bright red and so did Harry’s.

I hit her playfully with my tail.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

We swam around the village talking and messing around with each other. I was really enjoying having Harry here. He made me feel happy which was hard to feel. I didn’t even want to think about him leaving once he healed. I was hoping that day would never come.

Harry nudges me with his tail, and I playfully nudge him back but a little harder. He raised his eyebrows at me. I raised mine back. He nudged me again. I nudged him back even harder. He did it again. And I wasn’t putting up with carp like this so I nudged him super hard, sending him flying sideways. Barnicles I didn’t mean to do it that hard. Harry swam back chuckling.

“You do it hard don’t you?”

My eyes probably popped out to the size of a blowfishes, then I quickly realized what he was talking about. Causing a blush to come to my already rosy cheeks. I laughed it off.

“Once you guys stop flirting, we should probably head back to your’s, Waverly,” Arabella rudely interrupted again.

++++++++++++++++++++++

“Do you think Donafin is still here?” I  whispered to Arabella.

“I don’t know we have to see.”

I peeked my head around the corner and swam up to Mishell’s door. I pressed my ear against the door.

“What are you d-“ I cut Harry off by placing my tail on his face. He slapped it away while laughing and smiling at me.

I heard voices coming through the door. I quickly opened the door and there lay Mishell and Donafin doing what Donafin does best. Screwing my sisters. First Mafisha now Mishell.

They quickly separated from each other.

“Waverly it’s not what it looks like!” Donafin pleaded.

I was too stunned to answer.

Mishell reached out to me and I back away. I didn’t want her sea algae on me. I just shook my head and swam away faster than a lobster being caught in a net for humans to eat.

I heard Donafin calling my name, but I just kept swimming. I didn’t need this.

I slammed my door and then realized Harry and Arabella were with me. I cracked my door and they swam in.

Arabella swam over to me, “Aw Waverly you don’t deserve this.”

“Shut up.”

She looked taken aback by my reply. “I know I don’t deserve it. Stop saying that.”

“Then what do I say?”

“Nofin.”

Her face held a sour expression like she just inhaled a plankton. It was silent in the room for what seemed like ten years. Harry stood in the corner fiddling with his hands, and smoothing his scales up and then down.

“I’m going to go home, Waverly. You’re being a beach.” Arabella snapped.

I just rolled my eyes as she swam to the door and slammed it closed, leaving Harry and I alone. Again.

It was awkwardly silent. I watched Harry fiddle with his thumbs and pick at his nail beds. He noticed me staring and said, “I don’t know what to do with my hands.”

I let out a chuckle. He smiled up at me and that was when I really noticed the dimples in his cheeks. He was truly beautiful with his curls cascading through the blue waters and his green eyes resembling the most beautiful seaweed in the ocean.

I wondered how I got to be with this human. He seemed different. I had never been in contact with another human before but I did study their behaviors from afar. He seemed more compassionate. More gentle. More everything. The questions started coming into my head. Why was he searching for me? Why did he kiss me? Why did he hit Donafin for me? I wanted to know.

“Harry, why did you hit Donafin?”

He seemed to think about it, “He was being a jerk to you. You shouldn’t be treated that way.”

“You saw him with Mishell right?”

He nodded.

“He was with Mafisha like that and that’s how we broke up. I heard he’s the one who gave Clamilla clamydia too.”

Harry just looked at me.

“I mean I don’t know why he did that with so many mermaids. He did it while we were still together too. That’s what bothers me. Was I not good enough? Am I not pretty enough for him? He cheated on me with my own sister. I know she’s a whole lot prettier than me. She gets all the merman. Everybody likes her better than me. She’s Mafisha the pretty one. The smart one. The one with the great body and personality. Then there’s me. Waverly. The slightly less attractive sister. The trouble maker. The burden to my father.”

I stop talking to see Harry looking at me with such a sympathetic look. That’s the last thing I want.

“I-I’m sorry you didn’t need to hear that.”

“Shut up, Waverly.”

I was shocked at first then he swam close. I looked up into his eyes as he looked into mine. We hovered there our tails flipping and brushing each other. I could see Harry’s air bubbles every time he let out a breath.

“Kiss me,” Harry whispered.
