Brendon's POV
• ❀ • ❀ • ❀ • ❀ •

I felt Dallon's arms tighten around me, and I imagined it was to make sure we didn't stray far from each other. I didn't mind though, cause I could easily keep us both up with the help of my tail.

I notice that something catches Dallon's attention, and I cock my head, unsure of what had so suddenly distracted him.

When I turn my head, my eyes widen, but I immediately recognize what, and even who, it was.

I kissed Dallon again quickly, knowing he would need oxygen, before I pushed him up to a place in the water where he could easily reach the top if he needed to get air, yet I made sure he was still close to me, so he could grab onto me. I then focus my attention back on the thing that has moved closer.

I keep myself in front of Dallon, in case it's not who I think it is, but thankfully it is. I smile widely and I giggle, the muffled noise making little bubbles rise up beside my face.

"A-Atlas!" I giggle out, and suddenly I'm tackled into a hug, something that makes me sink down a little, but I didn't mind.

Atlas was one of my merman friends who lived pretty close to where I did. He has an electric blue tail, and eyes that almost match. His hair was fluffy and about the color of mine, and he was one of the better looking mermen that I knew.

"Brendon!" He says, laughing, and he finally lets go of me, pulling away to actually look at me.

"How've you been?! It seems like it's been forever since I saw you! You were here one day and gone the next!" Atlas says, and he swims around me, his tail almost blending in with the water.

I giggle a lot as I watch him, and I have to keep turning my body to be able to face him.

"I've b-been go-good! And g-guess what!" I say, and I see Atlas cock his head as he looks at me, suddenly stopping in the water and swimming in place like I was.

"What is it? C'mon, you gotta tell me!" He says, and he swims upside down, something that makes me giggle even more.

"I got a b-boyfriend!" I say, and I see Atlas stop for a second, most likely to take in what I had just said.

"Excuse me what? You got a boyfriend? Who?! Is he a merman?! Which one?!" Atlas suddenly exclaims, and he floods me with questions.

"Ch-Chill Atlas! And h-he's not a m-merman.. he's ac-actually right there!" I say, and I point to Dallon who has found himself some rocks to sit on that were above water so he could breathe.

Atlas pauses, and he frowns slightly.

"A human? Bee, you know how dangerous they are!" He says, and he swims up and grips my shoulders, shaking me a bit as he tries to get his point across. He then gasps as he sees my neck and chest, most likely seeing the marks.

"Did he do that to you?!" Atlas almost yells, and I shove him a little, rolling my eyes a bit.

"At-Atlas it's f-fine! I'm fi-fine! He's not d-dangerous! He ma-makes me re-really happy! St-Stop freaking out!" I say, and I grab his shoulders.

Atlas was a lot bigger than me, and a lot stronger too. He was very protective of me, and he was one of the only mermen that paid any attention to me at all. Really, he was always the only one that paid me any attention and he actually tried to be my friend.

"You realize how mad Kai would be right?" Atlas says, and I nod a little.

Kai was one other merman that I knew, and like Atlas, he was also very protective over me. He had a bright purple colored tail, and his hair was a light brown color. He was also a lot bigger than me, but I still didn't care.
