Title: Different Kind of Human.
Time: Evening
Setting: Somewhere in Arlong Park.

You stared, sitting next to a certain Octopus-Man as he was doing his weird movements.

"Oi." You murmured, gaining his attention.

"Yes?" He asked, staring over at you.

"Please, would you take me to Arlong?" You asked, looking to the sides "He requested me yesterday, and if i don't come today, I'm certainly going to get smacked around." You murmured.

He barely caught what you said, and nodded, "Yes! Yes! You can count on me human!"

"You know you can call me N/n, Hachan." You mumbled.

He just laughed, "I know N/n." He got in the water, and let you climb in the barrel.

"I've been taking swimming lessons, and I'm pretty fast, but not ever as fast as you, Hachan." You lightly laughed, earning a happy expression from the octopus.

"You flatter me alot, N/n." He grinned, "Good luck with Arlong though, he'll be easy on you!"

"I don't know, it's the third time i missed a meeting.." you whispered.

He just nodded, "We all really appreciate you N/n, they're is nothing to be afraid of!" He laughed, and dropped you off.

"Bye bye Hachan." You smiled softly, and pressed a kiss to his forehead, watching him speed off with a flushed expression.

Slowly standing, you made your way inside. You weren't with arlong yesterday because you were finding a beautiful conch shell. One intact anyways.

You decorated it with gold, swirly designs.

You wanted to show Arlong how much you appreciated him.

Humming, you clenched your bag, full of anxiety.

Approaching Kuroobi, you smiled nervously.

"He's not too happy." He said, and shook his head, Chuu nodding in agreement.

"Ah yes, that makes me feel so much better." You laughed softly, and sighed.

"Hes probably just worried." Chuu murmured, and patted your head, earning a soft huff, almost inaudible.

"Shush, Chu-chu." You whispered, and began walking. Arlong was in his chair, sighing when you walked Infront of him.

"So, you're actually here this time?" He asked, leaning forward.

"Yes, Arlong." You bowed, your whisper being heard by the Fishman.

"Why weren't you here yesterday?" He inquired, leaning closer, clearly angry.

"Uh- well- i- i..was.." you were trying to find words.

"I was doing something more important." You mumbled. Oh shit, oh fuck, ohhhhhh shIT.

Arlong's eye twitched slightly, "So, I'm less important?"

"Uhm..sir..." You began fishing around in your bag, gently taking out the wrapped conch, then held it out to him, your head held down at you flushed.

"T-this is for you!" You exclaimed, letting your voice be heard, shocking the three Fishmen surrounding. (Kuroobi Chuu, and Arlong)

Arlong softly took it from your hands, and unwrapped it, smiling at the hand-painted conch.

"W-Well, gold means illumination, love, compassion, courage, passion, magic, and wisdom, s-so i wanted to give it to you. I spent all day finding it, and it was really deep!" You said the last sentence with a soft exclamation.

Smiling, Arlong stood, and made his way over to you, pulling you into a soft hug.

You hugged him back, wrapping your arms around his waist, as you could only reach there.

Giving Arlong a grin, you pulled away.

He ruffled your short hair, and put the conch right next to his throne, showing just how important the conch was to him.

"I was going to ask if you'd like to swim with me." He asked, knowing of your abilities.

You may seem human, but you were a Mermaid, suprisingly.

Arlong didn't know that yet though.

"Oh, I'm fine, actually." You whispered, and stepped back.

"Why? You swim with Hachan all the time." He growled, "Actually, Hachan swims, i ride in the pot... I've only swam with Kuroobi..actually." you murmured, while Kuroobi nodded.

"It was an interesting experience." He laughed, gazing at your legs.

You let out a small giggle, "your reaction was funny." You murmured, covering your mouth to quiet yourself even more.

Getting irritated, Arlong shook his head, "Get in a swim-"

He didn't finish, you stripped off your shirt, and just jumped into the water.

That was an eyeful of bra.

Chuckling, Arlong jumped in, and simply followed, almost immeadietly stopping when he saw your tail.

It was- beautiful.

The minty-blue scales shine as you swam, glancing back at Arlong with a happy smile.

He wrapped his arms around you, and pressed a soft kiss to your forehead.

"You're adorable." He laughed.

"And you're handsome."
