Cuphead x Abused Siren Reader

(Requested by; TwistedFoxBerry

Thank you for the request!)

-i know little to nothing about sirens- so if I get any information wrong be sure to tell me.
I'm going off of what I found from Greek Mythology.
-warning for mentions of physical and emotional abuse.
-the reader will go by they/them pronouns as they weren't specified in the request, if you wish to change them please let me know person who requested ^^
-(y/n)'s lower half will be fish-like as that is what I can mostly find about sirens- however I will also add mention to the sirens who are more bird-like.
-instead of gills or scales the reader can have feathers- not covering their whole body, but on places like their arms, shoulders and neck.

Enjoy :)

A small groan escapes from Cuphead's throat as he feels his body slowly begin to gain consciousness, eyes blinking open and meeting with the blinding brightness from the sun.

He felt gentle waves brushing against his chest, legs completely submerged.

His fingers trace through the ground he was laying on, feeling wet sand, recoiling at the feel and wiping his hands on his shirt as he quickly sits up.

Too quickly.

He groans as a sudden wave of dizziness overwhelms him, clutching the side of his head and tightly closing his eyes, muttering curses under his breath.
He blinks his eyes open, glancing around at his surroundings.

He was on a small beach surrounded by a sharp, rocky terrain. Grey clouds built up further down the island, but, where he was situated, the scorching sun beamed down on him.

He let's out a small sigh, rubbing his temples.
"Okay...how did I get here?".

A moment of thought goes by, and Cuphead's eyes widen with the realization that he couldn't remember a thing.

"Shit...".

He quickly jolts up, stumbling and face planting on the sand before he managed to stand properly, legs shaky.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit!".

He looks around, heart beating wildly in panic, "fuuuck!".

His voice echoed throughout the empty island, solidifying that he was alone. This information pierced through his heart, his stomach churning in fear.
He was alone, with no recollection of how he even get there, and no idea where his brother or even his friends were. He didn't even know if they knew where he was.

He lets out a loud sigh, closing his eyes.
"Calm down, Cuphead...maybe they're somewhere else on this island? Yeah. That's it. You just gotta find them".

Cuphead turns his attention to the darker side of the island, palms sweaty as his nerves picked up.
"Just...wander into the depths of this island you've never been on before, with no knowledge on what you'll find, or if you'll get out alive. Yeah. That sure sounds safe".

He pauses, pinching the bridge of his nose as a groan escapes him.
"And I'm talking to myself. Great. Just great".

Nevertheless, he begins advancing forward towards the darkness, lighting his fingertip with the blazing blue of his finger gun ability, giving the darkness a battle to the sudden lighting.

His red eyes cautiously glanced around, shivering from the cold, flinching at any sounds he heard. Even the sounds he himself made.

As he ventures on, he comes to a sudden halt by the sound of a sweet and heavenly voice muttering a song.
The voice was enticing and drew Cuphead in. So he didn't fight his body as it absentmindedly began to wander towards the source of the melody.
