**********Also trigger warning for suicide. **********


The next morning you get up not wanting to. You know today is the day you will go see Lance. Unsure how you feel you head to the kitchen to get some food. "Morning Y/N," your mother said. "Morning Mum," you replied. "I am going to hang out with Shiro today so I will be late tonight," you tell her. "Okay, just make sure you saw down below we don't want another attack," she reminds you. "I know Mum," you replied. You swim to Shiro's house and knock on the door. His mother opens the door and invites you in.


She calls out to Shiro letting him know you are here. Shiro swims up to the door. "I didn't know you were coming over," Shrio explained. "I mean after the attack I want to spend as much time with family and friends as I can," you replied. Shiro took you to his room and you played games. It was fun. Shiro wasn't the type to let loose and have fun he was very logical. It was getting to about two and you knew you had to go. "Hey I need to run errands I should be back in about two to three hours," you explained. You thanked Shiro's mom for letting you stay. You snuck out of the town and swam to the surface.


You hide behind the rock waiting to see if he would show up. Lo and behold Lance appears from around the bend. You smile slightly as he approaches. Lance comes into the water and comes behind the rock with you. "I didn't expect you to be here Y/N," Lance said. "I always keep promises," you replied. "Well how many people did we kill," Lance asked quietly. "Fifteen so far but I think there have been more over the night," you replied. Lance looked sad as if he had anything to do about it. "Why were your people attacking," you asked. "Honestly I don't know being the prince you think I would know more," Lance continued. "You're a prince," you asked surprised. "Yes why," Lance asked. "You didn't look like a prince when I saved you from that ship," you responded.


"While that may be true, I am a prince," Lance added. You know the surface was not all bad. Sure, people have their flaws but so does your town. Lance looked at you and you looked up. Lance's eyes were such a bright blue almost as if the ocean was in his eyes. Lance leans down and kisses you. You pull him closer making him like you to the rock. Lance licked your bottom lip, and you opened your mouth in response. You were fully making out behind the rock. Well, that was until you heard a gasp. "Lance, what are you doing with this vial creature," a voice said. Lance jumped and turned his head to be greeted by a lady and two men standing behind her. "Mom it's not what it looks like," Lance protested.


"Then care or explain what it is," She asked. "Okay well maybe it is what it looks like, but please don't hurt him. He is the one who saved my life," Lance said. "These kinds do not save people, they lure people in with their song and kill people," the queen said. "I am not even a woman. I can't be a siren anyways," you said. "Guards take him," she commanded. "No," Lance said, grabbing you. He was not going to let go. "Lance sweetie let go of the evil merman and we will be okay," she said. "He isn't evil, he is my friend. You killed their kind, what do you have to say about that," Lance protested. "They got themselves killed mermaids do not belong on the surface," the queen replied.


The queen's guards got Lance off of you and took you into custody. They were taking you out of the water to bring you somewhere. "You take me out of this water, I die," you said. They looked at the queen and she sighed. "Okay I will go back and have them bring you a tank of water to put him into," the queen said. She dragged Lance off with her. Lance looked back and mouthed sorry. Lance even intended to hurt you like this. After what felt like forever someone finally came with a tank of water. The guards put you inside, it was very cramped. You were brought into the castle you saw. People were staring at you. You felt so uncomfortable being in this tank. They placed you down on the ground and you played a waiting game.


Soon a group of people walked in there was the queen, king, Lance and about five others. "King, we found this creature with our son," the queen said. "What were you doing with my son," the king asked sternly. "I was just talking to him," you said quietly. "Dad, I asked him to come back. If it wasn't for him I would be dead at the bottom of the ocean. He saved me after our ship flipped. Please don't hurt him," Lance pleaded. "Is this true," the king asked you. You nod slowly feeling lightheaded. This tank had water but it was hard. Your gills could not survive with this small amount of water. The oxygen in the water was running out. "Get this merman a bigger tank and put it in Lance's room. We will discuss with the court what to do with this merman," the king commanded. You smiled slightly and looked at Lance. He looked very happy.


The guards brought you to Lance's room and you waited there for a bigger tank. You fell asleep at the bottom of the tank. You wake up to feel something poke you in the side. You get up to see Lance waking you up. "The new tank is here Y/N," Lance said. You looked over to see a huge tank. "Let me put you in there," Lance said, picking you up out of your tank and moving you to the other tank. Lance puts you in and you swim all around so excited to be in the new tank. You pop out of the top to see Lance smiling at you. "Thank you," you said. "Thank you I almost got you killed and you are thanking me," Lance asked. "I am still alive aren't I," you asked. Lance smiled knowing the truth. The council plans on killing you. "Y/N the council plans to kill you," Lance blurted out. Your eyes widened by the news.


"What killed me," you asked. "They believe you are a danger to me, and they plan to kill you tomorrow," Lance said. "I will be dead by tomorrow morning," you said. "You're going to kill yourself," Lance asked. "What choice do I have," you ask. "Let me come with you," Lance said. "No Lance this is my decision you have so much to live for," you protested. "Not when the one I love is going to die," Lance added. You blushed at his statement. It was getting dark, and you were hoping Lance could not notice you trying to break the glass to let the water leak out. "Y/N you keep trying to break that glass I will come in there myself and drown," Lance said from his bed. "Please just let me," you plead. "Y/N I will come in that tank," Lance added. "Do it then," you said without thinking.


Lance sets his book on the nightstand and heads over to your tank. He takes his shoes off and his shirt. He climbs up the stairs and puts his feet in sitting on the side of the tank. You come up and look at him. He pulls you up and kisses you. You kiss him back, pulling him into the water. He pushes you up against the glass wall still kissing you. Lance breaks apart to breathe. You rise with him. "Please let me come with you," Lance asked quietly. "I can't let you," you replied. "We die together, we can be together," Lance added. "How do you plan on doing that," you ask. "I have a dagger," Lance said. "Okay I will let you take me out of the water," you replied.


Lance gets out of the water and gets his dagger from his coat. He places the dagger on the ground and comes back and takes you out of the water. Lance sets you down on the ground next to the dagger. "How long will it take for you to dry up," Lance asked. "I don't know. Maybe a couple of minutes," you replied. You already felt so weak. You laid your head on Lance's shoulder feeling weak. Lance takes the dagger and stabs himself in the side. Lance falls over and you soon follow. Lance turns his head to meet you. "I love you Y/N I will see you in the afterlife," Lance said with his last breath. "I love you too," as you close your eyes and die.


In the scene at hand Lance had a dagger stabbed into him and he pulled it out so he would bleed to death. Your scales were flaking off and your skin started to turn blue. In an act of true love you were both dead on the floor by the morning sun.
