Merman In The Water - Larry Stylinson AU Merman!Louis

Chapter 19

[S/N] Hey guys! We're home for the holidays! Yaaaay! I have finally managed to escape my cousin who absolutely will not leave me alone. ANYWAY. ON WITH THE CHAPTER.
[E/N]: I logged on to find that there was a draft. I got super pumped, I was like YEAH SOPHIE'S GOT SOME OF THIS WRITTEN ALREADY. *Just an authors notes* *sobs quietly*
[S/N2]: I'M SO SORRY. D:
[E/N2]: PUNKASSBITCH. You edited though, so I guess that counts for something.

Harry covered his eyes but peeked out between his fingers. Louis was panting slightly beside him, and Anne and Gemma were blinking confusedly before Anne turned her head to the side, "Did he say... Louis, did you say you're a merprince?"

"Yes," Louis sighed. "A merperson, merman... whatever you'd like to call it."

"Harry?" Anne questioned.

"He's not kidding," Harry shrugged sheepishly. "When he's in the water, specifically ocean water, he loses his legs. And a tail grows in place. He said merprince because he is literally the prince of all the oceans? His father is the king. He's royalty."

Gemma pursed her lips, "You two are just alike. You're both weird."

"Gem," Anne hushed gently, touching her daughters shoulder as Gemma grinned.

"We're not lying though!" Harry insisted. "We'd... show you? But we don't have any ocean water here."

"Wait!" Louis exclaimed. "Is there any damp clothes that you guys swam in? They might work. If you get them a little more moist. It's not straight ocean water, but it'll have the natural salt. Maybe that's what does it."

"You'll have to, um..." Harry waved a hand before looking back to the laptop camera. "We're going to try this. But Louis has to step out of sight of the camera to take his pants off."

"What?" Anne's eyebrows shot up.

"Well his tail would rip them," Harry explained, looking to Louis. "Let's seriously hope this works. If it doesn't work... well, my mum and sisters have just been informed that you're getting naked from the waist down.

Louis smiled fondly, kissing Harry's cheek, "Us merpeople aren't really bothered with stuff like that. We've all got parts that we generally hide, if they have to be exposed... they're exposed and we move on with things."

"We aren't exposing anything," Harry corrected. "Maybe sit on Niall's bed and I'll move the laptop once your tail comes in."

"Hey!" Gemma exclaimed from the laptop. "Hazhead. We're still here!"

Harry nodded, smiling apologetically at his mum and sister before calling out, "Liam, Zayn? Or Niall. Anyone?"

Harry peeked up at Louis to find him struggling with his pants, and he quickly stepped out of the camera sight to help his adorable boyfriend. He of course didn't tell his mother and sister that he was helping Louis take his pants off, but Louis gave me him a grateful smile and a soft kiss, and Harry couldn't care less that Louis was bottomless.

Liam poked his head through the door, "Harry did you- oh. Hi Anne, hi Gemma!"

"Hello, Liam," Anne chuckled.

"And... Louis is pantsless," Liam pursed his lips. "Harry what are you... what are you doing?"

Harry scurried back over in front of the camera, smiling innocently at his family, and then looked to Liam, "There should be damp clothes that I have yet to wash draped over the shower frame? Will you grab me a shirt but kind of get it wet in the sink again?"

"What are you doing?" Liam frowned.

"Showing my mum and Gem Louis' tail," Harry explained, and at Liam's look of alarm, Harry shrugged. "Louis told them, they're just having a hard time believing it. So... we're going to try and show them. We need ocean water to make Louis' tail come back."

Liam still looked confused, but he reluctantly went to retrieve the shirt of Harry's. Harry turned back to face his mum and sister, and Gemma raised her eyebrows, "So... Louis is sitting like... naked? Off camera?"

"He's on Niall's bed," Harry nodded. "Say hello, Louis."

"Hello!" Louis called. "How does that thing... work?"

"What thing, love?" Harry asked.

"The thing you're talking on."

"Oh the computer," Harry replied, glancing at the screen to find Gemma looking amused and Anne looking confused. "Right, I didn't even consider that you wouldn't know how it worked. You seemed to manage pretty well, though."

"Well we have things like it underwater. In empty clamshells. They take ages to start up though, and if you want to talk to someone over them it takes hours for the message to go through."

"What on earth are you two talking about?" Anne asked, shaking her head in confusion.

"Louis' technology," Harry responded.

Liam entered the room again, a wet t-shirt in his hand as he pointed questioningly to Louis, "So I just... get his legs wet?"

"Any part of him," Harry nodded, craning his neck over the laptop to watch as Louis nonchalantly covered himself so Liam would stop grimacing. Liam twisted the shirt to wring it out, watching as the water splashed onto Louis' leg.

Louis crowed gleefully as the spot turned blue, and then his legs were forming together as the blue spread, and his tail was back in a matter of seconds. Harry grinned nervously, picking up the laptop as Gemma's eyebrows lifted, "So how are you doing this prank, what's happening?"

"It's real Gem, I swear," Harry said softly as Liam helped Louis into a better sitting position, and Harry sat down next to him so that Louis' face once was again on the screen. "Up top, normal looking Louis, yes? Handsome, lovely-"

"Harry!" Gemma laughed, and Anne simply smiled adoringly. "Get to the point, Louis' cute, we get it."

Louis blushed, and Harry kissed his cheek before wiggling off the bed again so that he could turn the laptop so all of Louis could be seen. He heard slight gasps, and Louis waved sheepishly, "Um... it's probably a bit much? And Harry freaked out when he saw it the first time, too, but... if it makes you feel any better legs were a bizarre thing for me. Or... I guess legs on someone who looks like me from the waist up. Because otters and stuff have them, and we just call them walkers but-"

"Can we see it closer?" Anne asked softly, interrupting Louis' nervous spiel.

Harry moved the laptop closer, reaching a hand out as well to gently touch Louis' tail, "It feels kind of like a fish. But not slimy? So maybe like a wet snake. But it's pretty, huh?"

"How do we know it's real?" Gemma asked skeptically.

"Well here in about five minutes it's going to dry and he's going to be naked again," Harry replied. "Would you like to witness that?"

Liam laughed, stepping in to interrupt, "Why don't you aim it at his feet? Er... tail, flipper, whatever the end thing is called. It'll turn into his feet and they can watch that."

Harry looked to Louis, earning himself a smile, and asked Louis softly, "You don't mind this, do you? Us examining your tail?"

"Nah," Louis shrugged. "I don't mind at all! As long as they believe you. I don't want you having to hide secrets because of me."

Anne gushed out in an adoring voice, "Well you are probably the sweetest! I like him Harry, he's a keeper."

"I know mum, I know," Harry grinned, winking at Louis. "I like him, too."

Louis blushed once more, but then reached down and lightly touched his tail, "It's basically dry, Liam really didn't put that much water on me."

Harry nodded, talking to Anne and Gemma, "I'm going to position the laptop camera at Louis' tail so you can see his feet and ankles... but that's all you'll see, promise."

Anne and Gemma looked hesitant, but they nodded. Harry held the laptop facing Louis' feet, and Liam peeked around it to look at the screen, "Just the end of the tail is all you can see right? We're trying to play it safe here. We don't want to expose you to anything else."

Gemma chuckled, "Just the end of the tail. If I see any private bits I'm flying there and straightening Harry's hair."

"No!" Harry protested. "Not again!"

Liam laughed, "That was an interesting sight."

"That's what he got for eating my sweets," Gemma shrugged.

"I said sorry and I felt really bad about it," Harry pouted. "I'm still scarred from the hair straightening experience."

"I think you'd look a bit strange with straight hair," Louis murmured. "When it gets wet and hangs there limply you look a bit like you've been drowned. No offense, love."

Harry sighed, but then he heard Gemma and Anne gasp. He looked to Louis' tail to find the blue fading to a tanned skin color, and he grinned as Louis' tail separated into feet and legs. Louis curled his toes happily, shaking his feet from side to side.

"That..." Anne said slowly. "You're really a mermaid."

"Merman!" Harry corrected quickly. "He's a man. And he's a prince."

Harry slipped in front of the laptop and backed away slowly so Liam could help Louis with his pants again. Niall and Zayn came bursting into the room before Harry's stunned looking mother and sister could respond, and Niall crowed, "We're going to the- Louis, why don't you have pants on?"

"Liam, why are you touching Louis when he hasn't got any pants on?" Zayn asked.

Harry laughed, "We were, uh... showing my mum and Gemma that Louis actually does a tail. They know now."

"My tail is better," Niall declared.

"He's one too?" my mother gasped.

"Both Louis and Niall, yes," Harry nodded.

Gemma nodded slowly, "This is the craziest stuff I've ever seen in my life. Is he coming back with you Haz? When you come back in the fall?"

Harry jolted slightly, because he hadn't even thought about that. He'd have to go leave Florida eventually, and Florida was where Louis lived. But then he remembered that Louis had family over by the UK as well, and Harry would be more than happy to drive to a beach so he could see Louis.

"Um..." Harry nodded slowly. "Maybe. His kind doesn't exactly... know humans exist? Other than his father, that is. And his father doesn't approve of humans. Louis told him he was going to the gulf when he's actually staying up on land for a week. We don't know how we could tell his father. Or if we should tell his father."

Anne frowned disapprovingly, "You can't keep things from Louis' family."

Louis, who finally got his pants back on, came stumbling back over to Harry so he could slip in front of the camera, "Um... Anne?"

"Yes, love?"

"Since my father is kind of in control of all the oceans, I'm afraid of what he would do if he found out. More than likely he'd forbid me from going on land, but he also might get so angry that he sends a storm. I don't want him doing that. I won't let him harm Harry though, I can promise you that," Louis said determinedly. "I won't let anything harm Harry."

Liam came over to stand with Zayn and Niall, and all three of them tried to crowd up behind Louis and Harry to see Gemma and Anne as Liam spoke up, "Louis saved Harry's life. And he's teaching him to swim."

Anne's eyes widened, and Gemma leaned closer to the camera, "How'd you save his life?"

"I almost drowned, alright?" Harry huffed. "I tried to go swimming in a deep spot alone and I got to far from the rocks. Louis found me and swam me back to shore because his tail is super powerful, and I'm alright so don't worry about it."

"Thank you, Louis," Anne smiled softly. "I haven't even met you in person, but you've got my trust. You seem like a very nice boy. However... how old are you?"

"Twenty..." Louis said slowly. "I turn twenty-one in seven full- December, I bet you call it? That's sometimes what it's called outside the royal family."

"December is right," Harry agreed, turning and pressing his nose fondly to Louis' cheek.

"Hey, mine's in December too!" Gemma grinned. "December 3rd. I'll be twenty-two, so I'm older than you."

"Ignore Gemma, she takes pride in being older," Harry murmured to Louis.

"We're going to the beach to find sand crabs," Niall announced suddenly, and Harry glanced back at his friends. He'd nearly forgotten that they were there.

However, he nodded slowly, "Alright... um... Louis and I might just chill here?"

"Fine," Niall shrugged. "Be lazy, I don't care. You'll still take me though, right Zayn? Liam, too?"

"Sure," Zayn laughed. "Is that alright, love?"

Liam nodded fondly, wrapping an arm around Zayn's waist and kissing his cheek, "Yeah, we can go to the beach for a bit."

Niall crowed gleefully, moving to the doorway so fast he tripped over his own feet, "Come on then, let's go now! Come on, come on, come on-"

Liam and Zayn said farewell to Gemma and Anne before Niall practically dragged them from the house, and Harry glanced at Louis to find he was shaking his head at Niall, "I don't know why I brought that little trench demon."

Harry simply giggled at the look of disapproval on Louis' face, forgetting they were still Skyping for a few moments as he leaned towards Louis and kissed him softly, nuzzling their noses together. Louis smiled, blushing a bit as he leaned in towards Harry, resting his head on Harry's shoulder as he reached to grab Harry's hand in his own.

From the laptop, Gemma cleared her throat, "Uh, yeah... lovebirds? We're gonna go I think. Some friends of mine are wanting me to go out with them."

Anne chuckled, "And I've got a book and a blanket calling my name. It was good seeing your face, sweetie. We'll have to Skype again soon these next few days. Make sure Paul keeps giving me updates on you, though! I like to know that you're doing well, even if you are eighteen. You're still my baby boy."

Harry blushed, glancing to Louis to see if the merprince was going to give him a ribbing. Louis simply smiled, and Harry nodded "I know, I know... I'll keep in touch."

"Later, H," Gemma grinned. "Glad you found someone to love someone like you..."

"Gem," Harry groaned. "Can't you be nice to me? I'm your baby brother!"

"You know I love you," she rolled her eyes. "Nice to meet you, Lou. Remember my threat!"

Louis nodded, "I won't ever hurt him."

Anne smiled, "Nice to meet you, Louis. Harry, be good! I love you."

"Love you, too, mum. Love you, Gem. Talk to you guys soon!"

Harry and Louis waved one last time before Harry ended the call. Paul's wallpaper was of a large fish, and Louis tapped it, "Pompano!"

"Um..." Harry giggled. "Come again?"

"That's the type of fish," Louis explained. "Or what we call them at least. I assume we have the same name types..."

"Oh," Harry said slowly, shutting the laptop. He grinned at Louis, leaning and seizing Louis' face with his hands to kiss the boy sloppily.

Louis' mouth fell open a bit as Harry smugly pulled back, "That..."

"I couldn't do that while we were Skyping with my mum and sister, and so I really, really wanted to. So I did. Just now."

"Yes, I remember," Louis nodded slowly. "You should do it again."

Harry nodded, "I should put Paul's laptop up before I forget, though."

Harry left Louis sitting on the bed as he deposited Paul's laptop back into his uncle's room. His heart was still pounding and his lips tingled from the sloppy kiss he'd given Louis, and when he returned back to the room, he shut the door and all but tackled Louis onto the bed as he peppered Louis' face with kisses.

The smaller boy gave a startled yelp beneath Harry, but giggled as he shied away from Harry's persistent lips. Harry slotted himself between Louis' legs, a pout forming on his face as he propped himself up on his elbows. Louis grinned, lightly poking his nose, "Why is my human frowning?"

"My merprince won't kiss me," Harry sighed dramatically.

Louis cupped Harry's cheek with a fond smile, craning his head up to brush their lips together. Harry gave a hum of appreciation, cupping Louis' face as well and stroking at his fringe as they kissed slowly and lovingly. Louis giggled against Harry's mouth, pulling back a bit, "And we can kiss for as long as we want. Niall's at the beach."

"Everyone's gone from the house," Harry grinned larger. "Paul is in the shop and Zayn and Liam are with Niall. So we really can kiss as long as we want. Or... until they come back, rather."

Louis pressed their lips back together happily, moving his hands from Harry's cheeks to Harry's hair so he could run his fingers through the curls. However, his fingers snagged in the curls at the base of Harry's neck, tugging a bit and making Harry go pliant on top of him as he moaned into Louis' mouth, "Ugh..."

"Oh," Louis squeaked, pulling back in surprise. "Um..."

Harry blinked at Louis for a moment, but then he was pushing his lips against Louis fervently, tangling his own long fingers into Louis' feathery hair. Louis gasped against Harry, and Harry slipped his tongue out to taste Louis. He tasted a bit like what they'd eaten for breakfast, but Harry simply deepened the kiss. Louis pulled back slightly, gasping for air as Harry panted out as well, "I- is this alright?"

Louis swallowed hard, tugging Harry back down and forcing their lips together for the third time. As Harry shifted so he could kiss the merprince better, he accidentally grazed Louis' crotch with his thigh. Louis sucked in a sharp breath as he instantly began to grow hard against Harry's thigh. He'd never gotten a boner with a human lower half before, and while the thick skin of his tail usually hid it, he knew the cloth material of the flimsy human clothes wouldn't hide anything. It also didn't help that Harry was pressed directly against him.

He was silently begging Harry not to notice as he tried to nonchalantly pull back from the kissing, but Harry was still kissing Louis just as eagerly. However, when the boy shifted again, pressing down harder on Louis, and then Harry froze, "Oh.... you're... oh."

"I... was hoping you wouldn't notice," Louis squeaked, but then he let his head slump back against the bed with a groan. "It just kind of happened. Stupid human clothes! Why are these dicks just out in the open, why aren't they tucked under another layer of skin and stuff?!"

"That's what clothes are for..." Harry murmured, but he still looked a bit shocked. "Did I make that happen? I made you get hard?"

"Well I really liked kissing you," Louis admitted. "And you were wiggling like an eel or something and it kind of... I guess my body liked it."

"That's really hot..." Harry mumbled, pressing his forehead to Louis', and then he pushed their lips back together.

Louis felt relief flood through him. If Harry didn't completely think he was disgusting, then maybe boners with his new lower half weren't bad. Aside from the fact that he was then aware of every brush of Harry's skin against his own. And then, Harry was suddenly pushing down into Louis, a hardness of his own brushing Louis' leg. He'd made Harry hard as well.

"Wait, wait!" Louis gasped. "What... what are we doing?"

"Not sure yet," Harry panted. "Is it... are you alright? With this?"

"I..." Louis thought for a moment. "Yeah. Keep going."

Harry nodded, pressing their lips together once more as he began to push his lips into Louis' with a bit more first. A groan escaped Louis' lips entirely on it's own accord, and he felt the need to have Harry as close as possible. He squirmed a bit, struggling to wrap his legs around Harry. He figured if starfish could do it then he could. And once he had managed to wrap his arms and legs around Harry, the feeling of Harry rubbing against him intensified. There was still clothing articles between them, but Louis moaned into Harry's mouth.

Harry gave a whimper of his own, moving his hips faster and tugging lightly at Louis' hair as he rutted down against the smaller boy. Louis found himself rocking his hips up to the best of his ability, savoring the bursts of pleasure he would feel when his hardened dick would press into Harry's. Their kissing quickly became sloppy, with less lips brushing and more panting into one another's mouth. Louis had to pull away to gasp for air, feeling his eyes clench in pleasure as his head fell back against the pillows. Harry ducked forward, attaching his lips to Louis' neck and nipping before he sucked hard.

Louis cried out as white hot pleasure coursed through him, and his back arched, pressing his crotch against Harry's as he spilled into the uncomfortable human briefs. He slumped back onto the mattress, still grinding up lazily as pleasure still coursed through his groin, but Harry was staring down at him in awe, "Did you just... you..."

"I made a mess in these stupid clothes," Louis mumbled, and then Harry was bucking his hips against Louis' almost violently. Louis clung close, and he tugged lightly at the back of Harry's hair. Harry grunted in surprise, but then whimpered out Louis' name as Louis figured that the younger boy had just came as well. Harry went limp on him, burying his head into Louis' neck.

"Wow."

"I agree..." Louis breathed. "That was probably one of the best... what was that?"

"Um... dry-humping, I think?" Harry mumbled.

"I'm not dry."

"Me either."

Louis giggled, "Can we change? In about five minutes, maybe. My legs are all tingly."

"Yeah," Harry agreed breathlessly. "Five minutes. Let me just hold you for now. Or you're holding me, actually. Just like this. This is nice."

But they eventually grew uncomfortable in their sticky pants, and Harry helped Louis up and into the bathroom with a fresh change of pants for each of them. He grabbed them each a washcloth to wipe themselves down with, and Harry winced as he glanced at the older boy's neck. Louis felt Harry's eyes on him, and he arched a brow, "Yes?"

"I gave you a love-bite... it's quite visible, your shirt does nothing to hide it. It's like right in the middle of your neck."

Louis nodded, "I felt that. It was fantastic. Everything that just happened was fantastic, I don't understand why I've never done that underwater."

"Hey..." Harry pouted. "Because I'm not underwater!"

Louis giggled, "You're the only one I'd want to do that with anyway. And if... whatever that was was that wonderful... I'm excited for the rest of the stuff."

"The rest of the stuff?" Harry asked curiously.

"Yeah," Louis nodded, blushing lightly. "Like... hand-jobs, blow-jobs... actual sex."

"We just have to get away from our friends," Harry purred, slipping on his pants as he finally stepped forward to help Louis button his trousers, placing a soft kiss on his lips. "But I don't need any of that stuff right away. I was perfectly fine with just kissing, things just got a bit... heated."

"Right," Louis nodded. "I'm just saying, if things get heated again, just do what you need to do, I don't mind. I liked it."

"Well the same goes to you," Harry bumped his nose with Louis'. "Now we need to throw these clothes in the washer before someone notices that there's cum in them."

So Louis watched in confusion while Harry tossed the clothes into the washer, and then the two cuddled on the couch to watch a movie while they ate grilled cheese sandwiches that Harry had made for them. The other lads eventually came back into the house, sweaty and smelling of the ocean air outside.

Niall kicked off his sandals, dragging himself over and flopping on the floor in front of Harry and Louis, "It was so hot... so many crabs. And they all had those horrible, beady eyes. But I'm going to catch one eventually. You'll see. I'll prove all of you wrong!"

"Okay, Nialler," Liam chuckled, walking into the kitchen. "Anyone else want a glass of water?"

Niall struggled to get up then, "Me, I want one!"

"Will you bring me one, love?" Zayn called to Liam, plopping down on the same couch as Harry and Louis.

Harry blinked at Zayn from where he was snuggled against Louis' chest. Louis looked over at Zayn as well, his thumb stroking at the skin where his hand had slipped beneath Harry's shirt on his hip. Harry pursed his lips when Zayn didn't break the gaze he was giving them, his staring growing towards a rather intense level, "Erm... can I help you?"

"S'nice love bite you've got there, Lou," Zayn sniffed. "I can hear the washer going, too. You shouldn't have had enough clothes to wash yet. Care to share what you've been up to?"

Louis paled, Harry winced, and loud crash sounded from the kitchen.
