🌊Taehyung🌊
"Taehyung-ah, we've talked about this." Jimin sighed, his body perched up upon a rock, ombré purple tail sloshing around behind him.
"I know jiminie, but you don't understand how much this means to me." Taehyung countered, crossing his arms over his chest stubbornly.
"Tae, you know this is against your father's rules right? If he finds out about this-"
"I know jimin, you don't have to remind me," taehyung scowled, the mere mention of his father bringing a bitter taste to his tongue. "This is why I'm asking you to distract him. Please."
"Fine," the mermaid muttered softly, leaning his cheek onto his tiny palm. There was no way he could ever say no to him, no matter how much he tried. After seeing what tae's been through, the boy's happiness was what mattered the most to jimin.
"Jiminie have i ever told you how much i love you?" Taehyung smirked, grabbing jimin's face into his palms to try and plant kisses on his cheeks.
"Yeah yeah, get off of me you overgrown fish." Jimin pushed off the boy, groaning out a small "yuck" as his face scrunched up.
"I owe you jimin." Tae smiled, waving a small goodbye as he headed off into the deep and dark abyss.
"You're too kind for your own good taehyungie." He thought as he watched the other swim away with ease and urgency.

As taehyung swam towards the surface, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joviality and melancholy at the same time.
He wished things weren't the way they were. He wished he wasn't forbidden to do the things he enjoyed doing the most. It's like he was constantly being put down and reprimanded for simply doing things he loved. He wanted out. Out of the cruel world he lived in.
"As long as i don't get caught, I'll be fine. This'll have to do for now." Taehyung thought, pushing all the thoughts deeper into his mind.
Once at the top, he slowly poked his head out of the water and breathed the earthy musk in. If taehyung could pick a scent he'd like to smell forever, he'd pick this one without thinking twice. He took in his surroundings, the ocean waves hitting softly against his torso whilst the sun shone brightly above him.
"Hello earth, did you miss me?" He smiled to himself, submerging his body under the water to swim to the edge.
He looked both ways before dragging himself towards the sand, setting himself into a comfortable position and watching as his tail slowly withered away like leaves on an autumn afternoon and molded into a perfect pair of legs.
