The Little Mermaid (Mermaid! Haruka Nanase X Reader)

Chapter 3

Haru was swimming through a ship graveyard. His blue eyes matched perfectly with his gleaming light blue tail. His raven black hair is short and flowed handsomely behind him, the envy of many mermen. He swam with his best friend, Nagisa. Nagisa has short bright strawberry blonde hair that brings out his magenta eyes. "Haru, not to sound like a pain or anything, but I think we should go back. This place gives me the creeps. I feel like a shark could pop out any minute." Nagisa said warily hoping Haru caught on to his uneasiness.

"Oh come on, Nagisa. Nothing bad is going to happen to us, so just relax. How about this, we will only check out one ship instead of all of them, okay?" Haru compromised. He really wanted to go exploring the ships to find anything from the human world. The human world always fascinated him with it's foreign objects and mysterious ways. What probably made her love it more was the fact it was forbidden to merpeople. That was made it so much more exciting to her. The thrill of adventure pulled him in and took him away from the dreary world of royalty. Nagisa nodded at his friend knowing that was the best deal she was going to get.

The duo came across an old royal ship that sunk at least thirty years ago. Haru went through the porthole with relative ease and Nagisa followed. As soon as they were in the ship, Nagisa got into the whole collecting-human-objects thing that Haru was into. The two boys enjoyed collecting things and putting them into Haru's pale blue bag. Nagisa looked out the window and saw a huge shark with what seemed like rage in his eyes. So he did the only logical thing to do when one sees a shark. Scream bloody murder. "SHARK!" Nagisa swam out of the way as the shark crashed through the window with it's massive strength. Haru looked over at his friend and began frantically swimming away with his friend. "He's still following us! I told you we shouldn't be doing this!" Nagisa yelled as they were being chased by the shark.

"Just shut up and try to lose him!" Haru yelled as they swam for their lives. "No one can get away from the Shark!" The shark yelled with death in every word. Haru and Nagisa began swimming faster. Haru pointed towards a giant anchor and Nagisa followed him. The two boys easily fitted through the loop on the anchor, but the shark got half way through before getting stuck. Haru let out a small chuckle as Nagisa swam up to the shark.

"Ha! Take that, you big bully!" He yelled as he stuck out his tongue at him. The shark tried to chomp his head off, but Nagisa quickly swam away towards Haru who rolled his eyes. "Quit being such a guppy, Nagisa." Haru said to Nagisa when he got to his side. "I am not a guppy!" Nagisa retorted, swinging his tail in anger. Haru chuckled. "Ha ha, whatever, let's get this stuff to Rei, and see what he says." The two began swimming towards the surface to find the seagull, Rei.

"Rei! Hey, Rei!" Haru called out to the seagull. The seagull pulled out his telescope, but looked at it from the wrong end making Haru and Nagisa seem very far away. "Mermen off the port valve! Haru, can you hear me?" Rei yelled at the two seemingly far away mermen. Nagisa pulled the telescope from the seagull revealing their actual closeness to him. "Wow! You guys are fast!" He exclaims. Haru giggled softly as Nagisa rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"Alright you, Smart Seagull, tell us what this stuff is! Show him, Haru." Nagisa answered slightly annoyed. Haru grabbed the pale blue bag and held up a fork. "Well this is a dinglehopper. Humans use it to style their hair. You just stick it in there and give it a twist and behold a gorgeous hairdo." Rei said as he demonstrated for them. His pale purple feathers on the top of his head puffed up like an afro. The boys giggled as Haru took back the "dinglehopper."

He pulled out an old fashioned pipe. "Humans invented this to past the time because back in the day, they would just sit around all day and stare at each other all day." He got into Haru's personal space when he said this, but continued anyway. "So they made this Snortblat in order to make music, all you gotta do is blow and. . ." Rei took in a deep breath before blowing into the pipe. All that came out was seaweed and seawater.
