Fabian Seacaster x Mermaid!Reader PT. 3

"There you guys are! How are you liking the inn so far?" Asked (Y/n) as the Bad Kids approached, swimming in a pool of levitating water that had been conjured up for her when she was born so she could get around the inn easier.

"It's amazing! Our rooms are so gorgeous! Thanks so much for letting us stay here!" Fig hailed as she gave the mermaid a hug.

"Hey, It's no problem! It's what this place is meant for after all. For weary travelers and adventurers to rest."

"Speaking of rest, I am getting a little tired."

"Oh, I can fix that. Follow me and we can all chill out by the fire for a while! Maybe you guys can tell me a little about yourselves."

"Sounds cool! Lead the way, merlady!" Kristen laughed as the party followed behind (Y/n).

A couple hours later, the teenagers were all gathered in a circle as they idly chatted about whatever came to mind. As he sat off to the side with Riz, Fabian couldn't help but take a few glances (Y/n). The half-elf felt something poking him in the side before he turned to see Riz elbowing him.

"Uh, Fabian, you still there, man?'

"Oh, uh, yes. I'm here. I'm all good."

"Are you sure? Because youve been staring at (Y/n) for a while now..."

"I have?" Inquired Fabian as he tried to conceal his blush from his goblin friend.

"Yeah dude. Wait a second... Could it be?..."

"Oh, no. That's your thinking face and I absolutely hate it when you have your thinking face on." Fabian cringed as he avoided looking at his shorter friend.

"Hold on, do you thing for her?!"

"What? No, I do not have a thing for her!"

"You do! You like (Y/n)!"

"Riz, shut the fuck up!" Fabian hissed as he nearly kept to cover Riz's mouth.

"Dude, what the hell?" Riz spoke, his voice muffled by a hand.

"Ok, yes, I like her! Now shut up or she'll hear you."

"I will, just let me go first." Riz complained quietly before Fabian began releasing him with a soft huff.

"Alright, you caught me. I have a crush on (Y/n), what do you want from me?"

"Honestly, I should have seen this coming. You've been- excuse the pun- hooked since we first caught sight of her."

"I don't think that's true. It took a few seconds..."

"Whatever, Fabian. But if you've already got it this bad you should try to do something about it."

" The question is, what should I do? I mean, by no means are you the love expert, but you are the smartest one in the party."

"First off, ouch, second, go talk to her for a while. If you like her this early on, then you should get to know her a little more. Ask her to go out while we're here."

"Excellent idea, The Ball! I'll do that right after we get back to Elmville! For now, I'm going to go back to my room and avoid anymore interaction with her!" Fabian replied as he slipped out of his chair and tried to make a run for his room. Before he could even blink, Riz grabbed the arm of his jacket and pulled him back to his spot.

"No, you need to talk to her now!"

"But what if she hates me after I tell her how I feel?"

"You're just gonna have to take that chance, man. Now go!" Riz stated before commanding Fabian to go over with a point.

Fabian sighed worriedly as he stood back up and carefully made his way to where (Y/n) had just finished a conversation with Adaine.

"Hey, there you are! I've been wondering where you were at! I almost thought you were trying to avoid me." (Y/n) claimed happily as she noticed him approaching.

"Well, I wanted to save the best for last."

"The best, huh? I appreciate it, but you're a lot cooler than I am. At least in my opinion."

"I don't think that's right! I believe you mentioned something about you having a collection that you still have to show me." Fabian said as he feigned ignorance with a sly grin on his face.

"You really wanna see it? Even though it's just boring things from fisherman boats?" Questioned (Y/n) as she stated curiously at the boy next to her.

"If it means a lot to you, then I'm sure it's awesome. Lead the way."

(Y/n) smiled sweetly before Fabian leaned over to whisper in her ear.

"We gotta figure out a way to get past everyone if you're gonna show me."

"I don't think it'll be too hard. If anything, it's gonna be overly easy!" Quietly chuckled (Y/n) as Fabian locked eyes with her.

"What do you mean?" He inquired until (Y/n) pointed at the rest of the kids. Fabian peered over her finger to see the rest of the Bad Kids sound asleep in their spots.

"That really does make it easier." Fabian shrugged as he stood up.

(Y/n) laughed softly as she took Fabian by the hand and began to lead him out of the cave again after casting the water spells on him again. The pair walked back through the lake and quickly came upon a smaller cave, lit up by hundreds of tiny, glowing rocks.

"Come on, the grotto is just through here." Announced (Y/n) as she swam through, Fabian immediately behind her. They traveled down the small path for a few moments before the opening grew wider, revealing an immense cavern with glittering treasures all around the cone shaped expanse.

"Wow... This is amazing! I thought you said you collected stuff from fishermen!"

"I do! These have all fallen out of fishing boats and sailing ships. Some of them fell into the lake before I ever started putting stuff  in here."

"What kind of fishing boats drop swords?" Fabian laughed as he picked up a broadsword and examined it. He put it back down and wandered over to a shimmering sapphire necklace.

"I guess I never thought of it like that. I don't get out of Marlowe Bay that much, but if I did, I would go see all the collections of the world. I wanna see all the beautiful things it has to offer! As much as I love it here, I wanna explore like you and the others"

"Well, I can think of one thing Marlowe Bay has that the rest of the world doesn't." Fabian said as he picked up the sapphire necklace.

"And what would that be, Mr. Seacaster?"

"Well, Miss (Y/n), the rest of the world doesn't have you. And no.other collection can compare to that." Fabian answered as he delicately placed the chain around (Y/n)'s neck.

She blushed and put one hand on the central jewel as Fabian rounded her once more, being careful as to not bump into her tail- and took her hand in his.

"I know we haven't known each other for very long, but I truly can't help but feel a connection between the two of us, so I was wondering if maybe you would want to go on a small date with me tomorrow so we can get to know one another. What do you say?" Fabian asked as he rubbed his neck.

With a smaller blush on her features, (Y/n) nodded eagerly and gave a bright smile.

"I'd like that. I'd like that a lot."
