Hello readers! So basically writer's block yeeted last night so here you are; some beautiful Gridoc angst.

Doc's POV

I hand my hands firm on the wheel, turning the ship away from some rocks in the distance. It had been smooth sailing for a couple of weeks now, and I wasn't drunk enough to test our luck. "This is good enough place to anchor as any!" I called to my crew, stepping away from the wheel. They scurried around, pulling up the sails and dropping the anchor. I smiled crookedly. It feels good to be Captain of a ship as big as the Hermitcraft. I thought, stretching my sore muscles.

And then the singing started.

I clutched my head, digging into the side of the ship with my hook. The singing was beautiful, it called me closer. I leaped over the side, ignoring my crew's yells. I swam like my life depended on it, towards the rocks we had just sailed past. Eventually, and I don't know how, I pulled my soaking wet body out of the water. Before me was a handsome merman, his soft brown tail swept over the side of the rock, his light brown hair fluttered in the sea wind, and his deep brown eyes were more gorgeous and captivating than his music. He leaned over to me, and planted a kiss on my lips. I melted into it, closing my eyes in bliss, I wanted this moment to last forever. And then it was over. The merman turned away and leaped into the water. "No! Don't leave me!" I cried, thrusting my arm in the water, trembling. It might have been my imagination, but I saw him turn for a fraction of a second, and give me a small smile. Then he disappeared into the dark, murky depths of the ocean. "Don't leave me..." I whispered. There were distant yells from behind me, but I didn't hear them. There were strong hands on my shoulders, hauling me up onto the ship, away from my love. I didn't feel anything. I didn't want to feel anything, I wanted to go back to the moment where me and the merman's lips touched, and I wanted to stay in that moment for the rest of time. But I wouldn't get what I want. I would never see that merman again, and I would die alone, with nobody. 

If I could cry at that moment, I would have.

But I couldn't.

That was...It made me cry by writing it, so I have no idea how you are going to feel. It was very emotional, and I'm an emotional person, so that might be it but...Yeah never mind, I'll just go cry now ;~;
