Coral Red ❤︎ [Brallon]

Dallon's POV
• ☼ • ☼ • ☼ • ☼ •

I opened my eyes slowly, the sun brightly shining on my face.
I blinked a few times, sitting up.

My whole body ached, my throat and eyes stung, and my head was throbbing.

I could've sworn someone was looking at me, but there was no one on the beach.

I looked around for Ryan, but I couldn't see him. Had he just left me?

I realized I was much farther down the beach than I had been. How did I get down here? I didn't remember swimming back to shore.

I saw something move in the water, so I looked over.

Eyes. There were a pair of eyes looking at me.

I kept looking at the eyes, not knowing what to do.

I tried to get up to get a closer look, but as soon as I sat up, my head was enveloped in pain. I fell over, my face going back in the very shallow water.

I saw a glimpse of red, as someone pulled my head out of the water.
"H-Hey, wake u-up!"

I looked up, seeing those same dark brown eyes looking into mine. "My head hurts."

"I'm n-not surprised," The young man next to me laughed shyly. "L-Lay back down...a-and...uh...close your e-eyes."

I did, but I kept my eyes open a tiny bit so I could see a sliver of what was happening.

I saw the other man moving away from me, I didn't want him to, I wanted someone, anyone to stay with me.

"Wait." I croaked out.

He turned around. "Y-Yes?"

"Stay, please."

"I...I d-don't think I c-can."

"Please."

He moved closer to me, still keeping his distance.

He was beautiful. I thought I would never say that about another man, but he was beautiful. His black hair was wet, and shone in the bright sunlight, his dark eyes bright, and his lips were curled up in a tiny smile.

"Did you save me?" I asked.

"K-Kinda." He said shyly.

"Thanks." I said, reaching for his hand.

I touched something weird as I made contact with his hand. It felt...like scales.

I heard him gasp, as I shifted to look at what I had touched. My eyes widened. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I gasp as he reaches out and touches my hand, a soft whimper soon escaping my lips shortly after as I start to pull away from him again, scared of what he would think.

He wouldn't tell anyone would he?

"I.. p-please don't h-hurt me," I mumble as I continue to try and back away, the look in his eyes making me nervous.

"Hurt you?" He asks, and I nod a little as I desperately try to hide my tail from his view,

I really did want to try and be friends with him, but I was still scared of what he could do. Maybe everyone I knew was right, maybe humans were bad.

"I'm not going to hurt you.. you saved me!" He says, and he sits up a tiny bit, wincing as he does so and he clutches his head, my eyes widening as I look at him.
