Submerged (Mermaid Harry Styles fanfic)

four

I could see why they called him Harry. His hair was wild and crazy. Something you would definitely remember about him. I wanted to reach out and touch, but I didn’t because I knew he was scared.

“Listen Harry.  I have this plan, and you’ll have to go along with it alright?”

He simply shook his head 'yes' as a response. Fear still evident in his eyes.

“We’re going to bring you back to our village. You can stay around there until you heal and we’ll help you find a beach to go to. So the background information about you will have to be you came off the coast of Brighton. And you’re visiting a fishlative.”

“What are we going to tell father? What if he comes into your room and sees just an extremely attractive merman. To top that off and he doesn’t even know him.”

“I’ll just have to say he’s an old friend I met while out seashell finding.”

Mishell huffed.

“Oh and one more thing Harry, my dad is the King of the Sea.”

It took a while for Harry to get use to his tail. He couldn’t figure out how to flop around. It was quite hilarious. I felt bad for laughing at how he would flick the tail around while counting to three.

He still hadn’t gotten the hang of it, but he could still swim the short distance back to the village.

“This must be a dream,” he said to himself.

“What’s a dream?”

“This is definitely a dream.”

“What the deep sea is a dream?”

All he did was just shake his head at us. I mean rude.

“Now Harry you’re going to have to be quiet. Mishell if daddy is out can you distract him? And Arabella you help Harry swim so he doesn’t wake the others up.”

Harry looked offended.

I stuck my head around the corner and made sure the coast was clear before motioning the rest of the guys to come. I was starting to despise how large our home was. It was made out of sand, it had many rooms to fit the needs of the many sisters I had.

I motioned for them to go into my room. Right before Mishell went in I slammed my door. She annoyed me. I heard her huff before retreating back to her room.

I turned to see Harry trying to swim back and forth. He was knocking my kelp bottles over and saying sorry while trying to place them back before knocking them down again. I couldn’t help but laugh. Arabella was sitting in my large clam bed just staring at Harry. I mean who wouldn’t want to stare at him all day.

“So Harry do you want to sit down for a while?”

He clumsily swam over to my bed to sit.

He looked up at me just studying my face.

“Harry, where did you come from?”

He didn’t reply.

“Come on we don’t bite.”

He still didn’t reply.

“Alright I’ll tell you a little bit about myself then. I’ve lived here my whole life. I have ten sisters. You met Mishell. She’s annoying right?” He laughed a bit.

“You did see me earlier today. Every time a new boat comes I go and human watch.”

“Wh-hy did you scream then?”

I looked over at Arabella all she did was shrug.

“Um I was in deep thought when Arabella over there scared me.”

“You were looking straight at me.”

“That is correct.”

I quickly swam up. This suddenly got awkward. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my pet crab. Quickly grabbing her out of the cage I lifted her up.

“This is my pet crab, Click Click.”

“Heeeeyyyyy,” sounded Click Click.

Harry looked terrified. “I didn’t know crabs made noises.”

“Oh Click Click just says 'hey" all the time. I don’t know why.”

He nodded still confused. “I didn’t know you had purple crabs either.”

I just nodded my head in response.

“Do you want to hold her?”

“Sure.”

I handed Click Click off to him. He was holding her in his hand when she stuck her claw out and grabbed onto his hand.

“OUCH!”

I quickly grabbed Click Click from him.

“She does that. She clicks on to you. Hence her name,” I laughed it off putting her back in her cage. I gave her a grab to satisfy her for now.

I looked back at the others when my door was thrown open.

 There stood my father, “I thought I heard a scream.”
