Submerged (Mermaid Harry Styles fanfic)

seven

Waking up was awkward with a strange boy strung across you. Harry was a very cuddly sleeper. I didn’t know when he was going to wake up, but I hoped it wouldn’t be that soon. His chest was very toned and I could just stare at him. I studied all of his markings. There were two birds on his chest above his pecks. Beneath that was the butterfly I had seen earlier. It was my favorite. And beneath that were two seaweed looking things on his hips. I couldn’t get a good look at his arms because they were thrown all over the place.

Arabella was still asleep. I hoped she wouldn’t wake up before Harry did. She would have a piranha fit. The position we were in was questionable. Just as I had crossed my fingers, she started to stir. She rolled and turned to look at me. She saw Harry almost on top of me and her eyes widened to the size of a blow fishes.

“WHAT ARE Y-“ I cut her off with a finger to her mouth.

If looks could kill I would sure as deep sea be dead.

She gave me a glare. I whispered nothing happened and he was a cuddly sleeper.

We were having a silent whispered argument when Harry shot up out of the bed, startling Arabella and me.

He looked at confusedly and then came to realization, “This really isn’t a dream.”

I plucked Click Click out of her home and started caressing the curls on top of her head.

“Arabella can you get me some grapes for Click Click.”

She handed me grapes and I started to give them her.

“Heeeeyyyyy,” sounded Click Click.

Harry was glaring at the purple crab.

“Do you not like her?” I laughed out.

He quickly shook his head, “She bit me.”

“She didn’t bite you. She simply clicked on to you. You get used to it after a while.”

He still didn’t look convinced. I giggled to myself.

After a little longer of holding Click Click and playing with her while Harry looked warily at her. I placed her carefully back in her cage.

“So what do you guys want to do today?”

“We should probably show Harry around. You know introduce him to mermaids,” Arabella said condescendingly.

I rolled my eyes and a nod of my head I agreed with her.

“Where should we take him?”

“We could take him to the Ma-“

“Can you take me to where my boat was?” He interrupted us.

“To do what?”

“I want to explain to my friends where I am so they don’t think I’m dead.”

“No no you can’t do that. They can’t know about us. They can’t Harry.”

He looked conflicted, “But they’ll think I’m dead.”

“You’ll go back eventually.”

“What will I tell them? When I get back.”

“I don’t know yet, we’ll figure it out,” I patted him on the back.

He didn’t look convinced.

“Come on let’s go explore.”

I opened my door and led the two others through the hallways. I was just going to take him around the village to see everything. While swimming past Mishell’s door I hoped she wouldn’t come out. Just like before hoping didn’t help.
