his curls floated around his head, small air bubbles Crowding around his face, and pink lips pulled into a sweet smile. I couldn't help but to smile back. I knew I would have to come back up for air not having the luxury to breath underwater like him. But I didn't want to. I wished I could stay under and admire the merman who stole my heart. He tilted his head to the side before swimming closer to me wrapping a scaley arm around my waist and pulling me up, swimming quickly to surface. He brought me up and I took a deep breath of air. I looked back to Harry and he shook his head a soft smile gracing his features. "don't do that Lou. you are a human, you need air." I felt the need to disagree and say 'I need you' but aside from being true it was corny, and he was right. you can't be in love if you're dead. instead I nodded letting Harry guide me to shore. I sat on the warm sand and watched Harry swim back to sea. the green eyed boy turned back towards me, only thing visible to me was his head. Harry looked at me for a while his bottom lip pulled between his lips and eye lashes fluttering against his pale skin. We stayed like that. Looking at each other for a while before Harry looked away, with a bashful smile and a blush. He waved his webbed hand before turning and swimming away with a swish of his tail, neither of us seeing the ship of predators off in the distance following the merman with hungry eyes.All Rights Reserved
