Sweat trailed down from your forehead to your neck and stayed there like an annoying pest. Unlike the past visits to the park, the day was hot—the hottest temperature in the season. It was hot enough for pieces of strands of hair to stick on your skin and refuse to hang off every time you try to brush it off. And it was spring morning; you shivered despite the temperature when you imagine what would happen in the summer. Yet there was nothing stopping you from meeting your mer friend living in the pond.
Watching your footsteps, you dodged brambles and long branches as you called out, “Ryo?”
SPLOSH!
“Yeah?”
Your heart violently hammered once against your ribs and you clutched on it as if to hold it in place. “Oh gosh, you scared me Ryo.”
He was smiling sheepishly; his chest leaning against a rock, arms crossed in front of him, and his glamorous tail stretched up above the water, basking in the sunlight. “Sorry,” he said, “I didn’t mean to scare you.” He looked down sadly. “Though it’s quite impossible with how I look, right?”
Shoulders dropping, your hands lowered and hanged to the side lifelessly at the heartbreaking sight in front of you. Walking towards him, you kneeled in front of him and cradled one hand on his cheek while you placed the other on his chest. “I think you’re perfect,” you said earnestly, smiling at him comfortingly. “You’re the most beautiful person. Inside and out.”
Beneath your palm, you could feel the gentle thud of his heartbeat getting faster and stronger. He sniffled, rather adorably, and you could see prickles of tears in his eyes.
“Thank you.”
You kissed his forehead gingerly and playfully bumped his nose with your finger. The gesture earned a smile from the mer and you beamed as well. “Do you still want to listen to the rest of the story?”
Ryo nodded eagerly. “Of course.”
Pulling out the book, you took out the napkin bookmark from last time and started reading. Every once in a while, sweat trickled down your face and every time it did, Ryo brushed his soothingly cool hands and wiped them away from your skin. You blushed every time he did and your stomach seemed to lurch, pleasantly, and your heart stopped for a moment then beat harder than before. Yet you smiled and leaned towards the cold sensation of his touch. As you dabbed the sweat under your chin, he tapped your arm. Facing him, you saw his nervous face starting to heat up.
“W-would you perhaps want to put your legs in the water?” he suggested. “It would help you with the hot weather.”
“Are you sure you want my feet in the pond?”
He looked down embarrassedly. “I thought it would help you.”
You squeezed his arm gratefully. “Thank you. I would do anything to stop sweating like a flooding dam.” Taking off your shoes, you dipped your feet inside the water and sighed in content as the cold started to spread through your body. “This feels really good.” You placed a chaste kiss on his cheek. “Thank you.”
Awe-struck, he blinked a few times and snapped himself out a few moments later. “It was just a suggestion.”
“A really good one.” Beaming, you took out the napkin from the pages and opened to read, but he interrupted you before you could start reading the words.
“I have something for you,” he blurted out, looking eagerly excited.
You raised a brow, surprised at the sudden announcement. “Really?”
He blushed fiercely, the cheeks turning to a lovely shade of red, matching the scales on his tail. “It’s nothing big,” he said bashfully. “I’ll quickly go get it.”
He dove into the water and you kneeled on the rock to watch him swim ever-so-graciously through the shallow pond. You admired the flecks of glimmering scales of red and white of his tail as they glided and moved like a fluttering piece of silk against the wind. When he came back with his messy hair popping out of the surface, he had a big grin on his face as he hid something behind his back.
“What do you have behind your back?” You smiled at the childish excitement emitting from him
Ryo slowly brought his hand to you and unfolded his fingers from the object—it revealed a beautiful lily petal, with glowing streaks of blue flowing through the pattern engraved on the white surface. Hands hovering over the petal, you stared at it in amazement as you watched the glowing blue light from it.
“It’s a bookmark,” he said shyly. “Since you couldn’t find yours the last time, I thought I would make one for you.”
“It’s really beautiful,” you murmured, looking up at Ryo to focus on his black eyes. He slowly passed it to you and you took it with gentle hands. “Thank you, Ryo. I love it.”
“It’s really nothing special.” He shook his head. As he was about to retract his hand from you, you quickly took it into yours and pressed your lips on the back of it lovingly.
“It’svery sweet,” you objected, “and very thoughtful of you.”
He looked down, his cheeks splattered with pink blush, but smiled widely. “I’m glad you like it.”
Observing your new bookmark one last time, you carefully tucked it in between the padres you have left and faced him curiously. “I hope it wasn’t anything difficult making this for me.”
“It was nothing. Besides, I would do anything for you if you ask me to.”
Eyes wide, the smile on your lips ceased sombre and everything went black as you watched him shuffle nervously, his tail flickering and jerking every time he tried to find a new position. “You… you, y-you would really mean that?”
“I-I, um, I—of course, I’ll do anything for you, because you deserve anything you want in the world.”
Cocking your head to the side, you bit your lip, trying hard to contain a grin. “That’s a very cliché line,” you remarked. “Where did you get it from?”
Ryo chuckled nervously. “I got it from my father, from when he confessed his feelings to my mother.” Then he drew back, gasping, once he realized what he just said. “I don’t mean it that way. I mean you’re a p-perfect being in this world but—”
“I like you.” Simple as that, that stopped his stutters-filled ramblings and looked at you blankly. “I really like you.” You softly caressed his pale cheeks and searched for a reaction from him. Brows furrowing, you were about to take away from your hands when he laid his own on top of yours.
“I l-like you too,” he said, leaning his forehead against yours. “I reallydo.”
Beaming, you pulled his head towards you and kissed him tenderly. You laughed softly when a splash of water sprayed on you when his tail fin excitedly flapped against the pond’s surface.
“Sorry,” he apologized embarrassedly.
Capturing his lips again one last time, you pulled back and smiled at him. “You’re adorable,” you only said. Then you pecked his nose affectionately. “And sweet.”
Ryo smiled endearingly, wrapped his arms around your torso, resting his head on your chest, and let out a sigh. His arms tugged around your form and you propped your chin on his head. A breath escaped from you as well when his cool skin touched against yours, calming you instantly.
“And you’re perfect,” he said.
Meeting his eyes, you smiled. “So are you.”

It was a bright sunny day, just like the last time you visited the park as you walked through the forest path eagerly. The rustle of leaves seemed to call out to you to continue to journey through the deep shadows of the trees. When you arrived at your normal and familiar peace place, you found the warm colours of the koi fish.
“Ryo?” Your voice rang through the ripples of the big pond and you fiddled with your hand as the sound appeared to be echoing it back to you. “A-are you there?”
For a moment, it was silent and your shoulders dropped when realizing that what happened last time must’ve been just a hallucination of some sort. Sighing, you perched yourself under one of the trees and pulled out a book, the one you prepared for the mer. It was lonely—something you’ve never experienced when staying at this part of the park. You almost froze and halted your reading when you realized the feeling, but continued on with your self-facade of nonchalance.
SPLOSH!
A name then called out to you and you almost stopped breathing. The handsome face of the pale-skinned merfolk appeared in your vision and you smiled broadly.
“Ryo,” you breathed out. Swiftly lowering the book, you dashed and crouched in front of him. “You actually came.”
“I did,” he said bashfully, looking at you with his two twinkling black eyes. The colours of his scales sparkled as his tail moved excitedly under the glittering water. “And you came back.”
“Of course I did.”
“I-is that a book?” he asked, gesturing at the book that was placed back on the tree.
Quickly fetching the item, you came back with it and showed him the title, assuming that he could read human language of English. “My favourite book,” you said fondly. Beaming at him, you flipped a page and traced the ink-sunken words carefully. “I thought you would like it as well.”
His hand hovered over the paper but then drew back when a splatter of water was about to be dropped on it. “Sorry,” he apologized, looking down at his reflection on the pond bashfully.
Taking his hand into yours, you gently caressed his silky, wet hand with your thumb. His adorable blush made you grin like a cheshire cat from amusement and shook your head. “It’s all right.”
The pond suddenly rippled violently and you glanced at the water to see his tail swishing nervously side to side. Then Ryo suddenly tensed and embarrassedly looked at you with wide eyes.
“You’re adorable,” you remarked, tilting your head.
His mouth opening, his gaze darted around you before submerging himself halfway with his nose under the water. “You’re making fun of me.” His voice was blurred slightly and bubbles escaped to the surface of the pond and you laughed wholeheartedly.
“I’m not,” you denied genuinely, poking at the bridge of his nose affectionately. Then he ducked himself fully under while you waited patiently, criss-crossing your legs over one another and laying the book on your lap.
When he jumped out of the water, he laid his arms on the rock and rested his chin on them. “You’ve got a talent for making me embarrassed,” he said, lips forming a pout.
“What can I say? You’re really easy to mess up with.” You smiled. “Do you want to listen to the story?”
“Yes please.” He shifted into a sitting position where his tail rose above the surface slightly and glowed lusciously.
Taking your eyes off of it, you started to read off the pages, the words rolling off your tongue smoothly and seemed to create small ripples through the pond. While doing so, you occasionally peeked over the book to look at Ryo who instantly lowered his head to avoid being caught staring at you. Every time he did, you smiled giddily behind the pages and listened to the constant sound of the water lapping as his tail swished. He never once interrupted and just listened to you intently with great wonders written on his face.
You were not aware of the sky turning dark and you continued to read halfway through the story; yet Ryo tapped your arm gently to get your attention. Humming in response, you halted and looked at him curiously.
“It’s getting dark,” he said softly. Smiling rather sadly, he bit his lower lip as he watched you check the sky. It was indeed getting darker where the colour turned into pastel blue to a tint of a start of vibrant orange. “You should go before the forest becomes dark as well.”
“Right.” You searched for the bookmark you kept in your bag but sighed dejectedly when you couldn’t find it anywhere. “I thought I put it in here,” you mumbled.
“What are you searching for?” he questioned, tilting his head.
“A bookmark to mark the place where we stopped reading,” you answered, pursing your lips as you took another search through the cluttering objects of your essentials. Another sigh left your lips and you were stuck with sticking a piece of napkin between the pages. Looking back at Ryo, you see him nodding to himself with a distant expression and you smiled. “Did you like the story?”
“I enjoyed it very much,” he said earnestly, a bright grin adoring him.
“That’s good to know.”
“It’s very different from the stories I’ve heard from the other folks.” He glanced at you nervously. “Perhaps I can tell you one some day?”
You almost melted at the sight of his blush but you managed to say, “I would love to.”
Surprised, you watched him as he hesitantly placed his hand on yours and cradled it gingerly. They were smooth, soft, and shockingly cold—the touch was incredibly comfortable.
“Thank you,” he whispered.
“It was no problem at all.”
He rolled to his stomach and gazed up at you with an unreadable look on him. “I really enjoy being around you.”
Tenderly, you placed your unoccupied hand on his cold cheek and tilted your head to the side. “Me too.” Leaning towards him, you pecked his forehead, your lips lingering on his skin and the cold sensation leaving with you as you pulled away. “I’ll come back again soon to finish the story,” you promised.
His hands shook and his eyes seemed to moisten, but he somehow pulled both of yours to kiss them “Thank you.” His breath tickled against knuckles and you squeezed his hands back. “I’ve never expected so much kindness from you.”
How could you notsmile at his words?
”Expect more to happen then.”
Writing a second part of a story that nobody knows of its existence. Anyways, I enjoyed writing this and I hope someone would enjoy reading it as well.

Warning: Setting in forest and pond, Fluff

The sound of the water rippling repeatedly cut through the calm silence, caused by the koi fish swimming leisurely through the serene pond. Currently, you were lying against a tree with your eyes shut, the sound of people in the distance muffled by the wall of branches and grasses. This patch of nature was one of the biggest parks you ever know and it’s filled with many beautiful places—like the pond in front of you.
It was a rather big pond in the middle of the park, connected to a streaming river, and colours of white, orange, red, golden, and black all painted through the transparent water. There was a small bridge between the entrance of the river and the circular pool that casted a shadow over the surface. And the best part is that the place was secluded by other pedestrians.
This was your favourite place to be when you wanted to be left alone and just lie on the soft grass. You don’t have to worry about being lost or being too lonely since the main part of the park was a safe distance away and snaps of voices drifted to the place.
Smiling peacefully, you sighed happily as sleep started to take over you.
Splosh.
You cracked open an eye towards the water and your forehead crinkled. The sound was rather loud but you shrugged it off as some of the hungry koi. You once more laid your head against the bark as your breathing started to become shallower.
SPLOSH!
Swiftly as thunderbolt, you looked at the pond to see that the koi fish were all positioned at the corner. Narrowing your eyes, you creeped slowly towards the water with all your fours, ignoring the cold dirt seeping through your palm and your knees. Tentatively, you peeked over at the pristine water and scanned through with suspicion. When you found nothing, you were about to shrug it off when your gaze landed on the bridge. Tilting your head, you walked near the stoned structure and stuck your head under.
Big ripples skimmed across the water—then you saw it. A tail almost as long as your entire height and thick as the length of your arm, littering with splats of beautiful red and oranges over a white canvas, and an upper body of a human with pale skin smoothly joined on it. You looked up above the next and gasped when you saw a handsome face staring right at you with his pale cheeks flushed to almost the same colour as his red scales.
“I…” he uttered quietly, frozen in place in panic.
With your lips quivering anxiously, you leaned towards him with wide eyes. “W-What—Whoareyou?”
“I’m R-Ryo,” he said, his voice almost inaudible. His hands clutched at the edges of the stones on the bridge as he pressed his back against it.
Quite reluctantly, you said your own name, trying for a small, friendly smile. “Nice to meet you,” you said awkwardly.
His body hesitantly swam towards you, his beautiful colours of his scales flickering graciously and sparkled as he came into the light. You couldn’t help but admire his lean form and saw the other details on his body; there was a thin and delicate fin lined up from the very end of his tail to the middle of his spine, the bits of red scales littered on his skin, and his adorable cheeks that are slightly puffed up. He easily towered over you and you almost had to look directly at the sky to meet his gaze. It was amazing to watch such a enormous form moving in a shallow and small pond without any trouble or discomfort.
“You’re amazing,” you couldn’t help but say.
Ryo’s face heated to an endearing colour of pink, but the corners of his lips turned into a bashful smile. “Th-Thank you.”
Tilting your head, your brows furrowed in puzzlement. “Why haven’t I noticed you before?”
“I tried to hide away from you,” he said. “You’re such a beautiful human and I-I was afraid that you would be disgusted by a creature like me.”
“Oh…” You looked away, feeling your neck crawl with an intense heat of embarrassment, yet you looked up to him with a comforting smile. “You’re also beautiful, you know?”
You widened your eyes when he suddenly dove into the water, somehow completely submerging himself before springing up into the air again. Jumping back, you watched as his mouth opened and closed repeatedly just like the koi fish around him.
His face ever so slowly swayed towards you, his eyes shining gorgeously. “I-I—you… y-you really think so?”
Nodding, you brought your fingertips to his face, and skimmed gently over the soft pale skin. You felt him shiver under your touch, and through his chest emerged a light chuckle and duck away as if it tickled.
“You’re very beautiful, Ryo.”
He blushed madly, but grinned ear-to-ear like a child that was so adorable.
“So,” you said, “what do you do around here?”
“I swim at the larger lake just a few distance away from here,” he said, gesturing beyond the river. “And sometimes I…” –he looked away embarrassedly– “I listen to you read to yourself.”
Oh.
Shocked, you stayed silent for a while with your eyes wide and lips parted. Blinking a few times, you got yourself out of the daze and smiled at him. “Maybe I could read something for you the next time I meet you?”
“T-The next time?”
You tilted your head and furrowed your brows. “We’re not going to meet again?”
“Of course!” he said in a rush. His tail flapped against the surface of the pond and the water sprayed on you. “Sorry!”
Laughing in amusement, you shook your head and cracked open your eyes. “Don’t worry,” you said, brushing off the specs of water on your clothing.
His entire face beamed in excitement as he asked, “When can I meet you again?”
Pursing your lips, you looked at him sheepishly. “I actually don’t know.”
“Well if you come here the next time, just call my name.” He traced patterns on the rock you were crouching on. “I’ll come here really quickly.”
You nodded. “Got it.”
“But for now, I-I think you should go now.” He gestured up at the horizon, the sun sinking slowly to the ground. “It will be dark soon.”
“Right,” you said, standing up. You stumbled on your steps when the spark of numbness spread through your legs abruptly. Dusting off invisible dirt to hide your embarrassment, then smiled down at Ryo who was watching you with unreadable eyes.
“I’ll see you again, okay?”
He somehow rose to his full height graciously, reaching just below your shoulder. His long tail adored with scales dazzled against the blazing sunlight, almost blinding you with its shine. It once more amazed you how big and powerful, yet so elegant and mythical he was.
“I’ll be waiting,” he promised.
Without a thought, you leaned down to him and pressed a chaste kiss on his cool and wet cheek, lips stretched shyly against his skin. Ryo just stayed there frozen in place, staring blankly at the place just behind you. You licked your upper lip nervously and duck away in shyness.
“Sorry,” you mumbled. “Have a nice evening.”
“You too.”
His voice was soft and faintly echoed through the gentle wind. Perhaps you imagined it, but you heard a small awe in his words that sent a warm wave in your heart.
A small writing that I’ve done because I had some free time to kill. Hope you enjoyed this short and inadequate writing.
