Of course everyone thought Mermen and mermaids weren't real, A fairy tale story but then again none of them had ever actually seen under the sea.
Everyday Blaine would swim up the excluded side of the beach, His turquoise tail shining beneath him but today was different. He whimpered and whined as he tried to free his tail from the fishing net, wriggling around and not even noticing the boy approaching him.
Kurt's heart beat a thousand times faster at the beautiful merman in front of him, It was a dream. It had to be, they weren't real. After a debate in his head, he built the courage up to approach Blaine.
Slowly, He made his way to Blaine and crouched to his level, gently pulling the net off Blaine's tail "Shush shush, I'm not going to hurt you." He whispered nervously.
Blaine jumped at Kurt's actions, Diving down when he was free. He was told humans were evil and despite his curiosity he had to obey the sea laws.
"I'm Kurt, By the way. Can you speak English?"
He nodded
"Do you have a name?"
Another nod
"What is it?" He asked softly.
"Blaine.."
Kurt was still in the place of disbelief. A merman was sat in front of him, this couldn't be real and then bang.
Blaine had pulled Kurt down by his feet, looking curiously as he held the boy tightly. "I like your stumps.."
Kurt squirmed as he tried to get out Blaine's grip, Scared from tails told about merpeople trying to pull you down under the water "E-Excuse me?"
"These." He nodded, holding Kurt's feet up with a tiny smile "I like them."
Kurt nodded slowly and slammed his hands down onto the sand, Shaking his head "Thank you...P-Please don't pull me in. I won't tell anyone about you, Blaine."
Blaine tilted his head, his damp curls now dripping the water "I'm not going to pull you in, Kurt." He assured "I just like these, Why do you not have a tail?"
"Because I'm human.." He said shyly "You're a um- a..."
"Merman?"
"Yes that." He agreed slowly "This is a dream though isn't it. A crazy dream, I knew watching the little mermaid always made me fantasise about these things.. oh god, Come on wake up wake up."
Blaine let go of Kurt's legs and moved his torso onto the sand, pinching Kurt's hand.
"Ow! Blaine!" He frowned "What was that for?!"
"You said you were dreaming...You're not." He smiled, paddling backwards and lifting his glistened tail up and down with gentle movement. "What's the little mermaid?" The young merman asked curiously.
"It's a movie about a mermaid who falls in love with a human." He said briefly with a smile.
Blaine smiled and rested his head in his hands as he looked up to Kurt "I want to watch it but don't your people not like us. You trapped me in a net just to let me go?" He said slowly
"It wasn't my net, Blaine." He said softly, leaning over and patting Blaine's tail. He jumped when Blaine flipped out, shaking his head "I'm sorry did I hurt you?"
"You can't touch my tail...We aren't together.." He said with a puppy pout, looking down to his hands. Blaine lips twitched into a smile as Kurt lifted his chin up, shaking his head shyly.
Kurt nodded "Sorry Blaine, I didn't Realise." He said slowly, taking his hand back and looking up to Blaine "Why are you up this close to land anyway?"
"I like to come up here because everyone tells me humans are dangerous but I don't know, My curiosity takes over as I think there's something more to your kind.."
"Well I can assure you Im not dangerous, Especially not to you." He whispered, smiling softly.
