The Unlikeliest of Lovers

Hey, I know I usually write more horror, mostly The Walking Dead, and although the fanfictions I've previously been writing have been technically 'on hold' through some important studies, I have two weeks off now and plan to write more. After watching a TV programme I got this fanfic idea, it's a Yuri about Ariel and Rapunzel. It may seem to follow the same story kind of ideas but just stick by and you'll understand as it continues. As always, please try to leave a review, I'd love to know what y'all think.

Thanks – Kayleigh :3

Chapter 1 – Through Translucent Waters

Not far away from a small, isolated village was the sea. The children of the village would often play on the white sands beside the translucent waters studying the waves gently lapping over their toes, or digging and through the Earth to create a castle for themselves and their friends, whilst their parents would lay comfortably against the warm sandy floor with their eyes shut, relaxed, their chests gently rising and falling with every peaceful breath. Of course, those restful breaths didn't last long. Sure enough after a few soundless minutes, they were being pleaded by their children to join in with their play, which will surely interrupt the elder's slumber. Relentless, the adults granted the children their wish and out of sheer luck they managed to play continuously for an entire hour in the beaming sun with rapidly growing fatigue. Eventually, the adults told the children that they'd had enough and wished to rest, although that upset a few of them, they agreed they'd played enough today.

One child, secluded from the rest stared at his reflection in the mirror-like water against the bank; he gently trailed a piece of seaweed across the surface of the water and gasped in surprise as it was pulled viciously from his grasp. He stumbled backward, astounded but suddenly became curious. Gently, he crept forward and leant towards the crystallized water, a small red mass was visible beneath the surface and he furrowed his brows in confusion.

"Cersei?" The boy called over from his location and after a few seconds, his blonde haired sister walked over reluctantly.

"What do YOU want?" She glared piercing daggers over his shoulder as her frustration grew quickly since she received no reply. "Tommy, I don't have all day...and I really do not want to be seen with you" She placed a hand on her hip and threw a fierce look at her brothers reflection.

"The water..." He continued to stare at the red mass that hid beneath the surface.

"Yes? What about it?" She frowned angrily and scoffed as she turned away, catching eye contact with the friends she'd left playing, they hadn't waited for her and she suddenly swung herself around and pushed her brother into the sparkling water head first.

"Look-" Tommy gasped as he felt himself splash against the cold water and unexpectedly heard the sound of cheer, laughter and loud chatter from older children behind him. Teenagers. His eyes ventured the only place they could go and that was through the depths of water that he was underneath, from there he could see the red mass clearer as it seemed to develop more. He frowned. It began to take the shape of a face, a female face, with bright azure eyes and red lips. His eyes widened and he flung his head out from under the water and stumbled backwards into his sister. Abruptly, she threw him off and jeered in his face.

"Ew! Get off of me!" The people behind her laughed and she gently flicked a strand of her flaxen hair behind her shoulder with a smug smirk.

"C-Cersei! T-There's something in the water!" He shouted in terror and crawled toward her, trembling.

"Something in the water huh?" She looked back at a group of teenage girls and boys who were seemingly her friends and sneered at them triumphantly before turning back and grabbing his hand. "Come on then...let's go for a swim!" She giggled deviously and started to drag him into the water where he'd seen the strange being. He was frightened and didn't want to go, he desperately fought against his sisters grasp but it only motivated the other teenagers to shove him forward, his strength no match to theirs as it sent him tumbling forward creating a loud splash.

He opened his eyes and stared into the dark abyss below the ocean, his eyes stung from the salt and he desperately waved his body about to break free of their grasp, gargling under the water he suddenly noticed the red mass getting closer to him. As it got closer its features became more vivid, it was a woman, just like he'd seen before, he let out a scream that was muffled but the water and at all of a sudden he felt a large wave shove him back onto dry land, he looked up and let out a sigh of relief, the woman that he'd seen was Queen Ariel, she laid against the sand staring up at the older children and she leant on one hand, flicking her tail in the angrily.

The teenagers all looked up astonished and in shock from the wave, they all stood up quickly and ran in the opposite direction screaming for their parents, Cercei gulped and groaned. "Oh...hello you're Majesty..." She gave a nervous smile and rubbed the back of her neck guiltily.

"Hm? Something to say Cercei?" Ariel flicked a strand of her long, crimson hair behind her shoulder and raised a brow in disapproval.

Cercei glanced at her distraught brother and she sighed. "I'm sorry for being ever so horrid to you..." She exhaled and stood.

"Your brother, no matter how 'annoying' they may seem is family, part of your, his blood runs through your veins...they're the most important thing in the world, you can't let that pass by, if there's anything I've learnt from being part of your world is: family always comes first..." She smiled charmingly and sighed. "Don't ever forget it" She glanced over at Tommy. "I apologise for scaring you, I figured I'd better make the rest run off" She chuckled and looked over again at Cercei. "You'll be good to him?" She raised a brow with a serious look on her face.

"Yes Ma'am" She smiled and nodded as they watched her turn and dive back into the depths of the ocean, she looked over at Tommy. "Do you want to have lunch with me?" She smiled.
