Another fanfic brought to you by the dynamic duo: Me and Shim!
We were watching Little Mermaid and discovered something!
What, that Lavi and Kanda would make a cute merman and prince respectively?
Well, that too. I was actually talking about how Ariel's a whore! Seriously, when she's talking to the statue, she has that "take me to bed" look. And when she was gonna kiss him, she looked evil! It was like "Kiss me or I'll rip your epidermis out!"
Epidermis is your skin. Anywho, I'm Sailorstar165
And I'm Shimanishiki (call me Shim!)
And we now present "Shimmering Scales!"
"Hic... sniff..."
"Lavi, are you okay?"
The small redheaded merboy looked up. "No, I'm not!" he sobbed. "I hate this! I just want to be normal! I don't want this tail!" He slapped his shimmering tail against the stony seafloor. "I hate it..."
The younger white-haired merboy swam closer and sat next to Lavi. "You know you can't not be who you are," he said. "You're Lavi, a Shimmer and my wonderful older brother. You can't deny who you are."
Lavi looked up, his emerald eyes twinkling in the dim light. "But don't you hate me, Allen?"
"How could I hate my own brother?" Allen asked rolling his silver eyes.
"Well, you have to rule the kingdom and all because I'm a Shimmer and can't have any merpups." Lavi looked at his green tail right next to Allen's light blue one. "You'll probably get stuck marrying some crazy hag."
"Aren't I supposed to choose who I give an apple to?" Allen asked, raising an eyebrow. "The whole point to being king is so that I can do whatever I want to."
Lavi smiled and ruffled Allen's hair. "Thanks, bro. Thanks for making me feel better." He looked at the sparkling scales. "Maybe it's not so bad being a Shimmer..."
Wow. Short Prologue chapter. Well, here's a longer chapter that actually has some story.
And yes, we were making up names for things just looking around the room.
At the end of the fic we'll have an explanation for terminology. For now, you'll have to live with characters explaining them during the story. Don't worry—there'll be plenty of explanations later on.
