The crew entered the small cabin, it was old and rusty. The doors squeak and the floor creak. The paint was slightly peeling from the walls, everywhere seemed dusty. "Jesus christ." Kaname mumbled as he continued to talk down the hall to the rooms at the end of it.
"I get the biggest one." Aido dibs as he ran to the room and happily slammed the door. Kaname rolled his eyes and picked the room farthest from everyone else and slowly closed the door behind him. He put his bag down and scanned the dirty room.
"I won't make it out alive." Kaname sighed and heard running from the other side of the door.
"PARTY TIME!" Aido screamed as he got his speakers and plugged his phone in. He began blasting music loudly making the crimson eyed male groan.
"And I'll be deaf." Kaname said and walked over to the dusty to inspect it. It looked gross. Really gross. Kaname was having a cringe attack at this point.
~DARK TIME~
Kaname decided to leave the party for a bit seeming his ears were hurting. Holding his beer in his right hand the crimson eyed man made his way down to the dock where the boat was at and happily sat down on the wood with his legs in the water.
Happily he drank from his beer bottle and admired the view he got. Even though the cabin was shit the view at night was beautiful. The moons full reflection glassed the water while the stars made the water shimmer beautifully. It was so beautiful that Kaname seemed lost in the view for a moment...until he noticed that the bottle in his hand was being pulled on.
Kaname looked down and gasped as a hand was coming out of the water, trying to tug the bottle down. Kaname pulled his arm up in reflex until he noticed it was the same mer from before. Being spotted the mer quickly swam off making the male stare wide-eyed as he disappeared.
"H-Hang on! Do you want some?" Kaname asked and put the beer bottle half underwater and shook it gently. There was nothing at all until he looked in the crystal clear water to see a figure swimming toward him. The mer raised it's head out of the water only just letting the top half of his head able to see. Lavender eyes darted from the bottle to Kaname.
"It's not poisoned or anything." Kaname said and took a gulp of it to prove his point. Once the mer thought it was okay he took the beer bottle out of the humans hand gently and smelled it. Slowly he raised out of the water some more until his whole head was sticking out. He brought the bottle to his lips and took a sip from it but pulled away in disgust at the taste of it.
"Eww." The silver-haired mer said before handing the bottle back to the human. Kaname stared wide-eyed at the mer before him.
"Don't like the taste huh? My name is Kaname." Kaname introduced himself and stuck his hand out towards the mer making him move back a bit.
"...Mine is Zero." Zero said and gently shook Kaname's hand but pulled away quickly to make sure the human didn't grab him.
"Are you alone here?" Kaname asked and tilted his head to the side curiously.
"I'm not answering that." The mer replied quickly in defence.
"U-Um okay," Kaname said awkwardly and fidgeted. The mer looked behind the other to see a female exiting the house. The mer sunk back underwater as he watched the human approach. Kaname looked at him before looking up at Yuki and smiled at her gently. Even though he wanted her to desperately go away so he could speak longer with the mer.
"Hey," Yuki said and stood beside Kaname.
"Hi," Kaname replied back and took a sip from his beer and stopped as he tasted the mer on it. Kaname blushed and pulled the beer away from his lips and looked down into the water to see the mer was still there and watching him.
"Did you really see a mermaid out there?" Yuki asked as she scanned the lake. "You seemed pretty convinced you did," Yuki added and looked down at her brother.
"No, I didn't see a mermaid," Kaname said and looked up at his sister. Zero perked up in the water as he heard Kaname's response. "I was in a state of panic and my brain imagined something that wasn't really there," Kaname said and took another sip of his beer.
"Haha, I see," Yuki said and turned around slowly. "Well, I'll hope to see you back in the house soon. We are playing some games." Yuki said and walked off back to the house. Kaname looked down at the water to see the mer was gone and sighed heavily.
He must of been scared off.
"Was she your girlfriend?" A voice asked making Kaname looked to the side to see the mer with his arms folded on the dock, his tail raised up and down in the water behind him and his eyes directed towards the house.
"If your in love with her sorry to say this but she is already taken. And no I'm not her boyfriend I am her brother." Kaname said making the mer look up at him.
"I'm not in love with her, she's ugly...no offence." Zero said and put both hands on the dock as he pushed himself up and out of the water. He twisted around until his butt was on the wood of the dock and the end of his tail in the water.
"Are mermaids allowed out of the water?" Kaname asked and watched as the silver haired mer nodded beside him.
"Yeah but our bodies must remain wet." Zero replied and looked around him making sure he was safe from other humans.
"Am I the first human to see you?" Kaname asked making the mer look at him ridiculously.
"Keep dreaming." The mer replied making the other male look at him confusingly.
"Whats that meant to mean?" Kaname asked sounding a little offended.
"I'm saying that your not the first human to see me." Zero said and then splashed the water with his tail slightly.
"Right," Kaname said and drank some of the beer and put the bottle down beside himself.
"Why are you here?" Zero asked and looked at the human.
"It's my sisters boyfriends birthday, and this is the cabin he use to come to when he was a kid so he made his birthday party here." Kaname and watched as the mer nodded. "Why are you here?" Kaname asked curiously.
"Well I was almost raped when I was a kid so my parents decided to remove me from the sea and put me into a lake. Though I can still get to the ocean my parents forbid it." Zero said and splashed the water with his tail again.
"That's horrible. Are your parents human?" Kaname asked quietly.
"Nope mermaid too." Zero said and then got back into the water. "Well I need to get going now." Zero said and looked at the beer. "Can I keep that?" Zero asked and pointed to the bottle.
"Uh...yeah sure," Kaname said and handed the mer the nearly empty bottle of beer. "I hope to see you soon," Kaname said making the mer look at him with a slight smile.
"If by chance I see you in the water and nobody is around you I'll go up to you and say hi." Zero said making Kaname smile.
"That'd be great," Kaname said and waved the mer goodbye.
Zero waved back before diving into the water, holding the bottle close to his chest.
