The week passes by and it's the weekend
"I'm going to have so much fun at the beach. I can't wait to go already" Joey says as he applies sunscreen on his torso and abdomen. "Yeah me too Joey. Me too" Tea replies to Joey's comment. After 35 minutes of preparing the last touch ups, the group of friends went their way to the beach on Duke's car.
15 minutes later, they arrived to their destination. And Joey was acting like a hyper 5-year old on sugar rush. "Hurry up guys" he says. "Don't rush us" Yugi comments and laughs out loud. "We have to get the stuff out the car you know Joey" Tea says. "Yeah Joey" Duke says, while checking Serenity out.
After they got their stuff and put them on a spot near a bathroom, everybody went (or ran, in Joey's case!) to the waters. Unknowingly to them, red eyes are watching them from afar. Looking to Joey's way. And it seems that more sadness is taking over his breaking heart, since he knows what will happen if he shows himself to the world. And he couldn't expose himself to anybody, because there will be lots of controversy whether or not mermaids and mermans are actually real. "I wish I was a real person, and not being stuck like this" Yami murmurs to himself, and his eyes get watery from loneliness for decades. Being a merman is difficult for Yami, and what can he do to not be a merman? "I wish I could have two feet and not hide away from the world. What life I have" he talks to himself.
His tail is a bright aqua color with small fins, his body a beautifully tan color and although he is slender he is well-defined. His hair is very unnatural: spikes all around his head, like a halo; red-black-yellow are the colors; and bangs framing his faces. His most prominent feature, are of course his eyes, a deep crimson red color. Eyes that can stare deeply into anybody's soul.
His usual spot, behind the boulders, is where Yami is currently at the moment, staring admirably at Joey. His eyes are glittering like diamonds, as Yami is smiling with joy since today's a lucky day for him. But it won't last long, since Joey will have to leave in a couple of hours. And Yami will be counting the days until the next time Joey comes to the beach again, but he doesn't know when he will come again to the beach. And he secretly wishes Joey would live at the beach, so he could look at him every minute of the day, seven days a week.
Several hours later
"Well guys, it is time to go. It's nearly 7pm. And you know we got to study for Monday's test on Chemistry" Tea says. "No, I don't want to leave" Tristan comments. "Well we can't live at the beach, you know" Yugi replies. "I know, but still" Tristan says. "Besides, I hate school" he continues saying. After 10 minutes, they are in the car, getting ready to leave after a long and fun day the beach.
Yami leaves his hideout from the boulders, and watches the car leave the parking lot; he feels alone again. "When will he come again"? he asks, and nobody answers him but the warm summer air, and he feels goosebumps rising on his arms. He lowers his head in sadness, as he swims away to his underwater home at the bottom of the ocean, just a mile away from the boulders.
What Yami doesn't know that the gods are on his side, and will grant him his wish of being a human. And that wish will happen very, very soon. The thing is, that Yami wouldn't know what hit him when the day comes and he sees 2 legs instead of a tail.
