Blaine sat on the windowsill, staring up at the moon. He couldn't sleep, too worried about Kurt. Wes had told him that if he wasn't back by morning then they would call the police. Blaine was annoyed that he was the only one seriously worried about Kurt. There was a part of him that told him to go out and look for him. He tucked his knees under his chin and continued watching the stars. He flinched when his knee knocked his jaw and remembered why it hurt in the first place.

Filled with a sudden anger, Blaine grabbed his jacket and a torch that was on the side. He ran from the house barefoot, running towards the beach.

Kurt was still in shock. He stared down at his blue tail, that sparkled in the moonlight. Surely this was a dream. He had probably just fallen asleep on the beach and his imagination was running wild. He took a gulp of air and dunked his head under the water. He looked around under the water and saw a small opening in the rocks. He swam towards it flawlessly. He had never been a very good swimmer and he didn't particularly like the water. He didn't need to come up for air and swam through the gap. He continued to swim until finally he was out of the rock pool. He was at the bottom of the sea but he could see the moon shining through the water. Small fish, and large fish, swam around him. He was still convinced he was dreaming. Even in a dream the sea looked beautiful, especially at night. Kurt swam to the top and shuddered when the cold air hit his cold, wet skin. He looked towards the beach. He was pretty far out. Other than far off lights, and the odd light from houses, there wasn't much light. Kurt looked down and sure enough he still had a tail. But he was still dreaming, he had to be. Mermaids don't exist.

Do they?

He swam towards the sea, ignoring the cold. When he got back on the sand away from the water, which was a struggle, he just lay there not knowing what to do. They cold air dried his skin slightly. He could here his name being called in the distance. He recognised Blaine's voice immediately and panicked. Blaine could not see him as a merman, he just couldn't. But he was dreaming right? Kurt wasn't so sure anymore. Suddenly with a gust of warm air, he was on his feet. With legs. Back to normal. Kurt looked around and, when he heard his name once more, ran towards the voice.

When Kurt came into sight, Blaine stopped shouting mid-sentence. He sighed and ran towards him. When they finally met Blaine pulled Kurt into a tight hug.

"where have you been? Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine, kind of" Kurt muttered.

"Kurt what happened?" Blaine asked, his eyes frantic.

"It's hard to explain" Kurt answered, staring into the ocean.

"are you hurt?" Blaine asked, pulling kurt behind him as he sat down on the sand.

"Yeah I'm fine, Blaine what time is it?" Kurt asked, not paying much attention to Blaine's question. Blaine was still staring at him, his eyes bright with worry.

"Nearly one i think. Kurt I've been so worried. Are you sure you're okay? you know you can talk to me" Blaine said.

"I'm fine Blaine. Sorry for running off"

"I'm just glad you're ok" The tide came towards them and Kurt stumbled back on his hands, desperate not to get wet.

"Kurt what's wrong? It's just a little bit of water" Blaine said, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

Kurt stared back at him for a second before deciding to tell Blaine the truth.

"Something happened to me. Something big, Blaine"

"What? what happened to you Kurt?" Blaine said, panicking again.

"Don't freak out okay?" Kurt asked, getting to his feet. Blaine just nodded slowly.

Kurt walked towards the water, letting the waves wash over his feet. But nothing happened. He waited for ten seconds. Still nothing.

"Kurt, are you sure you're ok?" Blaine asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"But i don't understand" Kurt whispered "i was a mermaid, i had a tail! The moon did it to me" Kurt continued, loud enough for Blaine to hear.

"are you sure you didn't fall over Kurt? You could've just hit your head or something. You have had a tough day" Kurt remembered when he slipped down the hole. Maybe he did just hit his head and made it all up.

Blaine looked at him warily.

"Come on you need some sleep"

Kurt followed Blaine up the beach and over the street. He didn't remember getting into bed or falling asleep.

When Kurt woke up, his head hurt. He remembered the day before and groans silently. How could he be so stupid? Jeff was already out of bed so he decided to take a bath to clear his mind. He looked for his phone as the bath ran but couldn't find it anywhere. Had he left it in the rock pool? He grabbed a towel and locked the bathroom door. As he stripped off his clothes, he discovered a purple bruise on his hip from when he fell. No matter how real the night before felt, he knew he was stupid. Mermaids don't exist Kurt, he told himself. He submerged into the bath of bubbles and dropped his head back. Suddenly the bath began to bubble lightly. They stopped almost as soon as they started and left behind a Sparkling blue fin. He hadn't been dreaming. Mermaids do exist.
