Title: Kiss of a Mermaid
Summary: The sea had enchanted Cana her whole life. It's no surprise a mermaid would ensnare her even further.

You would think that after being alive for a couple of centuries, Juvia would understand humans.
But she didn't. Despite her considerable experience, despite all her years of observing humans, they were still the most baffling creatures in the world. Juvia could rant for days about all their odd little traditions and cultures and superstitions and who knows what else (don't even mention their dreadful persistence in cooking everything they touch, it's awful). And one of their many baffling aspects was their insistence on clothes.
Juvia would never understand their desire for scritchy cloth to cover themselves, especially in the muggy air that never left the island. Clothes always stick and cling to uncomfortable crevices of the body, or just gathered heat and sweat as people went about their day. Why anyone would willingly subject themselves to that torture never failed to baffle Juvia.
But, when Juvia saw Cana in lace for the first time, she thought she understood.
Now, why Cana was wearing lace in the first place was beyond her (out of all the fabric types she could have chosen, Cana went with the one that snagged and scratched the skin until it was red and raw). But, with the way the delicate, dark blue lines spread across Cana's smooth skin, making her bronze skin glow, Juvia thought that maybe it was time to reevaluate the whole clothing nonsense.
Mind you, Juvia would always prefer Cana naked but, maybe humans weren't totally the silly idiots she thought they were. Then Juvia saw Cana in red lace and she realized she was wrong about everything.
Humans were the most brilliant creatures in the universe.
