A.N.

I just got back from the beach, (sort of), and I was thinking...sand, mer(man's) and water hahahaha. I of course suffered from freaking sunburns, so enjoy!

-LINE-

Watching out the window I see us get closer and closer to the rolling blue waves. Excitement trickles through my insides, but I keep a blank face on me and stare at peek at the others with me. Shiki was the one who originally got the idea to go to the beach but we didn't get it started til the end of school.

Beat is the one with awesome car, and thank goodness his and Rhymes' parents are letting us borrow the lake house of theirs. If you didn't guess by the little input I've said by now, well the Bito family is loaded with cash, which is weird as to why they have befriended us in the first place. Well never mind that, it seems like we are finally here.

Helping Beat with the cooler and some of the other foods we brought the girls get the suit cases and we unpack a little. As Shiki and Rhyme go and change into their swim suits, Beat and I sit in the smallish living room. I mean it has a huge tv and other stuff but it is way smaller than the one they have at home.

"Hey Neku, do you think I have a shot with asking Shiki out?" Beat asks me, and I start choking on my soda. Wow I would never have thought that Beat had it hard for Shiki.

I then think about all the times I've caught him being all funny around her and I think he is in love with her. "Yeah." I say finally calmed down. "Why don't you try at the bonfire tonight?"

"Oh thanks bro! Do you need any girl help?" He asks, smiling a 1,000 watt smile.

"Why would I need girl help?" I ask sipping my drink. "I'm gay, you never remember that do you?" And I laugh a bit. It's okay that he doesn't it's not like I flaunt that part of me.

"My bad. And it's okay right? Maybe you can find a dude for you here too!" He says with a grin and we here the girls come down the stairs. "Let's go then!"

Grabbing my big inner tube, I jump with everybody back into the car and we drive a short way to the beach. "We gonna meet back here at 5 then that sound cool?" Beat asks, giving us about two hours to play around.

I shake my head as the girls agree, and I split up away from them. Feeling the sand between my toes I smile. Being at the beach is one of the most awesomest things ever. Looking at my generic big blue tube I take my sunglasses out and on my face, and straighten my swim shorts down. I hope on top of it and go relaxing in the cool blue sea.

Staring up I watch the clouds, floating on the tube, as my feet dangle in the sea. Pure bliss. Shutting my eyes I finally relax and loosen my muscles some.

Blinking them wide open though, I think that something touched my foot. Lifting it up I wiggle my 5 little pigs, maybe just my imagination I scoff off, and drop it back into the water. Trailing my hand in, I get another startle when somebody grabs at it. Quickly looking over I see a boy, possibly around my age smiling.

"You're perfect." He says, reaching up with the help of the tube to take the sunglasses off of me and kiss my mouth fully. I open my mouth in surprise, and that is when he takes it farther and slips his tongue in. A surprising moan comes out of me, and then he is off of me.

"Hey...what gives." I say to him, as he slightly swims off but I can still see him above the water.

"I just saw something pretty, you, and now your mine." He responds swimming up hanging on my tube.

"I'm not your anything, who the hell are you?"

"You can just call me Joshua, or lover either or really." The Joshua smirks.

"I'm fine with just saying Josh." I sigh, wondering why I get the loons. "Now why the hell did you fucking kiss me?"

"Because I wanted you for mine and it could only happen with my first kiss." Josh answers, picking up one of my feet. "Now what is your name tell me now."

"Fine, it's Neku." And I laugh as he tickles my foot. "Stop that, it tickles!" I say, trying to wiggle out of his hold.

"What's these?" He asks, keeping a hold on my feet anyway.

"Umm feet, toes, ankle, what do you mean? They are just like yours aren't they?"

Frowning Joshua leans on the inner tube. "Nope, I'm a merman I've got a tail." With a flip he shows me what he means. Beautiful scales of different purples and silvers shine up at me, making me want to touch them.

"They look beautiful...wait there are such things as Merman's and Mermaid's?" And I slightly twist wrong on the tube and fall into the water, great. Hands come around me holding me in the water away from the tube.

"Yeah there is, would you like to come see? I can show you off as my 'wifey'." Joshua chuckles, keeping us buoyant.

"Unlike you I can't swim underwater." I say, pushing my hands on his shoulders. He feels so soft, am I dreaming this all up.

"True, then I'll have to get some legs and get you use to the water and make a potion up." His laughs come out of his perfect mouth, making shivers go through my body. What the bloody hell is up with me.

"I want to go back to the beach." I say, trying not to get anymore heated up. How the heck would a human and a merman...do it anyway.

A blank face comes over him and he sighs. "I can do that I guess, but don't be afraid with me dear~"

I climb through the middle of the tube, and Joshua starts to pull me back. Dang I can't believe I drifted all the way out there.

"And Neku." Josh quickly says, stopping me close enough. "You wear this for me so that if you need, want, or whatever with me all you got to do is kiss the stone." And he ties a necklace around my neck.

"Oka-" I begin before he pulls me down underwater to lock lips with me again. When his tongue comes into my mouth this time, he shoves something into me, making me swallow. Coughing some, I breathe fresh air again. "What was that?" I yell, clutching at my throat.

"I'll tell you in good time Neku. See you sooner than later." Then he dives under the water and disappears.

Stepping out of the water I deflate the inner tube, and check my phone, about 3 minutes til 5. Waiting for them, I dry off, wondering everything that happened...maybe it was a weird daydream I reason, but don't believe that half baked lie.

The rest of the gang come back smiling and together we join the other teens and people at the big bonfire. Yanking my shirt on, I walk with them grab some food, and sort of start to enjoy myself. I watch as Beat and Shiki seem to talk and maybe he is asking her out finally. Sitting at the bench, I see Rhyme is also getting her some with a few of the people here. Lightly rubbing at the necklace that was given to me before I sit on the concrete slab. Somebody then thumps next to me, and pulls me close.

"Miss me?" He asks and I look up into purple eyes.

"No." I scoff, even though I...sort of had been surprisingly. "So legs?" I ask poking them.

"Yep, I've had some before but I didn't really see the enjoyment of them. At least till I saw you." And he kisses my forehead.

"Right." I remark, my heart thumping. What now?

"It seems pretty nice up here tonight. Who are you with Nekky?"

"Just my friends Beat, Shiki, and Rhyme. Though we're staying at Beats' and Rhyme's lake house." I point each of them out then he takes my hand.

"You think there is enough room for me too?" Josh asks with a smirk.

"Maybe...why?" I ask, turning to look at him.

"So that we can have some fun in bed tonight." Josh says licking my neck.

"What..." I freeze then shiver at his licking turning into biting.

"Let's see what we can do then." He purrs, rubbing down my back. I close my eyes, and think about what this merman is going to be doing with me in the future. Smiling I believe it will all feel nice.
