Sing Me A Song (Pirate Tord x Siren Reader)
It was a beautiful day for you to be out frolicking out in the vast expanse of the place you called home. The sea was such a large and wonderful place for your kind. You were a siren. You had a beautiful white tail and white frilled ears. You loved to sing songs randomly to other fish and merfolk. You didn't like to kill and drag people into the ocean much like your kin did.
You wanted to explore the human world above, but your family forbade you to do so because they feared you would end up as a trophy by some humans. You didn't like being told what to so you rebelled only today to go up to the surface and see the world. One of your friends knew what you would be doing so they stuck with you.
"Y/N, let's go back! We'll be in trouble if we get caught!" Matilda had whined, thinking about her friends and your family. You were all pretty much related since you were always together, but Matilda wasn't a siren. She was a mermaid. She was royal one at that, she lived in a palace with her family. Matilda was very pretty, with her long billowing orange hair that sparkled a little in the water and her gorgeous blue eyes. She had a beautiful purple tail and fins. She was the definition of beauty whereas you looked like a terrible sea monster that dragged people in to their doom.
"We'll be fine! I've done this plenty of times before! Chill! I just want to see the humans today! I hear there's gonna be a pirate ship floating through our waters! I wanna see the captain!" You gushed excitedly to your friend with sparkles in your eyes. You floated to the top, poking your head out of the water to see there was indeed a pirate ship in view. You flipped your tail underneath the water in joy, going back down underneath the water. "I see a ship!"
Matilda smiled nervously, "That's great! Can we go now?" She looked around the small cove you both were in, hiding from the rest of the ocean life so they wouldn't tell on you.
"I wanna see the captain! Then we can go, I promise." You smiled, showing your fangs at her. You zipped back up into the surface world and rested on the wooden front of the docked ship. You smiled in wonder as you looked at the humans walking about and talking while you looked for the so called captain.
You had heard about this particular pirate ship called 'The Red Army', and you were so determined to find it because the captain who led it was supposed to be fierce and strong. Also everyone called him attractive, and you wanted to be the judge of that. You peered through little wooden rails, hoping to find the said captain.
Two older men were talking, they seemed to be first hand men on the ship because they were dressed in a high ranking uniform. You tried to eavesdrop on them with your super keen hearing, but you were startled by a growling noise in front of you. You squeaked, seeing a very large and oddly purple colored mutt in front of you. It didn't look normal to be a dog, and so you thought it was a weird monster that the humans kept around. "Uh.. hello?"
The monster roared at you, grabbing you by the arm, and yanking you up on the deck. It sniffed at you, sitting back and watching you curiously.
You were startled by the monster mutt, and terrified to be on the human pirate ship. You wanted to go home just like Matilda had suggested. Why didn't you listen to her? You looked around you to see the men on the ship staring at you in shock. Some dropped their things, and others just poured out whatever they had in their drinking bottles. You were scared.
One of the two older men ran towards a door near the back of the ship, and yelling at someone. He came back with a man dressed up in a pirate outfit, that looked a little attractive. He had burns on the right side of his body and his face, while his whole right arm was a red shiny metallic material. He had an eyepatch around his right eye, and a lone silver eye staring directly at you with interest. This must be the Red Leader everyone had been talking about back home.
You shivered under the gaze of so many people staring at you as you scooted back, trying to slip through the railing again to see Matilda staring at you from the water below in concern.
"Y/N?! Are you ok?" Matilda shouted in worry. Her eyes grew wide in fear as she saw the man behind you.
"MATILDA, GO HOME RIGHT NOW!" You yelled at her, feeling a hand enclose around your neck as you let out a strangled squeak. You watched as she fled back into the safety of your watery home, a home you'll never probably see again now that you were aboard this ship.
"Vel, vel, vel... What do we have here? A mermaid?" The captain spoke in a heavy accent you didn't recognize. It was alluring, but you were a siren, so you couldn't be tricked with that. He grabbed something and tied your hands up with it, bending down to lift you back up to his chest as he carried you to a room. "Lar se hva vi har." He muttered, as you were knocked out something unseen.
You awoken to find yourself in a bathtub filled to the brim with water. It was a huge bathtub so you could swim freely around in it with ease. "W... Where am I?" You asked yourself aloud, peering around the room. It didn't seem so bad, human things everywhere fascinated you greatly.
"Så du er endelig våkne liten sirene." The strong accented voice jolted you from your thoughts. The man from before kneeled in front of the bathtub in a friendly manner, sitting down on the wooden floor as he propped both of his arms up so he could lay on them as he stared at you. "You are so interesting." He mused.
You hissed at him, baring your fangs at him to try and scare him off. It worked on most humans, so you thought you would give it a try to this very intimidating man before you. You couldn't escape this man because there was nowhere to run. The humans on the deck would catch you immediately and then there was that monster mutt from before.
"I never knew mermaids had fangs and razor sharp claws. You aren't a mermaid are you?" He asked, moving in closer to you. "Your skin is very pale and your body is littered in scars." He mumbled to himself, assessing you.
You felt odd. This man didn't have a threatening aura surrounding him as most humans did. You felt comfortable with him, but you didn't let your guard down one bit. "What do you want?" You asked.
"I want you." He simply said with ease; it caused your face to turn red. He chuckled at your response. "I want to get to know you more." He played with a lock of your hair in his fingers for a minute. "You seem so very interesting and mysterious, a rare find." He whispered.
You backed away from him, hitting the back of the bathtub rim. You were feeling a little flustered. You didn't know what to do with this attractive human male before you. He was hypnotizing you. Imagine a human entrancing a siren, huh, that's a little funny. "R-Rare?" You stuttered.
He took off his clothes, leaving himself only in his trousers as he climbed into the bathtub with you. He inched closer to you, pulling you close to him as if he didn't give a fuck that he was cuddling a very dangerous predator in his arms. He probably didn't even know you were a siren in fact since he mistook you for a mermaid as most people do. "Du er en skatt." He whispered, using his red hand to lift up your chin. He blinked slowly, leaning in close to you.
You felt frizzled and embarrassed. You didn't know what to do. This had never happened to you before because most merfolk didn't like the way you looked. You weren't even considered pretty among your own kin in fact.
The man leaned in closer, kissing you on the lips gently as he slipped his tongue into your mouth. He was careful of your fangs as he pulled back, a trail of saliva connecting your lips for a minute before dissipating into nothing. He smirked, seeing your flustered expression. "What are you?"
"A-A-A... I'm a siren." You squeaked out, blushing massively due to the fact that this human kissed you so passionately even though he just met you. You had probably fallen hard for this man. A man that kidnapped you and had taken you away from your ocean home, away from your friends and family. You tried to look away from him, but his grip on your chin pulled you back to stare into his lone silver eye. As if lost in thought, you reached up and touched his scarred face.
He blinked, "I got these from your kind." He simply stated. He guided your hand down to his neck and then down to his chest. "I fell into the water, and they tried to kill me. I got away and was left without a right hand, and horrible scars on my body. But now everyone fears me because I am the great Red Leader of the Red Army pirates." His accent lulled you into a sense of safety.
"You don't look bad though." You mumbled a little.
"Oh?" He chuckled, laying his chin on the top of your head. "You just met me elskling."
"You just me too, but you kissed me." You retorted.
He laughed, a rumbling sound in his chest as he hummed. "What is your name?"
"Y/N." You replied, blinking a little.
"No last name?"
"We sirens do not use last names. We all are considered family no matter where we hail from. Only merfolk use last names. And it is easy to tell me apart from everyone else because of my pale complexion." You stated. "What's your name?"
"My name is Tord Karlsen. I am the captain of this vessel." Tord smugly stated as he looked down at your fins and tail. "What's the difference between a siren and a mermaid?"
"Mermaids are beautiful creatures that attract the attention of alot of men and women. Mermen as well, but most people go after the mermaids. Their voices like angels, and it is usually said in human lore that mermaids grant wishes." You explained. You hesitated, remembering yourself and what your species usually did. "Sirens are, we are kinda pretty, but we are killers. We lure humans, namely men, into the oceans with our songs and prey on their bodies for sustenance. I am not as beautiful as my kin because I am an albino siren." You sighed.
"You are beautiful though." Tord stated, nudging your face up to look at him as he leaned in and kissed your forehead. "I think you're beautiful, doesn't matter if you are albino. I'm lucky to find you." He smiled. "Could you sing me a song?"
You tilted your head. "Why?"
"I want to hear your singing voice. I want to judge it for myself to see if you have a bad voice, which I really doubt." Tord replied. "Do you know any human songs?"
You closed your eyes for a moment. "I know plenty of human songs, but I don't know if the one I want to sing is appropriate."
"It'll be fine."
"Ooh death. Whooooah death. Won't you spare me over 'til a another year?
Well what is this that I cant see. With ice cold hands taking hold of me
Well I am death none can excel. I'll open the door to heaven or hell
Whoa death someone would pray. Could you wait to call me another day
The children prayed the preacher preached, Time and mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet so you can't walk, I'll lock your jaw so you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you cant see. This very hour come and go with me
Death I come to take the soul. Leave the body and leave it cold
To drop the flesh up off the frame. Dirt and worm both have a claim
Ooh death. Whooooah death. Won't you spare me over 'til a another year?
My mother came to my bed. Placed a cold towel up on my head
My head is warm my feet are cold. Death is moving upon my soul
Oh death how you treating me. You closed my eyes so I can't see
Well you hurting my body you make cold. You run my life right out of my soul
Oh death please consider my age. Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command. If you will move your icy hands
Oh the young, the rich, or poor. How will like me no (?)
No wealth no land no silver or gold. Nothing satisfies me but your soul
Ooh death. Whooooah death
Won't you spare me over 'til a another year? Won't you spare me over 'til a another year? Won't you spare me over 'til a another year?" You finished singing the human song you had heard from many years ago. You strangely liked it. You felt a pair of hands encircle your waist, and a head propped on your shoulder.
"That was beautiful. You're voice is probably better than those mermaids. I think you're beautiful." Tord stated.
Your face was red as hell, and you turned your head to the side and kissed his cheek quickly before hiding your face with your hands. You made indistinguishable noises.
"I love you too, elskling."
Vel, vel, vel = well, well, well
Lar se hva vi har. = lets see what we have here
Så du er endelig våkne liten sirene. = so you're finally awake little siren
Du er en skatt. = you are a treasure
elskling = darling
