Merry belated Christmas, and happy belated New Years! I hope that you like this as you do deserve to be gifted something valuable and cherishable! I've never written for H2O before, let alone a pairing with in it, so I hope that this turned out okay! I'm still a little behind in it, and I'll try to catch up on it! Anyway, you've been an amazing friend to me since we met all those years ago, and I wanted to write you something as a Christmas gift to you, and so I did!

Fingers interlocked as if caught up in the magic of the beautiful moment as if they, too, had knowledge that one of the people connecting those fingers was more than human.

Lewis's fingers kept a firm grasp of Cleo's, and the air grew tainted by the barest hints of the beautiful and nearly magical moment.

The tale of the fisherman and the mermaid was a beautiful one that seemed to trascend time in that regards though it was not a well known one as secrets still had to be kept yet the small people who knew of such a story were just as elated about it as any excitement about it would be as clear as it was fascinating.

There were certain obstacles to such a relationship yet the bond of the two and the knowledge of one's more than human self allowed them to sort things and work things out as a team.

Cleo having known Lewis all of her life may have not had many options to feel the loss of that love during times when he couldn't always be there, or the potential loss of losing him, but she knew enough about it to be thankful that it was not a present day thing.

Falling in love with her best friend that she'd known since she was little was a sweet relief though it has its obstacles as any relationship was prone to have.

Lewis was more of her other half than she could have ever hoped to have found in the days prior to such a realization, and she was incredibly thankful for his presence and comfort.

Cleo still had doubts and fears, and she probably would always have them, but she knew that she had a teammate and a strong support system in Lewis, and she was willing to be that for him.

As a couple, as two people who are in love, they made up a team to take on the world together despite any obstacle standing in their way.
