SOTP: Hey guys! Chapter 6! I'm so glad you all like this! Disclamer: I own nothing

As the sun rose over the horizion the next day, Jack awoke to find that his fever was gone. He felt that he could breath easier and the sickly feeling he had was gone as well. Carly attacked him with a hug as he came down stairs, glad to know he was feeling better.

His mother was relived as well and his Father was grateful for his recovery. Everything seemed the same around Jack, and yet he felt slightly puzzled.
He couldn't help but wonder if last night was real or dream. Dispite his parents wanting him to inside for another day, Jack took a walk out on the beach. Hoping he would find Yusei waiting for him.

(Yusei, were you truly there last night comferting me? Or were you just a dream fueled by my disire of not wanting to be alone? My mermory feels foggy, the only thing I do know is that I want to see you again.)

Jack thought to himself as he sat down on the beach to watch the waves go in and out. Taking in the salty sea air.

A moment later he heard the sound of a flute coming from the court yard. Jack noticed the familur melody and quickly raced towards it. He stopped when he found Yusei sitting a rock next to the beach. He had only the tips of his sliver tail dipped in the water. Making a ripple of rainbow colors shine on the surface of the water when the sun hit his scales.

Jack thought it was the most beautiful site he had ever seen. More so than in any painting. Yusei stopped his playing and opened his eyes when he noticed someone was watching him. He smlied brightly to see that the person was Jack. Yusei was so glad when the human prince smiled back at him. Jack felt excited to Yusei again. He felt he could be himself when Yusei was around him.

"How are you feeling Jack?" Yusei asked.

"I'm better, thank you. I can't tell you how glad I was to see you last night. That, wasn't a dream was it?" Jack asked hesitanly while Yusei laughed.

"No Jack, I was really there. I'm suprized you recovered so quickly though."

"So am I. I honestly think you had something to do with it. The moment I opened my eyes to see you, I felt tremendesly at ease. It was almost as if seeing you gave me strength." Jack said thoughfuly.

Making Yusei blush slightly before he slid off his place on the rock and back into the water. He then decided to have some fun with Jack. So he dove underwater compeletly and waited till Jack's back was turned. He then resurfaced and splashed Jack with a wave of water from his tail.

"Hey, no fair!" Jack declared with laugher in voice.

"You let your gaurd down!" Yusei replided as he splashed Jack once more. Jack began to on the offencevie and splash Yusei back.

If you were to watch the scene yourself, you could have sworn that the two of them had know each other in another life. For they acted as if they were brothers. Despite having known eachother for such a short time.

After the quick splash fight, the two princes sat on the shore together. Close enough to the ocean so Yusei could still get water to his tail to breathe.

"Ah, that was fun. I honestly can't remember when I last had such a good time." Jack said as he gazed up at the sky.

"Yeah, me too. It was good to do this for once. I hardly ever get to just goof off."

"Why is that?" Jack ask curiously.

"I'm the son of the king of Neo Domino Atlantis. Everybody expects me to rule the ocean someday, so I always have to act refined around others. But I really don't care about any of that. I would rather just live a life where I can be myself."

Yusei said as he watched the waves go in and out. Jack listened to the merprince intently. Knowning full well how Yusei felt. How the pressures of royalty can take their toll on someone.

"I know what that's like. I don't mind it really. I know I have to rule the kindom someday and I'm fine with that. But the one thing that bothers me is that I have to choose someone to marry before I can take the throne. Everyone's been pressuring me to find someone and I can't stand it anymore!"

"I'm sorry. That sounds rough." Yusei said in simpathedicly.

"It is, but I'm glad I could share this with you. Your the first person who was willing to listen." Jack said as turned to Yusei with smile.

"Sure, I'm glad you feel comfertable enough to that with me." Yusei said.

With a smile of his own that made Jack's heart feel warm inside. He couldn't understand how or why he felt so comfertable around the merprince. However he did, and he was more than grateful that he met him. Yusei then got an idea and dove back into the water. After a few moments, he resurfaced again with something shining in his hand.

"Wanna come in?" Yusei asked with a glint of excitment in his eyes.

Jack nodded and removed his shoes and jacket, showing off his broad shoulders. Yusei took a small voilte jem on a string and placed it around Jack's neck. Making him blush slightly at the closeness.

"What's this for?" Jack asked as he studied the jewel.

"You'll see. Come on in."

Jack suddenly felt a strange sentasion as he took Yusei's hand. Like something exciting was about to happen.

When they went underwater, Jack's eyes widened in amazment. The world under the sea was so beautiful. From the different colored fish to the many different types of plant life. Jack couldn't help but smile wide at the interesting things all around him. Just then, a school of gold fish swam by and swam around Jack in a circle. Makin him laugh as one tickled his face. It was then Jack relized that he was able breath and looked at Yusei in surprize.

"How?" Jack asked in shock.

Yusei then pointed to his chest to mean the jem around Jack's neck. It was a magic stone that allowed humans to breath underwater. Jack smiled in awe at the wonderful things around never had a more amazing experince than exploring the ocean floor with Yusei.

Seeing all the different forms of life and beauty that were there. It was something Jack was sure he'd never forget.

A while later, Jack and Yusei laid side by side on the sand. Watching the other sea creatures swim by above them. Like coulds that floated in the sky. Yusei turned to Jack to see a warm, content smile on his face. It made Yusei happy that he could share apart of his world with Jack.

"So what do you think?" Yusei asked, breaking the silence.

"This is incredible! Everything seems so different than from on the surface. I'm enjoying every single minute of it." Jack told him excitedly.

"I was hoping you would. Out of all the places in the ocean ,this has always been the most special to me. This is where I feel the most calm." Yusei said as Jack looked at him with admiration in his eyes.

He couldn't get over how beautiful the merman looked just now as he spoke. It made something stir inside Jack. Something that made him feel an erge to get closer to Yusei. Jack then sat up and trapped Yusei with both arms, hovering over him. Yusei immedetly became caught in Jack's gaze as he smiled at him gently.

"I'm glad. It makes happy that you would want to share all of this wonder with just me Yusei. I feel very lucky to be with you." Jack said softly.

Those words alone struck Yusei like lighting. He felt so happy as he quickly wrapped his arms around Jack. A wide, bright smile on his face as wispered in Jack's ear.

"Thank you Jack, I feel the exacat same way. I wish I could do something else for you."

"You've done quite enough for me Yusei. Please, allow me, to give you something in return." Jack said as quickly pinned Yusei down once more.

Surprizing the young merman by tenderly stealing his first kiss...
