Hey guys! Well, I finally went back to school after the strike... SO MUCH FRENCH HOMEWORK! AAAGH! Why can't Hetalia characters be real? France is a pervert but I'm sure he would help a lot with my French homework :3

Alfred's tail swiftly moved back and forth keeping the two above water.
Alfred bit his lip, he was torn between fear of what trouble he would get in if anyone found out, guilt for the man getting shot protecting him, and overwhelmingly excited about the fact that he was holding a real human!
Being the optimistic guy he was, Alfred went with the third one.
He grinned wide "This is so awesome..." he mumbled he readjusted the man in his arms so one arm held his head to his chest and above water while the other arm hooked under the man's knees.
Alfred smiled at the thought of checking out those legs later, he'd seen them from a distance but never up close.
He looked the man over, he was breathing which was great but he kept shivering... hm, he knew humans shouldn't be in the water too long and his boat was destroyed so Alfred had only one choice. Take him to the small island, and he knew exactly where!
There was a nice cove near the underwater cave he lived in with Mathew and the rest of their little group...
Ah the group, should he tell them about the human? What would they do? He stuck out his lip in thought as he began swimming towards the island carefully keeping the human's head above the water.
About halfway back to the island, Alfred noticed the thin figure in his arm began to shift a little, oh man was the human waking up? What should he do!
Alfred swallowed hard as he glanced down to the human. His eyes were fluttering open to reveal beatiful deep green eyes a small groan escaping his lips. As soon as the man woke up he tensed and shivered.
Alfred tightened his grip slightly, surprised at the sudden shiver. "Hey you okay?" he asked. The man nodded slowly, a little dazed "...'m cold... who're you..?" he mumbled glancing st Alfred.
When they made eye contact, Alfred couldn't help but blush a little "M-Me? I'm the hero of course! Ah, but you can call me Alfred!" he grinned, "Sorry it's cold, we'll get to my cove real soon, what's your name?"
The man frowned "...cove? What..? Ah... 'm Arthur..." he mumbled "How can you swim..? 'S cold..." he shivered again. Alfred smiled awkwardly "Uhh... yeah, I'm a really good swimmer..." he chuckled.
Arthur slumped against Alfred's chest "Fuck... my head's killing me..." he groaned, Alfred swam a little faster, the island now in view and not too far away, "Well" Alfred started "I don't blame you for a sore here and there... you did kind of get blown up."
Arthur frowned " 'Blown up?' Damn..." he winced "...though that would explain why I'm so sore..."
"Don't worry I'll help you with your injuries later..." Alfred smirked "Sorry about those douchebags on the boat, what was their problem anyways?"
Arthur groaned "Oh bloody hell" Alfred stiffled a giggle at the man's English accent, Arthur continued "Oh yes... they got pissed 'bout some sort of mermaid I helped escape." Arthur chuckled dryly, Idiots... he thought, As if something like mermaids are real... bloody gits, all of them!
"Oh ya' thanks for that!" Alfred chimed.
Arthur blinked. Thanks for what..? The only person who would thank him was the 'mermaid' he had 'saved'... but they weren't real right. Arthur's eyes went wide as realization slowly took over.
"...A-Alfred..."
"Hm?"
"...sh-show me your l-legs..."
Alfred laughed "Legs? Haha I don't have legs!" he flipped his tail above the water quickly, giving Arthur a quick look at his blue fin.
Arthur visably paled, stuttering as he found himself unable to form words, his eyes wide. Alfred smiled awkwardly "Oh yeah and it's kinda forbidden for humans and mermen to meet so uh... shh~" he smiled and place a finger to his lips.
Arthur tensed "Y-You idiot, why would you save me if it was the law not too!" he cursed. Alfred smiled "Cause I'm the hero!"
Arthur looked away "Well, it's definatly the most heroic thing anyone's done for me..." he had a sad look in his eyes. Alfred frowned "What's wrong?"
Arthur blinked out of his daze "N-Nothing I'm fine..." Alfred was curious but sensed the man didn't want to talk about it, he would ask later.
Alfred smiled as he sped up for the last length back to the shore of the island's cove. "Oh! We're here!" he chimed. Arthur rolled his head to the side to gaze at the island.
Land. It seemed so beatiful after being lost at sea for so long...
Alfred dragged Arthur on shore until only his feet and lower legs were still in within reach of the waves. Arthur sighed happily at the feeling of solid ground below him.
Alfred grinned at his work. The human, Arthur, was not dead and out of water! Great! What else did humans need... food and fresh water. Alfred frowned why only fresh water... salt water was everywhere but where would he get fresh water? Oh yeah, Mathew liked collecting it didn't he? Maybe he could get Mattie to share some...
He glanced towards his human friend "Uh, I guess you need food and water right? So uh... I guess I'll go find some so...uh you just wait here and sleep or something." he explained. Arthur nodded in a daze, he had gone through so much, sleep sounded heavonly.
Alfred watched as all of Arthur's muscles seemed to loosen, his eyes slipped close and his breathing evened out in sleep before wriggling back into the water, trying to think of how to explain all this to his brother without getting busted for talking to a human.
Alfred quickly swam around the edge of the island before diving down to the underwater cave he and his 'family' called home.
He swam into the cave, noticing at the moment everyone was home including his brother Mathew.
Their small group was made up of people who were either abondoned by their old group or just decided to leave on their own.
There was another set of brothers other than Alfred and Mathew, they came from the coasts of Germany but left after their group started treating the elder of the two, Gilbert, badly due to his odd looks as he was albino with a pearl white tail while everyone else in their group had sky blue tails.
The younger of the two, Ludwig, felt they needed to leave when Alfred invited them to join his own pod. Ludwig was sick and tired of people treating Gilbert badly so they left their group and began travelling with Alfred and Mathew.
Aftew that they found a strange purple-tailed French merman who had been kicked out of his pod for sexually harrassing all the others in his pod. Mathew Gilbert and Ludwig thought it was creepy but Alfred thought it was hilarious so he let Francis join their group, soon everyone grew to like the charming (yet perverted) merman.
They later found a strange trio wandering around Italy, two of course were Italian with matching red tails. They were the third set of brothers, Felinciano and Lovino. The third was a cheerful spaniard with a darker red tail that had found the other two when the three of them were little. Being three years older he had decided to take care of the Italian brothers.
The group of eight then retired to a nice underwater cave connected to a beatuiful yet deserted island. The only problem was a strange merman who lived on the other side of the island.
His tail was colorless, a light grey, same as his hair. The most colorful thing about him was his innocent looking purple eyes. His name was Ivan.
Though the strange group of outcasts and misfits didn't care to much about rules (particularly Alfred who had just recently commited the most serious crime possible, interacting with humans) but Ivan on the other hand followed every law he knew.
Alfred shuddered, if Ivan ever found out about Arthur... well he didn't want to think about it.
Alfred swam past everyone quietly right up to Mathew "Uh Matt you have any fresh water I can have?" Mathew raised an eyebrow "Um yes, I collected some last time it rained... but why do you need it?"
Alfred laughed nervously "O-Oh uh... well I have... a problem and um... just... I just need the water 'k dude?" Mathew twirled the bottle in his fingers "Tell me why and I'll give you the water."
Alfred glanced around, everyone was looking at them. "Uhhhh... Okay just, come with me. It's hard to explain so I'll show you!" Alfred said. Mathew sighed but nodded following Alfred out.
Poor Mathew never knew what he was in for when he followed his brother out the door.
