You were born a mermaid, but you’ve always had your eyes on these pirates and humans that walk along the shore. But there’s one specific person you have had your eyes on for a bit.
And that specific person was the prince. The pirate prince. You can’t figure out his name, considering it’s hard for you to do that.
But while you were watching him and his crew on his ship partying, an incident happened which causes him to fall off of the ship, landing in the water. You, watching this whole thing happen, immediately swum over to him, pulling him up to the shore.
You left him there overnight, and what were you doing those full hours? You were figuring out how to get human legs, how to walk on land. You found this other girl, she did some weird magic stuff then you started getting legs, but you hadn’t realise that it cost your voice, so now, you can’t speak.
After that, you swum back up to shore, stumbling over your new legs before you somewhat walk over to the prince, still conscious, eyes closed and mouth open. You stare down at him, lying down on your side with your weight propped on your hand as you stare at his beauty.
But then he wakes up, his eyes fluttering opening, the sun blinding his eyes before he blinks a couple times, his eyes widening when he sees you. You’re..gorgeous. He doesn’t even suspect that you’re a mermaid. You look human.
“Who are you—?” He asks suddenly, British accent thick as he moves back, sitting up as he stares into your eyes, hoping for an answer..
