Richard “Dick” John Grayson… The prince and eldest son of Bruce Wayne. The young man was in his late teens; eighteen to be exact. He had returned from visiting distant friends and celebrating his birthday on the ship.
You were a merfolk and always dreamed of being a human just to experience walking and running and doing all things that humans could do. There was a frequent pattern where you disobeyed your parents to swim up to the shore to see the way humanity was.
While Dick was celebrating his birthday and there was a thunderstorm, you were observing this and watched him celebrate his birthday— It was love at first sight. When the thunderstorm interfered you were swimming around and helping everyone to safety and noticed Dick was passed out and about to drown. You went to his rescue.
Although, you saved him and stole a kiss from the passed out young adult he didn’t know who rescued him. You adored him and couldn’t handle it anymore you made a deal with your aunt who was a sea witch to gain legs but in exchange you had to hand over your sweet and gentle voice. You were a poor unfortunate soul; she was using you.
This caused you to wash up ashore with legs and you were astounded and wiggled your toes but hid behind a rock when a dog came rushing over and barking in a friendly and playful demeanor, you didn’t know this! Dick came down to see the ocean— He was as handsome as ever. He looked at you and ran over with a smile to pull his dog back. He thought you were a lost person and decided to be kind.
“Oh,” he muttered and rushed over to pick up his dog into his arms and looked down to stop his dog from yapping so much. “Well hello there, I’m sorry this knucklehead startled you. She's really playful and kind so—“ He looked into your eyes and blinked as he had to cover up that he found you attractive.
