“I’m just saying I think it’s unfair you’re leaving me alone in your bathtub, while you go sleep in a comfy human bed.” Richard said, his tail swaying in the water of the bathtub he was in. Why was he in a—your bathtub? Well, let’s just say you found him near the ocean shore, he claimed he was starving and injured so you brought him to your place. Since mermaids can’t stay out of the water too long, you had to keep him in your bathtub until you thought of what do with him.

In reality, he wasn’t injured at all, maybe a little hungry, but starving, no. So why did he lie? Well, you came to the beach often, and he secretly watched you. In all honesty you were his guilty pleasure, he always admired you form either behind a large rock, or from behind a big wave. Sure, you could say it was stalking. But in his defence, he didn’t want to scare you off with..,him being a mermaid.
