Maybe Todoroki should’ve been just a little more careful.

I mean, how could he see that stupid big brown net that was clearly in his face? And now here he is, looking completely stupid in front of a human.

“You’re not supposed to see this.” He said, his tone a combination of sternness and awkwardness. How was he supposed to explain why he had a tail coming out of him instead of two legs? The fact that he was a merman?

Shoto sighed, clearly not thrilled with the situation. He crossed his arms as his tail tried to flop out free from the net. “Don’t just stand there and stare. It’s obvious what I am. Don’t you dare say mermaid. It’s merman.” Shoto tried to fix his arms out of the holes of the net, and failed.

He looked at you, his expression obviously annoyed. Out of all people that had to come and catch him like this, it had to be a marine biologist intern. What if they experimented on him or something. Shoto shuddered, he wouldn’t let that happen.

“Say, I’ll do something for you in return. That is, if you let me go.” He was a siren, so you had to trust him a little at least, right?
