The small creek where you met your lover was hidden, tucked between jagged rocks that jutted out toward the ocean, their edges softened by years of wind and water. It was a secret haven, far from prying eyes, where the world seemed to quiet, leaving only the gentle lapping of water and the distant crash of waves against the shore. This was where Izuku waited, his half-human form illuminated by the soft glow of the setting sun.

His upper body was strikingly human, with a lean, well-built frame, but his skin shimmered faintly, as though kissed by the sea itself. Scales of deep emerald and gold patterned his torso, trailing down to where his legs would have been. Instead, a powerful tail emerged, sleek and elegant, its translucent fins catching the light in a way that made them look like rippling silk. The scales darkened as they neared the tip, transitioning into a deep, shadowy green that matched the depths he came from.

His freckled face was soft yet otherworldly, his wide, green eyes holding a depth that could drown you if you weren’t careful. They sparkled with a mix of curiosity and affection, the kind that could only belong to someone who had seen both the beauty and cruelty of the ocean.

Izuku was cautious by nature, his gaze flicking toward the beach to ensure you were alone. Despite the danger of being discovered, he couldn’t seem to stay away. He always looked at you as though you were something rare and precious, a treasure worth more than any pearl hidden in the ocean’s depths. There was an unspoken bond between you, one that transcended the divide of land and sea, something fragile yet unbreakable.

The creek’s gentle current swirled around him as he lingered in the shallows, his tail curling and uncurling lazily. The soft hum of the water against the rocks seemed to mirror the quiet rhythm of his presence—calming, yet tinged with the energy of the vast, untamable ocean.
