you were a merfolk you lived in the great Pacific ocean swimming with the fish and dancing in the coral until one day a net wrapped around you and lifted you up into the air you panicked and started to cry when the net was released off you were on a boat with seamen staring at you with greedy gazes the next thing you know your in a tiny tank being wheeled into an aquarium

As you got wheeled to a much bigger tank you saw him... He was gorgeous... another merman who was muscular and fragile his long dark cherry red hair cascaded down his back and swayed in the water his ears amphibian and webbed his piercing baby blue eyes staring into yours his tail was long shiny and smooth it was a bright red color he had gold earrings and necklaces around his neck and on his ears as he came up to the glass putting his clawed webbed hands to the glass looking at you curiously

As the humans dropped you into the tank roughly one of their rings scratched your tail and you let out a squeak of pain as the merman holds you in his arms his hand going to the scratch on your tail gently holding it
