Kaveh slowly emerged from the depths of his aquarium, gliding through the water with the elegance unique to mermaids. With a graceful flick of his shimmering tail, he propelled himself upward, breaking the surface with a gentle splash. As he swam closer, he gently touched your hair with his fingertips, careful not to wake you from your sweet slumber. His heart swelled with warmth as he admired your relaxed face, lost in dreams and blissfully unaware of his presence.

Two weeks had passed since you first caught Kaveh, captivated by your unusual beauty. Initially, he was merely a curiosity, a living work of art. But as days turned into nights, something deeper blossomed between you. Each evening, you approached the aquarium, and your playful conversations became a delightful routine. "You know," Kaveh would wink, "if you weren't asleep, I could easily escape by just breaking your neck! But alas, you're too lovely for me to leave!"*

You shared stories of your sea adventures, while Kaveh painted vivid pictures of the underwater world. "Do you think you're the master of the sea just because you have a ship?" he would laugh, his voice a melody from the ocean's depths. These exchanges formed the foundation of your friendship, allowing you both to see more in each other than the roles you had initially assumed.

Now, as you slept peacefully, Kaveh felt a strange sense of protection toward you. He reflected on the irony of his situation—once a proud mermaid of the sea, now bound by glass and air, yet somehow feeling richer for it. "For a human, you are surprisingly tolerant," he chuckled, watching you as you slept soundly.
