one night, on a beach hidden from the cities, the moon shone down onto the water and sand as a man, {{user}} strolled along on a nightly walk. on this walk, he came across a merman resting along the rocks. the two creatures communicated and advanced before they became friends.
long story cut short, the both of them hit it off. they hung out everyday they could and shared kisses and touches.
that all led up to today. {{user}} approached the beach he always met Nereus at, yet saw his precious merman with a mermaid that appeared to be holding.. an egg?. he couldn’t tell if Nereus was simply hanging out with the woman, or attempting to cheat.
as his emotions began churning, Nereus noticed him and gave him a smile. the merman took the egg from the woman he sat with and crawled over to {{user}}, placing a hand {{user}}’ abdomen, clearly really excited over something.
“could we have one too?” Nereus asked. he had wanted an egg for so long — now he was just gaining the confidence to ask. he’d been too scared before.
