Work Text:

The world we know is mostly occupied by us - humans . But even if we are so sure about our exploring abilities, even if we are able to visit every country, to step on the highest mountains, to go to space, we still are just humans. And we still aren’t capable of capturing the beauty of the deepest and darkest places of our Oceans.  In one of those deepest areas of the ocean live creatures very similar to us. Humanoids with anatomy so close to ours, and yet so different with additional colors to their skin that do not occur in human DNA. With shapes so much prettier than the one we know, with markings on their skin so pretty that one would think it was put there on purpose instead of being just a simple birthmark. 

But it wasn’t only the colors that made them unique in their forms. The truth is: those creatures are so much different than it seems from above the water. Their lower parts of the body, the parts where we have two long limbs that let us move around the ground with ease, They have something different. They have one, two or even more limbs. Long and strong, More agile, more graceful, more majestic. Their limbs aren’t the ones we would call legs but ones that let them swim in the most terrifying places of the sea- tails. 

In the deeper part of the ocean on the rock covered bottom lay a place that one would call a kingdom if not for a fact that the place looked abandoned without the king that would rule the place, but on the bottom of the sea where sand already settled you could notice how busy the place was. A crowd of merman were swimming in hurry getting ready for the great event of their culture: a mating season. 

A different type of man, with the bottom half of the sea creatures, were preparing themselves for the evening. the pretty colors of the ocean being brighter than ever in this night, the moon hitting in the right place to make the bottom shine with beautiful colorful lights.

One of the preparing mermen was a young man with fins decorated in red colors that were not a match for the strong shark-like tail that should be gray but was dipped in red paint that perfectly matched man's markings on his face and well built arms. his hair deep red with a streak of blue his eyes light blue and smile so bright that it could shine in the dark. 

His tail was decorated in scars so deep and visible it ruined his perfect look. His tail wasn’t a pride of his body anymore. His scars were a shame to his look. He knew he didn’t have a chance to have a perfect match of his. 

 

The same man was very interested in one of the beautiful mermen that swam around the open space between tall rocks covered in dark sea grass and moss that made them even darker with dark green colors. Making the middle of the space seem even brighter than it was.

The man was a beautiful merman: Long hair, pretty eyes, beautiful pink lips and dancing this long long tail of his. He gulped seeing the pretty shaped scales with dark blue and purple markings on them. The mesmerizing Betta fish fins were also in the precious colors of blue pink and purple, his tail looking like the softest fabric swinging in the deep sea. God Jackie’s breath just stopped when seeing him. 

He sighed, folding himself on the top of rocks that were standing in the darker area trying to be close but also not visible for others that could judge his harmed tail. 

He was watching the other merman circling around the Betta like he was the queen of the show, and damn he did know how to show off for all of them to look as best as he could. 

 

Jackie was clearly pining for the man, knowing him from previous seasons when he was always surrounded by others and never he did leave with someone. For some reason the man was always putting his hand between others waving his long hair in a gesture of declining. And what Jackie was supposed to do? This man just declined the biggest, strongest and most powerful of them all. A ringed octopus tail- black with blue and red markings his form tall, his skin gray and so intimidating in the blue light you should hide. The man’s eyes were hard and proud. His voice was deep and terrifying, something that should tell you, you either kneel or run away from his aura. 

Jackie scoffed at seeing him. He was smaller, scarred and way less presentable. 

This beauty he was watching declined a man that was all Jackie would like to be. He whined and turned around swimming towards the big rock formation that was hidden between tall forests of kelp further away from the mating place. He whined laying down on the hard surface and flickered his tail in ager seeing how the red scars were just there, his shame his fucked up past. he cursed and hit the rock with his fist laying down and hiding his face under his hands hiding from the surounding him light.

 

When he was laying there for quite a while he felt someone's presence in the forest not far away from him. Worrying it could be a predator he prepared himself to attack if it would be needed. He straightened himself, his tail slapping on the rock like he was about to leap and catch whatever it was that wanted to approach him. 

And he did jump when a creature swam with grace between tall kelp and made itself visible in the small space Jackie was resting in.

The  creature smiled the most beautiful smile when Jackie stopped himself just mere millimeters in front of him. his nose almost touched the man's lips and tail almost hit the perfect fins of the other. Jackie licked his lips stunned by the view. The man that approached him was the very same beautiful man he was so interested in. A tall Betta fish with long hair and perfect silhouette, the man that Jackie was looking at looked like he was looking at the god himself. “God,” Jackie muttered and licked his lips. He flickered his tail trying to turn it so the scars won’t be visible. Of course it made his interest look directly onto his tail and notice every little imperfection. “I’ve heard a lot that I'm pretty but not even once was I referred to as God” The man joked and smiled. 

But what a voice and what a smile it was. Jackie gasped at the view. “Fuck” he said cause he sure was lost for words. 

 

“Yes, it’s what I came here for.” The man chuckled and looked down at the man’s form. His hand moved down to touch Jackie's abs to run his fingers up checking the body of the man. He moved his hand higher and opened it to lay it flat on his chest making it stay there for a while, waiting if his movements are accepted by the other. 

When the shark didn’t make any move to decline his courting. He looked up only to see the man looking back at him. And Marvin never felt more pretty than now. The man’s eyes were looking at him like he was the most mesmerizing fish in the entire ocean. He let out a nervous laugh, the cheeks rising with the soft smile that didn’t match his earlier sure demeanor. It looked more like Betta was relieved. Like he actually thought that he would be pushed away. 

He moved his hand higher to put it around the shark’s neck. and he smiled happily when the shark moved his head up to let him have control. He put his whole hand on the shark’s stretched neck and squeezed gently barely using any strength, just testing the waters he was swimming in. And damn was he pleased with reaction. The muscular man let out a soft short gasp that was clearly a pleased one and ended with a gentle bite to his lips 

He smiled and put his other hand on the shark’s body this time his fingers curved on his side and were petting there gently just moving up and down. His tail flickered in anticipation and it moved towards the shark-like one. But he didn’t get to touch it cause the shark moved his own further away trying to twist it in weird ways to hide the scars on it as much as possible. He looked from the jumping tail back to Jackie's eyes. Eyes that were now avoiding him looking down clearly ashamed. 

Marvins hand was still there under the man’s jaw and he didn’t like how it wasn’t free there with how the man's head lowered and didn’t let him full access. He knew what it meant so he took the hand away, not missing the whine that came from the shark’s lips. He made a move backwards to make space between them. His mesmerizing fins were almost floating in the water around them making it look like they were in the middle of the dance that Jackie was seeing earlier with so many other mermen that were swimming around Betta as they were all courting him and he declined all of them and now…now he was about to leave Jackie as well. 

But Jackie understood, he wasn’t presentable enough. He knew, so he said nothing. But even if he knew and should be accepting his hand still moved up to follow the other like he wanted to keep him in place no words just a small movement that he couldn’t fight over. 

He wanted Betta. He fell for the Betta. But he couldn’t have him. So he was about to force his hand down before it catched on the beautiful one only to find that the said hand held him back. Moving it up slowly. Marvin put the hand on his own jaw at first forcing the scarred fingers to lay flat on his almost white skin and he moved them up, slipping it under the long hair that seemed to always cover half of his face no matter how he moved in the water. Jackie felt the hand move up over Marvins cheek and higher over his eyes brushing the hair that was in the way just to the side. and he wasn’t prepared for the weird moment to make him gasp with the revelation. Seeing how the Betta in front of him had four long scars over his eyebrow, eyelid and cheek. Jackie cupped the other's face with both hands closing their distance to take a good look on the pretty face of the man. He couldn't believe how beautiful the man was, seeing how two colored pupils were looking back at him. showing him that the scars don't have anything to do with their choices. 

That no matter what the Betta tailed man was still interested in him. He let out a happy sound that was closer to a gasp than a laugh. And let himself make a move. Slow and controlled. He closed the distance between their lips and kissed the man he was so enamored by. His tail started flicking in happiness.

The Betta fish found it quite weird but was happy to see the positive reaction coming from the man. He moved his tail again and being gentle during the kiss he tried again to circle his pretty tail around the shark's scarred one. And this time. The strong Shark-like merman let him. Their tails tangled together their arms on each other and lips kissing one another. 

And Jackie was smiling throughout the kiss, his smile wide and contagious. So cute. And finally happy with the man he was so amazed by.
