Chapter 1: Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time, on an island far away from here, lived a kind king and queen. No one could remember how and when their people had settled there. Yet, they had. And after several generations, the kingdom of Arkadia was thriving.
Eight years before, Queen Abigail had given birth to a beautiful little girl. With flaxen hair and eyes bluer than the sea, the princess was her parents’ pride and joy. The kindness of her heart was unmatched, and the happy child was loved by all who had met her.
After years of unsuccessful attempts, the queen was, at last, pregnant once more. Princess Clarke could hardly contain her excitement at the thought that she would soon be a big sister. All in all, life was good, and the Arkadians wanted for nothing.
The fly in the ointment, however, were the creatures that inhabited the sea surrounding the kingdom. At first, few incidents had been reported between the mermaids and the Arkadians. Alas, as the island prospered and more ships began to thread the waters, the relationship between the two species worsened. Before long, war broke out, and many vessels never returned to the harbor.
--
On a beautiful summer afternoon, Clarke was left to her own devices. As the queen, soon to give birth, required more attention from the servants, the princess was free to explore the palace. The guards watched her as she passed by, but none bothered her. The royal family was well-loved, and, apart from the sea creatures, no danger threatened the life of the island’s inhabitants.
Tired as she was of roaming through the same corridors every day, Clarke wished for a change of scenery. The weather was beautiful, and the sweet breeze coming from the open sea called at her. She hurried out of her home with light steps and climbed down the stone stairs leading outside. She did not stop until she was standing in front of the salty water.
Despite the dangers that she knew resided under, the sea was enchanting. With the sunlight, it seemed to glisten. Millions of diamonds danced up and down as far as she could see. Small waves came licking at the earth before drawing back, the tides as eternal as the moon commanding them.
Clarke remained there, her feet buried in the sand, her eyes taking it all in. She had found herself by the cove nearing the palace. To her left, she could see the harbor and hear the many shouts and sounds accompanying any human activity. Ships of various sizes entered and exited, although most were moored. To her right, the small gap leading to the open sea was well-guarded.
The eight-year-old was about to turn around and return home when something caught her attention.
On one side, among half-submerged rocks, a shape moved. At first, Clarke assumed that it was a large fish. However, as she walked closer, surprise and then fear flooded her veins. A mermaid, one of their sworn enemies, lurked in the water less than a few meters away from the shore.

Hiccup has always known he was different. He can never put his finger on the reason why, it's just that no matter where he is he feels like a fish out of water. The only one who truly understands is Toothless, the only Night Fury around for miles.
He doesn't feel like he belongs anywhere. The closest he has come to relating to anyone, is that mermaid in the tank.

THIS! PIECE! TOOK! ALL! DAY!
Taking inspiration from @mdoodlerfandomart's mermay prompt list and chose to go with the prompt "Aquarium." I might've let myself be inspired by the "teenage boy/girl is actually a merman/mermaid" trope.

Hear me out....A Modern Little Mermaid AU with SatoSugu, with you being their 'Prince Eric.'
Humans had always fascinated them. They were curious about human technology and society, collecting any trinkets and gadgets that sank down to them.
However, that fondness didn't extend to human males. To them, they were weak, a hindrance to their species instead of an enhancer. Among merfolk, females outnumbered the males, but mermen were responsible for leading, hunting, and protecting. Their efforts were rewarded with harems.
However, Satoru and Suguru were different. They weren't interested in women of their species, and rejected the clan lifestyle. Being ocean nomads were more ideal. Many merfolk didn't understand them. They were strong, handsome, and outgoing, yet they chose to mate with each other instead of taking a gaggle of willing women.
Don't get them wrong, they wanted a woman, just of a different species.
The same traits that made them look down on men made them obsessed with human women. Mermaids were lean and muscular, meant to survive in the harsh oceans. Human women were softer and curvier, made to be held and bred. The weakness of your species was disgusting for males, but ensured their chosen woman would never get away.
When they saw you on a boat looking pretty, lounging in the sun wearing only a little bathing suit, they're instantly smitten. Your pretty face, soft, curvy body, skin wet from swimming, all of it made their mouth water. After minutes of staring at you, they looked at each other, having a full conversation with their expressions alone. Once they looked back to you, they weren't too pleased to see that a man had joined you. When you smiled and kissed him, Suguru had to slap a hand over Satoru's mouth. It took soothing whispers from his mate to calm the albino.
Was it love at first sight? No, but one glance at you inspired intense lust, and they'd employ any trick possible to satiate it.
