Chap 11 - Mermaid
The sun was now beginning to set over the sparkling sea.
The couple was lying in the warm sand against the rocks.
"We're good here, aren't we?" the mermaid said with a smile.
"Mmmh.." replied Tony as he entwined his fingers with the woman's.
She turned her head and looked at him tenderly. His hair fluttered in the wind and he had a sincere, soothing smile.
She laid her head against him as he wrapped his arms around her and gently caressed her arm.
"I'm happy," she confided.
"And you?"
"I'm happy." Tony smiled.
She turned again to look at him and he placed a hand on the back of her neck looking at her lips.
The woman moved in to kiss him and as she approached she already felt her mermaid tail sparkled of love again.
But Tony's phone suddenly rang and distracted them from what was about to happen.
Tumblr media
Tony looked on reluctantly. This could be an emergency and he was always ready to help.
He sighed. " the investors for my project, they tell me they're ready to close the deal tonight if I go with them to the village party. I have to go," Tony said, standing up slowly.
"Okay.." the mermaid replied with a small disappointed smile.
"It won't take long." Reassured Tony as he kissed the back of her hand before pulling on a shirt. "I can assure you that this evening will be more boring for me than for you."
"Are you going to be okay?" She asked
"Honey I've been dealing with boring people since I was born" he reply and she laughed.
Then he left for the other side of the beach, to the village, where the lights were already beginning to come on for the celebrations.
Tumblr media
As Tony walked along the beach, he couldn't help but think how much he would rather stay with Y/N than go there.
But this project could save the world and he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice his happiness for it.
And he sincerely believed that Y/N would be good even without him.
He arrived at the meeting point. A pretty place half in the village, half on the beach, or was almost already installed all that it was necessary. Dance floor, tables, stage, and floral decorations.
They were children who played anf they stopped when they saw him.
"Iron Man!" said one of them, pointing at him with a big smile.
Tony smiled sincerely and gave him a little wave of the hand.
Then he walked a little further into the crowd, past the reporters who quickly began to surround him, taking pictures and asking him questions.
"Mr. Stark, are you still single?"
"I hear you're working on a new project?"
"Can we have more details?"
Tony gave a fake smile this time, one of those that looked real if you weren't paying attention, and struggled to get out.
He slid back to the bar where he looked for the two idiots who had snatched him from such a beautiful moment he was having with Y/N.
Tumblr media
Y/N had pulled herself up on top of one of the rocks that hid them, and with her head sticking out slightly, she watched Tony in the distance.
It was far away but she could see the women sticking to him and although she had full confidence in Tony, it made her sad that she couldn't be one of them.
She felt her heart ache. It was now so many times that she saw him walking away from her because she can't follow, so many times that she couldn't be around him.
The evening was long and the mermaid could not stop thinking. She couldn't spend her whole life like this. She would give everything to walk. Walk with Tony, run with him, dance with him.. as any human can do.
The mermaid wagged her tail for a few moments in the moonlight before she felt something on her cheeks.
She passed her hand and looked at her salt tears.
The mermaids wept tears of salt, and it was one more thing that reminded her who she was.
She looked at her mermaid tail.
"I'm sick of it!" she shouted, hitting the water that reflected the painful truth.
Tumblr media
She looked at the ocean as far as the eye could see and thought of the stories she was told as a child. Those fairy tales that said a mermaid could become human if she wishes, if she really want to, and if her heart is pure, but then she only had only a few days to find her soulmate among men, and for him to confess his love. Or she would die.
She knew Tony was her soul mate. But were her feelings mutual? She could see that he loved her, but was it that much?
She couldn't help but feel that Tony deserved better than her, that she was too uncultured of this world and naive and that it would be selfish to force him to stay with her out of guilt.
And were these stories even true? Children were told so many false stories that they thought it was the old days.
After some time of reflection, she decided to try.
Y/N placed herself in the water to connect to her element and closed her eyes.
She thought back to the first time she saw Tony. His eyes. His kind attentions, his humor, his heart, his way of seeing things and everything that made her heart beat.
And Y/N felt truly connected to the power of the ocean and this world before being interrupted by a threatening voice:
"What are you doing little sister?"
