[Rin swims around the cove impatiently. It's ridiculously more shallow than he prefers and the pebbles at the bottom keep brushing against his belly and tail in ways that are less than comfortable. Not to mention that he has to keep looking up toward the shore in case some high-strung two-leg comes to ruin his fun. They always threw such a fit over his dorsal fin, screaming in their undecipherable language and forcing him to return to deeper waters before more of them fetched their pesky nets.
Though he couldn't begrudge their methods too much. Their stupid habits were the reason he had met the merman he now waited for. He'd discovered him thrashing around in one of those nets, surrounded by a whole school of two-legs. Rin hadn't realized he was a merman at the time and just assumed the two-legs were poaching his supply again. It hadn't taken much to scare them off, he didn't even need to come out of the water. Just approached with his dorsal fin in plain sight and they had scattered, as they always did, giving the mermaid plenty of time to flounder his way back close enough for Rin to snatch with his clawed fingers and yank further into his waters.
Only after the merman had angrily slapped him with his powerful tail had Rin actually realized what he caught. Fortunately for their now awkward friendship, the mermaid had still been unable to free himself from the net and had required Rin's help. Or rather Rin's teeth. How they had pieced together a friendship from there, Rin still had no idea.
But it also wasn't a friendship remotely approved of by his shiver. Which is why they had to meet in annoying places like this, places no other shark would dare to venture. Only Rin was foolhardy enough to steal back from the two-legs. Well, they deserved it. If they wanted his fish so much, they could try asking. Until then, he'd make their lives hell.
Speaking of making someone's life hell, where the hell is Haruka anyway? He slaps his tail impatiently against the cove's sand bed. The idiot better not be in trouble again. It's not his job to constantly play babysitter for a dumb merman.]
Let's play with some forbidden relationships~
