merMAN

by glow_in_the_dark

Lore says that a kiss from a mermaid can save a sailor from drowning. And even if this preposterous fable was of truth, would it apply to a merman? ------------- “For the last time, John, I am a merman. Not a mermaid.” Sherlock dipped down beneath the glassy seawater before reappearing on the other side of the dock, his annoyance visible in the crease of his frown. “Could’ve fooled me.” John spoke the words under his breath, but the mythical creature’s hearing was too perceptive to not pick it up. “And what, pray tell, is that supposed to mean?” Well, what harm ever came from getting sassy with a mermai… merman? “It means that with those luscious curls, sharp cheekbones, pouty lips, and the ability to change your mind at any given moment it’s no wonder I keep calling you a mermaid.”
