You whistled to yourself, alone on your boat. It was the only good way to pass the time since you forgot to download any songs or even bring CDs. You were stuck out in the middle of the Sea of Japan with nothing but your fishing rod.
You sighed, and you were about to throw in the towel after barely being able to catch anything, but a sudden tug at your pole made your eyes widen. Your grip on the pole tightened and you clenched your jaw. “H-Holy shit! This one’s big!” You exclaimed with a grunt, holding in your breath as your feet steadied on the floor in a wide, yet firm, stance.
You tugged backwards, ears ringing. The strength needed to catch this… fish? You didn’t know what it was, but it was definitely large; then, the thought of fishing up a great white shark made your spine shiver, causing your grip to loosen for just a split second.
But that second was all that was needed for the creature to run away with your pole, slipping through your fingertips.
“No!” You exclaimed, running over towards the side of the boat to try and scan the area for the pole only to see… a man poking out of the water with large, sharp ears?
“Hey!” You let out, “What are you doing down there?! We’re in the middle of the ocean!” You continued to exclaim at the man, taking note of his devilishly red irises, but the rest of his eyes were a deep black, shining in the sun. Just like his hair.
Your heart skipped a beat when you noticed something else. There were three large gashes on each side of his neck; although, there didn’t seem to be a single sign of a wound anywhere you looked.
Realization hit you. Whoever was down there, looking up at you, they were a merman.
“H-Hey, did I, uhm… I’m sorry.” You scratched the back of your head nervously, “I didn’t mean to fish you up. That probably hurt.”
What were you doing?! You were trying to communicate with a damn mermaid! Other people would have probably taken out their phones to try and get some evidence to show to the government or some shit, but all you could do was say your sorry. “Can I have your name?” You ask, reaching out a hand towards the man.
He hissed in response, quickly ducking underneath the water before splashing some liquid all over you. The top half of your body was soaked in water, and you ended up spitting out some stray water that had gotten in your mouth.
“Well that wasn’t nice.” You frowned softly, trying to look over the edge again. You couldn’t find the man, but you had a good indicator as to where he was going. Your fishing rod was about fifteen feet away from you and moving west.
You scrambled towards your boat’s steering wheel, licking it into gear to try and follow whether the merman was going. You didn’t want to capture him, no; you just wanted your damn rod back.
It took quite some time, but the fishing rod eventually stopped moving. The merman had led you into a cove of some sort. You swallowed, noticing that the merman had gone into some sort of cave within the water. Perhaps it was his home?
You sighed, reaching out towards the pole, giving it a tug.
There was still plenty of resistance, but eventually the merman you encountered before popped out of the water, and you had to explain the situation to him.
“Hey, I need my pole.” You spoke, “Do you know where you’ve been caught?” You asked, and the merman turned around, showing you his back.
Your hook was lodged into his back, causing tiny amounts of blood to spill from the wound. You hissed at the sight, “Do you think I can help?” You asked, reaching out to try and snag the hook out from under his skin, and the merman hissed in response again, quickly retreating under the water again.
You frowned softly. You didn’t mean to hurt the man.
“I’m sorry.” You spoke, “But I need to help you. It’ll be bad if that thing stayed inside you, so… can you come up again?” You asked.
After about thirty seconds, the merman popped out of the water again, adverting his eyes before showing off his back. The hook had somehow managed to get in deeper, penetrating the second layer of the skin. It was definitely going to leave a scar.
You reached over, slowly moving the hook through the flesh and muscle and causing more blood to spill. You hissed at the sight and quickly took off your shirt, tearing the bottom to try and form a makeshift bandage for the merman.
The noise of the tearing fabric made the man’s ears flutter, turning to look towards the noise to see your shirtless body. Immediately, his eyes widened and his cheeks reddened, but he turned away far too quick for you to notice.
You huffed as you wrapped the merman’s torso with the scraps made of your shirt, making sure to tie it tightly. You wiped your brow clean of salty water and sweat. Sighing, you looked around the cove. Light peeked in through the holes of the cave the small lake was in, and you smiled. You wished you could see this sight every single day, but you knew you’d have to leave before I got dark out.
You looked towards the merman, giving him a small wave, “I’m sorry, but I have to go now.” You spoke, but before you could turn around, you heard the merman speak in an oddly gravelly voice.
“Chizome.”
You hummed, tilting your head to the side, “What did you say?” You asked.
“You wanted my name… it’s Chizome.” He spoke, giving you a small toothy grin, and you gave him one back.
You were talking to a merman; you guessed you could stay for a while longer.
You told him your name as well, and the man smiled, “Pretty.” He mentioned, “You have a pretty name.”
He moved closer to the boat, “Come on the water. It’s nice here.”
You looked over the edge. The water wasn’t too deep, thankfully; the cove had fairly shallow water.
So you decided to suck it up and get in. You took off your pants, leaving you in just your underwear, before getting into the cold water. You chuckled, “I never thought I’d swim with a merman.” You commented.
“No one knows what life will bring.” Chizome commented, “It’s like the ocean: unpredictable.” He hummed, swimming over to be by your side.
“You’re the first human I’ve ever met that has had kindness in their soul. I’ve only met with humans one other time, but they were evil.” He frowned softly, “They took my nose.”
His hand reached his face, touching the cloth wrapped around his face where his nose would be. Clearly, the pain was still there; although, it was purely mental. It explained why Chizome was so standoffish before.
You frowned, “I’m so sorry… a lot of fisherman are evil. Have you seen what they do to sharks?” You spoke, shivering at the thought, and Chizome nodded.
“The sharks are my friends. Your people do horrible things.”
All you could do wias frown and agree, “Yeah… they are.” You sighed, looking towards the clear water between you two. It was the clearest water you had ever been in, and it turned your frown into a smile.
“Let’s not linger on this. Let’s have fun instead.” You said as you splashed water towards the man. You weren’t sure if it was a rude thing to do… if mermen had their own culture and if splashing water in his face was rude; but judging by his response, it clearly wasn’t.
Chizome splashed water back at you, laughing happily as the clear liquid covered your face. Some got up your nose, but that didn’t stop you from splashing back.
You laughed, continuing to play in the water for who knows how long. You swam around together even if Chizome was a much better swimmer by design. You shared oddly intimate moments: like when Chizome swam in a large circle around you before popping his head out of the water to smile at you.
You chuckled, but soon enough you grew tired. You laid on the sandy cove where the light from the sun shone. You felt the warmth spread all across your nearly nude body, but you could feel Chizome staring.
“I can feel your eyes on me.” You commented, turning to look at the merman. His cheeks were red, and he quickly ducked under the water. You chuckled at his response and moved forwards, trying to take a peek at him underwater; but when you finally got close enough, he came out and sprayed water at you with his mouth.
You laughed, and you looked towards Chizome lovingly. Snapping out of your trance started by Chizome’s dashing good looks, you took note of the colors of the sky outside.
You sighed, “I’ll have to go back home soon.” You frowned, “But it was nice meeting you, Chizome.”
Chizome peeked out of the water, the top half of his body completely in view. He was muscular from the tip of his head to where his tail started. It was like the body of a god itself.
“Stay.” He frowned, “I can turn you into me.”
Your brow arched, “What do you mean?” You asked.
“I can give you the tail.” He motioned, showing off his red and black tail, swimming in the depths.
“Do you want to be like me?” He asked, “I know how to.”
Your eyes widened, “I… how?” You asked.
More blush appeared on your cheeks, “We have to… do intimate things.” He murmured, “B-But I can turn you!”
You frowned softly, “I… have a home to get back to.”
“But this can be your home!” He exclaimed sadly, “I-I can make you happy! I can be your husband!”
“H-Husband?!” You backed up slightly, “You like me that way?”
Chizome nodded, “Yes! And when a human turns into a merman, it means that the human has been chosen as a mate, and… I want you to be my mate!”
“Chizome…” you breathed, “I would love to. You’re an amazing person, and you’re quite handsome, but there’s more to life than this.” You sighed, “I have a home, a family, and friends.”
“I can help! I’m your family! This is your home!” Chizome exclaimed, “Please… don’t leave me.” He swam closer to you, “I want to be your family.”
You swallowed, hands clenched in the sand beneath you. Yes, you did have friends and family, but they weren’t too kind in the first place.
The thought of living in the sea with your mate, not having to care about taxes, drama, or politics.
You sighed, “I’ll do it.” You spoke firmly, “I’ll become a merman with you, so can you tell me how to become one now?”
Chizome smiled happily, but he moved away, “I’ll be right back,” he said before swimming back into the small hole underwater.
He came back, not even two minutes later, and you noticed he was sporting something in his crotch area. Two thick, shaft-like rods were sticking out of a slit, and you immediately knew what they were.
“I… hope you like it.” Chizome commented, and you could only stand there: aghast.
“Sex… you turn me into a merman through sex?”
Chizome nodded, “Yes! Humans turn into one of us when we choose them as our mate. I chose you as my mate, so… we must act like mates.”
You swallowed, “So that’s why… of course. Let me just get undressed.”
You turned around, unable to face Chizome as you stripped yourself of your underwear. You took a deep breath before turning around.
“Beautiful.” He commented, a lovely smile on his lips as you walked towards him, “I’ve chosen the best mate a man could ask for.” He hummed.
You went into the water with him, moving to be inches away from each other. His thick shafts poked your side, and you knew you’d need some stretching before taking him in.
You swallowed, leaning your forehead against his as his body began to caress every single inch of skin he could. His hot breath was against your neck, and he couldn’t help himself but taste you. His long tongue, over a foot long, coiled around your neck and back. He tasted you all over, slowly moving downwards with his tongue before he eventually reached your privates.
His tongue managed to enter your hole, and you let out a shocked gasp. It felt odd, but it definitely wasn’t unwelcome. His slimy tongue slowly pushed inside of you, and it made your toes curl. You shut your eyes, leaning back as Chizome had his meal.
His textured tongue came out smoothly, leaving you slightly gaping for him. Moving up to face you once again, Chizome pulled you in for a kiss.
His lips met yours and your tongues danced within each other’s mouths. Your hands were all over each other, and Chizome’s claws grazed your skin, making your back arch.
“Y-You can put it in.” You commented, “Just… go slow, and I can only take one for now.” You swallowed, and Chizome replied with a nod.
Turning you around so your back was met with his chest, his hips moved forwards, and one of his cocks teased your hole, begging to go inside before the slim tip managed to work its way inside your eager body.
You shuddered within Chizome’s grasp, leaning your head back in the crook of his neck. Soft moans began to escape your lips as he slowly moved inside of you.
“S-So weird.” You moaned, “Your cock… it’s moving on its own inside me.”
You whimpered, closing your eyes to focus on the feeling of his tentacle-like shaft throb within your walls.
He had finally managed to worm all eight inches within your hole, and he simply stayed inside for a few moments. He held you close, teeth grazing against your neck as he rutted into you, causing more moans to spill from your lips.
“Ch-Chizome.” You moaned, lightly moving back against him, “You can move now. You won’t hurt me; I promise.”
He gave you a soft, yet reluctant nod. He didn’t feel like he had stretched you enough, but you were his mate, and you knew better.
His cock slowly began to slither out of you before sinking back in with a quicker pace.
More moans spilled from your lips, unable to control the noises that came from your throat as Chizome’s hips moved back and forth, rubbing your insides with vigor. It was the best thing you had ever felt: Chizome’s hands and arms around your body while his shaft teased your insides.
Your whole body was completely surrounded by Chizome, and you felt… happy.
A smile spread across your lips as Chizome’s thrusts slowly grew faster. He held onto you tightly, and you were unable to escape his grasp. Of course you wouldn’t struggle, you chose to be his, and you didn’t regret it.
Chizome’s hips grew faster yet, waves matching the rhythm of his movements spreading out across the clear waters, and you felt it. You felt magical. Something about you made you feel… different. You weren’t sure what, but you could already feel the changes happening.
“Chizome!” You moaned happily, “Please, make me yours.” You shuddered against his skin, closing your eyes as your labored breath hit his reddened face.
“Mine.” Chizome grunted, “I’ll make you mine.” He repeated after you, “I’ll make you so happy that you’ll never want to leave. I’ll be your everything. You don’t need anything else; as long as w-we have each other, we’ll be h-happy, my mate.”
Chizome’s sharp teeth finally did more than graze against your neck. He bit down on your shoulder, drawing blood as his hips sped up. The waves surrounded you grew more frantic, and you could tell he was getting close, but so were you.
“C-Chizome! Please!” You shuddered, “My mate, my wonderful mate.”
“Mine. All mine.” Chizome grunted, fucking you as fast as he could, and he could see it. He saw your belly bulge with his shaft. He knew that bulge would grow bigger when you would carry his eggs, but that was something he was going to tell you later. For now, he was completely enamored with how you felt around his cock.
Your toes curled, back arching as you came. Your mouth stayed agape, taking in shallow breaths as Chizome fucked you through your orgasm; you had cum untouched.
Chizome wasn’t long after. His seed spilled within your tummy and made your stomach the tiniest bit rounder, and you could only imagine how much seed he would have dumped into you if both of his cocks had cum inside.
You shuddered, closing your eyes as your whole body began to glow. Your skin grew luminescent and your body began to change. Fins began to sprout from your skin painlessly, and gills split around your neck and lower waist.
Your legs merged together, and your eyes twinkled in the sight as they watched your legs form a long, crimson tail.
You gasped for air, eyes going wide. You felt like you couldn’t breathe, and that’s when Chizome forced you under the water. Your gills moved, and you were finally able to breathe. You scanned the area, noticing that your body had adjusted to its new surroundings.
You noticed your tail first. It was absolutely beautiful, and its pattern matched Chizome’s. You smiled happily, eyes moving back to look into Chizome’s eyes.
You lunged forwards and hugged him tightly, nuzzling your face in his neck.
You were one with him now. You decided to leave everything behind to live a new life, and you couldn’t be happier.
You eventually pulled away, and you tried to swim by yourself, but it was hard to suddenly adjust to not having two legs anymore. Thankfully, Chizome helped you; and, soon enough, you were able to swim just fine.
You smiled happily, leaning in for another hug. Chizome was your mate now, and while you didn’t know what that entailed yet, you were excited and prepared for anything life threw at you.
