“I mean, yes…” Arria reached out and touched Carter’s leg, “Wow… I can’t believe I’m doing this.” He pulled away after a few moments and smiled.

Carter let another laugh, “Wow… Just, wow…” A merman. A hot merman. He didn’t realize he had been staring at Arria’s face until his stomach made a quiet growl, and he immediately looked away, trying to change the subject, “Um- So are there more of you merpeople?”

"No, I'm the only one…" Arria said sarcastically, "Yeah, there are. Quite a few in this area but I'm not sure if there are others around the world," He shrugged and drew circles in the sand, "I don't know why Farron thought humans were bad because you're not at all."

Carter tilted his head to the side, “Who’s Farron?” But gosh… other merpeople? And no one knew about them… except Carter, now. He couldn’t help a hint of feeling special entering his mind, that he was in the know. Carter almost laughed at himself for it.

Arria’s tail twitched, “My stuck up, over protective, human hating brother,” He sighed, “If he saw I was talking to you I’d never be able to come up here again.” He didn’t know why his brother resented humans so much. Carter wasn’t at all like what Farron had told him to try and scare him away from humans.

“What’s wrong with humans,” Carter said defensively, trying to scoot closer to Arria and still be suddle. I can’t help that Arria is so hot… “It wouldn’t be fair if you could never come here again, either.” He crossed his arms over his chest and stared at the clouds as he talked, “If it were up to me, I’d think that humans and merpeople should meet each other. You are so cool, with your tail and everything. You wouldn’t believe how many humans dress up as a mermaid or merman for Halloween or whatever!” He exclaimed with a small grin.

“Hallo… what?” Aria furrowed his brows in confusion, his tail swished back and forth lazily, “Anyway, Farron and almost every other merperson I know hates humans. They say they’re evil and will kill us on sight. I guess some do, when they get caught in a net or whatever but…” Arria shrugged, “What’s the hallo… Halloween thing you mentioned?” He asked, looking up at Carter.

“It’s where we -more for younger kids- dress up and go around the neighborhood getting candy from strangers,” Carter laughed, “It sounds a lot worse than what it is. It was a really fun tradition when I was younger. Do you merpeople have any traditions or holidays like that?”

“Well… nothing like that. We celebrate the summer and winter solstices but that’s about it. Mainly because they are such big events so we don’t bother with anything else.” Arria explained, giving carter a smile, “You should see it. The winter solstice is beautiful, the moon shining on the city is gorgeous.”

“The city? You have underwater cities? That’s so cool! I wanna see!” Carter exclaimed, despite the improbable possibilities of it actually happening. He put an arm around Arria’s shoulders, flippant enough to be dismissed as only friendly.

Arria laughed and blushed slightly as Carter out an arm around him but he looked at the other with a smile, “I mean… as long as you don’t get caught then I guess you could. Or maybe we could get you a tail so you could blend in…” He mused.

“If only I could breath underwater,” Carter sighed, “What’s it like? Breathing underwater, I mean. Does it feel weird?” Carter tilted his head to the side, almost resting it on Arria’s shoulder. Stop fantasizing, He reminded himself, but found he couldn’t stop.

“Not really. I guess it feels the same as when you breath air. It’s just normal,” Arria sighed, “What’s life on land like? How do you walk, legs are weird…” He said, looking at Carters leg, “Does It take a lot of concentration to move a leg?” Stop… you’re embarrassing yourself. Arria thought, internally hitting himself.
(So I found this and it reminded me of Carter and Arria for some reason: https://pin.it/etxxb5spkaih3t)

(Oh my gosh, I love that photo. It’s definitely Carria ship)
Carter smiled, “It’s not hard. It’s kind of muscle memory to walk,” Carter laughed a bit, staring at his legs. I’m explaining legs to a hot merman. “And life on land… I mean, we have other ways of transportation too, like bikes and cars.”

“What are those? I’ve never been close enough to see them from out here…” Arria said, staring off out to the water, “I’ve always wanted to be able to experience life on land, maybe that makes me crazy because I’m a merman but I’d like to find out about it, and those car things you mentioned.”

“Why don’t we, then?” Carter gave him a mischievous look, “We can go into the city at night, I can take you around. I can even get you like a blanket or something to cover up your tail, people wouldn’t know the difference if they spotted us.” Carter couldn’t stop himself, he leaned in closer Arria, grinning happily the entire time.

Arria blinked, “Wait… really? How? You can’t just carry me the entire time and surely someone would notice and if I get caught then I wouldn’t be able to even see you again and and…” He ran a hand through his hair, “I mean… if there is someone way I wouldn’t be noticed on land then yes…” He smiled back, “I’ll do it.”

Carter grinned, “Then meet me here at dusk. I’ll get a way, I promise.” He stretched then went to go get his surfboard. He couldn’t stop the little feeling of butterflies in his stomach. I develop crushed way too easily… He shook his head to himself and laughed, “It’ll be so fun.”

Arria couldn't stop smiling, "Alright, I'll see you then." He swam out of the rock pool and a little way out into the ocean. He gave Carter one last smile and a wave before diving under the water, disappearing from view.

Carter sighed happily, swimming his surfboard back in to shore, with a grin. He loaded up his truck. He sped off, smiling the entire time. I just met a merman… He dropped his board off at his house, then went to work on his plan.
(Time skip to dusk?)

(yup)
Arria swam back and forth in the rock pool, waiting nervously. He didn't know why he was so nervous. Maybe it was because he was going on land, or because he was going with Carter. A super hot human or it was all three. This just made him swim back and forth more.

Carter grinned as he approached the rock pool, spotting the merman and calling out, “Arria!” There hadn’t been anyone on the beach, so it was just the perfect night for it. Carter had it all set up, the toughest parts would be the transition from ocean to sand.

When Arria noticed Carter he smiled a little and swam over to him, “Is everything set up? I can’t believe I’m doing this… maybe we shouldn’t.”

“No getting cold feet!” He said smugly, grabbing onto Arria’s arms. He pulled the merman up onto the surfboard, holding him gently, “Do you think you can balance? You can hold onto me if you feel like you might fall off.” Carter said just before he started to paddle towards shore.

“This is weird…” Arria muttered, holding onto the surfboard, “Do all humans own one of these?” He asked, looking over at Carter.
