He is the flame and I'm the moth drawn to him. Because once I go to the flame, it began to hurt and I caused pain. So I must leave so the fire can exist without feel guilt for hurting me.

Miracine N. Seaton

It has been a week since I first saw Seivon again. The evening lights filled the sky and I was by the beach. Well not exactly, we were in the sea.
See, we were in the middle of the sea. He was in a tiny boat like thing. I was there too, but my tail was in the sea.

"The moon is beautiful tonight," I told him as I leaned up against him.

"Yeah..." He muttered, training off. I noticed he seemed a bit bothered by something.

"Seivon, I don't want to pressure you or anything but you seem a bit distant today." I press my ear to his chest, feeling his heartbeat.

"Sorry..I just," he frowned and sighed as he look up in the evening sky, "Violet I don't mean to be distant. It's just my parents are dead."

I stared at him. Starfish, what do I say to that?!

My ears flopped downwards and I hugged him. "Do you uh need... I don't know what to say," I admit. "I'm just sorry that I couldn't save them either."

He smiled, "It's not your fault. I just miss them. You know at first I was mad. I was mad at myself on how I interacted with them. I was the annoying little kid that messed with everyone for the sake of it. I was never serious, but I always wanted to know more about their work." Seivon wiped his eyes,
"It always seemed so cool. They would discover and study the ocean. I wanted to help them and be serious for once. They finally let me come, but then those ships got caught in some awful storms. Then I met you," he smiled at me.
"I was upset at you afterwards. I didn't think I deserved to be saved. Then you never came until last week. I wanted to talk to you again. I was sad and felt alone. Ash wasn't talking to anyone. Mel I just... Something was going on with her and she couldn't take me seriously. And I was just really sad."

"T-that's," I started to sob myself, "That's so sad! Can I hug you again? I want to let you know I'll be there for now on.

"You can hug me, Violet." He told me. With a smile on my face, I wrapped my arms around him. I leaned my head over his shoulder and snuggled against the human.
"Afterwards, I couldn't focus at school at all. My grades and everything were so terrible. I wasn't the only one. And I repeated a year because of everything going on. I took some therapy classes, you know. It helped me cope I guess. It helped me realize, it wasn't my fault and us going didn't make them die. It made me glad to be alive and saved by you. It helped me do things I enjoyed again."

"Enjoy? What do you enjoy doing?" I wanted to know more about him.

"I like doing this," he starts off, "Besides spending time with you and hanging out with everyone. I enjoy watching films with Ash and Mel, you know. Have you seen any? Sometimes we go to the movies, as some people call it-- I still can't get over the name difference in certain countries. Ash always has his popcorn much to Mel's dismay," he shakes his head and laughed.

"I seen a few. Most were stupid though. I fell asleep because I was bored and it was just so annoying. It was good until they threw in this annoying love interest that couldn't do anything for herself." I exclaimed to him, throwing my arms up.

He laughed, "Oh yeah I agree those subplots are annoying. Just because it is action doesn't mean that it needs some stupid subplot. Certain films in general are just so bad with the comedy and all of the characters are so incredibly stupid. But sometimes you need those stupid films to lift your spirits when you're down."

"Earlier you mentioned it was called movies in some places, aren't they called that here?" I asked him in confusion. "Are you not from here?"

"Not exactly.," He admits to me, "I've constantly traveled from here to back where I used to live all the time when my parents were alive. I would always go from France, England, New Zealand-- well we're in New Zealand right now."

"I never really traveled much. Even out in the sea, I wasn't allowed to. I always wanted to though. I suppose the first time I was able to freely without someone watching me was when I saw you on that mass thing."

"A ship?" He offered, laughing.

"Yeah that," I said dryly, "Well I was exploring the place when I saw something I never seen before. That is why I went above to the surface. The sky was so beautiful and incredible. I never seen anything like it. There were tons of lights: Red, yellow, white, and blue!" I exclaimed in excitement,
"And that ship was just as lovely as the sky. Everyone seem to be dancing and having a grand o' time."

"Fireworks? They are only used for celebrations." I grinned at him. So that is what they are called. "I want to see more someday."

"I'll take you sometime," he tell me. I grinned in anticipation.

I continued to explain what happened, "Then I saw you and your friends interacting. You all seemed so lively and I wanted to get to know you. Plus you had this look that just drew me to you." I laid my hand in his hair as I continued on, "I'm the sea-moth to your flame."

"You were there from the beginning?" He widen his eyes and laughed in surprise. "Wow, I'm glad you were there."

"Me too because then I would have never met you. That was the only storm I hated. Usually storms as so violent and beautiful when they destroy things. They just look so cool," I tell him.

"I thought you never been to the surface before that?" He questioned what I meant.

"I haven't physically, but I had this thing when I can watch the Pacific ocean." I explained to him in a small voice. "I was always wondering around only hearing stories from servants, but they only did that to befriend me and I knew they were just faking it."

"Servants?" He asked, "Like maids and butler's? Was that common or did your family just do that?"

"Well no, not everyone. Out of Kimoshei I was one of the several that had some. I didn't have any personal ones, but I was basically raised by them and if I was good enough I could see my brother and Mother and Father." I sigh,
"I haven't seen them in years. Well I seen my brother, but I rather not. I'm mad at him and he knows it. So I'm waiting for him to gift me into not being mad anymore and then I'll happen to forgive him. I want him to get me something special from his travels anyways," I huffed. "I know he adores me, cause I'm that spoiled sister of his," I laughed.

"Well at least you're aware of this. That's the start of being humble."

"Being humble sounds so lame unless it has to do with you!" I exclaimed, leaning downward.

"Well aren't you something," he grinned at him, poking my nose.

"Of course I'm something. I'm a merphan!" I exclaimed, but he gave me an odd look. "What?!"

"Uhh mer-fan?" He furrowed his eyebrows. Ohh.

Oops, "I meant mermaid, okay." I looked away. I felt my face turn pink.

"Are you blushing?" Seivon suddenly asked. I leaned further into him to hide my face.

"No, a red snapper bit me." I muttered into him, but he laughed at what I said.

"Then why are you hiding your face?" He must have been amused by the situation. "N-not t-that I mind, of course!"

"You're not supposed to point that out Seivon." I hissed, now instead, hiding myself with my fin.

"You were blushing?" He exclaimed, "I thought a red snapper only bit you?" Seivon said very cheekily.

"Oh-ohh back to how you were asking about servants. They always told me stories and Fairytales. I found out that there are humanized versions of them."I nodded grinning,
"Which is just so weird. The princess and the pearl is a human and instead of a pearl, it's a pea!? It is so crazy how you humans interpret things."

"Who says humans didn't come up with the original story and mermaids took pieces from it?" He turned to me grinning.

"Humans aren't that creative to do that. Half the time they are loafing around doing who knows what and wasting their time," I just grinned, "Plus they are the ones who stole from the first ancestors of each kingdom." I then added.

"Humans aren't all bad. You gotta give us more credit than that," but still he grinned while saying that.

"I will once you show it," I laughed.

"Well aren't cha' cheeky," he poked my nose again.

"Pretty sure Kaisa had servants too," I told him, "She must have."

"Oh!" Seivon widen his eyes, "I think I met him. One of her servants and that makes sense. He was kinda bizarre and dressed in a way I never seen before."

"Bizarre?" I laughed, "How so?"

"Well first of all he had this accent. Very beautiful accent, but I couldn't tell which it was from. Then the way he was dressed was different from the usual locals and tourists. It was kinda flashy. No shirt or anything, but the shortest pair of shorts. His hair was two different colours. Green and black." He state while moving his hands to express everything. Except we never had two different hair colors.
"He had darker skin I suppose, but there's nothing wrong with that. But he would says phrases that I never heard of. I tried even looking it up, but no results would come up. I haven't seen him lately, so maybe he did go back. Or maybe he is just around where she stays at." He smiled after talking.

"I'm getting... a bit tired.." I yawned.

"Am I that boring for you?". He teased me.

I laughed, "Noooo! I love hearing you tell me things."

"If we haven't met those years ago, what would you be like?" Seivon suddenly asked me.

"Well I'll be lonely and I guess I wouldn't have been mad at my brother. He probably would be here instead of Azurine..." I trailed off "Uhh, I probably wouldn't have met my other half. I might have met you eventually but I don't know what would happen."

"What matters is that I did meet you," he leaned his face closer to me. Blushing, I closed wrapped my arms around his neck. I closed the gap between us and we began kissing.
I smiled as I inhaled his warm evergreen scent. He caressed my cheek and with the other hand he angled my head for the perfect exposition.

"Seivon..." I laughed into him when I noticed our surroundings. I dipped my fin into the sea once more. "Remember no others, besides me." I leaned back into him.

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrow, grinning, "And if I did?"

"You wouldn't!" I glared at him, but he still made that challenging expression. "I.. I will go after them!" I hissed, "You're my other half. May you break my heart into a thousand pieces, but only you can mend those thousand pieces."

"I would never Violet," he whispered softly, "Come here, you," He laughed as I leaned into once more and allowed the sea to kiss his sweet lips until the night turned bright.

...

I fell asleep, I thought. I fell asleep! I looked against me and Seivon was there sleeping. That brought a smile to my face. Until I realized, I was in my humanics form.
I dipped my hand into the sea and turned back into a mermaid at once.
That was close. I could have died.

"Cause every time I dream
You appear in my sleep
But I was so blind and you
Broke my heart in two
And now I can only think of you

Thousand of pieces
Crumbling in my mind
These endless feelings
Must it separate us entirely

I had a dream
I made a wish upon that moonlit sky
But it only broke me
in thousand pieces evermore
Without telling me why

The ocean tells a story
Where a lover is drowning in misery
I take your sorrow and turn it into revenge
I will break your heart
I take your future

I dream, dream, dream
For your neck to be on the line
For my fingers to wrap around your throat
Until you feel all the hatred I held"

A sung a beautiful heartbroken song, but I felt the opposite of the song. I waited and he soon awoke.

"Seivon!" I exclaimed, but then I saw something that made me feel frighten. I backed down and lowered my voice, "Someday I hope you figure out who I am and then we can travel to all kinds of places. Just us two!" I tell him in excitement, but I was very worried.

Sloppy fish scales.

Mistakes were the death of me.

I was seen kissing and being with him.

And it wasn't like it was some simple fish or mermaid-err man. It was one of the council members. The mermaid council---The elders; The most feared group mermaids who ensures rules are followed and whatnot. They were up my case four years ago when they blamed me for all the brokenness of the ocean.
The blamed me for causing the demon water spirits to be released. How was it my fault? They claim me breaking that rule caused it, but I believe it would of happened anyway. Regardless of what I did, it would've happen.

"What's wrong?" He keeled down looking at me in awe.

"T-they saw....I-I.... s-should go." I was breathless, breathing heavily. I was panicking. What if....There is no what ifs. They saw.

"Violet..." He whispered softly, "They can't control you or what you do. Listen Vi, you should fight. They blame you for everything wrong just because you broke a rule or two. And the thing is.... those rules," He trailed off, "They are absolutely stupid rules!"
He called me Vi. And I like it. No, I love it. And it is not like I can tell him my actual name without him figuring out.

"Look," I place my hand on his cheek. "This isn't about you. It is just something I have to deal with and then once it is over then I will come back to you. I have to go."

Before sinking down, the sad expression on his face pained me deeply. I turned to the ones starring from a distance and gave them the deepest and darkest glare ever. With that, I headed off. I just needed to rest and think about everything.
I sneaked back into the house. Yeah, there was no way I would've gotten out if I tried asking Azurine. I'm not going to go up to her with a stupid smile hoping because I am smiling she would say yes and then I ask her:

Can I go meet with Seivon to talk, make out, kiss, desire, and date?

And if she said yes to that, then I know a water spirit demon is possessing her. She hates him without mercy.

Ahh!

I spread my arms up and let my fins soak.

Ocean sunfish!

This feels nice. Relaxing in this warm water is the best upon my skin. Azurine won't even know I left to see Seivon this evening. She will just think I have been in this warm nice water the entire time.

"There is nothing better than being in the water....." I sighed out loud.

"Water always is better than anything, Mina," A lower voice said that brought me chill. They had to be right outside my private bathroom.

"What? W-who is there? D-don't come in here!" Panic filled my face and I was just relaxing in this nice cool water. I sunk deep into the water trying to cover everything.

"Oh, come on! You don't recognize my voice? Mina...Mina...I am the only few one that calls you Mina. Don't you remember you are mine? Does that sound familiar?" The voice chuckled outside.
Realization hit me like an ankor falling on top of me.

Oh. It's him.

My dear brother who hates humanics and their land with passion.

Mivozene.

Azurine actually done it.

"Mivozene, what are you.." I trailed off, "What are you doing here? And what do you want?"

"Congratulations! You guessed correctly. I can't believe you thought I was a humanic though." He told me in a sadden tone, "What a pity. You think that low of me when I think that high of you." He laughed uncontrollably as he came into the bathroom.
"You're my precious sister and I am going to be staying here for now on so you don't get distracted with humanics. A certain fishie told me they saw you with a humanic masculine. Why do you hang around them? You should isolate yourself from them. They are not to be trusted. And you know what else I found out?"
He gave me a dark look, "You saw that human again! That one you foolishly saved from drowning." He scowled looking at me and I somehow sunk impossibly lower.

"So what! You and everyone else are always telling me what to do. Newsflash, this is my choice and I should not have to listen to all of you! I can do what I want." This is why I hate talking with my family and other families.
My brother has this incredible hatred for humanics and would do all these absurd things to "protect" me. I hate it and can't stand it at all. Soon he might go into that watchfish mode where he follows me around school.

"Zuri! Whatever my sweet, precious, adorable sister does, let me know, okay?." He stepped out of the bathroom calling out to her.

I frowned, "Well she won't be so sweet, precious, and adorable if I can't see him. Nobody understands me and you still haven't apologize or make up to me for telling the council I did that!" I exclaimed to my brother.

"For the last time Mina, I did not tell them!" He pressed her hands together and let out an unbelievably loud sigh, "Please believe me," but I didn't want to hear it. He's only saying that to make me forgive him.
Everyone said that he turned me in because it anger him so much that he had to protect me. Then during the ruling he couldn't even watch. The pain was so terrible, I couldn't move my arm for days afterwards.

I took that opportunity to get out and instantly my fins formed into my humanic figure.

The walls between me didn't let me hear what exactly Azurine told him, but I knew that it was bad.

"....And then she told me she could not forget him and that she really liked that humanic. Can you believe that? She even kissed him." Azurine emphasized the last part, much to my dismay.
Of course she was telling him. And I hated it. I hated it with passion.

Not wanting to go see them anymore, I didn't leave my room. I stayed up thinking about the previous conversations with everyone these last few days. My mind was on a roll thinking about every little single thing.

"Tonight's homework you are working on this factoring worksheet." Groans were heard from throughout the class knowing they would have to do a factoring worksheet. Factoring? What's that I thought.
"Fineeee, you can get help from someone else." Kaisa wasn't here today and I had no idea how to do something like that. I mean I knew math and things to survive. I slowly walked across the hallway until I ran into Seivon with a grinning Ashton walking away putting hearts around us with his hands. Thankfully, Seivon didn't notice besides he would think I am like all his other fans. And only his mermaid who saved him can be with him.

"Do you.....uh..." I turned to Seivon and couldn't help myself and stared at his hair over his sapphire eyes.

"Sweetheart, are my looks distracting you?" He smirks and instantly my face got heated.
That sly humphead wrasse!
D-does he know? Does he know what I feel for him? Does he know I am the mermaid? Either way he knows I hate how he smirks. But only because it is me who saved him, is why I hate it. Get a grip Miracine, I can't act like this in this form. Well not yet.

"W-what? No!" I answered immediately, "I was just thinking about how I was home schooled before and I was never taught how to do this. We were taught essentials to live there.
"You know, you are smart, right? I know you could help me." I smiled shyly looking down. If he helped me then I will know how to do it and I shall spend more time with him.

"Well alright, but just for the record I do distract a lot of people." My cheeks become a deeper crimson.

"Y-yeah...." I know. Trust me I know more about you than you think. Besides if you knew what I know, you would want to distract me.

4xy+64xy

"Okay the first problem is 4xy and 64xy. So first what does 4xy and 64xy have in common that is similar?" He was leaning above my shoulder which made my face flushed even more.

"Ummm x and y?" They are both human letters right?

"Yes and since they are both xy you take them both out. Then between 4 and 64 what is the most common factor?."

"64 and 4 is 4."

"And the things is common would be 4xy" He explained and I understood it. He is such a good student. 4xy(1+16)

And the rest of him helping me would go like that, but every once in awhile I would catch the look in his eyes and smile. Sometimes he would even make a sly egoistic comment that would leave me in a fit of giggles.
It is annoying I can't contain myself sometimes, but I don't think he seems to mind.

And just thinking of him helping me is more than I could ever wish for. When I am with him my heart pound faster than ever.
I don't understand. Is this a feeling that humanics feel? I feel endless happiness and joy when I am with him.....

"Ah," I sighed. "Sleep well, Seivon." I whispered to myself she laying in the covers under a bed, I had endless thoughts. I smiled to myself, and sleep a bit more until I actually had to get up for school.

Seivon Rivers

It was Friday. Finally, ugh school is so annoying. I don't even get how we are being taught things we don't need to know to survive. Miracine, where that girl came from she didn't know a lot of things.
She was taught life skills and wasn't taught things we weren't gonna need it life. In a way I feel bad for her, but in another way I wish I was like that.
She is interesting as reminds me so much of Violet. I think it might be her, but other times, I'm not so sure. Every time she speaks, she is always so expressive-- whether it is her arms moving to show emotion or if it is her face.
And if she doesn't like something she will have this unpleasant face. And just whenever she is around, I'm drawn to her.

But I guess I have to go to school. I would skip for two reason, but the Violet mermaid isn't. And I will feel even more sad if I don't attend. I will do anything for her.
Speaking of which, I don't quite understand why she wrote a poem instead of telling me? Maybe she wanted to express it. Either way it was beautiful.

Today is Friday, November 24. A day that is both sad and happy for me. As anyone knows four years ago I was saved by a girl. The most lovely girl that makes me never think twice. It calls electricity to spark between us every we touch. The mermaid, I like her more than I could ever feel for someone. And every day I am with her it becomes greater and greater.

Even though we are from different worlds I still try to be with her. She might get scared of what her people think, but I say who cares. As long as she is happy and as long she feels as if it is right, it would be fine. Mel, Ash, and I were the only survivors. That day my parents died. Their parents weren't on the ship, but mine were.
Sometimes my relatives stayed with me, until this past two years. However once I turn 17 in a few more months, I will legally be able to. Right now, know one knows but what's a few more months?

My house is exactly 6 minutes away. I walk everyday. However, this morning I was out at sea. I walked towards my house this time before going anywhere. I grab my things before, then heading off to the school. When I arrive at school, I go inside instead of meeting up with my friends the usual way. This way nobody will see me sneak to the back.

Or so I thought.

As soon as I stepped into the hallway girls fawned over me not allowing to go anywhere.

"Erghh, let me get through. I have to go." Instantly they scattered. Wow!
They actually moved out of the way. I'm sorry to you, the one from the sea. I can't see you this morning.
I hope she isn't sad because it is the four year anniversary of our meeting.

As I was about to leave my eye couldn't help but catch a whiff of hair. Long violet hair....but before I could say anything to her, she vanished inside classroom 271.

Is that...her?

AN//
I added the whole first part because I thought that would be absolutely cute for them both to be on a boat at sea. She would be a mermaid and he would be a human.
Then they spend time together and then they fall asleep, but when she wakes up she is not human. I just thought that is cute.
I'm also adding more conversations about getting to know the other. I also want to add more about him getting to know her human self. I was planning to delete that flashback, but then I decided it kinda held with her human relationship with him.

. . . Happy . . .

~June 3rd~

But the book date is sometime in November 2019 and it will go from November to December quickly enough.

Random event

Once I was with these people and we were playing this weird game.

I think it was some random romance island game...to be honest I'm not sure.

So we were playing truth or dare in the romance game,

and we dared this lady to lick our character's toe.

She actually did it. And she said she liked challenges.
