Mer Simeon in your bathtub with GN-Reader SFW

Appearing One Morning

You would get ready for work, just like every typical morning. The morning routine was the same as always until you opened the bathroom door and the smell of seawater and fresh fish hit you. There sitting in your tub, spilling out in fact, was a colorful man with dark skin and a shining white and blue tail. His hair was disheveled and sticking to his wet face. His body was littered at random with those glistening all in the early morning light that managed to peek through the tiny window. 

And there was blood all over him. Cuts around his wrists and neck, and even the pale blue gills around his sternum are torn up and mangled flexing weakly. Pathetic and weak in a pool of blood.  

Both of you were stunned silent. Unable to grasp the situation you both seemed to have stumbled into. Closing and opening the door didn't seem to despawn him or send him back. 

Instead, he offers a meek yet friendly little wave. Webbed fingers and claws trying not to seem too intimidating. "Hello… I'm so sorry I'm not sure how I managed to get here… I promise I mean no ill will." 

Should you decide to sit down and talk he's calm and friendly. His voice is soft and low. Despite some of his more monstrous features like his teeth and claws he has an almost otherworldly charm. He was kind as well. Apologizing over and over. Making a mess of your bathroom. 

He explains there was a scare to his pod. Humans started hunting them near the coast and had cornered him in a sewage outlet with spears and nets. He blacked out and woke up in your tub. He can only assume he came in through the drain. 

Seeing your disbelieving face he showed you a smaller form. One big enough to fit in your hand and even showed you one smaller. “I promise you I’d would not lie in a situation like this… I am at your mercy, human…” He asks for your name and a sad smile comes to his face. He calls it enchanting.

But you live hours away from the ocean. He certainly blacked out and the way he looks in horror at the drain you can’t help the pity wheeling up in you. So you offer him a place to rest for now.  

Daily Nuisance

You still had to go to work that day. Should you decide you need a shower he slips out and huddles in the corner waiting for you to finish. But if you pity him and fill up the tub for him he beams at you and breathes deep from the water. 

But when you came back he seemed to already be a bit better. He was astonished that you had brought him a first aid kit and helped patch up the nasty wounds. He held his hand to his mouth as disinfectant was rubbed into the horrible cuts. Trying not to yell out in pain. He looked wary of the pain meds you offered but after an hour he was passed out in the tub and looked so relieved. 

He got better each day and he recuperated much faster than you would have expected. The worst of the cuts healed by the end of the week and replaced by more of his beautiful scales like scar tissue forming over.

He did get in the way when you wanted to shower or bathe and for a good amount of time he’ slide right out of the tub and wait for you to finish but as you spent more and more time together he grew more confident he’d shrink down and sit in a cup, chatting about your days. 

He’d be thrilled if you allowed him in the tub. He knows humans are shy creatures but he doesn’t understand why they are shy without their clothes on. He still respects it, but he'd be happy to swim around the tub with you and perch on your arm or leg. He enjoys the closeness that he misses from his pod. He absentmindedly chewed on rough or dry skin to help relieve itching. You had to explain your skin isn’t like scales, but it's weirdly nice. 

The water bill had gone up more than double. He would get so cold during the time you were gone and fill it up with more warm water. Even in the annoyed state you had to admit when he didn’t fill up the tub with warm water he’d be freezing to the touch.    

Making It Up

Simeon tried so hard to make it up to you while you figured out a way to get him back to the sea. He offered you his scales. Which if brought to a store seemed to enchant people, they'd be dazed and offer you money for the little things. You’d get a pretty penny for them. More than enough to cover the water bill. 

He even offered you his flesh. He promised a chopped off fin or tail would grow back and his flesh offers immorality. Should you have taken him up on it, nothing really felt like it changed. Though you did end up getting a cut that healed within the hour. He tasted like Tilapia almost. Sweet and mild with less of a fishy taste. 

If you refused, he was relieved if not a bit disappointed. He felt like he couldn’t offer much outside of that. 

If you tried offering him other hobbies you found he was good at cooking. A simple few spices and a camping stove right on the window, he made mouthwatering stuff. It was difficult to set up something like that in your bathroom so he didn’t do it often. But he’d ask at least once a week to cook for you. And it didn’t matter if it was sea food or something from the land. He made it perfectly each time. 

He’d feel lonesome when he couldn’t sleep beside you. So as you lay in bed and he lounged in the bathtub he’d sing you a lullaby. His low gentle voice cradled you to sleep and would leave you feeling more refreshed than you had ever had. Even if you weren’t a morning person you found you had more pep in your step. Turns out he’d sing it for his younger pod mates when they’d get scared of the deep dark nights and the abyss of the ocean below. 

But as time went on you both found a comfortable grove despite everything gaping against you. Both of you even questioned if you wanted to leave this new routine you both now shared. Sure he missed his pod mates dearly, but now he had you. He would be devastated to leave you behind after everything you’d done for him. 

Ultimately it was up to you. He couldn’t live on your kindness and charity forever even if he did try to help provide, he knew he could be a nuisance at times. But he’d hope you’d at least adore him as much as he did with you. And would find a way to at least keep in contact with him when the time had come.

You shine your scuba light on an unknown creature that appears to be curious about you. Or hunting you. Either way, you don't know how long it's been watching you, but it doesn't flee when you make eye contact.

First MerMay art! This started out as a practice painting/warm-up but then I got way too invested in it. I actually like how it turned out! Like usual, please don't repost this but feel free to use as phone/desktop wallpapers <3

Jellyfish Prince 💙

#better drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #Happy 'It took me a whole month to figure out what Mermay was all about'! #fun fact about me: prior to all this blog stuff I use to be really fascinated by jellyfish. #to the point they were one of the few things I could draw. #when I was trying to practice art before I started making these comics #I was constantly baffled by hair. I did not understand its form or its mysteries. #Then the ghost of my past jelly-loving self suddenly grabbed me by the shoulders and went 'Dude. just like jellyfish'. #cue me going 'Oh my god. Just like Jellyfish'. And then I kinda got the jist of it. #This is all to say that the majority of LWJ's appearances (especially early on) are 100% directly inspired by jellyfish #This idea has been lingering in my mind for months...being able to pull off an idea and translate it onto the page.... #nothing beats that feeling B'*) #This is teenji btw. He isn't complete unless he's on the verge of extremely frustrated tears. Sopping wet and biting. Just like...jellyfish #And now that I know mermay is a thing I finally have an excuse to dunk him into the water.
