prince johnny & the mermaid
(its u. ur the mermaid) 
ft. some other nct princes & mermen 
basically takes place in the same au as mermaid taeyong which if u havent read is here! 
so ... ur a mermaid princess from a different kingdom 2 taeyong n the rest of the nct mermaid gang.
& you’re visiting because the Ruler of Ur Kingdom (ur dad) has 2 go for the annual Mermaid Council Meeting and is like “listen you’re the next in line to rule you have to come.. You need to learn what your responsibilities are gonna be” 
n you dont rlly wanna go but you’re like FINE whatever. 
so you tag along & u dont rlly bother meeting the citizens of the nct kingdom bc you’re gonna be there for like a week tops before u gotta leave again so whats??? the Point. 
u basically plan to spend the week in ur Luxurious Clam Shell sleeping.
but you get bored so u decide to swim off towards the castle bc u overheard someone saying how pretty it is so u wanna see for yourself!!! 
bc ur kingdom is in the middle of the Ocean so you’ve never actually seen a castle. or Humans rlly. 
But you’ve heard about them! 
so you’re swimming 2 the castle when u hear someone singing ... and you’re like okay well im the only mermaid here so!! thats gotta be a HUMAN 
so u poke ur head out of the water but u dont .... see anyone? 
but u recognise the song they’re singing so once they’ve stopped u sing the next part of the song back 2 them ... hiding behind a rock so they dont see u O F C ! 
you’re not about 2 get urself caught pffff ! 
& u see a head poke out of one of the windows and ur like TIME TO GO! 
but not without gettin a glance of tht incredibly ,,, ,handsome face ,,, 
anyways this continues for like ! 3 days. u go to the same spot, hear the same beautiful boy singing & sing back 2 him when he stops . 
n he looks out of the window Every! Time! but you’re 2 quick for him 2 see you lol
but then u go back the 4th day ,,, n u hear music but no??? singing?? 
so u go a little closer n perch yourself on a rock tryin 2 get a closer listen, n u hear the most beautiful melody coming from the same room. 
and before u know it you’re humming along.
its not until a little while later tht u realise the music has stopped and ur just going along on ur own and u look up 2 see The Boy(tm)... 
in a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up n these dorky glasses (Y’all know the look im on abt  ..... That Look).
n you’re like .... GOTTA BLAST!!!!!!!! 🐠💨💨💨
n here’s the thing .... prince johnny cannOT stop thinking about u.... nd it was all a ruse ! 
obviously not in a Bad Way he just wanted 2 find out who was fINISHING HIS SONGS BEFORE HE GOT THE CHANCE 
n he didnt.... think you’d be tht beautiful ..... 
& he spots ur tail as ur escaping and he’s like ... HOLD ON A COTTON PICKIN MINUTE ! 
lucky for him ... it was Cupcake Collection Day(tm) for his good Mermaid Pal Taeyong 
so while taeyong is eating his cupcake .... johnny brings up The Topic 
“so uh,,, taeyong,,,  u know pretty much everyone in ur kingdom right???”
taeyong with a mouth full of cupcake: i guess 
“so uh there’s this.... person .... a merperson, if u will, and u Gotta help me find them” 
taeyong: “whats in it for me???”
johnny: “an extra cupcake” 
“make it 12″ 
“6.” 
“ok deal” 
so johnny tells taeyong abt this mermaid ,,,, a Beautiful mermaid with the most Beautiful voice 
“are u sure ur not talking about taeil?” 
“shut up im sure” 
so taeyong is like kk ill help u lol 
“taeyong u cant help him. they have 2 leave in like 2 days” - doyoung
“bUT HE LOVES THEM!!!!” - yuta 
“he hasn’t even met them!!!” 
“IT'S CALLED LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!” 
“that isnt a thing!” 
yuta pulls out a rose & hands it to taeyong “tell them it’s from johnny” 
“where did you even get that from?” - taeyong
“he just carries them around. it’s better not to ask” - johnny 
MEANWHILE you’re at a Boring Mermaid Council Meeting 
“ok listen ,,, we get that ur helping the humans by sabotaging the sirens but ... its gotta stop they’re goin 2 other kingdoms who have Enough Problems” 
and that subject peaks ur interest.
these ... mermaids are sabotaging sirens?? Lmao serves them RIGHT ! 
so after the meeting ,
like, later at night, u hear this off-key singing and you’re like ok what the F
and ofc u gotta check it out because what MerMoron is disgracing ur Entire people like that.
n there u see Merman Moon Taeil, a couple meters behind sirens, hangin out by boats tryin 2 Do Their Thing.
but they can’t because Merman Moon Taeil is singing ,, horribly out of tune and off-key and it Clicks. 
this is how they’re saving sailors lol. singing loudly and off-key to drown out the sirens song . its pretty smart. 
n this guy looks like he’s havin the Time of his Life, so u swim up behind him n join in. 
u 2 are havin a WHALE of a time , singing out of key n just absolutely ruining the sirens favourite pastime 
but then u spot one wander off n you’re like ..... well that’s not suspicious AT ALL 
so u Follow. and then you see this Lone Guy in a tiny boat and you’re like what kinda DUMBASS 
and u poke ur head up to get a look at the idiot that’s on his own & JUST UR LUCK its Cute Castle Guy. 
literally ur only thought is “is this boy actually 100% For Real what is he Doing” 
and u dont! Have time to start singing off key because he’s pretty much already Hooked on this sirens song so .... 
u straight up tackle the thing away from him. No1 is hurting ur Cute Castle Boy with the nice voice. Not on UR Watch .
n ur fightin with this thing for a Good Couple Minutes until it just hisses @ u and goes back 2 its own gang. 
“YEAH THATS RIGHT U RUN AWAY !!! n dONT COME BACK!!” - you until u realise u should Probably check to make sure the boat hasnt crashed or something.
He’s a bit dazed n confused and has No Idea what the Heck just happened
and johnny is so pretty u just kinda stare for a while until ur like Right i should probably ,,, like ,, make sure he doesnt Die.
so with all ur Mighty Mermaid Power u push his boat back 2 shore 
by which time he’s completely Mostly recovered 2 the point he can recognise u and he’s like 
“ITS U!” 
to which you, once again, gotta blast 🐠💨💨💨
but he , being Cute Clumsy Castle Idiot tries 2 be all dramatic and grabs ur arm , 
proceeding 2  FALL Out of his boat face first into wet sand with the occasional wave just .... rolling over him .
and you’re like .... really ??? Really now. Really .
*ur longest deepest sigh ever* 
“are you ok?” 
he holds 1 hand up and does the a-okay sign.
u cover ur mouth so he doesnt hear u LAUGH
he hears it. looks up. gives u that dUMB EMBARRASSED JOHNNY SMILE. (U know the one). 
 n you BLUSH because he’s so gosh Darn CUTE. even if he is an IDIOT. 
“i just wanted 2 make sure u were okay ...” he says in the Sweetest most Caring voice Ever and it makes ur heart melt BEcause .... .
“I COULD HAVE SWAM TO ANOTHER COUNTRY N UR JUST GONNA GRAB MY ARM LIKE THAT U COULD HAVE D I E D!!! I did Not just save u for you to DIE” 
that stupid dumb embarrassed johnny smile is STILL THERE and you’re trying to Convince yourself he is Not Cute Enough for ur poor heart 2 be Racing like This. 
“whatever ,,,,,,,,, im fine thank you” 
but he spots that nasty scratch on ur cheek courtesy of that stupid poor excuse for a sea witch n he .... puts his hand on ur cheek . 
and ur brain is Screaming at u GOTTA GO MY OWN WAY but u cant ... bring urself... to leave bc he’s LOOKING at u ,,,,  
OH Boy ,,,, 
he’s Really ,, Looking at u with those big concerned eyes and ur Poor Heart literally cannot cope like ... his hand is so ,, ,warm and 
even though all he’s done is move a piece of ur hair  ,,, and tucked it behind ur ear ,, 
you’re already feeling a lil bit better.
so instead ur like “pff whatever its just a Scratch” Because You! are One Tough Cookie 
adn u dont need this Beefy arm Boy lookin @ u like That.
“it looks really painful!! Wait here we have a first aid kit in the lifeguard hut!” 
you go 2 stop him but he’s already up and running so all u can do is like ,, roll ur eyes n Sigh & wait for him to come back
n he does and you’re like “Listen u really don’t need to do this im a mermaid we don’t feel pain.” 
he proceeds 2 dab a cotton pad 2 ur cheek & u hiss at him because 
“THAT HURTS !!!” 
“ok 1. i should have warned u its going to sting and 2. ur a LIAR one of the kennel dogs got overhyped & scratched doyoung by accident. he cried like a baby” 
you laugh n johnny thinks ,, its the most beautiful sound in the entire world. 
like he’s got 1 hand by ur cheek trying to clean ur battle wound but he’s just sO ,,, entranced by your laugh that he just , forgets what it was he was doing. 
“hey bud are you ok?” 
“YES! Yes , ,i am sorry i was just ,, where was I.” 
he’s LOOKING at u again and like , you’re honestly Just as lost as he is because ,, 
up close u can finally see his eyes and they are just. so pretty are humans Supposed ??? To be This Pretty?
& suddenly u realise Why humans make statues & paintings of Other Humans because like, wow they’re So Beautiful. 
is there a statue of this breathtaking boy sat in front of you out there somewhere? There should be. 
he clears his throat eventually and runs his hand thru his hair n does a little embarrassed laugh , 
“by the way um ,, did you get that rose ? From taeyong?”
and you’re like “uhhh,, the what from who now?” 
n he hits himself mentally bc DUH Doyoung said u were from another kingdom so like , maybe u never met them he doesn’t know so he’s just like “nevermind!!” 
and that’s when it hits u... You don’t even know Cute Castle Boy’s NAME.
BUT youre leaving soon so u figure it doesnt matter anyways :(
so you’re like uhhh i should ,,, go. thank u for ,,, this.
n he’s like !! wait idk ur name!!!!!
so you tell him,, n he repeats it & like
youve had Literal Ocean Royalty sing ur name to get ur attention but.
it doesnt even COMPARE to the way he says it.
and u tell urself that it doesnt matter. u need to Stop bc you are leaving there is Nothing u can do about it
and he’s about to tell you his name but. it’s just Better for u that you Dont know it and he stays as Cute Castle Guy
so before u can even hear him say his own name You Are Outta There bc!
no! attachments!
esp not to humans!
and johnny ,,, 
poor sweet johnny is just.dumbfounded and lost bc?
what. Just happened. 
the next day ,, Johnny plays his piano hoping that you’ll pop up and sing along to his playing, and when he realises that like,, you’re not gonna show up he just . his hands slump against the keys n he’s just ?
what did he do Wrong? 
eventually he has to meet taeyong 2 give him the cupcakes even though taeyong was No Help at All 
and johnny ends up eating most of them himself and taeyong is like ok buddy spill the beans whats wrong 
so johnny tells him abt you ,,, and that he Finally met u and you Saved Him! but u left before he could tell you his name n you didn’t show up to sing today and 
taeyong feels a lil guilty but He knows there’s not much he can do because like , you’re from a different kingdom ? Ur literally the future ruler ,, so he can’t try 2 convince u to stay. 
BUT You’re not actually Leaving until tomorrow so Maybe. he can convince u to see johnny before u go. 
so he’s like “leave it to me!!!” and finishes his cupcake before zooming off to find you.
but he has 2 find doyoung & taeil first because they need to come up with a Plan
& they find u sitting pretty in ur  little Clam Shell just ... looking Very? Confused and
suddenly the big Plan is out of the window because doyoung swims straight up to you, looks you in the eye and says, “our human friend is a Mess.” 
and you’re like ?? Who even Are you but then u recognise taeil behind him who’s waving at you and you’re like oh ok one of his weird friends.
and you’re like “anyways idk who you’re talking about” 
“our FRIEND. u saved him last night ! His name is-”
“DONT SAY IT I dont need 2 know his name!!!” 
and doyoung is getting a liiiiiittle annoyed because like, despite everything johnny is his FRIEND and he wants him 2 be happy!! so he just backs off and taeyong takes his place like ,
“listen. we’ve known him for a while now & he’s never talked about any1 like this before. n we know you’re leaving but he would rlly love to get the chance to talk 2 u.” 
and now you’re more confused than ever!! Because you’re leaving Really Soon and you don’t! need this! 
but he’s so cute ,,, and seeing that dumb smile of his one last time wouldn’t hurt, , right?
“ok fine tell him. i’ll be sittin on the rock by his window tomorrow at dawn, before i leave.” 
the 3 boys high five n taeyong secretly wonders if he’ll get more cupcakes for this.
The Next Morning at like ? 6am. you’re nervous as Hell. 
you really shouldn’t be doing this because its just going to make things worse for you And for him. 
but you’ll probably never see him again ? So, just 2 yknow, say it was nice to meet him and goodbye, u show up.
Also maybe get a cupcake ? because taeyong literally would not shut up about them and now you really want to try one. 
you show up. and johnny is already there , holding a rose 
(a nice one. not a fake one like the ones yuta carries around)
and he looks Super nervous and you’re also Really nervous but. 
you swim up to him anyway and poke his arm. 
which makes him jump 
and that embarrassed smile comes out again and you can literally feel your heart melting because god he is Adorable. 
and you’re starting to think this was a Really Bad Idea. 
but he looks at you and he hands you the rose, and you’re about to speak when he stops you, 
“I just. Wanted to say thank you for saving me. And the guys told me you’re leaving and that really sucks but I’m really happy you decided to see me again.”
and you just. for once in your life you’re speechless and you just stare at the rose he gave you and. eventually you just manage to stutter out a “you’re welcome” and 
you two are just staring at each other for what feels like Hours. and you’re pretty sure you could do it for a lot longer because he’s just so nice to look at. 
but before you know it, doyoung & taeil are behind you, and they’re like, “you gotta go, your dad is waiting for you.” 
and it feels like your heart is breaking because ! you dont wanna go! you wanna stay and you want to get to know Cute Castle Boy.
but you have a kingdom to rule over in the future. 
so you try not to look too sad as u look at johnny and give him a smile, 
and he cups ur cheek the same way he did the night before ,and he’s pulling you closer and before you know it his lips are on your cheek
and you’re Blushing like Crazy! !!!! because oh my god he just kissed you. 
he finally moves his hand from your cheek 2 your hands,
“my name is Johnny, by the way” 
Fuck.
you cant really do or say anything because you gotta leave Now. 
so you look back one last time before joining the boys and give him a little wave, and he waves back before watching you swim away. 
So, here’s the thing.
When you were a baby, a tiny little adventurous mermaid swimming along dolphins three times your size, 
you had accidentally gotten a little carried away and wandered outside of your kingdom barriers, 
lost and confused, you found a light which you followed into a cave, 
and there you met ur friendly neighbourhood sea witch. 
she hadn’t really been banished from your kingdom, mostly because she knew she wasn’t welcome so she just kept to herself. 
but she thought, hey! if i help the ruler’s kid get back to the kingdom, maybe they’ll realise im Not So Bad and accept me. 
so she takes you in, makes sure you’re safe, and helps you find your way back .
UR FATHER, however, freaks the hell out and starts going off about how,
“This wicked sea witch tried to KIDNAP my child! How dare you! You are Banished” 
so , the sea witch does what literally Every Other Disney Villain would do. 
she puts a curse on you before the king tosses her out on her ass.
This curse,  however. 
when you fall in love, you’ll turn into a human so you can’t Be with them. (because yknow everyone thought you’d fall in love with some Beautiful Mermaid Royalty) 
so while you’re swimming home,
taeil, doyoung and taeyong volunteering to be your escorts, making sure u get home safe and sound.
(you didnt really need them but those boys are Stubborn and also wanted 2 see what your kingdom looks like) 
but because they’re there you don’t really need to stay with ur dad; you’re old enough & ugly enough 2 take care of yourself and show your friends your favourite parts of the journey back
but suddenly you’re finding it really hard to breathe and swimming is Really difficult
and something is Horribly, horribly wrong. 
so you grab whatever you can which happens to be doyoung’s tail 
and he turns around like what the Hell. 
Oh, shit. 
he’s yelling for the other boys 2 help you and ur dad is too far ahead to hear whatever is going on.
so the boys take it upon themselves 2 save U. 
and they’re swimming back to the beach as fast as they can and they get to shore and luckily! 
Johnny is sitting there, looking out at the ocean wondering if he’ll ever see you again. 
and doyoung is just Yelling at him
“DO U HAVE TOWELS GET SOME TOWELS DO U KNOW CPR!!!!!!!!!!” 
so johnny has no idea what the Heck is going on but he runs to get towels, helps the boys wrap you up and take you to the lifeguard hut 
where johnny puts u on the sofa and he’s like , desperately trying 2 get u to wake up. doing cpr and whatever else he can .
like he has no idea whats going on but you’re here and you’re not breathing and he’s panicking because like, he can’t lose you??? He can’t. He Wont. 
and its been what seems like fOREVER but you’re finally! coughing up water and you can breathe again and you’re feeling Very lightheaded and dizzy but all you can really think about is. 
that Johnny’s face is hovering over yours and he looks like he’s about to throw up but then he sees your eyes open and he has Never 
felt this much relief in his Life! 
and before you can even Process what the hell is going on, he’s leaning in closer and you’re kind of trying to figure out what’s going on but! 
he already has his arms wrapped around you so tight, never ever wanting to let go because 
he could live with himself knowing you were out there, alive with the slightest chance of coming back to visit him 
but he would never be able to bear it if you were gone forever .
so he just keeps you in his arms for a Very Long time, whispering in ur ear how scared he was, that he thought he’d lost you. 
the other boys have left u alone, yuta and doyoung arguing outside
“i TOLD U love at first sight was real!”
“shut up yuta they almost DIED” 
“he saved them! he saved them with true loves first kiss” 
“he literally gave them cpr” 
but ignoring those 2 bickering.
u and Johnny are just. holding each other and. you can’t explain it but it feels Right that you’re with him
and he is just so happy that you’re alive and okay. 
and everything just feels like it’s falling into place. 
and before anything else happens you’re just . kissing him .
and he’s kissing you back.
and it all just feels so Perfect.
