Merman!Romano x Reader

~Le Flashback~


You were eight years old when you were collecting shells on a beach. You and your parents were on vacation and had rented a cabin by the beach. Your dad was fishing while your mom was setting up beach towels and umbrellas.


“Don’t go too far (y/n)! Be careful!” your mother called for you. You nodded and trotted along the soft sand in search of more shells.


The few shells you found were small, some broken and chipped. You frowned as you saw a gathering of flat rocks and boulders near an outpoint of the ocean. You trotted over and carefully leaned over the edge of the rocks. The ocean’s water was clear enough for you to see bright fish and coral below. You suddenly squealed as you leaned too far and fell into the ocean.


~Lovino’s POV~


I was swimming along the coral beds. I was lonely and bored as usual. Grandpa Rome had a flock of mermaids surrounding him and was busy flirting. Mio fratello was getting chased by Holy Roman Empire and was desperately trying to swim away from him. I ventured away from them and saw something thrashing in the water. I swam closer to see it was a human girl. I quickly swam closer and grabbed her arm. I dragged her closer to the rocks and lifted her up and out of the water.


She coughed and shook the water off of her and wringed out her wet hair. She was a bella ragazza, but an idiota!


“are you stupid!? Why were you in the ocean when you can’t swim?” I asked with my arms folded


“I am not stupid! I fell in by accident! I was looking for shells!” she snapped until she looked down and saw my fin.


“You’re a mermaid!” she gasped and I got pissed off


“MERMAN!!” I yelled back


“Oops” she murmured and looked down. I looked over and saw her shells on the rock. They were ugly, broken and cracked.


“I’m going to get you a better shell than those ugly pieces of crap!” I nodded and dived down. I saw a pretty (favorite color) conch nesting near some coral and I grabbed it. I rushed up and held it out to her. She smiled wide and took it.


“It’s my favorite color! And it’s big” she smiled at me and tipped the sea water out of it.


“You’re welcome…..uh….” I forgot to ask for her name.


“Oh, my name’s (y/n)! What’s yours?” she asked and sat on the rock.


“my name is Lovino….” I shyly muttered


“what’s it like being a merperson?” she asked and looked at me eagerly with her large (e/c) eyes.


“It’s a pain in the ass! Stupid dolphins won’t leave you alone, sharks mistake you for food, and seaweed gets caught on our tails!” I groaned as she giggled at my expression.


“Your tail is pretty” she watched as I lifted my red fin out of the water. I watched as she reached out and placed her hand on my tail. It felt almost nice as her fingers felt my scales. She was the first human I’d ever seen, maybe my last. There was no doubt I could forget this moment.


“(y/n)! Time to come back!” she jerked her head up


“That’s my mom, I got to go home now. I hope I’ll get to see you again someday Lovino! Here, you can have my best shell I found since you gave me this one” she handed me a small greenish-blue shell. She waved goodbye as she held her conch and ran off towards two taller humans. I dived under the water and watched her from afar as she left the beach.

~Le Present Day~



It had been several years since I last saw (y/n). I still kept the shell she gave me around my neck as a necklace. Others ridiculed me saying I looked like a mermaid and that mermen wore shark-teeth as necklaces. I sat on a bed of coral as Feliciano flirted with a group of mermaids like Grandpa Rome used to. I sighed and looked up at the sun’s reflection on the water.


“what’s wrong fratello?” Feliciano chirped and swam over to me.


“Go away you guppy-brain!” I hissed.


“something tells me your thinking about a ragazza!~” Feliciano smiled and sat next to me.


“N-no! what make you think that?!” I growled


“You’re blushing and your tail’s twitching!” he chimed as I used my tail to slap him.


“So what if I am?” I huffed and raised an eyebrow at him.


“then go after her! Who is she? Is she someone we know?!” he smiled widely


“I can’t! she’s……she’s a human…..” I muttered


“a human? But fratello, the human men are dangerous! I heard their protective of their women!” Feliciano whimpered like a coward.


“I don’t care! I can kick their stupid asses!”


“But you don’t have legs….”


“SHUT UP!” I hissed at him and swam off. I swam passed mermaids trying to get my attention until I rose to the surface.


I saw a human girl sitting on the beach. She almost looked like, no, it couldn’t be…..



~Your POV~


You sat on the beach with your conch in your lap. You wondered if you’d ever get to see the merman you met almost ten years ago. Would he even remember you?


You stood up walked along the shore until you came across the familiar rocks that was where you first met Lovino. Your mom once told you that sometimes people blew on conches like horns. You sat on the flat rock as you closed your eyes and pressed the conch to your lips. A low resonating tune came booming from the shell.


You could feel the water around your feet move and splash against your calves as you placed the conch on your lap.


“you called bella?” a voice murmured and you opened your eyes and saw Lovino smiling at me. He looked so much more handsome now that he’d matured since you last saw him.


“You remember me?” you asked and smiled as he floated next to the rock.


“how could I forget you, (y/n)?” he smiled and held up the necklace he wore. It was the same shells you gave him as a child.


You smiled and tackled him into a hug, sending you into the water.


“do you even know how to swim!?” Lovino asked


“Of course silly” you chimed and kept hugging him. Lovino could care less and hugged you tightly. He pulled away and fiercely kissed you. You squeaked in surprise, but relaxed and kissed back passionately.


~Extended ending~



“It armost reminds me of that one story invorving a rittre mermaid” Kiku muttered


“Ve~ Wait, does that mean we have to find a sea witch to give fratello legs so he can be with his bella but looses his voice then the sea witch tries to prevent him from kissing the ragazza until fratello can save her and get his voice back so they can get married and live happily ever after?” Feliciano looked at his friend oddly. Kiku rolled his eyes and smacked his friend upside the head with his tail.
