The Little Mermaid... Er, Boy
by LiLi


Over the moonlit waters, a single figure emerges out of the water. It’s a young girl? with long red hair and shining green eyes and a graceful tail that matches the color of her eyes. “I’M NOT A GIRL!!!” Kurama yells. “This is the last time I’m EVER gonna listen to that crazy fic-writer.” Kurama suddenly notices he is being watched and clears his throat. “Umm… I’m supposed to introduce this story which is the version that Disney didn’t and still doesn’t want you to see. Once upon a time…”

Once, under the ocean, there was a kingdom of merpeople. Their king, ruler of the seas, had thirty children. Twenty-nine were girls; the youngest was a boy. The young prince, Quatre, was truly beautiful, with silvery blond hair and sea-blue eyes. As the youngest and the only heir to the sea kingdom, Lord Winner was very protective of his son. He had his forty kinsmen, the Maguanacs, watch over him constantly. Above all, Quatre wasn’t allowed to swim to the surface.

The day he turned fifteen, his sister, Iria, decided to let him see the surface world, just once. That night, he swam up to the surface and looked around curiously. Not far away was a ship. Aboard the ship were the prince of a nearby kingdom, Trowa, and a handful of nobles. Trowa had turned fifteen a few days ago and they were celebrating.

*******************************************************************************

Quatre: I’m not good at swimming.

LiLi: Wanna floatie? *holds out a cute widdle purple inner tube* Quatre: Er….. no thanks.

*******************************************************************************

Quatre, drawn by the bright lights and whoops of laughter, swam closer, his blue tail catching glints of light. He saw a young boy his age, with brown hair that obscured half his face and solemn green eyes that shone like emeralds. He swam closer still, enchanted by the handsome young prince.

Trowa leaned against the ship, bored out of his mind. He felt like something was missing from his life. He saw the skies darken and thunder crash. He heard sailors yelling about a storm. By the time the thought of a dangerous storm made it through his half-asleep consciousness, he was busy chugging seawater. Before blacking out, he saw a young boy swimming towards him. So beautiful… The boy looked like an angel, with blond hair and sapphire eyes. That’s what missing from my life… was Trowa’s last coherent thought before losing consciousness.

Quatre swam to the sinking figure and grabbed him. He had to get the human to the surface; he needed air. He kicked his tail and broke through the surface. He placed the prince on the wet sand and watched him. He didn’t seem to be breathing.

Panic began to take hold of the merboy. He suddenly had an idea. He had heard from his father’s nobles that humans had techniques to get another to start breathing again. He wasn’t sure how, but he had to try. He took a deep breath and placed his lips over the boy’s. His vision started to blur and he felt light-headed. He couldn't stay out of water too long but he really didn’t care at the moment.

Trowa felt someone press their lips against his. It felt wonderful, like a taste of heaven. He stiffly raised his arm, but it felt like lead. It dropped back onto the sand with a wet “plop”. He felt the person pull away and felt a tinge of disappointment. Just then, something pressed against his chest. He opened his eyes to see a young boy lying on top of him, the golden head resting on his chest. His entire lower body was engulfed in water. That’s the boy I saw! He almost cried out with joy. He reached forward to caress the wet blond locks.

Quatre felt like giving up. He pulled away and placed his head on the human’s chest. He sagged with relief when he felt the steady heartbeat. He lay there, panting. He stiffened when he felt someone run there fingers through his hair. He looked up and saw emerald green eyes.

“Who are you?” the boy asked, “I’m Prince Trowa of the L3 Kingdom.” He couldn’t answer. Quatre stared for a minute before turning and diving back into the water. He heard Trowa yell, “Wait! Come back!” but by then the ocean had swept him far away.

Trowa sat there, disappointed. He didn’t have a lot of time to wallow in self-pity because nobles and servants were running toward him, asking ten different questions at once. Silently, he stood and walked to the castle. He looked up at the moon and vowed, I’ll find you, I promise we’ll be together.

Quatre flopped onto his bed. He was so tired and yet, he wanted to see Trowa again. But that wouldn’t happen unless he was human too. Being human… Dorothy, the sea-sorceress, could make him human, couldn’t she? He shook his head and sat up, or something like that. His father would never allow it. But he wanted to be with Trowa so badly, it would be worth it, wouldn’t it? Besides, what his father didn’t know, wouldn’t hurt either of them.

He had decided. He swam out of the castle unnoticed and went to the lair of Dorothy Catalonia, the sorceress of the sea. The blonde girl was waiting for him. She knew what he wanted. “I’ll make you human, but are you sure?” she asked. When the prince nodded, she said, “But in order to do so, I’ll need something in return. I want your voice.” “My voice?! But why?” Quatre cried. “It won’t much difference my prince. You’ll still have your pretty face and golden hair. Besides, if you can always change back and you’ll be able to speak again.” When the sea prince hesitated, Dorothy added, “However, if you do change back, you’ll never be able to be human again.” With that, she flicked her wrist and blue sparks shot up around Quatre. His tail split in two and became legs.

He swam for the surface and staggered onto the beach. Too tired to even think, he collapsed on the sand. When he woke up, he saw someone approaching. It was Trowa! He gazed up at the prince as he stood over him. “It’s you,” Trowa said quietly, “What’s your name?” Quatre opened his mouth but no sound came out. All he could do was look at him with pleading blue eyes.

When the other boy didn’t answer, Trowa murmured, “You can’t talk can you?” The blond nodded sadly, then suddenly turned and began writing in the sand. Trowa watched as letters slowly formed. He looked at the boy and gave him a tiny smile. “Hello Quatre.”

*******************************************************************************

Kurama: Hey, hey! The prince never knew the mermaid’s name!

LiLi: Well he does in this version!

*******************************************************************************

Quatre tried to climb to his feet but his legs gave out from beneath him. Trowa wrapped his coat around him and helped the boy stand. “You can stay with me as long as you want.” He offered as he carried the blond to the palace.

Quatre had never seen anything like it. It was similar to his home but it still amazed him. He snuggled closer to Trowa as he carried him through the halls. Dorothy had never bothered to mention that it wouldn’t be easy to walk the first few times. Three boys were waiting for them. Quatre stiffened, but relaxed when Trowa whispered, “It’s okay. They’re my friends.” He introduced them as Heero, Duo, and Wufei. Heero had messy dark hair and intense cobalt eyes. His chattery and lovely “friend” Duo, had long chestnut tied back in a braid and violet eyes. Wufei had black hair and dark onyx eyes.

Duo, who was apparently thrilled to meet a new friend, practically pounced onto Trowa in a futile attempt to get a better look at Quatre. He didn’t quite make it however, when Heero simply grabbed his braid and tugged it hard. “OOWWWW!!!! HEEEEEEEEERRROOOOOOO!!!!! DON’T PULL MY BRAID!!!!” Quatre watched all of this with wide eyes. Trowa decided it would be best to take him to his room and did just that.

After washing him and giving him a set of clothes, Trowa tried to figure out why his new friend couldn’t talk. Quatre, who was feeling guilty for worrying him, tried to say, “I’m sorry,” but couldn’t. Finally, Trowa settled for being able to read the blond’s lips. He brushed gentle fingers over Quatre’s cheek and whispered, “Don’t be sorry. I don’t care if you can’t speak. I’m just glad I found you again.” He bent down and pressed his lips to the pale forehead.

Quatre’s eyes widened in shock but he didn’t pull away. It was what he wanted, wasn’t it? He wobbled slightly and Trowa put his arms around him to steady him. He was carried to the large, king-sized bed and laid down. He felt Trowa’s weight settle on top of him and temporarily lost all coherent thought.

*******************************************************************************

Kurama: I thought you weren’t doing a lemon or lime or whatever.

LiLi: *shrugs* Eh, I changed my mind.

*******************************************************************************

Trowa began to unbutton Quatre’s shirt. His was somewhere on the floor with his boots. He didn’t know if Quatre was enjoying this as much as he did. He tossed the shirt over his shoulder, without any care of where it landed. He gently sucked on one of his nipples, felling the other tense slightly. “S’alright,” he whispered, “I won’t do anything you don’t want.” Quatre relaxed again and gently stroked Trowa’s hair.

Trowa bent his head and kissed the blond’s neck. Quatre turned to give him better access. Everything… giving up my voice… leaving my family and people… this is worth it… He thought to himself and kissed Trowa’s cheek. Trowa was already starting to tug off both their pants. How he could do both at the same time was a mystery he wasn’t interested in solving. He trailed kisses down Quatre’s body, feeling him and exploring him. The blond in turn, ran his hands down the smooth back.

Trowa paused for a moment and looked at the angel beneath him. “Are you sure? We don’t have to do this. It’s going to hurt a lot.” As an answer to his question, Quatre reached and kissed him on the lips. Trowa gently turned him over onto his stomach and slowly began to enter him. Quatre bit his tongue in an attempt to block out the pain. It’s all worth it … He could feel his brown-haired lover thrusting into him. Just a little more… a minute later, Trowa’s seed exploded into him and he collapsed on to the bed. Quatre lay in his arms, completely exhausted. Both fell asleep instantly.

*******************************************************************************

Kurama: That love scene was kinda short.

LiLi: *smacks him on the head*

*******************************************************************************

Dorothy watched the two sleep. “Soon, I will be able to take over the undersea kingdom.” She had always had intentions to take over the sea kingdom but never could. Now it was only a matter of time before she struck. Dorothy turned to the enormous green serpent behind her. “Isn’t that right my pet?”

Sunlight shined on the small figure curled beneath the covers. Quatre stirred and opened blue eyes still fogged with sleep. Trowa had already dressed and left, but he knew he would come back later. The door creaked open and Duo bounced in, dressed in his usual black outfit. “OOOHHAAAAYYYOOOOO QUATRE!!!” Duo jumped on the bed and looked down at the blond boy sitting in front of him. “Oi Quatre, you should get up. Heero and Wu-chan won’t play with me.” An irritated “Don’t call me that!” sounded from the hallway. Trowa stepped in and scooted Duo out of the room, “I’ll help him. Just wait.”

He helped Quatre out of bed and get dressed. He took the blond’s hand and led him outside saying, “I should introduce you to my father. He saw me bring you in the other day and I haven’t told him yet.” Trowa’s father Trieze, looked nothing like his son. The king of L3 had short, tawny hair and blue eyes. His eyebrows had an unusual shape and were forked at the end. To his right stood Lady Une, his advisor. Zechs, Captain of the Guard, was at his left. Rumor had it that Trieze was having an affair with the tall platinum-blond haired man, but that was just gossip, at least that’s what everyone thought.

His father raised a forked eyebrow at the small blond boy standing before him, “So this is the boy you found on the beach?” Trowa nodded, his face devoid of any emotion. Without saying anything else, Trieze simply dismissed him and went to his quarters, taking Zechs with him. What they did in there was what everyone thought was “just a rumor”. Duo chose that moment to grab Heero and run out to the courtyard, dragging a yelling Wufei with them. A minute later, he popped back in and added Trowa and Quatre to his armful.

The first thing Duo did was show Quatre the gundams they piloted. His gundam, DeathScythe, was mostly black and carried a thermal scythe. Heero’s was Wing Zero and Wufei’s was Shenlong. Trowa’s gundam was HeavyArms. The last gundam, SandRock, didn’t have a suitable pilot. They were like the mobile suits his father’s army used. When Quatre had seen all five, The braided boy dragged them to the gardens.

Outside, Duo ran around the gardens and chattered incessantly. Quatre was amazed at the way the braided boy could talk without ever stopping for air. After a while, Duo settled for draping himself over Heero, who shot him a Death Glare TM but failed to disengage the talking braid from his body.

Quatre, on the other hand, was perfectly content with snuggling up against Trowa. The brown-haired prince gently petted the soft blond hair and occasionally pressed a kiss to the golden locks. Wufei sat next to them, muttering about the braided baka. Duo whipped around and planted himself in front of the black-haired boy, “Just who are you calling a baka, you slanty-eyed china boy?” “You, braid-boy!” Quatre watched this little discussion with interest, then turned around in Trowa’s arms and nuzzled closer. The prince smiled gently and held his lover closer.

“HEEEEEEEEEEERRROOOOOOOO!!!!!!” All five turned around and stared as a girl with wheat-blonde hair and blue eyes came running up the hill they were sitting on. “Relena,” Heero said flatly. Duo immediately wrapped himself around the cobalt-eyed boy and glared at Relena. “MINE!” Unfazed, the girl attached herself to Heero the way Quatre had seen oysters attach themselves to rocks. His lips formed words “Who is she?” and Trowa replied, “Her name’s Relena Peacecraft. Zechs is her brother. Heero was to be her betrothed but he wasn’t going to let it happen.” Quatre nodded, feeling sorry for the other boy. His own father would have arranged plans for marriage, that is, if he hadn’t left.

*******************************************************************************

Kurama: Why Relena?

Heero: Yeah, why? *points gun at the fic writer*

LiLi: Heero!!! Get your butt back into that fic!

*******************************************************************************

Duo jumped up and steered Relena away, “MINE MINEMINEMINE!!!!” When he had all but thrown the Peacecraft down the hill, he went over and plopped down beside Heero. “Duo…. Omae o korosu.” “Mine.”

Quatre stood up and tugged at Trowa’s hand. The prince understood what the blond was saying, or at least trying to. He stood up and ran after him. Quatre ran through a grove of trees with Trowa right behind him. The brown-haired boy tackled the other and sent them both sprawling. He pinned Quatre’s wrists over his head and kissed him. He began to unbutton the blond’s shirt while smaller hands began undoing his own. He pulled Quatre’s boots off and tugged his pants off. What they did for next few hours is up to anyone else’s imagination.

When they came back, both boys had rumpled clothing and mussed hair. Duo took one look at them and dragged Heero back to the palace, probably to a secluded place. Wufei walked off to the gardens, saying he would be training if anyone needed him. Trowa cupped his lover’s chin and smiled. “We need to get cleaned up.”

Duo rolled over and sighed happily. He draped an arm over Heero’s back and grinned. He hadn’t had anything like that for a while now. “Heero?” “Hn…?” “We need to have nookie like that every night.” “We do have that every night, baka.” Duo scrunched up his face and whined, “But you never let me be on top.” “Hn… baka.” “Heeeeerrrroooo!!!”

*******************************************************************************

Duo: Waaaaaaaaahh! Why do I hafta be on the bottom for this fic! You promised!

LiLi: Oops, I uh….. did it again?

*******************************************************************************

Quatre settled into the warm bathwater and flicked a soap bubble at Trowa. His taller lover reached forward and gently played with the damp locks. “So lovely…” he whispered, stroking soft, wet skin. Quatre blushed and snuggled closer. Trowa put an arm around him and closed his eyes.

*******************************************************************************

Trowa: *makes a face* I think that’s a little too mushy.

Quatre: *silently nods in agreement* ………

LiLi: I like it that way. Hey waitaminute! I thought Trowa never talked!

*******************************************************************************

Dorothy turned to the sea serpent beside her. “It’s time my pet.” She swam off to the sea kingdom with the serpent swimming alongside her. “The sea kingdom will be all mine.”

Quatre saw a huge green serpent destroying his kingdom. His people, his family, they were all being destroyed. “Father! Iria! Rasid!” No one answered. He was the only one left. Suddenly, the thick green tail wrapped around him, crushing him….

“NOOOOOOO!!!!!” Quatre sat up, gasping for air. Trowa wrapped his arms around the shaking body and cradled him. He brushed aside sweat-soaked strands and asked, “Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?” Quatre shook his head. “I’m fine, it’s nothing” Trowa knew he was lying, but didn’t press him. He seemed so fragile; he didn’t want to upset him further. He lay back down and held him tightly. When Trowa fell asleep, Quatre slipped out of bed and watched him sadly. I have to save my people… please understand… He silently left the bedroom and went down to the beach. Trowa slept on, unaware of the letter Quatre had slipped into his hand.

The blond boy stepped into the cold water, took a deep breath, and dove in. His legs melded together and became his tail. He kicked and swam as quickly as he could for the sea kingdom. He shot past coral reefs and kelp forests. He was almost there… just a little further… Suddenly, a massive green tail shot out and wrapped around him. He struggled but to no avail. Dorothy swam up and smiled. Not a nice smile. “Well, if it isn’t the little sea prince. I thought you’d be happy as a human.” Quatre squirmed, only to have the serpent’s grip tighten. “You tricked me, but I won’t let you destroy my people.” Dorothy’s smile faded. “That’s too bad. I’ll still need you for my plan and I need your cooperation.” The serpent squeezed tighter still and Quatre’s vision began to blur. He passed out, his head lolling to one side. Dorothy swam toward the sea kingdom with the sea snake still holding the blond prince.

Trowa woke up. Something was wrong. He looked around, only to find empty sheets. He read the letter in his hand and got out of bed. He set a record time for dressing and raced to Heero and Duo’s room.

Heero was awake the minute Trowa stepped into his bedroom. Duo fell out of the bed and whined, “I don’t wanna get up! It’s still night-time!” Trowa’s face was drawn and anxious. “Quatre’s in trouble. He needs us.” Duo shot up, threw his clothes on and ran for his gundam. Heero went to get Wufei and Trowa ran after Duo. Soon after, four mobile suits flew across the night sky.

“Anyone got a lock on him?” Trowa asked. Heero pointed down at the ocean. “There.” The gundams plunged into the waters. Trowa looked around, hoping to see the blond boy. Hold on Quatre… we’re coming…

The serpent crushed buildings and mobile suits alike and began to coil its absurdly long body around the palace. Lord Winner ordered the Maguanacs to fight, but he told them to stop shooting when he saw his son in the snake’s grip. He was about to surrender when four mobile suits appeared.

Quatre began to regain consciousness. He was still trapped in the serpent’s grip. He tried to get free, but nothing worked. He suddenly saw four gundams. “Trowa!” The HeavyArms pilot looked and saw Quatre. He was pale and drained, but still alive. He lunged forward, spraying bullets into the serpent’s skin. It hissed in pain and swatted at him with its tail. Quatre drifted free and tried to swim to safety. “HAHA SHINIGAMI LIVES!!!” Duo crowed as he cut through the snake with his scythe. To his dismay, the end that was cut off became another one. “We need to cauterize it when we cut it.” Heero said. “Cauter- what?” “We need to seal it shut so it won’t multiply, baka.” “I’m not an idiot, Wu-chan!!” “Hn…”

Wufei’s extending dragon shot forward and cut deep into the reptile skin. It hissed loud enough to shatter glass and crumpled. Duo held up his scythe and began to cut the head off. “Cut slowly Duo.” “Yes Mommy,” DeathScythe proudly held up the head and beamed. “Heero, can I keep it as a pet?”

*******************************************************************************

Duo: Hey can I keep it as a pet?

LiLi, Heero, Wufei, Kurama, Trieze, Zechs, Trowa, and Quatre: No.

*******************************************************************************

Meanwhile, Trowa continued to shoot at the second one. Quatre watched helplessly as the serpent knocked HeavyArms around with its tail. The gundam toppled over and it raised its tail for another blow. “TROWA NO!!” Quatre screamed. The huge tail came hurtling down, trying to split HeavyArms in two. What it hit instead was not it intended. The impact slammed Quatre into the ocean floor. Trowa’s eyes widened impossibly. “QUATRE!!” If HeavyArms couldn’t take the blows, there wasn’t much chance that the sea prince could have survived. The screen flickered, revealing Quatre’s face. Dark bruises marred the delicate skin, but he could see his chest rising and falling in labored breaths.

Green eyes went dead and emotionless as the mobile suit stood up. Bullets and explosives shot out from different parts of the gundam and the serpent exploded.

Dorothy was enraged. She didn’t think that it would turn out this way. She raised her arms and an enormous whirlpool appeared. It swept up fish and rocks alike and strew them all over the beach. Wing Zero and Shenlong were caught in the whirlpool and thrown to the surface. Dorothy watched with a look of triumph. With both the heir and the king unable to fight back, she would be able to take over the sea kingdom. Suddenly, she was swept into the whirlpool. “No!” She tried to swim out but the current was too strong. She would have to use her sorcery to escape. Before she could even think of a spell, she saw Gundam DeathScythe looming over her. “See ya in Hell!” Duo swung the scythe and the sorceress was no more.

Trowa struggled against the current, but he couldn’t break free. “Have to… get to Quatre… he needs me…” The blond boy drifted past him, caught in the whirlpool. HeavyArms couldn’t hold out any further. The gundam was thrown onto the beach, its pilot unconscious.

Trowa’s head ached. If he wasn’t sitting in his gundam, he would’ve thought it was firing every round it had in his head. He stumbled out of the cockpit and fell onto the sand. He stiffly stood up and looked around. He saw a limp body drifting in a shallow tidepool. He ran over and knelt beside him. He frowned at the bruises that dotted the ivory skin. “Quatre…” he gathered the limp body into his arms. Lashes fluttered open, revealing blue eyes.

“Trowa?” Small fingers reached up to touch the brown hair. Trowa gripped the pale fingers and kissed them. Nearby, Lord Winner watched. He turned to Iria and asked, “They truly love eachother don’t they?” The other three pilots walked over with Trieze and Zechs following. Quatre gently stroked his cheek. “I’ll stay with you… ” Trowa shook his head. “No, I want to stay with you.” The two older men exchanged a look before Trieze said, “You want to live in the ocean?” “I’m going with ya!!!” Duo grabbed Heero and started to drag him into the water. Quatre’s father turned to Iria with a questioning look. Iria, who had had her own share of sorcery, waved her hand and sparks shot up around Trowa. His legs vanished, leaving an emerald green tail the same color as his eyes. He helped Quatre over to the water. Duo jumped into his gundam and as it slowly began to walk into the water, he jumped out yelling, “I’m not leavin’ without Shinigami!

He grabbed Heero and both plunged into the ocean. Duo’s legs changed into a black tail and Heero’s tail was cobalt blue. When they surfaced, Heero pulled out a remote control from who knows where and pressed a button. Just like DeathScythe, Wing Zero began to walk to the water. “You could’ve just done that you know.” Duo’s only response was to stick his tongue out.

Trieze lifted a spidery eyebrow and said, “You three might as well take HeavyArms and Sandrock with you. The last thing I need are big clunky mobile suits lying around.” Heero shrugged and pressed a second button. HeavyArms followed Wing Zero and a minute later, Sandrock plunged into the sea. As the four merboys swam away, Trieze looked at Wufei. He edged closer and snaked an arm around the Chinese boy’s waist. “You know, Zechs and I always did want a threesome.” Wufei stared at him in horror and dove into ocean. Iria, who was still there, cast another spell and his legs became a dusky gold-red tail. Zechs called out after him, “You forgot something!” Both Heero and Wufei popped back up. Heero reached for the remote control but Wufei grabbed it and pressed a random button, ranting something about his Nataku, salt-water, and fish. When Shenlong was completely submerged, the last two finally joined the other three.

The sea kingdom was restored, with the help of the gundams and their pilots. Quatre was eventually trained and became Sandrock’s pilot. Not having legs or anything below the waist was total hell for Duo’s sex life. For Quatre and Trowa, it wasn’t that big of a deal and Wufei never had to avoid a horny Trieze again.

*******************************************************************************

Trieze: Damn…… A threesome would’ve been nice.

Wufei: Kisama! Get away from me!

LiLi: *rolls her eyes*

Duo: Waaaaahh! I hate fish tails! Heero doesn’t have a libido in this fic and I wanted to be on top!

LiLi, Heero, Wufei, Trieze, Zechs, Trowa, and Quatre: Duo, SHUT UP!

Duo: Eep….

*******************************************************************************

Kurama grins. “And they lived happily ever after.” He looks up at the heavens and yells, “Can I take off this stupid shell-bra now?” The author suddenly appears next to him in a poof of fairy dust. “Are you sure? Hiei thinks you look cute.”
