Summary: Arthur is spending a normal summer at his father's beach house in Cape Cod, when he encounters the extraordinary in the form of an enthusiastic young merman named Alfred, who holds an intense curiosity for Arthur. Over one summer, they'll fall in love. Over one summer, their lives will change forever.
Chapter Summary: He blew a string of bubbles from his mouth, exasperated. “Well… it’s not like us. There aren’t that many merpeople in the world, and a lot of the ones that are out there, we’ll never meet. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of us are really awesome, but the selection is kind of… limited,” Alfred began. “There are billions of people in the world. Arthur says there are like three hundred million in America alone! We watched a video about it…”

“A video?” Toris raised his eyebrows, quizzically.

Alfred laughed. “On a pho--- oh, never mind. I’ll explain that part later. Anyway, because of that, because they meet so many other people, a lot of them take longer to… you know…” his cheeks reddened, “choose someone.”

Toris nodded. “Humans are strange...”

“Yeah, but it’s sort of awesome,” Alfred laughed.
Author's Note: Hello everyone! I wanted to get some fic updates in earlier this month, but I've been pretty stressed with stuff. *^^* Also, thanks to luvpixel for this adorable fanart of America.

( I could just tell you that it’s because he’s allergic to perverts, but I don’t think you’d buy that... )

Chapter Summary: “…He’s not entirely human. Half human, rather. I… suppose that would be the best way to describe it. And that’s why I asked you about the sight and all. Because… well I HAVE seen something out of the ordinary. In fact, I’m dating it and…” He smacked his forehead. “Oh Christ, I’m babbling, aren’t I? Better to do that than stop and hear you pronounce me nutters but… yes, it appears this Chime Child thing has returned because I am…”

“…Arthur?”

“Dating a merman.”
Author's Note: I don't really have any excuse for lack of updates recently outside of epic writer's block. Hopefully I'm over it now. I have received four beautiful fanarts since my last update! ArthurxAlfred (with seals!) by abarero, ArthurxAlfred by colevic, ArthurxAlfred by Chao-lover2, and Alfred by lumossolarum. Amazing artists are utterly amazing!

Irene is an OC.

( Arthur was… something special. And if a hero like him thought someone was special, that meant a lot! )

Chapter Summary: And there was a feeling of dread in Arthur’s stomach, because he just knew that Francis was going to bring up Alfred. No doubt when all his obnoxious friends were still there, so he could be further embarrassed. With a huff and a curse, Arthur pushed himself off the couch and left the room for the kitchen.

Author's Note: So I went out of town right after my last fic update, and then, upon returning, got super sick for like three weeks. Ack! Hopefully updates will be back to normal now...

Chapter Summary: He really, really wanted to be Arthur’s friend. It wasn’t hard to admit. Okay, he was a human, and that was an automatic plus. But Alfred liked talking to him. They were around the same age, and he was fun to watch, if unintentionally so. From the way he scowled to the way his eyebrows (which were really big!) furrowed to his weird accent. He wasn’t entirely like any human that Alfred had ever observed.
Author's Note: Three fic updates in a row. Hopefully I can keep this up! :D! I have some characters in this chapter that don't have canon human names.
