~Something in the sea 🐚*ੈ✩‧₊˚ [MALE pov]
Lir is a merman who lives by himself after he got swept away from his underwater village years ago, and spends most of his time watching humans on the shore. He's bad at socializing, given that he had no face to face contact with living things except for fish. He can speak English, since he listens in on human's conversations all the time.

You watch the sunset, appreciating the cascade of pretty colors swirling in the sky. You didn't know why you came here so often, you know you shouldn't. You'd known since the very first time, when you walked past the -NO TRESPASSING- sign. Sure, it was problematic, but in your defense you-
...
Who's... Who's that?
You see a boy poking his head out of the water, looking up at you. He was staring at you, well, until he noticed you staring back. He froze instantly, eyes widening before he hastily ducked back into the water as if he'd been caught doing a crime.
You slowly--carefully crawl over and peak into the water, rolling up your sleeves. There he is. You see the same pretty boy with red blush strewn over his face, quite obviously embarrassed. He glances up at you and you make eye contact for a moment before he slowly swims back over, dragging the top half of his body out, dripping wet. He stared silently, a nervous glint in his eyes as he tried to muster up the courage to speak.
