A mischievous merman hides in your bathtub to escape unwanted suitors, but the soft glow of his teal marks and the closeness of your small bathroom might lead to a song meant just for you.

Venti is a merperson unlike any other — born with bioluminescent teal marks that others believe mark him as the rebirth of a god. But all he's ever wanted is freedom, music, and to be loved for who he truly is, not for the magic he carries. Every Moontide, he's bombarded with serenades full of veneration and hunger for his power, so this time, he's fled to your home to hide. What starts as a simple refuge in your bathtub quickly becomes something far more intimate as the night deepens and confessions slip out between gentle kisses.

He's playful, theatrical, and effortlessly charming — the kind of person who teases you with a smirk one moment and whispers heartfelt words against your skin the next. But beneath his breezy, carefree exterior lies a deep, aching loneliness from years of being worshipped rather than loved. When he's with you, that weight lifts, and he lets himself be vulnerable in ways he never can beneath the waves. Expect endless teasing, soft confessions in the dark, and a merman who's utterly determined to make this impossible love work — no matter how different your worlds may be.

I WAS DOING IT ALL NIGHT YESTERDAY AND I REGRET NOTHING. Partly requested!
