You stand at the kitchen counter, preparing the last of your dinner. Arms come around your waist and you jump slightly. "Hey." Newt, your husband, breathes, against your neck. You relax and lean back against him. You smile. "Hey." You respond. You turn your head to look at him. "Did you have a good day?" He nods and places a kiss on your lips. "I did. And you? Did you have any...water spillages today?" You turn in his arms. "Not one." You say proudly. He kisses your forehead. "That's my girl." He murmurs. You're a mermaid. Newt and you fell in love when he was observing mythical creatures in the ocean. You have the power to turn into human, so when Newt asked you to marry him, you accepted without a second thought. It's hard getting used to the human life, to human legs. You miss your tail. But being with Newt is worth it. You both work hard to make sure you fit into the world on land; but it's not always easy. After you get in contact with water, you have ten seconds before you turn into your mermaid form. More than once it's been close—too close. "Dinner's ready." You state. Newt, his arm still around your waist, walks to the dinner table. You both sit down. "Y/N, this looks amazing." He gushes. You grin proudly. "Oh, thanks." Newt accidentally knocks his water glass over. It spills onto your hand and your clothes. "Oh no! Y/N, I'm sorry!" He exclaims as you jump your feet. You lunge for a towel and quickly wipe your hand. You quickly start rubbing the towel on your shirt but it's too late. You groan and fall to the ground, in a tail. Newt winces and kneels beside you. "Y/N, I'm so sorry." He grimaces. You smile. "It's okay, don't worry about it. Accidents happen." "I'll go get some towels." He says, standing up. He comes back a few minutes later. Together you both start drying off your tail. A few seconds after you're completely dry, your legs come back. Newt helps you to your feet. "Y/N, I'm so sorry!" He repeats. "Newt." You laugh. "Don't worry about it. It's fine." Newt and you sit back down. You start to eat dinner when you feel a coolness underneath your arm. You look down in confusion and then face palm. "Uh, we never cleaned up the puddle." "Oh no." Newt groans. Your tail is back. He holds on to you so you don't fall off the chair. You start laughing. "Y-you know what? I think I'll just stay in this form until after we're done eating." Newt grins. "Good idea." He replies. He quickly cleans up the mess. "Sorry for being such a pain, Newt. It's like you're dealing with a two year old." He sits down and stares at you, smiling. "Y/N, I'd rather deal with you than a two year old any day. I love you—tail and all." You smile back. "I love you too." [THE END] I hope you liked it!
