To the Waters and the Wild by violetmessages (GwenTosh, JackIanto | complete | 13,190 | T)

“Beautiful, isn’t it?”

Tosh whirled around. She’d thought she was alone, she’d expected it.

Then she locked eyes with the most beautiful woman she’d ever seen, a woman who seemed to radiate an ethereal glow, a woman that emanated an otherworldly light.

A calling from the deep sea

Paring: Azul & Idia

Au:Fairy tales (the little mermaid)

Part: One

3rd person POV:

Idia looks outside the glass less window taking in the beautiful sunset. Today marks two months of staying with his aunt and uncle for the summer. Ever since he turned 18 Idia wanted to become independent by trying to put himself out there. And now here he is sitting in his uncle’s fabulous Italian style mansion,shooting the breeze, and trying to get his life together. A quiet knock catches Idia’s attention.

“You can come in” Idia says softly, holding on to the balcony railing.

The door creek open to reveal Idia’s younger brother,Ortho. Idia smiles as his younger brother comes over and hugs him.

“Oni-san!” Ortho sequels in excitement and latches onto his brother in a big bear hug.

The last time they saw each other was during breakfast so this is normal behavior for the younger brother.

“Ortho! How was your day?” Idia asks playing with Ortho’s hair.

“I had sooo much fun today!” Ortho exclaims

“Uncle took me to the horse ranch.” Ortho continues smiling at his older brother.

“It sounds like you had a blast today! You should take me to the ranch and show me the horses.” Idia chuckles at the ball of energy he was holding.

Ortho yawns looking over at the window. the sun hid behind the buildings painting stunning shades of reds, yellows, purples, and pinks in the sky.

“It’s getting late don’t you think?” Idia questions looking down at his little brother. Ortho yawns, he nods

“Yeah it really is.” Ortho yawns out rubbing his eyes.

“Good night Idia” The younger one kissing Idia on the cheek. Ortho goes to leave the room but stops himself looking over to Idia.

“Oh! And Idia,please don’t stay up late. I care about you” Ortho warns with pleading eyes.

Idia sighs at his brother’s concerns.

“I won’t stay up late.” Idia say soothing Ortho’s worries.

“You promise?”

“I promise”

Ortho nods, closing his brothers door before going to his own room.

Idia flops in his bed,tired. He looks over at the setting sun, seeing it glimmer its light onto the big body of water below his balcony. Idia pulls the white covers over himself, he mumbles finally drifting off to sleep.

Idia POV:

I awake from my slumber to the sound of singing.

Beautiful singing.

I sit up in my bed,pushing the blue curls out of my face. The singing became louder, further beckoning me, by my own will I follow the voice. When I snap out of his trance I find my self on the sea shore. My attention then focuses on him.

His silhouette draped up onto a rock slightly poking out of the water. He continues singing, almost sending me into another trace like state before stoping to look at me. He pushes his silver locks out of his face,giving me a warm smile.

“You just can’t get enough of me can ya?” He coos chuckling a little. The words fall off his tongue like honey making me blush.

“Is there something wrong with seeing my jewel of the sea,Azul?” I say giving him a smirk,Azul blushes hiding his face.

“Oh hush.” Azul jokes splashing water on me. He continues to splash me as I get closer to his rock.

“Oh don’t be like that sweetheart. I know you were looking forward to seeing me~” I flirt holding him by the waist.

“I must admit that I did miss you terribly today.” Azul chuckles wrapping his arms around my neck. We stare into each others eyes for what felt like an eternity,putting our foreheads together.

“I wish we could stay like this forever you and I” Azul whispers kissing me on the cheek.

Azul pulls me closer swaying a little.

“Honey?”

“Hmm?”

“I’ve been curious,What have you been working on in that tavern of yours?” I tilt my head. Azul looks up at me, his lips curling a little.

“It’s a secret~” Azul teased

“Oh pretty please Azul.” I jokingly begged, Azul pushed up his glasses a little.”

“Alright,Alright. I can’t tell you everything but I’ll tell you this, It’ll help me become part of your world.” Azul whispers in my ear.

I squint a little,what does he mean by “part of my world?” I know his mom is a legendary sea witch and he holds all kinds of gadgets and gizmos aplenty and whozits and whatzits galore. But he never tried anything like that before. Azul sigh.

“I’m afraid that our little rondeau must come to a close. We don’t want you passing out on the seashore again now do we?” Azul chuckles at his own joke. He hugs me tightly but not tight enough to hurt me. I hug him back pecking him on the cheek before doing our final kiss goodbye. Before I would leave the seashore Azul calls out to me one more time.

“Idia!” I turn back to him

“You’re gonna come back to me right?” Azul asks worryingly.

“Of course I will my dear!” I semi-yelled, making the worry melt off his face.

“I love you!” I yell making a heart shape out of my hands.

“I love you too!” Azul yells back making the same hand gesture as me,I watch as he dives head first into the glimmering water.

I smile getting a wave of this warm and gooey feeling I get when I see him. Before I could walk back into my room I stoped falling onto the ground, getting a complementary tase of the sand. My body calms.

“ I guess I’m spending the night on the beach again.” I chuckle finally falling asleep.

It’s a dangerous idea. It’s got the potential to be catastrophic. But Gwen is all out of options. She’s surrounded by the graves of the people she loves, abandoned, save for her husband, and she refuses to let her best friend go without a fight.
