I Just Want A Cute Romance RP That Won't Die In A Week IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR??

Rio pulled her in, staying true to his promise of not arguing. His fins wrapping around her legs to pull her closer.

She relaxed once he came closer, his presence helping her remember that not everyone was like Cole, she could trust Rio.

Rio pulled away, smiling at her, holding her so his arms were around her waist.

She returned a shy smile, her arms loosely around his neck. "I told you I would."

"I'm glad you did" he said, His tail unwinding, twitching slightly to keep them from drifting.

"So I guess you really are my siren." She chuckled softly.

Rio rolled his eyes, "I guess I am" He said,

"Don't roll your eyes at me, you know you love it." She giggled, pressing a quick kiss to his lips.

Rio grinned, hugging her, "So, shall we do this all day or shall we go find some pearls?"

"I don't know I'm pretty comfortable where I am right now." She shrugged.

Rio smiled, Leaning in so their faces were inches away. "I suppose we should continue then?"

"That'd be the smart thing to do, wouldn't it?" She could feel his breath against her face, her heart fluttering in her ears.

Rio grinned, kissing her once more, gentle, and passionate.

Making out with a mermaid, this is completely normal. As much as she loved the feeling of pure calm this placed over her, her legs were starting to cramp from treading water for so long.

Rio smirked, pulling away, "You don't have to tread, I can keep us from drifting too far."

"Oh thank God, my legs are cramping like nobody's business." She let her legs relax, chuckling softly.

Rio laughed, "I know the feeling," he said, holding her close, his tail flicking every once in awhile.

"Anyone who has been watching us probably thinks we drowned."

"Nobody comes anywhere near this lagoon" said Rio, "And I don't particularly care what they think either."

"And this is where you learn that I care too much about what people think of me. Just a habit."

"I do the same thing" said Rio, "But honestly most people end up seeing my fins before I stay under this long. So then I have every right to believe they're idiots if they thought I had drowned."

"Yeah but people don't think I'm a mermaid." She chuckled.

"And who said I was one?" asked Rio, "I get the reference, but one, I'm not a maid. Two others like me prefer the term Aquantae"

"Yeah but I prefer mermaid. Sorry, sorry, merman. It's less technical. Or do you like siren better?" She teased.

"Either one is fine" laughed Rio, tail flicking again.

"I think I'll go with siren. It suits you best."

Rio grinned, "So what do I call you?"

"Whatever you please. I'm not all that special." She laughed.

"But you are special!" protested Rio. "I'll find something eventually."

"I bid you good luck because you will certainly need it."
