Rivaled Love - Mermista x Reader (Mature)

WARNING: Includes Mature themes, Not meant for younger readers

You and Seahawk have been in a competition for Mermista's love for years, she obviously knew about it. One night, a couple weeks after the fall of Selineas, you couldn't sleep so you went walking around the bright moon castle heading toward the balcony overlooking the gardens. You had thought there was an unsaid agreement that the competition was temporarily put off and you put your efforts toward comforting Mermista instead.

You quietly make your way down the hall and as you walk by Mermista's room, you hear her whimpering and moaning, "agghhhh Seahawk!" You instantly freeze and fall to your knees, silent tears trickling down your face. Your head bows and your heart shatters as you sink lower unable to bring yourself to your feet. You want to move, you don't want to chance one of them walking out or one of the other princesses walking by and thinking you were listening in or questioning you about it. You allow your thoughts to consume you as the tears continue to fall. You are finally brought somewhat back to the present moment when you notice someone standing in front of you. You look up with defeat and see Angella standing there. She offers her hand and you take it. She walks you out to the balcony, helps you rather since your legs had stiffened. She sits down with you on the balcony patio and hugs you. "Would you like to talk about it?", she asks as she pulls back and offers an empathetic look. "I- Mermista- She-" you fail to form a sentence as your eyes well up again. Angella pulls you in for another hug, "I know sweetheart, it's ok. Don't look into it too deeply, it may not be like that." "But she-" Angella cuts you off, "She loves you." You look at Angella with an expression of confused interest as she continues, "Have you ever seen the way she looks at you? Or how she lights whenever she is around you? She isn't like that for him." All you can manage is a simple, "I guess... I don't know, maybe she chose him. As long as she is happy." Saying the last sentence out loud broke your heart. Angella looked out towards the garden, then back at you, "Why don't you get some rest, maybe you will feel better in the morning. Things will work themselves out soon enough." You walked with her back to your room as you bid each other good night. You had a hard time falling asleep as there were still a few tears rolling down your cheeks but eventually everything went dark. You slept a bit late the next morning and woke up to a slight knock. You tried to ignore it until the door opened and you heard Spinnerella's calm voice, "sweetheart it's time to wake up". All you could think about was the previous night and you rolled your face into your pillow. Spinnerella sat beside you and gently rubbed your back, "are you feeling ok y/n?". You tried to manage an "I'm fine" but it came out muffled through the pillow. By this time Netossa was also walking into your room and making her way to the bed. "Is this about what happened between Mermista and Seahawk last night?" she said as she sat at the end of the bed. You quickly turned your head toward her with a shocked look as Spinnerella shot a glare at her wife. Netossa raised her arms in defense, "well it's not like they were being quiet, all of us in the neighboring rooms heard them". Spinnerella rolled her eyes and brought her attention back to you, "Angella pulled the two of us aside this morning and told us about last night. Do you just want to hang around with us for today?" You give a light nod in response. "Well then, let's get you out of bed" Spinny says as she helps you up. Once out of bed she gives you a hug in which you nuzzle into her, still not in much of a talking mood. Once you are finally up and ready you walk out of your room and down the hall with Spinny and Netossa at either side, Spinny with one arm around your waist. As you Walk approach Mermista's room, her and Seahawk walk out both with dripping wet hair and towels over their backs. You and her make eye contact but you quickly break it, bringing your gaze to the ground as Spinny pulls you slightly closer for reassurance. You feel Mermista's gaze hold on you as you continue, but you don't look back. You make your way to the war room and sit beside Spinnerella. The other princesses and alliance members fill in and she squeezes your hand under the table as Mermista sits on your other side. Mermista looks at you and in a hushed voice asks, "y/n is everything ok? You're acting kinda weird or whatever." You respond with a quick smile and nod as the meeting begins. You avoid looking in her direction the whole time which seems even odder to her as the two of you are usually messing around under the table through meetings. Once everyone is dismissed you push your chair in and turn to join Spinnerella again, but Mermista quickly grabs your arm with a worried expression on her face, "Y/n please talk to me. I know something is bothering you" . You look at Spinny then back at Mermista, "really it's fine, it's nothing". Mermista looks at you and tilts her head to the side, "sure because 'nothing' so obviously bothers you and puts you off. Please tell me what happened". Before you had the chance to say anything Netossa defensively butted in, "what happened was last night. You weren't very quiet, does 'agghhh Seahawk!' ring a bell? We all thought you finally made your choice and picked Seahawk over y/n"! Mermista's face flushed before her face dropped, "y/n... I am so sorry, I promise it wasn't like that." You looked at the ground unable to say anything, most of the princesses and alliance members (including Seahawk) were on the other side of the room watching. Mermista came closer, now facing you, "can you look at me? Just for a moment?" You tilt your head slightly and bring your gaze up to her. She grabs your chin to guide your face to look at hers as her thumb brushes against your bottom lip. "Y/n what happened last night was just a one time thing that happened by accident. If I had to pick between you and Seahawk I would always pick you. I love you." You looked up at her, slightly teary-eyed, "I love you too". She leaned down to kiss you. You wrapped your arms around her neck and deepened the kiss as she pulled you in closer. Spinnerella and Netossa gushed behind you as Perfuma, Bow, and Glimmer gushed on the other side of the room. You remained in Mermista's arms as you looked around the room, your face turning crimson as you realized how many people were still there. Seahawk's look of defeat was one of the best sights to be seen aside of course from Mermista. The competition was over as Mermista had finally picked you and Seahawk had no choice but to accept it.
