The Little Mermaid (Male! Ariel x Reader)

Meeting Him|Meeting Her

(POV:Reader)

I had chased Max almost all the way around to the other side of the castle behind some gigantic boulders. Almost out of breath I called after him, he didn't stop except occasionally to sniff the air and then continue running.

-"Max, wait up please!"

He had finally stopped all of us suddenly in front of me causing me to bump into someone. I opened my eyes and in front of me was a red-headed guy, with a confused look on his face.

-"Oh! I'm so sorry, are you alright?" I got up and reached to help him stand up. But me with my zero strength, caused me to fall on top of him when he pulled on my hand to stand up.

-"Oh, I'm really sorry" I apologized nervously while my cheeks dusted pink.

We both got up, and by ourselves because clearly I was no help. After getting a good look at him, he seemed rather familiar and handsome. As if I had seen him before, but where, I'm not sure.

-"I'm sorry, but you seem rather familiar, have we met?" he nodded but Max distracted me with his barking.

-"Y/n, my dear, stop running off like that...who's that?" Grimsby had caught up to me, and his question made me realize I didn't know his name.

-"Oh, umm...what's your name?" he didn't answer and pointed at his throat.

-"Oh, that's okay, I'll figure it out!"

-"Grimsby, let's take him to the castle, I'm sure Eric would like to meet him too"

-"Yes, milady" we took him to the castle and told Carlotta to get him clothes and a bubble bath ready.

(POV:Writer(Me))

As Ares took his bubble bath, Carlotta and the other castle staff gossip in the other room.

-"Washed up from a shipwreck"

-"Yeah, that's what I heard"

-"Oh, the poor thing"

As for Sebastian and Ares' old 'clothes', they had made their way to the laundry room to be washed. The ladies washing and scrubbing clothes gossiped as well to the princess's decision.

-"Well, you must have at least heard of this guy"

-"No!"

-"Gertrude says..."

-"When has Gertrude ever gotten anything right?"

-"I mean really, he shows up in rags and doesn't even speak"

-"Not my idea of a prince"

-"If Eric's looking for a boy for Y/n, I know a couple of highly available ones right here"

They had washed and scrubbed and tied Ares' clothes along with Sebastian, and by the time the poor crab had gotten out of their here ended up in the kitchen.

(A/N):
