The Webtoon 'A Matter of Life and Death' finally updated. And it was a mermaid au, so I wanted to do one.

     "Please, your Majesty! Your too drunk, stop drinking!" Patton took the bottle away.
     "Oh please," Roman said. "I'm not that drunk!"
     "Please watch out for the railing, Your Majesty. I fear your going to tip over the side."
     Roman waved his hand dismissively. "Oh please *hic* I'm fi-" He backed up and, as Patton said, went over the edge.
     He passed out from the force of hitting tge water. All he remenbered was seeing Patton's face leaning over the edge before it all went black.

     "Please wake up! I don't want to deal with yet another dead one! I always get rumours that I'm the one that kills them. They don't understand the fact that people can die from the force of the water. For bloody's sake! Humans are different from us!" Roman heard a British accent as his eyes slowly started to open. "You awake?" He heard.
     He sat up and held his throbbing head. "Where am I?"
     "Hell, I know. I just dragged you to the nearest beach front. You might have a lot of sand on your back." He opened his eyes all the way and saw the British man next to him.
     "Ah, thanks. Uh, by the way, where is your boat?" Roman asked, looking around and realising there was no transport around. "How did you get me on shore? Don't tell me you dragged me here!"
     "Chill out, jesus christ. Look at my lower body dumbass. Though your lighter in water, dragging you on shore was difficult. I thought you had weight on you. Just your muscles." He looked at Roman staring down at his tail in awe.
     "So you're like.. a mermaid!" He said excitedly.
     "Merman to be exact." The half fish man moved his tail in the sand. "What's your name?"
     "Ah, King Roman. And yours?"
     "Virgil. Now, I am no king, so don't think highly of me." He began moving towards the water. "I'll get going then. Bye!" And with that he swam off.
 
     "Your majesty!" Patton called. "Where on earth have you been?! You had us worried sick!" He threw a rope over the side of the ship. "You're not injured are you?"
     Roman stood up and wiped himself down. "No, I am fine." He looked towards the sea and sighed. "C'mon."

     Virgil sat at the bottom of the ocean and thought.
     A human that actually took interest of me? If they don't die, they usually freak out and run off, usually found dead later on.
     He flinched at a merman, Logan, swimming up to him. "Virgil, will you go and deal with that damn human calling your name?" He grunted.
     "Huh?" Virgil began swimming towards the surface of the water. He looked around and saw the man he had saved the other day, sitting on a rock and calling his name. He groaned and swam back down.
     "Virgi-" Logan began.
     "He'll lose his voice soon." He interrupted.
    
     "VIRGIL!" He heard the man call the nxt day.
     "You're kidding me.." he looked up and saw the rock he was perched on, yelling into the sea for the merman. "He doesn't give up, does he?"
     "VIRGIL-"
     "What?!" He popped up at the surface in front of him.
     Roman smiled and leaned down. "Virgil! It's you!"
     "What do you want?"
     "I wanted to see you again!" He exclaimed, getting closer.
     "You're too clos-" Just then, as Virgil was about to push him back, he fell in.
     Roman swam to the top, going towards the rock. "Sorry."
     Virgil rose to the surface after being a floatie for him to land on. "I'm leaving."
     "N-No! Wait!" He called.
     "What do you want?" He turned around and glared at the king.
     "Uhm.. thank you for saving me two days ago.." he smiled.
     "Okay, bye now." He swam under the water and left.
     "Finally." Logan said.

     "Your Majesty! Where in world do you keep getting alcohol?!" Patton snatched it away. "You are going to fall overboard again!"
     Roman smiled. "Good, then I can *hic* meet the merman again." He stood.
     "Merman? Your Majesty  you're drunk! Stop saying such absurd things and lie down!" Patton grabbed his arm.
     Roman pulled it away and dived over the edge.
     "YOUR MAJESTY!" Patton sighed. "You're kidding me.."
