Tw mention of bullying

--------------------

Another day surviving at school from all the bulling that went on and on with no stop and there was no point in trying again to stop it because you were scared that they'd hit you again or bully you even more and there was no point of telling the teacher because who would believe you and not the dean's daughter

Today has been a little too much on you so you decided to walk near the ocean instead of going straight for home

The sky was so clear and the sun was starting to set when you found a rock on the side so no one could see you and despite the great weather and the beautiful variety of colors that the sun made, you wished that the weather was matching with your feelings now instead of being beautiful and breathtaking it should be gloomy, foggy and rainy

You let out a heavy sigh trying ignore all the flashbacks that your mind made you see and seeing that you have used all your tears today and there weren't even new ones daring to escape you felt a little adventurous or in other words you wanted to feel the adrenaline instead of being sad all the time

Even you knew that it was a stupid idea especially because you can't swim but you found yourself taking off your school uniform leaving yourself in your underwear before taking a deep breath and jumping right into the ocean

The cold water made the air in your lungs dissapear for a moment you stayed in your place for a minute until you got used to the water and your breathing went back to normal

You kept swimming deep inside getting away from the rocks that held your clothing, you were surprised of how far you've come without knowing how to swim properly

And you jinxed it because after the ocean was calm you were suddenly hit with a big wave you tired so hard to avoid it by swimming back but you were slow and so the wave cought up to you and you felt like the ocean swallowed you

And you closed your eyes letting the ocean swallow you

You opened your eyes from a tug of hair behind your ear seeing a tall figure laying in front of you long hair with pointy ears, skin shining a lot and you thought that you were dreaming you started coughing the water that was in your lungs and soon as you stopped the tall figure dissapeared

You looked around and saw that you were at the same place where you left your clothes so you put them on and walked around where you were desperate to find who saved you but you went home with nothing

You couldn't sleep well that night you kept thinking about that tall man you assumed you didn't see him clearly you didn't even see his face but you really wanted to see him again and so you closed your eyes trying to sleep with a goal on your mind

You're going back there again to look for him

You went back the next day and the day after and the day after that but there was no use you couldn't find whoever saved you but you didn't lose hope and you kept coming back

You kept coming back to look for who saved you, you kept coming back to be alone in that beautiful place you became attached to this spot ever since that day and so you had many reasons to come back

One day you have been looking at the water beneath your feet you sighed turning your head to look towards the sky and the clear sky from before was now filled with dark clouds suddenly and the ocean was filled with high waves

Excited about the possibility of meeting who saved you again because this was how you two met the first time your heart starting beating so fast as if you just had ran in a marathon

The waves got higher and so you stood on the rocks you sat on a minute ago a splash of water hit next to your feet and made you jump as you lost your balance and as you were about to hit the ocean you felt strong arms hold your body

You took a look on whoever saved you not wanting to miss his face this time if he was the one from before and you were met with two beautiful chocolate eyes you scanned the rest of his face while moving your fingers through his face a strong jaw line, beautiful lips, long brown hair and it felt so soft and pointy blue ears

His eyes never left yours as you scanned his face and started to look down and behind him you could see a beautiful shiny tail

You looked back at his face immediately heart still beating very fast but you didn't know was it because you found who you were looking for or was it because he was a creature you only read about in books or listened about him in stories

But he was real this time and he was very beautiful

"T..thank you for saving me" you stuttered face completely red and that earned you a beautiful smile from the creature that held you between his arms
"Couldn't let what happened to you last time happen again"
"You.. you can talk" chuckling he nodded and put you on the rock that you always sit on and he was laying with his forearms on it looking at you with such loving eyes
"I..I have been watching you ever since you almost drowned I have been watching you cry, talk and stare at no where and I couldn't help but wonder what makes such a beautiful person cry this much"
"You think I am beautiful?"
"I umm yes it's weird if I said it first time meeting you right scratch that um hi my name is Asahi and I am your guardian from the ocean"
"my what?"
"well I saved you twice doesn't that technically make me your guardian" you laughed from his response and he joined you
"You have a sense of humor I like you"
"And I like you too y/n"
"How do you know my name?"
"I have been watching you for a while so I heard you talking to someone on the phone and they said your name" oh yeah you remembered your mom talking to you because you got too late the other day
"I..You must know that I wanted to see you right why didn't you show yourself before Asahi?"

Asahi got closer to you his hand pushed strands of your hair behind your ear causing you to blush and he kept his face very close to you
"Because I was scared that I would fall in love if I did and I was right"
