Ask for help

You take a big breath in to steady your nerves. These merpeople look angry enough with you that you don’t want to provoke them.

“I fell down here by accident”, you say slowly.

Your voice sounds strange and muted, projected through the water. You hope that the merpeople can understand you properly.

“I would appreciate your help in reaching the surface”, you add.

The merpeople exchange looks.

“We need to consult the High Council”, the first merman says. “Come with us.”

The merpeople remain armed and around you, not giving you much choice. Now that you can breathe you decide to allow them to take you with them. You descend down into the depths of the lake. Schools of fish swim through and around your group, but your escort isn’t distracted.

Eventually, you reach the merpeople town. The buildings are made out of stone and parks of coral and seaweed are scattered throughout the settlement. The merpeople lead you to the council building, a large structure made of white marble. After a few minutes, you’re led into the presence of the High Chieftain. She is an older mermaid with a severe expression on her face. She looks at you with a frown. She converses with the lead merman for a minute in the merpeople language, then turns back to stare at you.

“Our lady wants to know your intentions”, the merman says.

“I just want to get back to the surface”, you reply.

The merman translates your response, then waits for the High Chieftain’s ruling.

“We must wait for the High Council to decide”, the merman says. “Please follow me.”

The merman leads you out of the High Chieftain’s office, but you notice that she still stares at you untrustingly. You’re led into another, smaller, room, where you float in the middle. Most of your escort leaves, with only the merman remaining. It seems that the merpeople still expect you to do something.

“Thank you for saving me from the squid”, you finally say to the merman. “I’m Harry. What’s your name?”

The merman stares at you for a few moments before replying.

“I am called Trout”, he says. “You are very different from what I expected.”

“Haven’t you ever met a human before?” you ask.

Trout shakes his head.

“Then why can you speak English?” you continue.

“We all learn some Human when we are growing up, but I was particularly good at it”, Trout says proudly.

There’s a lull in the conversation. You begin to shiver as the coldness of the water begins to leech into you. Trout looks at you with concern.

“Are you sick?” he asks.

“No”, you reply with a shake of the head, “but we’re not made to stay below the water for so long.”

Trout pauses for a moment, then swims over to you. Before you can say anything, his muscular arms wrap around you. Trout’s body temperature isn’t as warm as that of a human, but it stops your shivering. You also enjoy the feeling of his body pressed against you.

Unfortunately, the close contact has a strong effect on your libido. Your cock begins to harden. You hope that Trout doesn’t notice, however, it seems that the merman has had an in depth lesson on human anatomy as well as language. Trout slides his hand down to cup your groin and gives your cock a squeeze. You can’t help but let out a quiet moan.

“It seems that there is something else wrong here”, Trout says.

The twinkle in his eye makes it clear that Trout knows exactly what he’s doing. Somehow, the merman manages to pull down your pants and underwear. Your cock, now fully hard, springs out. Trout stares at your member for a moment, then takes it into your mouth. You’re instantly reminded that merpeople don’t use their mouths to breathe, as Trout deepthroats your cock without any trouble. You moan again and lower your hand to comb through Trout’s hair.

Trout sucks you until you’re about to cum, then pulls away. It’s only then that you notice the difference in him. Whereas before, Trout’s human skin shifted seamlessly into fishy scales, now you see that a hard member is protruding with a slit you hadn’t even noticed. You reach down and grasp his cock, smiling to yourself with Trout gasps.

You lead in and kiss Trout. You remember the feeling when Trout kissed you before, to save your life. This is different. Now, you can taste Trout in your mouth and feel his tongue press inside of you. As you kiss, Trout moves closer to you so that your bodies rub against each other. He reaches down again and grips both your cocks, stroking them together.

Trout’s other hand slides along your back until his fingers press against your asshole. You arch your back as Trout’s fingers press inside you, filling you up. You let out a loud moan.

“Is this alright?” Trout asks.

He’s clearly worried that he’s hurting you, which is quite sweet.

“Keep going”, you reply.

Trout adds a third finger. You only have the willpower to hold onto him as he opens you up. You kiss Trout again and wrap your arms around his shoulders to steady yourself.

When Trout removes his fingers a few minutes later, you feel empty. It’s not for long, however. Trout flicks his tail forward, sliding under you. You feel his cock press against your entrance. Trout looks into your eyes, the question in them obvious.

“Please”, you moan. “I want you inside me!”

Slowly, Trout thrusts his cock into you. Again, you hold onto Trout so that you don’t float away. This time, he holds on to you too. You see the desire in Trout’s eyes as he fucks you, an emotion that is mirrored in your own face. Your lips meet again.

You don’t know how long you have sex. At one point, Trout’s hand slips down and wraps around your cock, sliding up and down. Your moans grow in frequency until you cum, your seed floating in the water. Trout lasts a few more seconds before he releases his seed into you.

You remain locked together for a few moments until you hear a door open nearby. In a flash, Trout pulls away from you and you manage to pull your pants and underwear up. By the time the door to your room opens to show the High Chieftain, you’re both composed again. She looks around the room, clearly suspicious.

“We have reached a decision”, Trout translates for the High Chieftain. “We will allow you to return to the Human world, as we have good relations with the world above. Trout – uh, I – will escort you back to the air world.”

With that, the High Chieftain swims away, but not before she gives you a look of disdain. Trout grabs your hand and pulls you towards the exit to the building. You remain silent until you’re well away from the merpeople town and then you begin to talk about your respective people. By the time you reach the surface, you feel like you’ve gotten to know merpeople – and Trout in particular – a lot better.

“The stone building of your world is just up there”, Trout says, gesturing upwards.

You look and you can see the lights of the castle distorted through the water. You look back at Trout and see that he looks embarrassed. You take his hands and look into his eyes.

“Thank you very much”, you say seriously. “I don’t think I would’ve survived without you.”

Trout blushes. Then he picks up a shell from the ground and hands it to you.

“Please take this to remember me by”, he says.

The shell is a large curved snail shell, but it glitters with every colour of the rainbow. You smile at Trout, then lean forward to kiss him.

“I won’t ever forget you”, you promise.

You end up sitting on the shore of the Great Lake a few minutes later, staring melancholily at the waters as Trout swims away. You begin to shiver in the cool air and stare down at your soaked clothes. You need to dry off before you can resume your quest.
