Heat-beat

*Aurora POV*

"Little girl, don't block the place here, if you are not playing give the rifle back, well you have won this toy at least take it." With that, he handed me a pink colour, small pig toy whose one eye is missing.

Looking down at with a blank expression on my face. Taking a deep breath just to throw towards merman who caught it before it could fall.

Looking at him as he was standing free, nothing in his hand. I can feel my left eye twisting the hand which I had given to hold cotton candy now only holds the pig I won.

What a brat even ate my cotton candy ugh here I thought to take a bite for energy to win. Let it be as I can't even tell him anything. My mood is already trying not to break some tables.

This game is taking in more than the teddy itself, rather I should have bought it ugh whatever I will win that big teddy now in this game.

Cracking my knuckles as I placed another 10 coins on the table as I tied my hair up into a messy bun, I can feel myself sweating from the time I had been standing here.

"I don't want you to lose more money little girl, one you worked hard for you sure well don't cry later as I have warned you already," he said as I nodded my head in response.

This time giving all my attention towards the target, putting my finger on the trigger, closing one eye. With a bang hitting the first target same goes with the second and the third target and the fourth too.

Putting the rifle down as taking a deep breath looking toward the man whose mouth is wide open now looking towards the target smirking in response going back to the position. Claiming all the read shot along with the bang.

The next thing I know receiving the big teddy right into my arms as the man wasn't letting it go. Giving him a fake tooth smile as I snatching away the big light brown teddy from him. The man glaring towards me soon smiles as the customer's approach.

Turning around looking towards merman, smiling in response as he smiles back at me, handing him the teddy into his arms. The small pig I won as he holds both of them in one arm.

Cracking my knuckles, I can already feel the stiffness of my fingers and shoulder as I walked away, with merman following me.

Raising my hand to look towards it to see my index finger has turned red. Placing the tip on my mouth, sucking on it lightly so it would at least help to lessen the redness.

Soon a hand wraps around my wrist pulling me towards it to see merman bringing it in front of a face blowing upon my fingers.

The heck is he doing? I didn't burn my finger oh wait it reminds me something as I have seen it somewhere.

~Flashback~

In the kitchen wearing Aunt May wearing apron cutting the vegetable. Me and merman washing vessels in the washbasin.

Victor who was cooking the dinner for us, sometimes time during the day off we all work together in the kitchen somewhere spending family time together.

Yea somewhere deep inside I accepted us all as a family. Just it's so good to be true at the same time deep inside I'm scared as if this life can turn upside down at any moment.

"Ahh" a small yell we hear just to see May has touched the hot vessel as she shakes her hand blowing upon it. With that, she put her hurt finger into her lips, lightly sucking on it.

"I told you not to touch anything just to cut the vegetables" Victor panics moving towards May as he pulls her towards himself, taking her hand which she has hurt into his.

With that Victor blows upon her finger, which has turned red. Then he brings her finger in front of his lips, taking the tip in as he looks into May's eyes turn wide while he lightly sucks it.

"Victor stop children's are here" May hissed as her cheeks turn red in response making Victor chuckle in response looking down at her.

"Giving then a lesson my darling for future, do this to your love Author she hurt her finger too as she is as clumsy as my wife," Victor laughed.

Smiling, I can feel my inner fangirl being awake seeing a live romantic moment in front of me, an indirect finger kiss OMG so romantic. Looking back towards merman smiling sadly.

I hope he finds his true love too rather than being in this unknown land with humans in a fake relationship, he isn't even aware of it. The things I'm doing for us just for a place to stay and food to eat. Even protecting his identity is the hardest thing ever to keep him away from a large amount of water. I hope you go back to the place you belong to merman.

Looking back at them as they walk away I can see the light sparkles around them nearby making me blind. Well, the love in the stories are so romantic the expectation and the reality are so different.

Feeling something wet upon my finger as I was brought back from the train of my thoughts. Just to see as the merman lightly sucking on my index finger I can feel my heart thumping on my chest. Heat rises on my cheeks making my eyes go wide looking towards him, the same thing he is doing.

In the middle of the street feeling as if there were just both all alone the voices as if they are blocked. Looking towards him as his eyes are closed, making the shadow of his eyelashes fall upon his cheeks as his face bright under the light.

With that merman opens his eyes looking towards me as he removes his finger from his mouth. Giving a light kiss upon it, as my eyes go wide at the things he is doing. The shit is being more advance than he has to be, the hell is wrong with this duckling.

"Be careful next time my love don't get hurt, it will hurt my heart?" he said in a deep voice taken back making me p

Pulling my hand back from him. Glaring towards him turning around as I walked away from him looking back just to see him giving me a smile still following me.

Breathing in which I didn't even notice I was holding it in, covering my mouth with the back of my hand, breathing heavily. What the hell just happens now, he doesn't even know what it means right. As he is learning everything that he sees and learns from them. This feeling is different this fishtail duckling will give me a heart attack one day.

Then the line will be read by the reader's Aurora found death because of the heart attack by merman sudden moves. No one will come to know as they will take as a natural death of him and the criminal will walk free.

Walking in the open field holding the hand of a merman, moving it forward and back. All around us either standing or sitting in the wide-open field. The last and the special event is going to happen now what all were waiting for.

Stopping far away from the fences where all were keeping their distance from it. Knights wearing armour stood in front of the red long string along with the black flag stand tall a red-blue skull pattern up on it along with a scythe of white colour behind the skull.

Sitting upon the grass looking up towards the merman who was still standing looking down at me. Signing in response pulling him down beside me, our hand still holding together.

I can't stand any longer ah my feet it feels like they are going to turn into stone any moment now. Today it was the best day that has happened, ignoring the fact of the morning issue.

Rubbing back of my neck looking in front of me as my thoughts once again wondered off looking towards the pattern of the flag.

The designer must have had such dark thoughts designing this flag back in days. No one would ever in a town which is filled with happiness and love have such a dark-looking kingdom managing it. Well, the king should be sweet and kind-hearted isn't it merman I know to brat you can read my thoughts.

Turning my head towards him glaring, as he looks back at me with a blank expression on his face. Grey eyes, soul which holds emotions before now it seems to have lost all along.

What happened to him right now raising my hand shaking it from left to right giving me a sign of what happened. But he just kept on staring at me without blinking his eyes. Biting my lips in response, staring deep into his eyes.

'What's wrong with you? Are you feeling tired, I thought as if speaking to him parting my lips as my lips whisper along with thoughts.

Merman shakes his head no looking down at our hands then he looks back up towards me leaning down. I can feel his breath over my lips as my eyes look down towards his lips moved.

"You.. you w-?" with a loud bust, the sound of the crackling behind it. Lighting up the whole surrounding around us into the red with that other follows behind it. Along with that in the sky as the fireworks burst lighting up the entire sky.

Even if I wasn't able to hear his voice, but just looking at his lips, I saw what he was trying to say.

Shaking my head no, 'no I won't' moving forward giving him a light kiss on his cheeks there as my lips touch his cold skin sending a shiver through me. Pulling away looking back towards his face I can feel the heat rising over my cheeks. Just to see the face of merman whose cheeks have now turned red along with his eyes wide open.

What the hell is taken over me, why did I even do that? I guess I have truly gone made this moment of the time.

Looking back towards the sky as the smile return towards my face looking towards the firework. Avoiding looking back towards him, my heart feels like as if it's just going to jump out of my chest.

"I won't leave you alone too" I hear a voice whisper in my ear as a cold lip touches my cheeks gently pulling away. Rising my hands as my palm covers my cheeks looking towards merman.

What the hell am I even teaching this kid? What is he even learning I have to stop this stuff before it gets something which will turn into nose bleeding adult clip? I hope that doesn't happen tho.

Getting on my feet glaring down at merman as bite my hard as if they are going to bleed. Turning my head away made my way back home, looking back just to see him following behind me. This brat what did I bring myself into ash should have left him back to the beach.

"You…you ... da you… Won't leave me right Daisy....."
