Yandere merman top x poker-faced bottom
Top's POV
Every merman bears a mark, and their partner has the same mark.
For some reason, the bottom doesn't dare tell the top who he really is.
The top waits in vain for the bottom for hundreds of years.
Blurb below:
Every merman is destined to have a partner from the moment he is born.
They call each other their other half. As they grow up, or even before they come of age, every merman will consciously or unconsciously draw closer to his other half. They may meet or miss each other, but in the end they will always be together. Once they become partners, their bond is declared to heaven and earth above and all living beings below. The pact is made, and neither may betray the other.
Yet Quan Ken, king of the merman race, never came together with his other half, from birth until death.
In the end, it was only when the taciturn guard who had always been by his side died before his eyes that he learned his other half had been with him all along.
After that, he could never understand how his other half could do such a thing.
How could he leave him alone, tossing and turning in the dark, unable to sleep? How could he watch as he crossed mountains and rivers just to find him? How could he simply vanish before his eyes, lifeless, leaving him alone to think of him day and night, over and over, grinding his name, face, and voice to pieces and swallowing them down?
Yet when he opened his eyes, there was nothing.
Night after endless night, it nearly drove him mad.
Then Quan Ken was reborn.
