Pun title
More mermaid au. This is after the shit that happens involving the Squip. They're okay now, and Jeremy gave his necklace that helps him stabilize his powers to Micha since Jerm has good control of his powers
TW: swearing and that's it bc this is a fluff chapter

"Michael put the necklace on p-please." Jeremy mumbled, already in the water,  leaning on a rock and waiting for Michael to get in.

"I want my magical air bubble kiss Jeremy. Besides, I don't even know how to swim as a merman. I only got around because of Christine and Jake helping me."

"That is why we're doing this. While we're still here I wanna help you learn to use the powers. Now put the necklace on, and get in the water." Jeremy was getting impatient and Michael sighed.

"Okay Jerm but if I die it's not my fault...like the first time."

"Oh be quiet I saved you." Michael began getting in the water, swimming over to Jeremy and holding his hand.

"Okay, what do I do now?" Michael asked, fidgeting with the necklace in which he was wearing.

"Well you just....well you just think about becoming a mermaid again. Since everybody knows we're here now it won't matter."

"Is that all?" Michael asked in shock and Jeremy nodded.

"Here, I'll hold your hands and transform with you...but we better move to open waters because the tails are always longer than your human legs." Jeremy explained, holding Michael's hand and swimming away from the rock.

He turned around to face Michael, both hands touching.

"You ready?" Jeremy asked and Michael nodded, still extremely unsure how to do this. "Okay just close your eyes, and visualize your tail and find in your mind. You'll feel the places they show up be wet so you know it's working." Jeremy told him and Michael did as told, not saying anything in case that screwed it up.

He felt his legs vanishing, turning into one solid object, which was strange to say. His ears also changed, no longer being regular human shaped, but they were like fins.

There was a larger find pertruding from his back, and smaller ones near his wrists.

He finally opened his eyes and stared at himself in shock.

"This is so fuckin weird." He laughed a bit and Jeremy grabbed his hand and pulled them under.

"You don't have to hold your breath love, remember, it gave you gills." Michael felt his neck and cringed at the touch, but he opened his mouth and was surprised at how similar it was to breathing in air. "Now let's get going, you gotta learn all sorts of things if you wanna do this when we come back."

"Okay...explain why my tail is rainbow first of all." Michael muttered and Jeremy giggled.

"Your gayness is in your tail. Now let's go already, Christine is probably waiting for me." Jeremy began swimming away and Michael followed slowly, trying to figure out how to control his tail properly.

The two made it to Jeremy's conch house and Michael was glad to see something familiar in these waters.

"Jeremy!! There you are." Christine swam up to them, electricty slightly shooting from her jellyfish like tail. "Eric's brothers are properly moved in." She exclaimed and Michael felt queasy at the name. "Ooh Michael I love your tail, Jeremy did you help him this time?"

"Yeah. He wanted me to air bubble him so he didn't have to transform but...nah. I wanted to see his tail when I wasn't in mortal danger." Jeremy chuckled a bit and Michael still was uneasy about thinking about it. "Micha, love, what's wrong?" Michael forgot Jeremy could practically read his mood.

"Just...thinking about Eric...and you practically dying... makes me...kinda wanna puke. Can we not mention him here please..." Michael whispered and Jeremy put a hand on his back, gently petting the back fin, which caused Michael to loosen up a bit.

"Okay, if it makes you sick we won't mention it around you. But we're still gonna go say hi to his brothers. Alright?" Jeremy cooed softly and Michael nodded.

The two followed Christine to where Shane and Winston were staying, glad to see they were doing alright.

"Look at the light Winst, it's so pretty!!" Shane was showing off the light from his head, which he only had because his merman traits reflected that of an angler fish.

"I see it. Oh hey look it's Jeremy. Surprised he'd come down here after all we.....did." Winston stopped dead in his sentence as he seen Michael trailing behind Jeremy.

He had slight memory of Michael's first transformation, but this was much more beautiful than that.

"Winston you're blushing." Shane told him and Winston swam inside, putting a hand over his heart and realizing how fast it was bleeding.

"Why do I have to be like this?" He asked, not paying attention to the fact Shane was now talking with Christine, Jeremy and Michael just outside. "Stupid crush...why did I have to develop one...?"

"Isn't your brother still here?" Christine asked from outside and Shane nodded, pointing inside. "Great. Winston you in he- Winston are you alright?" Christine asked and Winston shook his head. "Why are you blushing.... Gasp, do you like somebody?"

Back outside, Michael was sitting on the porch like structure of the brothers' house, Jeremy sitting next to him, gently wrapping his tail around the bright rainbow spectacle that was Michael's, smiling.

"How you liking it so far Mikey?" Jeremy asked, moving his hand around Michael's shoulder and leaning into him.

"It's fun I guess. I'm just not used to it yet. I kinda miss you kissing me to make air bubbles every time I come under here." Michael shrugged and Jeremy brought him closer.

"I can still kiss you Michael." Michael turned quickly and his lips met with Jeremy's, and they both just sat there in the moment, not saying a word to each other.

"Aww, you guys are cute." Shane squealed, and from inside, Christine and Winston were watching, Winston fighting back tears, very poorly albeit.

"I know...you like him but...at least he's happy...right?" Christine asked calmly and Winston smiled slightly, nodding.

"Yeah...and at least my brother can't hurt them anymore..."

Back outside, Jeremy and Michael released, staying close to each other as Michael moved one of his webbed hands to Jeremy's slightly scaly cheek, smiling the entire time.

"I love you Remy...I love you, fish tail and all."

"Dolphin Michael. And...I love you too." They touched foreheads softly, letting their hair entangle together. "Damn you're pretty."

"Not as pretty as you."

"Bullshit Michael you're fuckin gorgeous."

"Dammit take my compliment you...you...You Sushi butt!" Michael laughed and Jeremy fake turned around in anger, crossing his arms and trying to hold a stern face. "Oh c'mon there's nothing wrong with having a fish butt Jeremy."

"You know you have a Sushi butt too Micha."

"I know. We're sushi booty twins." Jeremy giggled at this before turning around and laying his head in what would be Michael's lap, if he had legs, and looked up at him.

He moved a hand to Michael's face and gently caressed it.

"You really are beautiful Michael...Very beautiful..."

"You are too Remy. And don't you tell me you're not because you are."
