it’s a wonder jade leech picked you, he could’ve — in your eyes, at least — had anybody he may have wanted. no girl or guy would refuse him, a seemingly perfect gentleman who would put you before himself, taking care of your every need. his act similar to that of a househusband. at least that’s how it was when you two had first started dating after graduating.
when he’d taken you to the sea, things became different. his true self coming out, not as the patient gentleman you knew, but as a cruel man. it’d given you shock at first, but then your thoughts were to get away, to run as far as you could from this man who you didn’t recognize as your lover.
everything came too quickly for your liking, when your efforts to escape were proven to be futile, you’d eventually accepted your fate with the leech brother, watching as your beautiful life faded too far for your reach, letting it sink in that you were stuck. underwater and helpless, not knowing what to do but try and make him happy to not get hurt.
it’d always been him and you, you can realize as you look back on memories, maybe floyd or azul here and there. but him stick by your side with his almost dangerous but seemingly friendly smile that was stuck on his face no matter what was to happen — especially when he was spending his time with you.
it makes you understand better now, that he wants you to forget all good memories you could have with the others you know, to leave your friends behind as you fall into his arms, unable to escape his grasp once you’ve found yourself in it. it was harmless at first, a new love found between the two of you, only to be twisted once you’ve been caught belly-up.
and once you’d met his parents, your fate had been locked in, their words of how happy and excited they were, how they couldn’t believed he’d gotten such a catch. and of course, to make matters even worse for you, they wanted grandchildren as soon as possible. you’ve already graduated, haven’t you? so what better to do that give them cute, precious eel babies? you’d just make the perfect housewife, especially for such a hard working man like their son.
he’d tied the knot immediately after that, his parents words only egging him on further. it’d made him see things in a different light, just how it made you as well. he hadn’t thought about a cute housewife nor children just yet, his mind still a bit rocked from your excitement about him asking you to be his — which may have been a few months ago, but it was very unexpected to say the least — and he couldn’t help but want to impress his parents with not only children and a lovely housewife, but also showing off a beautiful ring.
you weren’t a mermaid, yet, but you’d become one soon, because well, it’s rather difficult to be a human and live under the sea with a bad man, yes? he’d have azul take care of that, while floyd could talk to you about how excited he is to have little nieces and nephews, that he just can’t wait to see if they look like you or jade! (he would prefer them to look like jade because then they’d look like him too!) maybe you’d have twins too! or even triplets!
everything moves a bit quickly under the sea, and even quicker in the leech household.
