Summary: Riku was the first to see the mermaid. Just a flash of scales, out between the waves, there and gone in less than a breath. Easy to miss if you didn’t know what you were looking for, and most people didn’t.
So Riku was the only one to see the mermaid, and he was terrified.
Written for the SoRiKai discord's Summer Event! I selected the prompt "Mermaid" from the list, but this also fits the prompts "Storm", "Drowning", and to a lesser extent "Scars", and "Separation." (I aim for one of the fluff prompts, and wind up with one fluff and four angst prompts...)
