"I accept". That's what Alec said to the sea god. He knew the decision he took was to say goodbye to his life in the sea. Goodbye to the freedom he once had if he doesn't get a love first kiss cause he will be forever tied to the sea god in an agreement.

"We can still turn our backs on this". Basil said still creeped out with fear.

"Yeah you can still turn your back on this I wouldn't say I didn't warn you because once you sign this book". A book magically appeared that had a series of names in it. It must be the merman he had an agreement with, Alec thought to himself.

"There's no going back". He gave a cunning smile. Alec knew he wanted him to sign the book and add a prince to his collection of names and be forever indebted to him.

"I know please we should get it over and done with". Alec said ever so determinedly. He could feel it in his bones that the human is waiting for him on land. He would be wondering how he is alive and how he came to be on the shores. He could tell him he's the one that saved him and he will forever be indebted to the merman and fall in love with him thereby getting his first kiss from him.

"I see you have it all planned out.... you're going on land just because of one boy land mortal". The sea god said.

"Wait how did you know that". Alec asked perplexed how he was able to know what he was thinking, Alec thought to himself.

"I have the gift of reading minds and to tell you the truth the human you're in love with". He paused, he was about to say too much.

"Now sign the book if you want the legs". The book swam to Alec's side, he picked up the pen and wrote down his name, every letter of his name was from his blood, and the sensation was painful as the covenant was forming. 

"There you go". He had finished signing his name to the book sealing a deal with the sea god.

"What about you Basil, wouldn't you want to sign your name". The sea god asked, more cunning than ever.

"I will pass". Basil said.

"Wouldn't you want to follow your best friend to land and take care of him"? 

"I will want to but I can't sign out my freedom to you".

"What if I told you that your prince's sacrifice is more than enough to cover your legs too". The sea god smiled.

"Really". Basil said somewhat excited.

"Not as if you're handsome or anything, I don't see anything special about you but our prince here has it all". 

"Now get out of my tunnel". He laughed sinisterly.

"Your legs will appear when you are on land and remember you just have 6months to get true love first kiss or your soul will forever be mine". He continued laughing.

Basil and Alec swam to the shallow waters gradually reaching the sands. When they got to the sands, Alec could see the same old people that had taken the human inside when he had saved him from the storm.

Basil and Alec dragged their tail through the sands, their tail should have already been replaced with human legs but they annoyingly stayed there in the sand and nothing happened, no transformation was coming forth.

"I think the sea god had played a swift one on us". Alec said to Basil.

"I think we should be patient a little, lucky for us it's night and no human will be out here by this time of the night". Basil said.

"It's still early hours of the night, a human could decide to come for a swim...". Right in his words Alec felt a sensation creeping around his legs, his scales were slowly disappearing and whatever knitted his tail was getting loose, and pale human legs were appearing.

"You have transformed". Basil squealed.

"Your own should be any moment now". Alec wasn't done with his sentence before another two human legs appeared in replacement of Basil's legs.

"We now have legs". Alec squealed with joy still sitting on the sand. He doesn't know how to use the new features he had just been given, all he was used to was his torques color tail that cuts through many tides in just one sec. 

"How are we to use human legs". Alec asked Basil, he couldn't find a way to stand up.

"I have been on this land before and I have watched how humans walk. It shouldn't be too hard". Basil said as he held onto Alec and pushed himself up that he was standing.

"Hold my hands and take your weight to your feet". Basil instructed.

Alec did as instructed but he tripped in just two seconds on his feet. His legs felt so weak and wobbly, that he couldn't use them the way he used his tail.

"This is so annoying," Alec said standing up once again with the help of Basil, Basil seems to already have gotten the hang of it, how to use his human legs and Alec was being the weak one who can't figure out how to use he's yet.

"Mind you Alec we're naked and we need human clothes. Any human to see us in this position will think that we have lost it. I mean insane". Basil covered his man bits from the prying eyes of any human who might happen to walk by, by mistake.

"Where are we to get clothes then, I think I can hear footsteps".

"Someone's coming, let's hide behind that rock". Basil dragged Alec to the rock not caring if he knows how to use his legs or not. 

"Human legs are so annoying". Alec thought.

 Daniel was interested to know the details of how Jasper kissed a guy. He knew the boy was homophobic so him kissing a guy is something very interesting to listen to and how it happened.

"It's not such a big deal".

"No, I mean". Jasper stuttered a bit nervously scratching his head.

"Well, it was this one time as usual I was bullying Simon". Jasper cleared his throat as if the words somehow choked his throat.

"I pinned him to the bathroom door, I had gone in there to do my inconvenience then Simon mistakenly entered".

"Well let's say it's my fault for not locking the bathroom lock while I was at it".

"I felt embarrassed so I wanted to equally embarrass Simon, I locked him to the bathroom door and locked our lips in a kiss".

"That's it". Jasper explained waiting for the reaction from Daniel and Justin.

"Because you felt embarrassed that's why you kissed a boy". Daniel creased his eyebrows in a frown.

"That's such a foul thing to do and so childish". Daniel was becoming a little stern.

"Daniel calm down". Justin said.

"Remember you asked for the details and it's the details he gave to you, I don't see the reason why you are worked up". Justin smirked.

"Please let's continue the game, so Jasper what should I do to you or what will you do to me". Justin asked Jasper who still couldn't place why Daniel was worked up, a while ago he was so ecstatic to know the details and when Jasper got it out, all of a sudden he is worked up.

"Just request anything of me". Jasper said as if he no longer cared and was neither interested in the game.

"I still feel your number one statement is a lie...I want you to kiss Simon again, this time in front of Daniel and me". Justin smirked.

"Ok". Jasper answered.

"You didn't even object. I'm beginning to think you're a faggot". Daniel said with creased eyebrows with glares boring holes on Jasper's face.

"This is just a game Daniel you don't have to take it all personal, it's just for fun". Justin snapped.

"What's it with you... you're been rude and harsh on Jasper and what if he's gay...he is our friend and we should protect him from others you of all people know that". Justin added, his voice laced with anger.

"Whatever". Daniel directed his gaze far from both boys to not get more agitated with them than he was.

"My turn". Justin sighed.

"1. I don't like Jennifer as I once used to

2. I want to kiss my best friend

3. I'm bisexual". Justin smiled. 

"You just came out to us Justin". Jasper said shocked, he returned to his normal self when he started playing the game, excited.

"When did you know you were bisexual". Jasper added, that he switched positions to come to sit close to Justin.

"I will tell you all that when you fish out my lie, number 3 could be the lie". Justin smiled.

Daniel sat by himself thinking about the three statements Justin made. Daniel knew Justin still liked Jennifer, no way he didn't because Jennifer was his girlfriend. In the second statement of him kissing his best friend, Daniel thought, Jasper and I were his only best friend and there's no way he had the balls to kiss anyone of us, it's like ruining our friendship if he tried it and then again It's unlike Justin to say something new, something his friends haven't heard of and of all time it was when we were playing a game, that should be the lie, number 2 and 3 are lies, Justin can't kiss Jasper neither I or maybe he had a female best friend but even at that we should know and she should have joined our clique and number 3 was total of it, Daniel thought.

"Number 1, 2, and 3 are all lies". Daniel stated.

"That's not the rule of the game Justin, you should say two truths and one lie". Jasper joined.

"Of course, there are two truths and one lie". Justin defended never dropping his smile.

"You like Jennifer, Daniel and I always see how in love you two love birds are. you may be bisexual so I think the lie is number 2". Jasper stated.

"So what's the correct one". Jasper bites his nails anticipating.

Time slowed down as Daniel had his eyes on Justin eager to know what the correct one is.

"Say it already Justin". Daniel groaned rolling his eyes as to how dramatic Justin could be sometimes.

"Well, the lie is". Justin paused.

"Well the lie is there isn't any lie... they're all truth". Justin added taking Daniel by the neck, Justin had sat close to Daniel

 

Before Daniel could process the information he was given his lips met another pair of lips. His lips were locked in a kiss with Justin. 

Justin kissed Daniel

    Justin kissed Daniel, Daniel sat down there transfixed, he couldn't move nor could he do anything."He kissed me...I was the best friend he talked about kissing". Daniel thought to himself."How could he do this". Daniel was trying to recollect himself."Justin". Jasper said with his mouth in the shape of an o. Daniel reacted to the kiss, he pushed Justin and then threw a heavy punch to his face that broke Justin's lips and made blood sip out. "What the fuck was that Justin". Daniel shouted, his eyebrows creased to depict his anger."You pretend as if you don't know how I feel about you and you gave me signs that you also wanted it". Justin said wiping blood off his lips and then standing up to match Daniel's height, Justin was 4 to 5cm taller than Daniel. Daniel threw another punch at Justin's face drawing another blood from his lips. "I need more of the punch, make me feel how much you're angry that I kissed you". Justin smirked.Daniel threw another punch but it was caught mid-a

    Daniel went upstairs took out the clothes that were a little too big for him and brought them downstairs. The boy with dark red hair was more body built and muscular than Daniel was so Daniel thought the cloth sizes he selected should be the perfect one for him in particular singling out the other guy with natural brown hair. "Here". Daniel tossed the clothes to them."You can go upstairs and change or you can just use the bathroom". Daniel creaked a door open right from the parlor that led to the outside built bathroom.Alec and Basil went out the door and came back a few minutes later with their body covered."I will never forget that guy's body in a haste". Daniel thought to himself as the heat rose to his cheek, he was blushing. "My name is Alec and my friend here is Basil and you're". Alec stretched out his hand to shake the human."Basil". Daniel repeated."Like the fresh herbs used in cooking". Daniel taunted.Basil was embarrassed as the human was making ridicule of his name.

    Daniel hasn't felt so very close to anyone like the way he felt with Alec. His memories took him back to the time he felt a kiss on his lips when he was falling in and out of consciousness. Daniel had felt Alec should have been the person who saved him cause the person who saved him that day had rock-hard abs which Daniel had felt rub against his body and their hair reflected red in his eyes. A few minutes that Alec had touched Daniel, Daniel had the strong suspicion he was saved by Alec. "Could it be him that saved me on that night"? Daniel thought, turning around in his bed. He couldn't sleep."No it can't be...but why do I feel these butterflies in my stomach". Daniel brought his hands to his lips. His memories of the kiss he shared with a stranger are ever still vibrant in his mind and when he looked at Alec's lips he felt those were the lips that kissed him."I can't believe it I have one guy constantly playing in my mind". Daniel sighed burring himself more in his duvet. He was

    Daniel couldn't wait for the teacher to leave his class before he packed his book inside his backpack ready to leave."5, 4, 3, 2, 1". Daniel counted with the clock, and with that, he was done with classes for that day. He rushed out of the class running to the school entrance. He had expected that was where he was going to see Alec on reaching there he was disappointed Alec wasn't there yet. Daniel was beginning to pout. Once again Alec had disappeared from him without saying a proper goodbye and he found out that Alec wasn't the type to keep his promises."I so much hate you for doing this". Daniel said entering the street, he was going to walk home. A few meters after Daniel had walked he heard a motorbike sound coming behind him, he turned to know who it was and it was no other person than Alec, riding beside him on another bike was Basil. They both got motorbikes of different colors. Alec's own was red matching his hair and Basil's was black.Daniel couldn't help but smile at Al

    Daniel froze when he saw Justin, he couldn't find the appropriate word to say to him. He searched for words in his mind but his mind went blank on him at the moment he saw his best friend. "Who was that". Alec asked Daniel judging Daniel's countenance changed when he saw the guy with curly hair."He's my friend". Daniel bluntly replied.Alec carefully examines Daniel."Judging his countenance something had gone wrong between the two people". Alec thought to himself."If he's this affected by the boy then he is more than a friend to Daniel". The sea creature thought again but this time became worried and scared that he had to compete for Daniel with someone."The way he looked at Daniel earlier, his eyes were so full of love and desire". Alec thought again. "No it can't be. I should be the one Daniel loves, I do need to act fast and win the human over". Alec curled his arm around Daniel's shoulder bringing him close to himself."Why not we go to your place, the beach will be relaxing

    Justin stood there in the school cafeteria transfixed, Jasper had just outed him to the school and he didn't know what to do or how to react. Daniel had seen the whole drama display in front of him but he felt that if he stood up for Justin he will be tagged a faggot just like Justin and that's not a reputation he wanted for himself at that moment."So all this time you have been using the boy's locker with us or even took showers with us, you have been looking at our penis". James a guy from the football team questioned Justin but the teenager was still in shock and dumbfounded to respond."You're gay that's why you chose to break up with me is that it Justin". Jennifer confronted Justin."He broke up with you". James smirked."Faggot too sissy to talk". James made a caricature of Justin.Daniel had felt sorry for Justin and wanted to butt in but Alec held him back."What is it Alec, they're Harassing my friend". Daniel said."As long as they haven't started releasing punches yet I

    "I love you Justin but as a friend". Daniel had whispered into Justin's ears engulfing his friend in a hug as he cried on his shoulder."Please let's go back to being friends, I miss all that. I want you back as my friend". Daniel cried more into Justin's shoulder."Is that what you want". Justin said barely audible to Daniel.It was painful for Justin that the one person he loves on the whole earth more than anything only sees him as a friend. It hurt Justin pretty bad; he knows it wasn't his friend's fault, he just can't shove his love down Daniel's throat and expect he will accept him. Love can't be forced Justin had always known that but he wished more than anything in his case at least the one thing he desired in the whole world reciprocated back the same feeling he had for him but staying friends with Daniel was cool Justin had thought as he cried into Daniel's shoulder.Watching the two teenagers cry on each other's shoulders one might have thought they were a couple who got in
