Lab Merman AU Part 4 🐟📕

lab merman AU Part 4 🐟📕

Hank starts spending his lunches with Connor. The freshly-caught fish he buys daily for the merman takes a hefty chunk out of his wallet, but Connor seems to prefer it over the frozen, ground-up stuff that’s thrown into his tank once a day.

Hank brings bits and bobs from home to entertain Connor — a book he’s reading, a Rubik’s cube (no sooner does Hank give this to Connor than the merman chirps and hands it back to him, fully solved), some coins (Connor really likes those). He shows Connor pictures of Sumo and reads bits of his novels out loud to him. Sometimes they just sit in amiable silence—Hank eating his sandwich, Connor his raw fish.

It’s stupid—he doesn’t even know if the merman understands anything he’s doing or saying—but he feels like Connor’s actually starting to become a friend. Connor seems to feel the same, if the way he follows him around like a poodle is any indication; either that or he’s imprinted on Hank or something. Maybe they’re both just lonely.
