Jumping on that mermay sides train before its too late

So i was thinking about mermay and the sides and i wanted to come up with my own take!!

Patton is a big boy Florida manatee mer

Grew up in human captivity due to the rarity of his kind, had a pretty positive experience until the end

When he reached sexual maturity, the humans tried to get him to mate with on of the other manatee mers. However, hes gay as heck and reluctant. Hes pressured into it by one of the worse people, told that by refuseing his hurting everyone around him.

And so he mates with the other mers, who despite their sympathy towards him are unadle to help. He feels awful about himself but tries to act like hes okay. Though eventually its found his efforts are futile, because it turns out that hes infertile.

Hes relieved by this news, because that means he wont need to mate anymore. However it also means hes no longer seen as useful and is chipped put in the wild.

Tries to keep hope at first, passing time by cleaning the rubbish littered around the river he now lives in. He makes things, weaving little bracelts and tieing a net around his neck like his favorite human who did the same with their hoodie. Doing this makes him happy because he knows how bad these thing can be for the environment.

Hes pretty much alone besides a few fish, tend to stay away due to his size. The loneliness hurts, especially when more time passes and he loses hope on the humans returning. Until one day, something zooms past him when hes napping.

Curious, he swims after the thing that woke him. He swam to a new area of the river hes never seen, due to its lack of vegetation for him to eat. There in the middle of the wide river, propped on a rock and messily eating a fish, was another mer.

Despite the others sharp teeth and claws, he felt no fear as he slowly approached. When the other noticed him he startled, but quickly grew a toothy grin and waved.

The mers name was Remus, and hes an crocodile mer. Hes new to the river, but has been alone for a lot longer then Patton. Hes delighted to see another mer who wasnt swimming away in fear, rambeling excitedly as he circles the other. He then gasps and points at pattons "trash fashion". Patton gets excited by this and the two talk about what they have made, Remus showing off his beloved trash-bag sash.

Overtime there relationship grows, Remus visiting Pattons part of the river to share stories. Patton teaches Remus a few puns and Remus shares with him things hes crafted. They care immensely for one another, the smaller croc loveing to cuddle hug patton while telling him every little detail of his day.

Their relationship is strong despite their major differences,bonding over the abandonment they both have faced. Perhaps ones day something will happen where they meet other mers, but until then they are comfortable just having each other.

I already wanted to do something with Manatee Patton, but then i learnd mantatees and crocodiles are actually alright with eachother. That made me think of florida which made me think of Thomas and then the sides.

This is Intruality, but i couldnt decide if i eanted to make it romantic or a qpr but either way i think its cute. Anyways, if enough people enjoy then may expand on it and draw something for this idea.
