Romelle Big Bang is coming!

Romelle Week Day 5 - Pokemon

Shiro was a simple man with simple hobbies. Simple hobbies that did not include finding an attractive mermaid in the lake that Shiro regularly fished at. Well, it wasn’t exactly a mermaid more like a siren? Maybe.

It all started one day when Shiro had gotten pissed at his little brother (adoptive) and stormed off to the lake with his fishing equipment, ready to catch something big. And big it was indeed.

A mermaid popped her head out of the lake, prompting Shiro to scream like a little baby and fall back. The mermaid wasn’t interested in him though, instead pointing at the food and then to her mouth with jagged teeth inside that looked like it could easily rip through Shiro’s flesh.

“Are you…” Shiro trailed off, gesturing between the food and the mermaid, who’s webbed ears flicked at the sound of his voice. The mermaids unblinking violet eyes unnerved Shiro a bit but he continued. “Can you understand me?”

A pause, then a tiny nod. The mermaid nearly jumped onto the dock, instead opting to put her pale arms onto the deck. Her arms almost looked human but there was a smooth sheen to it that showed Shiro it was indeed not human flesh. The fishgirl beckoned for Shiro’s hand before she placed it on her pale forehead.

“My name is Romelle. I’m not supposed to be interacting with humans but you are so fascinating. I see you here every quintant,” The mermaid, Romelle said. Shiro jumped back, holding his hand against his chest and looking at Romelle with horror and amazement.

“You can talk?” Shiro asked in awe, dropping to his knees to shuffle towards Romelle again, not so subtlely studying her blonde pigtails, violet eyes, webbed ears and hands and those peculiar blue marks under her eyes.

Romelle took Shiro’s hand and placed it on her forehead again. “Only like this. I can understand your human talk but I cannot speak it,” Romelle communicated to Shiro, pointing at the gills on the side of her neck. “Just like you humans can’t speak underwater we cannot speak above.”

Shiro sat back on his heels and looked at Romelle like she had just hung the moon. “This is amazing,” he whispered, putting a prosthetic hand to his head. “Am I going crazy or is there a real mermaid in front of me.”

Romelle put a webbed hand in front of her mouth like she was laughing before the movement died out quickly and Romelle’s eyes perked up. Romelle spared Shiro a single wave before she was gone with a splash of her baby blue tail, leaving Shiro blindsided on the creaky wooden dock once more.

—

Things went like that for the next couple months. Shiro would come back to the dock every night to talk to Romelle and Romelle would almost always disappear too soon for Shiro’s liking.

Keith began to get suspicious. One day he followed his brother out to the dock and saw Shiro laughing to himself, or what seemed like himself. As Keith began to get closer he could see a girl in the water and it was definitely not a human girl.

“Woah is that a mermaid!” Keith shouted, startling Shiro into looking back and him and the mermaid to slip back into the water. “There’s no way you can tell me I was just imagining that either.”

Shiro sighed before gesturing at the water for Romelle to come back up. Hesitantly the mermaid peeked her head back up and gave a shy wave to Keith. “Keith, this is Romelle. Romelle this is my brother Keith.”

“Wicked,” Keith breathed out, eagerly sitting on the edge of the dock right by Romelle. “Where did you find it?”

“Romelle is a she not an it,” Shiro shot a dirty look at Keith who just rolled his eyes. “And I didn’t find her, she came to me.” Shiro said with those gooey puppy dog eyes that almost made Keith gag.

“God this is just like a cliche fanfiction,” Keith scoffed, opening his phone up and looking at his messages. “Anyway, have fun with your mergirlfriend, I’m going out.”

And like that Keith was gone, leaving Shiro yet another sputtering mess.

Romelle gently grabbed Shiro’s hand and put it to her forehead shyly. “Is your human sibling correct that you like me romantically?” she asked.

“….yes?”

Romelle’s face lit up, well as least as much as a mermaid’s could, and she flashed Shiro a wait sign before disappearing into the ocean. Shiro patiently waited until she popped back up with two glowing gems in necklaces and handed one to him. Shiro was a bit confused but obediently put on the baby blue necklace and waited.

“Can you hear me?”

Shiro jumped a little, looking around until his eyes landed on Romelle, who had her own deep purple necklace on around her neck.

“We can talk without me putting my hand on your forehead?” Shiro spluttered, leaning closer to Romelle who had the equivilant of a blush on her cheeks.

“It’s reserved specially for mates or people that are very close to you, so you can communicate even when you are miles apart.” Romelle explained, leaning up ever so slightly before placing a little peck on Shiro’s lips. It tasted like saltwater but he didn’t mind. “Do you return my advances Shiro?” she asked shyly.

“Yes.”

That was the day Shiro got kind of engaged to a really pretty mermaid girl.

Romelle Week Day 7–Mermaid/Free Day.

Romelle Week Day 3 - Role Swap and Day 4 - Soulmates

I didn’t do a clean drawing for them bc I didn’t wanna fall too far behind aah~

But yee colored half-sketches or smth :’)

For the soulmate thing I chose a universe were they get the name and a colored mark somewhere on their body once they reach a certain age (16 maybe? idk) and Romelle has Allura and Hunk as soulmates♥

Pidge had always prided herself on being a great pokemon trainer. At just 10 years old she was a genius, becoming a trainer with her very own Bulbasaur and traveling to be the best trainer ever! She knew it was a long shot, but with her powerful pokemon Pidge believed in herself. After 7 years she almost completed it too!

Well, at least until Romelle joined her little party with her useless Magikarp, assshole Dunsparce , passive Metapod and annoying cute Luvdisk. Romelle herself was a little weird too.

The girl would bounce past Pidge very often, even though Pidge warned her many many times to be careful where she was stepping. More often than not Romelle would get distracted by shiny things or cute pokemon and make Pidge stop in her tracks to drag Romelle away. She already had enough useless pokemon.

“Romelle! Stop messing around with that–” Pidge started to bark at Romelle until she turned around to see the girl cuddling with a little vulpix on the ground. “Christ Romelle where did you find that?” Pidge asked, walking closer to the vulpix. She had been looking for one forever!

“I just found her,” Romelle giggled, pulling the vulpix into a big hug. “I named her Ginger.” Ginger, apparently, cocked her head at Pidge. Pidge picked up the little pup and held her arms length away, examining the fox creature.

Apparently Ginger had enough of Pidge’s scrutiny and breathed fire onto her face, singing a few pieces of Pidge’s hair. “Ow!” Pidge yelped, dropping the animal back into Romelle’s arms. “Control your demon.” she scowled, becoming more irritated at Romelle when she gave her the puppy dog eyes.

“Ginger won’t hurt anyone.”

—

The second time Romelle had stumbled across a pokemon was in Kanto. Romelle had somehow found an Eevee behind a lone trash can in the middle of the street. As per usual Romelle had ran up to the small little animal and scooped it up, hugging it to her chest like a teddy bear.

“Isn’t Teddy adorable?” Romelle cooed, holding the eevee out in front of Pidge and swaying the small creature who looked like it was about to pass out or be sick.

“Yeah sure,” Pidge deadpanned, looking around for another eevee when–there! Pidge ran after the eevee like Romelle had but the thing got so scared it ran off in a blur of brown fur. Pidge chased after it until she ran into a solid mass. Looking up, PIdge came face to face with this giant man who looked like he could crush Pidge easily,

Luckily he didn’t. The man picked up the eevee easily and snuggled it close to his chest. “Cinnamon, what have I told you about running away?” The man berated, petting the little animal anyway.

Pidge stood slack jawed as the large man cuddled the small pokemon, she didn’t even notice when Romelle came up from behind her. “Aren’t they so cute?” Romelle cooed, scratching her eevee on the head. “Pidge here isn’t too amused by the last pokemon I caught.”

The two hit it off almost immediately. Chatting about cute pokemon and eevee’s, even going so far as to introduce their own eevees to each other and gush about them. The man’s name turned out to be Hunk and Hunk apparently loved cute pokemon as well, complimenting Romelle’s ‘adorable luvdisk’. Pidge just rolled her eyes.

Pidge: 0 Romelle: 2

—

By the third time Pidge was beyond baffled. Not only had Romelle found an extremely rare pokemon, but she had managed to befriend the shy creature by singing it to it.

The Jirachi as it turned out to be, loved Hunk and Romelle almost immediately when the trio stumbled into the mountains and Romelle tripped over a root. The root subsequently sent Romelle sprawling into a bush where she found a jirachi perched there.

After befriending the cute thing Romelle called over Hunk, who also gushed about how cute the Jirachi was. Together they named the jirachi Honeydew, introducing the creature to Cinnamon, Teddy and Ginger.

A rustle in the bushes caught Pidge’s attention, making Pidge hush the two making sweet noises at Honeydew. “Both of you shush,” Pidge hissed, sneaking up carefully to gauge the things rustling before a tall, lanky boy popped out, sending Pidge sprawling into the ground.

“Hunk! I found you!” the boy panted, his hands coming to rest on his thighs. “Man that was way too long of a run. I did manage to find that Pidgeotto though!”

Hunk perked up, barreling over Pidge who had just gotten back up to squeeze the guy into a bone crushing hug. “Lance! You’re ok! I was so worried,” Hunk breathed out a sigh of relief and wiped at his brow. “Romelle come meet Lance!” Hunk shouted.

Pidge, who had gotten up the second time was yet again bowled over by an over enthusiastic Romelle, her pokemon even jumping on Pidge’s chest and stomach to follow their master.

“I give up.” Pidge groaned.

—

With Lance on the journey with them it was even more infuriating. Pidge found her eye twitching when the three of them dragged her to a water biome, Romelle naturally getting her foot stuck in the mud and almost falling into a pond.

Much to Pidge’s chagrin, Romelle was saved by a little Dratini, earning the ‘awww’s from everyone except Pidge who stood their moodily. Hunk, Lance and Romelle all fought over what to name the creature Romelle had just caught but Pidge still couldn’t understand how Romelle was so lucky.

After 20 minutes of bickering over the name ‘Martini’ or ‘Rasberry’ the three stopped to ask Pidge, snapping her out of her train of thought. “What?” Pidge asked again dumbly.

“What should the Dratini be called?” Romelle asked again, a little slower this time.

Pidge sputtered for a second before answering. “Rover. Name it Rover,” she finally decided, earning groans from everyone around. Lance went as far as to even throw some reeds at Pidge and boo.

“Alright, alright no fighting. His name is rover,” Romelle said firmly, petting the top of the dratini’s head happily as she bounced along.

Pidge could only stand there in slack jawed shock. Romelle had chosen the name Rover because Pidge decided? Though Pidge wouldn’t show it, there was a small flush on her pale face as she chased to catch up with Romelle.

The girl was surprising her more and more every day.

—

The last time Romelle magically found a pokemon was in the arid desert where Pidge was dying of heat exhaustion and thirst, though she didn’t voice it.

When the sandshrew popped out in front of Romelle and Pidge, making the shorter girl scream and fall back into the sand sand rushed into her throat and eyes, subsequently making Pidge choke on it.

“Oh god!” Hunk almost screamed, helping Pidge up with the help of Lance and getting her onto a safe spot on the ground. “Are you ok?”

“Peachy.”

There was an excited cheer before Romelle ran back to the little group with a grumpy looking sandshrew in her arms. “Look how cute she is!” Romelle grinned, squeezing the sandshrew to her chest happily.

“What did you name her?” Hunk asked excitedly, dropping Pidge onto the sand again in the process. “I have ideas for a name if you don’t have one!”

“I named her Pidge, because she’s so grumpy.”

Pidge felt her jaw unhinge at that, filling up her mouth with grainy sand again. “Wha!” Pidge spluttered, standing up to put her hands on her hips. “I’m not grumpy!” she sqawked.

“Yes you are,” Romelle countered, playfully smacking Pidge on the back. “Besides, I think the name is fitting.” If you looked close enough you could see the growing blush on both Romelle and Pidge’s faces.

Yeah. Pidge didn’t mind having a sandshrew named after her.

Glowing purple lights, almost as beautiful as her brother’s eyes. She could feel everyone surrounding her vibrating with emotions, having the time of their lifes. 

“Awesome, huh?”, said Keith in a quiet voice, not even looking away from the scenario in front of them. There was a soft smile gracing his features and his eyes were sparkling with admiration. Wow, her mullet bro was pining hard.

“Yeah, James looks so–” Romelle didn’t get to finish when a hand was pressed to her mouth, but she didn’t need to. Keith’s face was almost as red as his shirt and if glares could kill…

And yes, Romelle was convinced the reason Keith insisted on taking her to this little place, of which she had never heard of, and offered to pay for everything she wanted was that his friend… Rival? James’ band was playing here tonight.

The music stopped and the moment the lead singer started talking Keith forgot about her and turned to look at the scenario again. Rolling her eyes, Romelle side hugged him, listening to the ‘thank you’ words that came from the boy with the mic.

“Again, thanks for coming tonight!” The crowd started to cheer and so did Romelle. “Thanks, Lief, Nadia, Ryan, Vero. Without you guys I wouldn’t be here.” Everyone cheered louder and for the first time the blonde took a closer look at the other members of the band. Most of them were smiling, just looking pleased to be there, but not the drummer. Standing behind the drums was a girl smiling and waving at the crowd. Her blue hair was tied up in a messy bun and she was wearing an oversized “les bee an” t-shirt. She wore glasses and the lights made her skin glow. 

“Keith…” Romelle started shaking his shoulder to get his attention, without success. “Mullet! Yorak!" 

"What’s it, 'melle?!” Came the annoyed response next to her, but the boy was still looking at the man speaking in front of the crowd. 

“Keith, who’s that?!” The girl kept tugging at Keith’s sleeve, trying to point at the beautiful girl without it being too noticeable. 

“Oh, the drummer?” Keith grinned at her. “I think her name is Rizav–”.

“And I see you’re here, Kogane…” everyone fell silent after that, including the disaster siblings in the middle of the crowd. “I know we’re always competing with each other but, honestly? Your voice is… You’re an inspiration. It means a lot to me that you came." 

James and Keith’s eyes were looked. Their expressions so fond Romelle felt as if she was intruding just by being in the same planet as them. Gross.

The moment was broken when the beautiful drummer stage whispered: "Great, Griffin, that was so gay!”, Making the crowd go wild again.

After another quick “thanks” the lead singer ran out of the scenario.

“Oh, Yorak! I thought you were a gay disaster but after that–" 

"Shut up, 'melle!” Was the last thing he said before running in the direction he saw James disappear. Even if she tried, Romelle couldn’t suppress her next words.

“Go, mullet! Kiss the boy!”

Grinning, Romelle turned to see Gorgeous Drummer looking at her, and she considered doing something for her own case as well.

~~~

This… Turned out to be really different of what I was planning 😄 it’s more jaith than rizamelle, I know! And idk the actual name of the ship, does it exist?

Info you don’t need of this au:

Romelle and Keith are adoptive siblings. Krolia adopted Romelle after she lost her family.

Romelle heard Lance calling him 'Mullet’ and of course she had to use it too.

I can imagine tons of designs for Romelle as a boy omg she could be so cool!
