a mix for my favorite little mermaid in storybrooke and all the drama i’ve put her through. [listen]

That voice. Her Voice. It was still with him even now, even when everyone from the healer to Phillip was telling him that it was nothing more than a figment of his imagination. You were too long at sea. That's what they'd said when he first told them about the beautiful song that pulled him to the edge of the ship day after day, even during the storm that struck when they were almost safely home. It can do strange things to a man's head. They insisted when he spoke of the girl who'd dragged him from the waves and stayed by his side until he came round. 

The castle walls were driving him almost as mad as everyone seemed so sure he was. It had been a week since he'd almost drowned and he could still hear her just as clearly as he had when she was on the sand beside him. He needed to get out and there was only one place that could make him feel better so he got Max and made the short journey down to the water. 

The sound of the waves was soothing but not quite enough to drive away the melody that had been haunting him for so long. Not even playing with the his boisterous dog at wrestling was enough to distract him from wondering who she could have been. It was while he was lost in these thoughts that Max took off barking down the sand the way he only did when there was something or someone he didn't know present. 

"Max come back" He yelled as he gave chase. It was never a good look to have your pet terrorising innocent people as they tried to enjoy the favourable weather down by the sea but when Eric got closer to Max's newest annoyance he noticed that the dog wasn't annoyed at all. In face he was covering the poor girl with licks, so many that he seemed to have knocked her to the floor. "I'm sorry M'lady." Eric offered with a blush, one hand pulling Max off of her while he gave a small bow. Only then did he notice that the girl on the sand was shoeless and that her only clothes seemed to be an old tattered sail from one of the fishing boats that trawled the shore. 

This night was going almost perfectly. Although she had took some convincing to attend Shae was enjoying herself, or at least Matthew thought she was. He hadn't quite got a handle on her yet and that was one of the reasons he was so very fascinated with her. It was a Valentines day ball and that made her his Valentine he supposed as he watched her sister dragging her off to dance to a song they had known well in their childhoods. They were yet to have the talk. The one about where this was going and what they wanted but that was a good thing in his book, in his limited experience that conversation changed a lot of things and sometimes not for the better. 

Matt was a good dancer when he felt like it so he and his possibly almost girlfriend had taken a spin around the floor a few times already tonight. Each time they had been met with not so subtle glares from a certain best friend of his. He tried to put it down to that over protective streak that ran through his room mate. Often Matt found himself being treated like a child in his friends class but when it came to girls he was more often than not the son who no girl would ever be good enough for. 

With a smile and little wave to Shae he decided he'd rescue her from the group of hand holding girls that were starting to form around her and Hope. But not quite yet. Brooke lived down the hall from him and he spotted her now standing alone by the drinks looking a little troubled. She looked particularly stunning tonight and despite them both arriving with dates he thought maybe a friendly reminder of that would perk her up a little. Cutting through the crowd of loved up couples and very merry dancers Matt found himself standing beside her in only a few minutes. "S'up piglet." He smiled warmly hoping that their little pet names for each other would earn him a smile back.
