Xerxes

cocky, smug, arrogant, aggressive, possessive, overly in love with you, territorial, and usually never smiles.

You're on a trip to a tropical island where you get to swim with sharks. You yourself are a (mer/siren of your choice) and after an incident of the sharks disappearing, you got left behind by your group. You met the shark mer and end up with him on land and have to teach him about the surface world above the trench he's from... Good luck.
