AN: So Im really back here is the chapter I promised you and don't be mad if it's not edited I didn't hear back from my beta today and figured I would replace this chapter with the edited one when she is done with it and if I don't hear back from her in a week or 2 then Im going to need a new beta but hopefully that won't happen. So enjoy the story I will be going back to updating once a week

Ryan felt the air leave his body as he stared up at Ryan with wide eyes he couldn't believe it Troy knew.
"I don't know what you're talking about Troy." He whimpered looking anywhere but up at Troy. He started to feel Troy's hold loosen on him and he slowly slipped into the water he reached up trying to cling to Troy to prevent the inedible but it was too late he could already feel the change as his lower half touched the water. Troy watched as Ryan's long legs transformed into a tail it swished back in forth under the water trying to keep Ryan in an upright position. Ryan let out a small sob he couldn't bear knowing that Troy now knew his secret. Scenarios of troy being so disgusted popped up and his head causing another sob to escape his lips he pushed against Troy's chest trying to get away but Troy held firm and grabbed Ryan's chin forcing him to look up at him. Blue met blue and Troy watched as tears formed in the eyes of the boy he longed to have as his own and cursed himself for causing him to cry. He brushed the forming tears away with his thumbs and whispered. "I'm sorry I made you cry it's just… I had to see for myself if what I saw earlier was true."

"So what now you're going to go off and tell on me. Have me and my sister taken away to be experimented on."

"NO! I won't let anyone take you away I…"

Ryan tilted his head as we watch Troy struggle with whatever he was trying to say. He was so sure that Troy would of took off running the moment he saw his tail but no he was still here and not off telling anyone in a 5 mile radius about his discovery. Ryan was so caught up in pondering what Troy was planning that the next thing that came out of Troy's mouth shocked him.

"…You're beautiful."

Ryan's eyes widen as he saw Troy blush over what he said his mouth gaping open and closing like a fish. He couldn't believe he heard Troy say he was beautiful he must have been daydreaming. Troy at this point was struggling with how to deal with the lack of response he was getting out of Ryan.

"Say something please."
"I'm not sure how to respond to being called beautiful by you. I mean it was just the other day that you shoved me away."

"I know and I'm sorry it's just… You scare me..." Ryan head shot up with a stung look on his face. "No I mean these feelings I have for you scare me. I never felt this way about anyone else. I mean Gabby never made me feel like this when I was with her, but you make me feel things that I've never felt before." Troy pulled Ryan close to him he shivered as he felt Ryan's tail graze his legs his eyes met Ryan's again who was looking up at him in aw he place his left hand on Ryan's lower back and his right hand cupped the side of Ryan's face as he pulled him closer their lips barley touching. He never took his eyes off of Ryan and whispered.

"I love you." And kissed him.
