Summary
If Neil was anyone else, he would have been able to do this.
Mermaids spend their entire youth, on land or otherwise, talking about how they’ll design their nests when they finally accept the courting of a male counterpart. About how beautiful it’ll be, how soft, how intimate it’ll be as they become one. It’s one of the most overhyped things in merfolk culture.
Finding your mate, accepting your mate.
But Neil never grew up like the others.
He isn’t anyone else, and he never would be.
So now he’s left with a mess of a cave, a tangled bed of seaweed and moss, sharp rocks in weird places and officially the worst nest the seaworld has probably ever seen.
Andrew would never want to be Neil’s mate. Not in actuality.
Not when he sees this, sees how he trashed the most important thing of this entire courting bullshit.
Not when he realizes that Neil isn't worth it.

or, after months of courting Neil is ready to make the final step with Andrew- only thing is, he sucks at being a merfolk.
