Melbastian is the friend ship between Sebastian and Melody from The Little Mermaid fandom.

Canon
Sometime after Melody was born, Sebastian was told that Ariel had given birth to a girl who she wants to raise between the worlds of land and sea. On the day that the two worlds came together to celebrate Melody meeting the people of the sea for the first time, baby Melody notices Sebastian pup out of the water and giggles in excitement. Seeing that the human baby is happy to see him, Sebastian smiles at her. When Ursula's sister, Morgana attacks the party so she could use Melody in her plan to get the trident from the sea king, Sebastian hid until her foiled plan forces Morgana to retreat while promising to go after Melody again. Because of this, Ariel decides to raise away from the sea until Morgana is caught and before King Trident leaves Melody and her surface world family, he orders Sebastian to keep an eye on Melody. Which the crab wasn't happy about, as it is very similar to one of him keeping an eye on Ariel, but knew that he'll have to follow the order through.

While Melody was raised as a normal girl who was made to believe that mermaids weren't real or that her mother was once one, Ariel's mermaid origins allows Melody to have the ability to understand Sebastian and other sea animals. Like he did with Ariel and her secret grotto, Sebastian keeps Melody's secret drives and the items she collects from the ocean a secret from her mother. Since Sebastian couldn't tell Melody the fact that she is just like her mother, until her parents finally decide to tell their daughter the truth. Until then Sebastian does that he can to keep Melody company, allows Melody to share her thoughts about her secret with him and that her love for the sea doesn't get her in trouble, when one of her drives makes Melody late for her birthday party that Sebastian reminds her of. When Sebastian hear some of the surface world's children say bad things about Melody for being different from them, he feels sorry for her as they sneak back into Melody's room. Becasure Melody was in a rush to get ready before her mother arrivals up steers, she unknowingly ties Sabastian to her dress while he was still hanging onto the ribbon.

Melody became aware of this when her dancing partner places his hand on her while Sabastian was trying to free himself. After the crab hands in Melody's birthday cake she ask the upset Sebastian if he is alright, but her talking to him in public gets the half of the room to laugh at Melody for talking to a crab. Shortly after had a fight with Ariel, Sebastian sees that Melody is still upset and tries to cheer her up with the fact that people change they grow, but Melody was too focused on her need for answers about the magical lock she found. Sebastian tried to stop Melody from running away on the open sea but failed, feeling bad for failing to keep Melody safe, he bursts into tears as he tells Ariel and Eric that Melody has ran away.
