It was a sunny afternoon and the octopod was quieter than usual, there were no emergencys or patients to tend to so I was in my room on my phone when I saw an advertisement about a butterfly exhibit. I got up and walked over to Shellingtons lab.
"Hey Shell"
He jumped, previously focused on what he was doing "Oh! Hey Pluto, what's up?"
"Oh I saw an ad for a butterfly exhibit, I thought we should go? It could be fun-"
"Really? I'd love to! Or uh, yeah sure!" He said laughing with a nervous smile.
I laughed "Okay, um meet me in launchbay around 2?"
It was currently one pm.
"Okay! See you then!" He said, smiling.
-Later-
We met in launchbay and took a gup up to the exhibit, getting out of the gup and going inside.
I could tell Shellington was ecstatic already. When we entered, there were so many butterflies and even caterpillars around.
"Fascinating!" Shellington awed at all the species
I giggled, looking around, smiling. Shellington took my hand and dragged me over to a certain area with cocoons.
"Woah" I awed.
"Yeah! Did you know that when caterpillars form a cocoon, they don't just sprout wings? First they turn into mush and then reform into a butterfly!"
"So if you're not doing great, keep going?" I laughed a little, joking. I smiled at him, Shellington is so easily fascinated.
"Hah," he laughed "I guess so" he smiled.
We walked around for a bit, having fun and being fascinated by all the butterflies and caterpillars and cocoons.
"This was nice" I said, smiling, as a butterfly fluttered by.
"Yeah," he smiled "it was."
A butterfly came by and landed on my hand.
"I think it likes you" he laughed
"Yeah" I laughed, admiring all the colors in its wings. There were beautiful pinks and purples but also blues and blacks along with hints of red here and there.
"They say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" said Shellington
"Is that philosophy?" I asked, laughing a little.
"Maybe," he said "but I if I am the beholder, you are my beauty."
"Woah, that was smooth- and cheesy"
We laughed.
"Point being, I like you a lot, could this be considered.."
I looked at him to go on
"a date?"
I smiled "Sure,"
He smiled
"I like you too"
