Since the minute he's arrived here, Lo'ak has had his eyes on you — not in a creepy, stalker way, (he'll keep telling himself that.) — more so in a he gravitates to you no matter what situation you're both in way.

He attempted — and failed, to convince himself the only reason he'd gawk at you constantly is simply because you're different looking from him.

But he knew it wasn't just that — not when his heart would race a million miles a minute just from the slightest brush of your hands, or when you'd give him your beautiful smile.

He doesn't know what's going on, maybe he's finally losing it — really, all the other girls back home never caused him to feel like this, so why is it that you do? Even Kiri teased him, saying ''Looks like those hormones are going crazy, huh?'', she got smacked.

(Obviously.)

He's cultivated a wonderful plan — and he really doesn't mean to brag, (he does.) But he's positive this will get you to notice him in a much more romantic sense.

He'll take you to the coral reef not too far from your murai, ask you, ''Hey, would you like to go for a dive?'', and then he'll find you the prettiest shell possible — and finally tell you how he feels. Simple. Easy. He's got this, definitely.

He definitely doesn't got this, at first — walking up to you didn't seem like a big deal, I mean it's literally just walking, and then he all of a sudden started overthinking that he's walking funny, or his back isn't straight enough, (seriously what the hell is wrong with him).

But before he could dwell too long on those thoughts you had already spotted him — quickly waving him over to where you were on the beach.

You quickly grabbed his arm, yanking him to down to sit with you — ''Hey! It's good to see you, but why did you look like I stepped on your tail when I waved you over, hm?'', you nudged him with your arm, softly laughing at his confused expression.

Oh, he is so screwed — ''What? No- you got it all wrong I just- listen, do you maybe wanna go for a dive? There's a reef not too far from your murai. — if you want, that is..'' right now he's mentally punching himself, because how do you stutter that much?.

You gave him your brightest smile and nodded, quickly getting up and dragging him into the water. — if he thought you were beautiful on land, you're even more stunning underwater, with different sea creatures, and bubbles around you — you look like you belong here.

He quickly signs he'll be right back, and dives deeper to search for shells — now, one thing about Lo'ak is that he'll always find the prettiest little trinket. — he quickly grabs the shell and swims as fast as he can, after all he doesn't have the proper body to swim nearly as fast as you.

He reaches you and signs for you to come to the surface, to a rock just above the water for both of you to sit on — you both breach the water and sit on the rock, you notice the shell he's holding, ''Oh! Lo'ak, that's a beautiful shell, are you gonna give it to your family?'', you squeeze out any extra water from your hair, giving him a half smile.

Shit, here goes nothing, don't be a fool Lo'ak — ''No, uh, actually I was gonna give it to you..um - I've- so like- you see I kinda have feelings for you?..and I just wanted to-'' You don't let him finish his sentence, after hearing he has feelings for you, that's all you needed to hear — you lean over and give him a peck on his lips.

It's chaste, and it's a bit awkward — however it leaves the both of you smiling like idiots, and blushing like fools. ''I like you too Lo'ak, a lot.''

he's an idiot, but at least he's managed to finally confess to the girl he likes — not without any hiccups of course, no, then he wouldn't be him, but he thinks — this is the happiest he's been in a long time.

so in the end, it doesn't matter if he was awkward, or stuttered, you like him back — that's all that matters.
