Akira's POV

We glided slowly, passing by corals and sea creatures. The sea glowed with glory. It was beautiful, really.  I swirled around some corals, a few glowing fish mimicking my movements around me. My ilu made a happy sound when I beamed. That made me smile even more.

I glanced at Neteyam who had been staring at me. I couldn't help but giggle when he was caught red-handed. He looked away, blushing.  I felt confused when I felt...something. It was like there were a thousand butterflies in my stomach. What was this? 

I didn't want to know.

After a while, we went up to the surface for air. We exchanged looks and laughed.

" That was fun," I breathed as I grinned.

" Yeah, very," he huffed. We were a little out of breath: we were doing a small holding breath competition. Of course, I won.

" I won," I said proudly. Neteyam rolled his eyes.

" Yeah, yeah."

" Admit it, Teyam, I'm better at holding my breath," I teased.

" No way!" he exclaimed playfully.

" Say it, who's better at holding their breath?"

" No way I'm saying it," he smiled.

" Admit it!" I laughed. Oops, that was a little loud. Neteyam hushed me.

" Okay! Okay! Fine!" he huffed, " You are."

" Who am I?" I asked, pushing him on.

He smirked. " A beauty."

I gasped and hit him playfully making him chuckle. I could feel my face burning off.

" Aww, are you flustered?" he cooed.

" Shut up," I muttered but I couldn't help but smile.

" You? You're a beauty, that's who you are," he said, smirking.

"Shut up," I mumbled.

My face was definitely blushing. 

He chuckled.
