Lagged around the aquarium, his cheeks still flushed from the foot massage Tin had given him. It was incredible how nonchalant Tin had been about it, as if it was the most ordinary thing in the world. Luckily, they had chosen a secluded booth where no one could witness their playful antics. It was this privacy that emboldened him to tease his date, but he couldn't help but marvel at Tin's audacity. It felt like they had been together for ages, not just on their first date. Saifah's voice in his mind reminded him that they had been acting like a couple for so long that it hardly mattered anymore.

Tin flashed an innocent smile as he asked, "Feeling okay? Are your feet tired?" Can blushed once more, shaking his head as he quickly moved to Tin's side, their hands almost brushing against each other. "I apologize for teasing you so much. It just felt. "

"Natural?" Can felt a sense of joy knowing that Tin shared the same emotions. With a nod, the older man gently intertwined his fingers with Can's, holding his hand for a brief moment. Can couldn't help but feel grateful that the aquarium was nearly deserted, except for Tee who was captivated by the graceful dolphins gliding through the expansive tank.

"Yeah. " Tin squeezed his fingers and then very reluctantly let him go humming softly "I think that for our next date it should be a little more private. "

"Next date? You. Want another date with me?" Can was unable to control the nerves and disbelief that tinged his words, but he felt a rush of joy when Tin firmly nodded in agreement, reaching out to hold his hand once more, their fingers intertwining as he gently pulled him closer. Little did he expect Tin to display such audacity in his actions, but he found solace in the fact that it propelled them forward. Despite his lingering disbelief, he remained convinced that this extraordinary sequence of events was merely a fantastical dream, one he would eventually be jolted awake from. However, the intensity in Tin's gaze was beyond anything his imagination could conjure, surpassing even his wildest dreams.

"Of course I do. If you want another with me?"

"Yes!" Can winced, feeling his cheeks flush with embarrassment as his voice squeaked loudly. Surprisingly, Tin's intense gaze only grew stronger, especially as a smile started to form on his face.

"I'm glad. Can. " Tin leaned in so close to Can that he could feel his breath on his face, making Can almost certain that a kiss was imminent. Just as Can was about to give in to the moment, Tee's loud and excited voice interrupted them next to the playful dolphins.

"Daddy! Mommy! Are you going to kiss?!"

Version 1: The sound of his voice reverberated through the tanks, causing Can to quickly move away from Tin, his face turning red as a family of four suddenly emerged from around the corner of another tank. Tin let out a laugh, playfully tousling Tee's hair and giving Can a sly wink.

"Not until later, okay?"

"Can I have the lion?" Tee excitedly waved the lion plush with his black hair, his face beaming with enthusiasm. Tin knew he couldn't turn down the request, but he had to respond gently.

"Tee. It's 'May I have the lion?"

"May I have the lion daddy? Please!" Tee asked cuddling the teddy to his chest his nose and mouth nuzzling into the top of the black hair.

"Of course you may. " Tin flashed a smile at him once more, then shifted his attention to Can, who was carefully examining the keyrings and pendants displayed on the wall. Can seemed completely absorbed in the selection, yet Tin noticed that he hadn't made a decision yet. Knowing Can's tendency to avoid splurging on himself, Tin wasn't shocked. He felt relieved when Can finally moved on, allowing Tin to take a closer look at the items that had caught Can's interest.
