Sharks

Tara's POV:

Today I took my lovely girlfriend to an aquarium. Which at the time felt like a great idea and it still does. Only... I didn't think everything through.

"THEY HAVE SHARKS!" Y/N yelled as she pointed to the glass underneath her, eyeing the sharks that swam by. "Oh my god, that's a nurse shark."

"It is, baby." I had no clue what was.

Y/N jogs to the other side of the room we were in, being impossibly close to the glass wall as she watched more sharks pass by. "That's a sand tiger shark, that's a black tip reef shark. Oh! That's a Bonnethead shark."

"They're very fascinating, babe." I rubbed her back. She was always so adorable when she rambled on and on about sharks.

"Did you know that sand tiger sharks have the ability to gulp air and store it in their stomachs? It allows them to hover almost motionlessly when hunting or resting." Y/N turned to me with a smile.

I chuckled. "Really?" I put my hands on her hips from behind as I looked at a certain shark in particular that had stripes on it. "What's that one?"

"That's a zebra shark." Y/N bounced on her feet. "Zebra sharks have the ability to reproduce sexually and asexually. Females can produce offspring without fertilization by a male. It's a rare form of asexual reproduction."

"How interesting." I took her hand and dragged her over to look at the little facts on boards our around the room. "What's a fact about tiger sharks that you think is on here?" I covered up the board as I asked her this.

Y/N hummed in thought. "Oh, that they have powerful enough jaws to break into a turtle's shell."

I turned around and read through it, an impressed smile forming on my face when she got it right. "How about great whites?"

"Maybe their ability to blend in the water. The grey on the top of them helps blend in with the darkness of the ocean floor. The white part of them helps them blend in with the surface above so their prey can't spot them and run away." Y/N babbled with the cutest smile ever.

Later on, I took her to the gift shop and she immediately went to where all the shark souvenirs were. "Get whatever you want, baby." I hugged her from behind.

She leaned back into me as she held up a shark necklace. "Can we get matching ones?"

"Of course." My fave brightened at the idea. Y/N grabbed two shark necklaces - one of them silver and the other gold. We both got matching my hoodies as well and checked out.

On our way out, Y/N intertwines our fingers, swinging our hands in between our sides. "Thank you so much, love." She suddenly blurted. "You're the best girlfriend ever."

She pecked my cheek and my face turned a little red as I smiled, squeezing her hand. "I try for you, darling."

A/N:
did you know that cookiecutter sharks are able to take huge bites out of whales, dolphins, and submarines even if they're small creatures?
