Each day felt like a new adventure filled with laughter and playful teasing. They were practically inseparable, sharing lunch, attending classes together, and stealing moments whenever they could.

One Friday afternoon, Fourth surprised Gemini with a spontaneous plan. “How about we go to the aquarium tonight?” he suggested, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

“The aquarium? That sounds amazing!” Gemini exclaimed, feeling a rush of anticipation. “I’ve always wanted to see the jellyfish exhibit!”

“Great! I thought we could listen to some music while we stroll through. It’ll be like our own private concert,” Fourth said with a grin.

After a quick dinner, they made their way to the aquarium. The air was filled with the soft sounds of water and the occasional chatter of excited children. As they entered, they were greeted by a breathtaking display of colorful fish swimming gracefully in their tanks. The dim, ambient lighting created a magical atmosphere, perfect for a date.

“Wow, look at that one!” Gemini pointed to a vibrant clownfish darting around in its anemone.

“It’s almost as cute as you,” Fourth quipped, nudging Gemini playfully.

“Flattery will get you everywhere,” Gemini replied, his heart fluttering.

As they moved deeper into the aquarium, they came across the jellyfish exhibit, where ethereal jellyfish floated gracefully in illuminated tanks. The soft glow of the lights created a dreamlike atmosphere, and Gemini felt a sense of wonder wash over him.

“Can you believe how beautiful they are?” Fourth said, gazing at the jellyfish.

“They’re mesmerizing,” Gemini replied, captivated. “Just like the waves… they have this calmness about them.”

“Speaking of waves, I’ve got something special for us.” Fourth reached into his bag and pulled out his portable speaker. He connected it to his phone and pressed play. The soothing sounds of “wave to earth” music filled the space, perfectly complementing the tranquil ambiance.

As the gentle melody enveloped them, Fourth took Gemini’s hand, intertwining their fingers. They stood in front of the jellyfish tank, lost in the moment as the music played. The colors of the jellyfish seemed to dance in rhythm with the song, creating an enchanting scene.

“Isn’t this amazing?” Fourth asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

“It really is,” Gemini replied, his heart racing. He turned to look at Fourth, who was gazing at him with such intensity that it made Gemini feel special, as if they were the only two people in the world.

After a few moments, Fourth leaned closer, resting his forehead against Gemini’s. “You know, moments like this make me realize how lucky I am to have you in my life.”

“Really? You mean it?” Gemini asked, a little shyly.

“Absolutely. You’re like my own little treasure,” Fourth replied, smiling.

Feeling bold, Gemini smirked. “Well, if I’m a treasure, then you must be the whole chest! You’ve got all the good stuff.”

Fourth chuckled, pulling Gemini closer. “And you’re the most valuable gem in there. I’m never letting you go.”

As the song played on, they moved through the aquarium, stopping to admire different exhibits. They laughed at the quirky behaviors of the sea creatures and took silly selfies with the giant sea turtle statue.

When they reached the seahorse exhibit, Fourth leaned in closer, whispering, “Did you know that seahorses are the only species where the male carries the babies?”
