sharks [e]

you and your boyfriend ethan were at a shark tank. today, you'd be swimming with the sharks. ethan's biggest fear is sharks, and you wanted to help him overcome it.

you were currently in the change room, putting your black skin tight wetsuit on. ethan was in the other change room, doing the same thing.

you finished, and left the change room. ethan still wasn't done. he was probably taking his sweet time, since he was so nervous. you looked for something to sit on, but didn't find anything near the change room so you sat down on the floor outside the change room.

"come on, ethan. we only have a certain amount of time." you said. you heard a loud sigh come from inside the change room, and out walked ethan. he had his wetsuit on, and was ready to go.

"let's just get this over with." he mumbled. you nodded, and held out your hand. he took it and you led him over to the front desk, where your helper was.

"are you both ready?" she asked once you and ethan came into view.

"yeah, i think so." you replied. ethan simply nodded.

"okay, follow me." the lady said.

you and ethan followed her around the building, until coming to a large glass tank, kind of like an inground pool, with a circular lid. [ a/n; i literally have no idea how to describe this ]

"okay, we have a few rules before you go in with the sharks. please don't remove your oxygen tanks or breather at any time, try not to talk, so that your breather doesn't fall out, and please try not to touch the sharks." she said. "now i'll go get all your equipment."

the helper walked away, and turned a corner. ethan was looking into the tank. there was two sharks inside, peacefully swimming around.

"hey, don't worry. i'll be right beside you the whole time." you said, trying to reassure him. ethan just nodded.

the lady came back, carrying two pairs of flippers and two oxygen tanks, with all the stuff that the oxygen tanks needed.

"alright, put your flippers on first while i get your oxygen tanks into place." she said, and handed you and ethan each a pair of flippers. there was an adjuster at the back, which you used to make the flippers fight your feet better.

"now, here's a tank for you." she said, handing ethan a tank. it was hooked onto a backpack type thing with two straps, and the breathed coming out of the top of the tank. ethan put his arms through the straps, and clipped the tank on, using a clip at his stomach. he put the breather over his shoulder, so he knew where it was. the lady then handed you one, and you put it on.

"alright, let's go." the lady said. you and ethan followed her to the opening of the tank. there was a ladder starting at the top, and going all the way down into the water. "put your breather in your mouth before getting on the ladder." the lady instructed. you and ethan did as she said.

you got onto the ladder, and made your way down. the water wasn't too cold as it hit your legs and flowed into your flippers. once the water was up to your shoulders, you let go of the ladder, and sank into the water, the oxygen tank weighing you down. you turned around, and saw the two sharks at the opposite end of the tank. with a small splash, you also saw ethan sinking into the water. you looked over at him, and gave him a thumbs up. he shook his head, and swam backwards. he pressed his back against the tank and gripped the ladder as he watched the sharks swim around.

you swam away from ethan, getting closer to the sharks. they hadn't even acknowledged you or ethan's existence when you got into the water.

you turned around to face ethan, and used your hand to wave him over. he shook his head again, refusing to come over. you rolled your eyes, and continued swimming towards the sharks. one had turned to look at you, and you stopped swimming. you slowly moved over to the closest wall, and watched the sharks.

you felt something behind you, and spun your head around. it was ethan, he had swam over to you. he nodded at you, and swam ahead of you. you felt proud of him, but couldn't smile because of the gear in your mouth.
