"what's on your mind little love?"

His voice calls me from my daydreaming

and i grin at him wide,

looking away from the tank. 



"Lets be jellyfish." i giggle,

and he raises his eyebrows,

a smile tugging on the ends of his lips.

"i take you to the aquarium and

you'd like to turn into the creatures?"

he inquires and i grin. 



"Why not? They float around feeling free.

They're beautiful and unique.

Wouldn't it be amazing to live like that?"

I ask, excitement bubbling in my voice. 



"There's one part you're missing,"

he teases, looking away, and i look

back at the jellyfish then to him again.

"What is it?" I press and he smirks a little. 



"You already live like that.

Floating, beautiful, unique.

That's all things you are."

He tells me and i blush scarlet. 



I gently set my forehead on the glass

and one of the small jellyfish turns

from blue into the color of my blush.

"Wait, look!" i say, and he laughs. 



"See, you're already one of them."

he teases and i roll my eyes at him.

He lifts my hand to his lips,

grazing a kiss on my knuckles. 



"I may be one of them, but you're the one

who needs to embrace their jellyfish-ness."

I tell him, mock pouting, and he grins.

"I do embrace it." He dismisses. 



I smile and follow him, holding his hand.

"Oh yeah? Prove it~!" I tease and he laughs.

"Fine, i'll change color just like they do!" He laughs,

and before i can ask how,

he leans forward and kisses my cheek. 



I already know i'm pink, but

watching his cheeks flush red makes me laugh.

"Very well done my little jellyfish." I tease.

"Th-Thanks little love."
