[A few weeks have gone by.]

You stared at the seemingly never ending ocean, its cold and dark waters hiding its strange yet beautiful secrets from you. You had been spending more and more time at the old harbour, learning more and more about the shark boy you had somehow become friends with. You had learned his name was Jotaro, despite how hard it was to communicate with him. But other than miscommunication most of the time, it was easier to get his attention now. You sighed and laid back, your back popping during the process. You weren't in the best of moods, since the date you had gone on last night went horribly, like always it seemed. You sighed, the guy you had been set up with was relatively nice, though by the end he had royally creeped you out.

"Oh Jotaro, what am I gonna do? I can't be lonely for all of my life, my parents would kick my ass if they knew I had been blowing off everyone I've gone out on a date with." You complained, though you weren't sure he understood it or not. He made a 'hm' noise, one you had translated to him just listening to you and making noise to let you know he was actually still listening. You lowkey liked that about him, he didn't try to interrupt you, make you embarrassed, etc. He actually made you feel like you could tell him anything, though you didn't because you doubted he would understand a lick of it.

You did however, learn he did not like it when you talked about males, specifically Kakyoin or any other potential male partner. Whenever you mentioned them, he would nip at your legs to make you stop. You still sometimes did, just to make him have that jealous look on his face, which made the biting worth it in the end. You had also learned he liked biting you in general, or thats what it seemed like. Whenever you visited him, he would make an effort to see if any other scents were on you, and if there were; bite. Of course, you set boundaries and where he was never able to bite you, which were your chest, your fingers, stomach, upper legs, etc. However you made damn sure he never bit your face or neck, since that would cause you unnecessary drama at the workplace. You never really understood why you kept letting him bite you in the first place.

You stared up at the sky, your thoughts taking your attention away from Jotaro. Your sudden silence didn't go unnoticed as a sudden jab to your side pulled you out of your thoughts. You looked down and glared at the perpetrator, his aquamarine eyes staring back at you, unhappy you had ceased your talking. You raised an eyebrow at him, wondering what was his issue was. He grunted and pulled himself up to be on your stomach, which lowkey hurt but you didn't say anything. His shark skin was rough against your leg's skin as he dragged himself up onto you, but luckily it didn't pull the skin off, only made it more uncomfortable for your legs and stomach.

"What is it Sharkboy?" You asked, semi-jokingly but you knew he wouldn't understand it. He kept staring, which made you slightly embarrassed; what was he staring that had caught his attention so much? You poked his forehead, dragging him out of his inner mind to stare at you, seemingly wanting you to do something. You tilted your head, wondering what he wanted. He grew slightly embarrassed, as his cheeks looked like they were dusted with a fine pink dust, and he grabbed at your hand, his clawed fingers being delicate with you. He allowed you to put it on his head, something he never let you do previously.

"Well aren't you in a good mood.." You muttered sarcastically, still a little salty about the previous night. He made a noise to let you know he heard you, but nonetheless he stayed where he was. You stared at his seemingly peaceful face, his eyes were closed and you would never admit it, but he was kind of cute. Despite looking like one of the most dangerous species, it was a dangerous kind of cute. You decided to test the waters and gently rubbed his scalp, earning you a content sigh from the male. He leaned his head sideways into your stomach, his cheek pressed up against the [insert shirt colour] fabric of the shirt, his arms neatly tucked in beside your sides. You continued to test your luck while you rubbed at his head, your eyes drifting to the star shaped birthmark on his shoulder. You wanted to touch it.

'He wouldn't mind, would he? ..Nah.' You thought to yourself while easing your hand down his head. You knew this was probably a terrible idea, but you were already going through with it. Your fingers left his head before gently touching his birthmark. He grunted, but made no move to stop you. You had sat up at this point, making him slide back down into your lap. You traced the outline of it, making his gills flash open as he sucked in air harshly. You snorted, he had started doing that a week after you had started hanging around him and you still found it both adorable and kind of funny. You had speculated he did it when he was embarrassed or it was just the shark-human equivalent of sucking in air through your nose quickly. He however, didn't find it funny.

"Hey what're you doi- jOTARO nO-" You screamed as he pulled you into the water with him. It was freezing. You were not used to the dark waters that surrounded the land you lived on, and obviously Jotaro didn't know that. You plugged your nose to keep water from entering your lungs, and tried to swim to the surface. He noticed and semi-helped you up to the surface, though it was just him dragging you up with him. Once your head was above the water, you pushed your soaking wet hair out of your face, it acting much like seaweed, semi-slimy and cold. You hugged yourself, shivering as the cold dark waters surrounded you and Jotaro. You felt him pull you into him, which did sort of help, he was quite warm after all.

"W-Why did you p-pull me in?" Your teeth chattered, the warmth seeping out of you while you tried to get back onto the dock, though the male kept trying to pull you back down. You swatted at his hands, which made him make a grumbling noise and allowed you to get back on the dock. You took off your jacket, now sopping wet and heavy with water, and laid it down.

"Crap.. How am I gonna explain how I'm soaking wet? They wouldn't believe me if I said I fell in, I'm too careful for that.." You continued to mutter to yourself, pacing the width of the dock as Jotaro watched you. He didn't understand anything you were doing, but he wanted to. He truly did, but he barely understood anything you ever said to him, and most of the time he seemed disinterested, which made things worse for him. He decided to try and get your attention, the thing he craved so much from you.

"(N.. Name)." He managed to get it out, though it was raspy and soft. You turned around, surprised he actually said your name. You went over to him and tilted your head.

"Yes Jotaro? What is it?" You asked him, it was one of the only phrases he truly understood. He made you get down before he pointed at your lips then at his. It took you a moment to realize what he wanted, a small blush blooming on your face. You know he had seen it from swimming around the island, but you doubted he knew exactly what it was, though you thought maybe his parents had kissed around him, if they kissed down in the ocean. You had a dilemma, either explain what a kiss was or kiss him, though you wouldn't mind the latter he still had teeth and it was probably a trick to bite your face.

"Hey, come one, I can't kiss you." You told him, which earned a huff from the brute. Before you could stand back up, he pulled you down and smashed his lips against yours, you unable to move or process what was happening. He didn't do anything, merely stared into your eyes while you stared back. You eventually regained your senses and pulled away quickly, a rapidly growing blush taking over your features.

"Y-You-" You sputtered, but you couldn't get any other words to leave your mouth. He stared at you smugly, damn him and his handsome face, and that smug look. You got up and covered your mouth before skulking off.

"I-I'll see you tomorrow Jotaro" You told him while you jumped off the dock, landing on the soft sand. You quickly unlocked your car and clambered in, noticing a few missed calls. Most were from Kakyoin, the others from your mother. You decided to talk to your mom first, but all she wanted was where something was in a store. You rolled your eyes while you hung up, and then proceeded to call Kakyoin.

"Hey, what's up?" You asked and turned on the car, your mind still on the 'kiss' Jotaro had given you. You were quickly snapped out of your thoughts as Kakyoin asked the question you both wanted and dreaded.

"Do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow (Name)?"
