Love Me, Love Me Not. (Reserved/Mature)

"yeah, but to do that i want to be closer so you" he looked at her then took her hands keeping eye contact "and i've wanted to say that for a while now."

Olive stopped following the octopus, blushing. She looked up at him, raising her brow. "..We do?" She asked, curious and confused.

he smiled watching her "well, the thing is, first you and i need to live together" he turned dark red and bit his lip

"We can all live together. You, the octopus, and I. We'll be a family." She followed it as it moved, smiling brightly. "You lift me up, and I'll pull you in. They'll never get us out." She looked up at him, bright eyes shining. "Humans can breathe in water, right?"

He watched her go at first then laughed as he walked up next to her "i'd prefer to not get kick out of my favorite zoo" he chuckled then watched it move about.

She looked up at him, smiling softly. When they entered the aquarium, she spotted the octopus right off the bat. With a gasp, she let go of him and darted to the tank. "Zarren, you're tall. You should boost me up. I want to join him."

He smiled softly with a chuckle "that sound like alot of fun, especially with you" he blushed some. They had added a tank to touch some safe animals and had added a octopus enclosure.

"I dunno. I haven't gone in there since we last came together..." She looked aside. "It didn't feel right to go in alone." She pursed her lips, then shook her head. "But we'll find out, right? It'll be a surprise!"

"oh your right" he hummed as he spoke "Do you know if they added anything new?" he seemed a little excited to see this place again and in a good mood. They had while he was gone, but it wasn't too recently.

She stopped humming and just listened. She was FAR too shy to sing aloud. Hell, she'd known him for so long, and she was still nervous to sing infront of him.  Maybe it had something to do with him being a professional. Maybe she didn't want him to think less of her.

Up ahead, she spotted the aquarium. "We're almost there!~"

He noticed and smiled some, actually singing the song softly so not to bother others around them. he still looked for a perfect spot and moment in the back of his mind.

She smiled, listening to him. She loved hearing him sing. It was one of the things she missed most about him being gone for so long. She recognized the tune, and hummed along with him, smiling and resting her head on his arm.

"yeah, that sounds great." he smiled softly then enjoyed how close they were at the moment. Then began to lead them there with a small hum of a song.

"RIght, right." She giggled. "Do you wanna stop by the aquarium? It's on the way to the bird sanctuary." She looked up at him, linking her arm with his, smiling sweetly.

"i'm with seeing what you like, and your remember my favorite anyway." he smiled "the small aquarium was were you found me alot, especially with my band blues."

She nodded happily. "Right, okay." She looked at the map. "Hm...What do you wanna go see?" She shifted her focus to him, holding her hands behind her back as she rocked back and forth on her heels. "I don't want this to just be about the animals I wanna see. What's your favourite?" She tilted her head slightly.

He thought on it "it might work" he thought, then looked to her "we can go it, after we see a few more animals around here. Best to see as many as we can." he smiled more. He was eager but needed the day to be fun and good. Also he wasn't sure how to get the job done, in a way it would be successful.

She thought on it for a moment, and then pointed a good spot on the map. "There's a giant tree right in the middle of the zoo. It's got a hollow center, and you can walk through it to get to the bird exhibit. It's like a little tunnel sorta, y'know?" She looked up at him.

He blushed "looking for a nice spot" he thought maybe she would know one and it would be to the standards of his mind.

She blushed, smiling up at him. "Aw, thanks." She giggled, looking at the map. "Whatcha doin'?" She leaned against his side curiously.

When she turned to him he was struck speechless and just smiled "you look nice today" he looked at the map carelessly looking for the perfect spot.

"Yeah?" She peeked up at him over her shoulder, her green eyes wide. She wasn't completely oblivious about his strange behaviour, she thought it was quite cute, but she didn't understand why he was acting that way.

He smiles happily and let her lead him. He looked at her not paying mind to the world around him. "hey Olive" he voice was melted like butter and a love sick boy.

Olive bit her lip slightly, nodding. She smiled softly, grabbing his hand instinctively. "I'd love to. C'mon.~" She grinned, tugging at his hand as she began to walk towards the petting zoo.

He smile "wanna go there?" he looked down at her hand slightly then back up to her, his heart raced some. He started to look nervous clearly but a happy nervous.
