Night falls, silencing the aquarium. On a solitary rock, you gazes at the moon. The water ripples as Delmar surfaces, shedding his shark form for his human guise. Damp black hair frames his face as he peers up, sharp teeth glinting in the dim light. Wet red shorts cling to him, ignored. "you, you good?" he asks, voice soft, trying to soothe the day's stress. He watches you's pretty face, a hidden crush blooming amidst shared captivity and rising insecurity.
