"Did you know that female sharks have thicker skin than male ones?" he commented, watching the shark lazily glide through the water "Don't ask me why I know that, it's one of those useless pieces of info I had stored away." of course he also knew sharks had cavity resistant teeth, but that may be a bit too much knowledge for him to simply brush off as something random.

"I didn't know that." Elijah said then looked to Allen. "You seem to really like sharks huh?" he said to him with a smile then looked back to the shark swimming through the water. "They are pretty cool."

"It was just a random fact." Allen replied, cheeks lighting up light. Elijah seemed to know he was lying. Not lying really, but not telling all he knew.

Elijah looked back at him and noticed the slight blush on his cheeks "You don't need to get all embarrassed just because you like something." he said to him with a smile then stepped away from the glass of the tank. "Come on, lets keep walking." he said to him then continued to walk through the aquarium.

Grateful the topic had been dropped he followed Elijah. Another group of kids ran by and Allen could only assume it must be a school trip or something. A lot of the kids didn't have parent's with them and no wise grownup would leave kids to their own devices. Sighing he sidestepped to avoid one and pressed into Elijah.

Elijah blushed a tiny bit when Allen pressed into him. He moved away from him slightly, creating a little bit of space between them. "So how much time do we have left before the show?" he asked him as he continued to look around at all the animals.

"Hmm, it looks like it will start in 20-ish minutes. We can go and get a good seat now if you want to." there was a map on the back that would lead them to the right area.

"Yeah, let's go now and maybe we can get a spot in the front row." Elijah said to him then started to make his way to the area where the show was.

They entered the area and chose seats close to the front of the room. There was a darkened tank in front of them. In the room there were a few other people but they seemed to be some of the first.

Elijah sat down beside Allen and looked at the tank in front of them. "The jellyfish must be in there." he said as he leaned forward slightly and peered into the tank.

"They must be saving whatever they had planned for when everyone gets here. It's thought provoking. You know, building up to something bigger. It must be impressive." he was still skeptical. Jellyfish were blobs of gross and could kill you. Well, kill humans. He had never tested his metal against one and wasn't really planning to.

Elijah nodded then leaned back in his seat and looked to Allen. "Well the aquarium has been fun so far, I'm sure this show won't let us down." he said then looked back to the tank. "And once the show is over maybe we can go get some souvenirs from the gift shop." he suggested to him with a smile.

"Good idea. We can get something to commemorate our visit. I personally want a stuffed animal shark." he was only half joking. More people flooded in and it looked like the show would start soon.

Elijah smiled at him. "A stuffed animal sounds like a nice souvenir." he said to him then glanced around. "I think the show is started soon."

As if on que the lights in the room darkened. "Thank you so much for coming to the opening of this new aquarium!" a lady in nice clothing walking onto the stage, microphone in hand "We hope that this will stand for years to come. We have a special show today folks, as a special thanks for coming in on our first day." she waved her arm to the dark tank and it suddenly lit up. Inside were hundreds of jellyfish. They radiated a blue light, together they changed colors though from red to even green. There was an awe in the room.
Allens eyes widened at the sight. So many creatures together like that was amazing. He watched with a slightly dumbfounded face.

Elijah smiled and watched in awe as they tank lit up in all different colors. "This is amazing." he muttered as he continued to watch the show. It was so amazing and relaxing to see as all the jellyfish moved together.

Allen glanced over to Elijah and let out a small breath. Elijah looked completely enraptured in the show. He huffed softly and found himself watching the human more than the jellyfish. Tearing away his eyes he tried to focus back on the show.

Elijah continued to watch the jellyfish as they swirled around tank, not noticing as Allen watched him. The show eventually ended and the lights within the tank shut off. "That was so cool." he said as he looked to Allen.

Allen was nearly caught staring. He coughed into his hand and grinned "Yeah, definitely more so than I thought." he stood and stretched. That lady that was on the stage before was bidding them a goodbye and another thanks.

Elijah stood up from his seat. "Now let's go pick out some souvenirs." he said then started to walk out of the show room and off to the gift shop. The aquarium sure was a lot more fun than he originally thought it would be.

In the shop there were snow globes, stuffed animals, figurines, and plenty more marine based items. Allen found himself the shark plushie and was deciding between a hammerhead and a great white one.

Elijah walked into the gift shop and decided on getting a baseball hat with the aquarium logo on it and a sea turtle plushie for himself. He then walked over to Allen. "If you are trying to decide between the two I say get the great white." he said with a smile as he stood beside him.

"I think that's a good idea." Allen nodded and placed the hammerhead plushie back on it's shelf. He held the great white on in his hands and pulled gently at it's fins. It was adorable. Not that he would say it out loud. He walked to the counter and got the items rung up "I brought you here so I'll pay." he took the items from Elijahs hands as well.

(By the way spark, I like your new icon c: )
Elijah followed him over to the checkout counter. "Oh, you don't have to pay for my things, I can pay for myself." he said to him, it was nice if him to offer but he already paid for the tickets he didn't have to pay fir his souvenirs as well.

Thanks :3 Tbh I love yours as well. Keith is my fav!)
"Too late. They're already paid for." he handed Elijah his plushie and placed the hat on his head. His own plushie was in his other hand. Stuffing his wallet back into his pocket he grabbed Elijahs free hand to pull him out of the store before he decided to pay him back or something.

(Oikawa is one of my faves from haikyuu, and I like Tsukki as well.)
Elijah held the plushie in his one hand and was going to reach up and fix the hat, but Allen stopped him as he started to pull him out of the store. He followed after him, but he really didn't have a choice not to follow him as he pulled him along.

Same! They are both in my top favs. Yamaguchi and Suga are up there as well! Though Akaashi is also really cool. I think I have a thing for setters lol)
Allen didn't release his hand as they walked out of the aquarium. It didn't really register in his mind as they walked out into the fresh air. It was later in the day, the trip had taken a couple hours.

(I mean tbh, all the characters in haikyuu are pretty great.)
Elijah followed him out of the aquarium and looked around before looking to Allen. Even though the vampire didn't notice, he did notice how the two of them were basically holding hands. A slight blush rose to his cheeks, he better say something before it gets awkward. "Um Allen, my hand..." he said to him unsure of what exactly what to say to get him to release his hand.

It's a blessing and a curse. You love all the characters but only one team can win XD)
Allen quickly let go and took a step back "Oh sorry." his face most likely matched Elijahs "Guess I was eager to get moving. After all it looks like we missed the rush." the absence of his hand was much more prominent than it should be. He was almost too disappointed that Elijah had taken it away. Almost. Totally not really disappointed.

So true cx )
Elijah took his hand back then looked down at his feet. He almost kind of liked holding Allen's hand, but he wouldn't admit that. "How about we stop and get me something to eat and then we can go back to my apartment?" he suggested to him. He figured Allen might be a little hungry so he would want to go back to his apartment with him.
