“I think I would be a seahorse.”

“What?” You looked up at Yuken, his skin bathed in the cool blues of the aquarium lights. His eyes followed the various saltwater fishes swimming behind the glass wall, his glasses retired to the top of his head.

“I think I’d be a seahorse,” he repeated, pulling his gaze away to look back at you. “If I was a fish, I mean.”

You poked at your chin, ruminating over his statement as you nodded thoughtfully. “I could see that,” you agreed. “What would I be?”

Yuken took a step back and crossed his arms over his chest, squinting his eyes and looking you over as he carefully considered the question. You squirmed at how closely he was looking at you, and he chuckled when he noticed. “Ah,” he mused with a knowing nod. “I know exactly what you’d be.”

“Well?” You pried. “Don’t keep it to yourself. Share with the class.”

“You’d be a mantis shrimp.”

“What? A mantis shrimp?” You raised an eyebrow at him. “What makes you say that?”

“They’re known for being able to pack a punch.”

You thought back to the memory of you and Yuken’s first meeting, and you could feel your face grow hot. Yuken laughed at your reaction, and you elbowed him lightly with a glare. “That’s not fair,” you defended. “You deserved that!”

Yuken took the opportunity to reach down and intertwine his pinky finger with yours. “Yeah, yeah. I know,” he relented, that impish smile never leaving his face. He gave your pinky a light squeeze. “C’mon, the beluga show’s about to start.”
