🦈 Akuma 🦈

Akuma grew up with everything they needed. Loved ones, and everything to comfort. Plushies, blankets. Anything they needed to be happy, her parents got. It always seemed to be dinosaur-themed. But she wasn't too fond of them. Not until she got a small soft shark comfort blanket.

Akuma fell in LOVE with the tiny cartoon sharks and brought it everywhere she went. Not caring if anyone gave looks. Cause why would a young kid like her care at all? Her parents kept getting her shark-related things. And even some other ocean animal things. Whales were by far a close second favorite animal. She loved how big and majestic they were. This is what brought her interest in marine biology.

She kept getting asked what she would like to be when she grew up. She responded with a confident cheerful tone, "Marine Biologist!!" It wasn't a bad choice. She loved sea creatures and wanted to learn more about them, and help.

Fast forward 10 years later. She still pursues her interest in marine biology. Loving all marine life.

However, there was one thing that was brought up as worry. She had a passion for marine life. But was terribly scared of deep bodies of water. She would often swim in their pool but never go in the deep end. With enough practice, she became more comfortable. However, the thought of the deep sea scared her and made her deeply uncomfortable whenever it was brought up.

Maybe one day she can conquer that fear. But for now, it's an intense fear.

School was a fun place to go to. She was able to meet new people and make new friends. She isn't the most talkative but will talk if needed. There were definitely a wide variety of characters and personality at the school, but everything ran smoothly.

The school bell rang. It was the last bell of the day, which meant it was time to go home! She walked out of class after returning everything to her backpack. Walked out of class, with a small shark keychain knocking back and forth as she walked.

When she was walking to her school bus, she was met by a rather short girl. She'd seen her around sometimes but just thought she was another kid. But she noticed something in her hand. The girl said "Hi", handed the piece of paper, and ran away. She looked a bit embarrassed. Which she thought was pretty cute. She stood there for another few seconds. Watching as the girl ran away, and looking down at the paper. She walked up to the bus and took her seat.

Opening the paper, she noticed numbers. It took a second or two to realize, that it was her phone number. She smirked, giving out a small chuckle. Thinking it was the cutest thing. So she entered the number into her phone and texted, "Hi goof".

From then on, Akuma met Anias at lunch. Sharing stories and experiences. Making each other laugh, giggle, and happier. One day. Akuma opened her backpack on the table for a second time. First time grabbing their lunch. She pulled out a stuffed animal for Anias. Since she knew Anias LOVED her stuffies. So why not add to her collection? It made Akuma the happiest seeing Anias jump in excitement. As she received a hug from Anias.

Knowing this would be the perfect relationship.
