"I'm fine, really," Kyo said, attempting to smile a little. "If you want us to hold hands, then I'm okay with it." It wasn't completely a lie. Sure, he was okay with the holding hands thing, but he couldn't help feeling a bit nervous.

Kyo stopped, hugging him. "I don't want to do anything unless you're comfortable with it." He told him softly. They both had to be okay with something before he would do it.

Shaking his head, Kyo closed his eyes as if in thought. "I'm fine, really," he said. "I'm perfectly comfortable with holding hands. If I'm not comfortable, then I'll just get used to it. Simple as that."

Gikishou bit his lip and nodded, taking him to the aquarium. "You don't have to make yourself get used to something. I want you to set the pace and you to let me know when you already are comfortable with it." He said, squeezing his hand gently. "That way I don't make any mistakes, and I can make you as happy as I possibly can." He told him. As long as Kyo was happy, that was all that mattered.

"You already are making me happy," Kyo said, smiling. "Just you being here is enough." Unconsciously, he let his head rest against Giki-san's arm. A sigh of contentment rushed out of his mouth and he stayed there for quite a few moments.

GIkishou smiled and watched him, seeing that he seemed perfectly comfortable like that as they walked. He easily paid the entrance fee for thee two of them and took him inside. Marine animals were everywhere.

For a moment, Kyo was a little confused about where he and Giki-san were, since he hadn't seen any sign. The marine animals that could be seen, however, seemed to hint that this place is an aquarium.

Gikishou smiled. "It's an aquarium. They have nearly everything here. sharks, small fish, large fish, marine mammals, manatees, even animals that live around water and spend half their life in water, like penguins." He explained.

"There are mudskippers here, right?" Kyo asked, his eyes brightening. "I heard they are fish that can walk on land. I think it's amazing how they can stay out of water without flopping."

Gikishou chuckled, nodding and checking their colorful map to find where they would be. "Over by salamanders and newts." He said, leading him there. HE decided that he'd found something that they both enjoyed extensively, which decided where to go tomorrow before the dance: the zoo.

As they walked, Kyo would constantly look around at the many tanks of animals. He had never seen so many of them before, and all in one place. How were people able to keep them? Wasn't it hard to manage every tank at once or something?

Gikishou led him through it all, some workers were cleaning out the shark fish tanks, a dangerous job. You had to trust that the sharks wouldn't eat you while you cleaned the tank. Some could become seriously injured, but apparently they were willing to take the risk.

Kyo has watched, amazed, as there were people cleaning the shark tanks. He was expecting someone to get bitten any moment, but so far nothing had happened. Only very brave people would risk getting eaten just to clean the tank of the sea hunters.

Gikishou smiled. "Some animals actually play and such around sharks after they've eaten. Like otters, they'll actually hang around a great white after it eats because it can go for about two or three weeks without eating, so they're safe." He said. "These tank cleaners have to trust that the sharks won't try to eat them. I hope that thy feed the sharks before cleaning."

"They probably did, or else they wouldn't be cleaning the tank in the first place," Kyo said, still looking at the tank cleaners' progress. "It looks like they're pretty confident that the sharks won't attack them or anything."
