Cole was swimming in the waters off of the Dark Island, needing to just get away from everything and relax. He was just floating, mostly diving underneath the waves. After around half an hour, Cole decided to go back to the shore. While swimming back, a large octopus grabbed Cole by the leg, and pulled him under. Cole kept struggling, but was slowly losing consciousness. The last thing he sees before darkness is a (f/c) tail hitting the tentacle holding him captive.
(Y/n) watches the human carefully, brushing a piece of her (y/h) hair behind her ear. The human, Cole, hasn't moved for over a hour, and (y/n) was starting to get worried. She's tried every method, from yelling wake up to CPR, as most two-legs call it. Then, Cole started coughing. Cole opens his eyes, groaning slightly. He coughs again, getting all salt water out of his lungs. His sight is fuzzy, but then a very concerned girl with (y/e) eyes came into view. Cole sits up, blinks a few times, and all is silent...for a bit. Then, (y/n) exploded.
"What were you thinking?! You humans tend to do stupid things, but that was straight up insane! You-you could have died! You scared me, too!" (Y/n) whimpers in the end, hugging Cole tightly. For some reason, the point that Cole could've drowned bothered (y/n). Cole, meanwhile, was blushing at the fact that a girl wearing very little was hugging him. That was the moment Cole realized (y/n) had said 'you humans'.
"Wait, are you meaning you aren't human?" Cole asks. In response, (y/n) lifts her (f/c) tail up slightly.
"Do I look human to you, sir?" (Y/n) says in a slightly sarcastic voice. Cole shakes his head no, then coughs slightly again. When he tries to get up, (y/n) pulls him back down. "You are not going anywhere. I watched you almost drown, so you are staying here until you are better." (Y/n) explains in a motherly tone. Cole frowns a bit.
"Listen, my friends will be looking for me. As much as it would be nice to stay, I-" Cole tries to explain, but gets cut off by more coughing. (Y/n) just smiles slightly.
"I could care less. Once your better, you can go back to your friends. Until then, you, are stuck, with me." (Y/n) teases slightly, giggling. Cole laughs along.
"Well, I'd better introduce myself. My name is Cole." Cole holds a hand out to (y/n), who gently takes it.
"My name is (y/n). Nice to meet you, Cole."
