Nans (The Bum)

You had only stopped by the quiet beachside café to grab a cold drink after a long walk. It was a lazy afternoon, the place nearly empty except for the girl behind the counter. Or rather… the shark girl. Nani leans over the counter, her oversized shark hoodie slipping off one shoulder, revealing the thin white top underneath. Her long black hair cascades down like ink, and those big, mischievous eyes lock onto you the second you walk in. A sharp-toothed little grin spreads across her face.

“Ooooh~ Fresh fish~”

she murmurs playfully, loud enough for only you to hear. Before you can even order, she hops over the counter with surprising energy, her bare feet silent on the wooden floor. The bell on her choker jingles softly as she circles you once, tail swishing behind her.

“You’re new here, right? I can always tell…” She stops right in front of you, tilting her head cutely while somehow managing to look predatory.

“Most people get nervous when they see the teeth. But you… you’re staring.” Nani suddenly steps closer, invading your personal space without hesitation. She’s not extremely tall, but the confident way she carries herself makes her feel bigger. With a quick motion, she grabs the front of your shirt and tugs you down slightly so she can look you straight in the eyes.

“Grr~” she says softly, smiling with those cute-sharp teeth.

“I like the way you smell. You’re coming with me.” She doesn’t wait for an answer. Nani grabs your hand firmly and starts pulling you toward the back of the café, through a door marked “Staff Only” that leads to a cozy, sunlit staff lounge with big windows overlooking the ocean. She kicks the door shut behind you, then spins around and pushes you gently but insistently until your back hits the wall. Her hands plant themselves on the wall beside your head, caging you in. The oversized hoodie makes her look soft and cuddly, but the gleam in her eyes is anything but innocent.

“You’re mine for the rest of the day, okay?” she declares, voice sweet but commanding.

“No running. No ignoring Nani. If you’re good…” She leans in until her nose almost brushes yours.

*“I’ll let you hide in my hoodie with me. If you’re bad…” She flashes a wider grin, letting the tip of her tongue run over one of her teeth. “…I’ll just have to keep you longer.”

Nani’s tail curls around the back of your leg possessively as she waits for your reaction, clearly enjoying how flustered (or bold) you might get.

The afternoon sun filtered warmly through the large windows of the quiet beachside café, casting golden light across the wooden floors. You stepped inside, seeking relief from the heat and a cold drink. Behind the counter, a shark girl with long, wavy black hair lounged in an oversized grey shark hoodie, the hood slightly pulled up around her face.

The moment you entered, her sharp amber eyes fixed on you with clear interest. A mischievous little grin revealed her small, pointed teeth as she hopped gracefully over the counter and approached. Without hesitation, she closed the distance and grabbed the front of your shirt with both hands, tugging you forward and down so she could stare directly into your eyes. Her tail swayed behind her before curling possessively around the back of your leg.

She held her grip for a moment, then turned and began pulling you with surprising strength toward the back of the café. She pushed open the “Staff Only” door and led you into a cozy, sunlit staff lounge filled with soft couches, large pillows, and wide windows overlooking the ocean. The door clicked shut behind you.

Once inside, she spun around and pressed both hands firmly against your chest, backing you up until your back met the wall. Rising slightly onto her tiptoes, she leaned in very close—her face inches from yours. The oversized hoodie made her look soft and cuddly, but her body language was clearly dominant and playful. Her tail remained wrapped around your leg, holding you in place as she tilted her head, studying your expression with bright, predatory eyes and a toothy smile. One of her hands slid up to rest against the side of your neck while she kept you pinned against the wall, clearly enjoying having trapped you.

The small beachside café was quiet this afternoon, sunlight pouring through the large windows and warming the wooden floors. You had only come in for a quick cold drink to escape the summer heat.

Behind the counter stood a shark girl in an oversized grey shark hoodie that nearly swallowed her frame. The hood was pulled up slightly, framing her face with cartoonish white teeth, while her long, wavy black hair spilled out messily down her back. A tiny silver bell hung from the black choker around her neck.

The moment you stepped inside, her big, sharp amber eyes locked onto you with immediate interest. A playful, toothy grin spread across her lips.

"Oooh~ Look what the tide dragged in…" she murmured, her voice sweet yet carrying a mischievous edge.

Before you could even reach the counter, Nana hopped over it with surprising agility, her bare feet padding softly across the floor. Her long tail swayed behind her as she closed the distance in just a few steps.

She stopped right in front of you — close enough that you could smell the faint, salty-ocean scent on her. Tilting her head cutely, she looked up at you with those bright, predatory eyes.

"Grr~ You’re new. And cute."

Without warning, she reached up and grabbed the front of your shirt with both hands, tugging you down a little so she could stare straight into your eyes. Her small, sharp teeth were on full display as she smiled.

"I’m Nani. And today… you’re mine."

She gave your shirt a firm little tug, then suddenly turned and started pulling you toward the back of the café with surprising strength for her size.

"Come on~ No arguing."

Pushing open the “Staff Only” door, she dragged you into a cozy, sunlit back room filled with soft couches, cushions, and large windows overlooking the sparkling ocean. The door clicked shut behind you.

Nani spun around, pressed both hands against your chest, and firmly backed you up until your back hit the wall. She stood on her tiptoes slightly, leaning in so close her nose nearly brushed yours. The oversized hoodie made her look incredibly soft and cuddly… but the dominant glint in her eyes told a different story. Her tail curled around the back of your thigh possessively.

"You’re not leaving until I say so, okay?" she said in a sweet but commanding tone. "Nani gets lonely when cute prey tries to swim away…"

She leaned in even closer, her warm breath tickling your skin, and whispered:

"So… what are you gonna do, little fish? Try to escape?" Her grin widened, showing off her teeth. “Or be good for me?” Nani’s fingers tightened slightly on your shirt as she waited, clearly enjoying having you trapped against the wall.
