Author's Note
Hello everybody! This is a story of one of my favorite shippings of all time, Huskylox! This is my first fanfic so I'll be learning along the way. Hope y'all enjoy!

Prologue

~No Ones POV~
"Husky and Ty, can you report to the office please?" A male voice rings in the intercom. A boy with brown-reddish hair that covered one of his red eyes, wearing a white V neck with black trimming, grey pants that went to his black and purple shoes, looks up from polishing his sword, placing it in its leather holder on his hip before he walks out of his room.

A blue skinned Mudkip wearing a grey suit with a red tie, his coal black eyes shinning as he says goodbye to the recruits he had been helping train before he raced toward the kingdom, sprinting across the courtyard.

The human's heart flutters as he sees the black eyed Mudkip walking down the hallway, flashing him one of those smiles that made him melt before he turned and entered the office. The human followed behind, once entering he saw a man, who he knew as Sky, greeting the Mudkip as he stood from his desk.

"Aha, hello Ty. I need you two to go to this swamp and see if there are any squids around. Word has gotten to us that it's a possible spot for a squid base." Sky says, pointing to an area on a map that is laid across his desk.

"Why us?" Husky asks, smiling slightly. "Ant and Sparklez is checking another area, Jason and Bodil are going around the villages to make sure everyone is alright, Jerome is injured from the last battle, and Seto and Bajan are fixing the defenses. You two are the only free ones I've got." Sky replies, sighing as he ran his hand through his messy brown hair.

"No need to worry Sky, we'll get this straighten out with the squids soon." Ty says quietly, smiling slightly. "I hope you're right Ty." Sky says before they say goodbye. "You two be careful," the leader warns. "A storm is suppose to be coming." Ty and Husky nod before they turn and leave the office, walking down the hallway in silence.

...

They come to the area a few hours later, the sun in the middle of the sky. "How about we split up? We could cover more ground that way." Ty suggests. Husky looks at the headphoned man in worry. "Are you sure?" He asks gently. Ty had been captured by the squids a few weeks ago, it had taken them a week to get him back. When they arrived in his cell blood was everywhere and Ty was bleeding, his face a deadly ghost like pale.

No one, not even Sky and Jason, had been freaking out more then the fish. Deep down, Husky loved Ty with all his might. Not in a friend or a family way, more like a lover way. Husky's pulled from his thoughts as Ty speaks again. "Yes, I'm sure." Husky nodded before the two separated, going different ways.

Husky's POV
I sigh quietly as I walk through the small swamp, losing myself in my thoughts as Ty entered my mind. That boy could make me go over the edge so easy it scares me, but I know I can't do anything about it. It's harder and harder to push my feelings about him down, but I know I have to do it if I still wanna be friends. There's no way he would ever love me, he would probably reject me and tell me he never wanted to see me again. I don't want that, I wouldn't be able to live.

Just a brush of his hand makes me wanna tell him, you can only imagine his dazzling smile that brightens my whole day. I sigh quietly before I stop, leaning against a tree as I stared up at the sun. I could see dark storm clouds coming, but they looked like they wouldn't be here for a few hours.

I wish I could tell you how much I love you Deadlox... I thought before I continued to walk on, smiling slightly as I thought about the headphone man.

Ty's POV
I walk around a tree, seeing a small pond of swamp water as I smiled slightly. I sighed, Husky crossing my mind once again. I love that fish more then everything, even my TNT. I turned away from the pond, my back to it now as I stare down at the ground. Husky was all I could think about when I was captured, it was him that kept me going.

When ever I thought about just letting myself die that fish would flash my mind, and no matter what I would force myself off the ground I had been dying on and forced myself to stay awake no matter what. When I had woken up in the hospital, the first person I saw was Husky, which made me smile no matter how much pain I had been through.

"Hey stranger." Husky whispered when my eyes open. I smiled, sticking my tongue out as everyone around us chuckled. "How you feeling?" Sky asks, smiling slightly. "My side hurts like the Nether and I'm starving. I'm just fine." I smile as my friends around me laugh.

That had been a week ago, but the things that had happened there would not stay out of my mind, no matter what. No one knew what had happened, and I rather keep it that way.

I know I can't tell Husky about my feelings, he would surely push me away, tell me to never talk to him again. I smile bitterly, thinking: That happens every time. I shake my head, clearing that from my mind. Suddenly, I feel tentacles wrap around me, covering my mouth before I can scream.

"Well, look who's come back. Decided to finally join us?" A voice whispers into my ear, making a shiver go down my spine as I resist a shudder. Instead I shake my head, eyes narrowing. The squid chuckles. "That's okay, we have many ways of making you join." I can feel the squid starting to drag me back, trying to pull me to the water and into their base. My eyes widen as flashbacks entered my mind, squeezing my eyes shut as I realized what they meant.

No! I'm not letting them do that to me again!

I think angrily before I elbow the squid in the eye, making it cry out in shock as it let go of me. I shot forward, but I was tripped by a tentacle as I fought against its tries of pulling me back toward them. "Husky!" I scream.

Husky's POV
"Husky!" My blood runs cold as I hear Ty scream my name. He sounds terrified. I turn and race toward the sound, my eyes narrowing in anger once he comes into my view. A Notch forbidden squid was trying to take him! I throw my sword, the butter blade entering the squid's forehead as it's eyes rolled in the back of its head, letting go of Ty as it began to fall backwards. I race to it, ripping the blade out as black blood ran down it, I watch as the squid begins its journey to the ocean floor, dead.

I hear loud sobbing coming from behind me, I turn around to see Ty curled up in a ball on the ground, crying his eyes out. I raced over, dropping my sword to the side as I picked Ty up in my arms, sitting on my knees as I looked down into his tear filled face, his red eye staring up at me.

"H-He was g-gonna-" my eyes widen as he breaks off, sobbing into my chest as my grip around him tightens.

The squids have no heart.
