The Octonaut humans decide to take a vacation. so they rent four hotel rooms : Inkling and Shellington, Barnacles and Kwazii, Tweak and Dashi, and Tunip and the Vegimals. They decide to go exploring the human world one night and end up at nightclubs. while they do have the original Gups, they have new land gups too. all look like cars, except Kwazii's cause we all know he's different and he'd totally drive a motorcycle.
"this 'clubbing' is a very strange ritual..." Shellington said.
"Kwazii seems to enjoy the dancing." Inkling said.
"Oh! Thats what they're doing!" Peso exclaimed. Kwazii, picking up on the 'dancing' other men were doing, was brake dancing and had almost the entire clubs attention. Barnacles was across the club looking very uncomfortable as several women tried to dance with him.
"poor Captain." Shellington said.
"I'll go save him." Dashi laughed. she managed to dance her way over to him. "need some help sir?" Dashi ask.
"yes please." Barnacles replied. Dashi chuckled.
"alright you guys, he's gay." Dashi said. the women frowned and backed off.
"do you have to tell everyone?" Barnacles ask.
"it was the only way to get rid of them. have you seen Kwazii? he's like the master of the dance floor!" Dashi exclaimed. Barnacles looked over.
"how does he dance like that?" Barnacles ask. Dashi handed him the drink she was holding for Kwazii.
"he kocked back about six of these." Dashi said. Barnacles sniffed.
"taquilla?" Barnacles ask.
"and something else that I have no idea what it is." Dashi said. "go ahead, try it, it's disgusting!" Dashi added. Barnacles grimanced.
"oh well, buttons up I guess..." Barnacles mumbled. he made a face one he downed it and gagged.
"what the hell?! how does he drink this?" Barnacles ask.
"after about the third one, it's not really that bad." Dashi said. Barnacles shook his head.
"i'll stick to beer and whiskey." Barnacles muttered taking a swig of his beer. Dashi shrugged.
"whatever floats your boat." Dashi replied. she managed Shellington on the floor. Peso ventured out, inkling stayed at the bar. Kwazii laughed and managed to get to a seat, ironically right beside Barnacles.
"having fun?" Barnacles ask.
"ye bet I am! what 'bout ye?" Kwazii ask. Barnacles made a face at the smell of his breath.
"oh my! what the hell are you drinking?!" Barnacles exclaimed. Kwazii shrugged.
"a little of this and a little of that." Kwazii replied. "we should dance!" Kwazii exclaimed.
"Kwazii, I don't break dance." Barnacles said. "I might actually break something." Barnacles added. before he could say anything else, Kwazii grabbed his hand and drug him to the gay bar next door. "Kwazii! this is a gay bar!" Barnacles exclaimed. Kwazii looked at him with hazey green eye's.
"yeah so?" Kwazii ask.
"aren't you afraid to be seen here? your not gay." Barnacles said. Barnacles could still get him to answer questions, so Kwazii couldn't be too drunk.
"who told ye that? I'm gayer than... gayer than..." Kwazii paused to think. "a gay man!" Kwazii exclaimed. nope, he was gone. Barnacles shook his head.
"your too drunk to think clearly." Barnacles said. he turned his head and saw Kwazii bringing him a beer.
"and ye ain't drunk 'nough to have fun Cap! loosen up!" Kwazii laughed. Barnacles sighed, maybe he should loosen up. he took the beer from Kwazii and took a sip. he spit it back out.
"what did you do to my favorite drink?!" Barnacles exclaimed.
"taquilla." Kwazii replied with a 'far out' look on his face. for some reason he leaned forward and pressed his lips to the captains. Barnacles stiffened but slowly melted into it and kissed back softly. suddenly Kwazii's eye's widened and he pushed him back with a nervous look. "Captain! I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" Kwazii exclaimed. the foggy look had been lifted. Kwazii turned and ran.
"Kwazii!"Barnacles exclaimed. Barnacles made it outside in time to see Kwazii take off on his motorcycle. Barnacles, ignoring his better judgement, hopped in to his vehicle and drove after Kwazii. Kwazii found himself at the park. he drunkly stumbled around. he heard a car pull up and turned around.
"look, Cap, I told ye I was sorry." Kwazii slurred. a tall dark figure got out of the car and Kwazii squinted. it wasn't his Captain. "ye ain't me captain... who are ye?" Kwazii ask. the figure jumped at him and Kwazii, though in a drunk haze, had the brains to know he needed to move. he dove out of the way and turned over now on his butt. the tall figure loomed over him and Kwazii backed up untill he reached a tree. they all had the fortune to look twenty-one except Peso and Kwazii, who both looked no older then sixteen in the right light. Kwazii's orange hair fell down over his face and he flintched when the stranger moved it back behind his ear.
"well aren't you lovely?" the scotish voice purred. Kwazii fumbled for his knife but the stranger grabed his wrist.
"h-hey! let go!" Kwazii slurred. he struggled but was no match for the stranger.
*twenty minutes later*
Barnacles arrived and noticed Kwazii's motorcycle parked.
"Kwazii!" Barnacles exclaimed. he heard a whimper and followed it. "Kwazii I just want to-" Barnacles stopped. he gasp and took his jacket off running over to him. he placed it gently over the naked and wounded man, then pulled out his cell phone and dialed 911. Kwazii's eye fluttered opened and he whimpered, his other eye too swollen to open. Barnacles pulled out his pocket knife to cut the restraints off Kwazii's wrists and feet and the gag out of his mouth, but Kwazii started to struggle and scream and even cry at the sight of it. "it's ok Kwazii, I won't hurt you." Barnacles said softly. Kwazii's plea's slowly stopped as he fell unconcious. Barnacles quickly cut him free as the ambulance arrived. "I-I have to go with him." Barnacles said.
"we will talk to you at the hospital." the police said.
"th-thats his motorcycle, can I get some help getting it into the back of my truck? Kwazii ha-hates it when people mess with is bike." Barnacles said. the officer nodded and they loaded the motorcycle up. Barnacles called the others on the way to the hospital and they waited at the hotel room's for information. Barnacles sat by Kwazii's bed side waiting for him to wake up. he was bandaged everywhere. Kwazii whimpered as he came too. Barnacles stood up. "Kwazii." Barnacles said. Kwazii tensed and opened his eye.
"C-Cap?" Kwazii whimper horsely. "p-please tell me i-it was jus' a dream." Kwazii whimpered his cat ears lowering. Barnacles bit his lip.
"I found you on the grass at the park. pased out and beaten and naked." Barnacles said softly. tears welled up in Kwazii's eye's. "I need all the details you can give me on the person who attacked you." Barnacles said. Kwazii shook his head not wanting to speak. he sobbed softly and Barnacles rested a hand on his shoulder. Kwazii jumped away from him and whimpered in pain, before latching onto his waste and sobbing into his middle. Barnacles was shocked for a moment before he held Kwazii. Kwazii eventually calmed down.
"he was taller then ye and he was dark." Kwazii whimpered. "h-he had these piercing green eye's and a tattoo of a s-spider on his fists." Kwazii added. Barnacles nodded his head and wrote everything he said down.
"anything else you can remember Kwazii?" Barnacles ask softly.
"h-he had an accent loike Shellington's b-but thicker. hi-his hair w-was green." Kwazii said. "h-he seemed facinated tha-that I used to b-be an animal. h-he kept biting my ears." Kwazii whined. Barnacles patted his back. "an... an he had a tattoo on his..." Kwazii started sobbing again and Barnacles sighed softly writing down the answers Kwazii gave him.
"do you know of what?" Barnacles ask.
"I don' wanna do this any more!" Kwazii exclaimed his blood pressure was rising to dangerous levels.
"this is the last question I promise Kwazii." Barnacles said softly. Kwazii shook his head. "come on it's ok. this is that last question." Barnacles said. Kwazii sniffled.
"h-he had a tattoo that said 'fuck ye' a-above his pant line... a-an he had a fist on his hips." Kwazii said. he swollowed hard. "i-it was a middle finger." Kwazii whimpered. Barnacles wrote it down quickly and stuffed it into his pocket. he made a move to leave and Kwazii tightened his grip. "p-please don' leave me Cap." Kwazii begged looking up at him with his bright yellow-green eye's, though his left eye was parcially swollen shut. Barnacles nodded his head.
"ok I won't leave Kwazii." Barnacles said. wanting to pull the conversation in another direction. "Kwazii... why... why'd you kiss me?" Barnacles ask softly. Kwazii froze and his ears lowered.
"I-I was drunk." Kwazii replied. Barnacles shook his head.
"I've seen you drunk before, you were a pirate long enough for that to just be a wicked buzz." Barnacles said.
"I... I didn't mean t-to offened ye sir." Kwazii said. Barnacles hugged him tighter.
"you didn't offened me." Barnacles replied. "do remember the kiss?" Barnacles ask.
"a-a little." Kwazii replied. "h-he hit me on the head hard." Kwazii replied.
"I kissed you back. I just want to know why you kissed me in the first place." Barnacles said. Kwazii didn't reply and Barnacles knelt gently and kissed him softly. Kwazii jumped and jerked at first but then kissed him back. Kwazii pulled back and nuzzled his face into his captains T-shirt.
"I-I love ye." Kwazii whimpered.
"I love you too Kwazii." Barnacles smiled. Kwazii looked up at him confused.
"e-even though I was attacked?" Kwazii ask. Barnacles nodded.
