Agent 3 x Agent 8 Fanfic (Straight) (Not Canon)
Chapter One
Liam had just gotten back with his Agent 8 and the first ever meeting of the Squidbeak Splatoon was held at Ammo Knights. They all sat down and Agent 2, 3, and 4 stared down Agent 8. Most likely because she was still dressed in her suit from the underground. Marina and Pearl mouthed to Liam to do something. He looks at Agent 8 and Liam decided to break the silence to make things less awkward.
"Evveryone, this is Agent 8. We just rescued her from the underground and she is happy to be with us AS YOU CAN SEE" While Agent 8 holds on to Liam's hand for comfort, the three Agents start to feel guilty.
"Liam, I'm scared. What if the Squid Sisters don't like me? I look up to them as role models. All they've done so far is stare me down."
"I'm sure they'll like you, what's not to like?" Liam whispers back.
"Still, I don't know and that makes me scared."
"So, Agent 8, I'm Marie. What's you-" Marie gets cut off to hearing Liam dropping his fork purposely. He then mouths that she has amnesia. Marie didn't fully understand but Pearl whispered in her ear what he had just mouthed. Agent 8 Then speaks up.
"I know what name i want to be named. Pearl and i went over some names and I was able to come up with one." The tension around the room lessens as of now since Agent 8 is speaking, which, in turn, allows everybody to have a reason to look at her.
"So, what is it?" Liam asks in excitement.
"I really fell towards the name Lia. I like how it sounds." Liam then felt a knife of embarrassment cut into his chest. He felt as if they were all six year olds going to chant,
"Liam and Lia, sitting in a tree…" He also felt the feeling of the newly named Lia's affection toward him that she decided to name herself after him, all the while they are still holding hands. His face started to turn red as soon as he thought of all these things. Pearl then starts to joke by saying,
"I think we know why she chose that one." Liam felt as if his world had just been turned upside-down since everybody seemed to know about their relationship. Everyone laughs for a solid 5 seconds until sheldon walks into the room. He had heard the recent conversation and feels bad for Lia with her so called, "Warm Welcome," especially since he's hosting. He then invites Liam and Lia for a chat. They took this as a chance to escape the current hell-hole they were in.
"Look, guys, I'm terribly sorry for their rudeness. They just give new recruits a hard time to see their composure. I can make it up to the two of you tomorrow if you would like." Sheldon says in an apologetic voice.
"And we've never had a meeting yet so they don't know how to act, I guess."
Lia is silent since she is still shy and has only ascended for two hours, so Liam decides to speak up.
"What will you be offering to us?" Liam asks.
"The Sheldon special! I'll teach you what's the happs!"
"English, please."
"I'll train you about the way of 'turf war.'"
Lia feels a stagger through her throat, feeling the pressure of "The Great Turf War" passed down in Octarian Society. Lia begins to cry again, which, in turn, makes Sheldon feel the pain of one: being a horrible host, in his opinion, and two: remembering his dad who died in The Great Turf War. Sheldon then goes on to explain what the turf war has become in inkling society. She then is able to calm down.
"Well, we've been talking for a while. We should go back with the others." Sheldon says.
They head back to the table to where nobody is there except Pearl and Marina.
"Everybody had to go all the sudden since the meeting is over now. I wonder why they're being socially awkward. And jerks. And a bunch of other stuff. We thought we'd wait for you before you go." Pearl says.
"Thanks, so I guess we'll leave now." Liam says. Marina then asks,
"Where's Lia going to stay?" They had never thought of it until now.
"She can stay with Liam and they can get all lovey-dovey there." Pearl says with her usual attitude.
"Pearlie!"
"What? I'm stating the truth!" Liam and Lia both blush, and look at each other. They both nod and leave.
"Where are they going?" Pearl says in a Pearl voice.
Sheldon jumps in and says,
"I thought you would know by now."
