WARNING: short but spicy make out scene along with some sexual references!
"YOU'RE INVITED TO MY BIG BIRTHDAY BASH! 7PM TONIGHT! AT NEW ALBACORE HOTEL! DRESS FANCY! ARMY YOU'RE REQUIRED TO COME OR ELSE!" cheered Aloha in a video he sent the group chat with literally everyone in it.
"Yay!" cheered Goggles and Bobble Hat. "Let's go dress shopping, my sunshine." smiled Headphones to Bobble. "What about us?! We need suits!" sighed Specs. "Bobble and I wanted to make this a date." replied Headphones, sympathetically. "It's okay Specs! We can go together!" grinned Goggles, shortly before someone rang the doorbell.
"Hi, is Goggles free? I wanted to go shopping with him." asked Hachi. "I am!" smiled Goggles. "Sorry Specs, maybe Emperor will join you!" he said, happily waving as he ran off with Hachi. Specs fell to the ground. "Forever alone."
Meanwhile, Rider finished drinking his coffee for the morning. "Cod, did I really agree to that?" he asked himself, referring to last night's events. "The hell did he mean by that anyway? Knowing Gloves, he probably just needed a friend with benefits. Our feud goes way too far back for him to like me." After putting his mug in the sink, he turned on his phone and saw Aloha's video. "Fuck. Time to go suit shopping."
"WOW! This place is so shiny my eyes are gonna burn off!" smiled Goggles, standing with Hachi in front of the formal clothing store. "LET'S GO!" he exclaimed, taking the octoling's hand and running inside. "His hand is warm." smiled Hachi, blushing. They quickly began trying on anything that fit them, since neither knew anything about fashion. A little while later, Hachi walked out in a red suit with a small black top hat clipped on his tentacle. "PERFECT!" exclaimed the blue inkling. "I'm gonna try on this one!" he grinned as he went to change.
Goggles left the fitting room wearing a sparkling blue tuxedo, and struck a few poses for a dramatic effect. "How do I look?" he winked, flustering the octoling. "Handsome." replied Hachi. Feeling bold, the blue inkling helped him up off of the bench and kissed his hand before letting go.
Gloves just finished watching Aloha's video while he was waiting for his pajamas to finish up in the dryer. He smiled, still thinking about last night. He couldn't get over the taste of Rider's skin, lips and everything! If he could just tell the guy how he feels, there'd be more of where that came from. Just thinking about how close they were sent pleasant shivers down his spine, there was a reason why he had to wash out a stain in his PJs.
"Laundry this early?" asked Half-Rim. "Yeah." Gloves answered confidently, taking his stuff out of the dryer. "You got Aloha's video?" he asked, getting a nod from his friend. "That might be the perfect time to confess to Rider." said Half-Rim. "HE'S RIGHT!" grinned Straps, appearing out of nowhere, confusing Half-Rim in particular "How…How did you?-"
"RIDER TEXTED ME!" exclaimed Gloves, opening the message.
"hey. wanna buy suits?" messaged Rider.
"HECK YEAH" texted Gloves.
"CATCH YA LATER BROS!" waved the green inkling, leaving his teammates behind. "They grow up so fast." sighed Half-Rim. "I know!" cried Straps, shedding a tear. Clip-Ons came down to join them. "Our boy's a real man now." she added, saluting.
"Hey man!" waved Gloves, stepping into Rider's house. "Hey." replied the yellow-green inkling. "So, why'd you call me here first?" asked the green squid. Rider hid his face in shame for a moment before looking back at Gloves' eyes. "I want that again…" he mumbled. "Gloves…"
He paused for a moment before finishing with a whisper. "I want my turn."
Gloves blushed, but allowed Rider to do what he wanted because he wouldn't be caught dead resisting this. The yellow-green inkling let out a low, hot sigh as he took the other's chin and brought his lips close. "F-Fuck…" sighed Gloves, silenced by the aggressive force of Rider's mouth. His tongue made itself comfortable in the green squid's mouth, feeling it out.
Rider pulled back and kissed Gloves' jaw. "Damn, you taste good." he whispered, before picking up the flushed green inkling and pinning him to the wall. The visible bulge in his shorts made Rider curious. "He likely just sees me as a friend with benefits." the dynamo main told himself. Gloves wanted to quiver at the feeling of their parts lightly touching each other. As Rider got more intense with his mouth while sensually stroking his body, Gloves couldn't help but let out some loud moans. He wasn't used to being on the more receiving end.
Stealth opened the door. "Hello Ri- Oh. OH. Sorry." he laughed awkwardly. "STEALTH?!" yelled Rider, still holding Gloves. "Dude." snickered Bamboo, while Blazer insisted they all give the two privacy. "It's fine." groaned Rider. "I just remembered I have to go out anyway."
"What about training?" asked Stealth. "Gloves and I are going shopping, so that's canceled." answered the yellow-green inkling. "Shopping like that?" questioned Bamboo, pointing to a weak Gloves melting into Rider's touch. "Take your shirt off…" he sighed while smiling. "Shut up." groaned Rider. "Well, we'll leave you to your date." smirked Bamboo, leaving with the others. "Jerk." muttered Rider.
While those two got ready to go to the store, Goggles and Hachi left it and were at the octoling's house. Unsurprisingly, it was very clean and organized. "After you, my sweet." smiled Hachi, getting a blush out of Goggles. Hachi smiled when he noticed, and gave the blue inkling a hug.
The moment came and went, now they were in a conversation with Nana in the kitchen as the octoling girl was baking chocolate chip cookies. "I heard Army was caught wearing Aloha's jacket yesterday!" laughed Nana. "Gloves' team told me something about him and Rider making out!" smiled Goggles. "WHAT?" exclaimed Nana. "I'M ACTUALLY not surprised. They're a bit obvious."
Hachi felt a huge sense of relief knowing neither of those guys have been fighting over Goggles lately, and that they probably won't be again. Nana felt a bit mischievous. "So, are you in love with anyone, Goggles?" she asked. "W-Well…" chuckled the now flushed inkling. "In all honesty I think I'm a little too silly for him."
"No way! You and Hac-I MEAN HIM are totally meant to be!" responded Nana. "A little slip-up goes a long way." Hachi thought to himself, chuckling quietly. "I love how carefree you are, I think he'd love it too." smiled the octoling boy. "I'm off to find the rest of Hachi and I's team while the cookies bake." said Nana, walking out and exchanging waves with the boys. "Don't burn the house down!"
A small hint of tension filled the air after Nana left. Hachi looked into the inkling's eyes, while Goggles stared back kind of cluelessly. "Who's the boy you're in love with?" asked Hachi. Goggles just nervously looked to the side. "Come on, can we talk about this later?!" he laughed sheepishly, watching the octoling only get closer to him. Hachi kissed the shorter inkling on the nose.
"I dunno, I just assumed you preferred staying friends…" said Goggles. "OH, I MEAN HE!" he quickly "corrected" himself. "Not really." replied Hachi. "You're really sweet and energetic, I love the way you zip around the battlefield, and how passionate you are about almost everything." he smiled and cupped his face. "You're also r-really cute…I love you, Goggles."
Goggles felt his face burn up, but couldn't believe what he just heard. "Wait what?"
Hachi pulled the blue inkling in for a long kiss on the lips, then gently broke away. Goggles brought the two back into an embrace, he found the octoling's to be very warm. "I love you too!" smiled the inkling. "My sweetheart." whispered Hachi.
Ten minutes later, Nana came back and smiled at the two. The two were sleeping together on Hachi's chair. "Aww!" she laughed, taking the cookies out of the oven. The smell instantly caught the boys' attention and woke them right up. "They're done!" exclaimed the octoling girl. She chuckled when the new couple began feeding each other her cookies.
Rider was looking around for the best tuxedo in the store, while Gloves mischievously shoved something into a shopping bag. "Heyyyy Rider, try this on man!" he snickered, handing Rider the bag. "If this isn't a suit then you're DEAD." muttered the yellow-green inkling. Gloves got comfy as his friend stepped into the fitting room.
Without looking at it first, Rider left the room in a maid dress made from expensive material, hence why Gloves found it for sale. The green inkling guffawed when Rider finally looked down and blushed furiously. "OH, FUCK YOU!" he groaned, walking back in to change but not before Gloves took a picture of him. "DELETE THAT!"
The yellow-green inkling noticed Gloves still laughing when he came back out. "Whatever. Your laugh's cute." he whispered. "Not in the store!" retorted Gloves. "Hey, you just embarrassed me so I think I can say that in public." smirked Rider.
While Rider continued his search for an outfit, Gloves scrolled on his phone and found a post from Hachi. It was a romantic photo of him kissing Goggles. "Ayy, good for them." smiled Gloves. "What about this one?" asked Rider, pointing at a simple black suit with a sparkling red tie. "Looks good!" nodded Gloves. "And what about you?" asked Rider. "Oh, I already got one!" answered the dualies main.
"Then why the hell did you agree to come?" questioned the dynamo main. "Cause I like hanging out, I think I like your company best." answered Gloves. "That's stupid." replied Rider. "Damn, cod forbid I compliment you!" laughed the green inkling. Rider blushed. "Well, it was a stupid compliment. Just because I-"
"Stop being such a tsundere and take the compliment!" scoffed Gloves, teasingly. "Tch. Shut up." grumbled Rider. Gloves began to laugh again. "What? Is the big strong scary man afraid of my endless kindness?"
"Yeah, everlasting kindness. Sure." mumbled Rider. "Whatever you say, loverboy." he shrugged. "L-Loverboy?!" gasped Gloves, blushing. Being the cool inkling he is, Gloves quickly recomposed himself. "What an interesting thing to assume." he winked. "Who's the one who needed me when he felt touch-starved?" he smirked, paying for Rider's suit at the register.
"Come on, big guy." he sang as he tried picking up the yellow-green inkling. "The hell are you doing?" groaned Rider. "Givin' you a lift." answered Gloves, smugly. The green inkling successfully lifted him up. "This looks stupid!" complained the dynamo main. "Sorry, can't hear ya!" replied Gloves.
He brought Rider home to get ready then rushed back to his own house to do the same. The party was starting soon, and despite being a lazy bitch Aloha hated it when his guests didn't show up on time. They didn't even know why he was throwing a fancy party for his birthday!
New Albacore hotel was full of familiar faces dressed to the nines, as the sound of romantic music filled the atmosphere. Rider ran into Gloves, who was just wearing a green formal shirt and somewhat decent looking pants. "Lookin' good!" greeted the green inkling.
"Damn he's stunning." thought Rider.
