I'll Buy You Another

You arrived at Splatsville safely following your super jump from Alterna

(Man I'm so tired)

As soon as your feet touch the ground you immediately set out to your apartment so you can lay down

(My bed isn't here yet though. I don't even care, the floor is fine)

You close your eyes and exhale as you continue to walk towards your apartment fighting through the exhaustion

(Maybe I could sleep in my ink ? )

You collide into something and sharply look up, being brought back to reality

Y/N: My bad

You instantly apologize and look to see what you bumped into. It was a person clad in a black cloak. They got knocked to the ground from the impact

You extend a hand out to them and notice a spilled drink and few pieces of shrimp on the side of them

They grab your hand pulling themselves to their feet

Y/N: My fault I wasn't paying attention. I'll buy you another drink

???: It's fine

Y/N: Are you sure
(Sounds like a girl)

You couldn't really make out the individual's appearance

???: Yes

Y/N: Nah It's gonna haunt me all day

???: I mean if you insist...

With a bit of reluctance they give in to your offer and the two of you walk over to a food truck ran by a jellyfish

Jellyfish: What can I get for you ?

You step to the side so they can order . You tried to get a clean look at their face but it was still well hidden

After they finish ordering you present your phone to the Jellyfish so you can pay

Jellyfish: It'll be right out

Y/N: Thanks

The person in the cloak leaned against the side of the truck as they waited for their order.

Jellyfish: Here you are

You grab the large drink and order of tempura and hand it to the individual

???: I appreciate it even though you didn't have to

Y/N: It's no problem

The individual didnt respond after that.
They just stood there looking at you

???: What's your name little ika ?

Y/N: Y/N
(Little ? I'm taller than you)

???: Y/N... what do you think about Anarchy Splatcast

Y/N: It's cool I guess
(Squid Sisters news is better but I'm not saying that)

???: Swing by the studio some time

Y/N: For what ?

She peels back a bit of her cloak revealing enough of her face for you to identify her. Her lack of an eye mask and blue tentacles parted to one side was all you needed to see

Y/N: ...
(No freaking way)

Shiver: What's the matter, Judd got your tongue?

Y/N: Shiver ?

You said her name a little too loud for her liking

Shiver: Chill out

She spreads her fan and covers your mouth with it, encouraging you to stay silent

Shiver: I'm wearing a disguise for a reason

Y/N: My bad

You spoke with a significantly lower tone
She lowers her fan and takes another good look at you

Shiver: (This is definitely the same Inkling we saw falling down the crater)

Y/N: ( What do I even say to her I don't want to look wack)

Shiver: So... what's your answer ?

Y/N: Oh. Yeah I can swing by

Shiver: Great ! We were just discussing having a guest to boost our rates

Y/N: For sure, for sure

Shiver: Is tomorrow around 12:00 good ?

Y/N: That's cool

Shiver: Catch ya later

With a wave of her fan bidding you goodbye she grabs her food before  walking back to the studio, leaving you starstruck

(She's even badder in person)

You head straight to bed and crash from fighting Octarians all day
