Splatoon x Male Reader

S3C Chapter 13: Good Grief

Happy Valentine's Day to all! Side Order is now only a week away from release, and I couldn't be any more excited for the return of such classic and beloved characters. They also yesterday given the last bit of footage of Side Order before the release of the DLC, on top of the Fresh Season 2024 trailer. It all looks amazing and I can't wait to figure it all out for myself on release.

Also, if any of you haven't seen it, they recently held a Splatoon concert online live, and it was great. Seeing Deep Cut meet Off the Hook was such a treat and got me working in my head instantly on ideas. Also seeing Off the Hook's new outfits modeled and performing was great. Pearl's big hoodie design has to be an absolute treat of its own, and whoever designed that deserves full credit for that one.

Shiver POV

Shiver was sitting in the living room of the hideout. She had a large smile that hadn't left her face since the Splatfest had ended.

Big Man: Ay. (Glad to see you're still feeling chipper from your victory.)

Shiver: What? The great and always-correct me? Why, yes, I guess I am a little happy about that still. I hadn't noticed.

Big Man: Ayy... (I wish you wouldn't get this much of a big head over it though...)

Shiver: What did you say?

She snapped at him with a glare.

Big Man: A-Ay! Aay! (Uh, n-nothing! Just another congrats on the win!)

Shiver glared over at him for a few moments longer before returning back to her smile.

Shiver: Oh please, Big Man, you don't have to say that, it's embarrassing me honestly.

Big Man just sighed and rolled his eyes at her false modesty.

Suddenly, (Y/N) walked into the room.

(Y/N): What's going on in here?

His sudden intrusion caused Shiver to slip up for a second and start acting a bit more nervously.

Big Man: Ayyy. (Shiver was just going on about Team Rock's victory in the Splatfest again.)

(Y/N): Try and put up with it a little longer, Big Man? It is a big deal for her. I'm sure you'll win next time.

Big Man: Ay... Ay. (I guess... I'd be pretty happy too if it was my team that won.)

He said with a smile.

(Y/N): Congratulations on the win again, Shiver.

Shiver: Wha- Haha, no- it's nothing. I only won thanks to your help after all.

She said while nervously stammering over herself for a moment before collecting herself again.

(Y/N): Well if I didn't put in the effort, you would've probably blasted me on the live broadcast.

The two giggled.

Shiver: There's at least a decent chance that might've happened. Who's to say? Let's just make sure we never find out.

(Y/N): Well, I'm gonna head out. You two have fun here.

Shiver: You don't want to stay and play video games or something?

She quickly tried to think of something to ask him to do.

(Y/N): Sorry, I'm planning on doing some Turf Wars today. Maybe another time?
