"[Name], heads up!" My teammate yelled.

"Got it!"

I raised my Eliter and splatted two inklings just before the time ran out. Our team didn't win, sadly, but it was lots of fun still. We exit the tower to get some food when I spot Mask talking to his team, Team Cyan. He was probably talking to them about the newest games coming out this week. What a bunch of nerds, I chuckled, internally. After we got our food, we decided to kick it at our leader's place since it's not too far from the Square.

"[Name]~!" I heard from behind.

I turn to see Mask, along with his teammates, approach me.

"Do you wanna join us? We're gonna play ranked~" Mask asked.

"Sorry, not right now," I declined, "Maybe later though."

"Okay..."

Mask was disappointed, I could tell. But he just shrugged and trudged off with his team. I could feel my team give me googly eyes from behind. I snap my head around to glare at them. [Tm/1] was smirking at me, [Tm/2] was just smiling, and [Tm/3] didn't seem to care.

"Knock it off!" I yelled.

[Tm/1] laughed, "It's so obvious though!"

"Yeah, when are you going to tell him?" [Tm/2] asked.

I blushed a heavy shade of [f/c]. Sure they don't think I like-like Mask, that's impossible! He's just a friend, nothing more, nothing less. I storm off, leaving my three friends to laugh at me. I don't like him, I don't like him! I shouted in my head. Instead of going to [Tm/3]'s house, I went straight to my apartment. After that little scene, I'm not going anywhere near the others for the rest of the day.

"Maybe some Splatunes will cheer me up..." I picked up my phone.

I pressed the shuffle button and let my playlist play itself. But the first song that appears is Marie's solo, Tide Goes Out. That doesn't make me feel better at all! I whined and paused the song.

"Okay, not songs..." I look around, "I know, exercising!"

I paused, "Nah, I'm too lazy for that..."

It got to the point where I started doing random stuff around my apartment. Eventually, I gave up and laid on my floor. Ugh, why can't I get him out of my head?! I pulled on my tentacles. I don't like him, yeah, I don't... like him.

"I can't deny it, I like-like him!" I huddled into a ball, "He's just so cute and amazing, I'd give anything to be with him..."

A voice from behind my front door spoke, "Are you talking to yourself~?"

And my world shattered. Crap! It's Mask! Did he hear all that just now?! I stood up immediately and awkwardly walked toward the front door. How long was he standing there...?!

I open the door, "H-Hey, M-Mask... How's it going?"

"We finished our match," He said, "I came to check up on you. But you seem busy so I'll leave-

"No!"

I grabbed his wrist before he could walk away. I was embarrassed but I didn't want him to leave yet. Blushing from ear to ear, I turn my head away.

"I mean, don't leave just yet," I quietly said, "You can stay if you want... idiot."

"Uh, okay then?"

I let go of his wrist and open the door wide. Mask walked in and we chilled on the couch together. He brought his switch over so we got to play a few rounds of smash brothers. And I got to gloat whenever I won, which is even better.

"By the way, I heard you outside," Mask said, "You mentioned something about liking someone?"

I blushed madly and turned away. Am I going to admit it? Heck no! He can't know, no one can ever know!

"O-Of course not!" I denied, "Whatever you heard just forget about it!"

"She got defensive... that's a sign," Mask muttered.

I snap my head at him, "A sign? A sign for what?!"

He narrows his eyes at me, "You like-like someone, don't you? Don't lie to me now..."

I saw him scoot a little closer to me. I started panicking. Mask got closer and closer until he was right next to me. What do I do?! I try to push him away to create some distance but Mask grabbed both my hands.

"M-Mask! Wh-

Mask used one hand to unclip the clasps keeping his mask on. When he took it off, I blushed uncontrollably. Who knew such an emo-looking squid could be such a cutie. I shook my head. No! I can't let him find out I like him! I yank my hands away from my grasp.

"What in the fresh heck is wrong with you, Mask?!" I yelled, "Do you know how creepy you're being right now?!"

"But your face is red..." He pointed out.

"Yeah, out of embarrassment!"

"Geez, you're such a whiny little brat..."

I was going to insult him but then something unexpected happened. Mask gave me a small kiss on the lips! It was short, only like 5 seconds, but it was long enough to force me to shut up. D-Did that just happen?! Did Mask, the Mask, seriously just kiss me?! The room started to spin and spin until I finally blacked out.

When I woke up again, I was laying down on my bed. I bolt up, probably not the best thing to do, but I don't care. I looked around my room, it was the same as usual. My anime posters, my unorganized laundry, I should probably do something about that. But I also saw something that wasn't there before. A note. I picked it up and examined it.

Hey, [Name], had a nice nap I see. Anyway, I'll be back later. I just need to attend a meeting with S4 again. I don't want to get spammed by Army again. See you soon.

-Mask

I was about to put it down but I noticed the note went on a little more.

P.S: You're terrible at hiding your feelings, y'know? I mean, who leaves their diary unlocked? That's stupid.

"No, he didn't..." I clenched the paper.

"MAAAAAASK!!"

Author's Note: Sorry it took so long, I was kinda working on a few things for multiple people. Sorry again!
