Mask x A3!Reader

A3 = Agent 3

════ ⋆★⋆ ════

Ever since the battle with DJ Octavio, everyone's been wondering exactly who this mysterious inkling is. The famous inkling who defeated the master behind the Octarian Army. No one knows their name nor what they look like. All they know is what they go by, which is Agent 3. Cap'n Cuttlefish told you to keep your identity a secret, mainly because more dangers will try to come after you if I did so. Not that you minded, it's a relief that your true name isn't revealed. You hate socializing sometimes. Certain inklings are scary and you'd rather keep far away as possible. However, there is one inkling you don't mind talking to all day.

"(Y/N)..." A droopy voice called out.

Speaking of the devil, here he is now. You turned around, a smile edged into your face.

"Are you ready to play salmon run?" Masked asked me.

You nodded and raced over to Grizzco's Industries, Masking following slowly behind.

Timeskip

The creaks and moans of the ship continued to lash out as you near your destination. You had to admit, this is such a frightening job. Imagine, trying to collect golden eggs for that greedy Grizz and then all of a sudden, you get splatted. And if your teammate never helps you, then you're stuck forever! Or, at least, until you fail to match the quota. The simple thought made you shiver in fear. Mask noticed this and walked over to you.

"Are you scared?" He asked.

"N-No! Not at all!" You lied, though it was very obvious.

"You can't lie to mee, (Y/N). I know when you lie~"

"Okay, fine. Yeah, I'm pretty scared."

He takes your hand in his own, giving it a tight squeeze. The small action makes you blush nearly fifty shades of (F/C). How could he do this so easily?

"Don't worry, I'll crush every one of those Salmonids for you." Mask offered, but in a very creepy way.

"You're sweet but, I think I'll be able to handle myself." You reassured.

Mask just shrugs and finally lets go of your hand. A sudden cold air slapped your hand like a brick when his hand left. It felt so unsatisfying to not be able to be in that warmth a little longer. Aw, come on (Y/N)! Snap out of it already! You lectured yourself, it's not like he'll feel the same way back. He's way too cool to love someone like me. A feeling of depression seeped into your brain and your heart slightly cracked. You wished that you could tell him how you felt, but being the super-shy squid that you are, that was impossible.

Timeskip (because I'm lazy)

After you returned from the seas, you both decided that it was time to play some video games together. As you two were beginning to exit the Square, a loud static sound was coming from your walkie-talkie. It scared the living daylights out of you because of how abrupt it was. Mask turned to you, his head tilted in confusion. Oh my gosh, why is he so cute? You mentally fangirled over his cuteness. You grabbed the stupid square communicator that was loudly pouring out TV static and turned around.

"I-I'll be a moment." You said and walked out of ear-shot distance from Mask.

Once you were out of his line of hearing, you clicked a button that would allow you to fully hear the person on the other side. A loud, old, but stern voice spilled out of the speaker immediately.

"AGENT 3! I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE RIGHT AWAY!" Cap'n Cuttlefish screeched at the top of his lungs.

You nearly dropped the stupid talkie when he yelled.

"Ah! G-Gramps, keep it down!" You hushed, "I'm in the public...!"

"I'm sorry Agent 3 but I need you in Octo Canyon pronto!"

Your eyes grew dim when you heard that. It had to be the work of octarians, once again. When will they ever give up? With a sigh, you answered back in the sternest voice possible, though it was filled with concern for the poor old man. He had to deal with so much.

"I'll be there right away, Captain."

"Please hurry!"

After that, the call ended and you tucked the talkie back into your pocket. I hate to ditch Mask like this but, duty calls, you sighed in reluctance. You turned and walk back to Mask, who was now playing on his phone. When he saw you come up, he already knew that you had to do something else.

"Work?" Mask asked.

"Yeah, I have to go." You nodded.

"You owe me a Super Seanwich, got it?"

Your lips stretched into a smile.

"Got it~!"

"Good. See you later, (Y/N)."

"See you later, Mask..."

You watched as Mask walked away without you. Part of you wanted to say screw it and go with him anyway, but then that would be putting the Captain in more danger. Not to mention, it's a pretty jerk move to leave an old man to defend himself. You opened up your phone and looked at a picture that brought your heart joy whenever you saw it. Both you and Mask together as kids.

"Someday, Mask," You said in a hushed voice, "Someday, I'll tell you everything."

Pocketing your phone, you hurried your way over to the manhole near the Deca Tower and dove in. It's time to be the hero once again.

Sorry if it was cheesy or badly done. I kind of didn't know what to write for this one so, I went with my instinct I guess. Again, I'm so sorry!
