Welp, about time I started writing, I'm just so hard pressed for time. I guess we'll see where this goes...
This is a 3(male) x 8(female) story, other ships and characters will be mentioned but not made a main focus. Thanks have a great day.
We got out of the car and walked up to the gate, I pressed the buzzer to get their attention. "Who is it?" Pearl's voice came through the speaker. "You know who it is, open the damn gate." I replied. "Nope" Pearl's voice crackled back, popping the p. "Fine." I responded, pulling out my phone. I could tell 8 was watching curiously. Nothing she dpesn't already know. My screen turned black for a moment, then showed a symbol.

This image is mine. It was supposed to be the turf war 'splatted' status on the top bar, it went kinda badly.
Then it glitched away, and the gate opened, I smiled. "Let's go." I said to 8. "Did you just--" she started. "Hack them? Maybe only a little." I told her, still grinning. I knocked. Marina answered it. "How'd you get past the gate?" Marna asked, "Pearl locked it down." "It just opened and we walked through." I replied, "can you let us in now?" "Yes yes, come on in." Marina said.
8 POV
I stayed close to 3, nervous about seeing the whole Splatoon again, since two of them didn't really like me. Close behind and slightly to the left, that's his dominant hand, although ambidextrous.
Lefties for the win mothafucka!
He seemed to have noticed and flashed me a small smile, making my hearts skip a beat. "3! 8! You're here!" Marie called. "How's our favorite couple?" Callie teased. T-they know?! I thought, No, she's just teasing. 3 broadcasted to me. Oh. "Cut it out Callie" Pearl said, "unless they are together~" "Knock it off you two." Marina reprimanded. "So what were you guys doing before we got here?" 3 asked. "Playing truth or dare." Callie responded. "Keep it PG while 8's around, or PG-13 at worst." 3 replied, sitting on the floor, I followed and sat next to him, wanting so badly just to touch him, to bury my face in his chest and have him hold me. But, we weren't alone, I wanted so badly to be alone with him, but we were spending time with friends, I could find happiness in that for a while. "Since it's my turn, 8! Truth or dare?" Pearl asked. "Truth..." I said quietly. 3 looked at me, an expression on his face. Pride? Is he... proud of me for starting to talk around others? If he is... it's kind of nice. "Have you confessed to that guy you told Marina and I about?" She asked. I nodded. Pearl and Marina squealed. "Who is it?" Pearl asked. "Ah ah ah~" 3 said, "that wasn't the question, 8, your turn." "Amy, t-truth or dare?" I asked. "Dare." Amy said with finality. "Make her do this..." 3 whispered. I giggled, I really liked that idea. "I dare you t-to go to the square and scream the gummy bear song." I said. Amy looked shocked and everyone started laughing.
A timeskip and an embarrassed Amy later...
"That was hilarious!" Callie laughed. "I hate the world..." Amy grumbled. Alex patted her shoulder, still chuckling. "Amy your turn." Marina said. "Fine, Marina truth or dare?" Amy asked. "Truth" Marina replied. "Is it true that you are in love with Pearl?" Amy asked smirking. Both Pearl and Marina blushed furiously. And then they both nodded. "Love is love." 3 said, "Marina, your turn." "Pearl, truth or dare?" Marina asked, overcoming her embarrassment. "Dare!" Pearl replied. "I dare you to chug that bottle of vinegar." Marina challenged. "Agh! Fine." Pearl said.
Timeskip because gross.
"Alright, that was awful yo! But it's my turn." Pearl said, "8! Truth or dare?" "D-dare." I said softly. "I dare you to kiss 3!" Pearl said. I blushed and looked at 3. They want a show, might as well give em one. 3 broadcasted. I smiled and leaned into 3, kissing him. He took control, holding me as we kissed, but I didn't care, I finally got to be against him, as passion and love filled us both. We slowly backed off, separating ourselves reluctantly. Everyone was staring, and I blushed furiously, my face turning to a dark pink, while 3 had a light dusting of white, eveident against his tanned skin, his skin tone was lighter than mine, which was more caramel colored, but his complexion was dark enough that the small white blush on his face was blatantly obvious. "Looks like they enjoyed that one." Alex said. "Is 3... blushing?" Marie asked. "Why isn't it blue?" Amy followed up. "Callie! Truth or dare?!" I cried, trying to get everyone's attention off of 3, giving him time to recover. "Truth," Callie replied. "Who is your love interest?" I asked. "Gotta admit, 3 has always been attractive~" Callie said, "Now 3, truth or dare~" "Dare," 3 said nonchalantly. "I dare you to kiss me~" Callie said. "Nope, I got a girlfriend." 3 replied. "But you kissed 8! And she's got a boyfriend, so you're already a cheater along with her!" Callie cried. "Correction, she kissed me. And yes, both she and I have a significant other, no, neither of us are cheaters, we have both been loyal to said other. Had I kissed you, I would have been disloyal, which is unacceptable." 3 said. "But then..." Marina started. "You and 3 are dating!?" Pearl squealed. "Lower your voice, if I wanted my eardrums blown out I would listen to your earrape song." 3 snapped. Marina looked furious. "You're the guy she had feelings for?!" She yelled. "Yes" 3 said, wrapping an arm around my waist, holding me close. I gently nuzzled him. "I'm 8's legal guardian now though, so I forbid her from seeing you!" Marina cried. Tears filled my eyes as I clung to him, scared she'd pull me away. "Huh, odd, last I checked, 8 was 18 as of August 8th, 2026, because she was born in 2008." 3 said, holding me, comforting me, "so she is of legal age and does not need a guardian."
Did that for a reason, I wanted her birthday to be 8/8/08. Stupid, I know, but to work it needed to be currently 2026, so 3 is 23, born 3/3/03. It's dumb, that I used those numbers instead of something meaningful, like launch dates. But it was what I wanted
"I'm still taking her." Marina growled, advancing. "No. You're not." 3 said, his nonchalence remaining steadfast, "Even if I wanted you to take her I wouldn't." "And why would that be?" Amy called. "Because she wants to stay." He replied, gesturing at my position, "she is clinging, literally clinging to me because she is scared you'll seperate us. If she wanted to leave, regardless of my feelings I'd let her. But she wants to stay, so regardless of my feelings I'll let her. It's just an... added bonus that my feelings align with her intentions." Everyone was silent, and I just buried my head against him, hoping for his protection, his love, to surround me and keep me safe and happy with him. "Marina, let them be." Pearl said, her normally loud voice was now soft, "3 said it earlier when we came out to them, so I'll say it again. Love is love Marina, if they love each other enough to do this, to support and protect each other under the threat of seperation, then they deserve to be together. So let them be. "He's a horrible person!" Marina cried. "No." 3 said, standing. I stayed close behind, still nervous. "I'm a liar, I'm a cheat, I'm neurotic, I'm a freak. I'm colder than a rolling stone, but I hate it when I'm left alone. Even at my best I'm the worst, I'm a headcase, I'll spin her in reverse. I'm everything in between, but she always finds the best part, the best part of me." He said, "and because of that, you're going to let us be." He pulled me close against his side, arm around my waist. I relaxed, leaning on him, knowing that he would keep me-- us-- safe. "If you hurt her," Marina growled. "You'll kill me? Good luck with that one." 3 said. He held out his hand, and a glowing portal appeared, leading into 3's apartment. "JARVIS, drive the car home," he said, "let's go 8." We stepped through the portal, it closing behind us.
3 POV
"Let's go to bed, what do you say?" I asked she just nodded and followed me to our room. I went to the bathroom to change, knocking on the door to see is she was done. "Done," 8 called. I opened the door and got in bed, 8 getting in right after. I wrapped my arms around her, then brought her in for a kiss.
Cut! That's a wrap! Another chapter done and another snow day, hell yea. Still waiting on your thoughts of a Xenoblade 2 story, but if I made any errors, let me know, and I will try my best to fix them. Geronimo!
