Squidward x Spongebob

Spongebob and Squidward

(Spongebob's point of view)

As my alarm clock rings, I pull myself out of bed wearing nothing but my undergarments. It is chilly today, so I pull on a soft white robe. I take my time getting dressed, but then I remember that I have to be at the Krusty Krab early today. I pick up my pace, quickly shoveling down my breakfast and brushing my eyes. As I walk through the threshold, I remember that I forgot to feed Gary. Oh well. He'll be fine.

I take my usual route to work, stopping by Patrick's house on my way.

When I finally arrive, I am 7 minutes early. I suppose I could have fed Gary after all.

As I am pondering my thoughts, Mr. Krabs walks in. He looks surprised that I've made it to work on time. 

"So, you remembered you had work early today. That's a first. Good for you, kid."

Before I can reply, he begins talking to all the employees. I catch him saying something about how we need to get here earlier before customers come in, but I zone out through most of it. I find myself staring at Squidward. I study his features. His tall, slim figure, his teal blue skin, his abnormally large nose. I look at his shirt. It's collared, its color a mustard yellow with a hint of green. He looks good in it.

As I daydream, I feel someone touch my shoulder. I turn around to see one of our regular customers. 

"Hey! I told you I wanted to order! Snap out of it!"

I apologize to the woman, but I still can't take my eyes off Squidward. When I realize he's glaring back at me, I whip my head away from him, my cheeks turning pink.  I decide I will take the woman's order.

When I finally complete my shift, I am exhausted. I wonder why the Krusty Krab only has two employees. As I place my hand on the door handle, I feel a hand touch my shoulder. I turn around, and it's Squidward.

"What do you need?" I ask him shyly, trying not to sound too nervous.

"Oh, I..." He trails off. I wonder if he is nervous as well. "I was wondering if I could come over to your house after work. To discuss things about the Krusty Krab. As colleagues, of course." His cheeks fill with red.

"Of course. No problem," I say, trying to contain my excitement. "In fact, I'm going home right now. You can walk with me if you'd like."

He agrees, and I push open the door, holding it for him. 

It was quite an awkward walk home, without anyone saying a word. When we finally arrived at my doorstep, I could hear his heavy breathing. We entered, and I removed my shoes, and I was about to ask him to do the same until I realized he wasn't wearing any. He set down his things and looked around.

"Nice place," he said.

"Thank you," I replied.

He began to walk around, and I told him that I was going to change out of my work clothes. I walked into my bedroom and began undressing. As I slipped off my cardboard, I heard the door close behind me. I turned around to see Squidward staring at me. 

"Squidward?" I muttered. "What are you doing in here? I told you I was changing."

"That's exactly the point," He replied in his smooth, deep voice. 

"What? I don't understand-" But I didn't get to finish my sentence before he pulled me in.

"Spongebob, I-

I have feelings for you. Please tell me you feel the same way."

I did feel the same way. I nodded my head and muttered softly to him. "Yes. Yes." 

He scooped me up and carried me to my bed. I felt safe in his strong grip. He placed me down and removed his mustard-yellow collared shirt. He lay down next to me, and our gaze met. He pulled me close, and I felt his many tentacles caress my torso. I felt them everywhere. On my face, in my mouth, on my back, on my stomach, between my legs. I gripped him tighter, wondering if we could be any closer. I could feel the radiating heat of his body against mine. I began to drool, and he slurped it up. Our lips touched, and I was enjoying every millisecond of it, hoping it would never stop. 

That's when I remembered I forgot to feed Gary.
