Bobble hat x mask

With more inklings and octolings moving to the splatlands inkopolis square becomes more quiet. 

But nothing beats the sound of light rain at night.

《Mask pov》

It's so wet outside.

Wel it's rain what do you expect but seriously it's been raining all day. No turf no ranked no nothing. Well at least I don't have any meetings to attend with my teammates. 

The rain is soothing... Perfect for some sleep. The sky was dark but not quite pitch black. It was like a dark shade of blue. Like team blues' ink color but a lot darker. I really should head to bed soon.

Speaking of team blue I got a message. From bobble to be exact.

[Message from bobble hat

Bobble: heyyy mask do you mind if I come over pleaseeee

8:52]

Why would she wanna come  over at a time like this? It's late and rainy. And out of everyone she knew, she choose me?

[Mask: haven't you seen the weather? And ots late why would you wanna come over now

8:52]

[Bobble: aww please headphones is having a sleepover with n-pacer and rider is over its so boringgg 

8:53]

[Bobble: wait ots???

8:53]

[Mask: I MEANT IT'S

8:54]

[Bobble: lol anyways can I come overrrr

8:54]

[Mask: fine

8:55]

Well Bobble is coming over. That's sounds more fun than trying to sleep. Let's just hope my teammates are asleep...

《3rd pov》

The rain was coming down harder than it was before, but that didn't stop bobble from walking in the rain. The patters of the drops hitting the ground, the clouds lighting up when lighting strikes, and the sounds of thunder. Not alot of cephalopods enjoyed this weather, but to others it was their favorite kind of scenery. 

"You're soaked," Mask said looking bobble.

"You took to long opening the door"

Mask sighed and let bobble into his shared apartment. His apartment was surprisingly clean. He tried to clean a little before bobble came but, most days his place is a mess. After Bobble settled in they decided to have some ramen with a little discussion on the latest matches they had. After having their food they played some Animal Crossing and some multi-player Mario games. 

"Hm, good gameee," Mask said after getting second place in Mario kart. He totally didn't slow down so Bobble could win at least once.

"Thank you Mask! You did a good job too!" Bobble exclaimed.

After a couple more rounds the two decided to take a break  and stretched. After that decided to go set up the bedroom for a sleepover and got some popcorn and candy to eat while the attempt an all-nighter. They decided to pit on a couple of movies they both liked and maybe binges a couple of shows. 

Mask was getting pretty tired and thought Bobble was too. Bobble looked like she had a lot of energy and wanted to stay up longer.

"Can we stay up a little longer? Pleaseee?" Bobble asked with her signature bright smile.

Mask was tired. Like really tired but couldn't resist bobbles' sweet smile. Then again it's the same smile she has everyday. He does really enjoy bobbles' company though...

"I'm really tired bobble, we can hang out more in the morning," Mask sighs.

"Awww okay as long as I get to stay longer," The blue  inkling replies.

The two of them start heading of to bed. Bobble decides to sleep on masks' bed. Mask didn't mind. He was lonely anyways. They get into bed next to one another with the ambient rain kn the background. 

Even though Mask was tired, he couldn't seem to fall asleep. Bobble however knocked put right away. Mask was a little bit of an overthinker and could survive without sleep for weeks, but this time felt a little different.

With the presence of another inkling by him, he felt physically warmer. Mentally however, he felt all soft inside? Did he like this inkling?

Well as a friend yeah. As something more? Maybe no. Maybe yes.

Then again, he doesn't like anyone. But yet, he's laying really close to him. Maybe he was a little to cold inside. Maybe he needed to hold someone close to him. Like Bobble. Hold her hand through her gray sweater.

Oh well that was a problem for a different day.

Mask drifted off to sleep. He finnaly felt relaxed. That was not something he's felt in a while. For now it was just a quiet rainy night for him qnd one of his closest friends.
