An X Hiro X Ika
"Wait"
The two stopped and started to notice the slight darkening of their friends legs as they liquified. Drops of black ink dripped onto the pavement.
"Hiro! What's going on?!"
"I... I don't know..." the panic on his face was only slight, compared to the others. The partial loss of his legs caused a loss of control to start. He tried to walk towards the girls, but only ended up falling forward. Luckily they both caught him. The worry more evident
"Something's not right. We have to get you to a hospital! Quick!" Ika said in a panic as she put one of Hiro's arms over her shoulder. An followed her actions shortly after. The duo and a half then started running, desperately trying to find help. And leaving behind a splotchy trail in the process
Hiro's arms had just started to melt. Along with his tentacles. Making even more of a mess on the ground. The ink soon made contact with both An and Ika. Unbeknownst to them, their own tentacles color started fading
An suddenly looked back "you're gonna be ok, swear! Just. Hang in there" she nodded slightly, looking as if she was about to cry.
At this point, there was little left of the Octoling. Soon becoming nothing but a mess of sludge on the ground with two bright white eyes. The girls, now noticing the state of their friend. Still made an attempt to keep going. Despite their limbs rapidly deteriorating. It wasn't long before Ika tarted slowing down, succumbing to her sickness. An looked back in fear at the mess being made. Globs of the thick ink formed in place of her tears. Using all of her remaining strength to mutter something to the group. A simple, sincere apology. After all, she should've noticed something was wrong from day one, this would've never happened, Hiro and Ika would still be alive and happy. They didn't deserve this. She looked down at the amalgams before her. Seeing all she could with her failing vision. She got out one more distorted apology before accepting her fate and melting into an embrace with what used to be her friends.
The trio had attracted some eyes from bystanders, it's no surprise one of them called for help. The help only got there just too late. They were gone

Gloves X Half Rim
After a while of not seeing his boyfriend anywhere, or even just online on his socials. Gloves grew worried and set out to personally visit him. He was reluctant to just show up at first because, what if Rim actually was up to stuff that was important? He didn't want to interfere if that was in fact, the case. But, it had almost been a full week since Gloves last saw him.
Gloves anxiously strolled up to Rim's front door and hesitated before knocking on it, there was no answer. Without another option, he decided to just let himself in, the anxiousness grew and made him feel sick. He needed to at least know Rim was ok. He opened the front door and saw a normal looking room. He suddenly froze, he could hear loud crashing noises from Rim's room. Worried for him, he barged in without a second thought. Little did he know what he would see would forever be burnt into his mind. A completely trashed room, torn up bits of old art everywhere, Rims glasses on the ground, shattered, remnants of thick slushy ink everywhere. But more importantly, a blobby mess of shadows, sitting in the room, dead center, staring directly at gloves with its blinding white eyes. Gloves threw his hands over his mouth, his eyes widened, too many thoughts going through his mind—
'what was going on?!'
'That can't be him, right? It can't be'
'Why is this happening?'
'Please, make it stop!'
He snapped back to reality just as the creature lunged at him, me narrowly avoided the attack. He hesitated for a moment, swearing he could hear Rim's voice somewhere through the distortion. "I'm sorry!" he shouted an apology before sloppily picking himself up and running back out the door, he started getting teary eyed, had he really lost Rim? So many years of a built up relationship between the two, severed as if it were nothing, burnt to ash, and then burnt again. Leaving nothing but a dark ugly stain of what once was. He kept running, aiming to get to the city, hoping to find his teammates or just anyone he could rely on there. He ended up stumbling across Clip ons who immediately grew concerned for him. "Gloves?! What happened? Why are you crying?!" She frantically asked. "I-It's Rim.. He.... He needs h-help... please" he looked at her as he pleaded, she immediately pulled out her phone and called the emergency number. She explained the situation and gave out the address before thanking the operator and focusing her attention back on gloves. "Everything will be ok. Help is on the way" she tried to reassure him. "I-It's not too l-late... right? H-he'll be okay?" He asked, nearly every word breaking. Clip ons nodded and spoke "I'm sure of it"
-[♫]-
"....What?" Gloves' heart sank
"I said there's nothing we can do, he's gone"
"You have to be joking, right? H-he can't really be gone! He can't... c-can't–" Gloves was thrown into a state of panic, he began feeling lightheaded, eventually falling onto his knees. Tears formed and fell constantly, soaking everything in their path. His best friend, boyfriend, who he loved with all his heart, the person he would trust with his own life, taken away in an instant. And he didn't even get to say goodbye.
