Small World (Zigzag x Squid from holes)

Getting Friendly

TW⚠️: LANGUAGE

Squid POV:

We sat there in silence for a few minutes. I occasionally looked at him studying his dirty blond hair and hypnotic blue eyes. I couldn't help but wonder about what his life was like. Was it better than mine or worse?

After a little more silence the tall boy finally spoke, "...so.....uhm...what's your name?" He glanced at me, awkwardly. "Alan...but I'd rather you call me Squid...what about you?" I replied looking at my bloody hands and knees. "Ricky, but I guess I need a cool nickname too huh?" He shot back with a dad-like response, or so I guessed, I wouldn't really know what that would sound like. "Hell yeah you do, your name is super boring." I gave him a funny remark too. "Damn, I thought you were innocent and kind." He said giving me a playful, dramatic look. We both laughed, well I laughed, he sort of cackled and wheezed like an old man.

Zigzag POV:

I have to admit, it was quite nice to talk to Ala— I mean Squid. He was very funny. "Anyway...hmmm...." I said, trying to think of a nickname "Ooh what about Stripes?" I continued. "Yeah if you're an autistic 6 year old." (NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE AUTISTIC I AM ALSO ON THE SPECTRUM) Squid responded sarcastically. "Ok then... what about......Zigzag?" I went on. "Yeah if...you....uh...actually that one's pretty good." He tried another sarcastic comment, but ultimately failed realizing he actually liked that nickname. "Ok then! I guess I am now Zigzag." I declared.

Squid POV:

This boy— I don't know what to feel about him, he makes me feel...happy? I guess if I can even describe this feeling as "happy". He just makes me feel warm inside. 

Maybe...

I 

Like

....him?

NO, I...don't like him, I'm not gay

But...what if...

NO

NO

NO

I AM NOT GAY

It's a sin...that's how I was raised

My mom would beat the shit out of me

But...

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the blue eyed blondie, with a perfect body. "Uhm, what do you wanna do? Or talk about?" Speak of the devil  I thought to myself. "I don't know...what's your life like?"

Zigzag POV:

"...what's your life like?" I didn't really know how to answer that question. It was sort of random, but not really. I thought for a second and replied with a very short summary of what it was like to be me. 

✌️(friendly reminder that this is my AU and not cannon :D)✌️

"Hm, I don't really know where to start. I have 2 little sisters, Melissa, who is 11, and Sadie, who is 9. My mom's name is Jessica, and my dad's name is Matthew. I have no friends, other than you, of course. Aaaand that's about it." 

"Wow, your life is super boring." Squid said, using one of his asshole remarks. "Damn, ok." I spat back, jokingly. We laughed, and laughed, and laughed. Everything was just so funny for some reason, I sort of liked it, though.

Squids POV:

We laughed a lot, it seemed like every conversation ended in laughs, but I'm not complaining, I think it's pretty nice.

"Hey, we've been sitting here for like 30 minutes do you wanna go walk around?" I suggested to the pretty boy on my right. "Sure!" He replied, almost instantly. "Ok, do you want to walk around the park or somewhere else?" I asked. "Hmmm," he thought for a second "the park sounds great." With that, we started walking. We walked, we talked, we ran, we laughed (like always). We talked about funny encounters with kids at school, with parents, with teachers, and his funny encounters with his sisters. 

I have to admit, it was really calming to have someone to talk to, even if I had only just met him today. It was nice to have anyone to talk to really, since I have no siblings, no dad, basically no mom because she's dead to me, and no friends. But now, I do have a friend, and he is amazing

Zigzag POV:

After a few minutes of having nothing to talk about Squid brought up something about animals which made me think about something, "Oh speaking of dogs, did you know about like 1 week or 2 ago some kid stole a dog from the pet store, and went to Camp Green Lake because of it?" "Oh my God really?" Squid replied trying his hardest to keep down his laughter. "Yeah, really. I have no idea how he thought he was going to get away with that," I said, smirking, knowing squid was going to have a laughing fit, "like what did he do? Did he just slip it under his shirt and walk out with a limp, acting like he was pregnant?"

 With those last few words we laughed again, I loved laughing with him I don't see how I could ever get bored of it. It was just so peaceful, it made me so happy. I loved every second I was in his presence, every second...

Squids POV:

Was priceless.
