Splatoon x Male Reader

S3C Chapter 38: Affirmation

How about that Splatoon 3 Final Fest announcement, huh? I've got to say, this is definitely the hardest choice of any of the Final Fests for me so far. That said, I'm pretty sure I've already decided on Team Future. But that announcement was still so exciting looking with how it looks like they actually put a lot of effort into this part of Splatoon 3. AND THOSE FOUR NEW AMIIBOS? I'm so excited, while my wallet proceeds to cry even harder.

I know the Final Fest symbolizes the real end of the game (even if they do some Splatfest re-runs after it) but I can't help but be excited for the Final Fest itself rather than what comes after. So many questions going unanswered for now, but that uncertainty is what's so exciting. Okay, enough of me rambling about this stuff and onto the new chapter.

Veronica POV

(Y/N) and Veronica were walking back home on their own, Veronica refusing to let go of (Y/N)'s hand.

(Y/N): Not that it bothers me, but is it really necessary for you to hold my hand the entire way back home?

Veronica: Liz told me, "Make sure he gets home safely and doesn't get into any trouble," which is exactly what I plan on doing. Captain's orders.

She said while saluting using the hand that held his hand.

(Y/N) chuckled.

(Y/N): Can't argue with Captain's orders.

He was quickly cut off by Veronica holding him back as she stopped him just before the light stoplight turned red.

(Y/N): It was still yellow for a few seconds, we could've made it.

Veronica shook her head.

Veronica: No. Too risky.

(Y/N): You really take your protection duty seriously, huh?

Veronica nodded.

Veronica: Danger could be lurking around any corner.

She said as suddenly a loud noise appeared next to them causing Veronica to instinctively jump in front of (Y/N) protectively before the two saw the motorcycle stopped in front of them.

Veronica relaxed a bit as she and (Y/N) both recognized the figure as the woman on the motorcycle popped up the visor on her helmet.

Marina: Hey, I was just on my way to your house.

Veronica: The surprise is on the other tentacle now.

(Y/N): What were you on your way to our place for?

Marina: Well, I wanted to see how you two were doing. And, specifically, I was going to see if you were free.

She said "you" while pointing her finger over at (Y/N), causing Veronica to look at him and back to Marina again.

(Y/N): Me? What for?

Marina: Well... it's been a while since you and I have had some one-on-one time, so I wanted to make the first move.

She said while embarrassingly looking away a bit as Veronica thought she caught a slight glimpse of the ink rushing to her cheeks.

(Y/N): I'd love to, but...

He looked over to Veronica who turned to face him.

(Y/N): I'd have to get permission from this one here.

He said with a smile as he raised the hand up that she held onto his hand.

Veronica pouted a bit.

Veronica: But Liz told me to make sure you get home... safely. And motorcycles can be dangerous...
