Shrimpo wasn't exactly.. the most liked toon in the world, always angry, he was always like a bomb ready to be set off over every little thing, his cheeks were always puffed angrily.
And his stats didn't help out that much either, everything about him was 1 STAR.
His exaction speed? 1 star. His movement speed? 1 star. Stealth? 1 Star. He was weak to say the least, don't tell him that to his face, he will explode.
So the other toons had to find a toon that was willing to deal with Shrimpo. Who else better than Goob? He's nice, understanding, and most importantly can save Shrimpo from getting himself killed.
Shrimpo was completely against it or well seemed to.
" YOU'RE PAIRING ME WITH THAT STUPID GOOFBALL?? HOW COULD YOU?? I'M SHRIMPO. I WONT NEED PROTECTION. "
And that's of angry ramblings from a shrimp, Astro just nodded calmly and slowly walked away, he really didn't want to deal with Shrimpo and let Goob deal with that.
Goob just smiled at Shrimpo. " Hi Shrimpo! "
And then Goob was cut off by a angry shrimp.
" I DONT NEED YOU TO PROTECT YOU.. HUGGER!! GO DIE IN A HOLE!! "
Goob just smiled, none of those words affected him, he just gently picked up shrimpo with his stretchy arms. "
Cmon Shrimpo! Let's go find some machines. "
Shrimpo just gasped and struggled. " LET ME GO YOU GOOFBALL!!! "
Goob just smiled at the yelling shrimp, and led him to a machine. " my paws aren't the best at doing machines, can you do them Shrimpo? "
Shrimpo just snickered and started doing the machines, they weren't the best at it either, they smacked their head against the machine while doing it.
Goob looked concerned and smiled. " Oh Shrimpo... " He gently stopped Shrimpo from smacking his fishy head. " I'll teach you how to do the machines!! Scraps helped me learn. "
Shrimpo, Being Shrimpo protested. " I'M SHRIMPO!! I DONT NEED TEACHING!!! "
Goob just smiled and spoke. " watch me and try to copy it. " Goob said, starting to do the machines, giving small instructions to Shrimpo, who didn't seem like was listening, but he was secretly.
Soon enough, Shrimpo tried to do the machines, and he stopped smacking his head and doing the machine slightly better.
" I HATE MACHINES!! "
Shrimpo finished the machine and Goob smiled happily. " Yay!! You did it! " Goob hugged Shrimpo despite his angry mumbling.
But in true honesty, Shrimpo liked the hugging, no one even tried to hug him before because of his angry nature.
But wait, HE WAS SHRIMPO, HE DIDNT LIKE ANYTHING OR ANYONE, HE DIDNT NEED ANYONE.
His angry walls were breaking before he knew it, ugh he hated admitting that it sounds like a vent channel.
To speak of it, Shrimpo's voice was tired of going off on everyone like a angry teacher, he just slowly leaned into Goob's touch.
" are you finally starting to like my hugs? "
OH MY GOD, Shrimpo's ego cannot take teasing from this furball.
" NO I'D- " Shrimpo stopped as he heard a twisted's footstep, and leaned into Goob instinctively, with his shitty stealth he had to stay quiet.
Goob just smiled as they won, pulling Shrimpo closer as he watches out for twisteds.
And soon enough the furball would start to hear soft and quiet snores from the angry shrimp.
