Shrimpo's POV:
Grah. I thunk my head on my pillow, and roll over. I check at my fixed alarm clock, reading 10:05. Do I sleep this late? I feel groggy. And yet that stupid dog-plush thing won't get out of my head. Goob. I hate the way his name sounds. I hate his fur. I hate his hugs. I hate the way he saved me. I hate the way I talked to him. NO WHY DID I SAY THAT- UGHHH! I need a more sturdy surface to bash my head against. I throw my pillow, and get out of bed. I hit my head on the wall. It hurts, but I don't care. As long as I know what I'm thinking. I hit my head a few more times before I hear knocking on my door. My brain immediately goes, "Oh, it's Goob!", and I scrub that thought. Even if it was that idiot toon, what would I say? Get lost? The anonymous person knocks three more times, alerting me that they're there. I groan and open the door. "What do you want." I snap at them. Goob is at the door, and my heart feels happiness and anger. What am I even thinking of him at this point...
"Hey Shrimpo! I heard some thudding on the wall, is everything okay?" Goob asks me, with that goofy smile. My heart thinks it's cute, despite my attempts to push the thought away. Instead, I use my stereotypical personality.
"I was fine until you showed up." I growled back at him. My heart screams at me, "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT??" What is wrong with me?
"Oh... I heard some thunking on the wall, and you woke nearly everyone up. I just decided to check." He seems genuinely worried about me. A bit strange, if you ask me. No one cares about me.
"I'm fine, now get out." I grumbled.
"Are you sure that you don't need a hug, Shrimpy?" What- SHRIMPY???
"I DO NO-" I start to scream back at him, but he hugs me anyway. The hug somehow feels pleasant. I realize now. I have feelings for...him... I groan internally.
"Uh...Shrimpo? You can let go now." My face turns beet red. I'VE BEEN HUGGING HIM BACK ARE YOU SERIOUS OH MY GOD WHAT WILL HE TELL SCRAPS WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME-
Goob's POV:
Shrimpo doesn't let go. Oh I get it, he's trying to become nice! He owned up to his mistakes! Oh I get it I get it I get it! And he chose me to show his first act of kindness! How cute! I feel myself blushing and pluck Shrimpo's arms off of me. He jerks back to reality and brushes his arms on his shirt.
"Shrimpo-"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." He grumbles as he tries to push me out of the door.
"I just want to say-"
"Get out before I make you." Ugh. I just wanted to say that what he did was nice, and that it felt nice. Wait- what am I even thinking... I'll just go tell Scraps later.
"Bye Shrimpy~!" I coon back at him before he slams the door on me. I GOTTA tell Scraps about this one!
