Itchin' For an Urchin (Spyke x Reader)

Itching For an Urchin

"Another nice day!" You said as you gazed up at the sun as it shined over the city you've called home for two years now. Inkopolis.

You had come here like any other inkling and made a name for yourself as one of the freshest inkings to ever play turf war. You had no reason to come to Inkopolis, and you didn't expect the amount of fame you would gain on the battlefield. But you weren't complaining.

You walked though the square watching other Inklings so about their business when you noticed a group of inklings walk into an ally, fallowing a smaller and much less fresh peer.

Now, some say you have an almost 6th sense when it comes to trouble and these guys were setting off all the alarms in your head. You went after them into the mysterious ally with your trusty Aerospray RG.

Spraying a little puddle of ink onto the ground and jumping into it you watched the group, ready to pounce on them at the first sign of trouble.

The leader of the little group grabbed the small inkling by the soulder and forced them around.

"Hey pipsqueek give us all your coins right now!"

"W-wha- but w-why!!?" the smaller inkling asked trembling.

"Cause we wanna buy some new gear, and besides theres no way you'll ever be a fresh as us. So those coins are wasted in you hands." the punk laughed and pointed an N-Zap '89 at the small inkling. "Or I could just splat ya' and take them myself."

This was very amusing for the punks friends as they all burst out laughing while the smaller inkling started to cry.

Just as you were about to leap from your puddle, a tall figure lept from the shadows and smacked the N-Zap out of the punks hands with lightning speed. The weapon was then pointed at the goup and opened fire. Not a shot landed on them but they all skattered like scared Salmonids and fled.

The figure, now fully visible in the light was a very tall Urchin wearing a poncho and some tight kakis. He glared in the direction of the bullies and kneled down in frount of the small inkling, who stood in awe of the entire situation.

"'Ere you go mate." the urchin handed the N-Zap to the inkling. "This'll be better in your hands then theirs, yah."

He stood up and took a step away from the inkling as they squeaked out a quick 'thank you' and jogged farther down the ally and out of sight, presumably to their home. The urchin slunk back into the shadows of the ally and sat down on a mat in the corner.

You on the other hand were stunned, who was this stranger with such skills! You didn't recall facing anyone on the battlefield with that much speed, much less an urchin.

You quickly dashed back around the corner to avoid being spotted by him. Or at least that was the plan, what you didn't expect was for him to grab you mid air and turn you around.

What you were met with you would forget. Holy carp... this man had some looks. His spikes were neat and had suble underlaying colors then just black or dark blue, but the main attraction was his eye, the purple ringing his green iris really made them pop. Coupled with the dark eyeliner around his eye. Well, its a good thing he was holding you, cause you were a little weak in the knees.

Speaking of which why was he holding you...

"Enjoy the show? Or do I need ta send ya runnin' like the rest a' your frien's," he glared at you. Oh no! He thought you were with the punks he just chased away.

"No no no! I'm not their friend at all! I was about to try to help that little kid before you stepped in." You said as you tried to calm your frantic heartbeat. Was it getting warmer out?

The urchin paused for a moment and regarded you. Sighing he put you down and stepped back.

"Sorry luv." Oh my god, he called you love. "Thought you were with the riff raff."

"Oh its alright," you waved it off and smiled. "No harm. I'm (Y/N)! Who might you be?"

"Name's Spyke, mate." He smiled and went back to his mat. You walked with him and sat next to some strange shells he had piled up on both sides of him. Some empty and some with a small blue creature inside.

"What are you doing in the ally?"

"Are ya a cop or somfin?" He seemed to lean away from you and your questions.

"Nope just curious."

"Ah... well I run a little buisness here. I reroll and add abilities to gear for Super Sea Snails." He gestured to the shells around him.

"Why snails?" You asked, picking up one of the empty shell and peaking inside.

"Urchin's eat snails, luv. Not much else we can eat. I get the snails, and give away the extra."

You gasped and stared at him in awe. "Wow! That's super cool of you!"

Spyke's cheeks turned a little purple at that comment and he smiled a little. "Thanks luv. Means a lot."

You stood up and brushed yourself off.

"Well if I ever find some sea snails I'll be sure to give 'em to you!"

"For some gear?" he asked as you aproched him.

"Nope!" You leaned foward and gave him a quick kiss on his exposed cheek. "To repay you for that."

Spyke's face turned compleatly purple from blush as you walked calmly out of the ally with your own blush plastered on your face.

The only thought on your mind being, how many will I need to get a kiss on the lips?

Ok so I might have a bit of a thing for Spyke. But can you blame me? That eye and those spikes though. *sigh* So hot.

So I have a headcannon that urchins (in Splatoon) can only really eat sea snails. And Spyke give away the extra sea snails that he gets from us to other urchins or food banks of some kind. Idk, its a little bit of a work in progress.

Thank you for reading this, please leave a comment and vote. As always have a nice day! :D
