erased ; a splatoon fanfiction

//:7-[Reaching_Out]

Castor stayed home for almost the entire day the next day, waiting for Pollux to arrive back from the hospital. He'd either talk to the Orbiters on his phone, scroll through social media, or eat food and snacks.

He even went out for a few hours to go shopping for new gear, since he felt so guilty about ruining his cousin's with sweat stains and dirt all the time. He washed the gear that him and Pollux used in their battle against OfB.

  Castor ended up with his own headgear, clothes and shoes in his closet, in the room that Ganymede and Elara prepared for the Gemini twins. He also picked some gear up for Pollux too, some he'd think she'd like. He even worked a few shifts at Grizzco Industries to get some of the gear he picked up.

Pollux came back at around 6:15. Castor was laying on his bed, scrolling through the internet, when Elara called up to Castor.

"Castor! Pollux is back from the hospital!"

  The inkling boy jumped up immediately. He ran down the stairs and into the front entrance, where Pollux was standing. He, as quick as the Flash, hugged his little sister tightly.

"Gah! B-big brother! Too tight! You're touching a burn, it really hurts!!" Pollux squealed, but she couldn't help but laugh. Castor missed Pollux; He never realized it until she went to the hospital.

"Oh. Sorry." Castor pulled his arms away. He told Pollux that he got her new gear, as long as new gear for himself too.

He changed into his Squid Facemask, Annaki Evolution Tee, and Arrow Pull-ons. Pollux wore her White Tee and Toni Kensa Hi-Tops, but needed to wear a Sneaky Beanie because of the mask that came with the beanie.

This is because she's still aware that she could still cough up more ink at any time. It'll take about two weeks for all the ink to go away.

Why can't OfB just get arrested already?! They've hurt Pollux!

... Sorry. Carrying on now.

Pollux told Castor that she wanted to go to Inkopolis Square again, and Castor agreed. Castor also told her that he met the S4 while she was gone.

  Let's say all the glass in a 5 mile radius didn't stay intact for long.

"Holy Callie-marie, calm down, we'll probably run into them in the Square. Don't worry." Castor smirked, pushing the front door open and walking outside. Pollux followed right behind him, locking the door.

  On the train ride there, Pollux asked Castor if anything big happened since she was gone.

"Well, there was one thing." Castor stretched his arms out, high in the air. "I caught Sapphire going into a manhole. He was wearing really big black and orange boots. He was wearing more flashier headphones around his head and ears, and he was wearing a really bright neon yellow jacket. It hurt my eyes, being real honest here."

  "Wow," Pollux looked down at her Toni Kensa Hi-Tops. "let's ask him what that's all about at Inkopolis."

"Whatever you say, little sister." Castor growled lightly, looking out the train window. The small stream of water was sparkling. "But I'm telling you, he seemed pre-tty sketchy."

She furrowed her eyebrows at her older brother, but shrugged it off and started playing games on her phone.

Soon, it was the stop for Inkopolis Square. The two of them got off, chatting about random topics and subjects. And soon, they opened the yellow gate and closed it back, immersing themselves in the Square.

"I missed this place!" Pollux breathed, smiling at the bright lights and colours. Teams poured in and out of Deca Tower, always soaked in ink, and smiles on their faces.
