S2C Chapter 42: Christmas Shopping

So, this will probably be the last chapter before the Christmas special chapter. The Christmas special chapter will (if everything goes according to plan) be released Christmas morning.

(Y/N) POV

(Y/N) was shuffling in his sleep. He was having a cold sweat. He must've been having a nightmare. He then sat up quickly while breathing heavily for a few seconds.

(Y/N): Huh? What time is it?

He said quietly while rubbing his eyes. He saw Pearl, Marina, Callie, Marie, Elizabeth, and Veronica sleeping all across the couch as well. He pulled out his phone and saw that it was a little early in the morning; the sun wasn't even up yet. After he saw them, he calmed down a bit, rubbing his hand over his head while letting out one last breath to calm down.

(Y/N) stood up and covered the girls all up with a blanket.

He walked out of the gaming room and toward the kitchen. When he arrived there, he saw that the Cap'n was up and getting himself something to eat.

(Y/N): Cap'n? What're you doing up so early?

Cuttlefish: Huh? Oh! 4, it's great to see you up so early. To answer your question, you youngins sleep way too much. I get up early to start my day.

(Y/N): I see. (You do you I guess.) So, what're you doing?

Cuttlefish: I was gonna head back to Octo Canyon to get back to work, but I decided to get some breakfast before I left.

(Y/N): Ah. Raid their food before you leave. Smart move.

Cuttlefish: Thanks!

He spoke before digging into his food.

(Y/N) let out a short chuckle at this as he made a quick bowl of cereal and went to the living room couch and started watching TV.

Not too much later, the Cap'n started walking toward the front door to leave, causing (Y/N) to turn his head.

Cuttlefish: Well, I'll be seeing you, 4!

(Y/N): So long, Cap'n.

He gave a joking salute with one arm as he used the other to hold his bowl.

The Cap'n smiled, I think... It's hard to tell because of his beard, and left.

(Y/N) turned back to the TV and continued eating.

~~~

(Y/N) had suddenly been awakened by something heavy landing on his lap. His eyes shot open to see Pearl was sitting on his lap with a smile on her face.

(Y/N): Pearl!... What time is it?

Pearl: It's morning, of course.

(Y/N) looked around.

(Y/N): Where's everyone else?

Pearl started repositioning herself to lay across his legs on her back as she gave him her answer.

Pearl: Eight asked Marina if she could take her to go shopping for gifts and Three went with Callie & Marie to go shopping.

(Y/N): (Oh shoot! I forgot I need to get them gifts!)

(Y/N) looked down at Pearl.

(Y/N): Why aren't you shopping?

Pearl: I already got everyone their gifts.
