Meggy x Tari One-Shot Collection

'Just Ask Her, Meggy...'

This is all Meggy's point of view oof

~~~~~~~~~~

I was visiting Tari's place, and nothing seems off putting...unless you count her shelves worth of rubber ducks and Amiibos for all the gastedly consoles she has. I could make a list of how many consoles this nut has. NES, Nintendo 64, GameBoy Color, DS, 3DS, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, XBox 360, PlayStation 4, the list goes on. I swear her TV probably has serious PTSD.
But I was watching her play this game called Super Mario 3D World. She said she really loved it. I guess she has a love for the cat suit.
And I sort of looked away from the screen and at her face. Her gorgeous face. She usually has the blackest eyebrows and eyelashes, but I guess she feels comfortable enough around me to not wear makeup.
I admired her blue everything. Lashes, eyebrows, hair. And those pink cheeks. Her cheeks were adorably round when she smiled. That damn smile. Never fails to make me warm.
I know what you're thinking...but Meggy, aren't you supposed to be asexual?
Im not. We're only like that on the show, but outside of it all, im a bit of a bisexual squid. Yeah, I do admire the skills and aspects of male inklings...but I still do sometimes eye a girl or two...
But Tari has always been a consistent one.
Something about her...be it her fun and shy personality all the way to how refined she is in both personality and figure.
She's a real treat.
And just like a five year old when given a pack of Oreos, I want her all to myself.
But I never found my path to tell her. If Luke was near, he'd distract me, if Mario was near, he'd say some dumb shit and ruin the moment, and oh boy.
Saiko.
I had a distaste for that woman. She was 21, but still hit on 16-year-old Tari. Even if it was legal, Saiko was way out of Tari's league. Who would date a psychopath?
As I watched Tari play her game, I wondered how she swings...do I even have a chance?
I mustered up the courage to speak up and ask her "Hey...Tari. Can I tell you something? Its a secret I don't tell many people...but you feel close enough to know."
Tari just looked at me for a moment, confused. But she paused her game, putting down the gamepad, and turned my way.
Now is the time. Speak, Meggy, use human words.
When I say human words, I mean English. It may just sound like gargled to you, but for an Inkling to learn English...it was harsh.
But it was all worth it because I get to talk to beauty.
"Of course, Meggy. You can say anything to me."
I have her attention. I have her attention...
"I may or may not be into girls as much as I am guys."
Great wording. Not the best speaker, but I tried.
She didn't reply for a moment, which I thought was silent judgment. But then she got a soft smile.
"That's great! Your admitting to being yourself. Im the same way...except guys have never been my alleyway."
Tari chuckled, looking a little nervous. I never expected it. The British Gaming Cyborg is a lesbian.
"That's a neat shocker. Guess we have a shared lifestyle."
I shook Tari's cold, metal hand. We kept staring each other in the eyes.
"Meggy...May I-"
I stopped Tari before I let anymore words come out of her mouth.
Another minute of silence whizzed by, my finger pressed against her lips, her plump bright red lips. They were natural...
"Tari the Meta Runner, will you go out on a date with me?"
There. Holy crap. I said it. I asked it. How will she respond? She's not speaking...oh wait...
I took my finger off her lips.
"Of course Meggy..."
I felt Tari reach out, and brush my tentacle behind my ears. She looked even more gorgeous up close.
And all that gorgeous is mine for tonight.
