( 3rd person P.O.V )

Squidward Tentacles stood at the cash register inside the small, sunken boat. He was tired, bored, annoyed. Annoyed at the shorter, Yellow sponge behind the grill? No. The octopus was annoyed at himself, he had fallen for an angel far out of his reach, and,only to make matters worse, he covered up his feelings severely with built up hatred for himself and projecting them towards the sea sponge.
"Order up Squiddy!" Spongebob smiled at him.
"Alright, alright..." He takes the order and brings it to another customer, the 17th customer that day to be exact. He finally walks back to his post and was greeted by the sound of sizzling and grilled goods. He spaces out to the noises in the kitchen behind him

"Hey, uh... are you ok?" An anonymous fish asked. Squiddy didn't realise but, from his intense daydreaming, he had gone blank had stood still for an uneasy amount of time with a single tear falling down his face.
"What? Oh, sorry sir, how may I help you?" He was almost completely out of it, he was deprived of sleep and overall depressed.
"Uh... I asked if you were doing alright..."
"I'm fine, just... tell me your order." The male fish says his order and finds a seat.
How nice Squidward thought a person who actually cares how I feel... he almost smiles but then goes back to his thoughts besides Spongebob of course... oh... Spongebob, what an annoying, weird, creepy, energetic, adorable, sweet, charming, caring- "SHIT!"
His words left his mouth before he could protest. People stared in confusion, parents blocking their children's 'ears'.
"Sorry! Uh... I'm going on my break" He walks off to the bathroom stalls, he can't keep it in anymore.

"Godamnit" He says as he sits on the toilet seat. "I can't keep this up for much longer... he probably thinks I hate him... Of course he thinks I hate him! Why wouldn't he? He's been putting up with this mess for years, living next to me, working with me and even trying to hang out with me." He vents to the poster on the back of the stall door.
"I don't know why he doesn't hate me! Everyone hates me! Mr. Krabs, Sandy, Old man Jenkins, Larry the Lobster, Frank, Patrick, HELL, Even I hate me! All I wanna do is feel happy... I want someone to hold when im feeling like trash, someone to hold when something goes wrong, someone who can hold me back..." He just stared at the poster as he spoke, letting the small tears roll down his teal cheeks. "I want to be happy... But, I don't wanna scare him. He always tries to cheer me up, always so optimistic and joyful all the time. I wish I could tell him how I feel, how I was sorry about the hate he had to put up with, sorry about the mess I've been lately all because I've been questioning my very existence, sorry about how my love-crazy state had me turn into a jerk, sorry about...me... *sigh* I better get out there" He's had enough of self loathing, he gets up and walks out of the bathrooms.

Silence

Everyone in the restaurant was staring at the cephalopod who just eyed the crowd in shock.
"Squiddy... I don't hate you... No one here hates you!" The yellow sponge states with a look of concern on his face as he eyes the cashier.
SHIT
Everyone had heard him talking to himself, even the flamboyant fry cook he came to love so much.
"W-what? I... I-I..." He's at a lost for words. Spongebob only reacts to this with a tight hug. This is what he was missing, someone to love who loves him back, he just held onto him. No words were spoken throughout the interaction besides the confused customers. The two break away and stare at each other.
"Sorry... I really wish I wasn't so loud." Squidward smiles, Spongebob smiles with him.
"What does this mean..?"
"I dunno... I guess we're together..?" The sponge reply's.
"...Cool." Squiddy says as he turns back to his work post behind the cash register. He smiles.

What a weird day
