Boring. This day is pure boredom, but then again, how is your day going to be boring when you have an annoying sponge right behind you making burgers?

"Mmmph.." he let out a small groan, not trying to cause any attention, he really didn't want to hear Spongebob's voice right now. He just wants this day to end already, he really didn't like his job, he's so unhappy with life, or is he?

"Squidward! Are you bored?" oh, great.. speaking of the devil, he finally opened his bothersome mouth, he sounded so intrigued and.. he could feel the sponge wanting to ask another question. He really didn't want to be apart of this.

"What does it seem like?" Squidward rolled his eyes with a sarcastic tone and a frown on his face, he faced Spongebob and leaned onto the side of the boat, well, boat-register I suppose you would call it.

"Mm.. it sure does seem like it! Wanna play a game?" so energetic, so full of life.. huh.. why is the squid getting familiar vibes of his tone? Why does it sound so.. nostalgic?

He scrunched up his nose, clearly bothered but hit him with a remark, "Does it involve you shutting up?"

Spongebob let out a huge burst of laughter, you know, his very annoying laugh? Yeah, that, was he supposed to sound like a dolphin or something? Squidward sure didn't know, but he knows that his laughter will be the death of him one day. "You're so funny Squiddy!"

He shrugged with still a frown on his face, for some reason, he really didn't like how this nickname was in Spongebob's mouth all the, flipping time. "Let's just kill time before I kill mine with boredom."

What could be the damn worst, he thought, he knew that Spongebob was the type to come up with very childish games that didn't have much to think about, he knows the sponge so well.

"Alrighty! Let's.. ask each other questions to get to know each other!" uh, don't they both know each other very well? Why did it feel like Spongebob was secretly waiting for this moment to come, why did it feel like.. he already has so many questions for him?

"We gotta tell the absolute truth!" he continued, then smiled at Squidward which just made him look down at the floor as he nodded, oh barnacle.. in what did he get into? He knows he can't back down or else this kid will burst into tears.

"Sure, whatever. I don't have anymore dignity you know.." he once again, rolled his eyes, then tried to look back at him, trying to tell him with his little glance to start asking already.

"Oh! What's your favorite color?" really.. starting off with the stupid icebreaker you find at typical meetings with strangers you completely don't care about and don't even like because fuck no?

"Mnmn.. turquoise, sometimes yellow is fine." he quickly looked at Spongebob, who already had notes in his hand and put down what Squidward said.. he.. really wanted to memorize this..

"Now you ask me!"

"Oh, uh, right.. why are you so annoying?"

"Silly Squidward! I'm annoying because I want others to not feel alone, it's honestly really scary when you're all by yourself you know? I have to annoy some people to remind them that they're not alone in Bikini Bottom!" ah barnacle.. why does he have to make everything so wholesome yet so annoying? It was nice to hear something like that, but it just bothered him knowing that.. he's such a jerk to this sponge, but.. doesn't he actually deserve it? Well.. no, he doesn't.

"Have you ever considered that maybe others like being alone?"

"You can't ask two questions in a row!"

Answer, my, question.. was all that Squidward could think, he just wanted him to take a stupid clue already! He wants to be alone, he needs to be alone.
