Taking It Slow (BobbleMask)

Chapter 3

          Finally, Bobble Hat faces Mask on the left side of the bridge: "I'm going to wipe that stuuupid smile of your face!" says Mask, threateningly. Bobble, slightly annoyed from his repetitive insults, exclaims, "No you won't!" "Grrrhhh..." Mask drops his weapon. Confused, Bobble drops hers too. Mask starts to menacingly approach Bobble Hat. Afraid, she starts to walk backwards, yet she still smiles brightly. Eventually, Mask towers over her while Bobble sits in a corner, helpless. She drops her happy face and begins to cry. Seeing her unhappy made Mask feel extremely powerful. After a while of triumphantly watching Bobble Hat cower in the corner, Mask starts to feel bad for his actions. In an attempt to comfort her, he reaches down with his hand. "H-Heyy..." Bobble slaps his hand away without hesitation. Mask flinched at this action because it was such an unnatural reaction from Bobble Hat, the happiest inkling there is! Seeing Bobble being anything other than happy used to be such a pleasing thought to Mask, but now that it's actually happening, it's so strange and unusual and so... so depressing. "You wanted me like this in the first place, so don't try to comfort me when this is your fault!" Bobble cries. Not knowing what to do anymore Mask slowly walks away from the sad inkling, until he feels someone grab his wrist. "You aren't going anywhere, Mask." Bobble speaks in a low, unhappy voice, "I need to figure you out." Mask puts on a confused expression, until she questions, "Why do you hate me so much?" Mask thought about it for a second. "Uuhh..." Bobble becomes angrier, "Mask, I've been nice and polite to you ever since I met you in the first place! And after that last match we had at , I can't get the thought out of my had that—." Bobble pauses. "I can't get the thought out of my head that you are a good person." Mask blushes under his gas mask. No one has ever called Mask a "good person". It's always "The S4's Mask" or "Team Cyan's Depressed Captain". Soon, his shock turns into anger. "Are you calling me weeaaak!?" Mask shouts. Bobble, surprised with his reaction, replies,"W-WHAT! No, no being good isn't a—." Mask grumbles as he grabs his carbon roller and furiously swings it at her. Bobble Hat, not knowing what to do, stands there helplessly. Before the final swing, Bobble sees a burst of cyan and blue ink explode before her eyes.

 Hello, author here! Another cliffhanger I guess, but you probably know what's coming next lmao. Well, hopefully you all are enjoying the story! I see about 35 people have read it, so I just wanted to thank you for reading this story! I know it hasn't been really about Bobble or Mask in the past few chapters, but that's because I don't want to rush things. I've read a few BobbleMask fan-fictions where Bobble or Mask immediately say "I love you" to each other, but I don't really understand that because, canonically, Bobble doesn't have any relationships with Mask. So I guess you could say I'm trying to be as realistic as I can haha. Thank you all for being so patient with this story, and remember to stay tuned!
