Squidward's Silent Love (Squidward X Silent! Reader (Broadway version))

Chapter Fifteen: Mama Tentacles

(Y/N)'s POV:

Last night, Spongebob came over to my house and told me that Squidward was in the hospital because he ate too many Krabby Patties and he blew up. So, this morning I went over to his mother's house to tell her the news. I knocked on the door and waited. When his mother opened the door, I took in her details. She was a little wrinkly, she had almost white hair, wore glasses, a pink dress with pink slippers, her skin was the same colour as Squidward's and she looked like a really nice lady.

"Hello my dear," she greeted, "how can I help you?"

I gave her the whiteboard that I had prepared, handed it to her and told her, 'hello, Mrs Tentacles, my name is (Y/N) (L/N). I'm a friend of your son, Squidward. My next-door neighbour, Spongebob, told me last night that your son ate too many Krabby Patties and blew up. He's currently in hospital so I thought I'd tell you.'

"Oh, so you're the (Y/N) I've heard so much about. Nice to meet you finally," Mrs. Tentacles handed my whiteboard back, "my son hasn't been causing you any trouble, has he?"

I shook my hand in a so-so way.

"Well then, let's go visit him."

We took my boat to the hospital and asked to see him. The nurse took us to Squidward who was asleep in the hospital bed with an IV in his arm.

"Even after he was blown up, he's still my pretty squid," Mrs Tentacles said.

I gave out a silent laugh. Pretty squid?! Never had that one before.

'Another name I can tease him with when he wakes up,' I told her.

"What name do you tease him with now?" She asked.

'Squiddy. Squilliam called him that when I first met him.'

"Squilliam was never nice to him."

'I know. I had to calm Squidward down after Squilliam caught him lying and he then lied about not being rich.'

"(Y/N), thank you for taking care of my boy."

I gave a nod just as I heard Squidward tiredly groan. I looked over at Squidward who gave a little scream when he saw us.

"M-M-Mama? (Y-Y/N)?"

'Morning Mama's pretty squid,' I said.

"Mumsy, did you call me that in front of her?"

"You're my little boy, why wouldn't I?" His mum asked.

"I'm not your little boy anymore Mama," Squidward told her crossing his arms and looked away.

'Let her call you that, Squidward,' I told him, 'if you're her little boy, then you're her little boy.'

"Yeah, I am Mama's little boy," Squidward said hugging his legs, "also, (Y/N), did you tell her about you know what?"

'The crane incident?' I asked.

"Yes, that."

I shook my head but his mother was curious, "about what?"

"Nothing Mama."

'She'll find out eventually, just tell her or I will,' I said.

Squidward whimpered before telling his mum about that day and she was not happy but, she thanked me for taking care of him. Squidward apologised to his mother about being stupid and she said it was alright just don't do it again and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek to which he blushed.
