(A/N: This Chapter is very gay and also has a song written in romaji, not english. Here's the key for the lyrics: Marie. Callie. Both. Thank you to everyone who has read so far and I hope you continue to enjoy this story as it progresses!)
The Plaza was looking absolutely beautiful. Lights were strung along the tops of stalls and burning paper lanterns were floating everywhere. There was food, there was music, there were decorations, there was dancing! Everything a festival needed! Parents were out enjoying the festival with their children, people were spending time with their loved ones and happiness was everywhere you turned. It truely felt like a festival. Marie and Callie weren't spending the festival doing fun things, rather, they were getting ready to perform later in the night. Bobble and Headphones were running off to see what was there, they found a little stall that was selling ice-cream. Specs wasn't really all into partying so he found a little bench near the temple and sat down. An octoling had walked up to him
"Mind if I sit down?" The octoling asked shyly. Specs nodded
"What cha reading there?" He asked. Specs showed him the cover of the book, it read 'Fragile Piece'. The octoling looked intrigued
"I've heard good things about that book. Oh, where are my manners? I'm Hachi" Specs looked blankly
"You're Hachi?!"
"U-uh? Yes?"
"I know about you! You turned my friend into a dragon!"
"You're friends with Goggles?"
"Yes! Best friends actually!" Specs exclaimed. Hachi looked down
"I haven't seen him since the incident... is he here?"
"He is actually, now where are my manners? I'm Specs" Specs held his hand out. Hachi looked confused. Specs realised and dropped his hand back to his side
"C'mon Hachi! I'll take you to him!" Specs said enthusiastically. Hachi stood up and followed Specs. Goggles was looking around for Rider, the lime-green squid had disappeared after Goggles went to get food. Specs and Hachi spotted him
"Hey! Goggles!" Specs called out. The dragon squid didn't listen, he was too lost in his thoughts of looking for Rider. Specs walked over towards Goggles, Hachi still following close behind. Goggles looked ahead to see Rider sitting on a nearby hill, leaning against a tree, looking out at a lake. He ran up the hill and sat down next to Rider. Hachi and Specs stopped at the bottom of the hill, Goggles and Rider only just in earshot
"Hey, why did you run off?" Goggles asked when Rider turned to face him
"Parties make me anxious..."
"This isn't a party! It's a festival!"
"Okay, let me rephrase that. Festivals make me anxious." Rider said as he rolled his eyes. Goggles laughed at his comment
"If you are feeling anxious, you can always talk to me"
"You promise?"
"Yeah, you can tell me anything! What else are friends for?" Goggles said with a smile. Rider couldn't help but smile back. They both turned to face the plaza as fire works started to go off. Goggles' eyes lit up as he watched the fireworks. He turned around to face Rider again
"Hey Rider-" He cut himself off once he realised how close their faces were
"Sorry!" They both apologised at the same time, both blushing intensely. Hachi and Specs were still at the bottom of the hill, watching and listening to everything. Goggles looked back up at Rider and he looked back. The two sat in silence, the fireworks had just become white noise to them
"So... nice night out huh?" Goggles said to break the awkward silence. Rider smiled
"Yeah, soothing..." Rider said quietly. Then it was straight back to awkward silence. The two turned to each other again, both subconsciously leaning in. Goggles suddenly pushed Rider away
"W-we shouldn't!"
"Why not?"
"I..." Goggles tried to speak as he looked back down. Rider gently grabbed Goggles' chin and pulled his head up
"Why shouldn't we?" Rider said with a smirk. Goggles sighed before grabbing the collar of Rider's shirt and pulling him into a kiss. Rider was shocked at first, but then kissed back, wrapping his arms around Goggles' waist. They stayed like that, in each other's embrace, for what seemed like forever even though it was only a few seconds. They pulled apart from each other and simply looked into each other's eyes
"T-that was... that was my first kiss..." Goggles managed to stutter out
"Did you enjoy it?"
"Yeah... I did..."
"What do you say we go and enjoy the rest of the festival together?"
"What? Like as a... couple?"
"If you want to"
"Of course I do!" Goggles yelled happily before hugging Rider tightly
"Would it be too early to say that I love you?" Rider said with a smirk
"Never!" Goggles squealed as he stood up, pulling Rider to his feet as well. Hachi and Specs were still watching from the bottom of the hill. Goggles started to run down the hill
"Race ya!"
"Hey! Get back here!"
"Well... that was heartwarming..." Specs said with a smile as he turned to Hachi. Hachi's eyes were basically glittering
"Inklings are allowed to fall in love?" Specs looked at Hachi, dumbfounded by his comment
"You aren't allowed to fall in love?" Specs asked as Hachi nodded
"Octolings aren't allowed to fall in love with other Octolings and God forbid an inkling!" Hachi exclaimed. He opened his mouth to speak again when they could hear loud cheering
"Oh! That's right! The princesses are performing tonight!" Specs said excitedly as he took Hachi's hand and they ran towards the stage on which Marie and Callie stood. They weren't wearing what they would usually wear, they were in something a bit different. Callie's outfit consisted of pink stockings, black boots and a black, sparkling, strapless outfit with little pink panels on the front. It wasn't a dress as the bottom was like a pair of shorts, having the two individual legs. Marie's was similar but green rather than pink but hers actually was a dress. Their hair was in the same style as usual, the bows. Everyone in the audience waited patiently until the curtains opened to reveal them
"Ya weni marei mirekyarahire, Juri yu mirekerason. Kire hyari yoriherahe nyurahera Nunnyura unera yurawera nyimerani!" The Princess sang in unison as they danced, causing the crowd to go wild
"Chopperipo shurashurafe Nannyurunire nifaferahi"
"Nannyuruni weranira shuraharahi. Nyurunirehara fe fe fe"
"Ya weni marei "
"mirekyara"
"Hire, Juri"
"Yu mirekerason"
"Kire"
"hyari"
"yoriherahe nyurahera"
"Nunnyura unera yurawera fimera"
"Na nire jute mirekyaraherya, Nire yu mirekerason. Kire hyari nuriherahe nyurahera, Nunnyura unera yurawera fimerani!"
All through the night, the squids partied all night and forgot all about what happened in Houzuki but it wouldn't stay that way for long...
