Only One Left ( Male Human Reader x Splatoon ) (18+, Harem)

Chapter 8: Acceptance

For those who thought there was something wrong, there was, I unpublished the chapter because it wasn't finsihed yet.

Your POV

Right now I was wearing Apex and I was fighting, me and Four was trying to take down the Octostomp. The one that looks like a giant cube with a face of an Octarian on it. I was shooting off one of the straps to take off the cover that was protecting the tentacle while Four distracts it.

As the strap finally melted, I took the chance to ram the Ocotstomp and caused it to get knocked down. Four then shot ink on the side of the Octostomp so that she could scale the height and reach the tentacle. She then shot ink towards the tentacle causing it to explode.

Y/N: Whoo! Go Four!

She then jumped off the Octostomp as it starts to malfunction and go haywire. It then exploded into pieces and it got us covered in ink. The green one, not the purple or violet one. Four simply shook her body to removed the ink while I have to take a damn bath after this.

Both of us walked closer to the Zapfish. I gestured her to walk up to it and take it. She happily smiled and went to the Zapfish. She then grabbed it and adorably hugged it. I couldn't help but smile at how adorable she looks when she's like this. We walked back to the Kettle and made our way back.

Timeskip

We arrived at the Outpost a few minutes later, we saw Marie in the shack, as usual. Four walked up to her and handed her the Zapfish. She then walked to the grates and she turned into her Squid Form and passed through, leaving me and Marie behind.

Marie closed her parasol and I removed my helmet amd I walked up to her d smiled, she smiled back...then she hit me with the parasol in the head.

Y/N *bonk* Ow! What was that for?!

Marie: That's for almost getting ran over!

Y/N: What are you talking about?!

Marie: Your little stunt when you went under two trucks to chase after Marina of Off The Hook! You almost got ran over!

Y/N: One, I'm sorry, I had to take any options I had. Two, I've done that before many times. Three, I'm sorry I scared you.

Marie: You better be!

She was about to hit me with the parasol again but I caught it with my hand. I gently removed her hands off of it and I noticed...she was crying. Ah shit. The first girl that liked you and you already made her cry...good job idiot.

Marie: *sniff* I don't want to lose you too! Gramps is away right now and I don't know when he'll be back, and Callie is kidnapped! *sniff* I just can't be alone again!
Then I gently wrapped my arms around her and she wrapped her arms around my torso, engaging a tight hug. She was crying on my chest and I kept patting her back to let it all out and calm her down.

Y/N: Shhhhh...it's okay. I'm here. I won't be gone, I promise you. I'm sorry I scared you, okay? That's just how I am...a reckless, adrenaline filled person.

Marie: Just...please...*sniff* be careful.

Then I cupped my hands in her cheeks and I stared into her eyes. I used my thumb to wipe away her tears and I gave her a kiss on the forehead. She put her hand on top of mine as we kept hugging each other.

Y/N: Tell you what? I'll clear out more areas today...just to make things easier, how's that sound?

Marie: *sniff* That would be quite helpful.

I just smiled and hugged her again, then she tightened her hug every second. Then I broke the hug and I put my helmet back on. I then went to one of the Tea Kettles and I lifted up the grates. I jumped down the tunnel and made my way to the next area.
