No one's POV:
[Y/n] has always seemed to be a very perky [I/o] (inkling/Octoling). They always cheered for their teammates and every time their team lost. they'd smile and improve! Though looks can be deceiving. Very deceiving.

     "Heeeeeeeey! [Y/n] Come here!" [T/n/1] called out to them. He was waving his arms around like a noodle. "Huuuurrrrryyyyy!"

Y/n's POV:
     "I'm coming I'm coming you big goon!" I laughed happily. My teammates have always been a blast to be around. And today was the day we call- team bonding day! We go out and do this together as a team. We do this every month. At least once or twice just to keep our bonds strong. Though we do it all the time.

"So! Where are we going today?" I asked, putting my hands on my hips. My eyes wondered around the square, looking at all the possibilities that were available. Plus we could leave the square to find something else.

"Oh oh! I was thinking we could go to the amusement park! The one down the road by that clothing shop that Emperor and his team shop at." [T/n/3] suggested. She'd always be shy so she was rubbing her arms nervously.

"Yeah let's do that" [T/n/2] smiled and pumped a fist in the air cheerfully.

We all headed down to the amusement park and holy carp it was packed. I sighed. "This is gonna be hard to get around."

I started to feel anxious, but I could let my teammates see.. I feel like they would just be sad if they saw me like this.

"[Y/n]...? [Y/n]! [Y/N]!!!!!" One of my teammates called out and I snapped back into reality.

"H-huh??" I looked around a bit confused

"Where do you want to go first?" [T/n/3] asked politely. And I looked confused.

"Why ask me? I want this day to be about you guys! I may be the leader, but it's not all about me" I smiled. Patting each teammate on the head.

"You make this harder than in needs to be!" [T/n/1] joked a little but internally it kinda hurt..

"[Y/n].. aren't you hot in that?" The shyest teammate spoke up. She referred to my hoodie I was wearing. Yes I was hot in it and wanted to take it off but if I did this fun day would be stopped and turned sad.

"Nope! I'm actually warm in this! But thanks for caring" I half-smiled. Turning away from them.

"Alrightyyy! Now! I was thinking we could go on the zipper!" One of them said. Skipping to the ride who's line was decently short for this ride.

"Yeah!" The other two agreed following behind.

"Uh guys..?" I said, they all turned around and I sighed "I'm not really feeling good today.. I'll text ya later!" I finished that sentence ecstatically to not keep suspicions on high. I waved and walked off.

How do they do it..? How do they stay so happy when my happiness is crumbling.. I rubbed my eyes of tears that wanted to flow down my cheeks.

"I hate being sad for no fricken reason!" I half yelled, half whispered to myself. I ran towards the exit of the amusement park before ramming into an inkling.

He turned around immediately and looked down to me. He even extended his hand. "Sorry! I didn't see you there" he looked like he felt awful.

"N-no it's fine. I-I'm sorry for running into you." I tried smiling but it was pointless. "If you'll " I hiccuped "excuse me." Then I sprinted off. Dodging other inklings and octolings till I found a safe spot in an alleyway.

I broke down crying my eyes out. "Why am I like this. Why does life hate me so much!!" I punched the wall till my knuckles were bloody.

"I get bullied. I get teased. I get the bad end if the stick in almost everything. What the hell did I do?!" I inhaled a long deep breath, taking out a pocket knife, and rolling up my sleeves. I sliced my arm.

Next to the other cuts that have somewhat healed but we're recent enough they still were red and scabbed over.  Then I cut again. Wincing each time I hit my skin and tore it with the blade. 

Blood dripped down my arms onto the ground. Then I heard a loud voice that sounded stern say "Stop that at once!" I turn my head to see an orange inkling with a special forces beret , and another male inkling with the aloha shirt. The one I bumped into at the park.

"Leave me alone" I rolled down my sleeves but my blood seeped through "please."

Army~kun's POV:

This poor cephalopod.. they sound so broken. I went over and stood above the crying [I/o]. And of course Aloha sat rnight next to them.

"Hey there..." Aloha said in a sigh. "Want to talk about it"

They sighed, and looked to Aloha. I caught a glance of the cephalopod's face. And they were attractive.. I looked away hiding  my flushed face that dusted an orange color on my cheeks.

"No.. i-i really don't" they said about to rest their head on their arms but didn't. They looked like they were in pain..

I sighed, sitting infront of the [I/O]. I straightened my back and smiled. "You don't have to share that information, but this not how you should go about these things"

They nodded slowly. Then opened their mouth to say something..nothing came out.

"Come on let's clean you up" Aloha got up and helped up [y/n].

"I'm Aloha! And this uptight orange is Army"

" Hey! I'm not uptight I'm just prepared and organized" I shot back.

They slightly smiled. "I'm [y/n]"

Aloha~kun's POV:

It was about ten minutes when we reached my house. We brought the cephalopod into my room and placed them in the bed as we patched them up.

"[Y/n] is there anything we can do for you..?" I asked them. Hoping there was something. Anything.

"No.. but.. y-yes.." they started to cry again. So I hugged them close to me.  To my surprise they hugged me back.

My eyes wandered to Army who looked sad. And hugged [y/n] as well. He let go and looked into their eyes with a serious look.

"Do you want me to stay with you for a bit?" Army asked trying to comfort them. Their expression softened. Looking more relaxed and they smiled! Cod it was so cute!

"Yes please." [Y/n] responded. Sounding happier than they were before.

"Can I stay too? Don't want you to be stuck with orange over here" I joked, snickering as Army stiffened his back.

"Aloha please. You are such a party animal" he scoffed but internally we all knew he was happy.

[Y/n] turned their gaze to the wall. Taking a breath in and out. Closing their eyes and drifted sleep.. Army and I looked at each other before each one of us smiled. We hugged [Y/n] and fell asleep beside the sleeping [I/O].
