Captain 3 and agent 8 run into a young nameless octoling boy, who just escaped from a strict leader in Octo Canyon. They take him in and give him a name: Quartz. They feel like family, but the two agents soon learn about the danger they'll have to face in order to keep Quartz safe.

Chraydor, who's an Inkling boy a bit too crazy for Octoling boys, lives his life believing that it's just too good to be true to really have one of his own, leaving him stuck with his always-one-sided feelings for them. But while in a Turf War with his friends one normal day in his life, he meets an Octoling boy that might just be able to change this-or so he hopes. One thing is for sure though, and that's the fact that Chraydor is already feeling lovestruck over this near-stranger every minute that they spend together. And when Chraydor gets to know him a bit better, he finds that this Octoling boy is a semi-famous fashion model and ink battler who turns out to have mysterious history. Why this Octoling boy even bothers with someone so much less than him, Chraydor doesn't question, and neither does he question if he'll only end up in sadness. Edit: The start of this story was written by younger me, so it's kind of cringy and weird

Inklings and Octolings are territorial creatures. Even after thousands of years of evolution, their innate instincts are still within their biology. Once they've claimed something- or someone- as theirs, there's no stopping it. They will hunt down and fight over their so-called "property..." And you've got nowhere to hide, sweetheart.
