Cephalove: A Splatoon 2 Fanfiction (Lucas x Marina)

Chapter 1 - Blushes

Lucas Splattington was your average, everyday inkling. His friends describe him as kind, funny, cool, and overall he's a pretty great guy! He first moved to Inkopolis Square when he was about 17. Now he's 18, and he's grown to love it, and he loves a lot of things. He loves his family (of course), his friends (he's straight btw, if you didn't find that out earlier), ink battles, video games, and he loves music! Fun fact, he was actually inspired by the squid sisters (reminds you of octo expansion doesn't it?)! Their songs inspired him to get into music, and even write his own.

Sometimes he would just be in his room, playing his keyboard, writing ideas for songs and just enjoy himself. It's been his dream to become a professional musician, and would love for it to become a reality. With all the love and support he gets, it might as well be a reality. He's a very kind person and loves to meet new people. He enjoys shopping for new gear and weapons for him to show off his style.

His looks were relatively average. He had greenish-grayish eyes, and orange-ish skin. He was a bit taller than the average inkling, about 175 centimeters. His go to outfit was a Squidvader Cap, a Takoroka Nylon Vintage, and a pair of Orange Arrows. His eyes may be an ordinary color, but there was something about them that made it so different. His eyes had a sort of triangle shaped sparkle in the corner. It actually runs in his family, who was said to have evolved from firefly squids! The rest of him may still look a little average, but he's got that aura that makes him so great!

Okay, what else... um, he graduated high school. Oh! Let me tell you his stats! He's a level 36 and his highest rank is A- (he's good but not THAT good). He also takes Salmon Run very seriously (while still having fun), after all, he IS a profreshional. His main goal when moving to Inkopolis Square was to find a good paying job and I have fun, luckily, Salmon Run, ink battles, and designing video games at Ancho-V Games fit that description well!

Now, there's one more thing you need to know know about him. Okay, don't tell anyone, but he is Agent 4 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon! He needs to keep that identity a secret, so zip it! But, that's not the only secret he's keeping. He also has... a secret crush! (Ooooooh!)

He's always had an attraction towards Marina, the second member of the hit band in town, Off the Hook, and he's not wrong. Everyone was attracted to her, really. Whether it was her pretty face, her heavenly voice, her unzipped shirt, her exposed midriff, or the fact she wears her pants low. Whatever the reason, everyone loved her... especially Lucas. The first time he saw her, he immediately fell in love, and everyday after that, he would walk by the window, wave to her (and Pearl, the first member of the band), and they would always wave back. It made him happy each time, but little does he know... Marina has been getting a crush on him too! (WOOOAH!)!

Now let me tell you how they first met, it's a funny story, actually! It's was a week since Lucas first moved to the place. He was on his way to Ye Old Clothe Shoppe since he was finally fresh enough for a new shirt when he was interrupted by the sound of screaming fans. He went over to see a group of inklings jumping up and down, who seemed to be surrounding something. Lucas moved closer to see that they were surrounding Pearl and Marina, begging for autographs.

He was star struck at the sight of Marina, who help up her hands in a "hold up" sort of manner and said, "We'll get everyone's autographs!" There were only 10 people in the crowd (including Lucas), so it would be quick. Pearl and Marina sat at a nearby table, and the inklings all formed a line, with Lucas in the back. When he finally reached the table, he could barely move, he was so anxious, but not anxious enough to not talk. "H-H-Hi," He said, holding out a piece of paper, "C-Can I have your autograph?"

"Sure," Said Pearl and Marina at the same time, and they signed the paper (they had there own pens, they always come prepared!). When they were done, Lucas took the paper and said, "T-Thanks!" He walked back, and when he was out of their sight, he yelled to himself! "Ah, stupid stupid stupid! Pull yourself together man! You can't just stutter like that, you'll seem like a weirdo! Alright... just calm down, you'll do better next time. At least you got an autograph-" it was just then when he realized he had successfully gotten an autograph. He yelled, "WOOHOO!!" He couldn't be happier. He didn't notice, however, the two girls talking about him behind his back.
"Pfff," Said Pearl, "what a weirdo!"
"Oh be quiet!" Said Marina, "he's probably new here, so of course he's gonna seem weird at first. He actually seems kinda nice..."
