Your POV 9:39PM

"....." Y/N didn't reply after DJ Octavio mockingly greeted him. "What's wrong after all this time I thought that you would have atleast said something to me." DJ Octavio said and then Y/N started laughing <not like a maniacal laugh>. "Of all the people I thought I never see again you showed up." Y/N said as he stopped laughing. "Wait Y/N you know him?" Pearl asked as she felt like she was intruding on a very personal situation. "Oh he knows me alright, but Y/N dont you hate me?" DJ Octavio said with a confused look on his face. "Hmm....hate you? Nah you're not worth my hate anyway. Just do one thing for me ok?" Y/N said with a smile on his face. "And what would that be?" DJ Octavio asked and Y/N walked up to the snowglobe. "For every one in your bloodline's sake stay the Atlantis away from my sister." Y/N finished saying the last part with pure venom. <thought I would put Atlantis as splatoons version of hell.> DJ Octavio then rapidly nodded his head and then Y/N backed off of the snowglobe. "Remind me to never tick him off." Marina whispered to Pearl as she came in the room. Pearl nodded as they heard a suitcase hit the stairs. They then turned to see a frustrated Lisa struggling to get a suitcase down the stairs. Y/N then chuckled and went up the stairs and picked up the suitcase for Lisa. Lisa then looked up at Y/N puffing her cheeks in cute anger. Y/N then picked up Lisa and put her on his back. Lisa at first looked alarmed and scared, but then gave a adorably satisfied smile. (So cute....) Alena thought as she came out of the guest bedroom with her backpack and duffle bag. Alena then realized that she had been staring and shook it out of her system hoping no one had noticed, but only one Octoling did. Captain CuddleFish then came in the livingroom with a trolley with two handles and walked over to DJ Octavio. "What are you going to do to me now general?" Octavio asked smugly. "Well I thought about leaving you to burn in a pool of water but I decided that I would put you back in Octo Canyon base." CuddleFish said as he got the trolley's lower lifting part under the snowglobe. Captain CuddleFish then got the snowglobe out the door on the trolley, but waved to everyone before he left. Alena then walked over to the two remaining Octolings in the room and tapped the taller one's shoulder. Y/N then turned an looked down to have his face meet the light green Inkling's eyes. "Are you ready to go?" He asked and Alena nodded. "Alright well it was nice to meet so many people, and thank you Pearl and Marina for giving my lil' sis here a place to stay for the night, but I think it's time we go." Y/N said as the three headed out the door. "Travel safely you three!" Marina said as she waved them off. Y/N then waved back as did Lisa and Alena. Pearl then came running out of the mansion. "Don't get cooked, stay off the hook!" Pearl yelled as the group waved her good bye too. The three then took a right once they left the mansion's gate and headed towards Y/N's house. Some where along the way Lisa had gotten off of Y/N's back and was now rolling her suitcase inbetween Y/N and Alena. While they were going towards the house they ran into two of the Inklings from yesterday that tried to beat up Lisa. "Well, well, well look who it is!" The pink tentacles one said. "There's not a random sniper to save you this time!" The dark blue tentacled one said as the two began closing in on Lisa. "Why don't you ditch this loser and bring your friend and we'll show you a good time?" Dark blue said as he went out to grab Lisa only to have his arm caught by Y/N. "How about you stay away from her before I use something worse than a sniper." Y/N said now with a menacing face. The two male  Inklings then turned pale before running off. Y/N then looked to the now frightened Lisa and put his arms round her. Lisa then looked up at him with tears welling up in her eyes. "Hey, I'm not leaving you. And also your friend here was about to intervene if I didn't." Y/N said as Lisa looke d from him to Alena seeing a singular duely in her hand. "H-how did you see that when you weren't looking at me?" Alena questioned as Y/N chuckled. "Just some prior....experience with some people." Y/N said as the group started walking again.  They kept walking until they hit a neighborhood full of Inklings and Octolings. When they got there a few waved at Y/N as he waved back. The group then stopped at a mainly F/C, with S/F/C and T/F/C details. When the trio stopped at the front of the house Lisa looked up in amazement of the house. "Wow! It's so pretty and gorgeous!" Lisa said as Alena nodded in agreement. "Thanks, I usually dont have to many visitors so sorry if the inside is a bit messy." Y/N said as he pulled out some keys from his pocket and opened the door. They all went inside as Lisa and Alena gawked at the inside of the house. Although it wasn't as pretty as the mansion they had just come from, Y/N's house was truly beautiful. "Wow Y/N how long did it take people to make this for you?" Alena asked as she set down her backpack and duffel bag. "Oh not too long just about three years, and I made this house not construction workers." He said as he walked over to his fridge. "Wait you made this Y/N?" Lisa asked and Y/N nodded as he came back with an mug full of F/D. "Yep, I got it from winning multiple Turf wars and bets." Y/N said as he walked over to the other two. "I remember my first day in Inkopolis I always got dirty looks from Inklings until the day I tried out a turf war, but then one day I found a group of Inklings that didn't care for what I looked like and was just happy that they finally found a teammate that day....those were a lot simpler times." Y/N finished now looking up at the ceiling as if he was looking at someone else. "Nowadays I just help out the homeless Inklings and Octolings and do turf wars, but sometimes I help Captain CuddleFish out with stuff." Y/N said as Alena looked at him in wonder. "Well what kind of stuff?" Y/N looked back at his company of Alena and Lisa with a small grin on his face. "Well I help him make sure that Inkopolis is safe from people like Octavio." He finished as he set down a mug on a medium sized dinner table. "So if you guys want I could show you to your rooms?" Y/N asked as he got a nod from his company and walked towards a hallway to the left exit of the living room. The group stopped at a hallway that had three doors. They went to one that was on the left first that was a simple bedroom, it had a bed that was double the size of any normal Inkling bed, a dresser, a wardrobe on the wall right of the bed, a window to the right of the bed past the wardrobe, a door that had was open that showed an bathroom, and a smaller window a bit above the bed frame. "This is where one of you can sleep or you two can share a room, it's your decision not mine." He finished playfully putting his hands in a surrender motion. Lisa looked around the room the walls were a sky blue color with a few clouds in between. "Do you paint?" Alena asked Y/N to which he nodded. "An old hobby of mine, I always liked to paint or draw of what I thought about, helps me vent when I get stressed sometimes." Alena thought to make a mental note of that. Y/N then turned around and opened the door on the right side of the hallway. It had a bed against the left side of the room, a closet next to the back of the bed frame, a mirror on the back o the wall next to the door, a door that was again open showing an bathroom, and it had a medium size window showing the back yard. Alena looked at the ceiling and walls to see that it was bamboo and leaves this time instead of the sky. Alena's view turned from the pattern of the room to Y/N and she began to notice his features such as his dark tentacle as it rested on top of his head and the end cured up a bit more as it drooped over his forehead, then underneath his hair like tentacle burn marks on his S/C body and also a small scar that appeared under his right eyebrow while having a burn mark under his left eye, to his muscular chest and beefy looking arms and legs. She then looked back to his face to see his violet eyes looking back hers. She then turned away feeling flushed and somewhat embarrassed. Lisa then turned around to see a flustered Alena and a smirking Y/N. "Is there something wrong?" Lisa asked innocently to which Y/N shook his head. Alena and Lisa then decided that Lisa would have the first room and Alena would have the second one. Y/N then showed the two the room at the end of the hallway which when opened smelled full of sweat, machinery and oil. "This is my garage room, I come in here and fix my weapons such as my Dark Tenta Duelies and others, but on occasion you may see me fixing someone's car in here." He finished as the two girls quickly left the room leaving Y/N confused. "It smells like a factory and gym in there!" Lisa said as she plugged her nose. Y/N then nervously scratched his head. "Oh well, I guess I've been in here so much I've gotten used to it. Well since I've shown you this part of the house why not the rest of it?" Y/N asked as the two nodded and followed him back to the living room, through the kitchen and to a door leading out to a back yard. There were several different plants in the back, but there was a small Japanese style hut in the front next to a small pond and it had bamboo growing around the pond in a ring. The time of day it was the full moon even showed the Koi and other fish sleeping or swimming in the pond. "You guys like it? I've mainly only done the front of the yard so far but I think I made it look presentable." Y/N said as Lisa and Alena looked at the yard in awe. "You really only got this stuff from winning turf wars and buying it Y/N?" Lisa said in awe as she looked around the unique garden like backyard. Alena then looked at him as she waited for his response. "Ehh Well some of this stuff I got were gifts for doing things for people and not asking for payment. Like this yard! I had to help Mr. Grizzco once with this glow-fly infested area." He said as he shuttered thinking about it. "How is Grizzco I haven't seen him in a while." Alena asked and Y/N's face looked a bit more serious then him smiling. "Well to tell you the truth I think He's been a bit paranoid lately. He's been requesting more helpers and workers than usual and is buying extra equipment. There have also been some reports of some of the workers not coming back. I'm sure he's got it under control though." He said with somewhat of confidence.
