Chapter Text
Tension was high ever since the 3 met for practice. Their newest member couldn’t attend due to having to help his dad with something, but that allows for some talk to go on post practice.
“So,” N-Pacer takes off her inktank and sits down against a wall, her Splatterscope placed gently next to her. “Our little Prince is off the market now, huh?”
“Oh, um, yeah!” He sits down in front of N-Pacer, a small blush coloring his cheeks. “Ain’t it cool?”
“How long have you guys been together so far?” Eging Jr. completes the trinity and sits next to N-Pacer, throwing off the inktank on his back along with his jacket. His head rests in his palm, curiosity in his eyes.
“Um, about a week maybe? I don’t really remember.” A small chuckle comes out of his mouth.
“Have you two done anything special?” N-Pacer stares on, a small smile on her face from how happy Prince looks.
“Nnnot really…” Prince twiddles his thumbs. “Just sleepovers n’ stuff… um… sometimes we do Turf War together!”
N-Pacer and Eging Jr. look at each other for a moment before looking back at Prince. “Have you ever thought of going on a date?”
“Date? Um… I dunno… wouldn’t Brother get curious as to where I was going? You guys would have to come with me…”
“Not a problem.” Eging Jr. ruffles Prince’s tentacles, “We can just go do something while you two do whatever you guys like to do. Think of it as… team bonding! If your brother asks, just tell him that’s all it is.” Egingjr Jr. gives a small wink.
“A-Alright!” Prince smiles, the smile fading into surprise as his phone buzzes. He picks it up, checking the screen.
“It’s… Laceless.”
“Oh?” N-Pacer and Eging Jr. both surround Prince with curiosity.
“Hey, give me some space! He, um… says— well, asks if I want to do something with him tonight!”
“I dunno about you, but that sounds like a date.”
“I’ll text him back, then.”
Prince: wat do u mean?
Laceless: Like…!! I dunno!! I feel bad for having to miss today… Let’s go do something!!!
Prince: um… ok! when n where would we b goin?
Laceless: Um…!! How about Skipper Pavillon tonight????? I heard there should be fireworks!!!!!

“...Sooooo…?” Eging Jr. leans in.
“I… guess I’ve got a date! Later tonight at the pavilion.”
“You know what this meaaaannnnsssss…”
“...What does it mean?”
“Big bro Junior and big sis N-Pacer are gonna fancy you up for your special date!”
“H-Huh?”
