Chapter Text
3RD PERSON POV
It's been a few days after Squiddo & Ashswag's breakup, and Ashswag was at the bar, trying to get over her.
Ash didn't expect him and Squiddo's relationship to be so short, both of them seemed extremely happy during the relationship,
The curly-haired boy walked up to a girl that was staring at him for the entire time he was here, he decided he should actually try to move on from them.
Meanwhile, Squiddo also tried to get over him by watching a show & playing silly games with their friends, JumperWho, Wifies and Kaboodle!
Squiddo bought sets of matching pajamas weeks before, and they arrived just 2 days before the hangout, they wore the other set of PJs and planned to give the other sets to the others as a little keepsake of them!
before ash went to the bar <<
"Goddamnit, why is Squiddo ghosting me? It's only been a few months and it was going really well and then she just stops replying?? I genuinely had to end things with her for her because I guess she was too scared to do it anyways. So pathetic. I don't understand this girl. And she even said on her recent stream that she was "So sick of Ashswag" because I left her on a game." he ranted to Mapic.
Mapic nodded along, obviously not listening to what he was saying.
As Mapicc brewed a pot of coffee, he said "Hey, I'm going to the bar later, wanna join me? It'll help you get your mind off Squiddo."
Ash looked at Mapicc, opened his mouth like was going to say something, then closed it, looking troubled.
Mapicc noticed and asked "What's wrong? Do you not want to?" as he sips on his freshly brewed coffee.
Ash looked down and spoke "No, it's not that I don't want to, I just don't think it's the right decision right now, you know what I mean?"
Mapicc sat across from him at the table, saying "Come on Ash! You need to get over that girl and what better way to do it than finding a new one?"
Ash sighed and exclaimed in defeat, "Fine, I'll go to the bar with you. On one condition."
He stared at him, waiting for Ash to say the condition.
"Don't pressure me to meet any girls today, or even nudge me towards anyone."
Mapicc stared at him blankly, blinking his eyes.
He said, "That's it? Are you sure?"
Mapic knew deep down that he'll do it anyways, even if he agreed now.
They shook on it, and they both got dressed in button-up shirts and dress pants, Mapicc's white-and-black and Ash's black and purple, and headed off to the bar.
But right before they left
during the breakup <<
She called him on the phone immediately after the breakup, including Kaboodle and JumperWho.
Wifies asked "Hey, are you okay? What's going on? Do you want me to come over now or?"
Kab declined the call, but she sent a message saying:
THE FANTASTIC FOUR!!!!!!1!!!!!!11!!!!!
SQUIDDOoOOOO
WHATS GOING ON
WHYD U CALL THE FANTASTIC FOUR
R U OKAYY???
I think its better if i say it in person
Sorry kab
JumperWho asked, "Squiddo, we all know you aren't okay. Just tell us, no matter what happens we'll always be here for you okay?" The girl said with a reassuring voice.
Wifies agreed with her, saying "Squiddo, this is a safe space. It's fine if you don't wanna tell us but I promise that we won't judge you, okay?"
Squiddo was already crying, as she wiped away her tears, she mumbled
"Ash broke up with me."
...
The call went silent for a minute, besides from Squiddo sniffling.
They didn't believe it, even Squiddo herself couldn't believe it either.
Squiddo murmured, "I wish I never said those words on stream, if I didn't, I'm pretty sure me and Ash would probably still be together. God, why did I have to be so immature?"
Kaboodle joined the call.
Kaboodle yelled into her earphones, screaming "SQUIDDO..." dragging the "o" it nearly made Squiddo laugh.
"WHAT HAPPENED??? SQUIDDO TELL US!"
Wifies cut her sentence short. "Ash broke up with her."
Kaboodle felt an immense wave of pity and secondhand sadness.
"Oh Squiddo, are you okay? Do you want me- I mean us to come over and bring you some ice-cream?" Kab said.
Squiddo replied, sniffling: "No it's fine, I don't wanna be a burden to you guys."
JumperWho asked "Well, did you publicly announce it yet..?"
Squiddo replied, "No. I don't want the public to find out about this, yet."
Squiddo said "No, it's fine. I think I should just spend the next few days by myself. Maybe I should think about the relationship before talking to Ash.."
JumperWho said, "Well just call us if you need any help with absolutely anything, alright? We're always here for you, I'm sure you know that already."
Squiddo said, tears welling in her eyes: "Thanks guys, I love you guys so much!"
Wifies said "Bye Squiddo, take care alright?"
She ended the call, and she did spend the next few days by herself.
Squiddo spent nearly a week looking back at their old streams, their texts and calls together, each lasting nearly 10 hours.
Squiddo wondered if it was a bad thing getting together with Ash in the first place.
But Squiddo wanted to forget everything that happened.
She didn't want anyone to come over.
She didn't wanna call Ash, either.
She wanted to go to a bar, one of those sleazy ones like where Ash used to hangout before they met.
Squiddo wondered if she'd meet Ash there, and if so, what would she do?
"Fuck it, it's fine."
