Floyd Leech isn't quite sure what to do with his feelings sometimes. Most people are put off by his sudden changes in mood and behavior—with the exception of his twin brother, of course.

But the thing is, Floyd just can't help it, especially now that you've wormed your way into his life.

You're a fascinating one, you see, for you make him feel so many things all at once.

Sometimes, he feels the urge to chase you down or give you a little spook, but he wants to be the one you run to for safety. He'll blurt out the most random things to get a reaction out of you, but he'll come after anyone who dares to make you uncomfortable.

Your company makes him feel at peace, but you also make him want to break out in song and dance. And while he's very much used to just doing whatever he wants, he finds himself thinking twice around you…most of the time.

It was only when he talked to Jade that he realized what his feelings were. Walking on land as a human gives Floyd an unbearable itch; he misses his true form and the fluid nature of water. But when you're around? He feels like he's swimming in a sea of delight.

Floyd's heart follows wherever your tide takes him.

The sentiment rings true in this moment, where you both sit cross-legged on the couch. It's been a few minutes since he started cooing at you out of nowhere.

You tilt his head at him, wondering what caused the sudden shift in his demeanor.

"Did I do something?"

"Noooo…" He giggles to himself.

"Huh. I swear, you were silent just a moment ago. What piqued your interest this time, huh?"

"Hyeeeheheheeh!"

"Floyd?"

He gives you his signature grin (the one you called adorable when you didn't think he was listening). 

"Your little pout…"

"Hm?" At that, you purse your lips and point to yourself.

"That! Hehehehe. Like that!" 

Leaning forward, he inches closer into your personal space.

"Okay, what about my pout?" You await his answer. "…Floyd?"

"You're so cute! I want to squeeze you." He reaches out one hand to tilt your chin upwards.

"A gentle squeeze, I hope?"

"No promises, hehehe!"

He squishes your cheeks with his hand, causing your lips to protrude in a far more exaggerated manner. You don't move a muscle, even when he decides to use both of his hands to squash your face. 

The eel is absolutely delighted that you're letting him indulge in his whims again (and honestly, maybe he understands why you started aggressively petting that random cat you both saw on campus).

"Floyd? You sound like you're squealing, screeching, laughing, and crying at the same time."

At your observation, he grins. He's amused that he can understand what you're saying, despite the state your endearing little face is in.

"Eh? Is that so? But you're so adorable…I can't help it!" 

You exhale and sigh, letting Floyd continue for as long as he wishes. After all, you both know you're enjoying this as much as he is. Even better, his cute aggression has him hugging you close to his chest.

"Oh no. You're going to squeeze me for real," you say in a playful tone.

"Aw…" He ruffles your hair and presses a kiss on the top of your head. "I suppose I will reconsider. I like you too much. I wanna keep you around."

"Good. I'd like to be around you for a lot longer, too."

"Heeheehee." 

Floyd frees you from his grasp, but it's not long before he captures your cheeks with both his hands and forces another pout to appear. 

"Also, I've decided…"

You raise an eyebrow. "Oh? Decided what?" 

"I'm calling you my duckling."

He gives you a quick peck on the lips before giggling to himself again. This will certainly be an exciting afternoon.

7 years ago down in the lively blue sea…

Beneath these beautiful waters is where your younger self would usually hangout in the amazingly colorful coral fields. It wasn’t that far from home, so your mother was comfortable with you going there daily. As soon as you get there, you lay down on your favorite striped rock to finally get some peace. Both your arms act as a pillow for your head as you close your eyes, enjoying the sunlight beaming down. But right as you began relaxing, the light was being blocked. “Huh?” Your eyes slowly opened to find a boy your age inches away from your face. “GAHHHH!” Startled, you accidentally butted heads causing the two of you to groan. Your hand rubbed the bruise on your forehead to ease the pain. “Did ya really have to do that?! Geez, ouch!” He whined as he turned to look at you.

“You’re kidding me right?! Who told you to be such a creep to be that close?” You winced as you applied a little too much pressure against your skin. And that is the day you met a young Floyd Leech. The two of you bicker away, not noticing the audience of the other two. “It’s your fault!” Your forehead pushing against his. “My fault? You’re the one who butted heads against me!” He argued back. His sharp teeth were in full view as he gritted them together. “Alright, alright break it up you two.” Jade finally stepped in to bring some distance amongst you two. Still annoyed, you crossed your arms as you tilted your chin up the other way. “Hmph!”

While you let the three boys know you’re still displeased with the situation, your mother started calling for you. “Y/N! Y/N! Come back! Lunch time!” She shouted way off. Without hesitation, you swam away but not before sticking your tongue out at them. As you swim away, the three boys look together and chuckle. “She’s a feisty one— I like her!” Floyd cheered as he turned to his brother. Azul shakes his side to side in disbelief. “You may like her but it seems she hates you. Why were you even that close to her in the first place?” He turned to his friend curiously. “Oh because a shrimp was about to go into her ear.” Holding the little fearful creature in his hand. But nevertheless he let it go to his dismay. “Well maybe give her a warning next time.” Azul signed. “I agree, Floyd.” Jade spoke up. “You think she’ll come again?” Floyd asked, turning his head towards the direction you swam off to. “Hmm maybe?” Azul lifting his shoulders wondering the same thing.

Luckily for them, you did return! However, as soon as you saw them, you wanted to turn back. “Hey wait! Aren’t you going to hangout here?” Floyd screamed. Fists clenched, and an irritated smile rose, “No, cause I don’t want to hangout with creeps or their friends.” Your back was turned to them, ready to swim back home. But before you could, your path was being blocked by the young eel. “Oh come on, you’re no fun.” You turned the other way only for your path to be blocked again. “Would you stop that!” You quickly swam up where he chased you. Amazed by his speed you swim even faster all around the coral field to lose him but yet his pace never faltered. Exhausted, you rest on your favorite rock wheezing to catch your breath. “Why are you so fast?” You asked in between gasps. “I don’t know. I just like to race Little Scallop hehehe!”

“Scallop?… Wait a second, you mean me?! How am I a scallop?” You asked childishly. Floyd smirks as he points to your flowy tail, “There’s your answer. Hehehe. Your tail shape looks like a scallop shell.” You puff your cheeks as you deny such a nickname. Once again, Azul and Jade watch amused by the two of you bickering. “Will they ever stop?” Azul turned to Jade jokingly. “Only time will tell I’m afraid.” Jade replied, smiling at that question.

Since then, let’s say you had no other choice to hangout with the trio since they now occupy your favorite hangout area. Slowly but surely, you got used to their company. However the bickering between you and Floyd never stopped. It never gets old. You became best friends. You were so close that you invited them back to your place. Your mother was more than thrilled to see you make such lovely friends. Your father on the other hand— let's just say he made a pact with the boys. Finally! Boys that understand how precious you are and that you need to be protected at all cost. These three knuckleheads have officially become your body guards. Wherever you’re going, they’re coming along. You didn’t mind since you never had company with you to explore around. Plus it is a massive bonus since your mother is at ease if the boys are with you.

After they had the pleasure of meeting your parents, best bet they’d introduce you to theirs. You immediately won the hearts of the Leech twins' parents. As soon as they got word of your arrival, everything was thrown to the side to finally meet you. Floyd was a lot like his mother while Jade shared a lot of resemblance to his father. My, my what a day. They showed you around their mansion as the twins swam bordely behind. They’ve even gone as far to invite you to stay for the night, but you humbly declined. After that hectic day, you had to visit Azul’s residence where you met his mother. She intimidated you the first few minutes with just a single brow raised. Thankfully she’s nicer than she looks as she babied you like the daughter she never had. Feeds you till you're slowly weighed down by the food. The boys can only stay envious of the love you’re showered with. But you never changed then or now. Your connection to them only got stronger.

Soon you are no longer children, you’re now a young obnoxious teenager who very well defines what trouble is. It is typically you and Floyd who make the mess with Azul and Jade cleaning it up after. It's an endless cycle. But you all love it either way.

One day as you four were exploring, you found the greatest treasure under the sea. A wall with a window still attached with interesting designs around it. “Woah! Check this out guys!” You swim around it cautiously but ever so curious. “I wonder where this came from?” Azul spoke up as he fixed his glasses. Your smile widened as you found another piece though it looked a lot like a pillar. “It's beautiful.” A hand slowly touches the etching to be fascinated by such delicate details. “They are but I don’t think we should stay for long.” Jade warns calmly. “Ehh why not?” You cried out. “Scallop, the sun is going down. Come on, I wanna go home. I need cuddles before the day ends.” Floyd yawns after finishing his sentence.

Sad but understanding, you returned home though not before giving Floyd his daily dose of cuddles. This boy loves to cuddle! You discovered that the day you made the mistake of trying to scare him by hugging him from behind. From there on out, Floyd demands cuddles. “I’ll see you guys tomorrow!” You waved them goodbye as you swam to your front door.

4 years later getting accepted into college…

“Hey check it out, Scallop! We got accepted to Night Raven College!” Floyd waved his letter around. Jade holding the same letter and smiling proudly. Azul too was sharing a delightful grin of happiness. You on the other hand could only add a sorrowful smile. “Is something wrong, Y/N?” Jade asked, knowing that smile anywhere. “No, n-nothings wrong.” The boys all shared glances, as if! Not when you sound like that. “Come on Scallop, tell us!” Floyd pouted.

Defeated by the terrifying stares of doom, you pull out your own acceptance letter. Azul reads it closely, the first line is all he needs to read. “Dear Y/N, I would like to formally welcome you to Royal Sword Academy…” Silence. “Did I hear you wrong?” Floyd shouted, hand snatching the piece of paper out of the octopus’s merman hand. “No. No! NO!” Why? Does the universe find it funny? “I don’t want to be separated from, Scallop!” His body clung onto yours. “It seems we have no other choice.” Jade adds as he too hugs you closely and worryingly. “Will you at least visit us?” Azul asked frightfully.

“Of course I will! I promise. But believe me, I’m just as hurt.” Hugging the twins tightly. “You guys are my world.” Your head rests against their broad shoulders.

“You’re a part of our world too, Y/N.” They all spoke in harmony by accident. This won a symphony of laughter from all of you to comfort yourselves of the upcoming future.
