2h09 squiddo is pvping and was spectating zam duel someone. they say they've had a grudge on zam since late s6. spoke told squiddo to get in a vc with zam to tell her about spawn becoming a crater and, after this, zam started killing them over and over and getting the server to have a vendetta against them)
squiddo also says "i liked you better when you were joker, zam"
A glass of wine for her and some sort of fruity concoction for them were both sitting next to the nest of soft pillows in blankets they both sat on. They're both laughing and talking in hushed voices. Why were they whispering? Well, Zam wasn't quite sure. No one else was home but it felt nice how close they had to be to hear one another, and gosh — Squiddo just kept looking at her with such loving eyes. She felt so unseen most of the time but never with them.
Squiddo's giggles stopped for a moment as they cup Zam's face in both of their hands. They giggle again, running their thumbs on the side of her beard and Zam smile at them confused but happy.
"I love you're beard, it's so pretty!" They trial off as they stare at the bottom half of her face and — is Squiddo getting closer? Oh shit, she's supposed to do the whole talking thing!
"Oh, um. Thank you! I, uh, I like it too." She smiles, realizing they've definitly gotten a little closer. Zam puts her hands in Squiddos hair that they've cut pretty short here recently.
"Do pretty princess like kisses?" It sounds blurted out and not like they put a lot of thought into it but it still makes Zam smile.
"Mmm, love them actually... why?" Oh, please just lean in to her. She wants to beg and plead with any higher power that'd listen to let her be kissed by the angel in front of her.
They look hesitant before pressing kisses to her beard and cheeks with exagerated little 'mwah's inbetween giggles, which Zam couldn't help but accompany with a set of her own giggles.
After Squiddo stops pecking at her with little kisses and their left still giggling and looking at eachother with heart eyes, Zam blurts out, "I thought you meant the lips."
"The lips?" They echoed a little high pitched and shocked sounding. Another giggle curls from out of their throat as they lean back their head before continuing, "Are my other kisses not good enough for you?"
"Nooo!" She whines out. "I just really like you lips — oh, that sounds wrong." Zam wants to take it back immediatly after seeing the way Squiddo deflates a little.
They force a smile back on their face but it looks so wrong, and they laugh but it grinds against her ears because it just sounds so unlike their actual laugh.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to — I just meant you're like, really pretty, so, obviously your face is really pretty and like, your lips are part of your really pretty face so, I just like, like them, y'know?" Zam's voice was a little less hushed as she panicked out a rambly-response that, at the very least, was mostly true (they were undenibly really pretty).
Squiddo hummed positivly in response but they were slowly pulling back from her. Their smile felt sickly sweet in a way that was so foreign to see on them. "No — I uh, I get it!" They used their normal volume as the moment of hushed voices and precious happiness slipped away from the two....
"No, I made things akward—"
"What?" Squiddo laughs more earnesly this time. "You didn't make things akward. I just —" They sigh. "I guess, I was kind of hoping to kiss you like that but like, you don't want that — you shouldn't feel bad for that! You didn't do anything wrong."
Zam grabs her glass of wine and takes another sip to try to calm her nerves a little. "Um, okay, but like... I do also want that it's just like, I thought you didn't love me like that so I was trying to play it off."
They eye her sceptically. "You don't have to lie to make me happy; I'm happy being your friend, princess!" Squiddo grabbed her hands and brought them close to their chest with a smile that made her heart swell with how genuine it was.
She tried to mask how happy the petname made her, just like she did every time. "Oh, sunflower.... could I still maybe... kiss you? Like, romantically?" Zam made her voice all soft again and just hoped.
"Mmm... fine — BUT! Only if you want to." They waggled their finger at her slightly and all she could do was giggle before tilting their head up and leaning in for a short and sweet kiss tinged with a taste of achohol. She pulled back and was immedatly met with Squiddo giggling and well, she started giggling too before even knowing why. "What's so funny?"
"Your beard tickles. It feels nice, though." Their voice is soft now too.
And later that night, after they had finished their drinks and put the glasses in the sink downstairs, they laid huddled in the nest of blankets and pillows on Zam's floor. Squiddo's hands running through her hair while Zam pressed her face into their shoulder. They talked in quite tones while still giggly but far more tired, until they eventually fell asleep.
Not in like "they need them to survive" way. No, that's too unhealthy for what I'm going for— I mean, person who would alter their way of life to look at their beauty × person who's beaming at someone finally looking at them without their eyes burning
I can't stop thinking of this fic that was Ashzam + Squidswag.... the yuri potentional is amazing! I have a total zero clue of what Squiddo × Zam would be called but that + trans Ash... polyamorous yuri.... do you see the vision or am I still delirious??
