Feeling of Confusion

Agent 3 was brought back to base by her friends to treat her wound, she tried to assure them that it didn't hurt, but as always, none of them listened. Agent 4 brought her to the treatment room, she removed her hero jacket and began treating her.

"Geez 3, what happened out there?" Agent 4 said, cleaning the wound.

"There was this octoling, but he looked, different but-"

"Hold on, you saw a MALE octoling!?"

"U-Uh, maybe.."

"I thought there were only females, but I guess not." 4 said, putting 3's jacket back on.

"Me to, just don't tell the others."

"Why not?" 4 asked.

"Because I want to fight him myself." 3 said, getting up.

"Alright fine, I won't tell anyone." 4 said, walking out with 3.

Agent 4.5 turned to the girls.

"You good 3?"

"Yeah, i'm fine. Just a scratch."

"Good." 4.5 said, smiling at the two.

3.5 walked over to 3 with his Hero Roller.

"What did the octoling look like?"

"U-Uh, just a normal octoling."

"Just a normal octoling huh? Not very likely that a normal octoling got a hit on you, but whatever." 3.5 said, swinging his roller over his shoulder.

3 ignored his remark, walking over to Marie, who seemed to be reading something.

"Hey Marie, what are you doing?"

Marie looked up and turned red, closing the book she was reading and shoved it behind her as she fixed her hair.

"U-Uh- I was just reading."

"Ah okay." 3 said, walking away.

"Hey guys, I think I might go home for the day." 3 said, grabbing her gun and walking to the manhole.

"Wait 3! You think I could crash at your place with you?" 4 yelled.

3 turned around.

"Sure, follow me." 3 said, signaling 4 to follow.

They both entered the manhole, exiting out into Inkopolis, which was barren, since it was nighttime. 4 followed 3 all the way to her apartment building, which wasn't far from the manhole. 3 unlocked the door to her apartment, opening the door for 4. 4 entered the apartment and was followed by 3, who closed the door behind her.

"You hungry?" 3 said, walking into her kitchen.

"Nah, i'm good."

"Alright, well i'm going to sleep, there's a blanket and pillow on the couch."

"Alright." 4 said, plopping down on the couch and laying her head on the pillow beside her, slowly drifting off.

3 on the other hand was wide awake, she sat on her bed and thought about the day, about the boy, about telling 4 what had happened, and about lying to her friends. However she shook those thoughts away and began to fall asleep.
