MOU YADAAAAAA

Floyd Leech can never be normal about anything — including you.

It takes a lot to keep his interest, yet you've somehow managed to do exactly that. I mean, you're Floyd's oh so cute, squeezable, fun to tease Shrimpy — of course, he's utterly enthralled with you! He makes no attempt to hide just how much he adores you either, which is both sweet and a little bit much at times.

Most people have no idea how or why you put up with Floyd's rather… chaotic nature, but you love him for it, not in spite of it. Sure, it can be a lot dealing with his highs and lows, but you knew full well what you were signing up for when you agreed to date him.

Now that Floyd has you to himself, he's not letting you go until he gets bored with you and that won't be happening anytime soon.

"Do you ever wonder what life would have been like if we never met?" The deathly silence that follows makes you regret even asking this entirely hypothetical question. Floyd stares at you with wide eyes and a blank expression — both of which you find yourself unable to decipher. What you do know is that when it comes to your boyfriend, silence is never a good sign.

"Why are you askin' me that, Shrimpy? Don't tell me you're trying to leave me already." Despite the almost whiny tone of Floyd's voice, you can tell he's a bit… off out by your question. To be quite honest, he's never thought about what life would be like without you being in it, but now that he has you, he's not gonna let you go.

"No, no, I was just thinking about it the other day. You probably wouldn't even know I existed if I didn't end up here, but I'm sure you would have gotten on just fine without me."

It's at that moment that Floyd has a revelation; you were never meant to be here, to be a part of his life — especially in such a meaningful way. The world is a great big sea, and you're just a little shrimp — one that he very easily could have overlooked — that just so happens to swim past and capture this eel's heart. Floyd is by no means a sappy guy, but the mere thought of not only being deprived of your love, but also the endless entertainment you provide him, makes him feel rather… strange.

The mood swing that ensues is unlike the ones you've dealt with in the past. Usually, Floyd would get all pout and angry at the world and everyone in it, but instead he's oddly… clingy. Well, more clingy than usual. Ever since you asked him that terrible, terrible question, he's been unable — or rather, unwilling — to let you go.

If Floyd could, he'd squeeze you all day, every day, for the rest of time. Unfortunately, that's not really feasible, but that's not gonna stop him from trying now.

"Floyd."

…

"Don't act like you can't hear me."

"Ehhh, just be quiet and stop trying to fight my love, Shrimpy!"

"I'm not 'fighting your love', I'm trying to go to class."

"Ehhhh who cares about going to class? Do your grades matter more than me, Shrimpy?"

"Of course not, Floyd. You know I'd skip if I could, but Trein has been on my ass and I don't wanna get detention again."

"Wahhhhhhhhh! My Shrimpy doesn't love me anymoreeeee!!!"

"Oh, stop that! You know I love you, Floyd. Geez what's gotten into you?"

"Nothing! Can't a guy be clingy every once and a while without getting shamed for it?"

"I'm not shaming you, silly. I'm just trying to figure out why you've suddenly developed separation anxiety."

"I just love you, okay? You're my Shrimpy and I wanna keep you close, is that so wrong?"

…

"No. No, it's not wrong Floyd. I love you too, and I'm not going anywhere, okay? You don't have to act like you're never gonna see me again, you big, silly, eel."

…

"Fine, I'll let you go to class, but I wanna see you after class, okay?"

"I can do that."

"Promise?"

"Promise."
