After Christmas, Liam and Alex found that they knew more about one another than before. Liam had 2 younger sisters. Alex got drunk easily. Liam wore contacts? Liam could speak French? Alex could speak spanish? Liam gets scared easily. Alex was ticklish all over. But what surprised Alex the most was when Liam told him that he'd never celebrated New Years before. He said it was a giant waste of time with the New Years resolution and whatever. But Alex knew it was something more than that.

Right now he was currently spooning Liam under the covers. All that could be heard was Liam's faint snoring and the ticking of his Alarm clock next to him. The clock read 5:40am. Liam had to wake up early because he actually had an interview for a job. But Alex would do everything in his power to keep him in bed with him. He slid his hand down the curve of his side. Why was Liam so feminine? Then he gently kissed his neck. Why was his skin so soft? He felt like a mama bear trying to protect it's cub. And he wouldn't let anyone take him away.
The alarm rang at 6:00am sharp.
Alex wrapped his arms around Liam tight. Liam's eyes fluttered open. He yawned and shut off the alarm. Then he tried to move out of bed, but was stopped by Alex's tight barriers around his stomach. Alex heard a deep sigh come from his lover. It almost made him laugh.
"Alex..."
Alex didn't respond.
"Alex."
"Hm?"
"Get off."
Alex ignored his request.
"Seriously. I'll be late."
Alex just pulled him closer.
"I know what you're doing. I can't stay, I'm sorry."
Alex hugged tighter.
"Alex if you screw this up for me I swear...."
Alex didn't respond.
"Alex."
....
"Alex!"
Liam groaned. He tried pushing him off to wriggle free, but Alex held on too tight. Then Liam got an idea. He rubbed Alex's arm, then without notice, he pinched him hard.
"AH!"
Alex retracted his arms long enough for Liam to escape.
"NO LIAM! PLEASE!"
"I'll be back later. I'm just going to the interview today."
Alex pouted.
"But I want you to staaaaaay."
Liam chuckled and went to go kiss him. Alex looked like a sad puppy.
"Mi amor. por favor quédate"
Liam smiled.
"Stop speaking gibberish."

Liam was dressed and waiting outside of the booyah base headgear store. His grandmother begged him to start looking for a job after Christmas. He had no other choice but to make her happy. All of his income came from turf wars. But she would always remind him that one day he'd be too old for turf wars. Liam sighed and looked at his watch.
"She should be here by now. It's not that early."
Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him. He turned and saw the shop owner, Annie, waddling towards him.
"You're here early. I don't open shop until 8. B-but it's fine! That'll give me more time to show you the ropes I guess..."
"Wait what? What ropes? I thought this was an interview."
"You did your interview over the phone."
"A-all you needed was my age and experience level??"
"Y-yeah. I mean it's not that hard running a hat shop...you don't need any experience or anything I guess...B-But thanks anyway! For answering my ad. I thought no one would..."
Liam nodded.
"It's fine. Thank you for accepting me."
Annie gave him a small smile, then blushed lightly as she reached for the keys to open the store. She opened it and stepped inside. It was pretty dark, since it was so early.
"Okay, so you should come in every morning before 9:00am and leave around 5:00pm. Just make sure all the equipment is in it's proper place. If someone needs help just help them out. I'll let you know if there are any special sales or anything. Oh! One more thing. The storage in the back is where we keep the extra merch. In case someone is looking for something and can't find it..."
Liam nodded.
"Got it. So we open at 8:00 right?"
"Yeah. Why don't you sweep the floors?"
Liam took the broom next to him and started sweeping. It didn't take too long. By the time he finished they had opened. He watched as inklings slowly began to crowd the plaza. He promised Alex he'd be back by now. But he was sure he would understand once he explained what happened.
Just then a customer walked in. A girl with green tentacles and a bobble hat.
"Hi, can I help you??"
She looked at him with big orange eyes.
"Oh, hello. Uh, well, my hat is getting a little tight. Is it possible that I can get a bigger size?"
"Sure!"
He grabbed a matching hat from one of the racks.
"Here. You can pay over there."
He pointed to the register, where Annie was currently dosing off. Once she saw that they were looking however, she quickly motioned for the customer to come over. Then, an orange monstrosity rose from her mess of pink and green hair.
"What happened?! Got too big headed?!"
Annie flinched.
"M-moe! That's kind of ru-"
"I'm just stating facts!"
The green haired girl blushed.
"O-oh. I just want to buy this hat please. My old hat got too small hahah."
Annie smiled and took the hat from her.
"It's okay. That'll be- wait! Your current hat is in pretty good condition! Y-you could always trade it in for half price."
"Really!? Cool! Okay then."
The girl removed her hat to reveal a mess of green hair. Then traded it in for the new hat. Moe bursted out laughing.
"Ha! Now I can see why you wear the hat!"
She glared angrily at him. This is when Liam decided to step in.
"Leave her alone! I ought to think that your fish lips could hold in all that negativity! But apparently not! Besides, it looks pretty good! I don't know why you'd want to wear a hat anyway."
The Inkling girl blushed.
"You think it looks good?! O-oh. Well thanks."
She put on her new hat and ran out the door. Before she did though, Liam caught her glance at him. He smiled.
"Oh great! Another happy customer..."
Liam turned to the source of the negative vibes and shook his head.
"Hey ann. What's his problem?"
"Huh?? Oh. Uhm I don't know. He just lives with me..."
Liam shrugged and went back to work.

Back at his apartment, Alex was lying in bed starring at the ceiling.
"I knew he wouldn't be back. That jerk."
He lugged himself out of bed to go get breakfast. He brought his cereal to the front of the tv and clicked it on.
"Whatever. I'll have fun by myself."
He ended up falling asleep there for Liam to find when he got home around 3:30. Liam was allowed to come home early since business was slow today. Alex heard the door slam and got up.
"Liam, where were you? I thought you said that-"
"Sorry bro. Turns out I was working full time today."
"It's alright. Now that you're back, how bout we do something~"
Liam chuckled.
"Sorry babe. I'm pretty tired. We can do it later."
Alex groaned.
"You never want to do it. Later you'll be tired too."
Liam kissed him on the cheek.
"I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you, promise."
Liam turned and walked to his bedroom. He closed the door behind him. Alex plopped back on the couch.
"What now..."
He started flipping through the channels.
"No, no, no, no, n-"
He stopped on the porn channel.
"Yes..."
He scrolled through the photos of hot girls in bathing suits and lingerie. Then he got curious and flipped to the gay section. Somehow it interested him more.
"I guess I really am gay."
He took his dick out his boxers and began to rub it.
"Shit they're hot. I should convince Liam to wear one of those tight swimsuits."
He began to pump his dick up and down. He flipped through the pictures until he found one where a boy's face was covered in cum.
"Ah Liam~ I want to do that to you~"
He pumped violently on his cock.
"Ngh~ it's not enough. I need you Liam."
He sandwiched his dick between two couch cushions and imagined that the were actually Liam's butt cheeks.
"L-Liam you feel so good. T-te amo~"
Liam walked out of his room to get a glass of water. His vision was still blurry from sleep so he held one hand on the wall to guide him. He was about to walk to the bathroom when he heard his name being called. He walked over to the living room to see Alex doing... Something he couldn't quite make out.
Damn I don't have my contacts.
He walked a little closer and squinted.
"Alex? Are you calling me?"
Alex almost jumped out of his skin. He quickly removed himself from the pillows and put them back.
"S-sorry Liam."
"For what? What are you watching? Sorry bro I can't see a thing."
Alex turned off the tv and walked closer.
"Can you see me now?"
"Oh, yeah now I can. Did you need me? Why were you calling me?"
Alex blushed.
"U-uh, I just. It's nothing, sorry."
Liam shrugged.
"Well I guess I'm up now. So maybe we could do something now?~"
Liam said while walking his fingers up Alex's shoulder. Alex smirked.
"Where you wanna do it?"
"Bed please."
"As usual."
Alex carried Liam to the bed and gently layed him down. He stood over him at the edge of the bed. He slipped off his shirt, along with his boyfriend's and threw them on the floor. Then he took off Liam's shorts so only he was completely naked.
"Where should I lick first? Hmmm how about here."
He leant down and sucked on one of his nipples. Liam jerked slightly.
"I think you liked my decision."
"Shut up and get to it already."
"So hasty."
He nibbled in his pink bud, licking all around and using his hand to play with the other one.
"A-Alex you're too slow!"
Alex chuckled seductively and move up to his colar bones.
"No Alex! Please I don't want to walk into work tomorrow looking like a fool!"
Alex pulled back.
"You have to go back?!!"
"Uh yeah! That's how a job works!"
Alex sucked teeth.
"Whatever, it'll disappear by then anyway."
He leant down and left a love mark on his neck.
"Dude you're so pale, you're like a canvas."
"Sorry I'm not perfectly tan like you."
Alex laughed.
"No I didn't mean it like that! I think you look pretty."
Liam blushed and closed his eyes in embarrassment. Alex almost squealed.
"AHH! YOU SEE! So beautiful."
"S-stop! You're embarrassing me!!"
Alex gave him and eskimo kiss.
"Sorry, I just wish you could stay that cute forever."
"I wish I could see you clearly. And will you stop saying stupid things like that! Like I'm a baby or something!"
Alex grinned evily.
"Oh yeah?! You don't like being babied? Fine then. I'll have to treat you the way you deserve, like a naughty squid~"
Alex flipped Liam over his knee.
"Alex what are y-"
"You're ass is even paler. I'll add color to it for you!"
Liam blushed. And braced himself. Alex raised his hand and smacked hard against Liam's ass. Liam choked back tears.
"I-isn't this still kind of like b-babying me?"
"No, cute babies shouldn't get punished. But squids like you who are always talking smart should!"
*Smack!*
He smacked his hand against his ass again.
"Ow! Stop doing it so hard!"
"But tHEN YOU'LL NEVER LEARN!"
*smack!* *smack!*
Liam felt a tear threatening to escape. It hurt like hell, but something about it also felt pretty good. He would've punched Alex by now, but he wanted to see where his sadistic side would go.
"Why'd you get so quiet? Are you ready to listen now?!"
"N-no, you can't tell me what to do."
"Oh really?!"
*SMACK!*
"A-AH!~"
By now, Liam's cheeks were a deep pink.
"Wow! Are you getting hard from this?! In that case I won't stop!"
*smack*
"Ngh~"
*smack*
"Fu-fuck!"
*smack*
"Alex~"
He positioned himself so that he could rub off on Alex's leg each time he hit him.
*smack* *smack* *smack*
"I c-can't take it anymore Alex, please!"
*smack*
"Please what?!"
*smack*
"Fuck me into the floor you asshole!"
Alex flipped Liam onto his back and pulled off his shorts, revealing his hardon. He rubbed the lube on and positioned himself. He slowly began to push in, but it was more difficult than usual.
"Fuck bro, how'd you get so tight?!"
Liam moaned and closed his eyes.
"You haven't been inside for awhile I guess...there's probably cobwebs inside there."
Alex cringed at the thought of spider webs inside his friend.
"That's gross. I think I might need more lubricant."
Alex reached for the bottle, but was stopped by Liam, who grabbed his arm.
"N-no, too much will ruin it. It feels a-amazing."
Alex raised an eyebrow. Only the tip was in, and he was just gently pulling in and out, trying to get more inside the extremely tight hole.
"He must like the suction..."
He thought to himself. He did it a little harder.
"Ohhhh~ Alex. There~"
Alex was genuinely confused.
"That seriously feels good Liam?"
Liam nodded sloppily.
"Y-you can go deeper though."
Alex nodded and pushed in with force. Making the whole thing slide in at once. Liam threw his head back and grabbed the sheets. He arched his back, begging his lover to move faster.
"P-please. Deeper."
Alex complied and pulled back almost completely, then thrusted back in hard. He felt the the tip hit the back of Liam's entrence. Liam screamed in pleasure. Alex repeated his actions.
"FUUUUUU-"
*slam*
"ALEX!!"
*slam*
"YES, THERE. OH GOD HARDER PLEASE!"
*slam*
"Merde! C-c'est incroyable! Je suis à toi!"
"Dude you're going wild! You're starting to speak gibberish!"
"I-it's not gibberish! It's fren- NGH! AH!"
Alex quickened his movements.
"French? What did you say then?"
"I- I- sai- AHH~"
Liam could barely get a word out. Alex was hitting him so hard. He cursed at himself for loving this type of rough sex so much! He knew that later, there'd be a price to pay. Alex fucked him furiously. The bed began to squeak and wobble. Liam was afraid Alex actually might actually fuck him into the floor!
"Alex! I'm com-"
"Me too! Te amo Liam!"
"J-je t'aime aussi!"
"What?!"
With one last thrust, Alex filled Liam up with his cum. Liam didn't want it to stop. But the warmth that filled him only made him want to come harder.
"Ahh!"
He shot his cum all over his chest and bed. Alex fell next to him panting. Liam watched his chest heave up and down.
"What did you say Liam??"
"I- I said, I love you too..."
Alex smiled.
"What about before that? When I was doing you?"
Liam blushed nervously.
"U-uh. Nothing."
They layed there in silence.
Then he heard Alex's stomach growl.
...
"You hungry?"
"Yeah, are you??"
"Mhm."
"Let's get something to eat then."

They sat on the couch watching tv and eating sandwiches.
"Wow look at all the New Years sales."
"Whatever."
"Whoa! There's gonna be tremendous fireworks too!"
"Whatever."
"And the best part is that you'll be there to watch with me!"
"Whatev- wait. I'm not going!"
"Why?"
"I told you I don't celebrate New Years."
Alex sighed heavily.
"Why though? Tell me the truth."
Liam turned off the tv.
"Because...uh."
"What?"
"Th-that's the day I lost my parents okay..."
"Oh. Wow Liam. Now I feel like a jerk. I'm so sorry"
"It's okay. I'm over it. I just don't need any reminders okay?"
"But Liam. I promise if you come with me on New Years, I'll replace those memories. With amazing ones."
Liam smiled.
"Thanks, but I'm really not sure."
Alex put an arm around him.
"It's okay."

The next morning Liam had to wake up early again for work. And as usual Alex put up a fight.
"ALEX LET GO OF MY LEG!"
Liam was trying to get out the doorway, but Alex was gripping his ankle, trying to pull him back.
"IM NOT MISSING WORK FOR YOU!"
"CMON! JUST THIS ONCE!"
"NO ALEX!!"
Liam shook him off his leg and ran out the door.
"Man, I better not be late. He acts like there's nothing to do when I'm gone!"
Liam pushed open the door to the headgear shop.
"S-sorry I'm late!"
Annie looked up from her phone.
"You're not late."
Liam blushed.
"O-oh."
"Yeah, well today is going to be a busy day. Some of the brands just released their winter collection and it's all on sale. So be prepared to work your butt off."
Alex laughed.
"Haha, alright Ann!"
"YEAH GET TO IT LAZY BONES!"
Liam shot daggers at moe.
"S-sorry about that! Moe stop!"
"It's okay. I'm going to go restock this shelf."
"Okay."
Liam withdrew from the drama and into the storage area. He looked around for the gear. Once he found it he grabbed the ladder and began to climb.
*BZZZZZZZ!*
"Ah!"
He nearly fell of the ladder. He reached in his pocket and pulled out his phone.
"Ugh, Alex again."

'Hey babe ;3'

'What do you want Al?'

'Mind if i visit you at work l8ter?? :3:3'

'Yeah actually i do. Today's gonna be busy. Maybe tmrow, k?'

'Omg! Today's that winter sale right! Yeah I'm totally gonna stop by! K :3??'

'Fine. Just don't cause trouble!'

'I won't! <3 <3 :3 ;3'

'Liar'

'XD'

Liam sighed and put away his phone. He just knew Alex was going to find a way to make his job harder. Why couldn't he just let him do what he had to do?! Liam sighed and grabbed the set of hats above him. Oh well, he'd just have to put up with it for now.
It was about an hour in when the people started flooding in. Liam was frantically running around the store trying to please everyone. From every direction people were pulling for him. He couldn't get a break!
"Wait what size?!"
"No sorry that's the only color it comes in!"
"No I can't make it cheaper!"
"How many did you w- AH!"
He nearly tripped over someone who was looking at the bottom shelves.
"S-sorry miss! Wait, it's you!"
It was the green headed girl he had met the other day. Unsurprisingly she was wearing her hat.
The girl looked up.
"Oh Hi! I'm sorry was I in your way?"
"Oh no that's okay! You need help with something??"
"No I'm ok- WAIT! Could you help me find a hat with goggles? I saw someone wearing it but I don't see it anywhere..."
"Sure, I was actually about to put one back on its shelf."
He handed her the hat. The look on her face was something else. It looked like she was about to go off like firework any second.
"Thank you so much!! This is perfect! You have no idea how happy I am."
Liam smiled widely.
"It was no problem! But I still think you'd look cool without a hat!"
She blushed.
"Th-thanks! I- uh I have to uh."
She ripped her eyes away from him and ran back into the crowd. Liam got back to work. It was mostly dark outside. He was glad that his shift would be over soon. Thankfully things were slowing down a little and he could finally catch his breath. Until of course, a familiar inkling boy with blue tentacles and glasses came strolling into the store. Liam smiled nervously.
"Hey bro. Can I help you find something?"
Alex walked up to him.
"Eyyyy. Yeah, I want one of the parkas that everyone's getting."
"I think there's some in the back, follow me."
He walked into the storage room and grabbed the ladder. Alex walked in behind him, accidently kicking the door stopper. The door slammed shut. Liam shrieked in horror.
"NO! WHY'D YOU LET THE DOOR SHUT!"
"Huh? Oh uhhh. Sorry? What's the big deal just open it-"
He tried turning the knob but it wouldn't turn. They were clearly locked in now.
"Oh..."
"YEAH WE'RE TRAPPED NOW! Oh my squid we're trapped....w-we're trapped. In this tiny room. I can't breathe."
Liam wobbled, as if he was about to faint. Alex held his shoulders and balenced him.
"N-no! It's okay, we're okay! We're not trapped let's just knock for help."
They furiously pounded on the door, screaming for help. But their knocks couldn't be heard over the crowd.
"Ugh it's no use. We're just going to have to wait until everyone's gone."
Liam sat against one of the shelves. Alex sat next to him.
"I'm sorry. All I've done was mess things up for you."
"It's okay."
Liam felt something building up in him. It wasn't really sadness or happiness. It was more like a greatfull feeling.
"Thanks Alex. Not for getting me trapped in here with you. But for being there for me..."
"What do you mean."
"I've been wanting to talk about it for so long. But everyone assumes that I don't want to talk about it! And you finally gave me a chance."
"Talk about what?"
"My parents."
Alex smiled.
"Sure Liam. You can talk to me anytime."
He kissed him on the forehead. Liam smiled and wiped it off.
"Hey! Stop wiping my kisses!"
Alex kissed him on multiple parts of his face. Liam wiped every single one off.
"That's it!"
Alex attacked his boyfriend with kisses all over his body, until Liam was a laughing mess on the floor. Alex leant over and placed the final kiss on his lips. Liam sat up and smiled at him.
"That got me hard.."
"What the fuck?!"
They both laughed. Liam leant over to Alex's ear.
"I'm serious..."
