Side tracked scientist (a floofty x reader fic)

Flooftys POV
I awoke to the sun beaming though the window of my hut, stepping out to see Y/N walk off toward sizzling sands, at least they wouldn't overhear them as much as they enjoyed their company during their small rests in snaxburg and taking a break from catching bugsnax for the grumpuses own reasons. I sigh as I walk toward the research tent, as always Mrs Lottablog was looking over and checking another skeleton one that to the untrained eye would've looked the the same skeleton from a week ago, I tapped her shoulder to catch her attention which startled her a bit "oh heya Floofty! You get some good rest last night?" I reply "Mrs lottablog-" "floofty I told ya to just call me by the name, no need for formalities when we been on this island for this long". I let out a small huff before continuing "Triffany.......I wish to ask you a important question......" She gave a small confused expression before responding "Oh sure! I should be able to answer it" I gather up a little bit of courage I had at the time to say it but it came out "you probably know of the incident of last night....." She simply nodded, I sigh and continue "you see, since I have decided to start the project which nearly happened I had started to....feel something that I am unfamiliar with..." "Well go and describe it to the best of your ability" I began to explain the whole thing for her to gain the context, from the frist somewhat quilty pang in their chest after telling Y/N to a similar pang that felt strangely nice when they placed their paw on their shoulder and gave that comforting smile, leaving out the conversation that they and Snorpy had for privacy reasons. They looked at them a slight dumbfounded before shaking it off "you know floofty, I've felt that before" I tilted my head out of curiosity, chuckling a bit before she continued "floofty, your I love with Y/N" I felt heat rush to my cheeks, thanking evolution for giving me thick fur that hid it "W-what" "It's actually how I felt back when I first met wambus ya'know, same feeling of guilt whenever I had left to go explore some ruins only to return to our shared apartment back when we were in college covered in cuts. He'd panic and make sure I was ok and I always assured him I was-" she stopped for a moment when she realized she was rambling again "....point is, I think you need to tell Y/N about your feelings for them. It's ethier that or risking never seein' them again" I thought about it for a moment, triffany was right, the minute they could get off the island Y/N would get their story and a lot of fame for being part of the one group to survive snaktooth and they would've used bugsnax for their potential medical abilities, the chance of them meeting again after leaving the island was lower then the bottom of the ocean so if they really wanted to get it off their chest it's here. I snap from my thoughts "how do I tell them?" Triffany thought for a moment before an idea came to them "there should be a party later tonight to commemorate snaxburg and our little found family here, and other then that, it's probably the best time to actually tell them" I simply nod and thanked triffany for her help and went to my work table, standing above a pinned down dead grapesketo I have put there for research nights ago before getting started on my work.....
