Side tracked scientist (a floofty x reader fic)

Flooftys POV

I sigh as I put on my bowtie as I walked out from my hut, people were in their own places talking or doing whatever. The entirety of the middle of snaxburg was decorated, from the two party balls to the bunches of balloons, not to mention the clear night it was. This should've been the perfect night though they were having a bit of trouble hyping themselves up to just say it, it shouldn't have been that hard! All they had to say was 'I love you', why couldn't they get the courage to do so?!
I've been mostly just sticking to Snorpington who was not that happy about me being there, probably tacked on by me not wanting to tell him with the consern being that anyone could hear them, grump forgive if beffica learned of it and decided to gossip to every grumpus. Thoughts raced though my head as I stood there when it was interrupted by Y/N coming up to me. "Hey floofty! Why don't you come dance?" I opened my mouth to speak, to finally get this feeling off my chest yet nothing came out. For grumps sake! Why can't I say it?! but I knew they were expecting me to answer "My apologies, but I have no use for rhythmic gyrations" they simply shrugged and left. I knew they were probably going to convince me to come on and dance somehow, but this would give me more time to think of a way to just tell them. I saw as more and more of snaxburgs residents came to dance then soon Mrs lott- Triffany came up to me, telling me about the importance of how something known of the desert dance was I was slightly interested however when the journalist who was standing nearby focused on something else she whispered to me "soons your chance, good luck there floofty" I nodded and decided audibly to go and dance where Y/N gives a smile toward me before walking over to Snorpington, I felt the pang in my chest again before I went to dance. Soon Shelda, Chandlo, and Snorpington came onto the dance floor, watching Y/N go upstairs I looked to Triffany who gave a nod, taking a deep breath I slowly made my way up, they had stopped talking to filbo who was now just overlooking the party. Y/N looked at me with a smile "oh hey floofty, is there something you want to talk about?" I nod, pepping myself up "look Y/N, we haven't been on this island for long but I have seen to grow an attachment to you...." Y/N looked at me with confusion "look the point is-" that's when I heard sheldas voice from behind me "Our end is nighhhh...." "W-wha!? End!? Is that a metaphor or-" filbo started before the ground began to shake, I felt Y/N grab my wrist and ran out of what was lizbert and eggabells home with filbo and shelda behind and soon watched everything collapse around us. And of course grumpuses began to freak out with a sentiment ending it that we'd have to stick together when I heard that familiar voice. "Well said filbo" we turned to the voice and almost in unison we shouted "EGGABELL?!" "Heh....that's me, listen I think I finally figured it out but I'm going to need the journalist and filbo to help, I look over at Y/N who stood in silence and only giving a small nod and as we began to spilt up to help fortify the town and ready to leave the island in the case of emergency, I grabbed Y/Ns paw and letting out a sigh "listen...just be careful, I don't know how many more earthquake will occur here so just be safe" they smiled at me before responding "don't worry, everything is going to be fine...." They gave me one quick hug before catching up with filbo and eggabell as I ran up to go help the rest of the town........so much for the perfect night eh?
