Side tracked scientist (a floofty x reader fic)

Flooftys POV

I'm not sure when we started fighting anymore, 2 minutes ago? 20 minutes ago? An hour? But what I know for certain was that we were starting to be attacked by bugsnax at all angles, I had partnered up with shelda to try and fight them off until someone got the boat ready. I was knocking back as many as I could before I realized that a snakquri was coming straight at me, but it was too late to knock it back and I was already so tired I just watched as it came closer before a large peice of scrap metal knocked it into the ground and caused the snakquri to turn into a orangeish pink goo. Looking at the throwers direction I saw Y/N with colorful splashes of goo coated their F/C fur "what on earth is going on?!" I yelled before they replied "no time! I'll tell you on the flight back!" They motioned to me to hand over my brother's changed up snak grappler, anyone else I would've rejected but they knew this thing way more then I could at that moment so I quickly handed over the thing before grabbing the scrap metal. We had fought long and hard, nearly coming to many close calls and brushes with death before the snaks we're all dispatched, multicolored goo covering the ground. Y/N motioned us to make a run for the boat, shelda took it but I wanted to help, there was no motive behind it, no promise of something other than freedom and insisted I joined them which they accepted with a bit of fear still in them. So many close calls happened where the snaks would get to close to us to a point that one of us would fall victim to them if we weren't careful, but with quick thinking and the thoughts of getting of this grump forsaken island we fought back. We started our run toward the boat when Y/N fell to the unforgiving dirt floor that was followed by the sound of something snapping, pulling Y/N the rest of the way as filbo started the boat. Our hope almost vanished as a mothza supreme flew Infront of us, threatening to blow us off the boats deck down it was tackled away by another bugsnax monster, though it was one I didn't recognize before I saw the two familiar grumpueses, lizbert and eggabell. "Thank you Liz....egg...." I heard filbo let out as we began to float off.......

(Time skip)
It had been an hour since we began our flight, Y/N was lucky enough to scrape by with just a sprained ankle, thank goodness and we weren't going to reach land until another hour. Filbo had been steering the ship and I thought back to my attempt of a confession, and I finally got my courage to try and tell them....

Y/Ns POV
I sat on my cot under the deck, floofty sitting nearby as we sat in silence. A silence that was broken by them "hey Y/N......." I looked at them "I never got to finish what I was going to say back at the party...." I remembered back at the party, way before we even knew bugsnax we're parasites, way before when we fought for our lives against hordes of bugsnax. I nodded and I saw them let out a sigh before continuing "Y/N the truth is......I like you.....like........like like you......" I felt blush rush to my cheeks as they said that but floofty just sighed "it's fine if you don't wish to reciprocate these feelings of mine, just tell me-" I tilted their head up to me before kissing floofty who tensed up before leaning into it, breaking away for air I smile "floofty.....I love you too......"

Epilogue
Y/Ns POV

It has been a few weeks since my firing at GNN and got a different journalism job, I had finally gotten it cleared up that I was infact not dead with the help of floofty and speaking of which, we decided to live together after our confession. Things with Filbo's campaign for being mayor had been a success and everyone was off onto bigger and better things, I was currently sat down on our couch as we looked over the photos sent to us from our old friends on snaktooth, turning to floofty with a smile before being a peck on the cheek to them "I love you", I say, they smile and reply "I love you too....."

(You got ✨The good ending!✨)
