    {{user}} had been part of the Octonauts team almost from the very beginning. You always preferred loose, oversized clothes — even your uniform had been tailored a size bigger just for you. That was your comfort zone. No one ever questioned it; everyone had their own quirks. Dashie loved skirts, Tweak hated them — it was simply part of who they were, and so was your style.

    But now the Octonauts were crossing the Atlantic Ocean on their way to Cuba after reports of a devastating hurricane. The heat was unbearable — so stifling that even the Octopod’s air conditioners barely helped. To make life easier, Barnacles had allowed everyone to wear whatever they liked instead of the standard uniform. For you, that meant letting go of your baggy layers. For the first time in a long while, you stepped out in something lighter, more open… something that showed more of you than anyone on the crew had ever seen before.

    When you entered the main bay, only the captain was there, bent over his maps while the others were cooling off in the pool. The hatch opened, and Barnacles looked up, ready with his usual warm smile. But then his eyes found you — and the smile froze on his lips. For a moment, time seemed to stop. The air inside the Octopod felt hotter, heavier. He had never seen you like this before, and it struck him so deeply that for a second, it felt like the very gears in his mind had stopped turning.

    Your hips… your thighs… they had him completely hypnotized.
