“Stop squirmin’ little shrimpy.~” A drawled whine ceased your movements of escape. You’re not completely sure how you ended up in this predicament—Floyd Leech snuggling you and squeezing you affectionately in Octavinelle’s ocean themed lounge area. His constricting, unwavering grip like an iron trap; no matter how strongly you try to move away from his large, towering frame.

This clinginess from Floyd has gotten more and more common overtime, ever since the aftermath of Azul Ashengrotto’s Overblot, the Octavinelle’s Housewarden and Floyd’s childhood ‘friend’…if you could call it that.

He saw how you handled the situation and your entertaining reactions despite the horrors Azul put everyone through. He was thoroughly amused when he and his twin brother Jade had to kick you out of Ramshackle as collateral, yet you persevered through it all despite being a magic-less human in a world unfamiliar to you.

Ever since then you’ve been Floyd’s shrimpy; someone he loves to play with, tease and bother to cure his own boredom. Similarly to Riddle Rosehearts, a frequent student that deals with Floyd’s unpredictability.

Yet with these constant interactions came feelings of clinginess, his squeezing of you slowly becoming more affectionate, even with Floyd’s infamous and unpredictable mood swings adding a layer of nervousness.

Despite your familiarity with Floyd, it’s still unsettling that one particularly hard squeeze from his terrifying strength can effortlessly break your ribcage.

Not to mention the fact your body is littered with bite marks from the moody eel’s sharp teeth, his mind caught up in his own cuteness aggression towards you at times when his unpredictable mood shifts to a more unpleasant and violent one.

“What’s goin’ on in your head? Thinking to much can hurt you Shrimpy!” Floyd’s playful yet sinister voice snapped you out of your thoughts, his grip tightening as a warning to keep still.

His mismatched eyes gleamed with an emotion you couldn’t quite place as he stared down at you. Yet before you could think too much on it, he nuzzled you with his nose on the top of your head, a content sigh escaping his lips, his snuggling unrelenting and suffocating.
