Shiver/Frye: Shiver giving Frye forehead kisses? Maybe something with insecurities? Or just regular soft stuff!

Been seeing a lot of Frye slander :( especially the forehead jokes...

As a pearl stan myself i will NOT stand for frye forehead slander!!! she is beautiful and the influence from south asian and/or possibly Brazilian culture in her design is SO beautiful i love her and shiver loves her <3 [Shiver uses they/them pronouns here!]

“Do you think I should get bangs?” Frye asked, twirling her tentacle hair while looking in a handheld mirror. Shiver sat behind her, helping her with styling the back of her head after she became too frustrated with the double mirror technique. Their brows furrowed in confusion, continuing to tie the ribbon around Frye’s fluorescent locks.

“Bangs? I’m not sure,” they mused. This was the first time they had heard of the inkling wanting to change her hairstyle, it took them a moment to imagine it. “Do you want to get bangs?”

Recently, Frye had been constantly checking her social medias in excitement for the splatfest, but there was a group of people who were dedicated to making jokes about her appearance. Particularly, her forehead. It was a low branch to grab at really, they couldn’t say anything to her she hadn’t heard growing up. 

Many kids had tried to bring her down and make her feel bad about herself just because she looked different, the shape of her eyes, her long ears, her wide forehead... she clearly didn’t fit in. Her mother had taught her a very important lesson one day when she came home crying after a day of teasing had really gotten to her. Just because some people don’t find you beautiful in their eyes, doesn’t mean that the whole world agrees with them. 

That phrase had always stuck with her whenever she was facing bullying in school, and it gave her confidence to be her true self. However, with all the exposure of the Anarchy Newscast and Deep Cut as a band gaining popularity, more people had started to say those hurtful things about her. As much as she tried to remind herself those comments didn’t dictate her self worth, she couldn’t help but start to think she should change her appearance. 

“I don’t know, I was just kinda thinking about it cause a lotta people have been saying I should,” Frye responded, purposefully leaving out that people suggested the hairstyle to cover up her forehead. 

Shiver had seen the posts too, and they were concerned for their girlfriend’s wellbeing with all the nasty comments she was reading. They finished up with the ribbon and secured it well, admiring the work they had done with a satisfied smile. Though, they still wanted to help Frye know she didn’t need to conform to others’ standards of beauty when she was so beautiful already.

“As much as I think you would look great with bangs, and any other hairstyle-” they wrapped their arms around Frye’s waist, pulling her back into their arms as the inkling’s head rested on their shoulder. “I love how you look most when you express yourself, your hairstyle, your jewelry, your clothes. All of it is perfect if it’s how you want to show yourself to the world.”

They leaned over, their own tentacles falling in front of their face as they kissed the temple of Frye’s head. With the small yet bright smile on her face, Shiver was encouraged to continue with more kisses pressed along her hairline, between her eyebrows, right on the tip of her nose - which made her giggle - and finally with their lips meeting in a proper kiss. Each time the octoling kissed their girlfriend, it seemed to fill her with more joy and confidence.

“Do you really think so?” Frye asked with a small hint of doubt still in her voice.

“Of course I do. Besides, I’m the only one who gets to date you, shouldn’t my opinion matter most?” Shiver teased, winking at their love.

Frye giggled again, turning around fully so she could wrap her arms fully around her partner. She thought about the phrase her mom had said to her when she was young, she really had been right. Shiver was her whole world, and the world said she was beautiful. 

She sighed, relaxing into their embrace, “Thanks, Shiv.”

Shiver x Frye fic idea: Shiver trying to maintain their "cool" composure and attitude in the face of Frye's flirting, but eventually cracking and saying something sappy. Much to Shiver's own chagrin and Frye's delight.

ABSOLUTELY!!!! I love this thought so much you have no idea, heres a lil somethin with them! [Shiver uses they/them pronouns here!]

Shiver didn't know what had gotten into Frye lately, she had been more clingy than usual and whenever the two of them were around each other it was like she was trying to make Shiver embarrassed. They had talked about their feelings for each other a while back and began dating recently, so perhaps the octoling just didn't know how romance was supposed to work compared to friendship. Maybe the over-the-top flirting was a normal phase for every blossoming love story, or perhaps an inkling custom they weren't familiar with.

The pair were lounging in the studio between newscasts while Big Man was out running a few errands for them, Frye leaning up against her partner with her head on their shoulder. Shiver had tilted their phone at an angle so both of them could watch a video of the Squid Sisters reunion concert, they had wanted to go but weren't able to make it due to preparations for the upcoming splatfest.

They sighed longingly, "I wish I could have gone, imagine hearing Calamari Inkantation live... I can only dream of it."

"Hey, don't be down about it Shiv, I'll take ya to the next one for sure! It'd be super romantic, a beautiful person like you with me on a gorgeous night in Inkopolis, now that's something to dream about." Frye nudged her head against their shoulder, a smirk dawning her face.

A crimson blush snuck up their pale skin, easily noticeable on their cheeks as if it was heavily applied makeup. Beautiful, she had said. Shiver wasn't used to compliments from anyone, nonetheless ones like that. They tried to keep their composure, replying, "Well. Yes, that is something that is nice to think about. When would they have another concert though?"

As far as they were aware, the Squid Sisters only held the few concerts for a weekend and weren't planning anymore. Unless they dropped a new album together and planned to go on tour with the new music, it didn't seem likely another one would happen very soon.

"I don't know, but I'm sayin that when they do, I'm gonna be the one to take you out for it. Even if it's in like, a whole year from now, I'll still be the luckiest girl around if I've got you. And that'll help us get to a concert for sure."

"Lucky? Do you need luck to attend a concert?" Shiver asked literally, desperately trying not to let their face turn any more red from Frye's flirting and sweet words.

The inkling sat up and turned to be face to face with her partner, "Yeah at least a little! You need to be lucky so your concert date lines up with your work schedule, the person you go with has to be free, if you're going with the most stunning octoling on the planet they have to say yes first... plenty of things, dear."

It was so overwhelmingly kind, every word of praise Frye said broke down the walls Shiver had built around their heart. It chipped away at the mask they wore to everyone else, not allowing themself to be vulnerable or trust others easily. Somehow, Frye knew how to make them open up, she knew exactly what to say and do to show them it was okay to be vulnerable.

"If you're going out with the most stunning octoling, as you put it... then I must be with the kindest, most beautiful inkling," Shiver glanced away, eyes glued to the floor as they spoke softly. Much to their surprise, Frye squealed in a high pitch tone of excitement, which startled them into looking back at their girlfriend.

"Shiver that was sooo sweet! I knew you could be sappy like that!" She embraced the other person in a hug, holding them close to her and kissing the side of their face. "You should say stuff like that more often, I really like it."

Shiver didn't quite know how to respond, but smiled at the affection they received. Talking about their feelings wasn't exactly their forte, but for Frye... it could be. "If it makes you happy, then I'll try."

The two spent a good amount of time sitting there cuddling, sharing butterfly kisses and soft smiles before their friend returned. Big Man hadn't said anything when he came back into the studio, just smiled at his best friends and continued on with his task to let them have their moment together.
