blue octopus weirdo.

lin & spongebob had been close close friends for over a decade, close to two. so when lin found himself wanting to move, start fresh & leave his hometown, spongebob begged lin to be his neighbor. lin, happy to be closer to his good friend & eager to make new friends, happily obliged. in due time, lin had become neighbors with spongebob, patrick & squidward as well!
in his brand new mango shaped house, he is welcomed into the small neighborhood with open arms by all but one.. a snooty, arrogant, sassy, adorable, dreamy.. uhm.. octopus.
seeking a job, spongebob talks to mr. krabs & in the snap of a finger lin is hired. at the krusty krab, he finds himself closer to squidward than ever before and he certainly isnt complaining. being so close to him, constantly exchanging glances or in squidwards case awkard side eyes, and working together made lin fall for squidward quite fast and per usual, once lin sets his mind on something there isnt anything that can stop from getting what he wants & he wants squidward more than words can describe.. he just isnt very sure that squidward wants him back, yet. but unbeknownst to lin, the yearning is mutual & squidward just cant seem to get lin out of his mind. slowly but surely, the two find themselves flirting back n forth at work, though both oblivious to the others intentions. after a long feeling few months, lin stays late at work due to spongebob calling in sick and as he is about to walk out the door he hears the same nasaly voice he hears in his dreams.. "wait, can i walk you home?" squidward blurts out, hoping he isnt blushing too noticably (he is). and so the two walk home together, chatting the entire time until its time to split ways and go to sleep.. &
to lins demise, not together.
within the next 3 weeks, the two walk eachother home nightly, parting ways each time, until one night lin grabs ahold of squidwards tentacle and exclaims "come in with me, ill get ya a drink! maybe a snack!" & of course, squidward shyly accepts the offer. lin grabs them both a drink, a small snack to share, dims the lights, sits on the couch offering his sweet blue boy a seat with him, and turns on a movie. not an hour passes before lin finds himself curled up into squidward, hardly able to keep himself awake and squidward softly playing with lins fluffy hair & it doesnt take much longer for both of them pass out, falling into one another and snoring as if it were the comfiest theyd ever been. at the moment, squidward & lin arent using any relationship labels.. but everyone, including them, is well aware of the feelings they have for eachother, squidward often being teased for the way he lights up around lin & lin being teased for how happy he acts now that hes got a boy wrapped around his.. tentacles.

lin is good friends with spongebob, the two are very close & love eachother a lot. patrick was jealous at first seeing how close they are, but has come to be quite close with lin as well now that he doesnt feel threatened. sandy appreciates lins presence in the group, but wishes he were less dumb sometimes. mr. krabs is thankful to have another worker, especially one who makes squidward actually want to come in. plankton wishes he hated lin more but since lin treats him so kindly he cant help but like him atleast a little bit & everyone else is pretty happy to have him around!
lin is a lovely lil guy :3 very cheeky, friendly, goofy asf, happy & very unserious. he would refer to himself as a rizzler if he wasnt a grown ass man (octopus).
