"How did you and Kelp meet?"
Coral: We were put in the same army fighting against DJ Octavio's own Crimson Octarian army and just like our enemy, the army that Kelp and I were part of was comprised of many different Octarian subspecies, except that, they were Ringed Octarians. It happened one fateful day, my brother and I was on a mission to find the final bus needed to complete a nomadic base so General Anemone's army, which is the aforementioned army fighting against DJ Octavio, could have a safe place to stay while also having the same place move to tactical locations when needed. The floor was wet not with ink but with water, so it was extra dangerous. There I saw, a cute girl who would become my girlfriend, she was desperate as she was surrounded by Octolings who worked for the enemy, about to be splatted.
"So what happened after that?"
Coral: My brother and I coordinated an attack on the enemy group to save that Octoling. A Crimson Octoling who used to work with the enemy who is now against them would come into the picture and actually help us. So with our efforts combined, we managed to save the Ringed Octoling that became my girlfriend.
"Is that how the relationship started?"
Coral: Not entirely, I wasn't interested in her initially, but she had a crush on me. I didn't realize it at that time, but she wouldn't stop staring at me when we continued our search for the bus. Heck, she even hugged my arm immediately after she got up. Once the four of us finally reached our destination, we had to battle more of the enemy to claim that final needed bus. We managed to steal the key from one of them and managed to find the bus, returning to our General with it. Once we got there, Anemone had a whole speech about fighting through the hard times even when we were at a numbers disadvantage at the time and giving us directions on how we could be able to turn the tide of the war in our favor, he handed us uniforms that made Octolings look attractive enough to form romantic relationships with other Octolings, and yes, that even affected Kelp and me.
This was Anemone's intent all along, he told everyone once we finally reached the surface. Anyways, I was originally going to share a room with Clam, but General Anemone decided that Clam shares a room with the defected Crimson Octoling to make sure he isn't a spy. So I instead had to share a room with Kelp. Once we got to our room, Kelp and I decided to try out the uniforms.
"If I may interject, what did the uniforms look like?"
Coral: It had a different appearance depending on the sex but both versions were actually armor. Guys had the entire front of the armor open, showing their entire front, including the chest, but they had the option to close it a little, while girls had their armor show their midriff. Now you know how it made us Octoling soldiers attractive.
"You may continue with how you and Kelp became a couple."
Coral: So as I mentioned before, Kelp and I tried out our uniforms looking away as a respect to our privacy. I tried out my armor first and Kelp speeded towards me where she put her hand on my chest, I could tell her heart rate was fast. Before she could faint, she tried out her armor. When I looked after she put her armor on, I felt my own hearts beat faster. At the time, I haven't felt this way before, then I realized very soon: I was in love. So I asked her to be my girlfriend, I was scared that she would say no but before that thought continued on, she agreed with a lot of enthusiasm. The first thing we did as a couple was kiss. Our first kiss wasn't the typical quick kiss, we actually made out without realizing the door to our room was open. Clam and the Crimson Octoling saw everything, regardless, Kelp didn't take her hands off my shoulder and I didn't take my hands off her waist either. Clam and the Crimson Octoling left to give us more privacy, but not before closing the door.
And that's the story of how Kelp became my girlfriend.
