Chapter Text
She had to get away from Inkopolis Square. She didn't care what it took, there was no way in hell she could stay here any longer. She was willing to move anywhere, just to get away from here.
Hannah Silvers was the only remaining member of the former league group known as the "Ink Snakes," which had disbanded after two of it's members, and her best friends, died. Claire Reveila, nicknamed "Viper" went missing, after going to the bad part of Inkopolis, known as the Trench to do something for Jason Shell, another member. His nickname had been "Diamondback" and after realizing he was the reason Claire wasn't coming back, he committed suicide, by jumping into water 2 hours after removing his Respawn band, the wrist-worn device that would've respawned him.
That was a year ago. Now, a new disaster was tormenting Hannah. A week ago, her younger sister Jenna, (secretly Agent 4) went on a recon mission as instructed by Marie. Yesterday, late in the afternoon, Marie had contacted Hannah to tell her that she hadn't been able to communicate with Jenna for nearly a week, and that she was being officially recorded as Missing-in-Action. Hannah couldn't believe it. Within just over a year, she had lost the 3 inklings closest to her. That's when she decided she couldn't stay in Inkopolis Square anymore. There was too much death around her.
Unfortunately, it wasn't as easy as just getting up and moving. Hannah didn't have the money to move anywhere else; her job as a barista at a local coffee shop didn't pay near well enough. And she wasn't going to even think about taking a job at Grizzco, she was too scared. Hannah hated how cowardly she was. Marie had originally attempted to recruit her first, but she was too scared to become an agent. She had recommended to Marie her little sister Jenna, who was much braver than her. Jenna took the responsibly with stride. In relatively short time, she had saved both Callie of the Squid Sisters, and the Great Zapfish. Hannah was proud of her. She was supposed to be Jenna's role model, being the older sister, (if even by a few minutes) yet Hannah looked up to Jenna.
Hannah had thought that she might have to stay in Inkopolis Square, until she met Him. Evan Briar. A cute inkling boy who stole her hearts, after being hired to the coffee shop she worked at. He may have been a little rough around the edges, but Hannah saw something in him worth keeping. He kept his tentacles down, and normally maintained a orange tentacle color, though the coffee shop they worked at required dark green as part of the outfit. Hannah's hair was the new single-curvy-side tentacle that was craze nowadays, that she normally kept yellow colored.
Not too long after meeting Jason, they had begun dating, and he moved in with her. He cheered her up whenever he could, which she needed now more than ever, with the loss of her best friends and sister. Every day she was in Inkopolis was hell. Hannah would commonly come home to the apartment she and her sister called home, and break down crying, missing her sister more than anyone. And Evan was always there to comfort her, ready to hold her in his arms to help calm her down, and let her know everything was going to be okay. Early into the relationship, Hannah had told him that she wanted to move out of Inkopolis Square as soon as possible, but she couldn't afford it. She knew he was a keeper when he told her that he would gladly help save up enough money with her, so they could move somewhere else together. They dreamed of moving to Inkopolis Heights, the posh city a few hours from Inkopolis Square, however they knew that would be inkredibly expensive, and it was highly possible they would have to move to the Trench first, until they could save enough money to find a place to live in Inkopolis Heights. Hannah hated the thought of moving to the place Claire went missing, but she knew that it was the Trench or Inkopolis Square. And there was no way she was staying in Inkoplis Square. Evan had offered to take up a part time job at Grizzco in addition to the barista job, but Hannah adamantly refused, given how risky it was, she wasn't going to lose another person she loved. So they settled with keeping their single barista jobs, putting every spare coin towards the eventual move.

Finally after a year of boring coffee shop, numerous emotional breakdowns, and dozens of hours of planning, they had enough. They could finally get away from all the death that surrounded Hannah. They were going to move to the Trench first, find better paying full time jobs, and save enough money to hopefully move to Inkopolis Heights, but only after they had procured jobs there. It would be foolish to move to such an expensive place without knowing they could pay for it.
When Hannah and Evan finally settled down in the Trench, overall, they were happier than they ever were before. They did have some fights like any couple does, but everything usually worked out in the end. Evan found a job as a circuitry technician, that payed decent. Evan insisted that she got a job as well, to help finance the move to Inkopolis heights, but she wanted to stay at home so she could relax and work around the house. She planned to get a good job in Inkopolis Heights, so she wanted the time she spent in the Trench to be relaxing, as well as recover from what she had been through in Inkopolis Square. Evan didn't like this proposition; he wanted Hannah to work too, so they could get out of the Trench faster. They talked about it often, but after only a few months of pressing Hannah to get a job, they got into a heated argument. At the peak of the argument, Evan had quote-unquote "accidently" slapped Hannah. And that's when they both discovered something they hadn't expected.
Their fetishes.
