I'm back!
Okay so if memory serves me right, Christgladiator asked for a part two on my one shots Trapped Together as well as Escort so I decided to combine them! The title is confusing I know but the pairs are still Cody X KrakenKid and CannibalCrab X Professor Pikalus with no complications. Without further ado, let's do this!
Cody
Rushing down the pavement, my heart beat only kept rising. "Crap! Crrraaaap!" I hissed to myself and glanced around. "Come on... Come on!"

I did my best to go faster but my legs had reached maximum speed and my chest heaved. Turning the corner, I avoided contact with other Atlanteans, using the darkness as my cover. They didn't need to know I was down here and if any word got to Rasmus, he'd definitely want to know why I lied to him and the truth was something I worked hard to keep to myself. Not to mention he might find a way to ground me.

However upsetting the person I was visiting oddly scared me more than Rasmus which is saying a lot. If you've ever seen him mad, you will have nightmares and have trouble looking him in the eye for a week. But once again, this was more important.

Finally on the edge of the fields, there they were. A shadowy figure sat at the table, just watching as I hastily approached. Finding them would be a lot harder if the yellow eyes didn't give off an eerie glow to them. They narrowed at the sight of me.

"Well, well, well. You are," The eyes glanced at a watch they brought along. "27 minutes and 54 seconds late." Slowing as I reached there, the male stood up. "What do you have to say for yourself Maverick?" Their purple arms crossed.

I held up my flipper, signaling him to hold on as I caught my breath. It had been a long time since I ran like that. Taking in a long breath, I explained. "Rasmus. He just kept talking on and on and wouldn't let me leave without a valid reason so I told him I was helping some citizens. I swear it took me a long time to get her and I was running as fast as I could." They nodded along, inspecting my face, possibly for lies or because they wanted to.

"So," I gave the kraken my most charming grin. "Do I get off the hook?"

KrakenKid tried to stay serious but his mouth kept twitching until a smile broke out. His eyes rolled.

"Fiiiine. I'll take it. Sit down." Silently high giving myself for my excellent charming abilities, I obeyed and asked a question of my own.

"So KrakenKid?" He made a 'Hmm?' sound. "Why were you just sitting here in the dark?"

"Well after the first ten minutes of you being late to our date, I figured I wouldn't waste anymore candle wax. Besides, didn't it give me a more mysterious look?" He grinned.

I stifled a laugh. "Actual it just made you look like a nerd." Before he could protest, I added in, "But you're a cute nerd." And made him get all flustered instead.

As KrakenKid recovered from that, his throat cleared. "A-Anyways... Do you remember what date we're on now?"

I hesitated, counting back. "... Nine?" Making the Tide Changer's eyes roll. "Ten. You always forget the shooting range."

"Ohhh yeah! Sorry but it seemed more like a hang out than a date. The only thing that made it different was the kiss at the beginning and end."

The kraken shrugged. "It still counts. Before I forget, here's dinner."

Lighting the candles again, I could see clearly again. The table had the classic table cloth and candle lights along with plates and utensils. The only thing differing it was the fact that the cloth was purple. KrakenKid put down spaghetti on the plates and both of us began to dig in. As I chewed, a thought came to me.

"So if this is our tenth date, we are probably dating now right?"

When he didn't respond I looked up. KrakenKid was staring off into the distance blankly but finally said something. "Huh... You're right. Holy smokes I didn't even think of that! We've been on ten dates and for the most part haven't kill each other... We're dating now!" He exclaimed loudly.

I raised an eyebrow. "Are you okay man?" KrakenKid nodded. "Yeah. Sorry, it's just that I haven't dated someone in ages so this is kinda weird. Plus, like ten dates and one day ago I was plotting your death and the downfall of everything you built and now I'm eating spaghetti and dating you... What does this mean?"

The yellow eyes drifted down to his plate. "Cody... I can't fight you if I'm dating you. What does this mean for my criminal empire? I can't just abandon them!"

I shook my head. "But think of it like this. Let's say we unite our two groups with a strong relationship. Your Tide Changers are super strong and can often give us a run for our money but together we could build the ultimate army! Atlantis will become a better place and so much stronger! All of this could happen if we date and eventually become more."

Reaching out, I grabbed his arm gently making him look up and our eyes met. In seconds, he smiled. "Thanks buddy. Or I guess I should say Boyfriend now huh?"

"Yep. Speaking of boyfriend, can this boyfriend have a kiss?"

KrakenKid made it look like he was making a tough decision before saying, "Hmm... I think you can."

Getting up, I circled around to him and he stood as well. I pressed our lips together and all sorts of fireworks were going on inside me. I paused for a moment, but looked at him, my face inches from his. I gazed into those hypnotizing eyes before leaning in again.

"KRAKENKID?"
"CODY?"

Two different voices made us jump away and whip around to the source. Behind us was CannibalCrab and Professor Pikalus staring us down with shocked looks.

"What are you doing?" Pikalus looked between us. Unfreezing, I found myself stumbling to speak.

"We were... Face battling..." Why do I speak?

Both of their eyebrows raised. "Face battling?" The crab questioned. "Isn't that a fancy way of saying kissing?"

"No! I was going to ram my head into his!" KrakenKid did his best to deny it but both still had skeptical looks.

"Okay, even if somehow that was true, what's with the fancy dinner layout behind you?" There might have been two of us, but both of us were idiots and couldn't come up with a valid excuse.

"I-... What are you doing together?" The leader of the Tide Changers retaliated. I expected that to be blown off quickly but to my surprise, the pair squirmed at the answer.

"I was checking out the area and I ran into him and then we saw you. End of story. Nothing else happened."
"Nothing! Nothing at all!"

If their answer wasn't suspicious enough, I noticed something that brought it all down.

"Why are you holding hands?"

Upon hear it, they broke it off and looked away. Thought it was hard to tell with Cannibal, Professor's face was as red as a cherry.

"B-because... Science! I was, uh, checking his pulse to see if he was scared! Yep, that's it."

KrakenKid and I exchange looks. "You two are dating aren't you?"

CannibalCrab let out a nervous laugh, glancing around. "Pffft! No! W-why would we be dating? I mean seriously! When would we even have the time to-"

"How long?" KrakenKid demanded.

"Remember how you got mad at me for buying 300 phones? Around then is when I asked him out."

"As for me, it was when I went crazy in hulk mode."

Silence passed through the air before we all just awkwardly exchange looks.

"So all of us are dating someone else in this circle?" The other three nodded. "This certainly complicates things... Rasmus is going to kill us."

"At least Rasmus will have mercy. Have you seen Darrel? He doesn't hesitate to slap you if you do something stupid."

All of us let out a nervous laugh thinking of what everyone in Atlantis would say to the relationships. They would have to tell them sooner or later.
**************************
Ta da! Combined ideas to make one mega idea!

I hope you all enjoyed it because I can't tell if this was what you wanted. Be sure to comment and tell me how I did! Bye!
