Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality...

Another day, another mind boggling trip to the Krusty Krab. Squidward sighed as he got out of bed groggily, putting on his usual brown polo and Krusty Krab work uniform, which just consisted of a hat. Why he even bothered, he didn't know anymore.

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see...

He opened his window just in time to be ear raped yet again by Spongebob's incredibly loud foghorn. Oh how he hated that thing with a passion. "Spongebob! Turn that thing off immediately! It's going to give me a headache!" He yelled down to his neighbor, who had just woken up. The foghorn was off in a matter of seconds.

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy...

Squidward slammed his window shut, grumbling as to how he never got a chance to get fresh air/water due to that thing.

Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low...

Squidward walked out of his house, followed by the annoying little prick. He sighed, ignoring him as he looked around the street. Not much happened here, which pleased Squidward. Peace and quiet is really all he needed.

Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me...

He never got that chance often though, he sometimes had to force it by ignoring his neighbors or blasting the television.

Mama, just killed a man...

Work didn't help the situation either. Noisy people and disgusting food served to them on a silver platter.

Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead...

But it all changed when he met you.

Mama, life had just begun, but now I've gone and thrown it all away...

He didn't feel the need to thrash and burn the place down, or call the cops on his annoying neighbors, or yelling at his boss for another raise. All because you swam through the door.

Mama! Ohhhh. Didn't mean to make you cry...

A quiet, and yet attentive creature. That's all he ever wanted. And he was finally going to get his wish.

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, carry on carry on...

"Hello," you said. Your voice, the coo of a dove. The moment you spoke butterflies had been released in his stomach.

As if nothing really matters...

"Uh... H-Hello, welcome to th-the krabby patty, home of the Krusty Krab. I-I mean..." He hated himself, he was messing things up.

Too late, my time has come...

You didn't seem to care though, laughing away at his futile efforts. "Hey, it's ok. Everyone makes mistakes."
"I-I suppose so.. What would you like to eat?"
"Just a (favorite food) and a (size/favorite drink), with some (side food) on the side please."
"A-Alright, coming up.."

Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time...

You sat down after your order came, munching on your food as your tail swayed back and forth gently. Squidward couldn't take his eyes off of you, your beauty making him feel warm and fuzzy inside. He felt like he was under a spell when looking at you.

Goodbye everybody, I've got to go...

You left after a while, and the day went on as normal. Or supposedly normal.

Gotta leave you all behind to face the truth...

The day ended and Squidward went home. He fell asleep dreaming of you, someone he didn't even know the name to.

Mama! Ohhh (any way the wind blows)...

The next day was the same. You came back for your regular order, Squidward happy for once in his life. This time, before you sat down, he asked your name. "Oh! My apologies! My name is (Y/N)!"
"My name is Squidward, nice to meet you."

I don't wanna die! I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all...

A third day seeing you. What a coincidence. He smiled all the same for you though, the only one he'd ever smile for.

I see a little silhouette of a man...

"Hello, may I take your order?" He asked. You smiled and giggled at those words, his face fading into confusion. "And what's so funny, huh?"
"Oh nothing! Just your smile is so cute!"
"Huh?" This made him visibly blush, making you giggle more.

Scaramouche! Scaramouche! Will you do the fandango?...

"Anyway, can I get your number?" You asked innocently, looking at the dumbfounded man. "Uh... S-Sure." He wrote down his number on a piece of notepad paper, handing it to you. You did the same on the same piece of paper but tore off yours to hand to the man.

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening me...

The next day you decided to call your new friend. He picked up almost immediately. You two talked for what seemed like hours before you had to go due to sleep.

Galileo! Galileo. Galileo! Galileo. Galileo figaro...

He seemed sad to hang up, you did too. You didn't want to, but your body had needs and so did his.

(Magnifico-o-o-o!) I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me...

He called you up the next day when you woke up, asking nervously, "W-Will you go out with me?.." You nearly screamed with excitement but somehow managed to keep your cool. "Yeah! That would be awesome!"

He's just a poor boy from a poor family, spare him his life from this monstrosity...

The first date of many. He sighed happily as you ate your food and talked about whatever was on your mind. It pleased him, seeing you come out of your shell with him around.

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?...

After the date he drove you home, but not before giving you a small kiss on the lips. With which you responded with an even bigger kiss back, which surprised the man. In a good way.

Bismillah! No! We will not let you go...

You didn't live very far from his house so Squidward would drive up to visit you every now and then.

Let him go! Bismillah! We will not let you go...

You enjoyed his company, and he did yours. After a few dates you were officially his lover.

Let him go! Bismillah! We will not let you go!...

Some days you two would talk until the sun set in the east. Other days you two would play music or paint together. It was peaceful.

Let me go! Will not let you go! Let me go! Will not let you go...

One day he even took you to work. Now you understood how he felt towards the fry cook and his lazy friend. But you didn't hate him for it. You didn't hate the two nuisances either.

Oh let me go-o-o-o! No no no no no no no!

He didn't like to talk about the two much, as even the topic annoyed him. But it wasn't his fault. Everyone gets annoyed at something.

Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go!

After work he drove you home again, kissing you on the lips before heading home himself.

Beelzebub, has the devil put aside for me? For me? For me?...

His dreams were filled with you. Happy, peaceful, tranquil thoughts. No more angry, depressed, torturous thoughts.

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?...

He didn't want these dreams to end. So he kept you close in his heart. Never letting you go.

So you think you can love me and leave me to die?...

Love has a way of making people feel at home, even when they aren't. Even when they're far away, they still feel right at home when they hear the names of their lovers.

Ohhhh baby, can't do this to me baby...

He tossed and turned all night, wanting you by his side.

Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here...

He awoke the next day, his thoughts in gear.

(Ohhhhh, oh yeah, oh yeah...)

He went to a local shop and bought something for you. He drove off to your house and knocked on the door.

Nothing really matters, anyone can see...

You opened the door, looking at Squidward. "Yes Squidward?" You asked.

Nothing really matters, nothing really matters, to me...

He got down on one knee and looked up at your surprised but overjoyed face at what was happening.

Any way the wind blows...

"Will you marry me?"
