Love in the Time of Beans (Among Us Logic)

Falling for You (Bean!Player x Fallguy!Veteran)

My friends on Discord go buck wild for this dynamic, and I do too. This was inevitable.

Just a couple more kills, and Player had this round in the bag. A smirk formed on his toothy Impostor mouth as he spotted his prey -- a blue Bean with a baseball cap who'd just wandered alone into Decontamination, like a fool. He followed Bro silently into the misty hallway, trying not to make too much noise. Carefully, he drew his knife.

Bro paused to check his task list on his tablet while clouds of mist blew on him. Player took advantage of the blinding mist to approach his target. With a yell, he pounced on Bro with his knife. He stabbed again and again with his weapon, fervently, even if the Crewmate's pained cries still gave him pause.

As did the sight of Mother, Captain, and Mr. Egg standing there when the Decon doors opened, revealing a knife-wielding Player standing over Bro's corpse.

Oops.

vvvv

"Fair's fair, I guess," Player admitted as the surviving Crewmates carried him to the MIRA HQ balcony. The honor among Impostors required that he did not betray his partner, so he didn't tell them that he was working with the Gentleman. Maybe Player still stood a bit of a chance if the snooty black Bean played his cards right.

"Heave-ho!" Captain cried, and they tossed Player over the ledge. He screeched as he fell, wind roaring in his ears. He tumbled end over end, making him dizzy. Getting a grip, he chewed off the ropes tying his paws together. If he was going to end up pancaked on the ground, he wasn't going to do it all tied up. He also managed to turn himself belly up in mid-air, so he could go out seeing the sky instead of the rapidly approaching ground.

So because of that, he hit the ground and knocked himself out without having even a clue of where he was.

To his surprise, Player woke up sometime later (could have been minutes, could have been hours). He realized it wasn't the afterlife when his whole beany body ached and his head pounded. Otherwise, the giant, beady-eyed creatures looming over him made some pretty weird angels.

Each one had to stand at least six feet tall, with smooth, colorful skin and stubby limbs. They all stared down at Player. Instead of a Bean's single eye, they had white faces with two small black eyes. A pink one hesitantly reached down and poked him in the belly with its fat finger. Player squeaked at their touch.

"Hey, it's alive," a green one wearing a flower costume said. "Hm. I hope it doesn't bite."

"It's kinda cute," a teal-blue one remarked. "Look at its little paws."

Player scrambled to his feet, still embarrassingly short next to these giants. "Who are you people?"

"I'm Groovy Stomping Fish," the flower costume guy said.

"Yeah, and I'm Magic Glowing Biscuit," the teal guy added.

"No comment," was the pink guy's answer.

"Okay, but what are you?" Player inquired further. These things kind of looked like Beans, but they looked off and way too big, and it kind of creeped him out.

"We're Fall Guys!" Magic Glowing Biscuit said proudly. "The jumpingest, runningest, tail-stealingest creatures around."

"What?" That last comment made him glad he wasn't one of those Beans with a tail mutation.

"And what are you?" asked Groovy Stomping Fish. "Besides really cute."

That the Fall Guys spoke his own language was probably the fourth or fifth most surprising thing that had been thrown his way lately. Who knew, maybe it was a universal language between bean-shaped creatures.
