(DISCONTINUED) When the Crocuses Bloom

Chapter 32

Winter's POV:

I stepped into the room and followed Tommy down a set of shittly made stone steps.

My bag was starting to get heavy so I couldn't wait to put it down.

We stepped into a run down ravine covered with walkways.

"You live here?" I questioned. Tommy looked at me and crossed his arms.

"Yeah, got a problem?" He asked.

"No, just thought that I taught you how to build better." I said, punching him in the arm.

He stuttered and eventually gave up on speaking.

"Where can I put my bag?" I asked, walking around the ravine.

"Anywhere!" He said, opening his arms wide. "Perks of living here." He smirked at me.

I rolled my eyes and set my bag down by a wall.

"Do you guys sleep?" I asked, not seeing any beds.

"Duh," Tommy said, rolling his eyes. "Not on beds tho…" he mumbled.

I smiled softly, opening my bag. I'd packed some extra mats quickly before leaving.

No one should sleep on stone.

I pulled out the three mats I had and laid them out.

"Well now you have somewhere to sleep." I said, opening the air valve on each.

"They'll finish blowing up in about 40 mins," I looked at Tommy. "Don't touch them until then."

"I won't," he whined.

I lifted one eyebrow.

"Uh huh." I said leaning back down to my bag. I chucked the blankets I had brought on the floor.

Tommy's eyes lit up when I pulled out his red one.

"You bought it with you?!" He asked. I smiled and nodded. I knew how much he loved that blanket.

I handed it to him. I took off my swords and handed him the netherite one.

He gawked at me as I placed the sheathed sword in his hands.

"Winter- I can't take this!" He tried to hand it back to me but just pushed it back towards him.

"You need it more than me, Tommy." I said, smiling. "I need to make new weapons anyway."

"Wilbur can have this one," I said, putting the diamond one to the side.

"Wilbur can have what?"

I stopped unpacking and turned my head towards my brother.

"I was saying you could have my sword." I said standing up and walking towards him.

I engulfed him in a hug. He hugged me back.

"God, you do look different." He muttered when we finally parted.

"What, thinked Tommy was exaggerating?" I laughed.

"A bit," he nodded with a chuckle.

"He does do that a lot."

"I heard that!"  He yelled down the ravine.

"I know, you child!" I called back. Noises of protests came from his direction but I ignored him.

I was so happy to be back with my family.

I pulled Wilbur over to my bags and showed him what I had.

After about half an hour, the mats were ready and I closed the valves and placed the blankets on them.

"Have you guys even set your spawn points?" I asked.

Not that it really mattered.

Before anyone could answer me, Tubbo came running into the ravine.

"Schlatt's coming!" He said puffing.
