ten: crystals

wooyoung

the day after san got bit by the piranha, I go outside to explore. san can't do much now that he's bed ridden, so it's up to me to figure things out. it's more dangerous doing stuff alone, but now that I can't put him in danger by going somewhere we haven't been yet, I can start taking risks. I'm basically dora, but off the rails and with common sense, a daring combo with too much power I'd say.

before I collided with san here, I started to search around the mountains. I never got far because of how cold it was, but now that we've evolved I think I'll be able to stand it. so I've come to a, very life changing and amazing, conclusion: climb the mountain.

I start my climb right when I wake up in the morning, but not after fawning over san's cute pout when he's sleeping. on the way up, I gather berries and anything else edible so san won't starve after I get back. there's a lot of dinosaurs on the mountain, which I noted, none of which were harmful so far.

the walk is long and boring, the only view ahead of me being the familiar trees and grime covered mountain with dinosaur feces in the strangest spots. the weirdest thing I've seen yet was one floating in the middle of the sky. as I progress closer to the peak, the vegetation disappears and I feel naked out in the open like this. but luckily, I don't regret walking all that way as I step foot onto the top.

"whoa"

all around me there's beautiful white crystals, glowing independently together. I lick one of them on impulse.

"mmm. dirt"

my mouth bites down on some of it and I almost cry at the disgusting crunch that makes my teeth ache. this snaps me out of my rock lover time, and I look around some more. the usual metal rocks are everywhere, reflecting the bright sun back into my eyes.

I stayed up on the mountain looking for more items, but besides the pretty rocks everything was useless. "man that was pretty shit", I huff, tossing a rock off the steep side of the mountain, in reply a loud screech comes from where it hit.

"sorry!", I shout, the dinosaurs can't understand me, but that won't stop me from feeling bad from laughing after the creature sounded, the poor thing sounded like my friend arin getting period cramps, sometimes I think she's exaggerating, but I've never experienced that pain so who knows.

I shake my head and decide to be productive for the first time in my life. I pull a pickaxe out of literally no where and hit one of the crystals. it breaks cleanly and I'm feeling more satisfied with myself than I should.

"he's going to love this", I grin softly to myself, tucking the broken pieces of it into my inventory.

when I'm back home, the inside of the house is completely dark. I cautiously open the door, the screeching sound making me hold onto my breath. if there's some sort of intellectual dinosaur in there I'm done for. I hold my pickaxe close to me as I breath in and turn to look inside, ready to hit whatever is there.

then it hits me, literally hits me, a small turd the size of a toddler's foot. san laughs loudly as I collapse on the ground, rolling aggressively while rubbing at my face like it was on fire. san starts patting his leg to calm down so he can talk.

he points at me and starts giggling again, "wh-what the hell, wooyoung?"

I push myself back up and glare at him, "no what the hell, san! what the actual f*ck was that for?"

"hey, I'm sorry, you were standing there like a psychopath and I couldn't just let myself get attacked"

"it's self defense, woo"

my hands tremble as I try to calm down, "it's not funny, san. that's gross, who knows what was filtered into that. wait, no way, did y-"

"NO", san shouts with no hesitation, "I DID NOT TAKE A SHIT SO I COULD THROW IT AT YOU"

I raise my eyebrows and make a frog like smile, "I'm not convinced"

san rolls his eyes, "I'm sorry I can't take you seriously right now"

"why? I think I've been pretty clear on everything so far"

"no-", san pauses then starts his laughing craze again, "i-it's just t-that you have shit in your hair, it's just laying there, like a cocoon"

"WHAT THE F*CK"

the poop jumps out of my hair seemingly more shocked than I am at my outburst and plops right in front of me, an awkward silence washing over me right after.

san looks at me expectantly, and I walk over, bringing my finger to his lips, "shhhh, don't speak"

"I wasn-"

I push my finger onto his mouth aggressively, smushing his lips together, "I said don't speak"

I pick up the poop in embarrassment and toss it outside, watching in distaste as one of san's dilos eat it happily. I blink a little as it chews it before I close the door and head back inside.

"well that wa-"
"shush, we're not saying a word about this"
"alright", san pouts, a strange glint in his eyes.
"but I thought it was really funny when y-"

I glare at him and he finally gets the message and stops talking.

"anyway, I was going to give you something, but since you're being such an angel, I think I'll give it to you on a better occasion"

san looks at me in loss, eyes shinning curiously.

"no time is better than now"
I shake my head, "it could be better"
san sighs and lays back down on the bed with a satisfying whoosh.
"anytime is a good time with you"

note: the poop was from one of san's dilos, so no, he didn't take a crap just to pick it up and throw it at woo.
