Hello! This might be one of the miniscule ships I have in Steve Legends. Colle x Beef. I still shipped Colle and Seer, even though I knew Seer's fate. But, I won't spoil it for those who don't know! Again unrequested, so I'm just winging it with the ships at this point.

Anyways, this takes place after Dread Steve was defeated, but before the whole first hero shenanigans.

I guess this is angst? Idk, I've never really written angst, so idk what really classifies as such.

Anyways, enjoy the oneshot!

Colle

They hate me. I know it. They may hide it, but I know they hate me. It's all my fault.

I walk through the Red Kingdom, now not required to hide. The King unbanished me when Seer and I helped him face his worst fear and overcome Dread Steve.

I try to avoid running into the other Elites or Goggles, but my attempts are futile when I hear someone call my name.

"Colle!" I turn around and see who's calling my name. Beef.

"Y-yes Beef?" I ask, trying to shield my emotions.

"You okay? You've been avoiding the rest of the Elites and Goggles... You've missed quite a few meetings, which you usually never do. And when you do run into one of us, you try to leave quickly. What is going on?" Beef asks me, concern leaking into his voice. It's probably fake. He doesn't care.

"Just, leave me alone. I have stuff I need to get done," I say and try to walk away, but I feel a hand grab my wrist.

"Please Colle. What's going on with you?" He asks me.

"Just, leave me alone! I don't want to talk about it!" I raise my voice.

"Talk about what?" He asks softly.

"Beef! Just leave me alone, okay?!" I raise my voice even louder, and passing Steves' heads turn in our direction.

Instead of leaving me alone, Beef all but drags me into the Academy Library. It's just us in here, not even Sharp. It's surprising, since Sharp spends a lot of time here either reading or writing about his journeys. He'd be a great Librarian one day if he wanted.

"Colle," Beef starts, snapping me out of my thoughts. "What has been going on with you? You're not acting normal."

"Dread Steve showed me some... things," I mumble.

"What did he show you?" Beef carefully asks me.

"The truth. That you and the rest of the Elites and Goggles hate me. That all the pain and suffering we've gone through is my fault. It's all my fault," I say and burst into tears.

Beef immediately hugs me and rubs comforting circles on my back. My tears run freely, nothing stopping them now. I lean my head on his shoulder right shoulder. The spot where my head is starts to become wet from my tears. He continues to rub soothing circles on my back. 

Beef

I continue to rub circles on Colle's back. He's taken too much in too little time. I'm honestly surprised he has lasted as long as he has without his body going into shock. I guess it's all catching up to him now. I wish I could've done more to protect Colle, but with how little he shares with us, it's hard to help anymore than what we've done or tried to do. Even Seer or Goggles say that Colle will dodge topics or not answer certain questions randomly.

Colle sniffles, and I turn my head slightly, trying to catch a glimpse of his face. He takes his head off of my shoulder, which now has a wet spot from him crying into it. I don't mind though.

"We don't hate you, Colle. None of us do. This isn't your fault. You're not a god. None of us are. We're all just trying to help and protect those who we care about," I say, trying to comfort him

He stares at my face. His eyes, which usually have a warm glow to them, are a dim red. His hair is a mess. It clicked into my mind what fully happened. He's broken. He reached his breaking point.

Sadness floods in with this realization. With Colle being the youngest Elite, I've always felt as though it was my job to keep him safe, my role as an Elite being Damage Control and whatnot. (I think that's what it was said his role was, correct me if I'm wrong)

I brush his messy, rose red bangs out of his face. Ever since we first left the kingdom to explore, his hair has grown long and messy. All of the Elites have experienced the same when it comes to their hair.

I zone out in thought. That is, untill I felt a pair of lips on mine. My eyes shoot open and my lips stay frozen. I don't kiss back. I try to process what just happened when Colle pulls away, embarrassed.

"S-sorry. I shouldn't have done that," Colle shyly gets out. His face is almost as red as his hair.

I must've lost my mind as I can't believe what I do next.

I lean in.

And we kiss.

Finally.

778 words! Honestly I planned for this to be longer, but I felt as though this was a good spot to end! Started this a few days ago, but I'm only now finishing it when I'm supposed to be asleep. Again.

Anyways, I'm gonna try to update this more frequently, along with Lost Memories, but with school and semester two starting soon and covid messing up our schedules, it is kinda hard.

I'm planning on possibly doing a Seer x Colle, Rainbow x FavreMySabre, and maybe Blue Leader x Indigo Leader. Idk, lol.

Please, if you have a request, please message me here on Wattpad or leave a comment on a chapter here, I'm running out of ideas.

I'ma sleep now.
