Hermitcraft Stories & Stuff [Discontinued]

Return

Ship(s): Zedaph x Tango, Referenced/implied ZIT, referenced Ranchers, referenced Flower Husbands
TW: Some mentions of death but nothing too much
Headcanon in this chapter: since tango is uncomfy with horns, I hc him as a netherborn (has wings and a tail but no horns), Zed is a ram hybrid, and Jimmy is a canary hybrid (that's only mentioned but still), also ZIT is poly ofc, and they're ok with other people if they all discuss and agree, that's why Zedaph asks Tango about Jimmy.
(Also yes, the title of this chapter is a double meaning of both Tango and myself returning xD)
Thanks to WelshKitsune and jxst_julia1407 for the idea of writing ZIT <3
Enjoy!

Tango stretched as he logged onto Hermitcraft, his communicator immediately vibrating against his hip as the other online hermits welcomed him back, some asking how it went since he was the first one back from Double Life.

He felt his comm ping, notifying him that someone had whispered him. Grabbing the device and looking at it, the netherborn saw that Zedaph had messaged him wanting to meet. Typing a reply to meet at his Deep Frost Citadel, he put the comm away and spread his wings, taking to the air towards his base.

Landing at the entrance to his base, Tango saw that his boyfriend had not arrived yet, so he decided to sit outside the massive base to wait for him. Around ten minutes later, the ram hybrid landed in front of him, stumbling as he ran to wrap his arms around Tango, bombarding him with questions about Double Life.

"Zed... Zed. Zed!" Tango tried to stop the wheat blond's flurry of questions, deciding the best way to shut him up. Leaning up, Tango pressed his lips to the taller's, internally smiling at the startled noise from the younger, before he kissed him back.

After a few minutes, they pulled way from each other, a big grin on Zedaph's face and Tango knew there was a similar look on his own face, "What was that for? I mean, not that I'm complaining or anything." The ram chuckled.

"Just had to shut you up, baby. Sometimes you talk too much." Tango said, kissing Zed's cheek, "now how about we go into the Citadel, it's starting to get dark." At the violet-eyed male's nid, they went in, quickly going to the bed and settling in, cuddling each other.

The netherborn let his partner question him eagerly about the soul link and how the life game worked, answering each question the best he could, although he hadn't asked about Tango's soulbound yet, which he found suspicious but didn't comment on.

"Sooo, Jimmy, huh?" Zed smirked, 'There it is,' Tango thought. "What do you think of the canary?"

Tango groaned, playfully giving Zedaph a gentle shove, "honestly, he's amazing, he's caring funny, and... Insanely clumsy. Even though I got us killed the first time, he didn't hold that against me. He's... Perfect." He said, tail gently swaying and a soft smile on his face.

Zed took the winged male's hands in his own, no hint of jealousy in his eyes, "Tango, do you want to...?" He trailed off, watching as his boyfriend's eyes widened and smaller hands slipped out of his own.

"Wh-what? No! I don't think I could... Plus he's got this whole thing with Scott going on. And I'm happy with you and Impy anyway!" He said, and he really meant it, even if he did feel something for Jimmy- which he did not want to confront those feelings right now- he really was happy with his two amazing boyfriends and he didn't need anyone else.

Lacing their fingers together, Tango gave the ram hybrid a quick kiss before resting his head on Zed's shoulders, being mindful of the ram's horns, "we can talk about it later, right now I just want to cuddle with my perfect boyfriend while waiting for my other perfect boyfriend to bring home the gold."

Zedaph gave a quiet laugh, kissing the crown of Tango's head and wrapping an arm around his shoulders, "okay, let's sleep and wait for Impulse. I have no doubt that he'll win."
