Dangerous attraction

Chapter Two

Wilbur disappeared quickly after. It seemed like your last meeting was held a century ago. You almost couldn't remember him until your friend Quiackity brought his name into the conversation. Stunned from this returning information for a moment you raised your eyes to meet his dark circles.

- You mean that half-dead thing?

He laughed his lungs out surprised by your sarcastic comment. You sounded so serious for him. Then, he put his arms on your shoulders. His giggle became catching, like a magnet, and you also started chuckling a bit. The whole room was shaken by your laughter.

- That's- Oh, dang it, that's a good one! Damn Y/N, so you've met him? - he sighed and became serious for no reason.

You raised your eyebrow. Truthfully, you briefly knew about the whole L'manberg nation having its history, but you never knew the details of how it went.

- What? You sound as if it's a bad thing.

- Wha-Why do you sound so offended? What the fuck? - he giggled smacking you in your arm playfully. You looked at him confused but you shrugged, ignoring it. - I mean, it's nothing bad, man, you had to meet him eventually and it, well, happened. Just, I wouldn't say it was the safest thing, friend.

You looked at him suspiciously. Is he hiding some shit from you?

- I don't care. Do your deep smelly overthinking elsewhere. I won't be dying for your cannon-like-event-thing. - offended, you cut the conversation short.

You started walking off of his place to go mining again, it was your new hobby to fight for diamonds. But you were stopped by his hand gripped on your forearm. It made you jump a little from surprise.

- That's why I'm warning you, man! Listen, listen. He's like a, a, very charming, hot, handsome, hot, shit, I mean hot- I mean, a menace. If he gets to you, you're very much likely to die a pathetic human death.

- What the fuck man?

Seriously, how many times did he call him hot?

- I don't want you to die, man! - he said hugging you and squeezing your guts out. You begged God for some air as you turned green.

- Yeah - You pushed him away and stopped to catch your breath. - But you used the word pathetic in it. And that's like, a very selfish thing coming from you, friend. I know you have wings and all, but I am human, man.

He shook his head in disagreement. Continuing to explain himself, he dug deeper into his hole and you saw it all through his movement. So he stopped, seeing how pathetic he looked in your eyes. Guess he wasn't that good at explaining himself.

- Y/N come on, don't be mad. You're like my best bud here! You can't be doing that to me.

You chuckled. That wasn't quite true.

- How about Slime? Or your fiancés? - As much as you loved seeing his stupid face, you hated when it darkened. There was only one thing worse than his sad face. His pathetic sobbing. - Shit, I'm sorry man... I didn't mean to.

He shook his head again and forced a smile on his face. Oh, how much you hated yourself for that snarky response. He was your friend! Quickly, you invited him into your open arms and closed his eyes. His crying was very quiet, he didn't want you to hear that. And so you pretended you couldn't hear anything.

- Hey, man, wha-why? Come on, nothing happened. I'm fine, man! - he tried to hide the truth.

You could feel how uncomfortable he became as his muscles started tightening around the chest. His arms told you exactly how much you hurt him. So you did not let go, for now. Continuing to embrace him, you felt embarrassed.

- I'm sorry.

- Man, stop! You didn't do anything! Everything's cool, man.

- I won't say that again. - you promised firmly.

As he got off of you, you glanced at his face, now free of tears. He chuckled softly, cherishing this moment.

- Good luck with your findings, Y/N! - He gave you a thumbs up, talking about your losing battle against diamonds.

A big banana slid onto your face before you truly laughed. You thanked him with your fists and left to mine again for about two or five days straight. You never had your clock with you and no one had anything to say to that as they knew you always do things like that this way.

So it was quite a surprise when you were on your way back and you met two familiar faces before you. Concerned for your well-being, as you saw it in their eyes. You raised your eyebrows again, startled a bit. It was your friend Slime with the accompany of a boy named Purpled.

- Everything's alright, boys? - you asked when they took a big breath, as if you lifted something very heavy in their hearts.

- Aw man, I thought I was sinking in my slime for a moment! Ugh! I almost saw the light in the tunnel. - Slimecicle exagurated.

- Same- same here... I'm so happy we've found you. I'd be dead if not though.

You looked at them confused. Like what the fuck man? It never happened before. What must be their problem?

- What? What's wrong? Did Quackity die of his mirror reflection or something? - They looked at you concerned with a soft "no?". You just giggled. - It was a joke.

They looked at themselves, now understanding your concept. Even if they went along with the joke now, you just tossed your hand unbothered.

- Nevermind. Tell me, what's wrong? I'm waiting like a decade here now.

- Yeah, yeah, sure, Y/N. So, listen. I know it would be a little too much for you. So we were thinking of making our interpretation of this. Right, Purpled? Right?

You glanced over at the lost boy who was now nodding very fast.

- Okay - you said unconvinced.

They showed you a very hilarious performance of their own. In the beginning, you asked a lot of questions but after some time you began to understand. Your laughter changed into a more nervous one. When they were done, panting on the ground, giving themselves a high five, you gave them the applause they deserved. Ironically though, only as an irony. The show was great in comparison to the message.

- Guys, you mean that this Wilbur guy threatened you with my death? Why would that work by the way? Obviously, Quackity didn't fall for this trick, right? - you laughed.

- He did. - they said.

- Seriously? He's that much of a baby now?

- But that's only because you were gone for weeks, dude.

You looked at the boy confused.

- What the fuck...? Obviously not.

- Yeah, Y/N! We were worried! It's much more than you've ever been gone! Even though Quackity told me it was a bluff, I wouldn't know if you could be dead already. And not by Wilbur's hands of course. What if you feel like my friend villager one day?

- Like who? - you both said not catching on to the Slime's story anymore.

- Let's just go back, guys... I think my friend is starting to believe a fish fucker more than our bond - you sighed suddenly feeling tired.

By then the three of you left off on another boring adventure to get back on the same track they got to you. Although it wasn't boring, they were always a mood changer.
