Cruel but Gentle - Herobrine X Steve

Chapter 18

Play the video when Herobrine starts to sing! ...I'm not sure if this'll work but I'm trying

Herobrine was certain now. What he felt towards the mortal - that was currently asleep next to him - was love. The god felt his face warm slightly at the thought. Why had he fallen for a weak human? Why had he fallen in love in the first place? Herobrine hadn't a clue. All he knew that Steve belonged to him alone, no one else. Steve was all his and he would kill whoever tried to stand in the way of that.

Said human began to shift in his sleep. While not stirring, Steve snuggled up against the god and an arm moved to hug Herobrine, who felt his heart begin to race. Herobrine tightened his grip around Steve and allowed his eyes to drop.

He was going to make sure that Steve would be his forever.

Steve sighed to himself once he realised he was lost. He had decided to walk around the castle after breakfast and lost track of where he was going. The human looked around before figuring that if he could find a room he recognised then he could find his way back.

He was about to open one of the doors when he heard music coming from the door that was next to it, a littles way down the hallway. Curiously, Steve walked up to put his ear up against that door.

"Mayday, mayday, the ship is slowly sinking." Sung a very familiar deep voice, muffled by the door. Wait...was that Herobrine? Steve could also hear a piano. "They think I'm crazy but they don't know the feeling."

Steve was amazed; he wasn't aware Herobrine could sing so well. Without making a sound, he opened the door, just enough for him to get inside, and squeezed through - thankful that the door didn't creak.

"They're all around me, circling like vultures." Herobrine continued. What Steve saw in front of him left him in awe. There Herobrine was, in all his glory, playing a black grand piano (with gold rimming the edges) expertly and singing along. "They wanna break me and wash away my colours. Wash away my colours!"

"Take me high and I'll sing, oh you make everything okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay okay!" Steve stayed quiet, wanting to hear more of the song and wanting not to disturb Herobrine. "We are one and the same, oh you take all of the pain away, away, away. Away, away, away!" The human took a step forward, keeping his noise nonexistent. "Save me if I become my demons!"

A short instrumental began and all the mortal did was stare in wonder as Herobrine's fingers danced gracefully across the keys.

"I cannot stop this sickness taking over. It takes control and drags me into nowhere." How was he this good? "I need your help, I can't fight this forever. I know you're watching, I can feel you out there." Steve held his breath. Did Herobrine know he was there or was that just part of the song?

"Take me high and I'll sing, oh you make everything okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay, okay. We are one and the same, oh you take all of the pain away, away, away. Away, away, away!" The human felt like he could listen to Herobrine sing forever. "Save me if I become my demons!"

"Take me over the walls below. Fly forever, don't let me go!" The god harmonised, in perfect tune. "I need a saviour to heal my pain when I become my worst enemy. The enemy!"

Another instrumental began, the tempo slower and more calm than the rest of the song. The minecraftian felt his heart beating along with the music. How much practice did Herobrine need to be this outstanding?

The immortal was lost amongst the music, not paying anything else any attention. It was just him and his emotions, set free only by this wonderful solitude. Where no one would see him. Where he could be alone.
