Concealed - Jesse X Reader: Minecraft Story Mode

Chapter 13

Ok, I finally got some inspiration for this chapter, hope you enjoy! This one is a doozy!

I gradually slithered around the corner. I had the snowball gnawed in my hand as I glanced around for my next unsuspecting victim. The entire area swiftly transformed itself into a battlefield. I suddenly saw my next target. Olivia. She persisted there in the open. Tentatively gazing around for any sign of trouble. I raised my arm to throw my deadly weapon at her. But before I could--

I was tumbling to the ground as a giant snowball hit my back. I whipped my head around. "Hey! That's cheating!", I called out. Jesse stood on top of the roof with a wide, amused grin. He leaned over to roll up more snowballs. "You can't on the roof!" Jesse disregarded with a carefree expression on his smug, little face. "You never said I couldn't", he sniggered. "That's exactly what I said when we were going over the rules!", I grumbled, hoisting myself up. As I did, another snowball pelted my face, provoking me to tumble backwards. "You are such an easy target", Petra snickered. I rotated my eyes and rolled up a snowball to launch at Petra.

Lamentably, I didn't get to because soon after, a landslide of snow was abruptly ejected at us. Jesse, Petra and I found ourselves implanted in a mountain of snow. "You guys work too hard", Olivia stuck her tongue at us as she leaned her body against a giant snowball dispenser. "Did none of you people listen to the rules?", I huffed in annoyance. "We don't obey rules. We break them", Jesse stated with an entertained grin. I raised my eyebrow. "Good advice coming from a Hero-In-Residence", I grinned in skepticism. I brushed the snow off myself and rubbed my hands together as I sought to neglect the cold, icy snow on my back. "In town, we're the Hero-In-Residence. When we're here, we're rule-breaking rebels", Petra corrected me. Lukas and Axel then popped their heads through the door. "You guys are going to get sick", Lukas crossed his arms. "Is no-one worried that it's snowing in a Plain Biome?", Axel claimed. We all occurred to gawk at him in incredulity. "Woah! Axel actual worried about something? I think the sickness got to him", I bellowed in hysteria. Axel surrendered me an exasperated simper. "Axel is right, though", Olivia regrettably stated. "As much fun as it has been kicking you guy's butts". I shot her cynical glare. "We do have a job to do".

"For the last time Axel, we are not getting attacked by a Disney Wizard seeking revenge on some hopeless Princesse!", Olivia murmured, irritated. "You don't know that", Axel disputed back. "For all we know, this dude could be some sort of remarkably ferocious, magical squid". Silence and doubting aspects pervaded the room. "I was just taking a wild a guess", Axel shrugged. I shook my head.

"Axel, you disappoint us all", Olivia breathed,  crossing her arms in impediment. " Oh, please", Axel rejected with a self-satisfied grin.  My extinct told me he was progressing to say something so staggeringly uncomfortable, it would take embarrassment to a WHOLE new level. I noticed I wasn't the only one who thought that. Even Olivia knew something was up. "You know you love me".

Olivia stiffed. Her face manifested zero emotion. Her appearance made her resemble like she wanted to dig a deep hole, crawl into it and die! Her face applied a soft pink before manifesting an aggressive scowl. Despite her face blazing with humiliation. "Shut up, Axel!", she spat out, waving her arms around to show she was flustered. "Now, you know how I feel", I muttered to myself. Regrettably, Olivia detected me and locked her head to face mine. I could actually comprehend flames sprouting in her pupils. "I-I mean, nevermind", I revealed a vulnerable smile.

"Ok, when you two are done having a casual, romantic conflict", Jesse endeavoured to change the subject. Olivia's face was still entirely red, as Axel stole an agile glance at her. "Let's focus on what's important."

"Why does it matter? It's not like who this person is", Lukas stated in a matter-of-fact way. Jesse nonchalantly glimpsed at me. He indicated for me to tell them. I rapidly shook my head. Jesse sauntered up to me with an austere expression. " (Y/N)...--". "I can't tell them", I choked out. Jesse frowned at me before his lips formed into a disastrous sneer. I know what he was going to do. It was moderately obvious. "Jesse, don't", I sent him a pointed look. "I'll do it if you don't", he stated.
