My Diggy Diggy One Shots

The Man Shipped With All (2)

We return early the next morning to Hole Diggers and find Honeydew and Sips curled up in the shedroom together.

I decide to take a few days off of everything. I walk to Sjin’s farm, hanging out on the coast of the river that surrounds Sjin’s farm.

When I return I see that Sjin had built a Chilli Wowas on both Craggy Island and Lovely Island. (I know he only has the one, but the one on Lovely island looks almost exactly like the one on the farm, and it fits for the story.)

“Hey Xephos!” Honeydew says as I arrive back at Hole Diggers.

I hope the smile on my face isn’t too obviously forced, as I don’t want Sips to see how much him being here, hand resting on Honeydew’s shoulder casually.

Sjin, who was watering the crops, comes running over when he hears my name. He throws an arm around my shoulders and leads me away.

“Hey, Xephos. You won’t believe what I did over on Lovely island!” I lift a hand in Honeydew’s direction, thankful for Sjin.

“Uh, okay. Xephos, can we talk when you get back?” I hear Honeydew say, and flinch. Sjin squeezes my shoulder.

“Sure,” I call out. “Thank you, Sjin.” I whisper under my breath.

“I’m sorry, Xephos.” I shrug. He drops his arm.

“So we have another Chilli Wowas?” I ask, hoping he will take the hint.

“Yeah!” He does. “Oh Xephos, its amazing! It is red. . .”

'~.~'

After we get back from seeing almost an exact replica of the Chilli Wowas on the farm, Honeydew calls me over.

I follow him up into Dwarf Star Alpha and wait for him to say something. “Um, Xephos?”

“Yeah?” I say quietly.

“I assume you know by now about Duncan and Sjin,” I nod, a faint smile finding my lips. “As you know, Sips came to visit.” Tears start to pool in my eyes and I quickly blink them away, hoping Honeydew doesn’t notice. “And you sent us over to Lovely island to perform the ritual to get the cursed earth.” I nod. “Well, while we were over there. . .”

Suddenly I am moving toward Honeydew, and I press my lips against his. I pull back after a second. “I’m sorry,” I say.

I leave Dwarf Star Alpha and go to find Sips. Which is pretty hard since tears are making my vision all blurry. I land and find him heading into the left shoe.

“S- Sips?” I ask, and he turns around. “I- I need to talk to you about my job at Dirt Quest.”

“Xeph-?”

“No, Sips. Let me talk.” Tears start to fall. “I- I think I might need to take a few months off. If that is a problem then I quit.” And with that I walk away, leaving Sips sputtering behind me.

“Xeph- Wait!” I turn my jetpack on and fly away, heading for Sjin’s farm.

As I fly over the golf course, I see Duncan and Sjin locked in a tight embrace. I hover over them for a second, tears running down my face. I turn and fly away, pretending I don’t hear Honeydew calling out to me.

'~.~'

I land at the farm and head straight up to our room. I collapse on the bed and sob. I cry until all my tears are dried up, and I am just laying there shaking. I hear someone enter the room and look up.

“Go away!” I yell at Honeydew.

“Xeph-” He starts edging towards me and I throw a pillow at him.

“No Honeydew! No! I don’t want you anywhere near me for the next forever!” I stand up and get really close to him.

“Do you know what you put me through?” I whisper, voice devoted of any emotion. “I heard you and Sips. I knew. If you ever want me to work beside you again, you will leave now and never speak of this or Dwarf Star Alpha to anyone. Got it?” And with that I watch Honeydew leave.

That was the last time I saw Honeydew.

Nobody knows where he went. Not even Sips. We spent weeks looking for him, but eventually everyone else gave up.

But I didn’t.

Because that is how much I love you, Honeydew. And this is why I’m going to do what I’m about to do.

I know how to find you Honeydew, and there is nowhere to hide in hell.

*So I don't kow the ending of this, you can take it any way you want.*
