~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xisuma clumsily flew back to his base, trying to find something- anything - to distract him. The hermits had all gotten together to hang out, normally while he would love that and be really active but lately he'd been reminiscing and thinking about how nearly all his friends had left or would leave after some time. Some of the others must have noticed because they were continuously asking him what was wrong.

When he thought no one was paying attention he left and took off, flying to his base to get away before he embarrassed himself in front of everyone. He'd been here the longest and seen the most hermits leave. X planned to be on hermitcraft, and for the others, to be on Hermitcraft for as long as they could but he also knew they would inevitably leave.

He hadn't even realized, deep in his thoughts, that he was on the brink of a panic attack until he felt something running down his cheeks. He brought a gloved hand up to his cheek under his helmet and pulled it away looking at it and seeing a familiar clear liquid on it.

X tried to steady his hyperventilating but failed, falling to his knees as tears streamed down his face. Xisuma clawed and scratched at his arms, his limbs beginning to feel numb. His throat closed up and his chest felt as if it was on fire, but then he felt a gentle hand rest on his back.

His eyes widened and he whipped his head around to see Doc who had taken his hand off of the smaller male's back. X could see that Doc was saying something but he couldn't tell what he was saying over the roaring in his ears.

The creeper-hybrid put his hand on X's shoulder tentatively and waited to see if the admin would jerk away. When X didn't, he slowly knelt down to the admin. It was almost as if Xisuma read his mind because before he could even do anything else, the shorter male ripped off his helmet, tossing it to the side somewhere, and threw himself into Doc's arms.

They sat there for who knows how long with the admin sobbing into Doc's chest, drenching his lab coat, although Doc could care less. Doc ran his fingers through Xisuma's hair, occasionally kissing his forehead and whispering sweet nothings to him.

When Xisuma finally calmed down enough to talk, the creeper questioned him, "Xisuma, what's wrong? You just flew away with no warning, did you think no one notice? You know you can talk to me, man."

X tried to tell Doc what was wrong but couldn't form a coherent sentence, his breathing picking up again. Doc noticed this and quickly shushed him, "Take your time X, you don't even have to talk about it if you don't-" He stopped himself as he saw Xisuma frenetically shaking his head.

X stayed quiet for a few minutes, finally getting his bearings. He took a shaky breath, which seemed futile since as soon as he began talking, his walls came crumbling down.

"I don't know, Doc! It's just- everyone I care about leaves me!" Doc opened his mouth to protest but Xisuma cut him off before he could, "No! Don't try to say anything! All of you are going to leave me eventually! You are, Biffa is... You are all going to and there's nothing I can do." He said, his voice cracking while he spoke.

Doc cradled the smaller in his arms, "X, no matter what, I'll never leave you. And even if I do leave Hermitcraft, which won't happen for a long time, I'll still always be with you." He used his thumb and his index finger to lift X's head, staring into the admin's eyes. He leaned his head in and slowly kisses the other, making sure to leave it so Xisuma could pull back if he needed to.

Doc was pleasantly surprised when he felt Xisuma kissing back lightly, his hands gripping the creeper's lab coat.

Doc brought a hand up and tangles his clawed fingers in the half-brown half-blond locks of hair. He pulled back and pressed his forehead against the admin's flushed face. After they both caught their breath, Doc moved back slightly and pulled X onto his lap.

"Xisuma... I've been in love with you for a long time, that's kind of why I came to check on you, why I helped you and comforted you. I wasn't lying when I said I would never leave you. So... Will you be my boyfriend, Xisuma?"

Xisuma stared dumbfounded at the hybrid, opening his mouth and then closing it, trying to find the right words. "Doc, I would love to be your boyfriend." X quickly pecked the Doc's lips and the creeper kissed back before standing up, holding his hand out for the other. Xisuma quickly took it and let himself be pulled up by the taller.

Doc picked up the discarded helmet, putting it on X's head and grinning at him. He grabbed X's hand and pulled him out of the base, both of them opening their elytra and flying off, with Doc declaring that he needed to take X on a proper date immediately.

879 words! I kinda went a bit overboard with some of this but I like it! I spent all class working on it and after a test, my teacher walked up while I was writing it and asked if it was a journal or a short story, when I said it was a story he just said 'cool.' it was so awkward... But anyway, that's enough for now, look out for art reeeaaal soon
Thanks again dudes, Bama out!
