Hermitcraft oneshots and other random stuff

Useless (platonic Biffsuma)

Fandom: Hermitcraft

Romantic: Up for interpretation, but leans more towards platonic.

A request from @Newfoundland_Aiden Thanks for the request! And sorry for procrastinating for so long. Just Biffa comforting Xisuma after a rough day. Soft fluffy vibes :D

There was a loud clacking of keys as Xisuma furiously typed on his keyboard. He was trying to make a new update to the server that the hermits had requested, but to no avail. He glanced at the clock and sighed, grumbling at the steady tik tok of the clock. All it did was remind him that he only had a few hours to finish the project in time for the hermits to be able to enjoy it. His communicator glistened in the light, beckoning him to use it and he sighed, picking it up and clicking on a certain red-eyed hermit's icon.

 "Hello? Xisuma?" A familiar slightly raspy voice broke the thick silence in Xisuma's base.

 "Hi Tango! I was just wondering if you could help me with this piece of code I'm struggling with."

 "Yeah, of course! Send it right over."

 Xisuma sent the piece of code he was struggling with over to Tango, who let out a small hmm. 

"Oh X, I see the problem! I'll do a quick edit and show you what I did."

There were a few clicks heard as Tango fixed up the code and sent it back to Xisuma. When he looked over it, he was gasping at how simple the solution was. 

"Your code was a bit too complicated, so I just deleted a large chunk and replaced it with only two lines, and it should be working now."

Xisuma ran the code and sure enough, it was flawless. He let out a quiet sigh, though Tango couldn't hear it. 

"Thank you so much Tango, I owe you some pancakes."

"Anytime X! And let me know when those pancakes are ready. " Tango joked and both males snickered. 

"Alright then, but Tango!" Xisuma ended the call and sighed again, taking off his helmet. He ran his fingers through his hair, lightly tugging at the strands. Sure, he was very thankful for Tango and he was happy that he figured out the fix so easily but, he just did it so effortlessly. Tango could make a complex redstone minigame, code easily, and make amazing builds, but Xisuma was just Xisuma. He could code, which was something a ton of people could do. Nothing special at all. He was absolutely useless. How was he allowed in Hermitcraft, a land filled with people who had more talent in their pinkies than Xisuma would ever have. Scar could terraform, Grian made gorgeous builds, Impulse made incredible farms, and Zedaph could make someone laugh in the span of one minute. Everyone had something going for them, everyone. 

Everyone except him, that is. Xisuma was pretty darn close to tears, which was stupid when thinking about what he was crying about.

 "X, I brought teaaa!"

Xisuma gasped quietly, swiftly swiping at his unshed tears and throwing his helmet on. The door burst wide open to reveal an excited Biffa poking his head out from behind a plate of tea and biscuits.

"B-biffa, what are you doing here?" Xisuma cursed his raspy, tired sounding voice.

"Don't you remember? Today is a meeting for the Tea Eaters Association!" Biffa pointedly gestured towards his calendar.

Xisuma face-palmed, frustrated. "I'm so sorry Biffa, I totally forgot, I've just been incredibly busy-"

"Ah, it's alright. Now that I'm here you better 'spill the tea'" Biffa snickered at his own joke.

"What tea? There's no tea to be spilt, Biffa."

" Well sure there is, there's tea right here," the pink -armored male gave Xisuma a cup of tea before sitting down. "And there's certainly tea about why you've been crying, it's quite obvious." 

There was a light grumble as Xisuma touched his visor. "That obvious?!"

"Yep! Now what's it about?"

"It's nothing Biffa, just something really stupid," Xisuma began before grumbling something. 

" Hey," Biffa's gaze softened as he put his hand on Xisuma's shoulder. "Is it about what we've been talking about?"

"N-no Biffa it isn't-"

"BS, it clearly is. X, you need to stop doubting yourself. You are amazing and talented and there's no need to compare yourself to others."

"But there are so many people who are talented and can do so much! I'm absolutely useless compared to people like Tango who can make such good games and code and do redstone-" Xisuma could've gone on and on if he weren't interrupted by Biffa.

"Tango isn't you. He hasn't done everything you've done. You have coded entire servers and built mega farms and made whole cities and you still help every hermit you can find. Tango and all the rest are great people but they aren't you. They aren't the main admin of the hermitcraft server, they aren't the best multitasker in the world, and they aren't the co-leader of the Tea Eaters Association."

Xisuma simply leaned into Biffa's shoulder and whispered a small thank you. Biffa pulled him in for a proper hug, careful of the tea, and they both sat there for a while enjoying the comforting warmth.

You aren't useless.
