Adrenaline coursed through the 5-year-old's veins, his feet slapped the netherrack floor as Piglins with sharp axes ran after him while the others with crossbows tried shooting at him from a distance.

A while ago before the chase began, the 5-year-old was exploring around the Bastion Remnant when he accidentally hit a baby piglin, which angered the piglins around the kid.

Sapnap winced in pain as blood flows out of the 5-year-old's arm like running water. How could he think that it would be a smart idea to hide in a tree which resulted in him getting an injury in his left arm?

As the child ran, he ripped a part of his grey dirt-covered shirt, using the material as a bandage for his bleeding arm.

Fumbling with the material, Sapnap managed to messily wrap it around his arm tightly to prevent more blood from flowing out.

"That will do... " the kid muttered, sweat dripping down his forehead.

He looked behind him and saw a hoard of the yellow metallic addicts coming after him.

One of the arrows shot was close to hitting his head by a few inches which caused him to panic and run faster.

His calves started to ache and his mind begged him to stop running, but he couldn't. One wrong move and he'll be dead. He thought about trying to outrun the piglins, but he knew they would find him soon enough.

His train of thought was interrupted when he tripped over a small rock. His small body collided to the ground, scrapped over the sharp rocks.

Sapnap winced, gripping onto his bloodied arm.

The piglins surround the kid.

The metallic weapon scrapped across the hard ground was heard in Sapnap's ears.

He looked at where the sound comes from and saw a piglin with an axe.

Before he could react, the piglin swung its' axe to the boy's chest.

"Sap! Sapnap! " the red hooded male shook the child awake.

The 10-year-old snapped his eyes open and sat up, a few tears fell down his cheeks. "B-Bad? " his voice cracked.

Bad's heart shattered when he heard his son's voice, "I'm right here, Sapnap. I'm right here. " he wrapped his arms around the shaking child.

Sapnap flinched and hugged him back, burying his face into his adopted father's shirt and gripping onto it as more tears flowed out of his eyes.

A few minutes passed, the young boy's breathing had steadied and fewer tears were coming out of his eyes. Sapnap pulled away from Bad and sniffled. "S-sorry... "

"Aw... You don't have to be sorry, muffin. What's wrong? " Bad sat at the end of the bed.

"Just a n-nightmare... "

"Wanna talk about it? "

Sapnap slightly nodded, "w-well, it's just that I was running away from the piglins and y-you aren't there to save me and I just... " he stopped, eyes filled with tears.

Bad wiped off a tear at had fallen down his cheek with his thumb and smiled, "It's okay muffinhead. I won't go anywhere, I promise. "

Bad then ruffled the young boy's hair, "now let's go to bed, we have a long day tomorrow. "

The red hooded male stood up, he was about to walk towards the door when he felt a tug on his hood.

The 25-year-old male looked back to see Sapnap.

"C-can you stay, please? I'm s-scared... " Sapnap muttered.

The sentence surprised the male. Sapnap isn't the one who would admit his fears to anyone, not even him.

He smiled, walking back to him as Sapnap pulled the blanket for Bad to hop in. Sapnap's bed is relatively large enough for two adults to sleep in without fighting for space.

"Can you also sing me a song please? " he spoke in a soft voice, not wanting to bother Bad more than he already did.

The male chuckled, "of course, what song would you like me to sing? "

"Um... T-the usual... "

Bad smiled. He pats Sapnap's back lightly and started singing.

"My sweetheart's piano is rat filled "

"And mine is infested with bugs "

"The music we make is unnatural "

"But it sounds just like falling in love "

"This butch, This butch, This butch, This butch "

"She makes me feel weak in the knees "

"But I can't let her make me swoon "

"Or else she may think I am weak "

"Tomorrow I'll dig through the garbage "

"And I'll fish out all kinds of new trash "

"And when we go back to my apartment "

"She'll probably kick- "

Bad heard soft snoring from Sapnap and he smiled.

He brought the blanket closer to Sapnap's shoulder, "I won't let anyone hurt you, you little muffin. "
