CtC Day two (platonic Beetho)

Fandom: Hermitcraft

Romantic: Haven't really decided

Day two Prompt: Sledding outside.

Featuring: Beef and Etho!

"Beefers! Come on it's just snowed!" Etho tugged on his friend's hand, eager to go play in the piles of snow. 

 " But it's cold outside-" 'Beefers', as dubbed by Etho,  didn't really want to trudge out into the cold just yet.

 "You've grown way too soft- probably from living in the desert for so long. You're CANADIAN Beef! You hear me? C A N A D I A N !" Etho gave his hand one last tug, sporting puppy dog eyes and a pout to try and convince Beef. The dark haired male sighed and relented.

" Fiine. But we gotta go sledding too." 

"Deal!" Etho grabbed his coat and boots and rushed to get the sled and go outside. Beef smiled as he got his own winter clothing on and followed him. 

They burst out into the cold, crisp air, littered with snowflakes and chilled by the freezing wind. Their breathe puffed out in small white clouds, fogging up their vision with every exhale. Beef pointed towards a large hill that was perfect for sledding and they both climbed up it, Etho dragging up the sled. 

"Y'know I bet Pause would love to go sledding with us too. "

"Yeah, but maybe it's best he isn't here. If he was, he'd probably end up getting all our legs broken."

"Right! Like the Great Snowman Incident. Oh gosh that was a nightmare."

 " We don't talk of the Great Snowman Incident... " The two giggled childishly at the memories. Soon enough, the pair reached the top and Etho set down the sled. Beef insisted on being behind because 'if you fall, I need to be able to catch you!', which Etho found quite sweet. 

They got situated fairly quickly, with Etho in the front and Beef behind him. Beef wrapped his arms around the smaller male, determined to keep him as safe as possible. 

 "Ready?"

 "Ready as I'll ever be..." Beef tightened his grip on Etho slightly.

 "3, 2, 1!" 

 And they were off, zooming down the hill. Both boys were exhilarated, the wind whipping in their hair. They nearly hit a tree, but Etho just barely managed to swerve past it, nearly giving poor Beef a heart attack. Finally, the sled reached the bottom, which was quite icy. It was so icy, in fact, that the two couldn't exactly stop the sled.

"Please don't let this be a repeat of the Great Snowman Incident-" Etho yelped as they whizzed off the hill at record speed. Beef quickly grabbed Etho best he could and tumbled off the sled, landing on soft snow. The sled slid to a stop after crashing into another tree. 

 "Quick thinking Beefers!"

 "Yeah, I didn't want another Great Snowman Incident. One was traumatizing enough." Beef shuddered and they helped each other up. They shook snow off themselves, the icy substance sticking to their clothes and hair. 

"I can't tell where the snow ends and your hair begins!" Beef snickered as he ruffled Etho's hair, the other male half heartedly batting at his arm.

"Hey stop that!" 

After that, the two decided to go inside as one almost-disastrous event was enough for them. They snuggled with some hot cocoa and soft blankets , watching snow fall. 

"Thanks Beefers."

" You're welcome Etho."
