Chapter Text
The moment Scott saw the red corruption spill out of his nether portal, and the laugh that only one person had echoed around him, he knew what was happening. His sibling was back from whatever dumb trip they were on, and wanted to have “fun”. Them and their stupid “corruption” that was really just them uprooting dirt and paths and using nether blocks.
At first, he ignored Xornoth. They weren't bothering him, and it was fine. Everything was fine.
And then the fucker had to show up, way too gleeful for Scott’s sanity and proudly proclaimed: “I’m flirting with your husband!”
Which. First of all:
Jimmy was his ex husband, even if they never officially got divorced after Third Life
Second:
“YOU’RE WHAT?”
“Flirting with your husband, Scott, didn’t you hear me? He hasn’t even removed my corruption isn’t that awesome?” Xornoth had a huge smirk on their face, holding a cod in their hand as they fake swooned. “Oh Jimmy, our marriage shall be wonderful.”
While Xornoth was doing this, he wasn’t paying much attention to Scott, who had pulled out an axe with a glare on his face. “Xor-Xor~”
Scott had recently learned that was a nickname Fwhip had given Xornoth, and had been waiting for the best moment to use it against his sibling. “I would run if I were you, buddy.”
Xornoth just cackled, having absolutely no self preservation. They regretted it when Scott started swinging his axe at them, with promises to slice them into a bunch of tiny pieces, and also to flirt with Joey and Sausage.
“HEY! THOSE TWO ARE MINE! THEY LIKE MY CORRUPTION! JOEY EVEN WANTS TO DATE ME!”
“YEAH SURE! YOU’RE THE FOOL WHO THINKS YOUR DUMB CORRUPTION IS A VALID METHOD OF FLIRTING!”
“AND IT IS!” Xornoth ducked an Axe swing, jumping onto the roofs of several villagers houses, Scott following with a flap of his wings.
“I’M SUREEEE.”
The two chased each other around Rivendell for quite some time, shouting insults at one another and threatening to flirt with the other's spouse or future boyfriend. Doing this for most of the afternoon was exhausting, and by the time the two landed back at Scott’s house, they were panting heavily.
“I’m still… gonna… fuck your future boyfriend Xor.” Scott sent Xornoth a smirk, placing his axe back in his inventory with a victorious grin.
“You will NOT, Scotty.”
“Well who's the one that started it?”
“You did!”
“I did not! You did because you said you flirted with my husband!”
Xornoth crosses their arms petulantly, frowning at their brother. “It’s not like you were.”
“I was, actually, you’re just never paying attention.”
“Uhuh, sureeeee.” They drag out their ‘Sure’ because as far as they’re aware, Scott hasn’t even killed Jimmy once.
“Don’t you “sure” me, Xornoth! I’ll have you know I’ve killed him twice already, he’s just terrible at picking up hints.”
“Mhmmm..” Xornoth laughed, fading out of Scott’s view, probably to go bother another empire. “Listen, you keep telling yourself that, but I’m gonna go~~ If you don’t try harder, I’ll take your husband for myself.”
