Work Text:
Collin opened his chest and moved some of his things around to organize them, he wasn't much of a organizer, let alone didn't really care where things are, but it did help know where things where when needed. Especially when other worldly entities were around in your world.
The world around him was quiet, a part from the raining cats and dogs outside. It wasn't too bad, but Collin did miss the minecraft sun sometimes, being able to look at the moon during night when out exploring. Why did this have to happen? Why to him? Why did HE have to be the one cursed with all these entity?
Tired. That's all he felt every time he loaded into this world. Sure he could make a new one but how would he know if they, those entities, would follow him into those worlds? Achally he did know, he tried, right when it first happened, right when he realised it was forever raining. He left the world to start a new one to see if it will kept happening and would you know it, it did. So he knew now he was bassicly forever stuck with these guys. How lovely.
He closed the chest and sighed to himself, hearing the rain pour and hit the glass of his small cabin-like house he built. The place wasn't exactly home but it was where he lived, he could try and make it more home-like, maybe go out to try and find some decorations for it, maybe revamp it to look better, but there was this one world entity he had... hungry. God were they annoying as hell. Always hungry, always feasting on something, wanting more and more. He wouldn't be surprised if this entity was the sin of greed at this point. He tried to feed it with meat once but... to his surprise he was still hungry! Well at least it got them to chill for a bit.
So he wasn't sure if that thing could be out there wanting to kill and eat him. No chance of staying outside for too long, and if he did he had to be very careful and on look out. Yeah this house wasn't getting an upgrade anytime soon. Best he can do is build a second floor downstairs, aka in the basement basically. Achally now thinking of it, he should expand downstairs a bit more, it is a little cramped at the moment huh? Eh he'll do that later.
There were sudden footsteps along the grass outside followed by his wooden door opening. He turned around and saw none other then... ZAC!? The blue creeper in the light gray hoodie stood in front of him covered in wet fur and clothes, man it's been a bit since he saw that guy. He was sure that entity, grind was it? Got to him and took over his world or something! How was he here?
"Zac!? Didn't think I would see you again" Collin spoke up, shocked and amazed. Glad he was able to see him again if being honest! Honesty thought he looked a little cute. He shook off that thought, maybe best not to think that right now.
"Heh yeah. That guy pretty much corrupted my world... and I almost lost my only computer too... BUT I thankfully got it all sorted out! But that original world did get corrupted so I'm not able to play on that world anymore..."
It was a shame to hear that honestly. Losing all your hard work and progress you made... sure it's nice to start over sometimes but it does hurt when all that work to put in goes to waste and down the drain. And all for what?
"Damn... so wait... how are you here? Did you—"
"Yep, found another one of those iron doors in my world. I was debating either to cover it up and not touch it or if I should go back through to see if I can see you again. And, well, I think you can guess what I chose huh?"
Collin smiled a little, as much as he wanted to hate it, he can't help but be glad Zac chose to see him again. The world got lonely at times even though he knew it was single player, well, "single player". It was nice having some company over... not counting those tiring entities he has to deal with every day! His smile soon dropped when he realized he was smiling, clearing his throat as he soon responded.
"Well I'm glad that I get to see you again Zac! You should... probably take off those wet clothe there. If you want you can borrow some clothes I have!"
Zac laughs a little but for some reason glances away blushing, being all shy. "Heh thanks Collin! Uhh... got a good place for me to uhh... change?" Collin tilted his head and walks over to get some of his spare clothes from a chest. "Uhh, you can change in the erm— down in the basement there if you like. But I mean your fine changing in front of me were both boys after all! But if you want privacy then that's fine."
The boy in the all yellow walked over to blue creeper and gave him the clothes. Zac just looked at them as he took them, almost like he was debating everything. Again Collin was getting curious on what was up with Zac, clearly something was up that he wasn't telling him. "Agsin dude... you're ok having privacy, you can—"
"Collin..." Zac finally spoke, cutting him off. "I... I want to show you something, please promise me you won't judge me...?"
Collin stares at him for a bit, before scoffing at him. "I have better things to judge in and out of game, whatever you need to show me I promise I won't judge you." Collin gave the nervous creeper a resulting smile which seemed to calm him a bit. What did Zac even want to show Collin that makes him so nervous? He's already a talking blue creeper, and Collin has to deal with weird entity in his world, and out of his world, so what could—
His train of thought was cut short once Zac took off his hoodie, the boy in the raincoat looked at the now shirtless creeper and now saw what Zac was so nervous to show…
Scars across where his chest was on either side…
Top surgery scars…
“Your trans? I… that's what you were so nervous of showing me?”
“Yeah…” Zac replyed, turning his body slightly away but Collin just turn him back to face him, getting a better look at the scars. “I don't know why you where so nervous to show me, their just scars Zac.”
“Yeah, top surgery scars…” the creeper mutters.
Collin just turns his glance to Zac's face, one of his hands coming up and cupping Zac's face. Fuck he was a soft, soft and fluffy. He had to ask if they could cuddle later… wait no not cuddle. Maybe cuddle. No, yes, no… maybe… Why was he cupping his face again? Oh right.
“Oh so their top surgery scars big whoop! You're still a guy, just with scars on your chest now. You were always a boy and still are. Inside and out. And you shouldn't be ashamed of your scars… their beautiful… beautiful just like you are…” he whispers the last bit, his face starting to feel warm, especially his cheeks.
The blue creeper blushed slightly, looking away out of embarrassment. Feeling his chest feel warm and fuzzy, didn't Collin really call him beautiful!? Him!? “Im beautiful huh?” he finally spoke, catching Collin fully off guard and him realising what he said and that Zac had heard him. His face went full red as he struggled to try and find a Becuase or an explanation on why he said that. “Well I- its not like that I- its- I mean I'm- for what's its worth I- its- um— fuck”
Zac laughs, leaning into collins hand that was still on his cheek. “Jokes aside… thanks Collin… for… supporting me…” Collin clears his throat, calming himself down so he could speak “no problem man. I will always support you. In anyways shape or form.”
They stand there, smiling at one another as the rain poured outside and hit the window. Trees blowing in the background as it felt like it was just them in the moment…
Then Collin spoke up once more.
“Now go change into some dry clothes! Your still wearing your shocking wet pants!”
“Oh right! I'll be back!”
Collin let go of zacs face to let him go downstairs to change into some warm dry clothes. Achally don't think they were warm, especially in a world like this but they were dry for Zac to wear at least. Now all Collin had to do was wait, he sat ontop of his chest and waited for Zac to finish getting dressed. It shouldn't take him that long to get dressed, though with his fur it might, but who really knows?
After some good time of waiting Zac finally came up the latter and out of the basement Collin called “his room”. He got off the chest and walked over to see… Zac still shirtless? “You… your not going to put a shirt on? Or hoodie?”
“Nah, after what you said I'm feeling more confident with me not having one on and honestly..? It feels quiet nice…”
Collin smiles, happy to hear that Zac, his trans friend, a real man, was fully comfortable in his own skin. “Happy to hear that man… but you should probably put something on cause it does get cold out sometimes and it's always raining here so… don't wanna get sick Yknow?”
They both chuckle and Zac slips on the hoodie Collin gave him to wear, it was a baggy yellow one, definitely something Collin would wear maybe daily if it wasn't always raining. “You have a point there I'll give you that. Now… what do you wanna do since I'm here now? You can ramble about your enetiys you have so I know what to do if they come or we can just… hang. Up to you!”
Collin thought for some time on what they could do to pass the time. He looked back at Zac, his eyes zoning out on zacs soft blue fur. “We could cuddle” he muttered, hoping Zac didn't hear, but of course he did, he was right informant of him. “Cuddle? You want to cuddle? Is that what you said?” the boy in the rain coat looked away his face burning up at the blue creepers' words. A paw landed on his shoulder making him look back at Zac who was now next to him. “We can cuddle if you want. I mean, for what it's worth I feel like we both need a break from the craziness don't you think?”
Collin just looked into his eyes and sighs. “Yeah, your right. We do… I do…”
The creeper nods and they both head down the latter to cuddle in the single bed. It only had room for one but they some how made it work… by having Collin lay on Zac. Collin (of course) did not mind, in fact loved it. Having his face cuddled into zacs cuddley fur in his neck as he had his arms around him and around one another. Collin, for once, took off his raincoat and hat as he didn't need to have it on for this or at the moment. He was so warm and fluffy, soft like clouds, and fluffy like the fluffiest of dogs. For the fist time Collin wasn't in hell… he was in heaven.
As the two lay there, Collin eventually fell asleep in zacs arms, making Zac give a small laugh at the sight, thinking Collin looked adorable in the moment. But then his gaze turn to the trap door above where small light shine through. What if grind comes back? What if he corruped his world again and lost contact with Collin?
What if grind corrupts Collins' world because of him?
He just had to hope it didn't happen. Or never happens.
He signs and puts his attention back on the sleeping boy ontop of him, smiling. As long as they had one another nothing bad will happen…
Right?
