Work Text:
Parrot was sitting on the snowy mountain with his arms curling around his legs and wings trying to stop the snow of falling on his head while still keeping him warm. He was looking at Paragon, the 'world' his former Best friend made to ( and parrot quotes ) "keep him safe" and to not let him die.
He didn’t know how much time had passed since he first came in here... it couldve been months or more at this rate
Parrot heard footsteps in the distance and snow crushing under the persons feet, it was Wifies, the 'best friend' Parrot was thinking about. He didn't trust Wifies not even a bit, but he still /believed/ that this Wifies could turn back... though he was on the edge of not beleving in it anymore. He just needed proof that would bring his spirits back up and fix Wifies. Maybe being kind would help him bring the old Wifies back?
"Parrot!" Wifies yelled from afar "can you help me?" Help him? With what??? Parrot stood up, his wings shaking the snow off. He turned and saw Wifies with... are those blocks of a spruce tree?
"Hellooooooow, little help here! This axe is about to break!" Wifies yelled again, he was right, that diamond axe looked like it had seen even more wars then Parrot had, and thats saying something.
Parrot quickly ran towards wifies, pulling out his own axe on the way. "What are you doing bro???" Parrot asked, his face full off confusion "Getting a christmas tree dude" Wifies said it so simple it made Parrots face look like it had seen someone escape this prison first try.
"...its christmas!?" Parrot said with shock and a hint of the left over confusion "yea-" Wifies got interupted by the axe breaking, little diamond pieces falling and disapearing in the thick snow. A pause happend for a few breaths then he continued. "...I /was/ saying, it is christmas bro! Soooo lets get into that mood shall we?" Wifies looked at Parrot with his normal expresionless face, then a slight smile creeping up "cuz lets be honest you do not look like it..."
Parrot's brows squished toghether in an annoyed face, his grin betraying him though "wow...thats rude bro" Wifies /was/ right tho, he had been so focused on escaping, and finding that escape route. He dindt realize how much time had passed... it was concurning
Parrot cut down the last bits of the tree, making sure it fitted enough for a christmas tree. "Great! Now- ...now what?" Parrot asked to Wifies. "We go back to our house's and decorate!" Wifies picked up some of the left over blocks "c'mon bro!" Wifies grabbed Parrot by the wrist and pulled Parrot with him.
As they arrived by their house's Parrot relized that their really was a bit of snow in the other biomes aswell! Though the bit of normalism didnt help te fact that the trees still blossemd while the tree's where supposed to have no leaves and look dead...
Parrot and Wifies worked togheter to place the tree, it was weird for Parrot working with the same guy who he had been looking for but also the one who sent assassins after him...
While working on making the tree bigger, one of Parrots wings got stuck on a wire with the christmas lights on it, his wings flapped to throw it off but if only got more stuck... Wifies heard the flapping and looked towards the sound, his face quickly changed with concurn walking towards Parrot with a quicker pace then normal. "Here, let me help you..." Wifies stretched out his hand for help but Parrot hit it away with his trapped wing. "I dont /need/ help! I can do this." His voice came out harder then expected, he still dindt trust his so called 'friend' not after...everything.
Wifies started at him, trying to keep his face blank but if you looked closley you can see the painful look on his face, he let out a sigh and whisperd "...okay, if you say so" and slowly walked back, staying closer then before... Wifies knew Parrot was to stubborn to ask for help, and all he ever wanted in life was to help Parrot, keep him safe, under his wing... under HIS control.
After a few minutes and more struggeling then Parrot would like to talk about he got the lights out of his wings, the tree was almost done ( now with the lights actually in ) it only needed something on top...like a star! Parrot knows its basic but...he has a nice memory with a friend about stars, Nufuli...The old right hand man of his other 'friend'' Leo. At the thought of his friends Parrot felt his eyes water a bit, he knew Leo was one of the guards in this prison which he dindn't know /what/ to think about...quickly he wiped the beginning tears from his eyes 'Wifies can't know /more/ weaknesses' Parrot thought.
Wifies walked towards parrot having the star in hand. "Do you want to place it?" He asked, a smile creaking on his face, happy that the tree was almost done. He wanted Parrot to place it. Maybe that would help him realize this perfect world he made WAS perfect. WAS safe. WAS all he needed. And WOULD keep him here!
Parrot nodded, looking quickly at the sky catching a glimpse of the touching stars, he took the star out and some blocks to get up to the top of the tree. He placed down the gold start at the top, it shined amezing with the little glitter it had. He mined back down, putting the blocks in his inventory.
"Its... amazing!" Wifies said, a small apearing twinkle in his eyes. Parrot catched that... Was the old REAL Wifies still in there?
"...it is, isn't it?" Seeing Wifies this happy in so long gave Parrot new hope. A smile appearing on his face, Parrot tried to contane it but it grew bigger... his best friend /was/ still in there.
