Judelow dangled his legs over the single block hole. Tai has successfully killed him with a trap— took him long enough.
It's quiet, peaceful.
Trees rustled from outside, birds chirping for whatever reason.
He's here, no armor, and right beside his spawn point. Judelow sighed and layed back on the ground.
When is Sharpness going to come? He'd been waiting forever.
Taking off the red and black ribbon attached to his bunny ear, he observed it carefully as if it was fragile.
It was rather neatly made considering it's just two pieces of ribbon sewed together. Was Sharpness always good at sewing?
He tied it back on his ear— tighter this time. It was the last thing he wanted to lose.
As he finished tying it, a distant splash of a potion made him flinch.
Judelow sat up immediately and made his way to his bed and blocked off the two block entryway, praying whoever was there would just check the trap out and leave it alone.
His shaky hand went up and touched the surface of his rabbit ear— it's warm. It's gonna overheat in a few moments. Another hand went up, searching for the off button.
It was until he heard footsteps on his level that he paused completely.
No ones gonna find this room. Right?
Judelow took a deep breath, and positioned himself beside where they might mine in.
Footsteps... a chest opening... blocks breaking.
He sees the lower block get mined— then the top.
The invisible, netherite armored person came in, and Judelow lunged forward, pushing them against a wall. Judelow's forearm at their neck.
"Who are you?" Judelow leaned close and pressed his arm harder, possibly blocking their airway.
They cocked their head.
"What, you don't recognize your teammate?"
Judelow immediately relaxed after realizing and let go of Sharpness. He could hear the smirk in his voice.
"This is how you greet me, really?" Sharpness said as he dug in his inventory for milk.
"Nuh-uh, this is how I greet an invis person, alright? Don't get it confused."
Sharpness finished drinking the bucket of milk as he finished talking.
"Yeah yeah whatever, here's your gear."
"Thanks- ah shit—" a buzzing sound, almost like electricity reminded Judelow of his overheating ears.
Judelow sat down, shut it, and took it off his head, placing it off to the side before grabbing the gear from the shulker.
As he was putting it on, he could see Sharpness in his peripheral glancing at something else, sat down as well.
"Were your ears always... detachable?" Sharpness picked it up, and examined it closely. There were ridges, letting him peer into the inner mechanisms slightly, and the ribbon they gave eachother.
"For such a good pvp'er your so blind," Judelow stated disappointedly, closing the empty shulker box.
"Wha- hey! I thought you were... I— are you not some sort of... bunny hybrid?"
"Bro are you serious. In what world do I resemble a rabb- oh yeah, Bonnie. That doesn't mean I am one though!"
"Yeah, but you have like... really grey skin and, err, yeah."
"... And what?"
"Nothing!" Sharpness avoided eye contact as his hands shot up.
"Oh I was joking, but now I really wanna know." Judelow closed the space between them, grinning like an evil maniac. "And what, Sharpness?" Their faces were inches apart.
Sharpness' cheeks flushed as he laughed nervously. "Don't worry about it, It's not something you'd... wanna know about..."
"It sure is hot in here huh? With how red you are Sharpness?" At this point, Sharpness is backed up against the wall— again. "What is it I don't want to know about, Sharpness?"
"Stop saying my name at the end of every sentence your freaking me out!"
"Tell me what it is then, Sharpness."
"Nah."
"Yeah, Sharpness."
Sharpness sighed in defeat as he began talking. "You have grey skin and.. er, you... sometimes squeak like one.. when your scared..."
That, caught Judelow off guard. "No I don't."
"Yes— you just did it bro."
In the quiet room, a tiny, high-pitched shriek can be heard.
"What!? I didn't know about that... how long did you know!?" Judelow leaned back, the back of his hand pressed against his mouth.
"Aww now your flustered!" Sharpness teased, taking the shulker back.
"Shut up— your acting so gay right now," Judelow said between laughs, absentmindedly putting on his hood.
"I'm acting gay? Bro you suggested we get eachother teammate ribbons and you were legit so close you might as well kiss me— twice!" Judelow could only laugh nervously as Sharpness continued, "If I'm acting gay, then you are gay."
"Well..." Judelow tensed up, "wait—" he pulled Sharpness by the arm away from the entryway.
"What, what's wro—"
"Shh! There's someone here." Judelow grabbed his now cooled mechanical ears and put them on again. "It's Tai. I've been around his base long enough to know how he walks."
...
"Do you like me Judelow?"
The footsteps got closer.
"As a teammate, yeah."
And closer.
"But do you like me?"
Down the ladder.
"Why such a sudden question?"
With a smug expression, Sharpness replied.
"I'm gonna rat you out." Judelow's eyes widened as he realized he was getting blackmailed.
The ladder creaked, louder and louder with each passing second.
"N- I swear to god Sharp."
Sharpness opens his mouth and takes a deep breathe, about to speak.
"A—"
Without hesitation, Judelow grabbed Sharpness' face and pressed his lips against his own.
"Mgh—"
Sharpness melted into the kiss, his hands grabbing on to Judelow's shirt. His heart beated loudly, his breath unstable.
Judelow on the other hand, was the calmest he could be.
Their kiss deepened, sweat beginning to drip down Sharpness' face and his face flushed.
Judelow's bunny ears perked up. He pulled away from the kiss and snuck around the corner. Tai was there, gazing down at the trap.
Without a second thought, Judelow snuck behind Tai, pushing him down.
Tai leaned on to the back wall, but Judelow lifted his leg and pressed his sole down on his back.
"Why are you here Judelow!?" He turned back to see Judelow grinning.
Tai stared at Judelow in... disbelief?... Shock?
That gave Judelow the opportunity to push Tai all the way down.
"What the f—" The voice slowly got quieter as Tai fell in the hole.
_Tai was impaled on a stalagmite.
"Well that was stupid."
_Tai whispers to you: did you always wear lipstick?
You whisper to _Tai: ??????????
_Tai whispers to you: bro your lips were pink what's up with that
Judelow stood up, but immediately after he turned around, Sharpness pushed him into the trap.
He expected a fall, a betrayal... but it didn't happen.
Sharpness's hand wrapped around his waist, and his other was pulling Judelow's hand up.
Judelow sheathed his sword and pressed it against Sharpness' neck.
"If you drop me, your also coming down."
"How romantic of you, Judes."
Judelow scoffed, "do not call me Judes."
"Why not? We're definetely not teammates with how we've been acting."
"...Is that good or bad?"
"Well you kissed me, whaddya think about that?" Sharpness let his grip loosen slightly, which made the blade on his neck press deeper.
"Oh I don't know, could you maybe..." Judelow used all his core strength to lift himself up and whisper in Sharpness' ear, "maybe clarify?"
"You cheeky little rat," Sharp said, no bite behind his words. He bent down and kissed Judelow again.
Apparently, a kiss wasn't enough to convince Judelow that Sharpness isn't gonna drop him because his sword is still around the blonde's neck.
Judelow peeked, the first thing he noticed was the hot pink ribbon tied around his hair.
...
He closed his eyes again.
Sharpness pulled away, and lifted Judelow up.
...
"...What? Your staring at me weirdly."
Sharpness chuckled, "You got a little— you got a little red there." he pointed to Judelow's lips.
Judelow paused for a second.
"Oh fuck Tai is gonna leak everything."
"You sure? If he failed to use an arrow cannon then I doubt he'd able to figure things out from a lipstick stain." Sharpness glanced to his bottom left. "Nevermind he's able to figure things out shockingly. Just messaged me if I wore lipstick."
Judelow sighed and started heading up the ladder, "C'mon, we're going."
"Where?"
Looking back, he grinned, "To threaten Tai."
Sharpness followed behind, "This is why I love you Judes."
"Stop calling me that."
