Chapter Text
“Avery hold on, slow down.”
The knight and the slime have arrived at a cave they’ve been waiting to explore and get materials from, the waterfall was the first sight and a safe landing.
“Hmm… You got a bucket?”
“I left it back at the house…”
…
“Avery, What’s in your inventory?”
“Hmmm… Bread, four carrots…. Snowballs, sword and pickaxe…. And a honey block.”
Avery closed out his inventory, Dr3lord opened his.
“Sword, pickaxe, shield, and splash potions.”
Avery sighed… and took a few steps back to ponder and Dr3lord kneels down trying not to be hit by the suddenly nausea that hit him when he looked down.
Suddenly, Dr3lord couldn’t describe it but he felt like he needed to look up.
Avery jumped down.
“WOOHOOOOOOOOOOoooooo!”
“AVERY!”
A loud splash echoes as Dr3lord follows suit, safely landing.
His vision, blue from the water, loosing air, and seeing the rays of the sun.
He moved to the shallow area and sat up.
“Phew! Alright!”
Avery was in Dr3lords central vision, He looked all goopy from being diluted it made his hair longer…
“Here I’ll help you up.” Avery said.
Dr3lord didn’t know what to say. He was never really good with the words he chose to say out loud.
“Derek?”
“… How can you look so admirable…”
That’s what Dr3lord wanted to say.
But all he said was,
“Mm?”
“Come on… let’s go…”
Avery shook off the excess slime and fixed his slimy hair.
“… Let’s go! Come on!”
A harsh tug made Dr3lord snap out his daydream.
“Ow ow… okay….”
———————————————
“Crap! There’s too many of these skeletons! Ow-!”
Avery was still determined to kill the skeletons. one, to get bones to make bone meal, but also he and Dr3lord needed to get passed to mine for iron and diamonds. He wishes he could ask Dr3lord for some aid but he’s currently backing up and trying to not die from the other skeletons. Avery saw a skeleton coming his way and charged up the swords swing.
He hit the skeleton, it dropped bones… but.
CRACK!
POOF!
The sword broke.
“Shoot!”
Avery looked up and saw the skeletons all starting to shot their arrows, he decided to just well… punch them.
“Okay… Hiyaa- AH!”
Avery’s cry was cut off when he was swooped off the stone surface and the feeling of cold armor was the only thing he felt on his slimy body but as well as two arms carrying him and supporting him.
“D-Derek?! I can run you don’t have to help me!”
Avery yelled out as the fast wind passed him.
“We can *huff* get the bones another day!”
Dr3lords armor rattled as he ran holding Avery securely.
“Plus there’s no way *huff* you’re running in sandals.”
Avery registered Dr3lords words, and ran his hand through his slime hair.
“Oh yeah… Well time to get comfortable.”
——
Afterwords, Dr3lord set Avery down on the bed in their built house and sighed.
Time to make something to eat.
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
He feels rejuvenated now.
He should sleep now but he wants to make sure there’s no monsters nearby.
No mobs. No… king in yellow….
…
God he’s paranoid.
Sighing was the only thing he could do. His mind was clouded as he laid down next to Avery on the conjoined beds.
“Mph… yawn…”
Avery’s cheek rested on top of Dr3lords shoulder…

…
The swell in his heart made him feel lightheaded.
“…Breathe… Breathe…”
That’s all he could whisper to himself.
