Chapter Text
Egg suggested that Wemmbu, Minute and he have a sleepover in the end. Egg can't leave the end and why wouldn't they do something like this for once! It could actually be fun, plus, Minute was like a father to Wemmbu and Egg so it would feel like a family sleepover. Wemmbu saw Eggchan as a brother, a younger, chungus brother and loved him like a brother.
They didn't have any secrets.
But one thing Wemmbu hid is that he and Flame are together.
He was gonna tell Egg and Minute about this but wanted to see if he and Flame would work out because Flame confessed and Wemmbu said he didn't particularly feel too many romantic feelings for Flame but he'd be willing to try.
They worked out well and Wemmbu caught feelings, he talked about everything to Flame. And that, Flame was extremely happy. Despite the two being rivals they could work out. Even if they told their friends there was a certain level of uncertainty about reactions, and what if word spreads? But it was mostly about the two seeing if it would work out.
Wemmbu planned to tell, Flame did too.
They lived kinda far away since Wemmbu spent some time in the End and had a base near the Wheat Civilisation and Flame lived in the Badlands which were way farther away from where Wemmbu was.
Though he and Flame got into a bit of a fight recently when Flame attacked Wemmbu out of nowhere to prove that he's the strongest once more. Wemmbu wasn't very happy and Flame tried to justify himself. Both of them were stubborn, but in the end it would usually work out. Except this time it didn't end. They glared st each other and fought 24/7 after it.
Flame's done it before, with a warning.. But Wemmbu didn't get a warning that time. He had no time to react, Flame was the reason he was in prison, and they still haven't settled that. It's been a month. They occasionally have arguments and have some issues in the relationship that they haven't really discussed and when Flame attacked Wemmbu Wemmbu didn't have a totem, so he could've died. Which was part of the reason Wemmbu was angry at Flame for attacking him.
Anyhow, sleepover!
Egg of course had many books, Minute was just staring blankly at nothing and Wemmbu was bored. Throwing his mace and catching it over and over again. Wemmbu's mace was a heavy weapon, not everyone could hold it, let alone throw it and catch it like this. He had it shrinked, but could make it larger in fights. It was easier to have it on his belt like this so yeah.
And another reason the mace is heavy is because of the amount of people Wemmbu killed with it.
And Egg put down his book.
"Wemmbu, I've actually never held the mace before can I try, yo?"
"Dalright, try pick it up"
Wemmbu put it in the center of where the three of them were sitting on the warm fuzzy carpet.
Egg couldn't pick it up and Wemmbu laughed. It was lighthearted, of course.
Minute chuckled, confident that he could since he also used a mace
"I'll try"
Maybe it was the amount of people he's killed with it that made it almost impossible to yield, because Minute couldn't either. Wemmbu just flawlessly picked it up, stood up and made it larger. He could still hold it. He shrinked it and put it back to his belt.
"Yo how about we do actual sleepover activities guys"
Eggchan said, Wemmbu nodded quickly and Minute also nodded. Less hyperactive than Wemmbu.
"Egg we should prank call people"
Wemmbu suggested
"I mean... I guess... Let's start with Boosfer.."
They ragebaited a couple of people and then it was Flame's turn. Flame didn't pick up at all.. Which sorta hurt. He wanted to tell Minute and Egg about this entire ordeal... And the relationship. But be promised Flame they'd talk if we want to do something like that because both parties should consent, if it wasn't a secret for long it would be okay, but it's lasted for a while and Wemmbu wasn't sure how to say it without a Flame to lean against...
He would be more comfortable if he and Flame
"Try calling him again"
Wemmbu tried again, nothing.
And again
And again
And again
"This guy..." Eggchan commented, shaking his head. "Is he that busy? Can't he just.."
"Why are we even prank calling people when they know my number Egg?"
"Boosfer doesn't, some other people we called didn't have you saved"
"Fair point.."
"Are you implying that Flame saved your number?"
"No"
"Sure"
"But still, he's actually ignoring you bro"
"Yeah..."
Minute noticed how Wemmbu seemed a tad bit affected by that implication, even if he didn't want to look the part. He didn't comment on it though.
Egg also noticed, but same as Minute, he didn't comment on it.
They instead just did some other stuff, Egg talked about his lore book and Minute asked Wemmbu how the overworld was since Minute was the guardian of the End and didn't leave most the time and Egg couldn't leave.
Wemmbu talked about his time in the prison and how Law is still a thing but that he heard about Spoke making a team to stop Law and that he invited Wemmbu and yadda yadda.
So they just yapped and yapped.
Until Minute asked the question he didn't want to ask because Wemmbu would be uncomfortable maybe, but he also couldn't not ask when Wemmbu looked bothered beforehand.
"Hey, Wem, why'd you look so bothered when Egg said Flame's ignoring you?"
...
It was more tense in the room now. And Wemmbu didn't reply.
...
"It's nothing.."
"It's something if you're this bothered"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"I won't force you to, but if you want to tell me and Egg what the issue is you can"
Wemmbu wasn't scared of telling them about what happened because of a reaction from Flame. Flame wouldn't be angry that he talked to his friends about his issues. Flame has tried to get Wemmbu to open up to him, he never forced him, he just asked if he's okay and told him multiple times that he could talk to him.
He figured he'd just tell Minute and Egg...
"Okay... So... There might be something I haven't told you guys,"
He was silent for a little bit
"And it is about Flame"
"What did Flame do?"
"No.. It's not really.. I mean kinda.. But it's more of a secret that I've been keeping from you, if you know what I mean.. Me and Flame.."
Egg and Minute were smart so they understood. They weren't that surprised.
"How long?"
"Five months"
"Well... I'm happy for you"
Minute was happy for Wemmbu, he was just surprised that out of everyone it was Wemmbu's now ex-rival. But the worry was still there, because if that was the case Flame was ignoring Wemmbu.
"What happened?"
"Well... Me and Flame occasionally argue and well he just attacked me after a fight against 1000 people we did together... Just for a title. And after that Lettuce took me to a prison. Flame did help break me out but.. We haven't talked about it at all."
"And he ignores your calls?"
"I mean... We haven't texted or called each other in a month.... We both ignore each other."
"I feel like you should just go to his place and talk to him about it one on one, and not over call..."
"Right now?"
"Wemmbu-.. No, tomorrow, do you seriously-"
"But I wanna go now..."
"Okay, okay, do you need rockets?"
"Yes please"
Minute placed his ender chest and took out some rockets then dropped them to Wemmbu.
"This was supposed to be a sleepover, yo.."
Egg said
"We'll have a sleepover when Wemmbu fixes his relationship problems."
Minute replied as Wemmbu waved, left the room, jumped in the portal back to the overworld and flew to Flame's base quickly.
It took him 2 hours, it was 1am by the time he got to Flame's base in the Badlands.
He knocked on the door, Flame was already asleep, it was 1am.
Flame got woken up by the knock and sighed, he forgot to put on his blindfold, Wemmbu has not seen his eyes yet because Flame didn't really liked showing his eyes. But Flame was too tired to think about it, he didn't know who was at the door.
He walked outside his room and to the front door. He opened it and saw Wemmbu...
"Wha- Wemmbu???"
"Yeah... Can we talk?"
"Wemmbu.. It's one in the morning."
"We haven't talked in a month Flame.. We have to talk about what happened."
"Wemmbu we'll talk tomorrow, I'm exhausted-"
"Yeah. And I'm exhausted of you ignoring me"
"You ignore me too!"
"Only when you do it first!"
Flame was going to slam the door on Wemmbu but Wemmbu held the door open.
"Don't close the door on me, Flame"
Wemmbu entered the base.
"We're talking about this"
"Wemmbu... Did you really think I wanted to kill you?"
"Well you always give me a warning!"
"I wouldn't ever try to kill you, Wemmbu...we were fighting beforehand so I figured that you'd just laugh and that we'd fight like usually, I'm sorry."
"Flame... Why'd you leave after the fight..?"
"... I..."
"Flame.."
"It felt like the right thing in the moment, I'm sorry"
Flame hugged Wemmbu
"I'm ditching my friends for this by the way... So thank you for making it worth it. And... Okay, fine, I'm forgiving you, but give me some sort of warning next time, or ask if you wanna fight"
"Kay... Are you gonna go now?"
Flame looked at Wemmbu, only then did Wemmbu realize Flame didn't have his blindfold.
"Your blindfold Flame.."
"Huh? What about it-..."
Flame lifted a hand and felt no fabric...
"Oh"
Wemmbu closed his eyes
"No, Wemmbu don't do that... You can look"
Wemmbu opened his eyes.
And jeez.. Flame's eyes were absolutely beautiful... One was a beautiful shade of red, it wasn't dark but it wasn't light... It was a pretty scarlet that matched the blood that flew out the victims of Wemmbu's mace and Flame's sword. The other eye was purple - violet, to be more clear, Wemmbu's favorite color. It made him feel connected to Flame even more. The two colors complimented each other perfectly, the scar around the violet eye was something that's see able with the blindfold but more clear with it off.
"Your eyes...are absolutely beautiful Flame"
"Thank you, Wemmbu..wanna go sleep?"
"Of course.."
They fell asleep in Flame's room.
In the morning they had breakfast and Wemmbu left around 4pm because he did promise Minute and Eggchan that sleepover.
