Chapter Text
Mob was at the tower, his favorite build, his favorite place since you could see everything there, or was his favorite due to that incident.. He replaced the broken glass on the tower, trying to get his mind off certain things (and feeling too).
Mob had been recently finding excuses to be alone or geniuenly just away from Verity, well its not like Verity wasn't making excuses for Mob to leave either.
If anything Verity was the one who was acting weird the most, always getting startled and/or panics when Mob came back early after he sent him away, would hide in corners or wherever he could fit and hide in (in his ball form that is).
Other than that, when Mob was trying to find a spot to make another build, possibly taking down a build he made and making a new one, he found make up, wigs the same yellow shade of Verity's skin, and dresses. Verity wouldn't use that stuff! Would he..? No, that's silly, he wouldn't look or dress feminine even if he offered Verity his whole life savings. But the thought of it made Mob blush, Verity looking like a female? A buff woman or a hot babe?? Oh my... NO! SNAP OUT OF IT MOB, THAT'S WEIRD!! Guys can't dress or look feminine, they're both boys!! Boys can't like boys, Boys can't like boys, Boys can't like boys!! /Ref
But Mob couldn't get the out of his head, he hated the fact that he liked Verity, god he'd look so.. pretty as a girl, but he also is a pretty boy..
Dear god, why was he thinking about these things, it was bad, it was a sin. Well at least that's what he'd been told, mob felt ashamed of thinking about Verity in such ways, but remembering that Verity knew everything (which in this case he probably knew what he was thinking) made him panic.
" Hey pal! Whacha doing? " Verity walked over to Mob, he was panicking internally as well due to the fact that Mob just found his stuff. He knew Mob was internally homophobic but what he was scared about is Mob telling it to actual queerphobic people.
" So uh.. Verity! Where did this stuff come from? " Mob tried to keep his cool, he did want to know where those came from.
Verity was thinking about a decent response without exposing himself, " Well, i brought a friend the other day while you were gone! "
...
Verity brought a friend.
A "FRIEND".
HOW COME VERITY CAN BRING FRIENDS AND MOB COULDN'T!? HOW WAS THAT FAIR??
Mob was jealous. Jealous of the fact that Verity could bring friends over and he can't.. Jealous of the fact Verity was with other friends.
No. He isn't like Verity, he isn't some obsessed freak like Verity! But he now understood what Verity felt, He felt jealous of Verity being with someone else.
It wasn't like him. Whatever. WHATEVER.
Mob's eye brows furrowed, no longer mentaining eye contact with Verity, " I think i ran out of building materials, i'll be back Verity, just stay here. " " Okay! " Verity smiled warmly, walking towards the crafting table beside mob's bed. The spot where he was most of the time he wasn't brought with mob during his adventures or whatever.
Mob dragged himself through wherever had a bunch of trees, since he did cut the remaining trees around his base.
He began to chop down the trees, probably to distract himself again, cause what was he doing back there, why didn't he bother to ask who it was? Why didn't he–..
These thoughts of his OMG, his face scrunched up in second-hand embarrassment.
Verity. Verity. VERITY. Can Mob stop thinking about Verity??
He grits his teeth and punches the trunk of the tree, he was punching it harder and harder everytime he remembers their interaction earlier.
He was punching the tree to the point that his hands bruised. Goddammit Verity, why are you so hard to forget..
Mob felt angry.. but also somewhat disappointed in himself? He shouldn't be thinking of Verity, but another part of his brain was telling him that it was fine. He didn't know what to trust, both seemed like a high risk if he trusted one of it.
Whatever. He got what he needed anyway, it's better if he head back before Verity goes berserk again.. he didn't want to deal with Verity's bullshit, well not today at least.
A long walk back to Mob's house, since well.. he got lost again.
Stupid idiot forgetting he could've just teleport instead of running all the way to his house once he spotted it.
Mob slammed the door open, panting because he ran out of stamina.
" You forgot you could teleport, didn't you? " Verity spoke out of the blue.
Mob glared at him, hurling a wood block at him. Verity didn't flinch, he just watched mob storm off to the part of the room he just demolished.
" You should expand the wall you made around the house too, mob! " Verity said cheerfully. Mob groaned loudly, hurling another block at Verity, " Shut up, shut up.. " he mutters the words repeatedly, trying to focus on building instead of focusing on Verity.
And of course, the SOO obedient Verity did shut up.
God Mob would do ANYTHING to distract himself from Verity. Verity this Verity that. Always Verity.
Oh right, He forgot about his dear friend Twixxel! Yeah good idea Mob, invite Twixxel. Verity wouldn't mind company right? " I'll be right back, Stay there Verity. " And after so, Mob left. Verity just stared at the space Mob was standing before he left the game, Mob left too quickly that he couldn't even say anything. Well he'll be back anyway, he shouldn't be worried about anything.
Ring ring!!
The fuckass discord ringtone was loud in Mob's quiet apartment, He called a few more times before Twixxel picked up.
" what's up? " Twixxel spoke, while Mob was grinning ear to ear. (Idk what they're doing, bro's just writing straight up BS😭💔)
" Yo! You've gotta join me bro. I just got this new Mod a while ago, you HAVE to see it. It's Smart and— "
Twixxel interrupted Mob in the middle of rambling about Verity.
" You sound like a kid describing their crush ngl, but sure. "
" I do NOT have a crush on it. "
" Dang, they were right about you. You are a massive ass TSUNDERE. "
" I'M NOT A TSUNDERE, TWIXXEL. WHO EVEN TOLD YOU THAT?!?!?!!? "
