Work Text:
It was a pretty warm day in the summer, not too hot so it was a perfect time for battles, training and especially for Jude, the time when he trapped the most people. Well, its true that people on the strenght smp fought all year without breaks but weirdly, everywone were more active through the summer, but who am i to call it weird, after all, this type of weather was the best, you didnt felt cold while in the middle of a fight and also you didnt feel as much of the annoying sweat on your body, it was just perfect.
As always, Judelow was planning the next trap. He was more stressed about it than usual because he had to make it work before the next monday, and the worst part about it was that today was Friday! It usually takes more than 4 days to plan the trap. First of all, he needs to sketch out the trap and then build it in a solo world to see if its even working, if it is, he needs to find the right place on the server and then, he just needs to build it.
Unlucky for him, he was just about to run out of the things that he usually uses for his traps. Jude recently got a lot of commissions that he had to build, sadly, it took most of his resources. Now, not only he had a problem with planning the trap, he also had to fit with the building under 2 days and Jude also had to get the things for the trap. He was very tired, especially after sketching out a ton of bullshit traps.
Judelow stood up from his chair, looking at all the blueprints that he covered with sketches of the unsuccesfull traps. With every second he just got more and more anxious. Jude took all the blueprints from his desk and threw them into a trash bin that was placed next to his desk. He just stared at all the sketches that he just threw to the trash bin, with the kind of stare that was mixed with desperation, anxiety and the feeling of knowing that whatever he will do, how much time he will spend on planning the traps, it wont work out.
He gave up.
Trying to fight with the urge to rip all the blueprint into pieces, Jude took a deep breath while he laid down on the sheets of his bed. He slowly closed his eyes when suddenly, he heard a noise in the distance. His ears quickly went up while listening to the unknown noise. The steps got closer and closer with every second. Judelow as quietly as he could, took out his sword from his inventory and quickly potted up.
Then, a tall, armoured siluethe, with a blonde hair that was tied up with a black ribbon, creating a bow, looked coldly at the surrounding around him, with his deep, emerald eyes. The man just in the doorframe, looking around the room, like he was searching for something. That only made Jude more suspicious, he quickly hid his ears under the oversize hood of the hoodie that he wore, hoping that the man didnt notice his ears. He hold tightly onto his sword not letting the taller man out of his sight.
"what the fuck are you doing in my room, sharpess?"
Jude finally decided to speak up, he noticed that Sharpness was ignoring him. That made Judelow even more impatient. Sharp took a step closer after confirming that there are no traps in the room. He looked at the shorter man, his eyes immediately brighten up, he had to admit that he secretly liked seeing the traper, it just always brought something into his boring, pvp-only filled day.
"dude, are you going to ansewr or are you just going to be a pussy that cant even ansewr a SIMPLE question!!"
Sharpness laughed at the short tempered bunny boy, that made Judelow even more angry. Jude hold onto his sword even tighter than before with a sharp look into his eyes. He considered the option to attack Sharp for a minute, but he quickly realize that it wouldnt be the easiest task, Sharpness was one of the best pvpiers on the server after all. Even if he could technically lead him to one of his traps, Sharpness already knew about them if he managed to avoid them all while heading towards Judelows bedroom.
"Okay, okay. Youre getting way too impatient quickly. I only have a deal for you."
The trapper slightly relaxed, he thought that Sharp is going to annoy him for the rest of the day like he usually does. Its kind of embarrassing to admit that sometimes, but only SOMETIMES Jude enjoys Sharpness' teasing. Its a nice variant of their usual, more rival and bloody interactions. Jude took a deep breath, breaking his train of thoughts.
"Yeah, yeah. Just tell me what it is already."
"Well, i bet that you cant trap at least 5 people on the event next Monday, if you will trap less, you will have to make me breakfast!"
"what?" Judelow looked at Sharpness with a confused look. Jude expected a more, challenging penalty for a defeat. But anyways, he wasnt the one to back up from a challenge so easily, so of course he took it. They shook their hands, Sharpness was suspiciously very pleased with Jude agreeing to the challenge. Jude didnt know that it would only give him more pressure, the challenge, absolutely no plan for the trap, no resources and a time limit, can it get any worse? A cold sensation went through Judelows entire body.
"And what kind of challenge even is that."
He turned around, heading towards his desk. Jude opened the drawer searching for a blueprint, completlly forgetting about Sharpness still being here. Sharp curiously looked behind the other mans shoulder, looking at him taking the plan from the drawer. As much as he didnt know about trapping and all the process behind it, he couldve guessed that those are probably blueprints. Sharpness slightly bent his head, while still looking at the working man.
"...Yoouu know my cooking skills, i kind of realized how bad it tastes lately. Sooooo, you can now guess why i would give such a weirdly easy penalty."
Jude started softly laughing, he took a look at Sharpness with a mischievous grin. He was about to say something until Judelow noticed how actually close Sharpness was to him. He pushed him away instinctively, Sharp in confusion said some curse in Serbian that Jude couldnt understand.
"Heard of something called "personal space"? I dont think so while looking at your stupid ass so close to me."
"Okay, okay, im sorry man"
He playfully gave a punch to Sharpness' shoulder while he turned back to his blueprint that laid on the desk untouched. Judelow grabbed a pencil and started sketching the future trap. Weirdly, he had more ideas than usually. His sketching process went smoothly, without any breakdowns or unnecessary stress like earlier.
Then he felt something, a hand that gently touched his hood, slowly pulling it down. For the first few seconds he didnt react, but when he felt that the hood got pulled down almost completely, revealing his ears, Jude quickly pulled it back on his head. He turned his around only just to see Sharpness trying to pull it down again. He slapped his hand away with a angered look on his face.
"Bro, what the fuck are you doing??"
"N-nothing.."
Sharpness realizing that he got caught red handed while in the middle of his act, he turned his head away with embarrassment, trying to hide his flushed face. Jude raised up his eyebrow, his look slightly softened when he looked at Sharps flushed bright pink cheeks. He still thought why would the other man even do that. Did Sharpness wanted to see his ears?
Thats just gay as fuck.
But as he thought, he kinda was curious how would this situation end up looking like. He shook his head trying to break out of the weird thoughts. The two of them looked at each other in a very awkward silence, both of them didnt know what to say, or what to do next. Sharp blinked a few times and slowly took a few steps heading towards Judelows bed. He sat on it without a word, Sharp then looked at Jude once again, noticing that the other man quickly turned around facing his blueprints, he took a pencil and continued working on the sketches.
