Work Text:
Verity had just came back from a long and tiring day of work. Bored, he decided to open up his computer to be met with 2 new messages from one of his friends on discord.
Curious he clicked on the profile, seeing his friend asking him to download the mod called "ThatMob". Hopping on Minecraft he downloaded the mod and made a new world with it, setting it as survival. Spawning in, Verity instantly noticed the box infront of him.
Suddenly he heard a voice coming from the box saying "Hey! I know you're there! Let me out!!"
Startled, Verity cautiously opened the box to be met with a black and red cube with white eyes and green pupils.
Seeing as the thing in the box was just a cube, Verity calmed down.
"Hey there! My name is ThatMob, but you can call me Mob. I know everything. You can uh... ask me anything!" Mob said.
"Anything?" Verity said.
"Yeep! As I said I know everything..." Mob said, kind of trailing off at the end as if he was uncertain.
Verity, getting more intrigued took a step forward as he spoke excitedly
"Woah! That's cool! Since you said you know everything wheres the nearest cave?"
Mob looked down a little bit, as if he was thinking. Opening his mouth but then closing it again. After hesitating for a second he finally spoke
" I uh... I actually don't know.", looking up at Verity. Laughing a bit nervously, though Verity didn't laugh with him.
"What? I thought you knew everything?" Verity said, disappointed.
"Why did my friend ask me to download you? I think I'll just uninstall you." Verity said. Mob's eyes widened, his mind instantly pressing the panic button.
"W-wait! I can give you items! Anything you want bro! I can do that!" Mob spoke hurriedly. That sentence definitely grabbed Verity's attention again.
"Oh wow! I didn't know you could give items! Can I get some wood?" Verity said, keeping in mind that he actually wanted to try beating the game instead of just using creative.
Mob's eyes relaxed, relieved that he prevented himself from getting uninstalled as for something felt... whats the word for it? Oh yea, different. something was different about this player.
"Yup, I can give you some wood." Mob said as he spawned a stack of wood out of thin air. Verity excitedly walked over to pick up the wood, making it into a crafting table and making a pickaxe.
"Since you didn't know where a cave was, I'm just gonna go look for one." Verity spoke. Looking at Mob's annoyed experssion as he picked him up and put him on his shoulder.
"Are you comfy there?" Verity said. Mob looked at Verity and said
"Yep, I am bro! Don't worry about me falling either." Once Mob said that Verity started walking around, searching for a cave. His eyes spotted a cave in the distance near a village. Running over there with pickaxe in hand.
As he mined, the light from outside started to dim. Luckily before it turned dark outside Verity found some iron to use to make a iron pickaxe, but first he wanted to make a house.
Although Verity did know that there was a village nearby he usually liked to build things on his own, and he could do that more easily now having Mob on his side!
Taking Mob off his shoulder and placing him on the ground, Verity asked,
"Hey, Mob? I'm gonna build a base for us! Can I get some building items? Like stone, wood, and ect. I also need a bed."
"Yes I can, Verity. Here you go, bro" Mob spoke as he gave him the things he asked, also sliding in some other items for Verity to decorate the house with.
"Do you want some help buildin?" Mob asked Verity. Verity turned around looking at Mob.
"Yea I could use some help, but uh... how? You don't seem to have a body of your own." Verity spoke, looking confused.
Mob looked at Verity for a few seconds, then his eyes widened realizing he wasn't in his full body form.
"Oh yeah, about that... You know what.. here, just let me show you." Mob said. Verity tilted his head as he looked at Mob, opening his mouth before getting interrupted by a cloud of smoke.
As the thick smoke cleared, a new form of Mob appeared. This form was tall. Very tall. Mob was wearing a suit with a red tie, a belt around his pants aswell as him having a bandana around his face, going with the seemingly white and green goggles on his head.
Verity stared at Mob for a few seconds, just looking at his clothes and others things, taking in what this form of Mob's looked like.
"Soo... Are you just gonna stare or are we gonna get started on building?" Mob said. Verity came out of his trance, realizing he was staring for a little too long, as a faint, but definitely noticable blush spread across Verity's face.
"O-oh! Sorry Mob... I was just.. Observing." Verity said, hoping it didn't sound too weird. Mob stared at Verity, and then rolled his eyes.
"Yeah yeah, simp." Mob said. Hearing that, Verity's face turned bright red, whilst also getting a little annoyed.
"I am not!" Verity said embarrassed.
Annoyed, Verity spoke "Let's just start building".
[ little time skip ]
Verity and Mob, finally being done building their base together, both took a step outside to admire their masterpiece.
"Woahh! We did so good! Right, Mob?" Verity said excitedly
"Yeah! I think we did pretty good." Mob said. Verity yawned, stretching his arms.
"I think it's time to go to sleep" Verity said, yawning once more.
"Yeah I agree." Mob said. The two of them walked into the house they built together, and Verity flopped himself onto his bed and putting the blanket around himself.
"Goodnight, Mob!" Verity said cheerfully.
"Goodnight to you too, Verity." Mob said, jumping up onto the crafting table next to Verity, changing back into his cube form for the night.
' So happy. ' Mob thought. ' Be glad you're interesting. I might give you a few more days '.
