His eyes open as the golden light hits him straight in the face,making a soft groan. Closing them briefly before opening once again, lazily he looks around to see Verity is still asleep(even tho he doesn't need to sleep but shhh) next to him. He slowly and quietly as possible moved away from the man, getting out of the bed as he fixed his hair and got dressed. Mob grabbed some tools to bring with him along with some food,opening the door and praying the male upstairs wouldn't hear it and instantly get pissed. The last time he left without his friendly little helper..well let's say it didn't end well and he got a scolding.. that's putting it lightly. He leaves the house, enjoying nature for a second as he continues to adventure. Hearing the bee's soft humming sounds as they go from flower to flower,the sunlight dancing across the water while the flowers and plants gently sway from the light breeze. Best of all,the warmth that seeks into his skin,not too hot but not too cold. He makes his way to the dark cave that was kinda far from base,taking out a torch in one hand as he continues deeper in the cavern. Hearing all types of mobs and sounds around him,he wasn't looking for anything in particular he just wanted to get away from his clingy 'friend' and didn't wanna be locked in the house all day. He makes a left then a right,maybe he could also get some coal but also he already had a stack at home..oh well can never have too many resources. Grabbing his pickaxe he starts to mine because he wasn't having any luck with just walking around,he mines to the sides then down some but still no luck.
"Damn.." he mutters, glancing around but continues anyways and eventually finds some amethyst. His eyes widen as he hears a hissing sound, without any thought he jumps quickly to dodge the exploding creeper but ends up cutting his side on the sharp amethyst, surprised he didn't accidentally impale himself somehow. He groans in pain as he feels his blood slowly leaking from him,he lifts up his hoodie to see the gash. The pain wasn't too bad he could tolerate it, he'd had worse pain than this."...Fuck. I won't hear the end of this. Maybe I can hide it without him knowing.. " He gets up carefully while looking around,"Man I didn't even get anything good." He says trying to remember where he came from. Everything looked the same and he didn't really leave any landmarks or clues or where he could have come from. He ended up just grabbing some cobblestone then mining upwards. Even so he did that he still had no idea which direction was home... It was also getting close to nighttime. He didn't even mean to be down there that long,he got lost track of time and also directions too. It took this man about thirty minutes to find his way home finally. He grabs hold of the door handle nervously,not opening the door just yet, he's not ready to die right now . He lets go of the handle and looks through the window to see Verity making dinner of some sort,a sneer on his face..ohh he's pissed off. Mob swallows thickly,he was about to go or leave but he stopped himself because he knows he'd be found right away so he decided to just face the music. He opens the door slowly as he was slouching some, immediately was greeted by Verity as his smile seems to be more sardonic now .
"Welcome back! I made dinner! " Verify smiles ,taking Mob's tools and stuff to examine,like he already didn't know.
"No shield today? Bold choice! You could have gotten hurt,i know how clumsy you are.. I also keep telling you to bring your compass, you're not the best at directions." He nags the other.
"I know..I know.. i forgot I'm sorry.. also I'm not hungry and I've been out all day and I'm tire-"
"You probably haven't eaten at all today,no need to lie!" He cuts Mob off, grabbing his shoulder,taking him to the table where dinner awaits them.
"I promise it's better than the suspicious stew like last time! Just try a couple of bites! I promise you'll like it plus it has nutritional value!" He forces the other to sit down.
"... Fine" Mob hesitantly grabs the fork, starting to eat some of his meal,"mhh! It's delicious, I'm sorry for doubting you!" His eyes lit up as he took a few more bites of the beef.
"I'm glad you like it! ..Now that you are well fed. I need you to take your jacket off for me. Please" He smiles
"Uhh what for? I'm fine." Mod knows he can't keep this lie up at all,in fact they both know it but he's gonna try.
"You're wounded." Verify being straight to the point.
"No way, you're crazy bro." Denies Mob.
"You reeked of blood, no monsters bleed last time I checked. Plus I saw how your posture was earlier against the door when you never slouch before unless something was wrong."
"I'm not taking anything off for you."
"I wasn't asking Mob. It was my fault I let you go alone. You got hurt and need help. The wound needs to be treated,I don't want it to get infected. It'll probably need stitches as well." Frowns the taller male now,his hands gently going up Mob's jacket as blood gets onto his hands.
"It's fine! I promise." The other rebuttals, trying to move away from Verity.
"..You went alone and got injured. Not only that you got lost for hours and returned home very late. What if something else got to you? You're practically a danger to yourself." He sighs,scolding his good friend. " Since this isn't the first time and I can't risk losing you... Whatever I say goes. I hate doing this..I really do" He then picks up Mob bridal style with a strong grip. Mob is wiggling the best he can to get out of the other's grasp but it wasn't working.
"Dude,put me down now!" Mob hisses in anger as Verity ignores him and takes him to their shared bed.
"Let me go!"He scratches the male with his sharp nails.
"I see. This will be for your own good,rather you like it or not." He drops Mob onto the bed, hover over him as one hand takes off his belt with ease causing the other to start to freak out.
"W-Wait! Time out! Bro chill out!" He hears the panic in the other's voice.
"I need you to let me do my job,if that means I gotta be rough then so be it." He replies taking both of Mob's hands together,tying it with his belt then to the bed post.
He lifts the jacket up slightly to see the wound, tsking to himself and making some medical supplies appear. He puts on gloves then cleans the found with alcohol,hearing hissing noises already but chooses to ignore them. He then gets a thread and needle,"This will hurt." He warns Mob. He fed the thread into the needle before piercing it into Mob's skin as he cried out,blood oozing out a little all while he says it hurts and tells Verity to stop but he doesn't. Tears runs down the half ender man's face,he had to endure it till he was stitched up.
"There! All done!" Verity being quite proud of himself,taking off his bloody gloves then tossing them in the trash for later,"Forgive me,it was for the best" he smiled as he gently rested his hand on Mob's face, caressing him with his thumb. "I didn't want you to get sick from an infection so don't be too mad with me!"
Mob was silent,he didn't know what to say,"Thanks..."
"Of course!....Next time,you won't leave without me. I'll make sure of it or I'll make it worse!" He chirps with a touch of eeriness behind his words.
