Chapter Text
It was one of those loud, usual days in college. The halls were already crowded with people trying to get to class or assholes just hanging out. The loud sounds grew louder and louder, especially for Jude and his sensitive hearing. His fluffy blue bunny ears flopped down to his sides and he held onto them annoyed. His eyes twitch as he tries his best to get past people in the hallways. He despises people with the sole exception of his friends. “Jude?” a voice called out to him, he remembered that Parker, his best friend, was by his side this whole time. His anger melted a bit when he remembered. “What's up?” Jude responded with an attitude, he didn't really mean to be rude. But he has a bad habit of being rude to others.
“Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Or is it how ridiculously loud it is in the hallways right now?” Parker raised an eyebrow and questioned the bunny. While they walk inside the classroom and get near Jude's desk. The Enderman watching Jude as he sets his stuff down on his desk. Jude felt like he was getting mocked by Parker. His face twitching ever so slightly. “just the loud gooners in the hallways. I had the best sleep of my life.” Jude gave a cheeky, tired grin to Parker, making sure he is avoiding the Enderman eyes so he won't get agitated. Getting out his stuff he needs for his class.
“Oh yeah? Did you dream about Sharpness or what?” Parker teased him, seeing how sour Jude expression went immediately. Sharpness, Jude's greatest enemy, is also Jude crush at the same time. Only Parker knew that. And Jude hated being teased about it, since he wants to fall out of love. “Parker I will GENUINELY slaughter you bro—” Jude fumbled over his words and started to shake Parker aggressively, making him stumble on his two feet. Parker just giggled a bit, watching his friend being like this. “Yeah yeah, but bro, I am pretty sure everyone here in this college thinks you guys are dating bro.” “and it will never happen!!” The bunny hybrid exclaimed, his nose and tail twitching slightly. How he hated being shipped with Sharpness and liking him at the same time.
Jude really hated his love for Sharpness. He had never fallen in love with anybody. Not even small crushes. Throughout elementary, middle, and high school he had just never fallen in love with a woman. Sure girls would confess to him but he will always reject them because. Well, he wasn't interested in them. He wasn't interested in getting a girlfriend nor getting married. He just wanted to be a simple man doing YouTube videos. Until he got into college, where he met his greatest enemy, Sharpness. At first they were just rivals, until they kept seeing each other. Suddenly it felt like they were couples that pretended to be rivals so they could hide their feelings. But they're still harsh to each other, just not as harsh as they used to be.
Also, it made Jude realize that he was gay! Something he also didn't expect he would figure out in life. He thought he was aromantic after all.
“I mean yeah, keep telling yourself that. We aren't pressuring you to get with Sharpness. Just funny that you and Sharpness are enemies but also in love with each other.” Parker snorted out, hearing those words being uttered out by Jude's mouth. Jude was about to yell at Parker until he processed what came out “but also love each other”. Jude didn't want to jump into conclusion of what Parker said, he could've accidentally said it wrong. “Yeah, maybe work on your English. I'm aware he doesn't like me and I'll stop liking him soon!” He blurted out, he looked at the clock and saw class was about to start. He wanted to get away from Parker before he started to tease him again.
“Ay mother fucka, class is about to start so you should probably go and walk up your stairs to get to your desk, and get ready. Get out of my face.” Jude demanded. Pointing at his desk where it was all the way to at the top right back of their class. “Well, alright see you in our dorm.” Parker agreed with him, teleporting over to his desk. “He gotta stop Teleporting bro, that shit creeps me out,” Jude muttered under his breath. He sat down in his seat and watched as people poured into his class, and sat down. He felt peace once again, looking at the clock–
“Heyyy Judeeee!!”
Dear God bro.
Jude bunny ears twitched when he heard that familiar voice next to him and sitting down. It was no other than Sharpness itself. Just going to be a usual day of bickering and whispering to each other during class. Jude always tried his best to ignore Sharpness. “Judy! I have a question! Who is the best martial arts fighter? Me or flowtives?” Sharpness asks Jude, thinking Jude would pick him over Flowtives. Smiling thinking about what Jude will reply with. Jude grinned, looking at Sharpness prideful eyes, knowing how to break that ego. "Flowtives." That word came out of Jude mouth , pierced through and shattered Sharpness ego.
Sharpness jaw clench, His face twitching. “Wh-what?!” the sound of his shattering ego can be heard. Jude felt and heard it, and continued giving Sharpness a cheeky grin. He watched as Sharpness sat down next to him and hissed through his teeth. “Why not me? Do you want me and Flowtives to fight and let you see with your own eyes? It’s clear that I am better than him!” making out symbols with his hands, trying to find his words. The bunny laughs as he watches Sharpness fumble over his words.
“No. Aren't you like–isnt isn't Flowtives ranked twenty best in that class? And you are ranked in the hundreds?” Jude teased him, liking how he can rage bait Sharpness so easily. He wants to make sure his words can be heard by his greatest enemy. Make it sting a little. Sharpness looked so angry, his jaw clenching and grinding through his teeth. “Well! You know I can still somehow beat him!” Sharpness dragged his palm across his face, before the bell abruptly rang. Harshly silence the bickering between Jude and Sharpness.
Jude quickly moved on from that conversation. He focused on the lesson, trying not to pay attention to Sharpness that much. Hearing the squeaky sound made by the expo marker and a white board collide together. Though to him, it was just another boring ass lesson. How can he make it fun? By bothering sharpness of course! Even though he didn't want to pay attention to Sharp. It was his only way to have some fun in the classroom!
He ripped out a sheet of lined paper that he wrote on it and passed it to Sharpness. Taking his focus out of the lesson and making Sharpness focus on him. Sharpness gave his full attention to Jude, reading the note that was passed to him. “Yo, why didn't you correct me earlier? You are so bad at combat. I doubt you are even in the top thousands” Sharpness felt his face getting hot, gripping on the piece of paper like it was needed to save his life. He felt Jude gaze on him, which even made him more flustered. He grabs his pen hastily and starts aggressively writing back to him before throwing the paper back to Jude. Jude tried to keep his giggle in, so they wouldn't get in trouble. I mean, it would be embarrassing for two grown ass men getting in trouble for something a middle school student would do, right? Passing notes to each other is such a childish thing to do! But here they are, doing it anyway.
Jude read the small note, Noticing the handwriting was sloppy and rushed to show how angry Sharpness was. “You're such a bitch! Stop talking to me!” Written in big bold letters, he can also tell that his pencil is dull due to the writing. He looked at Sharpness who was also looking at him, giggling and giving him a shit eating grin. Before he quietly whispered. “Bro got rage baited.” Sharpness groaned and looked away.
The whole class period it was just Sharpness and Jude goofing off the entire time. Writing notes to each other, like they don't have other classes together. Like they weren't enemies, like they had forgotten all of the poison they spewed into each other. Well, the notes were filled with hate crimes, but they still enjoyed talking to each other.
Class had ended, when the bell rang Jude immediately jumped out of his seat and yelled “bye bye smooth brain!” before taking his bags and running off. This barely gave Sharpness time to react, giving him a solid 1 minute before he realized what Jude meant. “This ass hole.”
The bunny hybrid was running down the hallways, laughing from the interaction he had with his enemy. Before he accidentally bumped into someone, he looked up and saw it was Tai. A black voidling, known for being aloof and slow in some cases, but also a guy who a person can hang out with. “Jude! Watch out bro- my crown almosstt fell off of my head!” The voidling yelled, fixing his crooked crown like it was a huge problem to him. Jude smiled, seeing Tai again after a week of no contact, they had nothing against each other but they were just so busy. “Oh what, sorry I guess-” “Never mind! Guess what! I'm hosting a graduation party at my dorm and you are invited!” Tai interrupted Jude sentence, smiling at him. Though it rubbed Jude in the wrong way, he heard how honeyed Tai's voice was. Either Tai is upset or whatever he plans at the party is gonna affect Jude or has something to do with Jude. In other words, Tai was planning something mischievous. And Jude had no idea.
Jude shifted his weight onto his other foot, feeling doubtful about this invitation. “Sorry Tai, but I'll pass on this one. Because ofvhow overcrowded it's gonna be?” Jude replied to him, the doubt in his voice can be heard. Tai tilted his head, not talking for a minute before speaking again. “That's fine thude! I jusstt tthought you wanted to come becauste sharpnesst and the othersst were coming!” the void demon responded way too fast, yeah Jude now knows he was up to no good at that party. He knows tai way too well, his bunny ears perked up while the other one was down.
“Yeah no tai- what are you planning, you aren't the type of person to-” the voidling black, cold, hands shook Jude's hands quickly, looking like he was trying to end the conversation before he finished his sentence. “Well- steee you there! Bai Bai Jude!” Tai ran off the opposite way Jude was going. Abruptly ending the conversation before Jude catches on to him.
Nothing had really happened to him for the rest of the day. Other than going back to his shared dorm with Parker and studying.
6:07 pm, he wasn't done with studying yet, so becoming a future trapper isn't easy. Especially with all the Redstone he has to learn, very time consuming for him. He was ignoring every notification that his phone cried out, it was very peaceful—
“JUDEEEE!!!” The door furiously slammed open, making a loud noise like a TNT blowing up. Jude jumped out of his seat, his ears lynch up, nose twitching out of fear when he heard the disrupted noise. It was no other than his roommate, Parker, who barged into his room. “PARKER WHAT THE FUCK!?” Jude angrily yelled back at Parker, pulling on his bunny ears. Parker walked up to his desk and pulled Jude up; Jude kicked him due to instinct but felt bad after. “Sorry but–” “NO BUTS! We have been spamming you to come to Tai party! If you don't come, I'll leak your address to EVERY single one of my followers on Twitter!!” “what? we live in the same fucking apartment” Jude thought to himself, before Parker interrupted his thoughts, pulling on Jude robotic arm and trying to drag him out of the room. Jude can feel his robotic arm about to snap. He opened his mouth to protest about pulling on his specific arm–
Snapped.
The arm broke in two pieces. The ripped up wires cried out sparks, falling onto the ground. Luckily there wasn't anything on the ground for it to catch on fire. Leaving both Jude and Parker safe. Parker Tensed up, holding the half of the robotic arm in his hands. He avoided eye contact with Jude, just looking at his feet, swallowing. Mostly because he is an enderman hybrid and cant make direct eye contact with people because he will get aggressive. On the other hand, Jude looked very annoyed, though he was still calm about this situation. He can be repaired anyways. They stood inside his room for a silent 10 seconds before Jude finally broke the thick silence. “Just repair me bro. Not that deep. Make sure that you don't pull on this arm anymore.” he replied in a flat tone. Getting out his repairing kit from his desk and sitting back down on his chair.
Instead of going to the party that Jude has been under peer pressure to go to. They wasted their time and fixed Jude's arm that Parker broke on accident. Though Jude and Parker didn't mind the calm peaceful silence between them. Sure it was due to Parker being awkward but Jude didn't care, he didn't want anyone to Yap in his ears. Though it's been too long in this silence; nothing but screws twisting and pulling. And he does get tired of Parker being like this instead of being his usual rage baiting, trapper self.
“Tough crowd.” Jude giggled, trying to bring back the joy and rage bait in this situation. “Oh shut up.” Parker hissed out, his voice sounding thin, his body language was also saying he was uncomfortable. He didn't even look at Jude low, he just focused his gaze on his arm that he is fixing. “Ay this was your fault motherfucka, if u would've kept your hands to yourself then maybe—no we wouldn't be in this situation.” Jude smiled, trying to keep his arm still. Any wrong move can fuck this up.
Again, it was quiet. Jude didn't have a conversation to start. Until a thought came through his mind. “Hey Jude, you know how we grew up together and shit… Surprised we stayed friends for this long. But like, how did you become so robotic?” Parker question. It’s a question that would appear to everyone's mind when they first meet Jude. His left arm is robotic, right ear, etc. How did a man who was born a fully human bunny hybrid become half robotic? Jude looked to his side, trying to think of an explanation. I mean if anything the reason why he is like this is because of how many failed traps that backfired on him. And his parents being rich enough to buy him prosthetics to make him look normal. “I mean growing up you slowly became like a robot. Of course I didn't mind cause like—there is a lot of hybrid species shit and I’ve seen worse.” Parker added on, making sure that he didn't find Jude Weird or anything for being slightly different from him.
“ehhhh, simple explanation. When I make traps sometimes it will heavily backfire on me and then I just lose a limb or something. I lost my arm because of an explosion sooo… yeah!” Jude nodded, giving just a short explanation. Nothing much happened in their conversation. Jude was bored, like really bored, this whole fixing his arm thing was more boring than a history lesson. He began looking around before putting his gaze on Parker's phone. His phone was crying notifications, a lot from Tai. It was practically screaming based on how Tai was spamming him. “Yo check your phone bro. I can see and hear the fact Tai is texting you so fast and angry” Jude abrupt the calm silence. Parker stopped what he was working on and took a look at his phone. Sent a message to Tai before setting it down and got back on Jude's arm. “Nothing important. Just Tai being Tai” The bunny hybrid looked at him and looked back at his study notes that were also on the desk. “Could've been studying if it wasn't for you.”
~~~~~With Tai, Saps, and Doomed at the party~~~~
The party was loud, people talking to each other, spilling drinks. Nothing much at all. Just a regular grown up college party. After all Tai intended it to be an early graduation party. Well, the truth is that he made this party so they can get Sharpness and Jude together. All three of them—not including Parker since he isn't here, know that both Jude and Sharpness have a crush on each other. So when they found out that Jude wasn't coming and Parker wasn't responding they were a bit disappointed. Though Tai was majorly peeved. He spent all of his money on this party—yet, the main reason why he wanted the party to happen isn't going to happen.
Tai was spamming messages to Parker, literally half jokingly threatening messages when he found out Jude and Parker aren't coming. “Dudeth! I can't believe thhisst! What happened sthat's they can't come!” Tai slurring his voice, slightly stomping on the ground and pacing back and forward. The loud bass music felt like it was mocking him. Doomedcow furrowed his eyebrows and sigh. This whole party was planned for at least months now. Just for it not to work at the end. Saps were also disappointed with the fact Jude can't come. “What went wrong?” Saparta finally said, looking at the voidling through the rainbow light. “Basthicathlly! Parker broke Jude'sth robotic arm sinceth he was pulling on itsth! And they are sthnow repairing it!” Tai exclaimed back to saps, all three of them groaned of the reasoning, Jude low could've come if Parker didn't fuck it up.
“Well, at least we got Sharpness here. And plus, let's just enjoy the party, I'm not gonna let this go to waste.” Doomed shrugged, sure it was very disappointing but damn, he wanted to eat and enjoy this party too. He began walking away from them and disappeared into the crowd of people. Saparta looked back at Tai, he looked calm but still a bit annoyed. Tai put his phone away and began searching for sharpness. “I'm gonna go talk to sharpness. Wanna see what he is up to.” He said before walking away from Sap. Saparta knew Tai would get over it and began to enjoy the party like the rest of them would.
Tai pushed through the crowd of people, lights slowly fading to another colour, he saw a familiar gold–blond coloured ponytail and began walking towards it. It was no other than Sharpness, but Tai saw he was talking to a woman. Of course it didn't mean anything to them, I mean Tai knew sharpness was gay, and that girl is just a friend of his. Just a regular guy and girl friendship! Before Tai got a mischievous, and maybe immature idea, Jude didn't know that Sharpness is fully gay, he still thinks that Sharpness likes both genders.
So what did he do? He secretly took a picture of them talking and sent it to the secret group chat of him, Tai, Doomedcow, and Parker.

Tai 7:06 pm: PLEASE BRO, SOMEONE SEND THIS TO HIM. I NEED HIM AND SHARP TO CONFESS THEIR FEELINGS.
