The sun was just starting to set when you got home, (bf/n) had said (his/her) goodbyes and went on (his/her) own way. You waited till you know (he/she) wasn't going to turn around, and you ran quickly to your closet. You climb down your hidden ladder to your mined out tunnel and run.
You had so many questions, and so many things you wanted to hear from him, and him only.When you finally got out, you are bombarded with the smell of fresh air, but you continue to run. You stop by the ledge and yell, "Hero!"
A familiar noise echoes from behind you and you feel hands lightly grab your arms."So excited to hear me again, you had to call me yourself~." You turn your head slightly towards his voice. You could feel his gaze on you, and you could just tell he was reading your expression, and his grip tightened. "So (he/she) told you?" He sounded almost, disappointed, you nod. "So is this where you run away screaming," his voice got eerily close to your ear, but you don't move, "or is this where you try to kill me!?" He was angry, but you could tell he was only upset.
"Hero..I would never,"
Before your brain realized what was happening, you were being held over the ledge, by the tight grip on your arms, but you were calm. You knew this might a chore to show him you're not leaving.
"Why are you so calm?! Are you not afraid I'll drop you?!"
"I know you would never hurt me, Herobrine. I'm not like them, you don't scare me, now please put me down, I don't like touching the ground. not being able to touch the floor." you speak as if you're talking to a child, carefully. You feel him move back a bit, and the pressure of the earth on the pads of your feet. He's quiet, his grip still tight on you, not wanting to let go, as his body drops to kneel. You place your hands on his, signaling to let go, and he does. You turn around and kneel in front of him, and glide your hands till you find your way to his shoulders. A light salty smell filling the air, "You could have easily killed me when we first met, you could have left me to be incinerated by the blast. But no, you let me live, you saved me, you are no enemy to me." other than the few hics that escape him, he's quiet, he puts his hands back on your arms.
"I was so alone before you, you're the only person I can actually talk to, everyone shuns me, even my brother. I didn't want you to know, cause I thought you'd fear me and run" *hic* "even when I jumped you, you won, and helped me up. You had me so intrigued when you never screamed that I was a freak when you saw my face. But when you told me you were blind, and didn't know who I was, I was so thankful. You didn't fear me, you treated me like a normal person."
"Hero, I won't leave you because of the life you were forced to live, this was a road that no one else could have taken, these were the cards you were dealt. I could never let you suffer for the fate you had no control over." you carefully move your hands to his cheek, you fix the angle of your head to look straight at him. "I understand you, even slightly, my eyes were the reason I was teased when I was younger. Some thought I was the reincarnation of you, which I didn't understand why that was a problem, so I was feared until (BF/N) talked to me. Then it basically went away." You wipe his tears away, and continue "I used to hate my eyes, the fact I couldn't see, the fact that I couldn't do anything without someone to help me. But, finally knowing who you are, its made me realize. Thats why I was born like this, so you could find me, without sight, I could never have known who you were, to fear you. I was born blind, so I could be the one to give you the chance, no one with sight, would give." His arms move behind you, and pull you into a tight embrace, he holds you as if he's afraid you'll disappear. He rests his face in the crook of your neck, tears soaking the collar of your shirt. You rub circles on his back, and whisper small comforts in his ear, calming him down.
You stay like that for a few more minutes till his breathing relaxed, and you were just sitting there in his arms. "Hero?" he shifts slightly.
"Sorry, (Y/N)." His voice was quiet.
"For what Hero?"
"For acting like I did, I'm really not like this, I'm normally mentally strong. I haven't had an episode like this in a very long time." you shush him.
"Even the strongest fall sometimes, but it doesn't make you any weaker, or make me see you any differently."
"Thank you, (Y/N)" he removes himself from you, the warmth leaves with him. You lift your hand a bit and he helps you stand.
"It's no problem, I just need to know if you're okay now? You know I'm not going to leave you over this right?"
"Yeah, I know." He's quiet after, you believe its from him thinking over something.
"What?"
"Um," he was hesitant, you felt something warm on your forehead. It only stayed for a couple of seconds before it left. You were confused on what it was and again your expression gave away your confusion. "It was a kiss, you can punch me if you didn't want it." You feel your face heating up so you cover it with your hands.
"No, no, I didn't hate it, it's just new." He chuckles, and you get pulled into his arms once again.
"Thank you, (Y/N)."
