CAPTURE - Herobrine x Reader x Steve

3 - S A V E D

Y/N! Y/N! PLEASE!"
I blinked my sore, pained eyes slightly, feeling sudden bursts of pressure on my chest. I snapped my eyes open and felt a rush come up my throat, sitting up abruptly and turning over slightly, coughing and vomiting up water. "Mm.." I groaned in discomfort, feeling tears rush down my face. Cheers came from all around me, and suddenly big, warm, strong, rough arms captured me in an embrace.

"Jesus christ.." I heard the hoarse, cracking voice of Steve. I got ahold of my senses, and went limp in his arms, taking in a huge breath of his scent. "Y/N, you scared the hell out of me." He said breathlessly. I shivered from the slight breeze, realizing my clothes weren't on my body. I then huddled myself closer to Steve, blushing at the surrounding villagers excited about my revival.

I glanced back at the bathing pool, and squinted in confusion. My sweater.. it was nowhere to be seen. "Steve.. did you grab my sweater..?" I managed to choke out, my throat still sore from coughing up water.

He glanced back at the bathing pool and tilted his head in confusion. "No.. hang on- I need to get you somewhere warm. Does anyone know where the warmest place here would be?" "Hagh, haugh. (The library has a fireplace in the reading nook)." "Thank you. Please excuse me." He picked me up, trying his best to shield my nude body from the villagers before darting toward the library.

Curling up in a blanket Steve had gotten from the Shepherd, I shakily sipped on the coffee provided by the librarian. "Y/N, you have to tell me what happened. Why were you out there so late?"

"I was just bathing, and…" I racked my brain. Why couldn't I remember what happened? There was no recognition of what I had experienced the night before. "I think I just slipped.." I finished my sentence and Steve sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Don't go out there so late. Mobs could approach, and don't rely on the golems to protect you. One false move and they're just as dangerous." He mumbled in annoyance. "I'm going to go back to the Shepherd and see if they can get you some clothes. I'll be back, just stay here."

He walked out of the library, and I curled closer to the fireplace, unable to comprehend the night before still. What happened? There was no way I was that clumsy.

A baggy, black tshirt. Far beyond my size. And short shorts. That's all he could find. I sighed, pulling it over my head, and stretching. Running my fingers through my knotted hair, I made my way out the door.
I took in a breath of fresh air, my chest still tight. "Y/N!" I heard Steve shout, I turned my head and I saw him waving in my direction. I smiled, and waved back as he carried a sheep under his right arm, getting distracted by a baby villager kicking a rock in his direction as he laughed and ran after the child.

I noticed that the sun was just about to begin setting, so I went back to the home that we had stayed in the night before.

I poked and prodded at a potato that was roasting inside the smoker, smiling at the yummy aroma it gave off. "Steve, did you want to eat dinner?" I turned my head towards the bed that was behind me, my bottom sat on the floor while Steve laid in bed. The only light in the home was from the smoker in front of me. No response, just small snores. I softly chuckled, removing the potato from the smoker. I ate my dinner, and crawled next to Steve to rest my own head for sleep.

"DO you seriously believe you could get away from me that easily.."
What?
"Do you seriously believe.. you could've gotten away that easily. Aw, my love..

You aren't Steve's."
