Magma's P.O.V.
"So this is it, huh?" I muttered in aghast. They remained silent, unsure of what to say. The cold air whipped us, gradually making the silence unbearable.
"Yeah. I'm honestly going to miss this..." Aranea trailed off, to which caught not only me by surprise. She doesn't usually speak but then we nodded.
Webby rolled her eyes, but the fear of goodbye lingered in them, I noticed. "Shut up guys with the drama, it isn't the end of the world yet!" She crossed her arms and laughed, tossing her slick black hair behind her shoulders.
We all remained silent, again.
"But this isn't goodbye." Blaze blurted out. Suddenly, our spirits rose.
"Yeah, besides we can visit the headquarters anytime, right?" Webby asked in excitement, the light coming back in her eyes. I chuckled in amusement.
I nodded. "So where are you guys staying?"
"Don't know." Blaze yawned as he gripped his things.
"I found a village nearby though. I'll be settling there." Zoro leaned on a nearby trunk of a birch tree.
"Oh." Andy mumbled. "I guess Magma will help me build our home." Wait, what?
"Yes. You and I will live together. No buts. And you better keep your thoughts to yourself." Andy snorted and I scowled, hitting him not so gently with my hand. We all laughed in unison before setting off to find new homes.
We bade goodbye to each other, with a few sentimentality thrown here and there. I mentally rolled my eyes, but I have to admit I'll actually miss them.
I gave Webby one last hug before we go. "Thanks for everything." I smiled, before breaking free of her semi-deathly grip. I could see tears building up at the corners of her red eyes and I laughed at her. "Don't be dramatic, all of us are gonna meet here someday soon." She hit me in my arm and we laughed together. "Bye," I stuck my tongue out before running towards Andy who's impatiently waiting for me at the garden gate. He said his goodbye to Webby before closing the gate. I gave the headquarters one last look, I'm gonna miss this and the memories.
Zoro came with us, he said that the village came in the direction where we're heading. The three of us boarded mine carts, the journey long enough before we rode a boat.
When we reached the dock, Zoro said his goodbyes.
"So I guess this is where we'll part." Zoro said. I nodded.
"So bye then?" Andy sheepishly asked. Zoro gave us a smile before grabbing his things. He waved before mouthing something.
"Good luck."
What is that supposed to mean?

Unbeknownst to humans, Andy and I gathered resources in order to build a hidden house. We planned to find a suitable cave and I will carve an opening, and Andy will be the one to place the wooden blocks. Then Andy will place obsidian blocks inside the wooden layer so that humans can't break through it easily. Unless, you know, they have diamond pickaxes.
The next thing we knew, it was close to sundown already. The floors, walls and ceilings were finished but the interior hasn't be planned yet.
Nevertheless, we gathered some wool and some wood and made beds.
"Oi, just make one bed. I want us to lie side by side." Andy pouted. I shot him a weird look, this guy's so childlike.
"No." I shook my head. He stomped his feet and I threw a wooden block. He almost didn't catch it if he didn't teleport in time.
"Tsk. Who knows you might do anything..." I trailed off absentmindedly. The next thing I see, he's infront of me, leaning cockily.
"And what is that, if I may ask?" He smirked. "What are you thinking?"
"Wha--!" My eyes widened upon realizing what he meant. I felt my cheeks redden in embarrassment and I tossed another block. Typically, he laughed before continuing our work.
We finished before night came and I stood back in wonder, marvelling at a job well done.
Sleepiness doesn't come at a creeper easily, unlike humans. But this day was tiring and I just wanted to hit the hay.
"Magma?" He said, while cooking something in the kitchen. "Mhm?" I sleepily mumbled, gazing out the window.
"Would you like to eat something?" I perked up instantly.
"Of course. That's obvious." I stuck out a tongue playfully before he smiled, and ruffled my hair. My eyes widened when I saw the jam-packed table.
"Wow..." I gazed in wonder. "You did all of these?" I asked.
He pulled out a chair and set me down, chuckling. I raised an eyebrow at this.
"Gentlenderman." I commented. He laughed heartily at this.
"Is there even a word like that?" He cheekily asked, watching me eat the delicious food. My eyes lit up instantly once I've tasted the dish and I bit the urge to exclaim.
"Seriously, I envy you and Webby." I dug in the food once more, savoring the food. He chuckled, his loveable eyes trained on me. It was making me self conscious but I was already starting to grow into it.
As expected, I immediately felt sleepy once again.
"Are you tired already?" I nodded, my eyes drooping sleepily. He stood up, placing the used plates on the sink. "Yeah, but I'll wash the dishes."
He shook his head. "No need. You rest now, then I'll come join you, okay?" I nodded, too tired to argue.
He tucked me in, before I glared at him lovingly. Woah, I never knew 'glare' and 'lovingly' could be in one sentence.
"Join me as soon as you finished. Okay?" I inquired. Andy sat beside me, and I nuzzled in his warmth. We stayed like this for a few minutes, the silence lulling me to sleep.
"Okay. But don't sleep yet."
I mumbled a small sound, indicating curiosity. "Uh?"
"Don't sleep yet. Wait for me."
I nodded and mumbled a small okay, hugging the pillow next to me. I imagined it as Andy. The sleepiness was starting to overtake me but I needed to wait.
Minutes after, his familiar thud of footsteps echoed outside the hallway. He peeked on the door. "Hey. I thought you slept on me." I chuckled.
"What do you want to tell me anyways?" I sat up, rubbed my eyes and gave him my full attention. I hugged the pillow tightly, watching him.
He sat next to me, his purple snowflakes dancing in the air. I noticed that the way his snowflakes danced, it always matched his emotions. I could tell he was nervous.
He had always hated how I am quick to decipher what he feels. But I don't know how I do it, all I know is that I know.
"I wanted to ask something."
"What is it?" He fumbled with the hem of his polo, before looking up at me.
"Would you like to be my lady?"
