❝...fire nation attacked. Only the avatar, master of all four elements could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished- What the f-.❞
- Dream.
Something swung by me, I couldn't dodge it fast enough. Once I turned around I saw a boy standing in front of me with my sword stuck in the tree. He stood straight and held his sword as steady as possible pointed directly towards me. I could see his hand shiver as I tried to reach my hand over to free my own sword from the tree trunk.
He wore a tee-shirt with a small pixelated fire embroidered in the center, over a black long sleeve with Adidas sweatpants to match. Dark hair fluffed up on his head, sweat dripping down into a hidden white bandana wrapped tightly around his forehead, with two ribbons flowing out to rest on his back.
"Who are you?" He spoke cautiously, mutual fear being evident in his tone.
I looked up into his dark blue eyes, which if we weren't in this current situation I would say they were very mesmerizing, I clear my throat and gain enough courage to answer back, "I could say the same for you."
"I'm the one with the sword, and if I'm not mistaken it's pointed at you. And yours..." he tilted his head towards the tree where my sword was, "... is over there."
Not breaking eye contact. I looked over at the tree and grinned stupidly from the slight embarrassment. "You're right about that." I awkwardly chuckled. I let go of my sword that I couldn't yank out of the tree and lifted my hands up above my head, "Are you going to kill me now?"
He shifts his dark eyes away from me and relaxes his hand, pointing his sword towards the pixelated grass. "I can't remember much and I have no idea how I got here."
I gazed up at him quizzically, "Can you recall your name?"
He looked back at me and his eyes twinkled in remembrance, "I'm Sapnap." a small smile appeared on his face.
"Sapnap?" I test his name out loud, he grins and reaches his hand out to help me up. "Well, I'm Y/u/n."
｡ﾟ•┈୨☁୧┈•ﾟ｡
We both stayed silent for a moment, just looking at each other. "Well, Y/u/n I think we need to find somewhere to settle for the night, because the sun is almost-"
WHOOSH...
An arrow whizzed between us past our eyes and hit a tree, simultaneously we looked at the skeleton, "gone..." Sapnap finished his sentence as the skeleton reached for another arrow and took aim directly at me.
Sapnap reached his arm out and grabbed my wrist and continued to run off, I stumbled behind him until I managed to match his pace.
As we continued more mobs spawned around us; creepers, zombies, spiders, and even more skeletons. "Where are we going?!" I yelled through breaths.
"You think I know?!" Sapnap yelled over his shoulder. Barely audible through the wind.
I suddenly regain my ability to think straight, "We need to mine into a mountain and create a temporary shelter." I shout back at him as I looked at the nearby mobs.
"Let's just make a hole here." Sapnap replied as he began digging a staircase downward. "Hurry and help me Y/u/n!"
I scope the area once more and begin to dig down with him and barricade us in.
｡ﾟ•┈୨☁୧┈•ﾟ｡
As soon as we dug far enough, we slumped to the ground and leaned our heads against the stone blocks, we couldn't see each other through the thick black coating.
"Do you have any coal?" A voice asked.
"Yeah, I don't have any wood or sticks. Where are you, Sapnap?" I felt along the wall.
"I can't see, so I don't- Ooft." I felt my face walk into a warm chest, "Found you!"
I pushed off him glad he couldn't see my face heating up and I dropped him the coal, he picked it up and opened up his crafting table, quickly crafting several torches.
He placed two down in our small box. Lighting up our space, realising how close we were, I began to blush again. His chest rose and fell with each breath he took, I could also see how much taller he was than me. I have to look up to see his face from where I'm standing.
"Uh, maybe we should make this hole a little bigger?" I kept my face down so he wouldn't see the pink tint on my cheeks.
He coughs and looks away, "Uh, yeah. That's a good idea." We both expanded the space and I leaned up against one of the walls and dropped to the floor. Sapnap sat directly across from me, silence filled the space.
"Y/u/n, do you recall anything from before we were here?" Sapnap asked softly.
I met his eyes. "No. The only thing I can remember vividly is falling from somewhere. I have this feeling that I have another name." I hadn't realized my gaze and shifted it back to the ground. "What about you?"
"Same for me, I have the same feeling and these two guys..." He gave a small smirk when he mentioned them. "I don't know their names. But I've seen other players getting achievements." He answered while his gaze went around the cave we made. He then looked back at me, "Maybe we should try to get some sleep, we're underground so I highly doubt anything is going to get in here. Then we can look for them in the morning?"
"Yeah, you're right," I began to yawn, "Night, Sapnap."
"Good night, Y/u/n." He said with a small smile as we both tried to find comfortable positions to sleep in.
｡ﾟ•┈୨☁୧┈•ﾟ｡
I woke up to a semi-bright light pouring into our little cave. Why is sunlight coming in here I blocked off?
I jolted forward from my sleeping position and looked around the cave. Sapnap was gone.
"Sapnap?..." I called out quietly, hesitantly standing up and walking up our staircase to the outside world. Temporarily blinded from the sun, I looked around and spot Sapnap sitting close by. He was looking at something, I slowly made my way towards him.
"Hey, good morning." He said as he looked at me.
"Good morning?" I question as he stood in front of a furnace, cooking some steak so I assume he went hunting. I sat down next to him and relaxed a little bit.
"You're probably going to need this." He dropped me four pieces of steak.
"Thank you." I gave him a small smile as I took the steak from him. My hunger was pretty low so it's a good thing he got food.
"There's a village way out over there." he pointed out somewhere in the distance, "I thought I'd wait for you to go check it out. You slept for aaggeessss." he dragged out.
I punched his shoulder and he took a little damage, "Hey!"
"I slept fine, although I was very uncomfortable. Did you get much sleep?"
"A little, I guess. To be honest I don't sleep in general." He scoffed. "You were out like a light." He looked at me when he said this.
"Yeah, I guess I slept so well my back hurts."
We laughed and talked for all of the morning, just enjoying eachothers company. Until the sun reached its peak, sitting directly above our heads.
Sapnap lifts himself up from the ground and begins gathering his furnace and crafting table. "We should go and scope out this village, we can set up base there."
I nod my head and trail behind him like a lost puppy.
❝Why are you so bad?❞
- Sapnap.
