...Graser.
"I heard a creeper explosion. You alright?" Graser asked, handing you a tissue and pulling you up on your feet. You wiped your face dry and tucked your hair behind your ears.
"Yeah, I'm alright, but my house and all my stuff isn't." You nodded, staring sadly at the broken pieces of your house. "I'm such a noob." You sighed.
"No, you're not, each of us have had our accidents. We help each other on The Cube, not put each other down." You gave him a small smile.
"I guess you're right. It's just that I feel like such a noob, putting pressure plates at the entrance." You sighed. Graser took your hand and led you towards spawn.
"Just because you think you're a noob doesn't mean you are one. Plus, the President reaches the final verdict, not you. And I'm certain that he doesn't think you're a noob just for that one accident." He smiled reassuringly at you, making you feel a little happier. Or at least, you had the impression he was smiling, it's a little hard to tell with his robot suit on.
"Do you want to stay at my place for the time being? I'm sure I have extra space for you." He offered. You, having nowhere else to stay, nodded and smiled. The two of you stopped in front of the iron farm, and Graser popped in and pulled out a stack of iron.
"This is for you to craft a new set of armour and tools." He smiled and placed them in your empty bag.
"That's a lot!" You exclaimed, "I can't take it! You need it for your business!" You then proceeded to fumble with the latch on your inventory bag, but Graser put a hand on yours.
"Don't worry about it, you'll need it. Though The Secret Service requests you keep it a secret." He assured you, and you could have sworn he winked at you somehow.
You smiled gratefully up at him. "Thank you."
He smiled back and led you to MrMitch's Bakery. "Now, stand right here. I'll be back in a second." He told you, so you stood by the door, trying to peek in at what he was doing.
A minute later, he emerged from the short building with a bag of something. You smelled bread and cheese, but couldn't figure out what it was.
"What is it?" You asked curiously, eyeing the bag.
"A little something, for a late dinner." He simply told you, and you followed him through the Nether portal and down his path. The walls were patterned with different coloured clay, making it really pretty.
"Wow, that looks awesome!" You complimented, and he nodded, helping you into the minecart. He pushed a button next to it and the minecart whizzed off, transporting you to the nether portal in a matter of seconds. Graser arrived shortly after in his minecart, and the two of you walked through the portal.
The first thing you saw was a tree in front of the portal. Stepping around it, you saw Graser's modern style house, and you gasped. It was really nice, and the quartz added a really nice touch to it.
"That's an awesome house! Did you build this?" You asked as the two of you went inside.
"No, no. Our builder Bayani did. He's good with building...stuff." Graser chuckled as he set the box down on the table. He pulled the object out of the bag to reveal...a pizza box!
"Pizza!" You exclaimed happily, running over to it. "How did you know pizza was my favorite food?"
"It is?" Graser asked, "Pizza's my most favorite food too!" You beamed at him as the two of you sat down. To tell the truth, you were a little hungry from the walk earlier. He opened the box to reveal (favorite kind of pizza) pizza.
"Awesome! My favorite! You're the best, Graser!" You exclaimed happily.
"Heh heh, I try."
As the two of you enjoyed the pizza a thought suddenly occurred to you.
"Graser, what do you look like?" You asked. He seemed to pause a little at the question. "Like, have you ever shown your face?"
He shook his head. "Nope. I am the Secret Service after all, so I prefer to stay unknown."
"Is that how the whole Graser is Ugly trend started?" You asked, referencing a conversation you heard between Hbomb and TYBZI.
"Pretty much, but that's just a joke. I like being a robot." He shrugged.
"Can I see you without the costume?" You asked.
He hesitated. "I'm not so sure-"
"Please?" You pleaded with puppy eyes. He was a really nice guy, and you really wanted to get to know him face to face.
Graser sighed, but chuckled. "I guess, but beware, because my ugliness might kill you." You smiled a little and nudged him. Slowly, he removed his head piece.
Wow, he was hot! He had golden brown hair and warm brown eyes that matched his kind personality.
"You look amazing!" You beamed. "Better than the robot head, at least!" He chuckled and took another bite of his pizza.
"Keep it a secret though." He winked at you as the two of you finished the pizza. You nodded and ate the last bite.
"That was an awesome pizza, thank you." You said, and followed Graser up the stairs to the bedroom. His bed was in a corner, lit up by a redstone lamp.
"Lemme just get the room ready. Make yourself at home for now." He told you, and you nodded. Having nothing to do, you looked through his array of double chests. Everything was very neat, and each item took up one row of the chest.
"Isn't this a huge waste of space?" You asked, looking through the chests.
"It looks neater." He shrugged. You nodded and went further upstairs to the roof. In the moonlight, the jungle trees around the house had a silvery look to them. You breathed in deeply, enjoying the view.
"You like it?" Graser's voice rang as he stepped up next to you.
"Yep, it's beautiful." You breathed.
"Did you see that?" He asked, tapping your hand and pointing to a face on top of it. It was a picture of Graser's robot face made out of wool. You couldn't help but giggle.
"What's so funny?" He asked, and you just laughed. After a few more seconds, the two of you enjoyed the moonlight in silence. Neither of you noticed how your head was leaning against his shoulder, or how your hands were intertwined.
"Thanks Graser." You smiled while staring out into the open.
"You're welcome." He said as he kissed the top of your head. You paused for a moment and turned to look up at him.
"Oh I'm so sorry, I don't know what came of me." He quickly apologised. You were really surprised. You thought he was hot and sweet and all, but you didn't really think he felt the same way.
"It's quite alright." You gave a shy smile and stared into his eyes. "To tell you the truth, I like you too."
His eyebrows raised in question, but then he gave you that warm smile and pulled you into a hug. You hugged him back, happy to have someone who was as loving as Graser. Wrapping an arm around you, they two of you went back downstairs and laid down on your beds.
"Good night Graser." You smiled as you leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before sliding into your covers and turning off the lights. Graser paused for a moment then smiled.
"Good night (y/n)."
