A/N: Twisted here, yet again. It took me a little longer to write this than usual, since I really didnt have a clear plan for this chapter. It ended up becoming a filler chapter of sorts, but I do hope you enjoy it anyways, since I did spend quite a lot of time writing this. And to be honest, I am quite happy about how it turned out. Thanks again for the support, I see we are getting more and more readers by the hour, which makes me really happy.
Still accepting characters, just so you know. If you have one, send it to me!
...
After the meeting, we decided to stick together. The next couple of days went by really fast. We spent the days looking for minerals and supplies, in order to build ourselves some sort of home. Our current shelter was a tiny cave, and needless to say, it wouldn't suffice for very long. We were now two people sharing a very limited space, so we had our beds crammed in opposite corners.
Rain was kind of quiet. She didn't talk much, and neither did I. We both knew what we had to do, so talking became this awkward thing we tried to avoid. Even though I didn't say so out loud, it felt good to have another human being to live with. I had only spent one night alone in this world, but that night was a rather lonely one. And when your companion is a hot girl, well, things weren't exactly bad.
We started building our new home at night two. It was coming along nicely, and the base foundations had been placed. It was made from oak planks, and the corners of the house was normal oak wood. The floor was made from cobblestone that we melted back to normal stone again. For some reason, you would expect rock to be quite chilling, but it didn't feel awfully too cold to walk on. We had split the house into several rooms. One kitchen (work in progress), a living room (also a work in progress) and two separate bedrooms (hey, it wasn't my choice). This would be our first real night in the house, even though the ceiling was still missing.
It was during this night that we finally dared to speak openly to one another. It had been way too long, and I found myself eager to learn more about this girl.
"So, how long have you been in Minecraftia?" I asked, trying to start a casual conversation.
"Well, I got sucked into my computer about two weeks ago", she responded, as if being sucked into the computer was a normal thing.
"Two weeks? I haven't even been here for a full week yet! Wait, don't you have a base? I mean, besides this one?"
She looked at me for a moment, as if the topic brought back some bad memories.
"It got raided. By other people", she answered straightforward.
This was completely new to me. I didn't even know there were anyone else than us in this world.
"Wait a second, does that mean we aren't the only humans stuck in here?"
"No, we aren't. There are a few settlements around the world. I even heard that some players had built themselves a big city"
"Wow, I didn't know. Well, I haven't been around for awfully too long either, but still…" I answered, trying desperately to hide my sleepiness. The nights hadn't been too good lately. Too many thoughts in my head. She noticed my attempt to hide a yawn, and nodded her head.
"I guess we should go to bed, it`s getting late", she said, which was what I was trying to avoid. She stood up, and went over to the door leading to her room. "Good night"
"Good night" I followed her with my eyes until the door was closed, and so I headed to my room. Sleep didn't actually sound half bad.
…
I got ripped out of my sweet dreams by a knock on the door. Letting out a sigh, I hastily put some clothes on before opening to see who it was. And to my big surprise, it was Rain, standing there with her pillow under her arm.
"H… hey", she said, looking rather uncomfortable there in the doorway.
"Oh… Hello", I answered sheepishly. This wasn't exactly something I had expected.
"May I come in…?"
I immediately stepped to the side, allowing her to enter my room. She looked around like she had never seen the room before, even though we legitimately just built it earlier this day. The gentleman in me offered her my bed as a chair, since we really didn't have any other furniture in our rooms just yet.
She sat down, and let out a sigh.
"Okay, this is probably going to sound a little stupid, so please bear with me", she said, a shadow of red flying across her face. I nodded, and signaled her to keep going.
"Can… can I sleep here tonight?"
My balls almost dropped right onto the floor, as well as my jaw. What the actual hell had gotten her to ask about that? Am I really that sexy?
She must have seen the look on my face, since she immediately turned completely red.
"Okay, before you get any crazy ideas, I want you to know that I have a reason! I`m… I`m… afraid of the dark…"
Wait, wat? Wut? That didn't make any sense. We had been sleeping in different places the entire time, and now she told me this?
"Ermm… How come you never mentioned this before? I asked, clearly taken back.
"I mean, when we slept in that cave, it was so small, so I didn't really feel afraid…"
I took a moment to ponder over this girl. She had barely talked to me whatsoever, and now she was asking me to sleep in the same bed as her? This didn't make any sense!
"Well, uh, I guess you could… ehh, sleep here?" I answered, trying to calm down my testosterone.
Even though she didn't admit it, I could see that her entire figure changed, as if she became a little lighter.
…
Before long, I found myself in bed, with Rain in front of me. I tried to maintain a reasonable distance, one that would not seem suspicious. This entire situation seemed surreal, and I had to admit, things might have worked out for the better. Not every guy gets to spend the night with a hot girl in bed.
It didn't take long before I started feeling very sleepy, and my eyes slowly closed shut. The warmth from both of our bodies made it very hot and cozy under the sheets. I could sense that Rain had fallen asleep, due to her low snoring. I could not help myself; I put an arm around her waist. Her snoring stopped for a bit, but she seemed to be okay with it. And then I fell asleep.
…
Morning came way too soon. Since our house currently had no ceiling, the sun could shine straight down on our faces, which made it hard to sleep. I slowly opened my eyes, immediately closing them shut again due to the sunlight. It was just so damn bright. When my eyes finally adjusted to the brightness, I tried to move, but found my arm wrapped around something. Looking down, I discovered the sleeping Rain, with my arm around her waist.
The events of yesterday came flooding back, and I immediately withdrew my arm from her, and shuffled all the way over to the other end of the bed. Seconds later, she started moving, reacting just as I did to the sunlight. When her eyes had adjusted, she moved to an upright position, looking at me.
"Good morn…"
Then her entire figure froze. She finally remembered yesterday, and realized we had been sleeping in the same bed this night. There was a mix of emotions flying across her face, for embarrassment to… joy? I simply sat there like a stupid idiot, blankly staring at her. How should I react to a situation like this? But then, she did something I would never have expected. She hugged me.
Pulling me into a tight hug, she rested her head on my shoulder. We sat like that for a while, embracing each other, and it felt surprisingly good. Human contact was in short supply in this world, and I felt truly blessed to have met a companion like this girl.
"Thank you, Jason. All those nights I spent alone before I met you, I could barely sleep. I was so afraid. But tonight, with you, I felt safe. For the first time in forever. So thank you"
I simply nodded my head, with only one thought racing through my mind.
Hide the boner.
A/N: What a beautiful way to end a chapter! To be honest with you, I really liked this chapter. The romance is just on point, and it felt good to write some fluff. Next chapter is where sh*t hits the fan, so be prepared for that one. Other than that, please leave a review, it means the world to me! And I am still accepting characters, so keep em coming!
So I hope you enjoyed my fluffy writing, this is rated T, so I cant exactly go too far with it, but still xD. And I will see you guys in chapter 5. Peace out.
