Suuuuuuuuup. Stoooooooory. Yep.
Oc(s):
Oreo
Vortex
Sunlight filter downwards in streaks, landing gently on Sky's face. His fingers twitched, as did his eyes despite being covered by sunglasses. The light was effectively blocked out with a swish of what he believed was cloth. Sky tried to pry open his eyes at the sound of murmuring around him.
"So cute-"
"I can't even fathom his reason-"
"Why does he wear glasses-"
"He's so tiny-"
Sky blinked to clear his vision, but gave up when it became apparent it wasn't going to happen. Everything hurt; his head, back, chest, arms, legs, EVERYTHING. He let out a groan as he tried to roll over, only to cry out as pain shot through every ounce of his being. The murmuring stopped as he panted from just the slightest exursion of movement. He felt a cold, thin hand gently touch his forehead, but pull back. He whined at the loss of the coolness, for he felt as if he was dying of heat.
"He's a fever." A young female voice sounded, obviously not talking to him. She must've been one of the others murmuring what they thought.
"What do we do-" A male voice cried, clearly confused.
"I-I'm not sure!" The woman replied, panic affecting her voice.
"W-water..." Sky gasped, his voice raspy. There was silence then a door opened. There was the sound of feet and someone stopping beside the bed. A snapping of fingers caught his attention. It wasn't aimed at him though.
"Everyone out. Thank you for watching him." There were mumbles followed by the sound of Endermen teleporting. There was silence, then a feeling of someone gently grabbing Sky's arms made him jump about an inch. The hands paused, but then continued and propped him up on someone's side. He moaned in pain and found the will to open his eyes. His breath caught at the sight that reached him. A young man in a plain black and purple shirt sat there, black, gray, white, and red gloves covering most of his hand, excluding fingers, black and grey jeans, and long black hair. Sharp crimson eyes stared into Sky's wide brown eyes. Sky swallowed the lump in his throat, looking at the man holding him.
"Am I... dead?" He ventured, earning a laugh in a voice like velvet, deep and resonating off his bones.
"No, luckily." The man smiled, one half of his bangs, falling in front of the right side of his face. "But you came close!" Sky felt himself get shifted more so that he was on the other's lap. He turned a bit pink at that, but it went unnoticed by the other man. A cup was pressed into his hands, shocking him.
"What-"
"Are you thirsty?" Sky looked down at the glass, seeing it was water.
"It's not... poisoned, is it?" The other shook his head, smiling in amusement. Sky managed to lift the cup, trembling until he almost dropped the cup. The strange man took the cup and held it to his lips, tilting it so that it'd be easy to down. Sky drank, feeling his throat cool in relief as the water went through his mouth and down his throat. He felt a little dribble down his chin and land on the thin shirt he wore. Once the cup was halfway gone, it was pulled away, and Sky exhaled, looking up into the other's face.
"W-Who-?"
"Call me Vortex." A pale hand wiped the water and spit from Sky's chin in a caring gesture. Vortex placed the handkerchief on a bedside table before gently manuevering Sky back into a laying position. He shushed the other when he cried out and writhed, petting Sky on the hair. Crimson eyes were staring at him in a loving manner. Vortex turned away to grab a towel that was in a bowl near the bed, giving Sky a view of his neck. Sky stared at the scars that looked as though something like an ocelot or wolf scratched or bit him. Sky watched as Vortex turned back to him, a damp towel in hand. It was placed over Sky's forehead and he found himself watching the other cautiously.
"Where-"
"Shh, you need rest. I'll explain once you reawaken." Sky watched as the other smiled and patted him on the cheek. Something was familiar about him, he knew it, but he just couldn't place it. Shrugging it off, he gave into exhaustion and closed his eyes.
"You guys haven't even seen him!?" Sparklez and Ant looked at each other then at Dawn and Deadlox. They'd come in a panic asking if the two had seen Sky.
"No. Why?" Dawn and Deadlox turned a bit pink and looked away.
"We kinda fucked up and something..." Deadlox muttered, looking away and rubbing the back of his neck. Sparklez sat on the couch next to Ant and rubbed his forehead.
"You mean you two fucked and Sky found out and he ran off?" He offered, getting a rather embarrassed nod. Before anything else could be said, the front door opened and closed and in ran the adopted son of Ant and Sparklez.
"Papa, Dad! I was looking around Sky's house and there was like, 5 Endermen just standing there. And they were just, like, staring at the house and talking." He yelled, throwing himself onto Ant.
"Oreo, why were you there?" The black haired boy blinked, thinking.
"I don't know!" Everyone stared at him, and Ant just smiled and patted his head. Dawn and Deadlox watched as Ant just picked the small minecraftian up and rested his chin on the boy's head. Dawn knelt in front of him, smiling.
"Did you see anything else, Oreo?"
"You can't just-"
"SQUIDS!" He yelled, throwing his arms out. Everything got really quiet and they all just stared. It then became a "Get your weapons and shit" thing and an expedition to Sky's house. Deadlox and Dawn were in the front, Ant in the middle, And Sparklez a bit behind due to carrying Oreo on his shoulder. When they got there, the Endermen were still there, and in the pond in the front were the squids. Oreo wriggled out of his father's grasp and hit the ground in a crouch before walking over and crouching near a squid. He took a stick and poked one.
"Hey. Hey. I need you to answer my questions. Answer them. Do it. Doitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoit." The squids stopped swimming to look at him.
"Hey. hey. Stop it. Stop poking me. STOP." The squid said, agitated. Oreo frowned and poked it again, making the adults behind him wince.
"NO. Answer my questions first."
"FINE. What?"
"Have you guys seen Sky?" The squids ignored Dawn, who made a face. "Are you ignoring my question." Oreo and the squid looked at her blankly. Ant tapped her shoulder, getting her attention.
"I think it's only going to answer Oreo's." He muttered to her. They all just sat there, waiting and listening as Oreo and the Squid conversed. He whacked it on the head when it bothered him, and it swam away.
"This is gonna take a while." Sparklez muttered, going over to get wood to make temporary shelter since they weren't going to brave the Ender horde.
Two chaps in one night, YEAHU.
Oreo, why you converse with squids?!
