A/N Really sorry for it taking so long, school has been an issue among other things. But I got a special domething planned for you guys soon, so yeah :) Thanks to ninjamaster01 for beta-ing.

"OK, so this is the kitchen, there are two furnaces for cooking food." Grailmore's cheery voice brought CaptainSparklez back to the present. She was showing him around her old house, which Grail was giving to Sparklez. He was still amazed that Grailmore and Antvenom were being so... kind, to someone like him, a demigod. But he was no ordinary half god; he was the son of Herobrine. Herobrine's mere name made people shiver, and pray to Notch that they would never encounter such a being full of hate and cruelty.

"Sparklez, are you okay?" Antvenom asked, a little worried about his friend, who seemed to be spacing out.

"Yeah, I was just thinking about Herobrine."

"Ah." Ant's face softened, a look of sympathy entered his gaze. Antvenom understood firsthand what a cruel and messed up being Herobrine had been. "Are you enjoying the house so far? It's not too big but it is right next to mine," He said to Sparklez.

"I mean, where else could I live?" Grailmore said with a laugh. "Living close to you is only second best to living with you," She said, smiling at Antvenom. "But on a more serious note, it might take a few days of me getting my stuff out and into Ant's place. You're okay with me hanging around here packing up for the next few days, Sparky?" Grail asked as she turned to look at the Nether Prince.

"Yeah, I'm fine with that, but don't call me that."

"Okay, Sparky," Grailmore giggled and CaptainSparklez rolled his eyes behind his shades.

"Okay, so we've shown you the house. Well, I guess that's it. See you soon, Sparklez," Antvenom said, taking Grail's hand in his. Together they started walking out the front door, but then Grailmore stopped and turned around.

"Sparklez, catch!" Grail said, smiling towards him. She then threw something at him before walking out. Lightning quick reflexes allowed the Nether Prince to easily grab the small item out of the air, and then he looked at it. It was the keys to the house, that he now owned.

Ant left his house, face glowing with happiness. He was home, living with Grailmore, and Herobrine was defeated. What could go wrong?

After some thinking, Antvenom decided to visit his brother, Skydoesminecraft. Sky had seemed a little...off when he went to welcome his brother from the Nether. Sky lived only a few blocks away, closer to his friends and girlfriend. As he is walking up the pathway to Sky's front door, Ant hears someone behind him.

"Antvenom, you're back!" It was Cavemanfilms, one of Antvenom's closest friends.

After catching up for a bit, Ant asked, "Is Sky home?"

"Uhh, yeah, I think so. I got to go, bye Ant."

"Bye Cave."

Ant thought it was a bit strange how his friend had wanted to leave as soon as Sky's name was mentioned. Maybe it was just a coincidence, maybe not. Antvenom knocked on the door and after a minute Skydoesminecraft opened it.

"Oh it's you Ant."

"Were you expecting someone else?"

"N-no. Come in." Sky's house was just as he remembered it. Cozy, and full of budder items. But something - no, someone was missing.

"Sky, where's Dawn?" Sky didn't answer but instead walked into his living room and sat down on his couch, motioning for Ant to do the same. Ant sat down and looked at Sky, who took off his sunglasses. His eyes were a dark brown, similar to Ant's. But that was not what caught Antvenom's attention; his eyes were bloodshot and with dark circles underneath. He looked exhausted and stressed.

"Oh, my Notch, Sky! What happened?"

"I was worried about you Ant. When I was asleep or if you called to me, I could feel that you were alive. I'm used to being able to feel your presence, same with you I'm sure. But I couldn't feel you and when I could, you were dying or very close. I-I lied to Grail and told her you were alright. That's why she wasn't as worried as she should have been. But I knew, I could feel your agony when you were hurt. I thought I would never see you again, until you called me to kill those Pigmen when Sparklez was facing Herobrine." Sky's voice cracked on his next sentence, "I thought you had died!"

"Oh, Sky." Antvenom went over and embraced his brother. Sky had a lot of responsibility weighing on his shoulders. With the Sky Army and all, he handled it so well that Ant forgot sometimes that Sky was a few years younger. It almost seemed like they were twins the way Sky acted.

Carefully, tenderly, Ant reached out his mind to Sky's, feeling the turmoil in his brother and sent a feeling of calm across their bond. "I'm so sorry I put you through this, but don't you have Dawn and your friends to help you? They love you and would do whatever they could to make you feel better."

"Dawnables and I broke up."

"...Oh." That was why Sky's fiancé had been absent from his house. It all made sense now. They broke apart from the hug. "I'm sor-" Ant began.

"Stop, Ant. I know, you're sorry, but let me explain. Sometimes things don't work. I'm not mad or anything and nor is Dawn. We're still friends." But through their bond, Ant could tell that Sky was lonely; but it only made sense. After spending a long time living with someone, it could come as a shock to suddenly be alone.

Ant sighed and said, "Okay, but I'm going to stay here tonight and make dinner. I missed you too, Bro. Now go have some fun with Deadlox or Jerome and be back here in an hour."

Sky walked into his kitchen some time later, laughing as he yelled back to his friends.

"Later, Fluffy, bye, Fish!"

As he started closing the door, an indignant voice could be heard saying, "I'm a freakin' amphibian!" Sky snorted with laughter and went into his kitchen. He took a deep breath, content after weeks of stress and unhappiness. Suddenly, he stopped, and sniffed the air. Sky looked at Antvenom, who was putting some blue seafood on bread.

"Is that-" Sky started, and together, they said the name of Sky's favorite food:

"Squid sandwiches."

A/N Poor Sky, good thing he's pretty much back to normal now. Pretty much...hope y'alls enjoyed!
