Chapter Text
sitting a top the barrel excited upon donils inspection of it, light enough not to make thw wooden barrel dent under him, donil ruffled around some leaves left has wrapper paper
carefully putting aside a written in rough, firm scratches "donil <>", the boy was far too excited he had planned this weeks in advance, covered in salt water, dressed has if soaked clothes folded onto eachother, donil winced at him, his appereance, his attitude,
it was nice, dont get the wrong idea...... it just seemed has if this, first time was different, donil jumped around over the gift, something to him small but impossible to had known besides a one off comment
ward had given donil around 45 bone blocks, donil clacked the bones togther backing away, underwhelming for ward who didint stand back, but stood up from the barrel reaching to be at eye level
all it took was the squeak of his heel, way too slow, way too slow for him and way too fast for them,
a sharp pain brushed through, nearly unnoticeable on the other end of those claws, he melted uneasy silence where a "theres no need to get handsy" wouldve fit
it didnt take him long to be back, still both glared at eachother, with a sense of incidence or implicacy, donil reached foe her again, he flinched not protectively but expectantly, that didint stop donil
sinking thier claws through the already red suit, not a sound out of him, embarrasingly squirming around the touch until donil left, not once losing thier enthusiasm
exhausting... his head felt like it would pop just has lava did, after a few minutes, he dusted off his suit and walked.
lets leave this one for later ok?
Stretching all of her joints, Ward farmed Prophet's crops again. Every time they weren't looking, he would take the wheat and feed cows to then use for materials, though something about that unsettled him deeply... after all, they could very much be people like him, yet he used their skin and ate their flesh
It's better if you dont think about it, isint it?
With a brief pause on this thought, he continued his routine. She was working on quite a number of big projects, very much proud of her community work although he saw it more as a gift to the... sparse number of its members.
The guy ran around gathering leaves, branches, bamboo for scaffolding, and fire, although she was scared of spiders for some reason.... spiders being half her size didn't feel like a good enough excuse, so he pushed forward, anything to be up top.
After spending all those days alone with barely any sleep seeing as others had their own tasks, all of a sudden he heard unfamiliar steps; the cat boy was not quiet at all, dragging those bones they always had along in one of their hands.
Excitedly they jumped to look at Ward eye to eye- "donil!! hi hello hi," bouncing up and down. Donil mimicked the movement and squealed. eventually Ward ran off to continue his projects, but Donil wandered around the built parts of the smp.
Being about done with the essential skeleton of the library, ward decided to wait for things to grow back and work on the stylisation of the tree xp spawner. Grabbing multiple pairs of shears and climbling all the way up the spawner she went ahead and moved some branches, made a walking space inside. Through the leaves she saw Donil walk by on the mountain.
"EY!!!!! DOWNPOUR LOOK UP"
"huh uh???-" they looked up "-WARDDD!!!!"
Giggling, his heart filled with glee as he screamed back, hands cupped around his mouth.
"DO YA LIKE THE VIEW UP 'ERE?"
"YES IT LOOKS AMAZING I LOVE IT!!"
He choked up a scoff, closing up the gap through his smile; she kept giving the tree shape until he fell into the ocean under it full of leaves and dust.
Gathering herself up, he attempted to dust off his suit- he was soaking from the ocean yet only shook it off, floofing up his wet hair in a attempt of remaining cool in anyway.
Walking back to the community house, he took off her jacket which was his heaviest article of clothing at that moment. Opening the door, he found Donil using the furnaces he had placed, reaching the top one perfectly which Ward still struggled to get on top of donil stared at him, just for long enough to slowly blink, he relaxed at that reaction being unable to let out anything but a grumble, putting her things away the bear from the corner of his eye watched donil go back and forth with the furnace.
it took only one deep breath before donil broke the silence they had found themselfs oddly comfortable in, "i got you the leather! and a arrow if you still want it" he... forgot she had mentioned his projects earlier
"oh ya-yeah i still want 'em" donil handed the items over one by one has if showing them off, thats silly yet, endearing
pocketing it he turned to the community houses door to leave, donil pulled him back exclaiming with a smile "ward wait- i have something more for you"
ward gulped, sending shivers down his spine-
"yeah? what is it?"
donil dug thier claws onto her arms, leaning in, ward tensed up his instinctive pulling away only made it worst snapping herself back in place,
his mind fogged up has donil pierced through the corners of his lips through her cheeks, he coulent scream has much has she wanted to only muffled whimpers could come out, inmovilized by the pain he held onto donils jacket his own claws scratching into the green frabric
dripping tears and blood all over donils face all they did was- has if finished a meal look at ward with only affection watching him agonize the exit wounds has he blarbers none sense with his voice softened and broken
and has if nothing, they left a tender kiss on wards face to then walk off joyfully, leaving her to lean over a wall and wait to respawn after he unevitably passes out from blood loss,
shaken awake with a gasp she can only sit still in that saturated pink bed unable, to leave it for another day.
