Jordan's POV

Once I was calm again was when I actually took the time to look around at my surroundings. Completely confused as to where I was. 

It was a cozy home, a set of stairs that led to the second floor. A couch and a love seat with a fire place as well as a coffee table made up the living room. The doorway to my right opened up to a decent sized kitchen with only a small table sporting two chairs. 

Despite never being here, the home was somehow familiar to me. I reached my hand over towards the fireplace and with a flick of my wrist, I brought a flame to life to bring the chill off the place before I went to explore more.

I stood at the base of the stairs, not feeling the presence of anyone besides from me and distant mobs. With the all clear, I headed upstairs, grateful to have my attention on something else for the time being.

At the top of the stairs I walked towards my right and into a spacious bedroom with a kings bed, topped with a blue comforter. 

"Never imagined you'd be here to be honest with you" I could've jumped out of my skin upon hearing my dad's voice from behind me.

"What? Where are we?" I asked, looking into my dad's white eyes. He smiled walking into the room and sighing softly.

"This was Steve's house before we moved to Spawn city" My eyes lit up as I looked around the room in awe.

"Pa built this house?" Dad gave a nod of his head, pulling me into a hug.

"You were born in this room...Notch delivered you and it was the second greatest day of my life, seeing you being brought into the world.." I smiled softly before hugging him back.

"Now, care to explain why you're here?" Dad asked me, pulling back and crossing his arms.

"Ant showed up and-" I swear if he had pupils he would've rolled them.

"Listen, if you want me to be able to help you fully. You need to actually claim the kid" He went and placed a hand on my shoulder before we teleported just outside the door to Adam's house.

"Now I want you to get back in there, and if you say you like him as much as you do, then I want you to work things out" I gaped at him.

"I literally can't! I don't want to fully claim him, it's bad already...and how am I supposed to be able to calmly look him into his adorable brown eyes and tell him he has nothing to be afraid of when I lost my mind after he was badmouthing Aaron!" I quietly ranted.

"He badmouthed Aaron? Look," Dad shook his head sighing at me. "How can either of you move forward if you're stuck in one place? The both of you need to sit down and talk, find out why he's afraid of you, surely it wasn't an instant thing was it?" He pressed on. I gave myself the regular blue eyes just so I could roll them to which I received a flick to the head at.

"I'm only trying to help Jordan, this is what you have to do alright, so just face him. Unless there's something else you did?" He rose an eyebrow at me, making me look away as a soft blush took over me.

"How do you always know these things..?" I quietly asked.

"You're my son, I do some rash things when I'm mad too. For instance, I told you father I loved him when I was arguing with Notch" My blush only increased as I kicked my foot.

"What?" 

"...I told Ant I loved him and teleported away when I was yelling at him.." His abrupt laughter made me glare at him, getting rid of the pupils while I watched him double over.

"That's my boy!" Of course he'd say that. I only sighed the both of us freezing as the door opened and both Aaron and Ant stood there. Aaron being the one to open the door while Ant was behind him looking wide eyed at my dad and I.

"Hello Uncle Hero! Jordan, Taylor has apologized to me and wishes to talk to you" He beamed out, smiling widely at us.

"U-Um..." I only blushed heavily, calling back my blue eyes and looking at Ant who shuffled but jumped when I was pushed forward by my dad.

"Go on, remember what I said...If you don't talk at least, I'll limit the both of you to the Nether fortress for a week" I shut my eyes with a groan turning towards him.

"Dad you're scaring him...And you know that I hate the Nether fortress!, it's complicated and I always get lost in there!" I only pouted as he ruffled up my hair with a chuckle.

"First off, I love scaring people, it's all I do on Halloween which Steve hates, don't tell him I still do it. Second I know, that's exactly why I'll put you there. Now I gotta go, I've got a date with a fine piece of ass who goes by Steve" I gagged just as he teleported. When the door closed I couldn't help but shiver upon feeling his warmth from behind me.

Just feeling him behind me was enough to bring tears to my eyes, I blocked his thoughts out of my head and held myself to get rid of the urge to just turn around and hug him, apologizing to him over and over. Yet, I shouldn't be the one to say I'm sorry. I knew as much but I should've been calmer, I shouldn't have lost it like that, I shouldn-

"I'm sorry Jordan..." That was more than enough to bring me to my knees as sobs escaped me, that and feeling him hug me from behind.

"I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions...I'm sorry I made assumptions about your dad...I'm sorry I'm afraid of you" Ant hugged me tighter when I started shaking.

"Ant..." I shook my head, shivering when he let me go and walked in front of me. Kneeling to my level and hugging me again. Another fresh set of tears rushed forward as I practically threw myself onto him crying onto his shoulder.

"I know I have nothing to be afraid of...cause you're right...why would you hurt me? But...I'm afraid Jordan," He pulled away from me, tears in his eyes and I shook my head.

"Taylor.. No...No..Please don't be...I'm sorry I snapped..I'm so sorry, I never wanted to do that to you I-" 

"I'm so deathly afraid Jordan..." More tears sprung free as I held onto his arms, shaking my head at that.

"Taylor please..." He only sighed, hugging me once more.

"I'm so afraid that I'd continue hurting you...I'm so afraid that you'll lose feelings for me..." Ant pulled away, kissing my cheek.

"I won't...! I can't...Ant I-I did something to you...I partially claimed you...I still don't understand what that means...but I can't get you out of my head, you're all I think about...I'm sorry I did it but Ant I would never hurt you!" I wanted nothing else but to keep him by my side forever. Ant only tilted his head at me.

"When you say you claimed me, what does that even mean?" He asked, taking the time to wipe my eyes.

"Hell if I know, dad's complicated and won't tell me the full thing" I laughed sadly, taking his hands into mine.

"I'm sorry Jordan..." He leaned forward placing his forehead against mine, I smiled softly closing my eyes and leaning into his touch.

"I'm sorry too Ant..." I caught the gasp in my throat when he had leaned forward and captured my lips. Joy exploded inside of me as I stood up, not breaking the contact until I picked him up and twirled him, soaking in his laughter until I kissed him again, hugging him close to my body and loving the feel of his arms around my neck.

"Hey guys I just-Oh!" The door slammed shut scaring us both at Adam who failed to surprise me.

"Jordan?" I brought my attention to Ant who looked up at me, a swift calmness washed over me bringing a small smile to my face.

"Hm..?" Came my dazed reply, nuzzling myself into his neck loving how he chuckled. 

"I'm afraid of you...B-But I want you to teach me not to!" 

Have a Happy New Year guys, lets hope we don't go into nuclear war so I can keep on writing for you guys :)
