White Christmas 1: A Soft Companion
White Christmas will be my series of Christmas Stories about the hermits.
This story was inspired by Luigi and Polterpup's friendship in Luigi's Mansion 2 & 3
I don't think I'll be doing the 25 Christmas stories thing but I'll be making as many Christmas stories as I can. 😊
~~~Evil Xisuma's POV~~~
On a cool autumn afternoon, everything just felt wrong to me. Why you ask? Because I'm having a freaking staring contest with some random cat!
Me and this little feline unexpectedly bumped into each other and we just stood there.... confused. We both didn't even bother to move, till a firework was launched behind me, startling the cat to jump on top of me.
"Ex, what are yo- why are you holding Jellie?" Xisuma pointed at the cat that rested on top of my head.
I immediately tried removing the cat off of my helmet but it just kept on gripping onto whatever that's a part of me. "This stupid cat won't leave me be!" I huffed, giving up on trying to remove it on my head.
"Looks like Jellie likes you." He smirked, getting Jellie off of his head. "I don't care if this cat likes me, just bring it back to it's freaking owner or something." I scoffed.
Xisuma's smile suddenly disappeared, nervously chuckling to himself. "You see.... Scar is the owner of Jellie.... But he's not active apparently." He calmly explained. Almost like he read my mind, he immediately put his hand on my face before I was even gonna snap.
"But don't you worry, I can message him. Just watch Jellie for me will ya?" He innocently asked, as Jellie already jumped towards me. "No I am not taking care of this goddam-!"
"THANK YOU EXY!!" He cheekily smirked, already flying towards the sky. Leaving me alone....with this for God's sake cat that will never let go of my suit!
"Okay cat, I'm not letting you ruin my day so behave yourself! Okay?" All Jellie did was just give me this cute but stupid face, I swear I felt my face flushed when I saw that face. I gave a deep sigh, and continued walking through the districts.
~~~Shopping District~~~
I was planning on checking this elytra course I've heard of from X but that all changed when Jellie started running through the district, in which I tried chasing her, whether I like it or not. "OI CAT!! DON'T JUST RUN AWAY FROM ME!!!"
I huffed, trying catching my breath. I slowed my running when I realized that the cat was staring at this well structured shop. She was staring at Cherry's , with this some saddened look? Honestly I couldn't tell. But telling by the owner of the shop, I immediately knew the reason why.
"Don't worry, Xisuma will get Scar back and you both will finally be together.." I knelt down a bit, getting her attention. Almost like she understood me, she purred on my arm, rubbing her soft fur on me.
I blushed a bit. Awkwardly patting her head while looking the other way. Before she even tried jumping towards the unopened shop, her paw triggered a pressure plate, letting out this terrifying hissing noise that echoed beneath us.
"Oh no"
*BOOOM!!!!!!!!*
"Haha! You lucky immortal!" This dark deepening voice said, showing off his black tattered cloak from his hiding place. But suddenly broke of out character to realize who triggered it. "Ex? Jellie?" Ren called out.
"ARE YOU AN IDIOT?!!"
I laid on the ground, hugging the cat in my arms. My suit got black sooth, but managed to survive. "YOU ARE EVEN LUCKY THAT JELLIE IS OKAY!!" I snapped, still hugging Jellie in my arms while picking myself up from the ground.
"Sorry Ex, thought I caught another victim." Ren nervously chuckled, putting his hands behind his back as a sign of guilt. I gave a glare before walking along the path, with the cat still on my arms.
"Geez" I muttered to myself, putting the cat on the ground. But instead she went back on my arms, like she didn't want to leave my arms. I gave another sigh. "Fine, I'll carry you. Only because it's easier travelling without even worrying about you running off again"
~~~~~~
Me and the cat just walked aimlessly around the district, going through the same path 3 times. Honestly I gave up checking the elytra course, I just anxiously waited for Xisuma to come back, then I can finally get rid of this cat.
"My my, I see Jellie has a new friend.
I turned around and saw newbie and his iconic red shirt. Except.... The dragon head on his head just felt... Disturbing to see.
"What the heck is with the dragon head?" I asked. Grian smirked, holding another dragon on his off hand. "No" I declined with no hesitation and no explanation. He was slightly disappointed but still let out a little chuckle before he started staring at the feline.
"Before you ask, I was forced to watch this cat before Xisuma gets Scar online." I explained, clearing all confusion before he says something stupid about me and Jellie.
"You know to pass up the time, why not play with Jellie instead?" Grian suggested, getting a fishing rod and fish from his inventory. He wrapped the string around the fish. Making it dangle around the rod.
"Try it!" He exclaimed, handing me this fish on a fishing rod. I rolled my eyes before dangling the fish near the cat's face. Her paws swiftly tried landing on the fish but was able to get it away from her. I couldn't help but giggle a bit, repeatedly doing the same thing again.
"What's the matter cat, can't get a fishy?" I teased, jumping back and forth while trying to make sure that she doesn't get the fish yet. Her eyes full of excitement and adorableness, continuesly ran circles around me while trying to catch the fish.
Grian smiled at the scene that played in front of him. "Well, I'll leave you to it!" He used up 5 fireworks, swiftly flying towards the direction towards Sahara.
~~~Elytra Course~~~
After 10 fun minutes playing with Jellie, we both rested on the wooden platform, watching all the hermits buzzing around like bees, calling close calls on people almost triggering Grimdog's traps for a good 20 minutes.
Jellie snoozed on my lap, her soft paw holding on mine. My face was flush red staring at this adorableness, unnoticeable through my helmet but was there.
"You know what Jellie? Your not bad, not bad at all." I slightly smiled, continuesly petting her soft little head. I can see why the hermits would tend to have a soft spot for Jellie, she's just a freaking adorable cat, just won't bluntly admit it.
As my legs dangled on the edge, a firework was heard behind me. "JELLIE!!" a man exclaimed.
I looked back and saw a cowboy looking hermit and Xisuma standing there. Jellie suddenly woke up and without hesitation lunged her body towards him, almost making go in tears.
"Jellie I'm sorry for leaving you like that!! Daddy won't do it again!" Scar dramatically exclaimed, cuddling the cat. Xisuma just giggled at his dramatic appearance. "See Scar? I told you she was in good hands." He smirked.
"Yeah right, at least it's over." I rolled my eyes, crossing both arms near my chest.
I looked back and saw how comfortable Jellie looked resting her head on his shoulder, seeing the feline happy to be back to her owner again. And how Scar still continued hugging the little cat, regretting ever leaving her alone.
This weird feeling I had while watching them, it hurts....
"Thanks Ex for watching her, I owe you one." He grinned, but I just shrugged it off. "Whatever" I flew towards the ground along with X, walking back through the district. Leaving the man and his cat in peace...
~~~Xisuma's POV~~~
I quietly hummed as we both walked to the nearest portal. I realized that Ex's expression looked bored, and a bit saddened. "Sorry for delaying your plans on trying the elytra minigame." I nervously grinned, patting his back.
"Yeah whatever..." He mumbled, letting out a sigh. Something formed a bit in his eyes, they were glistening a bit. He tried surpassing a small sob, walked towards the portal like nothing was bothering him, but he really was a bad liar.
"Don't lie Ex. You miss Jellie don't you?" I calmly asked. He stopped walking, standing silently in front of the portal.... He didn't say anything, which confirms my theory. "So you do miss her?" I smiled.
"Oh s-hut up." His voice broke a bit. He let out a quiet gasp once I placed my hand on his shoulder. "Don't deny it Ex. Jellie was an adorable cat." I replied, and he slightly nodded.
"I guess..." He muttered.
Suddenly a small, white speckle glided down in front of our faces, then another came, and another, and another. We both looked up, and saw the first snow in the hermitcraft server.
More snowflakes glided down from the clouds, slowly trying to blanket the whole server with snow......
~~~Bonus Chapter~~~
~~~The elytra course~~~
I came back the next day, this time with a red scarf. The server was almost covered with snow, but it didn't stop me from trying out this course.
As I was about to read the rules of this minigame, a chest stood in the middle, with my name typed on the sign. Wait.... Is someone stalking me?! I looked around again before bringing my hand towards the chest and opened it....
My eyes widened when I saw a small figure moving inside. It was a black cat with a red collar strapped around its neck. It shifted around the chest, revealing a small note hidden beneath it's paw.
Dear Evil X,
I am very aware that Christmas is weeks away but me and Jellie are too impatient to wait so consider this as an early present from me to you. Someone to keep you company, just like Jellie. Enjoy! ^°^
-Scar
P.S. Xisuma told me everything ;)
I don't know why but I started smiling like an idiot after reading that last sentence, petting the black feline's head.
~~~The End~~~
May your night
Shine like the moonlight
Ladies and gents! ;)
