TW: Death (yup)
I usually don’t write people cuddling and stuff, but it was fun to challenge myself :D

Mumbo’s POV
I shuddered from the cold. I fired another rocket in hope of finding any kind of shelter. When me and Iskall had begun flying it was only some light rain, but now it had turned into a full-on storm. Xisuma had sent out a message encouraging everyone to seek shelter, but it was easier said than done when the rain caused you to see less than an inch in front of you.

I was tired, wet and hungry. Iskall was probably too. If we don’t find shelter soon, who knows what could happen?

“Maybe we should fly down and look for a cave?” Iskall shouted, barely hearable thanks to the rain.

“Good idea!” I shouted back before flying down to the ground, Iskall doing the same. The rain got even more intense as we walked, and distant thunder could be heard. We started running, and soon we spotted a small cave.

The cave was only five by five blocks big, but neither of us had the energy to expand it. Suddenly I felt the urge to sneeze, and I couldn’t hold it back. My nose started running, and I started shaking from the cold.

“How are you?” Iskall asked.

“I think I’ve catched a cold,” I said while letting out another sneeze. Iskall didn’t reply, instead they tiredly crafted a campfire and placed it in the middle of the cave. I moved a bit closer to it, letting its warmth embrace me. Unfortunately it wasn’t warm enough, as I still felt the coldness dominating my body.

Suddenly I felt arms embracing my body. A slight blush spread over my face when I realized it was Iskall. The warmth from them overtook the coldness, and I hugged back. We sat like that for a while, getting more and more tired for every second that passed. Iskall started stroking my hair, and I said nothing as I quietly enjoyed it.

“Kiss me,” I said out of the blue. My eyes widened with embarrassment when I realized what I had just said. Iskall probably didn’t feel the same way, why would they like me and even if they did why would they-

My thoughts were abruptly interrupted by something warm against my lips. Iskall kissed me. I kissed back, savouring every moment of it. When they pulled away my face was burning red. Had that really just happened?

“I’ve always thought tomatoes are cute,” Iskall said with an amused voice.

“And I’ve always thought you are cute,” I answered, still trying to process what just had happened. I leaned against Iskall, letting another sneeze escape my mouth. They wrapped one of their arms around me as I slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

Iskall’s POV
Mumbo was so. damn. cute. I could’ve never in a million dreams think that he felt the same thing for me, but when he uttered those words... I can’t even describe my happiness.

I looked at what I hoped would be my future boyfriend, taking in all his beautiful features.

Suddenly my communicator buzzed. I picked it up, checking the message.

<GoodTimeWithScar Has anyone seen Grian? I’m afraid he got lost in the storm>

<BdoubleO100 Don’t worry Scar, your boyfriend is safely with me and Etho. Come pick him up, I don’t think he’s too happy watching us being all lovey-dovey>

<GoodTimeWithScar He’s not my boyfriend!!!>

I snickered as I read the messages. It’s quite obvious how Scar and Grian had feelings for each other. I casted a glance at Mumbo, noticing that he was freezing a bit despite the campfire. I decided to get him a proper bed since the storm now had stopped.

I carefully put Mumbo in comfortable position on the floor, making sure he wouldn’t wake up. I then took off into the sky, gliding over the forest in hope to find sheep.

I had just spotted a few sheep when a big part of my elytra broke. The other half started to tear down into pieces and I could no longer control myself in the sky. I was at least one hundred blocks in the sky, falling to an unavoidable death. Why didn’t I check my elytra? Why did this have to happen just now? Why did this have to happen when Mumbo showed the same feelings I had for him?

I knew there was nothing I could do, being seconds away from the ground. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes as I accepted my demise.

<Iskall85 fell from a high place>

I have fully committed to killing Iskall in every prompt now, one way or another
