(Just a heads up- This is gonna be entirely fluff. Not part of the plot whatsoever- Maybe it is, but still- -Pleb) (If this entire chapter will be fluff, then I need to make up for that with a shit ton of angst next chapter! :DDD -Galactic)(I have an idea >:) ~Peachy)

Dream SMP / Krew

Dream was tired. He has been dealing with many things lately. These issues on the server, Lucid and Nightmare. George was understanding though. Dream was waiting for his husband to come back from putting down Aspin for her nap.

"Dreaaaaaam!" Called a British voice from the doorway.

"George!" Dream snapped out of his thoughts as soon as he heard his husband's voice.

George smiled. "Thought you forgot about me."

"How could I?" As Dream was sitting on the bed that he and George shared, George sat down next to him.

"Aspin is sleeping. So are Cally and Ginny."

"So we have a bit of alone time?" Dream said, softly.

"What do you think?" George said, jokingly. Dream gave a small wheeze.

"Tea kettle," George said, simply. Dream wheezed again.

"Colorblind idiot," Dream wheezed.

"It's not my fault! I'm colorblind!" George protested. Dream gave a loud wheeze. "Shut up before you wake the girls," George said. Dream smiled before kissing his husband on the cheek and hugging the shorter. "Clingy," George muttered.

"Like you said," Dream said, softly. "You're irresistible."

"That, I can confirm," the brunet said, boastfully, but in a good way. Dream laughed.

"Shorty," Dream said.

"Homeless Teletubby, Green Speedrunner Tea Kettle." Dream wheezed loudly at that one.

"See? You are a tea kettle!"

"But I'm not really homeless anymore now am I?"

"Then get out so you can live up to that name," George said in a joking manner. Dream laughed.

"Maybe I should," the blond teased.

"Don't really," George said. "Who'll keep Lucid and Nightmare at bay?"

"What about the girls?"

"Nah, they don't care about you."

"Now that just hurts," Dream said, pouting slightly. George laughed.

"I'm only kidding you idiot!"

As the two continued talking, the sun settled into a sunset. Soon enough, it was dark.

"We should get to bed," George said.

And the two did, cuddling. The Brit's face buried into the American's chest. The blond's chin resting upon the brunet's head. The younger's larger hands in the smaller, older's soft, fluffy, brown hair. The shorter was curled up as the taller's other hand rested on George's back. The only sounds in the silent room was the soft breathing of the two sleeping husbands.

Hermitcraft / Empires SMP

A park in a city, that appears to have nobody in it. The city is on an island above the void and the sky is dark purple. That was the afterlife Xena and Xylo were sentenced to. Collecting their thoughts together, the memories of what just happen before teleport here came crashing down in their mind, stunning them for a moment. There was a long silence before Xena spoke.

"Where are we?" Xena asked.

"I think we're dead." Xylo responded.

Xena rolled her eyes. "Yeah, no shit, genius. I asked WHERE are we. Not WHAT are we."

"Sorry," He murmured.

Xena sighed and tilted her head down. "So, we're dead, huh."

"Yeah. Why did you let me apologize to Xisuma?"

"I told you. I'm not that cold-hearted."

Xylo just stared at her. "Yes you are. So, why?"

Xena sighed again and stood up, offering her hand to help up Xylo. "Well, I guess since I'll be spending the eternity of the afterlife with you, I suppose it's better to get off my chest now."

Xylo looked confused. "Okay...?

The female Watcher took a deep breath. "I like you, Xylo. I have for quite a bit now."

"What?" Xylo said, clearly in shock. "But you literally controlled my body to make me do horrible things. To serve you. My nephews thought I was a monster!"

Xena winced. "I know, I'm sorry. This is no excuse, but I felt so pressured to please my parents. If I showed mercy to anyone they'd have my head."

"That's horrible! But, why me?"

She smiled. "Well, you're so kind and gentle. I've seen you with your little sister, trust me. I guess I wish my parents let me be more like you. On the rare occasions I set you free, I couldn't help but notice how kind and passionate you are. You were always in a good mood when I let you be."

"Wow." Xylo said, pausing. Then he smiled. "For the record, I like you too."

"Do you? I was ruthless and cruel! I used so much power for evil instead of good! Why?"

He chuckled. "Well, you're brave, and strong. When someone defies you, you're always ready to show them who's boss. I admire that."

Xylo kissed her, leaving Xena with her eyes wide open in shock.

"I-"

Xylo smiled. "Sure, you were a monster. But everyone has different motivations. And people can change. I believe in second chances, Xena. And I'm glad I do."

Xena returned the smile. She then looked towards the city. "C'mon, let's find somewhere to eat!"

"Oh my gosh, thank goodness. I'm starving!"

Xena rolled her eyes. "Typical Xylo."

"Aw c'mon!" Xylo laughed. "I couldn't even say I was starving! So how is that typical?"

"Have you forgotten I could hear it in your head all the damn time?"

"Oh yeah. Sorry."

She playfully rolled her eyes again. "Let's just go find somewhere to eat for our first date."

"Oh, so you're considering it a date?" Xylo asked. He brushed back his hair with his hand. "How do I look?"

She turned around to face him and slapped him on the back of his head.

"Ow! Xena!"

The two laughed on their way to a pizzeria. Obviously, nobody was there since they were the only ones in the city.

"I'm gonna go into the kitchen and make us some pizza." Xylo said, headed towards the kitchen.

"Uhh, yeah, no. You need supervision."

"Why?"

"Because I don't trust you not to burn the whole place down."

"Fair enough."

. . .

After eating pizza (and preventing Xylo from burning down the building), the two walked back to the park and sat down on a bench.

Xena rested her head on Xylo's shoulder. "This afterlife is gonna be terrible. But at least I'll have you. I admit- The afterlife is actually better than I thought. Although, I do wonder if anyone will join us in this afterlife. Maybe we will be alone forever."

Xylo kissed her on the top of her head. "I think we'll live with it. Nothing can be terrible with you around, right?"

"Until I start killing your nephews, some Hermits, try to kill Xelqua-"

"Alright, alright. Do you want me to let it go or not?"

"Okay, I'll stop talking about the past."

"You'd better."

"I love you, Xylo."

"I love you too, Xena."

I admit. This is my first time actually writing a full DNF scene-

Idk I kinda wanted to do this. Just a bit of Xenlo fluff. (Or is it Xyna? Xyena?) "She turned around to face him and slapped him on the back of his head." You don't know HOW tempted I was to make Xena say "I like your cut, g!" while doing that. I think Xena should start using a nickname for Xylo. Xylophone. ("Grian played himself like a xylophone set on automatic" -Pleb) "Doc monster is a savage, with technical skills and crazy vocal acrobatics." Why do I kinda like Scarian as a ship- (Kinda?? -Pleb) Ok, it's my fav Hermitcraft ship and I love it- No need to call me out-

I have an idea for angst, but I'm not sure if it's in this realm of a au. It's interesting and I want to pitch it, I just need to figure out how the in the world to get these two genius writers/idiots to be on the computers before 8 but after 2. I swear u people don't seem to sleep at night. (I mean I usually go to bed at midnight because that's how long I stay up doing homework I procrastinated on for hours so- -Galactic) (I still don't understand why you got to bed at EIGHT -Pleb)
