Up next should be Emperor x Collin, then two more requests that I've gotten, so those those have requested, don't worry, I haven't forgotten.

Third person point of view-
They searched through the rain for their abducted friend, their feet being tugged by the thick mud that clawed and pulled their boots into the earth. Each step was a struggle, an exhausting effort just to lift their feet from the soil.
Mia grunted as her foot sunk into the mud, yanking it out with painstaking force. Her lime green eyes looked up to the widow trekking across the path before her, one gloved hand over his eyebrows to block the rain from the cloudburst from entering his emerald eyes. To their relief, the rainfall had lightened and had dwindled to near mere sprinkling of water droplets, but it was enough to drive the duo's nerves.
"Where do you think it took him?" The elf asked, worry in her bright lime eyes.
Grayson shook his head, eyes looking to the golden compass in hand, watching the thin red needle point north. Any usage of a map in this weather would ultimately result in the map's destruction. Beside that, a map would be of little assistance in retrieving their comrade considering that the creature who had taken him could be anywhere in the gigantic forest and beyond by now.
"I don't know, Mia, but he couldn't have gone too far. Enderman can only teleport so far."
They continued to make heir way through the thick mud. Grayson added to his previous comment, "Besides, Enderman hate being out in the rain and get hurt by it, so they are most likely underneath some trees or in a cave."
Mia swung her arms up into the air in an exaggerated gesture, red in the cheeks from frustration that often took awhile to hit her peppy self. "We are in a forest, Grayson! There are trees everywhere!"
Grayson sighed as he took a look around, as if he had forgotten that they were surrounded by forest fauna, but he already aware of the fact. It did nothing to ease his anxieties.
"Well, at least we know that the Enderman probably won't hurt him." He could not help but to allow a weak laugh to slip from behind his chapped lips to brighten the mood.
The elf rubbed her soaked arms, knowing that her friend was likely right in his assumption. Her smile lifted as she recalled the creatures humorous yet adorable affection, the hybrid wrapped in the mutants long arms as it nuzzled against him. She let out a weak laugh at the fond memories.
They decided to check the mountains after wandering the path in the forest, recalling seeing the very same Enderman that had taken Drake around that area over three months ago. It caused Grayson's chest to feel tight, knowing that it was close to his former home that had been raided and destroyed by imperial mercenaries.
"Drake!" He called out to shift his focus back to his best friend. He had hopes that Drake would hear him, but all that came back in response was the sound of water gently hitting the earth.
A few more minutes passed by of wandering, the twilight coming to pass long ago, clouds parting to reveal the dark night sky, its empyrean curve filled with thousands of scattered, glittering stars.
They continued to the mountains, energy wavering with determination to retrieve their friend retaining. With the clouds moving away and rain ceasing to come down, they were aware that their friend's captor could now move freely once the ground dried enough. This raised the question that they had been asking since their search had begun, "where are they now?"
"Mia!" Grayson called out with a hint of excitement behind his voice, pointing at the mountaintop. "Do you see that?"
The female lifted her tired eyes to settle upon what appeared to be an opening of a cave, a barely noticeable purple glow illuminating the darkness within.
"Yeah!" Her eyes lit up. "Do you think Drake is in there?"
Grayson shrugged both shoulders. "Only one way to find out."
With that exchange of words being said, the duo began to ascend up the mountain, walking up a narrow pathway that would eventually lead them to the cave.
Once directly beside the mountains opening, Grayson's ear lifted to a faint sound. His arm shot up, causing Mia to stop in her tracks, pushing herself closer to the stone of the mountain wall. The male listened closely, identifying the sound to be as a heavy, inhuman snoring. Mia's pointed ear lifted, hearing the same sound as he.
The male peered around the corner, eyes near immediately being drawn to a violet illumination that stood out against the black. As his eyes once again adjusted to the darkness of his surroundings, with the addition of the little light from the moon, stars, and this ominous purple glow, they settled onto two bodies laying on the ground.
The two vibrant colors of magenta and light blue gently lifted and fell at a steady rhythm, easily standing out in their surroundings. The amusement building up inside of him from what he saw prompted a laugh to rise up, beginning to breathe heavily to repress his giggling. He knew that he needed to remain absolutely silent.
Sitting on the ground was Drake, eyes closed in slumber. He was not alone in the darkness. Casting the faint glow beside his head that blanketed his body, was the mutated Enderman that sat with the hybrid's body on her lap, fast asleep, cuddling it's friend in its long arms. It took all of the former commander's willpower to not chuckle and wake the beast.
Grayson turned to Mia, telling her to stay there, to which she nodded in reply, asking if he saw Drake. The male nodded and whispered out "yeah", before slowly tiptoeing his way into the cavern. The dripping of water masked his light footsteps, a benefit in his mission.
Drake's ears twitched, his eyes fluttering open, strengthening the purple glow against the dark. His vision was quick to adjust, spotting the familiar figure with blonde hair and a tattered cape.
"Grayson?" He whispered, causing the Enderman to stir and Grayson to stop in his tracks, but it reminded in rest.
The blonde released a silent breath of relief before looking down to his tired friend. He did not say anything, but motioned his lips to let Drake know that they were going to get him out. Grayson had not noticed it in the darkness, but the hybrid's expression showed slight disapproval of the notion. He wanted to be free and to be with his friend's, but leaving this poor Enderman alone after she had grown fond of him seemed cruel.
His eyes lifted as Grayson motioned for their eleven friend to enter, her face turning red with the effort to hold back a laugh. Drake's ear lowered in annoyance, trying to repress his growl that mimicked the exact likeness of an Enderman's growl, sure to wake the one embracing him if he were to let it out.
Slowly and with silence, Grayson and Mia grabbed one of the monster's arms and gently moved it, being sure not to move fast as to awaken the fairly docile creature. It snorted and growled in it's sleep as it stirred, but remained in it's heavy slumber.
Drake stood up, stretching his neck and legs that all popped from his actions. He smiled as his friend's waved their arms for them to leave, the two turning and tiptoeing their way back the cave's exit. Drake took a step forward to follow before freezing in his tracks. His head turned to face the mutant that had fallen for him, listening as it grunted before watching it's crossed purple and magenta eyes flutter open like the wings of a butterfly.
Her eyes grew as she looked to Drake, then spotted the human and elf behind him. Her blood burned beneath her thin pink skin, eyes bursting with a bright pink glow of rage. They were trying to take him away from her! She would not allow that. She stood up on her sharp, clawed feet, towering over all three of the trio. A high pitched ring bounced off of the stone walls surrounding them, covering their now ringing ears from the screeching pain.
Drake pried his hands from his ears, turning the entirety of his body to face her. Grayson and Mia both spun around as they wondered what he was doing instead of running away, Grayson on the edge of drawing his sword.
"Drake, get away from it!"
Instead of listening to his best friend, the hybrid set up a shield with his magic, not wanting to hurt the creature nor to have his friends be injured. A layer of illuminated glass-like energy formed before Grayson as the Enderman teleported before him, swinging her sharp claws down on him. It's claws crashed into the shield as Grayson's blade slammed against the energy, no attack dealing damage to either intended target. Her claws lifted, massive jaw unhinged to release another scream.
Drake's thoughts ran rampant, not knowing what to do to settle the situation. Until...his eyes grew before he took in a deep breath, bracing himself for whatever was to come next.
His feet kicked against the stone, bolting to the empty space between his friends and beastie admirer. With his arms outstretched and sweat dripping from his pours, his heart raced and breathing grew stiff before a jolt of stinging pain spiked across his body. In the blur of the moment, all he could see were specks of red and pink claws in his chest.
Everyone's eyes grew in shock and horror just before the hybrid collapsed to his knees. The shield vanished, Grayson immediately racing to Drake's side.
"Drake! What the heck were you thinking?!"
The Mage huffed and gasped, looking down at the three massive gashes in his chest, each with a sticky red oozing into the dirty teal fabric of his shirt. Past the tears of pain and shallow breaths, his lips perked into a smile, looking up to the horrified and guilt ridden Enderman.
"I-It's okay! I'm okay!" He hissed past his teeth, white eye squeezed closed from the sting.
Grayson lowered a brow when Drake suddenly began speaking in what sounded like a different language composed of distorted vocal patterns, almost echoing as it vibrated his throat.
Drake laughed as the Enderman tilted her head, acid tears in her eyes but her guilt seemed to be a bit lifted. "Yeah, my Enderman is a bit rusty. I've only shapeshifted and learned a bit of the language once."
They all jumped as she vanished in thin air in a swarm of glowing dust-like particles, before suddenly appearing in front of Drake. With little time to react, her arms around the hybrid, picking him up and squeezing his tightly against her body as she had before his abduction, this time with her tears burning into his skin. He winced and shut his eyes tight as he left out a hiss.
Grayson lowered his blade, unsure of what to do nor what was going on, same as Mia. All they could think of was, "Please don't get kidnapped again!"
She let out a few coo's before setting Drake down, then plopping down to sit on the stone with it's long legs crossed, red from Drake's wounds now on her slender, vibrant chest. Her eyes were restored with joy and a false viridity, pupils and irises remaining pointed in opposite directions as usual, but Drake could tell that she was starting at him as she purred. Her pupils were wide ovals like a joyful feline, reflecting her happiness that her crush had forgiven her actions.
He smiled and lifted up his palm, reaching it towards her head. Her eyes closed, purring as she leaned into his touch and rubbed against his palm, causing the Mage to laugh in enthusiasm. Grayson sheathed his blade, nervousness coursing through his blood.
He scratched the back of his head. "So...do you want me to patch you up?" That was all the words his mind could seem to process at the time.
Drake looked to his painful wounds, then to Grayson with his smile, the Enderman sitting up straight but not ripping her eyes away from the brunette. "In a bit... Listen guys, while I've been here, I've been thinking." He wrapped an arm over his wounds to stop blood flow.
"... This Enderman has been all alone, I can tell, and... she needs me. She never meant to hurt anyone! She just...needs someone. I want to take her with us."
Mia suddenly spoke out near the cave entrance. "Dude, she's in love with you! Are you sure that won't be...problematic? Besides, if it starts raining we have to cross a lake, then what? She'll be hurt."
Drake's ear lowered as he thought of it. His mismatched eyes scanned his friend's before an idea sparked in his head. He asked for Grayson's cape, to which the blonde respectfully removed then handed over. Drake once again attempted to speak Enderman to ensure the mutant that it was okay, though he seemed unimpressed, and rather disappointed in his performance.
He tossed the cape around her shoulders, which were slightly taller than height, and fastened the button at her neck. Her eyes were wide with curiosity, spinning around sporadically. Drake laughed before she stopped, the hood now caught in the corner of her jagged mouth, gnawing on the the fabric. Drake lifted his hand that she once again leaned into, pulling the cloth out from her mouth with saliva now soaked in.
Drake's eyes scanned her, being sure that it would work, at least a bit. "It's not much. Only a temporary solution to dripping water after the rain. The rain will still be able to touch her legs and feet but it's what we have for now."
Their attention turned to Mia. "Well, I'm glad that you're okay at least. We were worried."
Drake assured them that he was fine, sighing before turning and walking in Mia's direction, insisting that they get a move on in their temporarily delayed journey. The human and elf both followed, turning and descending down the narrow path. Grayson called out that he would tend to Drake's wounds once they got off of the mountain, but his words became distant as Drake looked to his new companion.
As Grayson and Mia walked down, he turned back to look at his friend's with a giggle. "Race you down! Last one is a rotten egg!"
They both raced down, though remained cautious on the treacherous terrain. Drake rolled his eyes, lips still lifted in a smile that brought small dimples to his cheeks. His eyes averted to the Enderman, tilting his head quickly and sharp to motion for her to teleport them both. Her clawed hand gently rested on his shoulder, and after being engulfed and vanishing in a swarm of purple illuminated particles like snow, they had won the race by default.
