TW // brief mention of blood

Bad and the other two sat there in a heap until they each got their breath back and recovered as much as they could.

Bad saw George glance down and stumble backwards. "Uh actually- you know- I think I'd rather dig back- yeah." He fumbled for his pickaxe and started spam-breaking the Netherrack. Once he was ten blocks back from the ledge, he leaned his hands on his knees and panted. "Whew. Okay. That's better- that's better. Oh my god my stomach."

Bad looked at him, perplexed. Sapnap rolled his eyes. "We don't have time for this, George. I can't believe you just almost died to hoglins and you're still more scared of heights."

"Oh," Bad realized. "Are you okay, George?" He took a couple steps toward him.

"Uh my head's kind of weird but I'm fine- I'm fine-" he flopped a hand at Bad. "Just don't want to fall in lava and die, you know how it is."

"Yeah I totally get that." Bad put a hand on his arm. "But we do need to go down, okay? Do you want me to hold your hand?"

George shrugged him off nervously. "Uh no thanks. I'd like to just stay here a few minutes, if that's good." He smiled widely and giggled. "Yeah. AaaaHAA? Sapnap what are you doing?"

Sapnap had approached threateningly. "George, you are either going to walk out and down with us or I am knocking you out and carrying you."

"What?" George squeaked, backing against the wall. "You can't knock people out in Minecraft, Sapnap, don't be ridiculous."

"Well a6d got knocked out by the golem," Bad said slowly. "But Sapnap please-"

"Yeah so unless you wanna be a sack of flour get your ass back out on that ledge," Sapnap growled.

George paled, but he shook his head and started digging faster into the cliff.
Sapnap snarled "George!" and followed him, but George put Netherrack to block him.

Bad sighed. These muffinheads. Manhunts all over again.

"Leave me alone!" George screamed. "You'll make me blind or something! Just leave me alone a second!"
"Get back out here you little pussy!" Sapnap angrily dug toward his voice.

Bad got out his pick and hit Sapnap on the shoulder. "Stop scaring him, you muffinhead. Oh my goodness. You sit. I'll get him. George?"
They heard mining and then it stopped. Sapnap huffed.
Bad dug one block towards it. "George? It's okay, we're not gonna hurt you, you're fine."
He looked pointedly at Sapnap, who rolled his eyes. "I won't hurt you, just come back," he grumbled.

Bad dug another three blocks in the wall and found George in a corner, very terrified.
He offered him a hand. "It's okay, George. Come on."

George tentatively took his hand and stepped forward. Bad stole his pickaxe in a flash and Sapnap picked George up by the waist. "AH WOT- SAPNAP LEMME DOWN! BAD!! BAD NO-" George reached for him as Sapnap carried him back to the ledge- "YOU TRICKED ME!!!" He saw the drop and screeched, kicking and thrashing frantically "NO SAPNAP SAP-NAP ACTUALLY LET ME DOWN RIGHT NOW SERIOUSLY!!!"

Bad walled the hole up with cobble. "Sorry George. It's done with love."

"AAAA!" George struggled more- "NO NO STOP STOHP!"

"So much love." Sapnap put him down against the wall and George shrank back, trying to break through it. "Nononono-"

"GEORGE!" Sapnap yelled at him. "Get your shit together. I didn't almost die so you could whimper on this wall for the next goddamn year."
