As Petals fall

Pranks in a time of Joy

"Knock Knock." came a thick accent

"Who's there?" Jimmy enquired ,knowing exactly who it was, dropping octaves.

"The police it's a raid!" the cyan-haired male voiced, running down the stairs bumping into the blonde who was running up the stairs. A chaste hug and the both descended into the under-construction house.

"I'm about to do like a uh splitter thing here."

"A divider?" Scott asks, eyebrows raised with a sceptical and -if you looked closely- amused expression.

"That's what it's called?" The blonde says, dumbfounded. Conversation continued with talks of wood preference until the cyanette brought up his mining trip.

" I got 19 diamonds." he says as he turns to make his leave, Jimmy vaults over his chest to catch his wrist. "What!" his face is contorted into a look of confusion. In his eyes though, Scott can see how happy he is, pride even threatened to litter the brown orbs with that childlike glint that always put his day onto a positive note.

"I'll take one of your hands if you want."

"No I'm fine I don't mind carrying them all."

"I insist, I INSIST." but that cheeky man had already ran in the direction of the desert. He didn't know why, but their playful banter always brought a smile to his face and quickening of a heart beat. The same went for Scott, watching him stumble over his words and the defeated face he made when he told him about a divider.

As dusk fell, Scott and Martyn swam over to him and first asked if he could gather sand before talk turned to the sabotage of the village folk. Although on a green life, the mischievous twinkle in the trio's eye said it all. After solidifying the plan, they set off. 

" Oh Joelio, Oh Joelio-"

"What are you saying-" a hint of a smile

"-Let down your hair."

Trespassing on Joel's land to see if he was there, they observed the village from a distance. "I want to get a closer look so we going to need to be quiet come with me." Scott said as he began a steady trek down the hillside. "Oh." an involuntary shiver, "This is sneaky isn't it?" Hushed whispers trying to find each other and relief when they came back together were spoken between the two. After digging through the back into the house they found the villagers. The slam of a door caused a distressed look to appear on both faces before they briskly made their escape. 

Running through the sides, next to the boarder, the pair were high on adrenaline, still quiet but finally enjoying themselves. A chant of go, go, go mixed with giggles and happy faces brought them back to the safety of the hill where they left Martyn, the bottom of it anyway. Laughing properly at their foolishness as they realised the door was a villager was quickly excused ,with the cover of night long gone, that it was safer to leave at that moment.

Safely in the company of Martyn, they explained there was about two villagers but only one had been seen. The cyanette also gave Martyn a flower, spiking jealousy in solidarity that he wasn't expecting. It was only a flower between friends, no lingered touch, blush, banter anything. Unlike when he gave Scott the poppy at the beginning, where he was so happy to receive it, where they joked about a love confession, about being married, the though brought Jimmy that feeling again, which made him think, was it a joke after all?

Finally Joel had been spotted, again the weird "Oh Joelio" was said. Apparently he had given Scar his diamond sword, this information came about from talk of taking all his things, which wasn't much. All four agreed he was attempting to buy and trade his way into alliances over dark-oak saplings. 

That was their next adventure, back through their home to the forest Jimmy refused to venture into at first, the one the cave he found his first vein of coal was the outskirts of, the one that was just visible the first time he had looked up to find a Scott. The day his whole world changed.

Plans to take the power away from Scar and Grian's apparent dominion soon found it's way into the conversation. Traversing the hill-infested landscape was tiresome in full iron gear, but finally they reached the forest.

"Scott did you tell them about they have to pay us diamonds to get all these.", "I didn't that was your job Jimmy." 

"Too late sorry mate." "

"I appreciate the effort, we love a tryer."

"Jimmy's just mad because I found diamonds and he didn't" Scott teases playfully, " Hey I haven't been mining properly yet so I need to do it." he defends but he knows the cyan-haired builder is joking. 

Unknown to Jimmy, Scott's heart picks up it's pace when he pouts or try's to fight back as, to him, it's adorable, not that that will ever reach the latter's ears, not even escape Scott's head. Truly, to Scott, anything about Jimmy makes his heart do summersaults, he doesn't know why, he hasn't started exploring possibilities like the man in question, but he knows at the right time he will figure it out.

Discussion quickly finds its way back to plans for crashing dreams of power. They agree that growing a sapling in front of them will be enough to diminish hope of might and ruling the server. 

"How do we get up here?" the slightly tired voice of Jimmy asked. The climb to where Grian and Scar were was surprisingly tedious, not only with how tall it was, but trying to get a footing. "I want that blummin' diamond sword back you lied to me." a giggle from Jimmy sent a pink tint to Scott's face, he didn't know that, or if he felt the heat, he blamed it on the dessert temperature.

"We're called Solabeansmajorlittlewood.....FANTASTICO!" Martyn introduced them, explaining they had just one spectacular magic trick, forcing the audience to turn their backs. 

Jimmy watched in awe as Scott began bone-mealing the placed saplings, the small shimmer in his eye screamed roguery.  He had seen it before, the night they snuck into the village together to find the sort after villagers, it made his head spin and paint his cheeks pink. 

"Activate!" as the others turned back towards them, their expression was one of surprise and muted horror. Delighted shouts from the four echoed as Scar and Grian began taking down and burning the tree. A plan successfully foiled.

The cyanette couldn't help but glance at a certain blonde friend, the sheer joy as he laughed sent a shiver down his spine, and finally his brain supplied the start of an answer, is he a friend?

The distressed sound of Grian's "No's" brought him back and Smajor couldn't help but smile at the mere stupidity of it all. For a time all present could forget about the consequences of death and just laugh and cry at the scene unfolding. Of course it wouldn't stay that way, but no one could care, too happy to find solace in a time of peace. 

Later that night, the sounds of Bdubs and Etho behind his house force Martyn and him to investigate, obviously Inthelittlewood couldn't help but make the creeper sound again, sending Solidarity into a frenzy before laughing it off. It took him back to the first time, where Scott had been there and laughed with him, teased him, and a small smile formed on his already laughing face, so the addition went, thankfully, unnoticed.

As light gave the flower field a glow, Scott joined the conversation. The backstory of discovery and how they came to live there. The new visitors also promised them a home if they ever needed it. Somehow living with other people other than Scott, with Scott there, didn't feel right and a small possessiveness came over him and it gave him a shock, so as he said goodbye, his mind was reeling with possibilities.

As they argued with each other, Martyn and Scott tried to explain the raid. The blonde just stood there holding in laughter at the stupidity of his friends. A sassy Scott was also a bonus and his heart erupted with adoration and he knew he wanted to see more of it. At the thought a blush rose to his cheeks, covering them in a light pink.

"Don't hit me I had nothing to do with it!"

"Wait....Bdubs just fell from a high place.."
