Trepidation (A Wither x Skeleton Monster School Fanfic)

Chapter 4 - 87%

"You know what? You aren't that bad." Skeleton decides, watching television with Zombie in his living room. Zombie just laughs, draping his arm around the back of the sofa. The two had gotten a little closer over the past couple of days, and Skeleton wasn't gonna lie, it was... nice... after all the shit that happened.

"See, I told you you'd like it here. You can stay until we build you your house. Or, okay hear me out, if you join Monster School, we're getting houses free from Herobrine. The only thing is, you have to be roommates with the person that you're next to in class."

Skeleton just nodded, only half listening to whatever Zombie was saying. A house sounded good, a place to live. Skeleton really didn't have anywhere to live when he was forced to run away, choosing to live in the forest-y areas.

"I hope I'll be partnered with you." Skeleton said, looking over to Zombie, who was still watching the television.

"Hmm I don't know, I'll probably be with Pigman. I've got to introduce you to him sometime!" Skeleton wondered who that was, but if Zombie was excited talking about him, he's probably not going to be a threat. Maybe he could gain another friend?

"I need to speak with this 'Herobrine' first, though." Zombie knew this, if Skeleton wanted to join, then he'd have to confirm with Herobrine.
He could always call him, he was always available. Well, most of the time. Herobrine had his own stuff to deal with, they all knew that, but he would almost always be available when it was his students calling. It was actually pretty funny.

"So are you set on joining Monster School?"

"Mhm."

"Alright, I'll be right back."

Zombie rounded the corner into his kitchen, where he pulled out his phone and dialled Herobrine's number.

"Hey Hero!"

"What d'you want, Zombie?"

"Soooo I was thinking; you know that Skeleton that we saw? Yeah, well we've become friends!"

"You what?! You do realise that that could have gone very wrong?!"

"Well it didn't! And, I'm pretty sure that he can join Monster School!"

A sigh was heard from the other end.

"Are you sure that he's not a threat, Zombie?"

"Uhm.. I'm 87 percent sure!"

"...87 percent?? Why so specific?? Whatever. So he won't hurt anyone?"

"As long as they don't threaten him, he seems nice!"

"Alright. I don't think any of you would threaten him... maybe Wither, but that mob is so... ugh, what's the word? Straight forwards? Brutally honest? I don't know. Just, bring him in tomorrow night, I'll talk to him." A click was heard and the call was ended. Zombie had a smile on his face; a new person was joining at last.

He rummaged through his snack draw and brought out two ice creams, walking to the living room and giving one to Skeleton.

"Skel! Skel! Skel! Skel! Wake up! I gotta show you Monster School!" Skeleton groaned and stirred, before getting up. He realised that he'd fallen asleep on Zombie's sofa, and that he must've given Skeleton a blanket. His face heated up in embarrassment.

"What? School?" Zombie nodded and he rushed around, packing stuff for them both. Well, Skeleton didn't have any books or anything, but snacks were a definite yes.
