Life Series one shots

[DL] Plush (Ranchers)

Ranchers Revenge (RR for short), a warden, Tango would consider it his son- or actually, their son, Jimmy and his. Its gravestone placed in front of the Ranch the next morning after its death.

Tango seems down ever since that day. He sees the grave everyday when he wakes up and looks out the Ranch's window.

He was even more saddened at the moment when he was passed the skulk catalyst, the only remains of RR, by Grian into his hands and still is.

RR, killed by fishing rods. Gosh damn fishing rods...

Jimmy does not like to see his soulmate distressed, or feeling any negative emotions in fact. Jimmy would always find Tango sat up in the bed in the middle of the night, seeming like he woke up suddenly.

"I miss em', Jimmy," Tango would mumble. "Sounds stupid to think I miss a- a hostile mob but he was my son, our son."

The blazeborn would eventually fall back asleep when Jimmy offered comfort cuddle to his soulmate.

So Jimmy wants to do something to make Tango feel better. The time is good to do it now as Tango was out doing... something, Jimmy does not know what. He has crossed out a few things off though...

Jimmy should not go down to the deep dark, best option but too risky

And... he has no more ideas.

He paces around the Ranch, mainly where the crafting bench, chests, and furnaces were located.

What can he do?

He checks the chest one more time, mumbling to himself stuff. A few things come together as he gets an idea. His eyes lit up, it could and can... be good enough.

A stick, string and, dye.

He does not remember who taught him crochet making (like he remembered anything before these Life games anyways), but he thanks that person dearly.

He sits down on the floor, takes out his axe and slowly carves one of the ends of the stick into a hook.

"Shoot," Jimmy mutters under his breath when he accidentally chops off half of the stick. He takes another and starts again, until he actually gets it this time. He silently cheers in his mind as he takes the string, dyes the chunk (which thankfully, dries quickly) and gets his finger placement correctly.

After what seems like a while, Jimmy finishes the plush, a little warden plushy. The colors is... not the most accurate and sure the proportions are... different from the actual mob but it is the thought that counts, right?

It is in good timing too cause Tango pushes open the Ranch doors, looking a bit sad as usual after that day.

"Tango!" Jimmy beamed as Tango looks at his soulmate and smiles.

Tango's eyes shift to the object Jimmy is holding. He walks closer and kneels down.

"What's this?" Tango asks, smiling as Jimmy practically shoves the plush into Tango's arms.

"A gift," Jimmy smiles back. "For you, I-"

Before Jimmy can say more, Tango hugs him, teary-eyed but not out of sadness this time, mumbling a 'thank you'. Jimmy smiles back, feeling proud in this moment.

"Your welcome," Jimmy whispers back. As they pull back, Tango immediately just starts hugging to plush.

This is definitely a success.
