💚 A Much Needed Heart-To-Heart 💜

Win-Win fanfic era ⁉️⁉️

CONTEXT BEFORE THE STORY BEGINS: In this story I'd like to think that Purple had been following Green's influencer arc too, just from the sidelines. Which means he saw everything including the prank video and Instagram posts and all. And also that xe also was trying to get him to see that things were getting a bit too much, but like the others was cast aside.

As per my headcanons Green goes by he/they in this fic, while Purple goes by he/xe

Also this story takes place after Green's insta post about how he's taking a break

Okaaayyy lets start 💯

💚💜💚💜💚💜

Isolated.

That was what Green had been feeling for the past few days. Out in the open, looking on towards the setting sun, standing atop a hill- the same hill where he filmed his Minecraft vlog video with his friends- yet it was as if he had nowhere to go.

His friends.

The very friends who'd stuck around with him for years at this point- the people who still stood by him after everything they'd went through, the truest companions he'd ever had in so, so long. And during this whole influencer debacle all they'd ever done was help him out and follow him through on that dream, even as he grew more insufferable- before he ruined it all with that prank.

These were the same friends that he'd called "fake".

Green buried their face into their knees, letting out a choked sigh.

"...Maybe I'm the fake friend."

They chuckled bitterly to themself.

...

Flap, flap, flap.

The sound of elytra wings would interrupt Green's lamenting. Looking up, they saw a very familiar figure approaching.

"Purple-?"

The person must have seen him too, as he leaned forward and started to fly down, landing with his feet skidding across the ground.

"Green...?"

"Purple-! How's it hangin'?" Green greeted their only friend still around, trying to put on the usual confident expression they always had.

"Oh, it's... doing alright, I'd say. Honestly, this is the first time in a while I've seen you without these sunglasses."

"Haha, yeah, y'know, gotta get that full view in my eyes! No obstructing this moment, right. Uh huh."

He gave Purple a quick smile for reassurance- however, xe seemed to have caught on immediately.

"...Something's up, isn't there?"

"What- what do you mean? Of course not. I'm just having some alone time, you know, we all need that..." continued Green- however, they could feel their expression wavering.

He couldn't convince Purple anyway- xe saw through the ruse.

"Green. I can tell that something's wrong," xe replied, their voice becoming serious. "What happened...?"

He couldn't pretend anymore. The only thing he could do was tell Purple the truth.

"Okay- I'll say it, alright?" they said. "I- I... screwed up."

Purple blinked. Then, xe raised an eyebrow.

"You could only tell that much now, huh?" xe asked.

"Listen, I know this realization might have come too late, alright? But I-..." Green sighed, putting his head in his hands. "I had my head too far up my ass to comprehend it. Even behind the scenes I didn't stop to think of their feelings- all I thought of was what I wanted. All I had in my mind was- the fame, the views I'd get, the followers I had. And I-" he stopped to take a breath. "I didn't- I didn't want to hear anyone else out. I thought they wanted to drag me down- that YOU did, too, but-"

Their voice tailed away. They heaved up and down. Then, they spoke again.

"-I see now that I was the ones dragging you all down with me. I've g-gone too far, and..."

Their voice began to crack.

"-it's... my fault. All of it. It's my fault that my friends are hurt, it's my fault that I'm alone, it's just- this is all my fault, okay?!"

And with that, he broke, the tears he'd convinced the public he didn't have finally spilling out of his eyes.

...

"...?"

Purple had taken a seat next to him.

"Truthfully..." he began. "...I think you should have realized you've gone too far long ago when you dropped the others into lava for a video."

"Yes- I know I should've... but I didn't. I disregarded the consequences, thought it'd be funny- well, looking back on it now, it definitely doesn't make me laugh anymore, either."

"Yeah, I'd expect so-! I TOLD you that it was a bad idea before you got yourself into this."

"And... I should have listened to you. But I didn't, and-" Green had to keep himself from letting out a sob again. "-and now look where I am. They're probably going to stay away from me- and why wouldn't they...?!"

"Wait- wait. Okay. Green, listen."

This made Green look up.

"I... get it," Purple began. "I've been there before. The feeling of screwing up hard, I mean. How I thought I'd never be forgiven. You- you were there, remember?"

Green remembered- how could he forget? Thinking back to when that chase up the hill happened- and then now... he gritted his teeth, not wanting to make eye contact.

"But... you made me see that there WAS a chance," continued Purple. "For me to make amends after everything- for me to start anew. And- I guess I'm back to reinforce that statement."

The green stick looked back at him, then.

"It doesn't HAVE to end this way, Green. It shouldn't- they're your friends! Red, Blue, Yellow, Second- all of them. You can still set things right. It's not too late... okay?"

It was as if Purple's words had struck something within him. Green simply sat there, blinking, silent.

After a bit, he wiped a tear from his eye, exhaling shakily.

"I... well, I guess you're right, Purp," he muttered after a while. "Listen, I know this is long overdue, but... I'm sorry that this all happened. I'm sorry that I brushed you aside, and I-"

"It shouldn't be me you're apologizing to, Green," Purple told them. "You should apologize to them. The others. They're probably worried that they've lost you, too! This could be your chance to make things right again. Admit where you messed things up, you know... and... tell them that you're sorry."

"You know what, you've got a point." He HAD been the one who'd put them through the wringer, after all. "But who's to say that it won't happen again? This whole YouTube business was what kickstarted this entire fiasco-"

"You don't have to stop doing that, either," Purple replied. "Of course you can continue with your social media stuff if you really want to. Just... think about the others' feelings more from here on out, alright? Be more considerate, don't disregard how they might feel, don't shove them aside and ignore them..."

Green listened, nodding along to Purple's words.

"...and obviously DON'T drop them into lava for views, either. Or anything else of the sort. I don't think that'll be forgotten."

"I don't think I'll be able to forget that, either," Green replied, shaking his head.

Then, the corners of his mouth turned up into a little smile- the first time he'd smiled during this moment.

"Hey... thanks, Purp. I needed this," he said. "A lot."

"Don't mention it- okay?" Purple replied. "And... good luck with sorting things out."

Xe gave him a smile back- before a pair of green-colored arms wrapped around him.

"Oh-!"

Xe gasped- before wrapping his own arms around Green, too.

The two of them stayed there like that for a few moments, just Green and Purple atop the hill, eyes closed, hugging each other as the sun continued to set behind them.

At that fleeting moment... everything was at peace.

...

Then, Green's arms unwrapped from Purple, as he picked himself off the ground and stood up.

"Welp, it's time," he said. "Time for me to set things right- once and for all."

"You're- you're going?" asked Purple, looking up. "A-Alright, I- guess this'll be goodbye."

"That it'll be, my good Purp." Green turned around- but not before giving Purple one more wave. "See you then?"

"See you then," Purple said. "O-Oh, and... good luck. Again. Okay?"

"Hah..." Green chuckled again. "Thanks, Purp. And- thanks again for this talk."

Both of them exchanged smiles once more, before Green turned around, walking the other way.

The way to fixing up what he'd made wrong.
