So, I'm finally posting one of the fics I wrote. This is a fairly new one that I wrote a couple days ago based on, once again, @idv-artists-trio 's minecraft essence. Enjoy

Characters: Beth, Vervain! Aesop Carl

Words: 728

Beth was in the kitchen of Vervain’s cabin getting dinner ready for when he eventually returned from guarding the ruins. It was quiet in the cabin, which made Beth start to think about random things. But there was one thought that popped into her head that really did make her curious, why does Vervain hardly ever smile? That question kept running around inside her head until the sound of the front door opening snapped her out of it.

“Beth? Are you there?”

Vervain’s quiet voice easily spread throughout the cabin, and then he happened to notice the smell of food and walked towards the kitchen.

“Mmm, what are you cooking? It smells wonderful, dear..”

Beth smiled softly at him before saying,

“A-Ah, I’m making stew, it’ll be ready in a little while. I don’t want it to be too hot that it accidentally makes you melt…”

“I appreciate your concern Beth, but it’s not that easy to make me melt…”

While he may not say it much, the fact that she takes so much care of him warms his frozen heart. Although he was quickly snapped out of his thoughts when he heard her soft voice say,

“I-I know.. But you’re the only person who’s ever wanted me to stay around… I’d be crushed if something were to happen to you because of me..”

“Beth…”

Vervain then gently pulled her into a hug before she said,

“S-Sorry… I.. ruined the mood, d-didn’t I…”

“No you didn’t… Come with me, the stew will be fine without us for a few minutes..”

And so he gently ushered her into the living room to sit down with him on the couch before pulling her in for a cuddle. They sat together quietly for a little bit before Beth got the courage to ask,

“Hey Vervain… W-Why don’t I ever see you smile..?”

This caught him off guard for a moment, before he quickly regained his composure and said,

“Well… There isn’t really much to smile about out here. This is a land of just snow and ice.. Not much can thrive out here..”

Beth looked a little sad at this answer.

“Not much to smile about… So I don’t make you smile then..?”

Vervain started to look panicked, but then Beth continued to speak,

“..I guess I need to try a bit harder, then~”

She then grabbed at Vervain’s sides, causing him to clasp his hand over his mouth as he tried to hold back the giggles threatening to escape because of her tickle attack.

“Does this make you smile, Vervain?”

Her question sounded genuine, and yet he still found himself blushing slightly from it.

“I’m- g-ghehe-!”

He immediately broke down into a fit of giggles once he felt her hands move closer to his stomach.

“A-Ahahaha! O-Okahahay yes I-I’m smiling I’m s-smilihihing!”

This seemed to be the answer Beth was looking for, as she stopped as soon as he said that. But what she wasn’t expecting was the confused look on Vervain’s face once she stopped.

“E-Eh..? Y-You… W-Why did you stop..?”

And now it was Beth’s turn to be confused.

“Y-You didn’t want me to..?”

This caused him to get very flustered and look away from her

“Err.. I-I.. !!!”

But the next thing he knew, he was pushed down onto the couch and wasn’t able to hold in his laugh at all. They were playing for a few minutes until Beth suddenly remembered about the food.

“A-Ah, the stew..!”

This caused them both to jump off the couch and rush into the kitchen. When they got there, they both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the stove was off. But when Beth went over to check on the stew, it was ice cold.

“A-Ah… It.. Should be safe enough for you to eat at this temperature.. E-Eh..?”

But as soon as she pulled the pot off the stove, Vervain took it out of her hands and put it back on before turning the stove back on.

“I told you that I’ll be fine, Beth.. You deserve a warm meal for once…”

Although before Beth could say anything back, he pulled down his mask and the look on his face melted her heart on the spot. He was smiling. It was a warm, soft smile, and it will be treasured by her until she is no more.
