bacon had a shitty plan; but it was the least he could do now that he had a singular heart. hannah decided to be soo nice and kill him two more times!! it seems like hannah was feeling a bit pissed when she appeared out of nowhere when she heard about bacon ‘betraying’ kaboodle. he’s not going to blame kaboodle for thinking that, though. seeing your teammate with someone who killed you before is not a pretty sight.
he was thinking maybe living underground, but either way someone would eventually find him. it was inevitable in the lifesteal smp.
so, he spent a few days gathering materials quickly and hiding underground every once in a while. bacon planned his route, and figured he could try and find an ice spikes biome and live underneath.
gathering wood from forests wasn’t too difficult, as not many people stayed on the server for long.
it was a relief that bacon didn’t have to worry about anyone suddenly attacking him for a few days, somewhat. he knew that there were always some people still on the server, but bacon doubted that they were anywhere closer to him.
bacon knew the cold would probably be something that would affect him badly because of his recent loss of gear. but, that didn’t deter him from not traveling to the biome. the sheer cold would just be something that he’d have to get accustomed to.
he laid on a small hill, watching the sun set as the night began to clock in. the winds blew lightly. bacon sighed, calm taking over his mind.
letting everything slip off his mind, bacon just enjoyed the moment while it lasted.
moments like these are always short-lived when you least expect them to be. bushes rustled and some birds chirped. the others flew away, off into the sunset.
bacon did feel a bit weird, though.
it sounded like there was someone following him, footsteps quiet but not stealthy enough. sometimes the bushes rustled too much—but he brushed it off. bacon just wanted to relax for once.
eventually, the quiet footsteps grew closer and suddenly stopped. maybe bacon was hearing things.
however, his thoughts were interrupted (and proved VERY wrong) when a figure appeared next to him, manepear.
bacon’s thoughts go quiet for a moment. his flight or fight is turned off.
‘huh, manepear.’ bacon processed internally, until he suddenly realized. “holy shit—get the fuck away from me!” he scooted a few inches away from manepear. well, maybe actually a few feet.
one of mane’s ears fold in slightly. “hey bacon!” he cheerfully greets.
his mind begins to screams, run-run-danger-daNGER-RUN
bacon is one heartbeat away from getting a heart attack on the spot. he just stares at the player in front of him in shock, disbelief, panic, fear, and all of the above. so, he does the totally logical thing in this scenario.
interrogate? nah. get trapped in a hug!
manepear—shockingly—wrapped his arms around bacon in a tight embrace. what was this guy doing?!? “i—w-what?! get away from me—“ bacon could barely react, shock taking over his entire body.
bacon tried to push the other player away, to no avail. he was clearly stronger.
“shh..” bacon squirmed, flinching slightly. manepear seemed to loosen his grip on him, but still wasn’t enough to help bacon escape. “let go of me bro—“
mane pouts, sighing. “dude, flame’s advice fuckin’ sucks.” he muttered.
bacon,,for once, stopped struggling a bit. he lets manepear continue his chatter as his shoulders relaxed. “he told me to like, get close with you. touchy and all of that cheesy stuff. never told me how to!”
he wanted to let out a small laugh, but he just continued to listen.
mane let go of bacon. “god i suck at this..” he put his face in his hands, groaning miserably as bacon’s thoughts spiraled in confusion. “..what?” bacon asked, puzzled.
“um—i-bacon—i-“
hannahxxrose joined the game.
justkaboodle joined the game.
cooked
Meow meow meow meowwww
skedaddle lmao
“sorry, i need to go.” bacon put on his elytra.
“wait, bacon could you—“ before manepear could finish his sentence, baconnwaffles flew off into the distance, somewhere farther from spawn.
mane’s shoulders slumped. he lets out a sigh.
manepear left the game.
ii. apple cider
it’s really nice to talk to you
it’s really nice to hold your hand
and even if we’re just friends,
we could be more than that
…
“hey mane..” manepear tilted his head in confusion. “sorry for suddenly leaving yesterday.” bacon apologized sincerely, making mane’s heart flutter slightly.
“it’s fine, bacon.” he reassured the other player. baconnwaffles nodded slightly.
today was unbelievably cold. it felt like it was reaching the negatives at this point, mane thought. he looked at bacon, who was talking about how hannah killed him with a grim tone.
mane swore to enact revenge on hannah for killing his sweet boy, one day.
”yo, mane, are you alright bro?” bacon’s voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts as a hand waved in front of him.
”just zoned out, don’t worry.”
bacon raised an eyebrow in doubt. “if you say so, you seem out of it.”
mane looked at bacon’s features. everything about him was just perfect—his curls bathed in the sunlight. the sun bounced off his fair skin.
he felt a soft finger poke at his cheek, snapping mane out of his daydreaming. “bro, are you sure you’re good?”
“mm-hm. i’m just admiring the view.”
“you’re literally staring straight into my soul, dude.” bacon pointed out, raising an eyebrow again. (oh, how naive bacon was..) “and?” manepear asked, a playful undertone creeping its way.
bacon became flustered quickly, a rose blush appearing on his face. mane smiled mischievously, giggling quietly. “bro..” bacon put his hands in his face.
the winds whistled softly as they blew, leaving a chill touch on mane’s skin.
after bacon recovered from his temporary embarrassment, mane began to drag him. “dude—stop dragging me!” bacon groaned, mane latching onto his wrist as he dragged him.
“i wanna show you something, bacon.”
flowers began to gradually surround the two players as they entered a flower field. there were probably hundreds of flowers surrounding them—ranging from alliums, roses, poppies, cornflowers, daisies, dandelions, and so many more.
they were all aligned in their own flower columns, circling around.
“eerrugh..where’d you drag me..” mane let his hand free of bacon’s wrist, trailing down to the other player’s hand instead.
mane intertwined his hands with an unsuspecting bacon.
bacon looked around in awe, admiring the scenery of the area. “wow..it’s so pretty here..” he whispered, stepping forward. mane’s heart was pounding.
his hand felt so soft, so delicate.
mane’s head was spinning. there were butterflies in his stomach. he was smiling stupidly, admiring the beauty of baconnwaffles0. bacon motioned mane to follow him to a small patch of grass where he laid down.
they were far from spawn, which was even better. for once, both of them sat there, chatting about literally anything.
at some point, bacon fell asleep when a comfortable silence settled between them.
“i love you, bacon.” mane whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to the sleeping player’s cheek.
mane adjusted his position slightly before also soon falling asleep to the quiet snores of bacon.
the sun set as the two rested in the large flower field, the moonlight bathing both of them.
both of their communicators were pinged at least a thousand times, (more so from mane’s) but neither woke until the sun rose once more. mane would be the first to wake, leaving bacon at his base, pressing a kiss to his forehead, before promptly heading to his own base.
manepear would later yap about his wonderful day to an exasperated flamefrags who just shook his head.

oh, won’t you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor?
and when you get a taste,
can you tell me what’s my flavor?
…
manepear snooped around the cold caves underneath an ice whatever biome. it was pure ice and snow, though, but he could really care less. what he was currently invested in was searching for baconnwaffles0.
no particular reason, he’s just been missing bacon lately. (mane saw bacon yesterday.)
so here mane is, stalking around some random, dark caves until he finds bacon’s base, or even better, bacon himself. it’s fairly cold, even with his armor on. the cold must be harsh on bacon.
his ears twitch as bacon’s monotone voice enters his hearing.
mane becomes ecstatic as he moves closer to the source of the other player’s voice. he quietly swerves his way around some dripstone on the ground. the ground is pretty slippery because of scattered little frozen puddles.
at some point, bacon’s voice sounds like mane’s right next to him. he just needs to find the entrance sneakily to surprise (not jump) bacon.
thankfully, there was an opening that led to bacon’s base.
mane feels a rush of warm air hitting his body, and it’s relieving. he continues to quietly walk in as he hears bacon let out a sigh. “bro—hi bacon.” mane cheerfully says, as bacon snaps his head towards mane. he’s smiling when bacon looks at him in confusion and probably fear.
“dude, what are you doing here?” surprisingly, bacon’s calmer than mane expected him to be about this.
mane pouts, and he can admit, a little childishly. “i missed you, bro. where have you been?” is what mane says instead of straight up saying “i love you,” kissing bacon a few times, and then leaving.
“i literally—you saw me yesterday, mane.” bacon seemed to be flabbergasted, and honestly, it was cute.
“oh come on bro—is it so wrong to miss someone?” mane whines, stepping closer to bacon, who’s sitting on the wood, acacia floor. huh, mane thought it’d be pine instead or something. mane was just glad that he didn't scare bacon or something.
“at least knock or something before entering.." bacon muttered, shaking his head fondly.
..
mane could clearly (unfortunately) tell that bacon was still in the works of building the area. "do you need help with that?"
“no, it’s—“ bacon turned around, falling straight to the ground as mane promptly jump scared him. the lion hybrid seemed amused by bacon’s reaction. mane offered a hand, pulling the player up swiftly right into his arms. bacon barely even touched mane’s hand before he was pulled up with a strong force.
“bacon, i—“ mane’s voice was muffled.
he was lightheaded from getting jump scared and literally dragged up within the span of a few seconds.
vaguely, he could hear mane’s giggles as he held the player.
bacon felt soft lips press against his forehead as he began to process what was happening. gee, being lightheaded just sucked, didn’t it?
for a moment he was being picked up, and in the next, bacon was in his bed, falling fast asleep.
maybe, faintly, bacon might’ve just heard an ‘i love you’ as he peacefully slept.

it seems like all her friends
abruptly fell in love
and she was in the dust
darling, life was streaming past
so she learnt to lie
she learnt how to pretend
a drama in the futile
a means to an end

bacon groaned quietly as he continued to build his base in a small cave sealed shut by some placed cobblestone. he was underneath a frozen ocean instead of an ice spikes area. he was still shivering from swimming in the freezing waters, and the cold in the cave didn’t help him much.
new base?/?
Where is this 💀
why r you on one heart bacon
he took his time getting settled in the area, hanging some lanterns on the ceiling.
the enclosed space was dimly lit, chests filled a wall to the right of his bed placed at the end of the room. shulker boxes were scattered around the room, and some items were on the floor. (bacon knew his base would probably be ruined eventually anyways, but chucked the thought at the back of his head)
“so,, uh, new base. yeah, if you haven’t noticed then you might be missing a few good braincells.” bacon quickly yapped, with his usual monotone tone.
he was still flustered from what happened with mane earlier.
manepear whispers to you : hi babyy <3

…
manepear felt giddy. “flame, what if he thinks i’m weird, bro?” he worriedly asked, pacing around their pace. “or worse—he rejects me!” he continued to yap about all the possible things that could go wrong when he met up with bacon.
flame groaned loudly. “bro—just trust, you’ll know if he’s the right one for you.” the player replied, watching his team mate pace around.
“but what happens if someone kills him while i ask him? what if—“ mane was promptly cut off by flame. “—none of that ‘what if’ stuff is gonna happen, bro! you’re one of the strongest players on lifesteal, you’ll be fine, bro.” he reassured the other player, rolling his eyes as he looked through some chests.
“bro, you’ll do fine. trust me.” flame said.
mane looked at the time, skedaddling out of the base, not before shouting a “thanks bro”.
flame stored some items in the chest that he was looking through, grabbing a golden carrot to munch on. mane’s love life definitely seemed like an absolute mess.
..
“hi bacon,” mane’s heart was beating loudly. his whole body was shaking as he slid a gentle smile that masked his current thoughts spiraling in his head. the other player waved, smiling back subtly. it was getting somewhere, at least!
“hey mane, what’s up? did you need something?” bacon asked innocently.
god, did mane actually love this man in front of him. he looked majestic with flowers beneath his feet and the wind blowing his curls.
“i wanted to—yeah, bacon, i wanted to ask you something important.” he stammered.
mane already fucked it up while trying to clearly reply to bacon. he was definitely cooked. he could feel a heat creeping up on his face, and no doubt he was flushed.
“i’m listening.”
bacon was waiting, though. he couldn’t delay any further.
“bacon, will you—“
bacon stepped forward slightly, the grass crunching beneath him. mane’s heart rate spiked, beating incessantly.
the sun hit bacon’s face, casting an ethereal glow on the player and highlighted his features.
he looked beautiful.
“—will you be my boyfriend?”
..
“—will you be my boyfriend?” manepear asked, and a spiral of emotions swirled inside bacon’s heart within a few seconds. love, love, joy, fear, confusion, love. he was afraid that mane was joking, and all of this was a prank—
—but the player didn’t seem to be as he stared into bacon’s eyes longingly.
bacon stared back as the player awaited his response. the sun glared at him, and the wind hissed slightly.
he opened his mouth to reply, a yes on the tip of his tongue. but he didn’t want it to sound so bland.
“yes, of course—“
..
“yes, of course—“ and mane’s eyes lit up so fast that his entire body lit up with relief and joy. he was stuck in shock.
however, bacon fixed that by walking forward to manepear, and pressing a kiss to his lips softly.
mane leaned into the kiss, before bacon abruptly pulled back.
“i love you, baconnwaffles.”
the player smiled at him warmly. butterflies fluttered in his stomach.
“i love you too, manepear.”
