Chapter Text
It had been a few years since Garrett and Steve had returned from the overworld and they were running the most successful arcade so in the whole state. But there was always something... missing?
They never spoke of it of course, but sometimes Steve's eyes would linger a few seconds too long when Garrett was working out, and Garretts hands would drift ever-so-slowly over Steve's when watching a movie.
But they never spoke of it. Never addressed this odd tug in their chests when they woke up tangled together (it's more rational to share 1 big bed instead of buying 2 small beds, and it saves space said Garrett).
Eventually though, Steve got restless, spending years in a world that you can do virtually anything in had warped his mind a bit, and he missed the adventure.
Garrett could see it in his eyes whenever he looked at an ice cube or the colorful blocks in the toy store. He missed minecraft, and to be fully honest, so did he. He missed the rush and adventure, he especially missed the feeling of riding Steve as they soared through the sky.
Steve was never good about talking things through, since he was a kid he only wanted to be alone in the soothing depths of the earth. He wanted to be with Garrett but he also wanted to go back to the overworld, the world is too difficult and didn't make sense. He looked across the dinner table at Garrett in his amazing fringed pajamas, then he looked down at the non-lava chicken and sighed.
"Hey Garrett..?"
"Yeah Steve?" He replies without even stopping his chewing.
"How would you feel.... um if I... well if I went on a quick trip back to minecraft?"
Garretts head snapped up, dropping the fork.
He looked at Steve, various emotions playing across his face.
Steve immediately tried to backtrack
"Its not that i don't like it here, I just miss the villagers yknow.."
Garrett reaches across the table grabbing Steve's hand.
"Steve that's a great idea!! We can get more diamonds to improve the shop!!!"
His face lit up. Of course Garrett would be okay with it. He was perfect.
"So you'd be okay with me going?" Steve says standing up from his chair excitedly.
"Yeah of course buddy! Let me close the shop and we can go together, just in case the nether portal got opened, it's safer that way."
Steve's face lit up even more, He hasn't even thought of that but of course Garrett was right, the two of them would be so much safer! It would be AWESOME!
They threw the leftovers in the fridge and walked upstairs to the shop where they had the portal cube on display. And together they walked to the mine.
