the emmbu stirred, his eyes fluttering open, the moonlight of the End dimension falling onto the floor near them, lighting up the room in a cozy way. Wemmbu smiled at nothing, he felt so refreshed, what even happened?
The demon hybrid looked around the room, looking for a specific angel. Hm, no where in sight, whatever, must have went to the library or something. His hands instinctively went to his purple hair, immediately feeling the braids, right.. Eggchan braided his hair earlier.. Maybe he should ask the guy what happened.
Wemmbu sat up, bringing his feet to the side of the bed, he still felt groggy from sleep, his mind not that active due to him being in deep slumber earlier. He stood up, grabbing his golden tiara from the night stand next to him as he put it on his head, before he went to look for Egg, he put his attention to the full-body mirror that was at the corner of the room.
He looked at his appearance and decided he looked pretty damn good. Especially with how Egg braided his hair. Kudos to him, really. The braids reached his hips, the purple contrasting against the black colors of the room.
Wemmbu stretched a bit, cracking his back as he moved away from the mirror to the door, leaving his room, already forgetting about how messy the bed was.
"Egg! Where ya at?" Wemmbu called out, voice loud and his eyes searched the hallway for his dear friend Egg.
"Yo bro" Eggchan called out from the library, exactly where Wemmbu thought he was. Such a great guesser, amirite?
Wemmbu headed towards the library in Minute's End Base, honestly, where was the guy right now? They were lucky Minute let them stay in his base for a period of time. He wouldn't know what he'd do. He remembered that he thanked-- not that it was sincere or anything (tsundere spotted-- Okay ill go now bye),oh wait, hes already here infront of the library doors.
He had to admit, the library was huge, having thousands of books lined up in shelves, then he found Eggchan sitting at the middle of the room, his eye staring at the books scattered around him, his demeanor relaxed as the angel sat at the lounge, his legs crossed while he stared.
"This is not aura farming bro" Wemmbu joked, chuckling softly as the hybrid moved, going over to the angel, a smirk tugging at his lips.
Egg turned, noticing the purple blob go over to him, sitting across from him with a more laid-back expression as the seraphim watched the demon hybrid smirk, his braid casually showing itself off as the demon turned his head towards Eggchan. "Bro shut up, do you like the braids i uh- braided? Yeah, did you like the braids i braided?" Eggchan asked, looking at the braids with a proud expression, slightly cringing a bit at his stuttering just now.
The angel waited for the demon the respond, the latter humming as he thought about it, then grinning to say that he did love it, that it was expertly made, then he spoke again, saying "How did you even learn how to braid?" Wemmbu asked, resting his chin on his hand, waiting for a response from the seraphim, if he had to guess, Egg probably had some power to make super cool braids somehow
"I learnt from a book." Eggchan answered simply, smiling softly as the expression of Wemmbu turned from barely concealed joy to shock.
"Yo what. A book? For braids like these??" Wemmbu exclaimed in shock, gesturing vaguely to the braids that looked like it was braided by an expert.
"Do you not believe my expertise in braiding hair? Geez Wemm, I'm hurt, truly." Eggchan questioned, feigning hurt in the next sentense, not really being able to hide the slight smile that appeared on his face.
"Well— bro— don't even try to guilt trip me. It's not fair yo" Wemmbu pouted, jutting his lips out as he glared at Egg, sitting up with his back more straight as he crossed his arms. Dude looked like he was about to cry (nonchalantly of course.. Somehow.)
"Bro. Why are you looking at me like that, stop that yo" Egg raised an eyebrow, looking at Wemmbu with suspicion before the demon hybrid finally responded.
"Okay fine whatever," Wemmbu quickly dropped his act, streching arcross the couch nonchalantly, shotting Eggchan a glance before asking "so... What happened earlier, i lowkey forgot bruh" Wemmbu muttered, his tone while speaking with Egg was nonchalant and deep,
"Oh yeah so what happened was that uhh" Eggchan hummed, thinking about what words he can use to describe what happened earlier in detail.
A quick flashback to what happened earlier, they were relaxed, since they were in a safe area, only wearing casual clothing.
Earlier that day, they had just had breakfast, which was your typical breakfast, some cooked steak and stew with water as their drinks, not that there were really any other drinks in minecraft, it was a good breakfast and that's all the duo needed.
"Bro.. Breakfast was goated yo" Eggchan declared as he leaned against his chair, stomach full and plates finished, the angel had a pleased expression on his face, he was happy about today's meal.
"Okay bro, i think you're exaggerating a bit" Wemmbu chuckled, rolling his eyes as he stood up to clear the plates, he can't lie, the food was good and Wemmbu hasn't had this food in awhile, since recently in the past week he had to eat golden apples most of the time because of the prison break with the law, but since he was able to escape for now, he was free to eat some more sustainable food.
Wemmbu headed over to the sink with the dirty dishes and started washing, yapping with eggchan from time to time, their conversation light and heartwarming.
It was a good day so far, sure, he was just a little tense from the prison, i mean, you can't just instantly relax after weeks of being in prison, who knows? Some law men might be out there to hunt him due to him escaping, you can never be too careful.
Eggchan noticed the demon hybrid's tense body language, yes, his voice may be calm and relaxed, but his body language? It was like a book Eggchan can read at anything and Wemmbu cannot escape it.
So.. Eggchan had a plan, he knows that the hybrid has a weakness for close players in his social circle to rub at sensitive areas, such as his horns, tail, and his scalp. Now, what did Egg have in mind?
He decided to exploit those areas, specifically the scalp by— you guessed it, hair brushing and also braiding the hair. That involves a lot of contact with the scalp, with is exactly what he wanted.
Soo.. He casually brought up the idea, he wanted Wemmbu to finally relax after being hunted for months. Months of being on guard. Months of feeling unsafe even in temporary bases. He wanted to help.
"Yo." Egg started suddenly, startling the demon hybrid when he was washing the dishes, his hands soapy from the dish soap lathered to clean the dirty dishes they used for breakfast
"Hm?" Wemmbu hummed as a response, curious on what Egg had to say, his eyebrow going up even if the angel couldn't even see it as he washed the dishes with a sponge.
"Your hair is actually like— so tangled right now" Egg commented about the demon's hair, noting how it was tangled with knots and messy at the ends
Wemmbu paused, suddenly remembering his hair existed, "Oh, i lowkey forgot to brush it today" The hybrid chuckled, shrugging a bit as his reply as he admitted to not brushing it today yet, which was why his hair was tangled, it was from sleep, the guy moves alot in his sleep a lot, forming knots in the purple strands, making it messy and not really neat.
Eggchan sighed, furrowing his eyebrows as he stared at the demon's messy hair and knotted ends, very unprofessional, "Are you actually serious right now brother" he lightly scolded the bed head, not at all mad in the slightest, only a bit dissapointed at the player for his poorly maintained hair
"Oops?" Wemmbu squeaked as he shook his hands, water droplets flying everywhere as he dried his hands in the most inconvenient way possible.
Eggchan sighed once more, looking so done with Wemmbu, "Let me brush it, cmon, bro i swear, you can't even take care of your hair" he rolled his eye and grumbled lowly as he stood and went to their bedroom, the sound of the door opening was audible even from the kitchen
"Fine, fine." Wemmbu shouted as he walked over to the bedroom and shut the door, watching Eggchan get a brush and a few hairties.
"Heh. Mission success." The angel thought to himself as he sat at the bed, not being able to hide his smile much, he hoped it wasn't obvious.
Wemmbu didn't notice. Blind ahh guy, Wemmbu sat in front of Eggchan, his tangled mess of a hair in clear view, also, his hair was going to be a pain to brush, Eggchan was already dreading brushing all of those knots..
"Bro, at this point i feel like you hate your hair" Eggchan joked as he commented on the other's hair, it looked horrible honestly, how did Wemmbu not get annoyed with the knots the entire time??
"Oops" Wemmbu muttered for the second time that day, Egg can basically see the awkward smile the guy had even if he couldn't see it, this guy was as easy to read like a book.
"Ugh whatever, come closer." Egg said swiftly, watching as Wemmbu did as asked and shuffles backwards as he got closer to Egg,
Eggchan gripped the hairbrush, secretly determined to get the player to relax after months of anxiousness.
He started at the right, slowly untangling the knots there with his hands before brushing them into place.
"This is actually so sad, i feel so bad for your hair." Eggchan yapped as the other player just hummed in response.
The angel continued his ministries, in 5 minutes he can already see the demon's shoulders relax already. Hm, this was going great.
He eventually got into the rhythm, already brushing the hair with ease as he got rid of all the knots that formed at the ends, he made sure to casually rub at the scalp, hearing slight purring sounds coming from the other player before it stopped, then continued again after a few more rubbing.
He started to braid the hair, seperating the hair into three parts, then started to interlock and weave them into eachother (i don't know how to braid idk how ts works), the angel hummed to himself as he slowly made the hair turn into something beautiful and more professional and neat. Remembering the steps on the book he read months ago on how to braid.
Before he knew it it had been 30 minutes and the guy in front of him was already sleeping. Geez, was it really that easy? Wemmbu clearly needed the sleep.
He still yapped though, keeping it quiet and talking to himself mostly, he was hyperfocused on the task he was doing right now, making sure to not rush it and do it properly.
Eggchan eventually tied the end of the braid, leaving a little patch of flowing hair at the end, he stood up slowly, being quiet to not wake the demon up,
He moved Wemmbu to lay down properly on the bed, finally he finally relaxed, its been so long ever since the last time he truly felt relax.
He slowly exited the room, leaving Wemmbu to his devices as he went to the library to chill.
He went over to the shelves of books and picked a series before sitting on the couch to relax and enjoy reading.
"Soo.. That's what happened" Eggchan finally finished speaking, he swallowed his saliva, mouth dry for talking for so long
"Mm.. Kay. I can't believe you'd do that to me" Wemmbu feigned hurt, putting a hand on his chest as he collapsed onto the couch even more.
This was such a nice day.
Might aswell relax during it.
