Don't Report On Me

Xisuma hummed to himself as he walked through the shopping district and to the town hall. He smiled as he looked down at his reporter notebook, happy to see all the checked off boxes. A few weeks ago he had taken up the job as news reporter for the mayor campaign that was going on in the Hermitcraft server. He was glad that everyone seemed to love his reports so far (except for a few campaign managers) but that's fine, they were manageable.

Xisuma tapped his pen against his notepad as he looked at one of the unchecked boxes. He had interviewed all the candidates except for one certain creature that hadn't been around recently and it frustrated Xisuma. Like really? A reporter who had to report on the mayor campaign news, had interviewed every single candidate except for one, who was he!? How dare he miss that one lone candidate.... But X knew he shouldn't get upset over such a silly little issue. Plus, it wasn't his fault that said candidate wasn't present and hadn't been for the past couple of weeks.

"Reporting the news Mr. Suma?" Xisuma nearly jumped out of his boots when he heard that voice. He had been so lost in thought that he hasn't taken note of his surroundings. X tripped over his own feet and fell but was quickly caught by a pair of strong arms.

"Easy there Suma. Don't need our reporter getter hurt, now do we?" The voice spoke. Xisuma looked up at the Hermit who had caught him and gasped.

"Doc!?" Xisuma shouted in surprise. The Hermit still holding the admin, or Doc, chuckled at the other's reaction.

"The one and only~" Doc smirked and helped the admin to his feet. Xisuma quickly gained his footing and slipped out of Doc's hold to scold him.

"Where have you been!? You've been gone for weeks!" Xisuma shouted. The creeper hybrid shrugged.

"I told Bdubs where I was going, figured that he'd inform you but I guess not." Doc said and clicked his tongue.

"But to answer, I was helping a friend move." Xisuma tilted his head at that.

"Move? On another server? Couldn't they have done that themselves?" X asked. Doc sat his hands on his hips.

"Nine, they were moving to a new home on the main world, Minecraftia. But enough with the questions. I'm back! Back and apparently mayor!" Doc threw his arms out and smiled. Xisuma gave him a dumbfound look. Really? Doc was going to act as if leaving was nothing? Seriously!? He had been worried sick ever since he saw Doc's name pop up on his communicator, telling him that the other had left the server. X shook his head and looked down at his notepad. Right, the mayor campaign.

Xisuma looked up at Doc who was currently smirking down at him. Fine, he wanted to play that game then. He'll play his own cards and slap him with some payback for making him worry sick for nothing. The admin straightened his posture and flipped through his notebook to a new, clean page.

"Alright Mayor Doc, may I ask you some questions?"

~~~

The questions only took a few minutes, half an hour at most before they were done. As they talked, the two had walked themselves all the way over to the voting pillars.

While Xisuma was jotting down the last of his notes, Doc was looking at the voting pillars, frowning at seeing how well the others were doing compared to him. The creeper glanced back at his admin who was leaning against Doc's voting pillar. A thought came to mind which made the creeper smirk. He turned on his heels and strutted up to Xisuma.

"Hey Xisuma?" Doc asked. X hummed and looked up but his eyes widened when he felt Doc's robo hand suddenly beside his head. He looked up and locked eyes with Doc who was standing over him.

"I hope you don't mind but... All the others seem to be doing so well while little old me has no votes at all, and from what I've heard, you haven't voted yet." Doc started, leaning closer to Xisuma's face which made the admin blush.

"Do you mind giving me a hand Summy?" Doc asked with desperation in his eyes.

"I-" X started but then looked away. He shivered when he felt Doc's hot breath on his neck.

"Please Summy? For me?" Doc pleaded. Xisuma shut his eyes and shoved Doc away. Without another word, X quickly left, leaving a confused Doc in place. Doc watched as X stormed off and gave a huff of frustration.

"What's his problem?"

~~~

"What the hell is his problem!?" Doc screeched as he and Bdubs read over the current Hermiton Harold News. Doc was furious as he read over the newspaper while Bdubs whistled in surprise.

"Candidate DocM77's plan to get votes is to seduce voters into voting for him. Reporter XisumaVoid says, "He cornered me, leaving me no chance of escape as he tried to seduce me. Luckly I was able to escape. He surely doesn't have my vote." Damn Doc, the hell did you do?" Bdubs asked as he read over the news report more. Doc gave a frustrated growl before shredding his newspaper into shreds.

"I tried flirting with him, that's what! I asked him if he could help me and give me a vote. But this bullshit!? Gah!" Doc yelled in frustration. He was pissed. He came back, happy and ready to help out any hermits and flirt with X some but instead of a "welcome back" he got some fake ass news that wasn't even true.

Bdubs looked over at his friend, the two were sitting on the ledge of their split in half mansion as they talked.

"Maybe it's a sign-" Bdubs started but Doc interrupted him.

"A sign for what!? Can't a guy flirt with his crush!? Huh!? Bunch of bull crap." Doc growled and stood up.

"Whoa whoa wait! Doc hold on!" Bdubs jumped up and grabbed Doc's hand.

"What!?" Doc shouted. Turning to his friend in anger. The builder looked taken back but he quickly shook his head.

"Look, I'm sure it's all a miss understanding. Maybe Xisuma took it as a joke and thought it'd be something funny to add to the news report." Bdubs tried to reassure but Doc only frowned more at his words. He yanked the newspaper out of Bdubs' hand and shoved it into his face.

"A miss understanding you say? Then what the hell does this look like!? He's basically calling me a sex offender! An abuser!" Doc yelled in furry. Bdubs stumbled back a bit while Doc threw the paper to the floor and stomped on it. Without another word, Doc took out his rockets, opened his elytra and took off. Leaving Bdubs to stand there, alone, without any words.

~~~

Doc sighed as he watched all the mayor candidates gather at town hall. All happy and chatting with each other. Doc, instead of joining, he just watched from afar on top of Iskall's slime shop. He could care less about the whole mayor race. A few days ago he did care, he wanted to compete and have fun but after the newspaper incident, he refused to do anything mayor related to help him in his campaign. He was still pissed off and upset about it. So upset to the point where it's been a week and no one has seen him, not even his neighbor Bdubs. He'd built a shall shack on the side of a cliff a few miles away from his half mansion, a small place to hide out for while until this whole mayor business was done and over.

"Doc?" Someone asked. Doc turned towards the speaker and frowned more, noticing that it was his admin Xisuma. Doc huffed and turned away.

"The hell do you want now? Here to accuse me of something else?" Doc growled out. Xisuma sighed and walked dover to the creeper hybrid and took a seat next to him. He sat down on his knees and looked over at the town hall building.

"No one has seen you for a week. What happened?" X asked. A look of worry painted his face as he noticed Doc pull his knees up to his chest, arms wrapping around his legs as he sat his chin on his knees.

"Doesn't matter." Doc muttered.

"But it does. If it's Bdubs then I'll talk to him."

(Disconnected, might continue some day, sorry (◞‸◟).)

Dirty Valentine  •  Chapter 27

He remembered the last time he had been to the beach – almost a year ago, the previous summer, when he told a boy he’d just met that he couldn’t swim.
