Pearl doesn't mind being alone, honestly. Being alone would actually be far preferable to sharing a tiny world with a soulmate who was once a friend and who now wants nothing to do with her. Unfortunately for both of them, their shared lives make separation impossible. And it hurts.

----

Pearl told herself that being alone wasn’t so bad. It wasn’t as though she needed a partner for a simple survival world anyway. She’d done this dance a thousand times on her own. Gather supplies, get the lay of the land, knock together a survival base (a real survival base, not the cheerfully ridiculous excesses of Hermitcraft), armor up, hunker down. Easy peasy.

It wasn’t as though she were really alone anyway. She’d had Martyn to go through the hard parts with, and even if he’d buggered off she still had enough iron for four sets of gear and all kinds of interesting odds and ends from deep inside the earth and the Nether. And she had Tilly, who was more loyal than a soulmate any day and who was actually useful for protection and companionship. The little cottage she’d built on the edge of a flower meadow was cozy and pretty, while the bunker beneath it was dug deep and protected with all the simple traps she knew.

Perhaps there was a little tug of sorrow when she saw the other players working in pairs or quads, building bases together or guarding each other while caving. Maybe she had to ignore the looks of curiosity or pity or even veiled disdain for the player who’d been dumped by her partner for abandonment. None of that mattered, not when she was here to win. It just would’ve been a lot easier if  all this solitude meant she was actually alone.

PEARL’S CHAPTER OF LOVE LOSES!! (scott’s/cleo’s/martyn’s/ao3 link) REBLOGS > LIKES!! 

Pearl didn’t want to be alone.

But as she stood in slight shock, staring numbly at Tilly lying sprawled out limply in front of her, Pearl wondered if she was destined to be alone.

Her soulmate and her best friend had both abandoned her. It hadn’t even been a day when Pearl’s soulmate had somehow rejected her before they’d even spoken. She’d been trying to help, and yet somehow that had only made Scott hate her more. She didn’t want a soulmate, really, but it still hurt that no one wanted her.

At least she still had Tilly: the only creature in the world that didn’t care what Pearl did, who would follow her blindly into anything. Pearl wished her friends trusted her that much- even a little bit would be better than being hated!

“Pearl?” A voice called questioningly. She snapped her head up angrily to meet worried green eyes, internally grimacing. Of all the people to show up now, it had to be him.

“What is it?” she said brokenly. She was one wrong word away from snapping. It wasn’t like she had anything left to lose. 

Scott stood in front of her with an unsympathetic expression. Good, she didn’t have any sympathy for him, either. “What are you doing?”

“What do you think I’m doing?” Pearl snapped back. What did she have to be doing? It wasn’t like she had any sort of goal.

Scott didn’t seem to have an answer. Pearl turned her back to him, debating whether to stay or go. She wanted friends, but did she want him? She didn’t want… that. She wanted no part in the strange act called romance, the thing she didn’t understand, that had no place in her life, especially in a death game like this.

“Pearl-” Scott began unsurely. “Are you okay?”

Was she okay? Was she okay? Were any of them okay!? They were in a death game, with no way out, their friends turning against, murdering and/or marrying each other. Her companions had all chosen to leave her and no one seemed to care about her at all anymore. But yes, she was just great, thank you!

“Oh, I’m fine, Scott,” Pearl said sarcastically, not missing the way Scott’s eyebrows raised in concern as she laughed brokenly.

Scott took a deep, steadying breath before replying. “Do you need-”

“Oh, now you’re gonna ask what I need?” Pearl interrupted scathingly. “Now, that you’re seeing what you caused?”

“I didn’t cause this! You were the one that decided to abandon me to go the Nether on Day One!” Scott protested. Of course he wanted to blame her for all of this, when she hadn’t even gotten a choice in any of it!

“I was just trying to be helpful! I didn’t know what everyone else was doing!” Pearl told him (which was true, no matter how much he denied it). “And you abandoned me, too!”

Scott looked down in slight embarrassment, and then, like the words were paining him, he asked, “Do you want to try… being soulmates again?”

“I don’t want to be soulmates,” Pearl scowled. She didn’t need him, or any chosen soulmate. She could make her own life without anyone else.

But then Scott cried out her name, panicked, and she turned to him annoyedly. Before she could even speak to defend herself from whatever he was going to say, he yelled again. “PEARL, LOOK OUT!” 

Scott jumped for her, drawing his sword, but not looking to attack her. Pearl whirled to see a tall, green-ish figure behind her, which she could hear making a hissing sound as she watched it. 

The creeper flashed a blinding white and Pearl stood not reacting as several things happened all at once.

Scott shoved her behind him and threw his shield up to protect them. Pearl stumbled backwards, tripping and landing on hard dirt. And a booming noise sounded as the creeper exploded, knocking Scott back to land beside Pearl, thankfully uninjured.

The two sat gasping for several seconds before Pearl spoke. “That was close.”

“Yeah,” Scott agreed shakenly. Neither of them spoke for a few minutes, neither wanting to break the uncomfortable silence.

Footsteps came from in front of Pearl and she looked up to see Martyn standing above them, watching them curiously. “What happened to you two?”

“Creeper,” Scott said bluntly, shutting down his questioning, and Martyn didn’t press further. But from out of nowhere, Cleo brushed past him, running up to the two of them, meaning they were not in fact spared from an interrogation.

“Scott, are you okay?” Cleo asked worriedly. Pearl glanced down at the ground. Of course Scott was all Cleo cared about; never mind that Pearl was sitting right next to him, no less shaken.

“I’m alright, it was just a creeper, I’m not hurt,” Scott assured her. Yeah, sure, just don’t bother asking Pearl. She was just fine, thanks.

“Hey Pearl,” Cleo greeted (like an afterthought, like Cleo just had to deal with her being there). That was okay, though. Pearl was used to being left out, and anyways she was fine on her own. “Do you want to come back with us?”

“Come… back?” Pearl repeated disbelievingly. To.. they were… what?

“To where Scott and I live,” Cleo explained. Pearl didn’t reply for a long minute. Hadn’t they told her not to come near them? They certainly hadn’t wanted her company before. What had changed?

“You guys left me,” Pearl answered. Which wasn’t an answer to the question, but Pearl was still scrambling for words. “Now you want me back?”

Martyn frowned and turned to Cleo, exchanging an unsure glance before looking back at Pearl. But before he could speak, Scott. Scott sighed and stepped forward. “I left you because I didn’t want a soulmate. Not because I didn’t want you.” 

“But…” Pearl trailed off unsurely. She wanted a friend so badly. But she had Tilly… And did she want a soulmate? Wasn’t that what Scott had just said? “You didn’t want a soulmate? Why not?”

“We thought soulmates had to be, you know, lovers,” Cleo explained sheepishly. “Scott and I, at least.”

Pearl’s heart nearly leapt out of her chest. Was Cleo… was Cleo saying what Pearl thought she was? “You just didn’t want arranged love?”

“Exactly,” Scott agreed, staring at the ground. “I’m sorry for abandoning you, Pearl-”

“Scott!” Pearl interrupted him giddily. “I don’t want that either! Love, I mean.” She grinned and laughed happily, jumping up from where she was sitting to rush over to Cleo. If that was all that had been keeping them from wanting her, then maybe, just maybe, she could have friends! Friends who didn’t want love either!

“Pearl!” Cleo exclaimed excitedly, then steadied herself. “Does that mean you’ll join-”

“Yes!” Pearl practically yelled, barely able to contain her joy. They wanted her! “Yes!”

“Fuck love, right?!” Cleo said determinedly, raising her voice as if to scream to the very heavens that she wanted nothing to do with their games.

“Hell yeah!” Martyn cheered, punching the air in agreement with his soulbound. Pearl nodded eagerly, and Scott quickly joined them, standing up and walking over.

Pearl beamed, a warm feeling spreading in her chest. She had friends now, people like her, and Pearl was happy to say she would never be alone again.
