A/N: I'm trying to get back into writing, so I'm sorry for the shortness of the fic!! No beta we die like Zedaph.
The clinks of bottles and gentle gurgle of running water would be relaxing had it not been for the various cries and honks from the many animals dangling above the dish-like base. You stare up at them in strange fondness, pondering how he managed to sleep at night when not tucked in your arms. Squinting your eyes (many...many eyes) you scour for your golden-haired lover, trotting around the odd structure. He had called you here for some unknown reason- you had been off world recently so you secretly hoped for a relaxing, cuddly evening. The odds of which was low knowing your lover.
Turning around a bend, you peer down the long hallway lined in shiny golden trophies.
"Zed?!" You call, fangs clicking gently in thought. Did he want to come and find him or something?
"Ah! Over here!!" His voice calls from a different tunnel, and you turn to skitter in his direction.
"This place is somehow a maze!" You huff, finally seeing his familiar form.
Seemingly ignoring your dismay he throws himself towards you- not fearing being dropped due to your extra limbs. Catching him effortlessly you indulge, nuzzling into his hair and flicking sheep ears. He smells as you remember- like sunshine and grass. A satisfied hiss pulls from your lips. You truly needed and evening just holding him in your arms.
"Hi darling." Zedaph sighs, head resting on your shoulder, arms looped under one pair of your own. He's warm pressed against you, soft cardigan brushing the skin on your arms and letting your palms sink into it. His hair is curly and bouncy, catching the light and nearly reflecting it into your eyes. Soft, precious, and just as wonderful as you remember.
"Hi lovely." You respond, smile tugging your lips. You bask in each other for a long moment, before Zed seems to realize something.
"Ah-" He leans back, and you scramble to not let him fall on his ass. "I forgot! I have something to show you." Zed's eyes glitter with that familiar mischief, and earnest excitement to show me his creations. His tail wiggles, matching the curling grin. You cant help the twinge of worry- his creations had a tendency to be...explosive.
"Should I be worried?" You raise an eyebrow. His grin only sharpens. Ah, definitely then.
"It's just over here-" He shifts and you plop him to the ground, snatching your hand he guides you a little further down to an inconspicuous cubby with a bed inside. His palms are soft, with small odd scars from freak accidents, he squeezes one of your hands suddenly buzzing with energy. Thinking something less pg- you raise another eyebrow, heat crawling to your cheeks. Noticing your suspicion he giggles. "Well I wouldn't jump to conclusions." Zed releases you and steps onto the bed. "Prepare- To be amazed." He waggles his fingers as if performing magic- before stepping into a piece of tripwire- and plunging downward. Your heart leaps into your throat-
'Zedaph Withered away.' The chat pings. You almost reach forward to grab him when respawns on another tripwire and plunges into the depths- abruptly you realize he was trying to die.
'Zedaph was squished too much.' Pinged the next, you chuckled letting some tension from your shoulders- squished???
You saw him for just a moment before-
You could guess this one from the loud pop- 'Zedaph went off with a bang.'
'Zedaph was killed by magic.' Declared the next hole.
'Zedaph went up in flames.' You winces sympathetically at the painful manor.
'Zedaph was shot by arrow.'
'Zedaph was impaled.' You stifled a giggle.
'Zedaph was pricked by a pufferfish.'
Finally the last block fell from beneath him.
'Zedaph was pricked to death.'
When he respawned you gave in, reaching forwards and snatching him into you arms. As impressive as the death loop was- it was never a fun experience.
"Zed!" You scolded, "That was probably the stupidest thing you've ever created." Holding him close, you feel his heartbeat slow from the adrenaline rush. He welcomes the cuddles in a boneless slump.
"You promise?" He manages with a giggle. You cant hold back a huff of fondness. He was the stupidest smart person you've ever met. Cradling him a little tighter your protective instincts calmed a tad.
"Yes, I do. Now let's go find somewhere to cuddle thats not the death bed- alright?"
"Mmm fiiinnneee." Zed relented, leaning back to stare lovingly at you. Purple eyes hooded in tiredness and fondness. Pressing a small kiss to his button nose you not so subtly trotted from the death loopificator. "You missed." He declares smugly.
"Oh did I? My apologies." Before he can gloat at the win you lean in to steal his breath. His lips are soft and plush, so easy and tempting to sink your fangs in and claim. But this kiss was sweet- pouring in the love you two bottled up in the small time apart. You dont want to pull away- missing his touch as soon you lean back.
"I love you." He sighs, so absentmindedly it clenches your heart. His eyes flutter open, simply watching you watch him.
"I love you too." You promise, leaning to steal another sweet kiss.
You shuffle him to one side, using an extra arm to fish a bed from your inventory and plop it down. You don't even let go- crawling forwards and placing the two of you onto the sheets. You pepper his face gently with kisses. "No more death loops- okay love?"
He groans as if it was an impossible feat.
"No more death loops- this season?" He offers, puppy dog eyes glittering in hope- and guilt tripping. You sigh, pretending to think about it before chuckling.
"Fiiinnneee." You agree, in much the same tone he had you.
"Thank you lovely". He plunges back into your neck, resting against you delicately.
You cant help the rumble of appreciation that flows through you. Such a lovely, soft person trusting you wholeheartedly. Few others dared got as close- spiders weren't exactly the most popular creatures.
But this fearless little sheep loves you with his entire heart.
