Judelow is utterly insane, everyone on the server knows that. And if they didn’t, they’d soon learn to know better. He is a person not a single player would even dare to trust: constantly luring people into his weird traps placed all over the server, never letting anyone even get a chance to guess his next move — for god‘s sake, this guy had traps in his own base!
After Sharpness fell into one of his traps for the 10th time, the very trap Jude put in his own base to be specific, he desperately pleaded for his life. Just to end up dying anyway, of course. Some stupid dripstone hit his head, killing him instantly, a typical Judelow trick. And despite all of that, Sharpness, for some reason, begged to team up with him.
“Listen, if we actually team up — like, I think we could go far, you make the traps and I bait people into them.“, he stammered, hoping to get out of there without dying a second time. Admittedly, teaming up with the purple bunny hybrid was more like his ‘last hope’ rather than a genius masterplan. Luckily, the other thought his argument made sense… though he was still wary of him. Rightfully so. Sharpness knew Jude was a smart guy, cautious at all times; kinda difficult to trap a trapper after all.
So, now they live together. Just the two of them, in Jude’s base…which wouldn‘t be that much of a problem if each other‘s sole presence caused the other to jump.
It sure was an awkward situation to be in, going from constantly killing each other to supposedly teammates. The lack of trust had started to cause a bunch of problems for the two, which teammates kinda needed to actually succeed with their plans. If they really wanted to become as strong as they wanted to, bait and trap the other server members together, they’d have to find some way to build up trust as soon as possible.
Something about communication being the key…
But trusting each other was far from the only obstacle they had run into. Their second obstacle, which mainly affected Sharpness, was Judelow‘s insanity. Or to be more specific, Sharpness‘ underestimation of Jude‘s insanity.
Sharpness was obviously aware of Jude‘s obsession with murder and trapping and whatever. Out of everyone, he should know best, having fallen for his mischievous tricks more times than he’d like to admit.
But suddenly waking up to see that same trapper lick blood off his sword was not something he expected to witness after waking up from a nap. A purple figure with long bunny ears standing over one of their chests, tongue gliding over the blade of his sword.
“Dude, what the fuck did you just do?“, the swordmaster sat up, rubbing his eyes to make sure all the insanity surrounding him hadn‘t infested his own mind yet. Jude turned to him, causing Sharpness to squint for a second. Dear lord, those creepy pink eyes of his were glowing way brighter than usual.
The bunny hybrid just gave him a casual smile, wiping off the left-over blood off his mouth. “Oh hey, good morning. What’s wrong ?“
“Don‘t ‘what’s wrong’ me. The sword, bro. You just licked blood off it?“
“Okay?“
“What do you mean with ‘okay‘? And why did you— and what if you accidentally cut your face or tongue while doing that???“ Sharpness was in utter confusion, his mind still fuzzy from the nap. Jude only shrugged his shoulders. “That‘d make it even more fun.“
Sharpness stared at him with a blank look on his face. He wasn’t aware that his teammate was into that sort of stuff, guess you learn something new every day. Judelow looked back at him, that annoying grin still on his face. The same grin that stupid face of his would form whenever he managed to successfully lure a player into his traps, accompanied by ugly screams and laughter. Sharpness hated that grin, it was his least favourite thing to see. Mostly because of the negative associations he had with it.
Sharpness blinked again, his mind finally managing to form more than just 2 thoughts per minute. He was thinking of all the times the other had murdered him. “Wait, do you do this with everyone's blood?“, he jumped up from his bed, walking towards Jude. If this was a common occurrence for him, then he must‘ve definitely gotten a taste of his blood too, especially considering how many times he had managed to kill him.
The other still held the sword in his hand, decorated with splatters of blood. The blade wasn‘t even clean, covered in old blood, dirt and other things Sharpness couldn’t make out, making the whole thing even more disgusting. “Euww, you licked that? Can‘t you at least clean it beforehand?“, Sharpness scoffed, before being silenced by Jude‘s glare.
“If you promise to not steal the sword after, I‘d gladly let you clean it. But to answer your question, yes, I have tasted your blood before. A lot of times, actually, since you do love falling into my traps!”
That left Sharpness a bit stunned, to say the least. He was still standing in front of Jude, eyes locked on the sword. He was wondering how many times his blood had been on it, and how many times Jude must‘ve cleaned it off with his tongue like it was a treat. He felt goosebumps on his skin.
“Wait, aren‘t bunnies herbivores though?“, he suddenly asked.
“Is that seriously the only question you have on your mind right now?“
Sharpness‘ eyes focused back on Judelow. He was looking back at him with a slightly confused expression. Seems like they were both confusing each other?
Jude cleared his throat, opening his mouth to voice another question.“So… Are you just chill with this? Like, me tasting your blood and all?“
“Honestly, I‘m more irritated about this whole tongue-on-dirty-sword thing.“
“Would you prefer it if I‘d get your blood directly from the source?
“What?“
Maybe Sharpness should‘ve kept his eyes locked on that sword for a little bit longer instead of letting his guard down, ‘cause the next thing that he felt was a sharp slit from the crook of his shoulder to right above his chest. The blond jumped back, reflexively pulling a sword out of his inventory. Then, a stinging pain spread across that area. It didn‘t hurt too bad, but it most certainly pissed Sharpness off.
“What the fuck?“, he yelled, his hand instinctively reaching for the cut. Though the cut wasn’t that deep, he still felt blood on his fingers.
That bunny only snickered. “Relax, this isn‘t an attack, trap nor any sort of betrayal. Just… let me…“
Sharpness was suddenly pushed back towards the bed, his thighs landing on the soft blanket. He opened his eyes again, just to be greeted with Judelow leaning above him, hands tightly wrapped around his wrist, leaving him no place to escape.
“I thought you just said this wasn't a trap?“
Judelow let go of his left wrist. “Here, a free hand. Is that better for you, princess?“
“Ewughh, don‘t call me that.”, he hissed, squinting his eyes. “So, what are you go—“
Judelow‘s hand lifted his chin up, the action was so sudden that it made Sharpness shut up for once. They shared a good second of unnecessarily deep eye contact, before Jude leaned in closer, maybe a little bit too close. Just as Sharpness thought he was gonna get a big, messy kiss on the lips, the other‘s head turned towards the wound above his chest. Is this what people call queerbaiting? Right, blood was still dripping out of his cut. It had started to sting and he‘d most definitely prefer it if Jude would let him get some—dear god.
Now the trapper had tucked down the fabric of his clothes to reveal more of his skin, just to then place his lips on the open wound. Sharpness yelped as soon as he felt Jude’s cold lips on his skin, his body instinctively trying to push Jude away.
Unfortunately for him to no avail, instead he felt Jude’s palm stroke the side of his right arm.
“Dude, what is wrong with you!!!“, Sharpness whined, his free hand trying to push Jude’s shoulder away from him.
The other’s left ear only twitched in response, keeping a neutral expression on his face.
“Chill bro, let me just–”
Jude quickly pulled away from the “kiss” to focus on getting a hold of the blond’s hand, while his other hand searched for something behind his back. While Sharpness’ brain took its sweet time to process those two actions, Judelow fully pushed him onto the bed, his head conveniently hitting the soft cushions he had slept on earlier. Probably the “something” behind his back Jude had searched for just now.
“Oh, making sure my head would have something soft to fall on? How sweet of youaAAGHH!!!”
Sharpness was met with the sensation of the other‘s tongue gliding over his injury, following the cut, slowly moving closer and closer to the crook of his neck.
The swordmaster’s body tensed up, but for some reason, instead of pushing Jude away this time, he instead placed his hand on the other’s shoulder to hold on to.
Guess they will just be doing whatever this is now.
Then, the bunny hybrid leaned even closer, one foot still touching the floor while his other leg was kneeling right between the blond's thighs. Jude tilted his head as he slowly reached the crook of the other’s neck, tongue moving careful and precise. Despite his tense body, Sharpness had stopped showing any sort of resistance–in fact he was being awfully quiet. The trapper had already tried to get a look of his face, but it was pretty difficult to see anything from this angle. He pulled away, watching as blood continued to flow from the wound.
“Uh, you good?...”, he asked, eyes shifting back to Sharpness’ face. Pretty red. Pretty and red.
“Yeah. Just, continue.”
Now that was new.
A pretty underwhelming reaction from someone who just freaked out his liking in blood 5 minutes ago. But Jude had no complaints, Sharpness’ blood was perfectly sweet, and did definitely taste better than if he would’ve licked it off from a dirty sword. So he leaned back in, placing his lips on the side of his neck again. His tongue carefully collected all the drops of bloo– Oh, and it suddenly made sense.
Jude’s right ear twitched. The slight arch of his back nor the soft whimper Sharpness had just let out went past the bunny hybrid’s cautious nature. That guy was enjoying this. Maybe even a little too much, which was pretty surprising. The trapper had expected him to freak out and whine for a little bit longer, but this was fine too, he supposed?...
Sharpness’ neck area must’ve been a sensitive spot.
His sensitivity wasn’t something new, often twitching even when Jude would accidentally brush past his shoulders, like he was scared by his sole presence. What a scaredy-cat.
Jude would’ve loved to tease him for it, but at the moment he was way too distracted by the metallic, yet sweet taste of blood. Both of them stayed silent about each other’s enjoyment about this, it didn’t really matter anyway. Neither of them wanted to mention the intimacy of whatever this was.
Eventually, blood stopped coming out of the cut, instead it was now covered in Jude’s saliva. Maybe they should’ve given this a bit more thought, ‘cause the wound will most definitely be infected by tomorrow.
“Um.” Jude put on a concerned grin.
Sharpness’ eyes fluttered open, giving the other a drowsy stare. “...What? Why did you stop?”
“Okay, so, don’t get scared, but –”
A Potion of Healing had suddenly splashed next to his head, replacing the prior warmth of their close proximity with a cold, numbing gas. Sharpness reflexively jumped up, his body hitting Jude’s as he let out a terrified scream.
“oH–OH MY GOSH. I thought that was a potion of poison or something!!!”, he dramatically mewled. “What is wrong with you?”
Jude let out another snicker. “Relax.”, he said, his hand reaching for the now closed wound on the swordmaster’s skin, making the other flinch. “Hmm. Yeah, should be good now. Though I probably didn’t have to use a whole Potion of Healing to fix this…”
The bunny hybrid’s mouth curved into a devious grin again, pulling back to look into Sharpness’ eyes.
“And? Did you like it?”
The blond didn’t answer. He was staring back at him with a confused expression, seemingly inspecting his facial features. What’s it now? He always seemed so fascinated by Jude’s bunny features.
“I thought bunnies were herbivores.“
“...You already said that.“
“I‘m referring to your teeth this time. Why the hell are they so… spiky? What do you need that for?“
“I dunno, they are cool though, aren‘t they?“
“No, they’re unnecessarily scary–looking.”
“That’s so rude?”
“I think I felt them while you licked my wound too.”
“So?”
“It‘d probably hurt to kiss you.”
Suddenly the bickering stopped, silence falling over them. Jude’s ear twitched. Sharpness felt regret as soon as those words left his mouth.
“Do you wanna try it out?“
Of course there was no way in hell Judelow would ever pass on asking him a question like that. His grin got even wider, ears twitching in a playful manner. The swordmaster wasn’t sure whether or not he was just teasing him or if this was an actual offer.
“Well—… uh.“
Admittedly, Sharpness wasn’t bothered by the idea. Isn’t kissing your roommate an experience every man goes through anyway? A little peck on the lips can’t be that bad, and since Judelow seemed to be so good with his tongue, he must be a good kisser anyway. Is that how it works? Jude wasn’t necessarily unattractive either. Sure, he was annoying enough to piss him off the majority of the time, but at least he was well-maintained…compared to the rest of the server. Neat hair, pretty face (when he wasn’t laughing like a maniac), good looking body and cute bunny features as a bonus. What a tempting offer.
Noticing Sharpness was taken a little too long to answer, Jude leaned closer, squinting his eyes as he whispered. “Are you scared of a little scrape on the lips? Come on, it’ll be like a trust exercise. Maybe even a little bonding mome–”
“Okay, shut up, it’s a yes.”, the blond whined, finally giving in. What’s the worst thing that can happen anyway? “I wanna try it out.”
Apparently, Sharpness didn’t have to say that twice. Jude leaned closer, staring into the other’s eyes the same way he did earlier. And this time, he actually placed his lips on his mouth. It was a surprisingly careful kiss, more of a way to test the waters. Sharpness could taste his own blood on the other’s lips, which didn’t help with making this experience any less weird.
Then Jude carefully pulled away, both of them silently staring into each other’s eyes for a moment. The trapper’s eyes were brighter than usual – not bright enough to be blinding, but enough to be noticeable. Sharpness could hear his own heartbeat, trying to control his breath.
The second kiss had their lips crashing into each other. Hesitation and uncertainty were gone, instead replaced with desire. It was quicker, messier and rougher.
Jude’s hands moved to Sharpness’ waist, pulling him closer to him as the other wrapped his hands around the trapper’s neck. The blond was pushed back onto the bed, this time with Judelow fully on top of him. The trapper tilted his head, deepening the kiss, both letting out soft groans. Funnily enough, Sharpness did feel Jude’s teeth scrape his lips. It didn’t hinder their kiss though, so Sharpness didn’t really mind the faint taste of blood in his mouth—matter of fact it probably made the whole experience even more enjoyable for Jude.
The bunny hybrid moved his hands to the upper part of the swordmaster’s body, until they eventually stopped at the back of his head, ruffling his long blond hair. Sharpness shot him back a glare in response, he certainly hated it when people would mess with his hair.
Jude pulled away again, whispering a mischievous “Sorry~” into his ear before pulling him into another kiss. At this point their legs were entangled, hands all over each other’s body, stealing greedy kisses from each other. At some point they have even gotten a little taste of the other’s tongue. Both were starting to feel lightheaded, yet neither of them wanted to stop.
After a few more minutes of basically melting into each other, Jude had started to move his lips to Sharpness’ neck again. The other let out little moans, whimpering out incohesive words as Jude’s lips placed a trail of kisses on his neck. “You’re enjoying this, huh?”, the trapper teased, to which Sharpness only replied with incohesive whimpers. It was almost adorable.
The kisses slowly came to an end as their dizziness grew. Jude slowly buried his head Sharpness’ shoulder to breathe in more of his scent. He smelled like a mix out of honey and cinnamon, way better than the rest of the server. No wonder why his hair was so silky, he must’ve used the honey to…wait. Was Sharpness using his honey? Is that why he kept running out of it?
Just as Jude was about to comment on his observation, he noticed that Sharpness’ eyes were fixated on something else. Something twitching behind his back, to be specific. Oh hell no.
“Sharpness? What’s wrong?”, he asked, awkwardly forcing a smile back on his face.
Sharpness suddenly sat up. Before the trapper could react, his hand reached to his hips, then right above his butt to grab his little bunny tail. “So that’s what was twitching the whole time?”, Sharpness smirked.
Jude yelped, immediately slapping his hand away.
“Don’t touch that, weirdo!”
“What? How am I a weirdo for that?”
“Personal space dude, personal space!”
“You are literally on top of me right now!”
Now Jude’s tail was showing quick wags, his body seemingly trying to represent his annoyance. How intimidating.
“Wait, that’s kinda cute.”, Sharpness laughed, pointing at the purple tail again. “Shut up!”, the trapper scoffed, pushing the other back onto the bed. His ears were tense, gritting his teeth from embarrassment. “I’m gonna like, slice your throat open with my teeth, or whatever.”
The swordmaster only continued to laugh. “Ohhh yeah dude, I’m sure you will.”
For a moment they both glared at each other in silence. Not a lot had changed, hearts were still beating fast, faces red and the feeling of lightheadedness was still present. The only difference were the faint hickeys now appearing on Sharpness’ neck. The bunny hybrid was sure that he was gonna have to bear a few punches for this later.
Jude sighed and finally let himself fall back onto the bed, his body now laying beside Sharpness. The silence they were sharing wasn’t uncomfortable, just a little bit awkward. The trapper cleared his throat, deciding to break the silence.
“Did you enjoy the kissing?”, Jude grinned, already knowing the answer to the question.
Sharpness turned to look at him. “Yeah.”
“Wow, I didn’t expect you to be so open about it.”
“We both know you already knew the answer.”
“True.”
“Well, what about you?”
“I enjoyed it too.”, the bunny hybrid agreed, trying his best to sound non-chalant. He cleared his throat again before continuing. “We should–.. I wouldn't mind if we’d try out kissing more often.”
Sharpness snickered. “You can just ask for it like a normal person, you know? Otherwise I’ll just make you beg for it.”
“Ew, why are you like this?”
They both erupted to weak laughters, throats still feeling dry from all the kissing. Then, Sharpness spoke up again. “Jude, you better give me your sword later, okay?”
“What– why?...”
“I want to clean it. I don't want to kiss somebody who frequently puts their mouth on a dirty blade.”
Jude paused, staring at him with a dumbfounded expression, before starting to cackle. “What??”, he put his hand on his forehead. “Dude, sure I guess.” Sharpness let out a satisfied huff.
“Suddenly you’re not worried that I'll steal it?”
Jude clicked his tongue.“No, not really. As long as it means I get to kiss you again, I guess.”
