Just two boyfriends in the Minecraft world, making a castle and making a garden.
Be warned I haven't played Minecraft it a really long time so if everything seems ancient, that's why. (Haven't played since maybe 2015 when my XBox360 was taken because I didn't use it)
STORYTIME!
"Hey Logan, can you open the creative menu and get me some spruce wood saplings? I put a blue carpet over the bricks where I need those planted."
"Of course, one moment please."
On a creative server were two boyfriends building a castle and making a garden for them to share. Logan likes being able to listen to the calming music and de stress while creating something in a methodical, geometrical pattern while Roman likes being creative and making the most beautiful, extravagant things. Minecraft is a game where they both can do what they love, and excel at doing it. Right now, it's gardening time.
Logan got the spruce saplings in his inventory and started planting them. Logan would remove the carpet by breaking it, and then place the sampling to replace it. Then Logan used the bonemeal immediately after planting the saplings to the tree would grow big and strong. Then Logan would trim the leaves to make the tree more aesthetically pleasing. Also not to take up too much space. Roman smiled, continuing to plant flowers in the pattern around the fountain he built with flowing water.
Logan began setting vines on the spruce trees, surrounding each of them with violets and other taller flowers to stand out against Roman's small flower fountain. After Logan finished the task he brought his character over towards Roman's, having him sitting on the fountain and waiting for Roman to direct him. Logan doesn't need like to admit it, but he enjoys taking orders. By finishing a task he wasn't told to complete, it fills him with much satisfaction. Roman noticed Logan was done with the trees, and has done a very good job, so he gave him the next task.
"Thank you Logan, wonderful job! Could you do me a favor and fill the moat with water? Go ahead and place Lily pads and make a glowstonem obsidian, or slime floor. Your choice."
"Are you sure it wouldn't interfere with your creative vision? Are you sure you want to give me that sort of Liberty? Last time I did that you rsnted to me on why a yellow carpet in the throne room of the castle wasn't good with the lighting and the emerald "aesthetic" despite the fact yellow and green is a commonly used gradient."
"Oh yeah... that. But don't worry! All three of the choices go with the garden and I can make the bridges lined with a gemstone block to reflect the color! I want you to have some choice and parcipitstion in our project!"
The 'our' Roman used when speaking to him made Logan feel extremely happy. The real Logan sat in his room with his Xbox controller sitting at his desk in front of the monitor. He took out his esrbuds connected to the computer and sat in the silence of his room for a moment. Roman was playing on his own computer in his room. They didn't want the other sides getting any ideas, so they decided to do this and just game in then sperate rooms. Logan put the earbuds back in and pressed the button on them thst acivsted the microphone, he talked into it yet again to respond to the creative side he managed to fall in love with.
"I'm going to go with the glowstone to add some illumination. It will look more aesthetically pleasing at night. Then the bridges I wish to create with the mossy cobblestone and regular stone if you don't mind."
"Classic stone bridges? That sounds great Logan. You can never go wrong with the classics! Like a fantasy novel's castle garden! When I'm done here I shall help you!"
Logan went off to the most they dug around the back garden and the entire castle itself, using a bucket of water he stole from the creative menu and was about to start filling the moat. Silly Logan! You forgot to make a fooor of glowstone! Logan opened up the menu again and grabbed the glowstone, starting to fill the Six block under moat with a layer of glowstone to make it only five blocks under. Surely this is what Roman meant by making a floor for the moat, correct?
Logan jumped in his chair when he heard a knock on the door. He paused his game and turned off his monitor, just the monitor, and stood up. He grabbed a book and sat in his chair to pretend like he was t playing such a childish game like Minecraft. Patton entered his room with his normally happen go lucky smile, wearing a charm bracelet and a choker necklace with a little golden constellation on it. If Logan remembered correctly, it was the constellation of Capricorn. Capricorn was Patton's zodiac.
"Logan! Look at all these cute charms and stuff Virgil got me! Aren't these amazing?!"
Patton let out a Dream filled sigh and flopped on Logan's bed, holding his wrist close to his chest with a blush painted over his face. Logan cousins helo but wear a small smile. Patton always did come to him when asking, objectively, how he should approach and help Virgil since he seemed close with him in a non-platonic and non-paternal way. Logan feels almost a paternal or familial bond to Patton, like a lovesick puppy brother he needs to look out for. So Patton always comes to Logan to rant and talk about things.
"Yes, they suit you very well and bring out both your freckles and the color of your eyes."
"I know right! Has Roman given you anything yet? I know he has debated before but I'm sure he's given you at least one gift! He even has this one Saphire ring he created himself with young in mind! He engraved little brains and books into the silver and everything!"
Logan felt his face flush at hearing this. Preposterous! Roman would never have done that for him! Roman doesn't experience romantic feelings towards Logan, especially with their different views and their inability to compromise over some subjects. Logan his his cheeks in then book, pretending to ignore and keep reading. Patton sat up and rolled his eyes, seeing right through Logan.
"Oh come on Logan. It's super obvious you love him. Virgil told me how he caught Roman playing Minecraft with you and visiting eachother's Animal Crossing Town. You're both nerds! You're perfect for eachother! If you just tell Roman I'm positive he'd love you back! Here, I'll show you."
Logan was confused at what Patton was doing until Patton was at the computer, replacing Logan's earbuds with a headphone and putting sound on speaker. Logan was really confused at what Patton was doing. Patton turned on the microphone and the music of Minecraft and placing glowstone blocks filled the room.
"Hey Roman! It's Patton. Do you like Logan back?"
The placing of blocks ceased.
"Well duh, I thought that was pretty obvious with how much we've been playing games and sharing interests. Does Logan honestly think I don't love him? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard Logan think! And trust me I've heard a lot. Am I on speaker? Logan. I loooooooove youuuuuu~"
Patton looked over his shoulders, grinning a goofy goober grin. Logan had a pillow over his face hiding his blush and he was highkey screaming into the pillow. Patton laughed and Roman laughed by association, figuring that something funny was happening. So apparently every animal crossing town visit, every Minecraft world they built, every Pokémon battle they shared, literally everything they had was considered a date now. Oh, and Roman as just being a little shit by having them play in sperate rooms. Logan wants to know why, but he's too flustered to ask right now.
Because this was the opposite of being chill, despite the title of the chapter being Minecraft and Chill. Let's give Logan some space, Reader. He need some to calm down.
