Chapter Text
Ein's POV
Me and Pierce were setting up another prank on Aphmau. I put TNT underneath her front porch while Pierce set up the distraction inside her house. Aphmau was out mining with Zane and Noi right now. I finished and checked in on Pierce.
Me: Pierce! Are you done?
Pierce: Yes... I just finished.
Me: Great!
I set up the last thing that'll trigger the TNT to go off. We then left and hid behind a bush giving us a clear view of Aphmau's house. Soon enough the trio were also in our view.
Noi: We had a great day today!
Aphmau: I know right! I got so many diamonds!
Zane: I finally get to restock on my coal and iron.
Aphmau: Are we still planning on surprising KC today?
Noi: Yep!
Zane: Absoulutely.
Aphmau: Great! I'll see you guys in a bit.
Aphmau then entered her house.
Aphmau: WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HOU- AHHH!
Zane and Noi came running back.
Zane: APH!
Noi: Aphmau?
Aphmau respawned
Aphmau: EIN!
Oh shit. Both me and Pierce started making our way back to our houses. Pierce immediately went to his sheep. While I went to count my gold. Pranking Aphmau was always so much fun. She was easy to target because she's never really home a lot of the times. While, I was halfway counting my gold collection, I heard a knock at my door. I went to go answer it to be met with an angry Aaron and an angry Zane.
Me: Hey guys...
I started running.
Aaron: Hey! You get back here!
Zane: EIN!
They both started chasing me. I passed by Pierce's house to see him still tending to his sheep.
Me: Pierce! Help me!
I continued running around the hub. Zane and Aaron continued chasing me. I know they're not gonna stop until they catch me. After a few minutes I noticed Pierce was talking to both of them. I couldn't catch a word they said until Zane shouted.
Zane: That's not gonna change the fact, I STILL WANT TO KILL HIM!
Zane started chasing me again. To be honest, I was out of breath. I haven't ran like this in forever. Sure I get chased by Zane or Aaron, or at least someone every day, it felt like I was running a marathon today.
Aphmau: ZANE! Stop chasing him. It's fine, I can always rebuild my house.
Zane: But he- you-.
Aphmau: I'm fine. Now stop chasing him.
Zane: Fine Aph.
I finally stopped running and was trying to catch my breath. Pierce walked up to me.
Pierce: Are you okay Ein?
Me: Yeah, I'm fine!
Pierce: Let's go my house okay?
Me: Sure!
Pierce's POV
I was feeding my blue Canadian sheep when I heard ruckus going on. I didn't care much as it sounded like Aphmau might've pranked Zane. I was finishing up when I heard someone scream. It sounded like Ein.
Ein: Pierce! Help me!
I turned around to see Ein being chased by Zane and Aaron. He's always getting into trouble. I quickly told my sheep goodbye and started run after Zane and Aaron along with Aphmau. It was funny to see Aph threaten the two. They immediately stopped and came to us.
Aaron: Were you a part of this prank Pierce?
Me: I was, but!
Zane: No buts!
Aphmau: Guys! Hear him out!
Me: It was just supposed to be a harmless prank-
Aaron: Harmless! You blew her house up!
Zane: Along with her!
Me: I know, I know! I wanted to apologize on my half and Ein's half. You know how he can be sometimes. I didn't know he put extra TNT, I thought it was just the few I placed underneath Aphmau's house.
Aphmau: Just forgive him! Plus he's apologized before.
Aaron: But that's Pierce, not Ein!
Zane: Aph, we all know Ein won't change.
Aphmau: Well maybe it's because you're not giving him a chance to change!
Aaron: Aph...
Aphmau: No! I'm not hearing it until you stop.
Pierce: Just stop chasing my boyfriend. I mean how many times have I apologized?
Zane: Look Pierce, I get that he's your boyfriend ... That's not gonna change the fact, I STILL WANT TO KILL HIM!
Oh brother. Why does Ein keep getting himself in trouble. It's getting too tiresome. He's always planning out pranks and other things. I'm getting tired of his reckless behavior too. He also only cares about gold too, I personally prefer diamonds. Lately, it just seems that I don't have the same feelings for him as I used to. Like, I don't feel in love with him anymore.
Aphmau: ZANE! Stop chasing him. It's fine, I can always rebuild my house.
Zane: But he- you-.
Aphmau: I'm fine. Now stop chasing him.
Zane: Fine Aph.
I walked up to Ein who was catching his breath.
Me: Are you okay Ein?
Ein: Yeah, I'm fine!
Me: Let's go my house okay?
Ein: Sure!
Both me and Ein walked over to my house. The walk was quiet with the occasional yells of Zane in the background. Once we arrived I told Ein,
Me: You can go inside, I need to ask Aphmau a quick question.
Ein: Okay!
I watched as he went inside my house. I knew he wouldn't do anything since I've left him before in my house. I walked over to Aphmau's house.....? I guess, she's rebuilding.
Me: Hey Aph!
Aphmau: Yeah Pierce!
Me: I wanted to ask you question.
Aphmau: Sure, let me get down!
She climbed down the dirt stairs she made and walked over to me.
Aphmau: So what did you want to ask me?
Me: I was wondering how do you tell someone the truth?
Aphmau: There's many ways. You can slowly tell them, trying to sugarcoat it. Or you can rip it off like a band-aid and very straight forward.
Me: Okay! Thanks.
Aphmau: You're welcome!
Me: I hope you can fix your house.
Aphmau: Don't worry, I got it.
Me: Okay. Let me know if you need help. Bye!
Aphmau: Bye Pierce!
I then walked back to my house. How am I gonna tell Ein I wanna break up with him? Should I sugarcoat it or just tell him. No! I need to tell him the truth, even if it means being mean to him... He won't take it personally right? I mean, I don't want to end my friendship with him. We're like best buddies, but, he also is so rude to our other friends. So it's either him, or my friends. I... I have to choose my friends.
I walked up to my front door. I took one deep breath then entered my house. Ein was sitting on the couch watching tv. I walked up to him.
Ein: Hi Pierce!
Me: Hey... Ein...
Ein: What's wrong?
Me: We need to breakup!
Ein: What?!
Me: I said we need to break up!
Ein: But why?!
3rd Person POV
Pierce: Because I don't like you anymore! It's as simple as that Ein! Are you really that dumb?
Ein: NO! I JUST UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DON'T LIKE ME ANYMORE!
Pierce: You Keep pulling harmful pranks on our friends! I don't enjoy doing that anymore!
Ein: Wha-
Pierce and Ein had a heated argument. Things were said and feelings were hurt. In the end, Pierce said,
Peirce: I would choose anyone over you, you're such a jerk.
Ein paused in his tracks to the front door. He looked back at Pierce, he saw eyes full of hatred. No love, kindness, just pure hate. Ein turned around and left Pierce's home, slowly making his way towards his. Luckily, no one was around. He was glad, he didn't want anybody to see him crying. Not like they would care anyways.
Once he made his way to his home, he closed the door behind him. He couldn't believe the only person he thought really cared about him, dumped him. He really hoped the him and Pierce would be together forever... that dream isn't happening.
Ein's POV
'I know you want to...'
What?
'Don't be shy, you've done it before...'
Oh, it's you again. Go away...
'But why?'
I don't need you...
'But you need someone, everyone on the hub hates you'
I know that...
'So just do it...'
! TW - may skip if want!
It was like my body dragged my to my bathroom. I grabbed an old razor I had. I took off the bracelet I had on, my wrists were filled with many scars. All, nobody's ever seen because they're faded. Again, it was like my body was on auto pilot and red liquid started flowing down my wrist. I then realized I had made various cuts along my forearm. But, it felt good... The same process happened on my other arm.
!TW over!
I'm going back to my bad habits aren't I...?
'But doesn't it relive your pain?'
I guess...
I quickly rinsed my arms and it stung a bit. I was glad I still had my supplies of bandages. I wrapped both of my arms. I went to my bedroom. I lied down on my back and stared at my ceiling. Why, why does this always happen to me!
Why can't I make friends? Everyone always leaves me... Why? At least I know why people here on the hub hate me, I prank them all the time. Maybe that's why everyone hates me? I did the same back in high school. I just want true friends is that all too hard to ask for? I looked out my window and saw the sun was setting. I didn't care that it was this early, a lot happened today. I'm tired.
I closed my eyes and found myself asleep instantly.
