A/N: I wasn't sure whether to make it a one-shot or two-shot, but I prefer two-shot. So take some Sparkant cause #REVIVESPARKANT. 1/2
GG (Good Game) - A Sparkant Fanfic
[Ant's Third Person POV]
A sadistic grin formed on Antvenom's face as he stabs a clueless female player multiple times from behind with his iron sword. He watches her vanish, indicating that she's now out of the games. Items that used to be her's were scattered around the area where she had 'died'.
Ant was crowned the 'Champion of the Hunger Games' after he had defeated the former champion BajanCanadian (A/N: I know Mitch is like, da boss at HG, but I needed a name soo...) in a friendly-but-competitive match. Competitors who attend these games aren't actually brutally murdered, but instead teleported back to the lobby if they were 'killed'. They're able to watch the games from cameras and sponsor as well (But it costs money to sponsor, so that people don't spam items for someone). Therefore, the players can be as wild as they want and be able to fully use their skills without any serious damages.
Today was the tournaments for this year's champion and Ant strives to make sure no one else will take his title.
After quickly sorting through items that will give him the better benefits, he dashes off in a stealthy matter to a more safe location.
When he spotted a tree that was accessible to climb on, he grabs the vines that dangled from the treetops and swiftly pulls himself upwards to a thick branch. Since there were now less players than before, it could be more ideal to travel by trees instead of taking a risk at low-ground.
Ant took out a loaf of bread from his backpack that he snatched from some random person and munched on it to sustain his hunger. While having his jaws clamp the bread, he pressed the 'tab' button on his gaming watch to reveal a gray holographic board of the remaining people in the games. His eyes widened and he almost spat out his bread, doubting what he had just read.
Written first was CaptainSparklez. CaptainSparklez was competing! THE CaptainSparklez! His absence for last year's tournament made the rounds much easier than he thought they would be (Which disappointed the audience because their battles are very intense), but the fact that he didn't even see him for the entire games this match made it a sudden surprise.
Shivers ran down Ant's back, he'll have to fight him to keep his title. The problem is; their skills are at equal rates, so one of them would need to have a sly move or a trick up their sleeves. Basically anything unexpected to win the games!
He finished his bread in silence, keeping his gazes sharp and focused in case someone passed by. Slinging his small pack on his shoulders, he moved from tree to tree while trying to keep as quiet as possible.
A single dried leaf being crushed broke the silence unexpectedly. Ant panicked and ducked behind the trunk of a tree while crouched down on a sturdy branch, he took out his bow and arrow getting ready to shoot.
"Gosh dangit..." A murmur was heard. The voice sounded familiar, which belonged to CaptainSparklez.
Ant's eyes widened in fear, but then narrowed in determination. 'I can just shoot him, right here right now!' He thought with excitement, aiming the arrow approximately to where his heart was.
However, it felt like a presence was preventing him from shooting, which caused the arrow he was holding to shake. Ant was now hesitating for a final decision (This made him ponder because that never usually happens). Shoot or not shoot? 'The presence just won't go away!' He angrily yelled in his mind. Well, if he's going to shoot, chances are that he would probably miss due to the quivering of the arrow.
But the sweat that formed on his palms and fingers caused the arrow to be slippery around his grip, which almost instantly was released by accident... (A/N: I'm not sure if that can actually happen, but oh well, screw logic :D)
Ant gasped, a little too loudly. CaptainSparklez look over and his cobalt-blue eyes widened at the arrow that's flying directly towards him. He barely dodged the arrow and whipped out his iron sword. The man with the sunglasses' sharp gaze... rather relaxed when he realized that it was Ant who shot the arrow.
What made Ant majorly confused was that CaptainSparklez put his sword back in it's sheath which was attached to his belt, and instead extended his hand out like a handshake. The words that flowed through his mouth was a puzzling thing to hear in Ant's ears from him.
"Team?" He asked politely, giving him an innocent smile.
Ant froze on the spot, what was this he heard? Team? What the Nether?! What for?! His defensive side kicked in, not wanting to give in that easily without thought. "Why would I...?" He questioned suspiciously, readying his bow in case something unexpected happened.
A chuckle filled the air. "It's a shame if you just killed me right now." He explained smoothly, arm still extended. "Most of the audience who are watching us always anticipate for our fights at the end. Besides, you're champion right? It would make it more exciting! We could just team up for now to kill off the other players and then fight during deathmatch. A fair one-on-one match with no one else to interfere, how does that sound?"
'...Is he seriously bargaining me right now?' Was the first thought that came to Ant's head. It sounded pretty skeptical, this doesn't even sound like CaptainSparklez when he's competing! Then again, what he says is true. It would be embarrassing if someone else killed him while they fought. He was then put in a dilemma.
After a while of pondering, he gave in and sighed. If something goes wrong, he'll might as well act quickly.
"I...I guess so, but I swear CaptainSparklez, if you're going to backstab me..." Ant warned, not fully gaining trust in him (yet). He slowly climbed down from the tree, attempting to make second thoughts. But his mind just wasn't thinking straight.
"Just call me Sparklez, or Jordan. Either one works." Sparklez grinned in amusement while watching Ant climb down. "Don't worry, we'll only team up until we're the last ones in the game!"
Ant walked over to him cautiously, gingerly taking Sparklez's hand and shook it before separating the handshake. "So, I guess we're allies then?" He asked to clarify the situation. The other man nodded happily.
"Yup! Well, what are we waiting for? We better get moving or else!"
The duo walked side-by-side in silence, focused to find anyone else for them to kill. Sparklez checked on his holographic board for the remaining players in the game. "Other than us, there's 6 people left in the game." He informed Ant. "They could be allies, but who knows?"
"Right..." Was the only response that came out. Ant has been having this strange feeling ever since they joined alliance, like his heart beating faster. 'Why though?' He thought. 'Maybe because something, or someone's going to strike? Like a presence for an ambush?'
He decided to brush off the tingled feeling for now. "It's 2 more kills until Deathmatch," Ant then added, breaking the silence. "We should be prepared then."
Hearing the suggestion earned a nod from Sparklez in reply.
After a while of traveling on foot, a low voice was heard in the distance. Both men froze instantly when they heard the sound and immediately readied their swords.
Sparklez placed his index finger on his lips indicating to keep quiet (A/N: I'M USING FINGERS FOR MINECRAFT. #WUT). Ant rolled his eyes, which was clearly visible for Sparklez to see. "No shit!" He mouthed back as mockery laced his inner tone.
They both slowly approach the voice and giggling, being careful not to step on anything (As a lesson from Sparklez) or make any sound.
When they were about a safe distance away in a bush, the allied-duo noticed that it was another player. He had more armor than the other two Minecrafters had. Chain leggings and helmet, leather chestplate and iron boots all topped off with a iron sword.
Ant felt a little skimpy with his lack of armor (Iron leggings and helmet) compared to the other player, but his ignorance was going to make him charge and attack. He took a step forward just as a hand gripped his shoulder tightly which caused him to jump.
"Don't." Sparklez's concerned voice murmured in Ant's ear. Heat crawled up on Ant's face in embarrassment as the tingled feeling from earlier came back to his stomach, this time it was much stronger.
He tried to calm himself down, but the blush and jolts won't subside. "Just look at him though..." Ant whispered to Sparklez in disgust towards the player. "Acting all egotistic and shenanigans! He's saying such nonsense!" They watched the guy who was polishing his sword and proudly talking to himself.
"Wait 'till I get both CaptainSparklez and AntVenom..." He giggled darkly, arrogance filled his voice. Both hiding men exchange a glance at the mention of their names before continuing their spy. "Oooh, the looks on their faces will be priceless when I slay them! Hehe..."
A low growl was barely heard from Ant. Even though he was cocky and arrogant himself, he just can't stand these types of people (What a hypocrite...) ! Sparklez gave him a worried look.
"Don't worry though, that's why there's the 'Element of Surprise'! Watch me..." Sparklez whispered before moving ahead silently. The guy turned to grabbed his pack once satisfied with his sword, making his back exposed to Sparklez. Immediately, he flew his sword into it, causing a scream to erupt before removing it and slicing him repeatedly.
Ant rushed over and stopped Sparklez by resting his hands on either side if his shoulder-blades.
"I-I think that's enough..." He spoke softly when he saw the corpse disappearing, leaving behind many goods. A cannon boomed in the distance, having them know that the person is now gone.
He saw his partner tense at the touch and sound. "Uh, yeah...Sorry about that..." Sparklez sheepishly replied. He fixed himself up and exhaled to relax. "Anyways, that's one down. One left to go until Deathmatch."
As the day darkened, the sky was now a mixture of orange, pink, and blue with the slightest hint of red. The clouds were a tint of pink as the golden sun was setting off in the west. Ant looked up from the tree they agreed to settle onto for the night, admiring the pastel shades that clashed beautifully with each other.
"It's beautiful isn't it?"
The sudden voice made him tense up and gasp quietly in surprise, but then he calmed down when he realized that it was just Sparklez.
He could've sworn his heart skipped a beat when the other man perched himself right next him. Why though?
Sparklez shifted a little on the treetop to make himself more comfortable, then gazed at the sunset.
"Y-Yeah..." Ant replied a little timidly, fidgeting with the leaf he held in his hands. A light-red blush heated on his cheeks, luckily blending in with the colors from the sunset. He can't believe Sparklez can just get to his soft side so easily! Usually he just appeared to most players as a arrogant, cocky man who loves to win.
A warm feeling filled his insides (not literally) as they watch the sunset together in silence. Thoughts were racing in both of their heads by the time it was nightfall.
As expected, the anthem music blared from out of no where as a neon light-blue holographic screen was displayed across the starry sky. In order of 'deaths', they had shown the players who have 'fallen'.
Ant frowned at the massive amount of players who were now gone, but shrugged it off since they weren't actually dead. They're most likely just watching from the invisible cameras above for the results of the games.
When the slide-show was over, Ant glanced over at Sparklez. "I could watch guard tonight, you know, in case these players hunt at night too." He offered generously, smiling at him.
Sparklez nodded understanding. "Okay...!" The man with sunglasses replied chuckling. "Don't get killed!"
Ant's smiled faded in exhaustion. Sparklez climbed into the sleeping-bag that was in his pack, soon falling asleep after getting comfortable.
However, Ant himself was tired as well. It was difficult for him to keep his eyes open, he huffed in annoyance as he gazed out into the forest.
Later on, a faint snore was heard from Sparklez. Ant giggled at the sound. 'Wait a moment...' He doesn't giggle! He never does! But he just couldn't resist it, he hated to admit it...
...but it was kind of cute...
Like, he's seen other people sleep (Don't. Even. Ask.), but this one's different. Now that tingled feeling is back...
Ant tore his gazed from the sleeping man, wanting to slap himself in the face for staring. 'Stop being creepy, Ant!' He scowled himself.
But it all came to him as he pieced these strange things together. Tingled feeling in stomach, jolts when he was touched, blushing (a huge giveaway), heartbeat increasing (Maybe skipped), giggling, staring at Sparklez sleeping... and thinking it was adorable. Plus, he even agreed to team up with him! Also was hesitating to shoot him!
'No no no no no!' His tired eyes widened, it can't be. It just can't be! He swore that he was straight, not bisexual (not that it was a bad thing either)!
A quiet groan escaped from his mouth as he blushed light-pink at the thought. After a while, he too fell asleep with the same phrase repeating over and over in his head.
'I'm love with CaptainSparklez...'
A/N: Aaaaand cut! Lol Ant's slow when it comes to love xD
So I'm not a very consistent writer (as you may notice), but my writing skills still develop and yeah ^_^ This was also supposed to be for Wattpad too, but I figured 'Why not?' And post it here as well! Part 2 is under a rough draft at the moment, and stay tuned everyone :3
