Title: Can we just be please?
Pairing: Krobus X Ellijah
POV: [[Krobus|Prologue]] or [[Ellijah|eprologue]]
I have learned that the village had a new farmer, I wonder what they are like. Hopefully they fit in well with the other villagers, even though they don't know of my existance, i know about them, sometimes I would listen into Emily's music as she dances...i assume. I shouldn't but it's pleasant. Or sometimes I would hear Alex work out, not for long. I like listening into their lives that I will never be a part of. They are a fascinating bunch.
I hear the pipes talking about an Ellijah. That he had black hair and blue eyes. That came from Haley's house. By the end of the day, it seemed that this Ellijah had met a good portion of the villagers. He seemed friendly, i thought as i steeped in the sewage mist. Hmmmm.
The next time I heard of Ellijah, it was from the sisters. It seemed the one had a crush on him. They spoke of his kindness and again his friendliness. It seemed this farmer liked to speak to people. Hmmmmm. I wanted to speak to this farmer, but i would never get the chance.
I would soon hear Ellijah in their rooms, he seemed to be getting close with everyone. He had a low quiet voice i could barely hear properly. But it was pleasant....the tone of it, it seemed gentle and friendly. No wonder he charmed the village.
Once winter rolled around i finally saw this farmer and he was....soft. He wore a dusty old pilled cap and a great heart on his black shirt. I ran away and hid. But he never came for me. I don't know if i was relieved or disappointed.
Until of course he received a key.
I couldn't believe that this farmer wishes to speak to me, that he wasn't afraid of me. and day after day we became friends. best friends. I have come to love the small chats with my...this farmer. His quiet wisdom. His generosity of the many void mayornnaise he has gifted me. It hurts that he doesn't know how I feel about him, how he seems to think it's just a gift but i tell him that it's a great honor, something so rare and precious to my people. I love the way he smiles, a little shy but steady with his eye contact that spoke of an intensity under his soft demeanor. He must have a lot of void eggs on his farm, though how he aquired a void chicken is beyond me. Or why he raised one.
Did he raise a void chicken for....me? preposterous. As much as I love to watch my...this farmer's soft face when he comes to talk to me about his day. About the cows that he clearly loves. This man has a heart bigger than the one on his shirt, i mean why else would he talk to me. It's a wonder he hasn't wed yet. Everyone wonders this. I hear them speculate. But i knew he didn't want to marry, until Leah. It hurt to know that she would get to share his bed, his life. Part of me longed for him again. But he still continued to visit me, to gift me void mayonnaise. Despite a wife, he didn't know so I accepted them.
The pipes had been buzzing that as sudden he married Leah he divorced her. Something bubbled in my chest, did he feel pressured to marry even though he didn't truely want to. He came around day after day buying my void essence of the day. All 10 of them, every day until i didn't see him for a week, perhaps two.
One day i saw him again, he looked less soft, like he'd been battling monsters, though the flower he started to wear his second year was still affixed to his now longer hair, he had an intense face. He seemed disapointed in something but he didn't seem to want to say, how i missed him but he was starting to worry me. He brought me a void mayonnaise, appologizing about being gone for so long. We chatted and caught up, it seemed he went to the skull cavern. My heart sank. Why would he go there? It was so dangerous, what possessed him to go to such a place. I told him how dangerous it was, and he gave one of his intense smile of his.
"I was trying to find something."
"Did you?"
"Yes"
That night he gave me a void ghost pendant, though he doesn't understand the implications of it. That it's truely a bad idea.But The sheer happiness of living with my bestfriend was too much to bear, it was confusing. I had wanted to share my life with him, to see the fruit of his labour over the past 4 years. Watch him continue to work hard, to run around with seemingly endless energy. This is the beginning of a new [[chapter|chapter1]] in my life. I sat and thought, we shadow brutes need no sleep. But watching him sleep peacefully, made my heart swell with love for my farmer. Even in my thoughts I can't deny that this man is truely special to me. That I get to share this house, this land. I hear him mumble and turn to face me, strong hands reaching out to the other side of the empty bed. Part of me wonders how it would feel to share that part of him too, but it's best not to dwell on it. I can feel the sun rise outside, and soon it was 6 AM and Ellijah opens his eyes suddenly, a bright smile on his face. He even smiles when he wakes up, how sweet. I couldn't help but think, that he is such a sweet man, I would do anything to keep him safe.
He rushes up to me, wishing me a good morning and opening his arms for a hug. I felt my heart drop in surprise. I never thought I would get to touch him too. It didn't take me long to decide to walk into his arms and wrap mine around him. It was a shock, so pleasant and nice that I didn't want to let go, thought I knew I should. Ellijah had his farm to take care of. I couldn't really see out the window, but down by the coops and barns he would pet his animals, it seems everything runs itself but he still checks on everything.
Sometimes he would stop and look out over his farm, leaning on that sword of his, though i can see he mainly uses it to cut grass, what a funny human. I saw him go to the greenhouse but it was too far from the house for me to see, though I wonder what the inside looks like.
I walk into the kitchen, and open the fridge, he did offer. I spot them in the corner, the void mayonnaise, and many of them. Enough for a week, i pick on up and freeze when he said that it was good that i found them.
I look over in awe, he made these for me, he's such a good friend. I smile and have a lovely chat, noticing his cheeks were rosy from the brisk wind outside and the smell of rich earth wafting from his body. I wanted to hug him again. I want to wrap myself in his arms and stay there. But that would be too much to ask. I watch him beam in pride from the mention of sweet gem berries, though these are disgusting to my kind, he seemed to be interested in gifting the wine made from them.
He is such a hard working man, though he decided to go to the mountain, i could not follow. So i walked around the farm when it was getting dark. I met the cows, the lovely void chicken, he even had a small lizard . How cute!
hmm, I walk over to what seems to be a shrine, I remember mention of this man from the pipes long ago. Ellijah's grandfather. "Thank you, for giving Ellijah this farm. " I say, knowing his spirit could hear me.
I turn to see him standing behind me, he looked a little confused by my presence but nodded.
"Take care of my grandson, He has done well with the farm however, I\m always afraid he won't take care of his heart." Grandpa said quietly, walking past to sit on his shrine, patting the spot beside him. I sit down and look up at the stars, I wonder what Ellijah is doing right now. Is he still in the mountains?
"I plan on it, I do not know why he chose to gave me the void ghost pendant, but I will stay for as long as he'll have me."
Granpa nodded and looked up at the stars, i could see the glow in the distance, of Ellijah's iridium band lighting the way. I turn to find myself alone on tyhe shrine. Hoping down I walk to him, he stopped and smiled that small intense smile, my knees felt weak but I opened my arms.
"Welcome home" I say, looking up at him. He quickly pulls me into his arms and gives me a tight hug.
"Thanks Krobus" he told me sweetly, i feel him pull away and my heart goes with him. He looked tired though it is true that humans do need sleep. He pats my head and plays with the little wisp I coif, i felt myseelf tingle in pleasure and I pull away quickly.
"Oh....I'm sorry." He said softly, looking disspointed, as much as I loved it, it was a very Bad Idea. I couldn't lust after my best friend. It's wrong, humans and monsters should never couple. It's forbidden. It's difficult enough to live together, let alone allow myself sexual feelings for him. But it felt so damn good.
I watch him strip and go to bed, pulling himself under the covers. I wander back into my corner of the room and sit and think. I should leave, but I knew i couldn't do that to Ellijah. I didn't want to either, i was for the first time. happy.
I heard the farmer sigh in his sleep, and the soothing rhythmic breathing, my body having a hard time keeping it's diminuative shape i so desired. No, don't think about how it would feel to have that breath in me. No no no. It was going to be a long night.
[[next chapter|chapter2]]I've had enough of this soul crushing cess pit called joja. Opening the letter, it turns out I have a farm to my name. doli farm, something inside me pulsed with life. A way out.
Except it was going to be a lot of hard work. Over two years I managed to rebuild the community center, to build up my farm to something truely wonderful. A sense of pride swells within me thinking back at those early days of tilling and planting seed. Before I even got a diverse group in my coop and a large barn. Going to bed with energy spent. The muscle aches as I kept at it. Stayed friendly, helping those out when i could and worked hard provided those gifts of the Valley.
It was winter when I saw him. This shadow creature. He was so.......cute. I smile thinking about him, I wondered where he came from, where he lived. Maybe in the village somewhere? hmm.
It came to a surprised to see him in the sewer. He stared at me afraid but i gave him a Void Mayonnaise, I figured he would enjoy it. It was a stroke a good bad luck to get that void egg from that cackling witch one night. I knew i had to hatch it, to see what would spring forth. A cute void chicken. It made me so happy. It seemed the void mayonnaise was the best thing i could ever give him. How it was an honor. I smiled and shrugged, though i felt my heart warm at how cute he was. I wanted to hug him so damn bad.
Now it wasn't my intention to keep people guessing, but no one interested me quite like Krobus, but no one would really understand. How insightful he was to human nature, how damn small and cute he was. How he would listen when we spoke about my farm or humanity as a whole. I have met other shadow people in the mines, but it's hard to make friends when they try and attack me. It hurts me to hurt them, because it looks like I'm hurting Korbus. it pains me so much. Knowing he could never really love a human. Why would he? Humans have hunted him.
Though Leah was a friend I wouldn't mind dating and even marrying, my heart wasn't as into it as she deserved, I burried myself in her but my heart longed for a smaller cuter and shadowier body. I loved her, but not in the same way. It pained me to divorce her but I couldn't handle lying to myself. I learned through whispers that shadow people have a pendant of their own, void ghost pendants. Skull Cavern monsters sometimes drop it. Though i don't want to hurt more monsters I knew what I had to do. I became obssessed. I needed to have Krobus with me on my farm, even as a friend.
But weeks passed without so much a wisp of it. My heart sank. A myth. I returned to Stardew Valley, returned to krobus, return to giving him void mayo.
"Did you find what you were looking for?" I stare at his small shadowy body.
"Yes" I say, knowing i will continue to search for one of those pendants. I returned to the desert, and spot from the market a void ghost pendant. Taking the void essense i forgot in my pocket, I trade it. I run to Pam in the bus. I must look so frighting to her, as she gave me a look. But i don't care, I have found a way to share my life with my bestfriend.
"What's gotten into you kid?" She asked worriedly.
"Good things, just good things" I say softly and rush to the back of the bus. She snorts and starts the vehicle up, driving off to Stardew Valley once again.
That night I gave him the pendant, he seemed....happy and confused. I stopped myself from fidgiting. He would be here in a few days. I already cleared out a space for his stuff, waiting was agony. But waking up to find him just...there....in my house was so....nice.
Finally a new [[chapter|echapter1]] begins in my life.
I look over and see Krobus' side of the room and grin to myself as I quickly rush over to speak to him.
"Mornin'" I said excitedly, opening my arms for him to walk in. Though he looked surprised, he walked into my arms.
Then I finally hug him. I hold on and feel his shadowy body against mine. it was pleasant and over too soon but I have a farm to run after all. My skin still tingles from where Krobus pressed up against me, it sends a shiver up my spin before I realize what it was. I couldn't start wanting Krobus, it wouldn't end well. But i knew deep down I wanted him, all of him. I cough smile over to him. "well I should get to work." I nod and start to the door.
"help yourself to anything in the fridge" I call out from the front door as I go about my routine of checking my greenhouse and other crops, pet my animals, pick up what needs to be sold. But now my mind is thinking of Krobus as I go about my day, I wonder what he does when I work. I hope he finds all that void mayo in the fridge. I made it just for him. The crisp fall air nipping at my face, the leaves blustering about as my farm animals roam freely about it. I see one of Shane's blue chickens pecking at the grass and seeds in the dirt, scratching. I wish I could tell him about Krobus, or anyone, but that would be a really Bad Idea.
But the little shadow brute was worth it. I didn't spend a week in the Skull Cavern, or constantly going to the desert, neglecting my farm because it felt so empty without him. I lean on my galaxy sword that I mainly use to cut grass now a days, and sigh. I thought about the hug and wonder if I should wander down that path. I always wondered how it would feel to join with him. To feel that tingle around me, inside me.
Do shadow brutes fuck? The thought stopped me dead in my tracks on my way to the green house. Well now I'm horny. I sigh and walk inside hunkering down in the back and dropping my pants, wiggling and shifting to get them to my ankles. With my back to one of the trees and breath in the warm damp earthy air. God imagine if he did have sex, how would he be like. Slipping a hand under my shirt I softly rub my chest and stomach, reaching down to rub my slowly and lazily filling cock. Would he be gentle? or shy? my cock jumped at the whisper of him being a little rougher. Well I guess I'm in the mood for a rough fantasy.
"mmm" I mumble and close my eyes, slowly pumping my cock. I think about Krobus, about him smirking at me as he guides his cock into my mouth, my other hand twitches and press my fingers past my lips my tongue parting my fingers. I felt lewd but in the best possible way. It was just me and Krobus here and Krobus doesn't like the sun. I had enough privacy. I keep thinking about his hands grabbing my hair and head, guiding my face over his cock, pulling back, thrusting in, i was too pent up to continue, twitching as I suddenly came. Though it felt good, I wished it was a little longer. I grab some dirt and rub my hands clean. Going to wash my hands in the green house sink. I freshen up and wonder where my mind would have taken that. Though it's an interesting thought experiment, how Krobus would be in the sack, it wasn't going to happen ever.
I chuckle and shake my head, and if he doesn't then well that's fine by me, a friendship is all I need.
I walk back to my farmhouse and push inside, bracing myself for the empty feeling it gave, but I saw Krobus in the kitchen looking at the Void Mayo.
"Oh, you found it, good!" I smile, staring at his cute shadowy face and the curly Q on top of his head. He jumped and looked me over in surprise. I felt my heart flutter as I remember what I did, the shame of thinking about my best friend in that context.
"You were running around today, you really work hard." He said, I found it rather sweet, my heart skipping a beat when i realized he watched me. I rub the back of my head and shrugged. Hopefully my release remained a secret.
"Well, I mean, the seeds you plant today, will be the fruit of your labour later. Though I don't work as hard as I used too, I did plant some extra special crops this year" I smiled at the shadow brute. "Some Sweet Gem berries!" I grinned, I remember waiting every friday and sunday to buy the one seed in stock for seasons, seasons for this special wine i want to make.
"oh! those are rare!" Krobus seemed impressed, staring up at you.
"I'm making some really good wine" I sigh, i used to give it to Leah, though I deserve her cold shoulder, I do miss my friend too. Krobus goes silent before putting the void mayo in the fridge again.
"Will it be for drinking?" He asked, though he knows I don't drink. "Gifts and what's left is to sell." Krobus smiles.
"It will be certainly a wonderful wine, a large fruit of your labour for sure."
"Thanks Krobus..." I smile, making something to eat for lunch before heading out to the mountain. I wonder what he meant a large fruit of labour. Though probably just that.
---
I'm up the mountain, hearing someone close by, I turn to see my friend Linus, I look at the adventurous wild man and smile. my heart swells when I see him, I remember seeing him and thinking, well this is an interesting person. He has been so many places, and learned so much from nature.
"You seem happier, if a little pensive" The wise older man smiled, his bearded face wrinkling.
"I am. I can be with my love." You say softly, staring over the lake.
"Leah's a sweet girl, but who ever has your heart now must truely be special."
"She is very sweet, but she never had my heart, Linus. I do still love her as I always have, the same way I love you." I say soft. I pat Linus' shoulder and sighed. I look over, back to the lake and smile, wishing Krobus could see it with me. Understanding came across Linus' features.
"I'm glad to see you in love, your farm house has been empty for so long. " I cough awkwardly.
"He doesn't know, Linus. He's my housemate." Linus' freezes and stares at me. For like a long time.
"Oh my dear friend, you are in for a tempest of emotion." He said softly, knowingly. He looked at my face, i felt Linus put his hands on my shoulder. "You have my support regardless"
I relaxed and smiled, I wanted to tell Linus so much, knowing he would of all people understand my situation, but I knew that it was too fresh of an arrangement yet. Once I feel more secure in the housemate situation, maybe I would tell him. Maybe even introduce Krobus to one of your truely good friends in Stardew Valley.
[[next chapter|echapter2]]
I came down the mountain, the cold mountain air chilling me. Winter was on the air. I could see my breath, like a dragon. The hare stopped for a moment, looked at me and hopped off into the bush. Part of me excited to go back to my farm. Knowing Krobus would be there waiting, tomorrow was friday and I was wanting to share his silence for so long. The other part dreaded it. I had never known lust so strong, i have never known lust at all.
yes I've had sex but it was more mechanical if anything. I know it would be a bad idea to....actually act on my lust. I stop and look up at the stars, wondering if I'm content with this, friendship. And honestly I am happy. I will take what Krobus will share with me. But i am open to the possibility of more. so much more.
I sigh through my nose and smile, glad that I've someone to come back to. Seeing strange lights in the sky, I shrugged, must be a UFO. I started to see them after my second year.
I rush back to my farm, opening the door and getting ready to sleep. I stripped down, something I started to do after divorcing Leah. Staring at the bed, I crawl in, looking over at Krobus, how cute and tiny he was, "Goodnight Krobus" I say as I drift off to sleep.
-----
I'm in the Greenhouse, it's raining outside, sitting and watching my plants grow in the humid air. You hear a gasp and look over at Krobus, he was looking around in awe. He walks over to me and takes my face in his hands, the tingling went straight to my heart, to my cock. "Oh...." I look up at him with a confused smile. he crawls onto my lap his tingling and weightless form gliding over my semi hard cock.
"Krobus?"
I look into his empty eyes and shudder in delight as my cock tingles as I harden in his misty shadowy body.
'Fuck me Krobus' I think to him, as openly and loud as I could. My yearning strong and hot in me, he said nothing, it must be because it's friday. I whimper sweetly for him my hands laying upon his tiny legs so i could roll my hips up into him, yet he stayed silent. his face was one of pleasure, he leans forward and lays his forhead upon mine as I pant. He breathes in, i can feel him share breath with me and something changed in him, he became larger, bulkier looking. I blinked in awe and run my fingers over his silky edge of his being.
'Take Me' I think to him, with urgency and lust, again nothing but he twisted me to my front, over a root of one of my trees. glinding over my backside and slipping inside, lighting everything up in pleasure.
and he takes me, I wake up with a gasp. Finding Krobus not in the room, I touch myself quickly and efficiently getting myself off. Wiping my hands on the sheets I make a note to do laundry.
Hmmm, this is going to be difficult. I get dressed and walk out to find Krobus in the kitchen, ah right, silent friday. I smile and walk up to him and silently ask for a hug. He smiled and walked into my arms, i may be a sucker for punishment, because damn this hug feels good. so damn good.
'He's so cute' I think, he looks up at me as if he heard it and we stare at each other. I wonder if he could read minds....I try again, though he dosen't change his smile, I let go, I'm a little dissapointed. It would have been so lovely to share thoughts as well.
I give him a silent nod and walk out, stopping and lean back against the door. I sigh and turn quickly opening the door, shocked that the Krobus of my dreams was there, but a blink and he was gone, a waking dream perhaps. I think something about eggs and go get some void eggs my hen produces and walk out with them in my pack.
That form though....Krobus is cute, but man , he does things to me. I want him to do all the things to me. My lips press into a thin line and I find myself going to the Greenhouse, It's so strange how much I want him, all of him in any shape, but knowing that perhaps Krobus could look so...expansive. To feel him around me ,inside me, hmmmmmm.
I see my tent and I rub myself through my jeans. I have much to think about. If it's a friend Krobus wants, i will, no must keep this to myself. As much as the idea of him reading minds is tempting, I know he can't so... with a sigh I lean against my orange tree.
[[next chapter |echapter3]]
Another sigh. He turned towards me and sighed. He's restless. Part of me wonders what he's dreaming of, but despite my abilities, i have vowed to never betray his trust and read his mind.
'Fuck me, Krobus'
What. That was clearly Ellijah. oh no....no no no.....
a long night indeed. I did my best to keep it under control but my form changed back to it's original tall shape, my ugly muscles, i could feel myself taking up so much space and how uncute I am. I liked being small. I liked being cute. The other monsters laugh at me sometimes, but honestly I don't care. I felt so nice and I'm also the perfect height to hug Ellijah. To put my head on his chest as he lowers us. No. Ungh.
I meditate and shut my mind off, but the breathless whispers of Ellijah calling to me brought me back. No escape. no escape.
'take me'. Oh..... That was an image. Seeing his solid and unyeilding body before me, and I couldn't find the disgust i was told I should have for him. But the yearning to understand his body was immense. I want to give him pleasure, as I would a lover. But our arrangement is that of friendship. The danger such a union could bring upon us if one would find out about our friendship, imagine what could happen if we coupled.
Thank Yoba it's Friday. I must now remain as silent as can be. These new feelings of lust is surprising, I never found humans desirable at all. They had solid bodies, i am of shadows. But the warmth that radiates from this man heats me to my core, shakes me every time. Leaves me breathless, though I do not breath. my yearning for him increases, and once again he opens his arms, yoba no... but I wanted it. Because I know i would never want to miss a hug from my warm solid farmer, i would never want to miss the chance to smell such a lovely earthy smell, a suddenly primal smell.
'he's so cute' My heart skipped a non beat and i couldn't help but look up and smile. Our eyes met and I knew why I risked the danger to be a friend with him. I must steel myself to his thoughts, they are not mine to look upon. He just thinks so loud.
He did not speak when he let go, as if remembering what day it was. He nodded and walked out the door, i watched him go wanting more contact, more heat. He waved as he walked out the door and I waved back. With a mental sigh I let go my hold on my form, I forget how much i need to move and stretch.
I wiggle in delight, knowing he finds me cute, well the shape I take on, i love how he appreciates it. If he only knew how hard it was to block out his thoughts, if he only knew how much he broadcasted. I can't tell him, then he would know i could read minds. He wouldn't trust me anymore.
I hear the steps of Ellijah and the door opening, it was a second too late, but he may have seen my true form, every part of my being is being held in my cute form, my smallness.
'hmmmm, right i came in here for void eggs.' He said looking through various chests before trying the fridge. He's making MORE mayonnaise. Oh Ellijah, i'm too selfish to leave, I am so happy that you have decided, against all logic and reason to share your life with me.
You silly silly human.
