Work Text:
The numbers 4 AM were written in big, red, bold letters across his alarm clock.
“Ughhh, none of this bullshit is working.” He groaned, his head held in his hands, trap blueprints scattered around him.
This was Judelow’s 4th all nighter in a row.
His vision blurred from the lack of sleep as he tried to create a spear trap. His eyes were half closed and unfocused, he was fighting every urge to fall asleep. He needed these traps done, he’d promised Parker.
He picked up some sort of pill, he didn't really know what it was but it helped him stay awake — so he took it, even if it was bad for him.
You see, on the Strength SMP people were always bloodthirsty for kills, which meant only the strongest could survive and Jude was one of them.
Suddenly his communicator buzzed. Who could be texting him at this ungodly hour?
With shaking hands he picked it up — it was no other than Sharpness Conexion.
“The fuck does this guy want at 4 AM?” He muttered to no one in particular, as he read the message.
‘Jude why r all the lightd in ur base on it lke 4am vro’
Due to his lack of sleep, he took a good while to process what Sharpness had said. Ok weird, why was Sharpness up? Despite having no sleep he still had incredible hearing and picked up movement on the floorboards of his base.
Was Sharpness actually in his base? What if he was getting jumped? Maybe Tai was here with another arrow cannon? What if Dolphin was here for her loot back?
His train of thought was interrupted by the sound of his door handle being turned. Oh shit, welp he’s definitely getting killed.
There in his door frame stood an absolutely horrified Sharpness.
”HOLY SHIT JUDE?” He screamed, taking a step forward into Jude’s room.
“Sharpness what the fuck? Get out of my base.” He demanded, fully opening his eyes just in case Sharpness’ intentions were actually to kill him.
“Jude what happened to you, you look like shit.” Sharpness fired back, advancing closer.
“Bro if you’re here to kill me just do it already.” Jude replied, dodging the question as he stared into Sharp’s emerald green eyes.
Was Jude really that fucking stupid?
“I’m not going to kill you.” He finally spoke, walking over to where Jude sat on his chair.
“Yeah, sure, funny one.” He said, giving Sharpness the death stare.
”Jude, when was the last time you slept?” He said, looking around at all of Jude's failed and successful trap designs.
“I- uhh, I don't know? Like 3 days ago… probably.” He said, like it was absolutely nothing, which to him it wasn’t. He’d gone longer without sleep. But to anyone else if you told them that they’d think you're insane.
“Jude fucking low, this isn’t healthy.” He said, concern dripping from his voice.
“Why do you care?” He asked, turning back to his work, continuing to scribble down intricate sketches of traps that he'd probably end up using on Sharpness.
“Don't know, but I do.” Sharpness answered, I mean he wasn't lying, he did care about Judelow no matter how many times he trapped him.
Jude laughed this deep, soft chuckle. “Whatever you say princess.”
“Stop calling me that…” Sharpness knew he didn't hate it, but he couldn't let anyone know he – the top 100 PvPer, was totally into the severs greatest trapper.
“Sharp it's late, go to sleep.” Jude said, dismissing Sharpness’ concerns.
“And what about you?” He answered, raising an eyebrow at the individual in the chair.
“That doesn't matter, I do this all the time.” Jude responded, not looking up from his blueprint, as he continued drawing.
Sharpness just stood there like an idiot, watching. He noticed Jude's hand shaking slightly, his knuckles white from gripping the mechanical pencil so hard. He could just leave, this wasn't his problem anyway, but he'd already decided on forcing Jude to sleep.
“That's it. You're going to sleep.” Sharpness announced, like he was able to just make decisions for Jude.
“Okay princess, I love the confidence, but you can't ma-” He was cut off by Sharpness picking him up in one swift motion.
“AHH SHARPNESS WHAT THE FUCK?!” Jude exclaimed, attempting to kick Sharpness which didn't work at all as he kept a firm grip on Jude. “SHARPNESS FUCKING CONEXION PUT ME DOWN NOW.” He flailed uselessly in Sharpness’ tight grip, his arm muscles defined and strong from years of hardcore training.
Suddenly he was thrown onto his bed, pushed down on his back. He opened his eyes to see none other than Sharpness towering over him, pinning him down by his arms.
“So… we can do this the hard way — or the easy way. You choose .” Sharpness said, a fake ass looking smile plastered across his face.
“OK – first, stop looking at me like that.” Jude said, trying to wriggle free from Sharp's grip.
“Like what?” Sharpness said innocently, still staring at Jude ‘like that’.
“You know, stop playing dumb. Second, get off me. I have work to do.” He stated, attempting to fight Sharpness off of him.
“Nah, I think I'll pass.” Sharpness replied, pressing himself closer to the man under him.
“Sharp, get the actual fuck off me right now.” He said in a thoroughly pissed voice.
“Make me.” Sharpness challenged. He knew damn well what he was doing.
Jude wasn't one to back down from a challenge — maybe because it would hurt his ego and reputation. So he went for it, his eyes turning red opposed to his usual magenta.
He ripped his hand away from Sharpness’ grabbing his shoulder to pull his head down, crashing their lips together aggressively. Sharp tasted of mint and smelled of some expensive cologne.
The kiss was everything both of them had ever secretly wanted, sure, it wasn't perfect — a clash of teeth and fighting each other for dominance with their tongues, but that was all they ever needed.
They continued to make out passionately, occasionally biting each other's lips, hardly letting one another breathe.
Randomly Sharp pulled away, pulling Jude up with him.
“Take your jumper off, now.” He breathed heavily against the smaller man's neck, his breath hot and minty, Jude's hand tangled in Sharp's golden locks which fell over his shoulders.
Jude did as he was told, fumbling to get it off as Sharp sat across from him, just staring.
As soon as that jumper got off Jude, Sharpness lunged forward, going straight for his neck. He buried his head in the crook of Jude’s neck, instantly sucking and biting on the skin there. His hands roamed Jude’s smaller frame, as he continued leaving hickeys down his shoulders.
“Sh-Sharp.” Jude mumbled out, his nails leaving marks on Sharpness’ back.
“Yes?” He answered, removing himself from Jude’s neck.
”Don’t stop.” He said, voice alarmingly deep.
Well damn, that was a statement Sharpness couldn’t argue with.
It was very evident that the two were secretly dating — I mean they’d been dating for about 2 months now, and somehow no one knew (with the exception of Parker) but this server was full of unobservant brick walls, so it wasn't much of a surprise.
“Bro, I’m telling you, I wont fuck up the arrow cannon again, that was a one time thing.” Tai said, trying to convince his teammate — ItsN00B to make yet another arrow cannon with him.
“Fuck no bro, you lost ALL your aura trying to trap Jude last time. You’re still in aura debt.” He reminded him of last time, doubling down on the fact that Tai would never trap Jude.
Tai went quiet as if he was cooking up some sort of master plan.
“Wait! I have an idea.” Tai’s voice suddenly went from disappointment to excitement.
“Im listening.” Noob replied, actually looking up from his communicator, thinking that Tai had an actual good idea for once.
“I can team up with Jude.” He said, over enthusiastically. Yup, Noob was wrong.
“You mean you can try team with Jude.” He answered, already picking out flaws in Tai’s ‘amazing’ idea.
“Ok then.” He said, as if Noob was challenging him. “I will.” He finished, gearing up like he was gonna fight a war. With that and his ego he equipped his elytra, turned around and flew out their base.
“This guy is a fucking brick.” Noob said to himself, watching Tai fly away out into spawn, where he was either gonna get jumped or trapped.
Tai figured that his plan was obviously going to work, because why wouldn’t it? He and Judelow were on good terms.
Were his delusions true? Sorta. Still, now wasn’t the best time to go ask to team.
He creeped toward Judelow's base, paranoid out of his mind, which he assumed was infested with traps, while truth is it really wasn’t — but no one needed to know that.
He camped around spawn for about half an hour before he finally caved. He pulled out his communicator, wanting to know where Jude was.
You whisper to Judelow: whare r u
Judelow whispers to you: in my base
You whisper to Judelow: come outsode i wanna takl
Judelow whispers to you: vro i cany
You whisper to Judelow: why?????
Judelow whispers to you: doin somethng
You whisper to Judelow: ye like whta
You whisper to Judelow: istg if u makinh tarps
Judelow whispers to you: maybee
Tai shoved his communicator back in his pocket, gosh, he's only now remembering why he hates Jude.
Against his better judgment, he entered into Judes base, his paranoia building as he wandered around aimlessly.
Upon turning a corner, he stopped dead in his tracks, eyes going wide. HOLY SHIT WAS HE SEEING THIS RIGHT!? He stared in shock, rubbing his eyes aggressively.
In front of him stood Sharpness leaning over Jude, pinning Jude’s arms above his head, Jude looking as if he wanted to punch the man above him. He squinted slightly, were those… hickeys? Oh my god — OH MY GOD.
He should’ve left then and there, but he stayed. So much for ‘building traps’ he thought. Tai watched as Sharpness teased Jude before finally connecting their lips for a few seconds, they then parted for air, going back in again for another.
Sharpness said something Tai couldn’t quite make out, but it got Judelow mad so it was probably an insult.
“I have stuff to do Sharp, let go.” Jude said, trying to pry Sharpness’ arms off his waist, as Sharp held him by the waist while on his knees, restricting Jude’s movement, not allowing him to work on traps.
“Judey, don’t leave me please.” He pouted, voice soft and caring, nothing like his usual tone. Was this really the sever’s most feared PvPer?
“Sharp, I have to meet up with Parker.” He said, trying to break free, but Sharpness’ grip was too strong.
“Holy shit, Sharplow is real?” Tai muttered to himself, snapping a picture of the two, finally deciding now was the time to dip. But obviously he fucked that up too.
Tai tripped on the tripwire Jude had set up, which he somehow didn't set off while entering his base. The ground opened below him, dropping him down into a kill chamber.
“WHAT THE FUCK?!” Tai screamed, as he plummeted to his death.
“Shit, Tai knows about us.” Sharpness said, panic evident in his voice.
“TAI WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?” Jude screamed back, making sure that Tai could hear him loud and clear. He shoved sharpness back, careful not to hurt him as he walked over to the trap and placed dripstone above Tai, doing significant damage.

“Jude.” Sharpness was pulling at Jude hoodie, trying to get him off his communicator.
“Yeah?” He answered, quite oblivious to the fact Tai could leak their relationship.
“Tai’s gonna tell the whole server about us…” He said, getting pinged again.
“Oh shit.” Jude sounded a lot more concerned than before, as he fumbled for his communicator to message Tai.

DoomedCow: HUH11!??/ JUDE U WHAT
Jude sighed, putting his communicator back in his pocket, turning to face Sharpness — whose face was flushed a deep shade of red.
“Y’know? Maybe the server knowing about us isn't all so bad after all.” He finally said, pressing a soft kiss to Sharpness’ cheek.
“Maybe… but if they try use it against us I'm killing them all.” Sharpness replied, pulling Jude into a tight hug, as he played with the rabbit’s ears.
Welp, their ‘secret relationship’ wasn’t so secret anymore now was it? But that didn’t really matter — as long as he had Sharpness with him nothing else mattered at all.
