So uhm, I had a random idea about this. So in this short-fic its been like, a few weeks since Beef and Sharp get to even had a conversation with Colle since a lot is happening to him. I just thought the three of them would at least chat before Demons Steves became a thing cause yea-

Also uh- Zania_thy_Roye here's your request :'DDD

════ ❀•°❀°•❀ ════

" So Sharp, you think you're free this weekend? " Beef asked as he lay his back at the wall. I sighed as I thought of the schedule, I don't think I have anything to do for the weekend. Pretty sure that some of the Red Advisers can handle the academy without me. Wait....

" Yes, why'd you ask though? " I asked when turning my head to face him. " Well, " He started off as he walked towards me, placing down his hands on the desk and talked " We've been busy and we barely gotten our own time to have a nice conversation with each other. " Beef said as he looked at me, we stared for a bit but we cut our contact.

" I guess I can hang out with you then, I don't think I have anything to do anyways. " I said as I slid my notebook into my messenger bag. Beef then looked at me again, " ....What's up? "

" Do you, by any chance, seen Colle around the Desert village? " Beef asked as it surprised me.

Not surprised for Beef to be asking where Colle is, no. Beef is always a caring friend for Colle and he honestly fits the role for being his big brother. But surprised for Colle. Things have been going on so quickly after defeating the Last Inferno, even for Colle. I barely get to talk to him cause he's been running around in every kingdom cause of the problems that's been appearing in front of him.

" No, he's been busy, very busy that he can't even come by to talk for a bit when we saw each other. "

We both stood there in silence. Now that I think about it, even when Colle is running around in every kingdom, shouldn't he be tired of it? Does he even get rest? Probably, if the leaders even gave him a spare house that is. But, even if everything is going problematic for Colle, doesn't he even need help? 

" Where do you think he is? "

"Last time I heard about him, Genesis told me that he went to the Obsidian Citadel. " I answered as Beef stood straight. He was about to say something but I cut him off " Genesis also said that he went there with someone, something about being one of the chromatic Steves. "

Beef looked at me in surprised " He met another kind of Steve?! Why is Colle meeting more new Steves than us all of the sudden? " Beef blurted out at me as I try to keep my posture. He cleared his throat and apologize. " Its fine, but I do have the same question as you though. " I replied as I turned around to the door.

" How about we go there and talked to him for bit and asked. I'm sure he's doing alright at the Obsidian Citadel now. "

" Guess that's a good idea. "

⚘

" This is it. " Obsidian Captain stopped and the other Red Steves as well, all were standing in front of a small cabin with a separate banners of Red and Blue. " Mind you that Colle and his friend haven't came out of there since they asked to stay. " Obsidian Captain said as it left both of the Elites confused, but they didn't ask anyway.

Sharp thanked the Obsidian Captain before leaving to go to the throne room of their leader. Both Red Elites stood there for a minute and stared at each other, before nodding. Sharp walked over to the front door and knocked.

" Colle, are you in there? " Sharp asked before knocking again after receiving nothing but silence as his response. " Colle, its me Sharp. Beef is here too, and we just want to talk to you for a minute. " Sharp added but there was no response again.

" Maybe the Obsidian Captain chose the wrong house. " Sharp said while looking at Beef, who crossed their arms " No way he'll take us to a wrong house. The Obsidian Captain has a good memory and is honest to everyone, I know that cause he told me. " Beef blurted out defensively with the tone of his voice filled with sass, shutting his eyes closed and puffed after that.

Sharp just stared at Beef, confused. ' Gosh what am I witnessing from my friend... ' Sharp thought before mentally face palming himself from the sudden action Beef did. Both stood there for a minute before the door opened slowly with a creaking noise. It caught both of the Red Steves attention and quickly turned at the front door.

They were both greeted with a Steve, not a Steve that they knew but a Steve that is inverted to their own color. They wore a jacket with a grayish color of white along with a hood and sleeves that were sky blue. They wore black trousers with their silver belt tied around their waist and brown boot with belts. Their hair was vibrant blue like the river lake. A small light blue halo was floating above them and small wings behind their back.

Both of the Red Steves examine the Blue being, they didn't say a word. They was feelin uncomfortable with the staring and cleared their throat.

" Are you two, uh, friends with Colle? " The unknown Steve asked as beef looked up to him. " Yes we are, and are you the Steve who came here with him? " The Steve nodded from the answer and fully opened the door. " My name is Seer, I'm a Blue Steve who carries the spirits to the World Beyond. " He introduced himself, while Sharp still examine him, but responded anyways.

" Nice to meet you, Seer. I'm Sharp and the other Red Steve behind me is Beef. " Sharp introduced him and his friend, who gave a simple " Sup " for the new Steve. " So, you're the Steve that came here with Colle right? " Sharp asked and the Blue Steve gave a simple nod.

" Yeah, we had a bit of a problem to fix and came here. " He said and their head perked up. " Oh yeah by the way, the corruption that your Red King has and the other leaders are now gone if you haven't heard. Me and Colle fixed it. " He stated out as it surprised  both Red Steves. ' They fixed the what- ' Beef thought as he shook that thought away, though still had questions on how they did it.

" That's actually great, " Sharp said as he gave a smile " Though we're here for something else. Is Colle around? " Sharp added and asked Seer, who gave a heavy sigh " Yeah, he's in here, not sure if he wants to talk though. " Seer stepped out of the doorway and let Sharp and Beef in.

" What do you mean by that? "

" Well, after dealing with the 'corruption' that has been going these days we wanted to have a break in the Citadel since... well a lot has happened in the fight of Dread Steve. " 

" ... Like what? "

Seer went silent for a bit, " I.. really don't want to talk about it, I can guess that Colle doesn't want to as well. " The bluenette responded, his voice was soft but there was a hint of fear in his tone. Sharp noticed and said it was fine and they all walked in the small living room in the house.

Colle was there, sitting on the couch. He was reading a book, or seems to be spacing out. Both of the Steves never thought of him wearing his casual clothes, his pastel blue shirt with a black star on the middle along with his brown shorts and red sandals. Seer cleared his throat a bit as Colle turned around to him, eyes widened as he saw both of the Elites standing behind the Blue Steve. " They came here for you. " Seer said as he scratched the back of his neck, looking at Colle who closed his book and placed on his lap.

" Uhm, I'll leave you three be. "

With that, Seer quickly walked upstairs with his head down, leaving the three alone in the room. It was silent for a good minute, both Sharp and Beef sat on each side of Colle and looked at him for a minute. The collector avoided their eye contact and began to feel nervous about it, slightly in a panic attack in his head; when he felt a hand on his shoulder, he jumped and his breathing hitched for a moment.

" Woah buddy, its alright. Take a breath. "

Colle closed his eyes and breathed for a moment, letting a hand rubbed his back to calm him down. Colle felt a his hand was held and was giving soft massages. He opened his eyes as he looked at both of the Elites next to him, both of them had a concerned look on their faces. " S-sorry, uh,  I wasn't feeling right for moment there. " Colle apologized as he scratched the back of head.

Sharp only squeezed Colle's arm for a bit. " Like its not obvious. " Colle turned his head to Sharp, then to Beef. Letting out a sigh and he leaned his head over to Beef's shoulder, closing his eyes as he calmed down.

" Can we just, stay here for a bit? " He asked as he snuggled in closer to Beef. " Its been, quite a week for me... "

Sharp and Beef looked at each before nodding. Beef laid his head above Colle's crimson colored hair while Sharp laid on Colle's shoulder, they stayed there for a couple of minutes before dozing off to sleep.

Seer walked down the stairs and checked on the Red Steves, smiling softly as he saw them sleeping on the couch next to each other.

" Glad to see Colle getting some rest after everything " Seer hummed before walking back up to his room.
