Chapter Text
Sword’s alarm blared its unbearable noise as soon as the clock struck 5:10 AM, Sword groaned as he smacked the snooze button. Another day of training… ugh, waking up early was the worst, last night gave him a headache for some reason. Welp, time to get up and ready.
Sword hopped off his hammock and stretched, putting on some slippers and heading down the stairs.
Little did he know… venomshank was going to be VERY different this morning.
Sword was surprised to see his mentor and master standing in the kitchen and wishing something, ingredients littered the counter around the deity.
Sword cleared his throat before finally greeting his mentor, trying to seem less confused than he is.
“Good morning Master Venomshank!” Sword said, Venomshank turned around to face his mentee, even with a mask on, Venomshank looked surprised.
“Sword? What are you doing awake at this hour?!” Venomshank replied with a surprised tone, he seemed to be confused too, but why? Didn’t venomshank tell sword to wake up early yesterday?
“You…told me to? You said I have to wake up early today for training?” Sword explained, he stared at the bowl in Venomshank’s hand, was that… pancake batter? Venomshank was usually too busy to cook! This was weird, was today a special event?
“…oh well, since you’re already awake, you can go play until I finish making breakfast.” Venomshank said as he proceeded to continue making pancakes.
Sword sighed and walked out of the kitchen, but he then processed what Venomshank had said, what did he mean “Go play”?! Sword was a grown ass man?!
Whatever, sword thought, Venomshank was probably meant to train or something. Sword then headed back upstairs to change his clothing.
——————-After Sword changed——————
Sword stepped outside as he adjusted his cape, gosh it was dark out, well it was very early in the morning…
Sword began his solo training with some stretches, needing to make sure he won’t pull any muscles as he trained. After a few quick pushups and stretches Sword began to swing his weapon at the dummy nearby, slashing it and hitting it. Everything was going well outside (despite it being deathly cold for since it is winter and he was only wearing a cape, a tank top and pants as protection from the intense cold).
It wasn’t until Venomshank suddenly ran outside, seemingly panicked.
“Linked Sword! What are you doing outside in the cold!” Venomshank called out to sword from the doorway, Sword was incredibly confused, didn’t venomshank say to train? Why was he so mad about it?
“Didn’t you tell me to go train?” Sword replied to his mentor in confusion as he walked towards him, why was Venomshank acting so weird? And why was Venomshank acting so weird towards HIM!
Venomshank gave sword an unamused look, pulling sword into the building by the wrist and shutting the door behind them. “What if you caught a cold or got frostbite!” Venomshank scolded lightly, he seemed to be concerned.
And just as Sword was about to ask what was up with him, Venomshank suddenly lifted sword up by under his arms.
“Wh-what are you doing!” Sword asked in confusion, why was Venomshank doing?! Was he going to punish Sword?!
But to Sword’s utter shock and confusion, Venomshank simply brought him to the living room and set him down in the rug gently, gently rubbing his back. “Just wait here, sword, breakfast is almost finished anyway.” Venomshank mumbled, before proceeding to walk back to the kitchen.
And sword was left confused as fuck, WHAT was that? Why would Venomshank just leave him be like this? Usually if sword disobeyed venomshank, sword would get a ruler to the wrists or extra training?! What was that
