Wither's POV

It was June 17th, my eighteenth birthday. Today I was finally old enough to find my mate; the one I was destined to love and cherish forever.

I really hoped my mate was the guy I've had my eyes on for two years: my close friend and classmate Skeleton.

To me, Skeleton was perfect. He was gorgeous; milk-colored skin, light grey hair, cyan blue eyes...

I blushed thinking of him. I really hoped he was my mate; because I didn't want anyone else.

I was currently in the park, walking down one of the many paths. Suddenly, an intoxicating scent hit my nose. It was the best scent I've ever smelled: peppermint and vanilla.

I knew immediately this scent was from my mate.

I walked quickly, following the scent...

Skeleton's POV

I was hanging out with Zombie at the park. It was about noon, and we were just sitting on a bench and chatting.

Suddenly, an intoxicating scent hit my nose: a pine forest with a hint of burning wood. I got up, trying to determine where the scent was coming from.

"Skelly... Overworld to Skelly..."

I turned around to see a confused Zombie staring at me.

"What?" I said.

"You stared off into space, I was just making sure you were okay," he said.

"Oh..."

"Why'd you get up so suddenly, anyway?"

"Um..." I said.

"Yeah?" He said, urging me to continue.

"I think my mate is nearby..."

"But how can you tell that? You're only 17!"

"Well, only one of us has to be 18," I pointed out.

"Oh," he said, suddenly looking like he just realized something.

"What?"

He looked at me, a smirk on his face.

"You know who's eighteenth birthday it is today?" He asked.

"Uhhh... No?"

Zombie laughed. "Dude, you forgot Wither's birthday!"

"Oh, shit," I muttered. "But what does that have to with this?"

"I don't know, you tell me," he said, still smirking.

"I don't know what you're talking abo-" I was cut off by a pair of strong arms wrapping around me. I blushed at the feeling. The scent was the closest it could be.

My mate is holding me?

"Mine!" A familiar voice said to a wide-eyed Zombie.

Wither's POV

I followed the scent to where I saw Zombie and Skeleton talking. I realized who my mate was that instant.

Holy fuck. Skelly IS my mate...

"I don't know what you're talking abo-" Skeleton started, but he was cut off by me wrapping my arms around him.

"Mine!" I said to a wide-eyed Zombie.

Zombie looked at Skelly, an amused smirk on his face. "Have an idea on what I was talking about now?"

"No?"

"Your mate is right here. Turn around," Zombie said with the smirk still on his face. Skeleton turned around, his cyan blue eyes meeting my own dark brown eyes.

"W-Wither?"

Skeleton's POV

I looked up, meeting a pair of familiar dark brown eyes.

"W-Wither?" I asked, shocked. He was my mate?!

"I'll leave you two alone," Zombie said, still smirking. He walked away, leaving me and Wither alone.

"Y-You're my mate," I said, looking up at Wither.

"Yup," he said. I noticed a pink blush on his dark grey cheeks. He was blushing? Wither never blushed!

Now I understood what Zombie was talking about. He was saying Wither might be my mate, and that I was finding him because he was now of age.

Zombie had known I had a crush on Wither for several months now, but he only teased me about it when we were by ourselves.

I couldn't feel any more happier, knowing that my crush for nearly two years now was my mate.

"I can't believe it," I said.

"Why not?" Wither asked, his face suddenly falling. "Are you disappointed that I'm your mate?"

"Hell no," I said. "I couldn't be happier."

He looked relieved, but surprised. "Skelly, do you love me back?"

I was too happy to speak, so I nodded.

"Thank Notch," Wither breathed in relief. He looked down at me. "Skelly?"

"Y-yeah?"

"Can I kiss you?" He asked, his blush returning.

"Please do," I answered. He took my face in his hands and pressed his lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck, having to slightly stand on my toes due to our height difference.

My first kiss with Wither, my mate, was the best feeling I've ever experienced.

I wanted to kiss him longer, but unfortunately we both needed to breathe, so we had to eventually pull away.

Wither held me close, and I could hear his heart beat.

Ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump...

"Skelly?" He asked.

"Yeah?"

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

"Hell yes!" I shouted, leaning forward and kissing his cheek. "About time you asked!"

Wither chuckled, planting his own kiss on my cheek. "I wouldn't want anyone else to be my mate," he said softly, sending a shiver of pleasure up my spine. "I love you, Skelly. I love you so freaking much."

I smiled, cuddling closer to him. "I love you 'so freaking much' too, Wither."

We stayed like that, just enjoying each other's touch.

I couldn't ask for a better mate.

3rd POV

Meanwhile, Zombie had seen the whole thing, and snapped a photo of Wither hugging Skeleton, who rested his head on his chest, a happy smile on his face.

Unfortunately, his flash was on, so when he took the photo, it alerted them to his presence. They both turned around in surprise, seeing him behind a tree.

"Zombie? What are you doing?" Skeleton asked slowly.

Zombie laughed, waving his phone. "Wait till everyone else sees this!" And he ran off.

"ZOMBIE I'LL KILL YOU!" Skeleton shouted, intending to run after him. But instead, when he tried to run, Wither just pulled him back into his embrace.

"Let him go," Wither said.

"But Witherrr..."

"Everyone else was bound to find out anyway; just let him show them."

Skeleton huffed. "But then they'll tease the shit out of us."

"You're so cute when you're mad..."

"I'm not cute!" Skeleton protested.

"No, you're right, Skelly. You're not cute..."

Skeleton sighed. "Tha-"

"You're adorable."

Skeleton blushed and looked down.

"What? Can't handle a little teasing?" Wither said, cockily.

Skeleton muttered a curse and snuggled into Wither's chest. "Damn you, you tease..."

"I'll take that as a compliment, Skelly."
