Hanahaki Grumbo

Sickness

Grian was really out of it when Iskall finally landed in his base. "Iskall.. I don't feel to well."

Iskall gets this blank expression and looks at Grian like he's insane. "Grian you sick with a flower sickness of course you won't feel well." Iskall is having such a hard time trying to figure what was going on in Grian's mind.

"Ohhh that explains everything.." Grian giggled a bit, the only thing that clicks in Iskall's mind is that the pain is making Grian delusional.

Iskall's eyebrow furrows. They go to Grian's bedroom and lays him down. "Geeze Stress you better get here with the spoon.." They grumbled to their self as they wait for Stress and Mumbo to come along. 

  Stress and Mumbo finally come into the room, both look extremally worried. Stress has more of a sickish look in her eye's actually Stress just looked very STRESSed (I am so sorry). While Mumbo looks much more concerned yet confused about what ever the situation is. Neither of them want to say anything just yet.

  Stress goes over to Grian and she looks like she's about to cry. "Iskall did..." she is unable to finish her sentence due to how close she is to breaking down.

  "Yes, yes you did look very close to this..." Iskall responded and rubs their girlfriends back. 

"Guys what is going on?" Mumbo quickly made his way to Grian, the Redstoners heart nearly breaks due to how pale Grian is looking. He reaches out and gently grabs Grian's hand. He desperately looks at Iskall and Stress. "Guys... Guys what's happening yo him!?" Mumbo feels so panicked that he doesn't even notice that he's crying.

Grian squeezes Mumbo's "why are you sad?" Grian's voice is a bit horse. 

Mumbo takes a moment before speaking. "I'm worried about you Grian"

Iskall puts a hand on Mumbo's shoulder. "Mumbo come with me. Alright?'

Mumbo looks at Iskall. "Okay.." The two hermits walks out of the bed room. "So what is happening to him, Iskall?"

"Grian is sick with a flower sickness called Hanahaki... It causes the person that has unrequited love for someone they will to cough up flower petals and then flowers and then finally the person will die to the flowers if the other person doesn't feel the same way. But there's a chance to save him, if the person feels the same way before the sickness kills him.

"We can save him. Do you know who he likes?" Mumbo was about to run back into the room to ask Grian but Iskall was one step ahead of him. The Swedish hermit grabbed Mumbo by his suit and tie making poor Mumbo choke on his tie, Iskall lets go of Mumbo's tie.

"I don't get why you wear that thing. you seem to choke on it a lot." Said Iskall, fully knowing themself is mainly the reason he chokes on the tie.

"Iskall! We need to help him, why aren't you letting me ask him?" Mumbo was in a full on panic mode.

"Because Stress is talking to him, she's going to get it figured out. Let's give her time to talk to him. Okay?" Iskall said with a soft voice.

"I- Okay fine I'll calm but it's for three minutes only, alright?" Mumbo was already fidgety as he wanted to make sure one of his best friends is all right.

"Yeah, of course." Iskall sighed as they worry about Grian as well.

"ISKALL, MUMBO! COME HERE!" Stress yelled causing the two hermits to dash into the room. What they came into made them want to almost immediately leave. Grian is coughing up wither rose's that are such a dark color it's scary but the worse part each flower is lovingly painted with red, a dark crisom red that anyone could recognize as blood. The air smelled like iron and the deathly aroma of wither rose's. The worst part is how pale Grian is, his normally bright blue eyes look so dark that they almost look black.

"Grian!!!" Mumbo ran over to the poor hermit and placed his hand on Grian's back. He looks up at Stress with teary eye's. "Please. Please just get whoever he loves here! I don't want him to die!" The desperation in Mumbos voice hurt the tears that threatened to fall are so evident.

"Mumbo! Shush! You utter spoon, he likes you!" Stress was crying, she has a hand gently pressed against her neck as she remembers her own pain of everything.

"What!? No-" Mumbo heard the coughing stop right as he said no, he truns to look at Grian who has silent tears streaming down his face, he's clearly not going to live for much longer. "Grian! Grian. I really... I really  like yo-" Mumbo was able to to finish what he was saying as Griab collapses into Mumbos arms. His breathing basically not there and then there's a ping in all the communicators, the ping that was made for when a player died. "NO, NO, NO GRIAN I LOVE YOU TO! PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD!" Mumbo sobbed.

It has been three weeks since then and now Mumbo is sitting in his base staring at a Redstone contraption that isn't working, some tea was spilt on a desk that's near by. The mustache man wasn't able to get sleep for awhile and it's just been really annoying that he can't. Mumbo looks at the Redstone contraption thats sketched out, trying to figure out why it's not working and what he messed up but sleep has been rough when he can't get things out of his mind. He hears someone land in his base, he hasn't even turned around to see who it is, he already has an idea on the person

"So you can't sleep either? What is it this time? A crazy firework build, maybe something with TNT, oh I bet it's a something to do with that golden heart of yours.. No wait! It looks like... A bird? No not a bird it's a brand new way to farm sugar cain!" Mumbo was correct on his guess as he heard the others voice.

He truns to look at the other in the room "so what brings you here Grian? I thought Stress wanted you to stay in bed for at lest another two days and honestly I agree with her, you still look tired as ever" Mumbo chuckled

"Awww, can't I visit my mustache boyfriend? I hadn't gotten a vist from him for a whole four hourssss" Grian whined while going to Mumbo's side.

"Hmm I don't know, I thought my boyfriend was supposed to be resting so he could finish up a resistance war" Mumbo laughs as Griab pouts.

"Mumbooo!" Grian let's out a yelp as Mumbo picks him up and kisses him.
