57 ~ X and Grian Swap

Requested: No.

~

Grian's life was seen as easy, because no one knew the amount of work he did.

It wasn't until Tango had Grian and Xisuma switch bodies as a test, that people understood how long and how Grian worked.

...

Grian felt dizzy, as he leaned against the wall go the chamber.

After becoming stable enough, he looked at Tango. He was suprised when it seemed that the entire world shifted.

"This is really weird-" Grian's voice said.

Except it wasn't Grian speaking. He looked over and saw his body. His body looked over at him as well.

"Tango what did you do!?" Both of them said.

"I swapped your bodies. Grian is in control of Xisuma's body, Xisuma with Grian's. I want to see how long you guys can live each other's lives. It should only be a few days, so I'll check in on you guys every few hours." Tango explained.

"But I'm an admin, I don't know if Grian knows how-" Xisuma said.

"I do, but what about all of my projects?" Grian responded.

"You guys can leave schedules for each day here. You guys should start getting them done." Tango said, walking away.

The two quickly did it, except Grian's was more of a list of things he had to do, no specific order. The swapped the books, and Grian left quickly. Xisuma glanced over the list, before having to do a double take.

Grian's list was really long. It maybe had 30 things on it.

Xisuma put on the elytra, and quickly flew to Grian's base.

He landed at the bottom of the base, and looked at the first thing on the list.

"'Build the third tower to the same size as the others.' [Note: Theres a concrete Maker at Sahara]" Xisuma read.

...

Grian checked the server for viruses again.

There was 5 hours until the first day ended. He'd already done everything Xisuma would do.

He stood up and stretched.

"I could get used to this height." Grian muttered.

Grian walked to the edge of the base and flew to his base.

Xisuma stood confused as Sahara, so Grian turned and landed next to Xisuma.

"You need help?" Grian asked.

Xisuma looked to Grian wiyh suprise.

"How do I do this?" Xisuma asked, looking to the 27th on the list.

27- Make "Did you Dye?" Boxes
28- Get Sand & Gravel to give to Iskall
29- Make concrete boxes for Sahara
30- Prank Mumbo

"27? That's at the Hippie commune. The red barn with all the levels." Grian said, smiling to Xisuma. "For 28, just leave it by the concrete makers. For 29, put them on the wooden boards in the meeting room. I can do 30 since I'm free. Mumbo will know it was me, anyway."

"Your free?" Xisuma said looking to him suprised.

"Yeah?"

Xisuma stared in suprised, and Grian slowly slipped away.

...

Tango stared in suprise at Grian and Xisuma.

Grian seemed restless, and Xisuma was tired and trying not to pass out.

"What happened?" Tango asked.

"Grian does like 30 things a day, and they all are physically taxing." Xisuma said.

Grian shrugged.

"Thats just the things that needed to be finished today. I usually loose track of what I do." Grian said, bouncing his leg.

"I'm going to try to swap the machine to swap your minds again." Tango said, walking away from them.

"How are you so chaotic while doing all of that?" Xisuma asked.

"I've just done it for so long." Grian shrugged.

"How long?"

"Uh... Twelve years?" Grian suggested. "I started building when I was 13, usually just helping around my uncle's wood shop."

"How old are you? You look 18?"

"Oh. I'm 26."

"I'm sorry what-"

...

X ended up passing out from exhaustion by the third day, with Iskall and Mumbo freaking out and messaging Grian. Grian was laughing at the situation, before explaining to his friends.

"X! How can you be laughing!?" Iskall yelled, holding Grian's body like he was dying.

"Guys- Me and X switched bodies, but kept our stamina. So, X passed out." Grian explained, trying not to die in the corner.

"So that's why you've been pranking me instead." Mumbo muttered.

"Well that's even worse! X is passed out!" Iskall yelled, letting go of Grian's body.

Grian just laughed more at their frustration. Mumbo began laughing as well, resulting in Iskall laughing too.

Once they calmed down enough, Grian took X to Keralis to make sure he was okay. He quickly explained it to Keralis, after tripping over his own feet and hitting his head on the ceiling a few times. Keralis shook his head but didn't question it.

Tango and Doc arrived to see X passed out in a a bed, Keralis and Grian talking, while Bdubs glared at X for being the one in a bed. He really wanted to sleep.

"So Grian- No, X." Doc said. "So X is physically exhausted because you two basically switched places?"

Grian nodded.

"How many physically taxing things do you put yourself through?" Keralis asked, becoming more worried for the blonde.

"A lot, but I'm fine. Like I told X, I've done a lot of physically taxing things since I was 13. Though I do tend to need breaks every now and again, I usually do enough to cover for me taking a break. That's just who I am."

Grian shrugged, and thought through his mental checklist of items he needed to get done. Some of it X had done, but he was a little behind schedule. Sure his anxiety made him want to go out and finish the rest of the items that he needed to get done by the end of the month, but he didn't need to rush it. He was only slightly behind after all.

"You literally gave X a list of 30 things you needed to be done. I think you should take it down a notch." Tango said, causing Grian to snap back to the world around him.

"30 items? If that was just for the one day-" Keralis started.

"It was. I know, it's harmful. But I take good care of myself, and it's actually beneficial to my mental health." Grian cut him off.

"How is it beneficial to your mental health?" Doc asked, for Keralis.

"I have anxiety and I'm a scatterbrian Doc, having a list of everything I need to do within a certian timeframe helps keep my anxiety in check." Grian said.
