Grian Oneshots

24 ~ Flight Lessons 2/2

Grian sat comfortably on the hill, drinking his coffee. It was the middle of the day, so people were confused on why he was drinking coffee so late in the day. But it was Grian, he could've forgotten what time it was and drank coffee at 9pm while doing work in the Nether, and didn't get to sleep until 3am.

It wouldn't of been the first time it happened.

Tango walked up to Grian before asking if he knew where Mumbo was.

"I think Mumbo's at his base, I can go get him for you?" Grian said, smiling to Tango.

Tango nodded, and watched as Grian expertly started gliding and flew to Mumbo's base.

"What was that on his neck?" Tango muttered to himself.

Mumbo and Grian landed a few feet away, Mumbo tripping as he landed. He got up rather quickly.

"Mumbo, how are you clumsier than me?" Grian asked, genuinely confused.

"It only happens when I land." Mumbo muttered, dusting off his suit.

"So, uh... What did you want Mumbo for?" Grian asked Tango.

"I wanted you both to test these potions for me." Tango said, giving them to the Hermits.

Grian nodded, and grabbed the bottle. He undid the cork at the top, and drank the potion quickly. Mumbo followed in Grian's steps, and soon both of them were coughing.

"You could've warned us it'd taste like vomit." Grian said, slightly teasing Tango.

"Sorry. I forgot to mention that." Tango said, before running off.

He really didn't want them to kill him for making them drink the potions.

The two glanced at eachother, before shrugging. Grian checked his effects, and saw the icon for an unknown effect.

He shrugged, and the two started talking to eachother.

"I swear, if you throw another potato into Sahara, I'll buy all of the golden carrots from the villagers at Sahara." Mumbo said shaking his head.

Grian rolled his eyes, but the two walked to Sahara.

"Hey Iskall!" Grian said to the swedish man.

"Oh- Hey Grian." Iskall said, slightly confused. "Mumbo."

Tango was supposed to give them the truth potions. So why were they here and not talking about them?

"Why are you guys here?" Iskall asked.

Grian couldn't stop himself from saying they were just walking around.

"That's weird. I didn't even think before responding..." Grian said to himself. "Is that what the potion from Tango does?"

Mumbo shrugged.

Iskall soon realized something they hadn't accounted for. The potion required someone to be asking a question.

"Oh lord all mighty." Iskall muttered.

Iskall grabbed the two and dragged them to the meeting room in Sahara, before locking them inside.

"Why did Iskall do that?" Grian asked.

"No clue." Mumbo said, sitting down in Grian's seat.

Grian stood to the right of his own seat as he glared at Mumbo.

"Just because we're dating, means you can sit in my seat at Sahara." Grian said.

"Then why don't you sit on my lap?"

"Because someone could see, and get the wrong impression." Grian answered.

Mumbo raised an eyebrow. That was way too truthful on Grian's end.

"Grian, are you okay?" Mumbo asked standing up and looking at his boyfriend.

"I don't know." Grian admitted.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm saying the truth to questions asked of me without thought and its scaring me." Grian said, looking at the table. "I mean, what if I say something and hurt someone's feelings by accident?"

Mumbo pulled Grian towards him, and held him.

Iskall stood outside the door, slightly panicking.

Grian loved his friends, and he never liked saying things that could hurt others, so him being forced to say the truth would've been terrifying.

Grian was always mostly truthful, but he kept his past hidden, so any wrong question could violate his privacy. And possibly destroy his trust in Tango, or anyone on that matter, for making him drink the truth potion.

Iskall walked away from the room, and went to get Tango.

They truly hadn't thought about this fully.

...

Tango and Iskall arrived at the Sahara meeting room, to see Mumbo holding Grian as Grian leaned against Mumbo's chest.

"Here. To get rid of the potion effect." Tango said, handing Grian and Mumbo the bottles of milk.

Both drank it, though Grian seemed confused.

It was silent for a bit, and Grian saw the regretful emotions written on his friend's faces.

"The potions were truth potions, weren't they?" Grian asked looking into Tango's eyes.

Tango nodded and looked away ashamed.

"Why?" Grian asked. "Did you want to ask me something that I would avoid?"

Pain and sadness was evident in Grian's voice, as well as his eyes.

"No-" Tango tried. "We just wanted for you and Mumbo to finally tell eachother how you felt. It was getting awkward knowing that you both liked eachother and wouldn't tell the other."

Grian's face changed to confusion.

"Was it that easy to see?" Grian asked.

"Your entire skin would turn to a slightly pinker shade Grian, it was easy to tell for you." Iskall said. "And Mumbo literally blushes everytime someone even mentions you."

"Mumbo, why did we not see it sooner???" Grian asked turning to look at Mumbo.

Mumbo shrugged.

"Wait wait wait." Tango said stopping Grian. "'Sooner'? What, do you guys know now?"

Both of them nodded.

"The night we were stuck in the flight arena, we confessed to eachother." Mumbo said, slightly smiling. "I'm kind of suprised you guys didn't notice that we've literally gotten more clingy to eachother."

Iskall and Tango just looked at eachother, before looking to Grian and Mumbo.

"Grian said that you two were dating when you were in his seat." Iskall said, realizing that they'd overlooked it.

Grian nodded, slightly confused on how Iskall knew.

"How could you over look something like that!?" Tango yelled at Iskall.

"I don't know! I was more focused on the part we could've violated Grian's privacy!" Iskall yelled back.

Grian shifted, slightly nervous because of the yelling.

"Hey, go yell elsewhere. Grian doesn't like yelling." Mumbo cut in.

The two looked to Grian before nodding and leaving.

Mumbo held Grian to his chest as he smiled to the shorter.

"So what do you want to do now?" Mumbo asked.

"I don't know. Maybe go cook some brownies?"

"We're going to have enough brownies to feed a nation at this point." Mumbo teased, kissing Grian's forehead.
