Grian Oneshots

43 ~ Symbol of ^$÷%'3:$#@÷_&:^

A tattoo on Scar's upper chest freaked Grian out. It was a simple star, but the points were dots. It was a symbol used in the Watcher realm.

The symbol of  Iᒲᒲ𝙹∷ℸ ̣ ᔑꖎ╎ℸ ̣ ||

Grian had the same tattoo on a scar on his side. From where a sword was stabbed into his lung and heart through a ribcage.

He didn't want to bring it up, because he'd have to bring up his own.

But after he saw it, he swore to protect Scar. (Yeah, ep1 of last life says otherwise, Gman.)

...

Grian panicked as he heard about Scar. Scar had fallen from a significant height, and broken his leg. Ren and Impulse glanced at eachother, so they knew that Grian was actually freaking out about Scar's fall. They weren't even really friends.

They left Grian to do whatever he was doing, and told Scar about Grian's freak out.

This continued throughout season 6, and into season 7 before someone confronted Grian.

"Grian, why are you so worried about my health?" Scar finally asked, catching Mother Spore off guard.

Both teams were there, and Grian was embarrassed to say the least.

"Hey, maybe later." Grian tried.

"No, I wanna know too. You get freaked out whenever Scar gets hurt, and you have since the beginning of season 6." Impulse interjected.

"Impulse, please no-" Grian tried again.

"If I didn't know any better, and if Mumbo didn't exist, I'd say your fraternizing with the enemy." Ren suggested.

"First, I am not in live with Scar or Mumbo. Second, you literally brought your boyfriend onto the Mycelium resistance." Grian said, justifying his claims.

Doc shrugged.

"Grian, is it because of that one thing?" Mumbo asked.

"If by that one thing you mean the thing I would kill you to keep secret, then yes."

Mumbo nodded.

"Really?" Doc asked, suprised. "I thought you'd tear the world apart for eachother."

"Oh I would." Grian said. "Its just that one thing he can die for."

"I really don't know why your so afraid of-" Mumbo started, an arrow sprouting from his forehead stopped him.

Grian put his bow back into his inventory, and disregarded what Mumbo was saying. It had the opposite effect, as everyone started laughing.

Grian got irritated, and just threw his hand up giving up. He just walked away from the groups and waited for them to stop laughing. Mumbo gathered his things, before looking for Grian, finding Grian looking at the clouds on the sign.

"You okay?" Mumbo asked.

"I'm fine. Hope I didn't hurt you." Grian said, laughing slightly.

"Can I ask why Scar means so much to you?"

"...Its been forever since I've met a wizard, and its Scar. Who can't like Scar?"

"Life."

Grian laughed at the joke, but smiled to himself.

"...Can I ask about your mark?"

"...Already did. But I got stabbed. Collapsed lung and punctured heart. Still somewhat have an issue breathing..." Grian said, closing his eyes.

Grian didn't know Mumbo's reaction, but he heard a sharp inhale and cough from behind him.

"Hey X." Grian said, not opened his eyes.

"Its just me."

"Kind of thought so." Grian said, before muttering. "Of course God hates me enough that everyone heard."

He heard Ren's laugh, and slightly smiled.

"Theres only me, X, and Scar here."

"Ask away! Might as well..." Grian said.

"You were stabbed in the heart and lungs?" Xisuma asked.

"Yeah. 0/5 stars. Would not recommend."

"Who did it?" Ren asked.

"A jerk that I knew in highschool." Grian said.

"Sam?" Mumbo asked.

Grian nodded, saying it had been Sam.

"I died. No big deal though, we had a necromancer at the school... hooray..."

"Why do you sound like she cursed you or something?" Ren asked.

"Because she basically did. I don't age, and in turn am forever short."

"Then what your really protective over is the way I was revived-" Scar said, before turning red.

"Excuse me, you died and was revived as well?" Xisuma asked.

"You really don't read people's player files?" Scar asked.

"Not- Not really..." Xisuma admitted.

"Well I had a disease that basically destroyed my heart. I was brought back and am better than ever!" Scar said, holding his hand up to the sky.

Grian opened his eyes as he saw Xisuma take the opportunity. Lightning struck Scar, causing the hermit to be smoldering while everyone around him laughed. Scar eventually joined them, playfully punching Xisuma's arm.

Grian sat up and look at his friends. He was happy to admit the truth. Even if everyone would die around him and Scar, he would do anything to not be alone anymore.

After all, the mark was nothing more than a curse.

The curse of immortality.
