Grian Oneshots

136 ~ Little Bunny

It was a simple sentence.

Most would've found it odd.

But he found it terrifying.

"A little bunny told me about the pranker's past."

Grian felt himself stiffen as he stared at Ex.

...He was back...?

Mumbo grabbed onto Grian's hand and stared down at the panicking blonde. Of course, the panic was internal, but Mumbo knew the signs.

The way Grian stiffened, how his hands clenched and unclenched out of fear. The slight shake in his shoulders, and the way Grian's smile had fallen. The way Grian had subconsciously looked around to make sure where everyone was.

Grian was panicking.

Mumbo knew Grian hated panicking in front of others, and he also knew the things he said when panicking. Grian's past was supposed to be washed away with Sam's death.

Mumbo pulled Grian into a hug, deciding that it would be told by Ex if they left. Mumbo ran his fingers through Grian's hair, as Grian began to shake. The tears began falling soon after, and Grian clung to Mumbo tighttly. Mumbo focused on Grian even though there were eyes on them. Leaving now would be hard anyway. once Grian starts crying, if you try to move he'll stay.

Mumbo had leaned down at some point, and began whispering reassurances. He knew some of the Hybrid hermits would most likely hear, but Grian needed to hear them.

It didn't take long for Grian to pass out in his arms, and for Mumbo to pick Grian up, to the best of his abilities. He wasn't Doc or Grian himself, so it took a lot of his strength to do so. Sometimes he wondered why Grian was stronger then Doc, but he always remembered part of Grian's past was to due with it.

When Mumbo began paying attention to the Hermits, most had left, with Ex, and Ren was currently trying to calm down Doc, with Joe doing the same with Iskall and Impulse. Keralis was talking with X, so he assumed Keralis was trying to calm down X.

"...I think you guys could tell, but Grian's past was shit." Mumbo let the swear slip out, and didn't even try to stop himself. The other Hermits nodded and looked to the ground.

"Let's get him back to his base." X said. The others nodded, and X typed something on his communicator. Grian and Mumbo were teleported to Grian's mansion first, but the other slowly trickled in.

Mumbo walked to Grian's living space, in the righthand wing, and sat with Grian on the couch. Grian was still attached to Mumbo, so there wasn't much of a choice. Grian was moved to be on his lap, with him leaned against his chest. Some of the Hermits followed, others stayed back in the main hall.

X sat in an armchair across from Mumbo and Grian. Impulse and Scar made their way to the kitchen, already knowing their way around.

"What's the summary of what happened?" X asked. Mumbo hesitated, Grian's privacy was important to him. But Grian also knew the importance of not leaving anything out.

"To put it short? Grian had a bunny Hybrid friend who manipulated and abused him." Mumbo said. He practically heard the panic that engulfed the room.

"Is he okay...?" Impulse asked.

"As long as you don't mention his past."
