Midnight (Ahasbands/Redwood) 🌺 ✍️ ❤️

Woooo Martyn and Mumbo but from BatDoH (BDoubleO and the Daughter of Hades) (Last Life PJO AU lol)

They are the silliest of guys

They're like 16 in this btw

Mumbo was woken up by tapping on his window.

Previously, he had been having a very fun dream with vague ideas for a machine that automatically repaired swords, so he was (rightly enough) mildly annoyed to be woken up.

He glanced sideways to the other side of the Hephaestus cabin. Impulse was still sleeping soundly, mumbling something about Skizz and occasionally kicking out randomly in his sleep, so thankfully he hadn't been bothered by the-

Tap.

Mumbo sighed, sitting up and peering out of the window as another pebble hit it. Of course. The dark haired boy thought with a roll of his eyes, but he wasn't actually annoyed.

Sat a few feet away from the window was a very familiar boy from the Zeus cabin, reaching down to pick up another pebble. His blonde hair was incredibly messy, poking out at random angles, which made it incredibly clear that the other boy had only recently gotten out of bed (or he'd just forgotten to brush it, which was entirely plausible). Martyn.

Martyn's ocean blue eyes lit up as he spotted Mumbo at the window, and he grinned, shooting a smile in the direction of the other boy (who actually liked Martyn's smile a lot).

From the other side of the glass, he could hear a muffled cheer. "Mumbo!"

Mumbo sighed again, smiling and waving back at Martyn before getting off of his bed and making his way out of the cabin.

By the time he had left the small structure reserved for the children of Hephaestus, Martyn was already standing in front of him. "Hiiii." The blonde grinned.

"Martyn, it is-" Mumbo paused for a moment, holding up the small clock at the end of his chain necklace and squinting at it. "3am. Why are you-" The black haired boy broke off to let out a yawn. "Awake? And throwing rocks at my window?"

Martyn shrugged. "Ehhh. Couldn't sleep. And I was bored, so..."

"So you woke me up?" Mumbo said with a laugh, rubbing his eyes with another yawn as he attempted to wake himself up properly.

"Uh- yep. I wanted to show you something I figured out I can do! Come on!" His friend said brightly.

"Can it... not wait till morning?" Mumbo queried warily. "Or be done here?"

"If we do it in the middle of the cabins, it'll wake everyone up." Poor, poor phrasing. "I was thinking of showing you in the woods maybe? Nobody will get woken up, is all- it's pretty bright." There was a pause. "I don't know, dude. But- it's really cool! I promise! Takes a while to prepare, buuut..." Martyn trailed off, looking up at Mumbo with a hopeful expression and nodding in the direction of the woods.

Mumbo sighed for what felt like the thousandth time in this conversation. Damnit, I can't say no to that face- "Fine." Martyn's smile widened.

"Let's go then!" The son of Zeus said cheerfully before grabbing Mumbo's wrist and practically dragging his friend towards the forest nearby.

The walk into the forest was a few minutes long at most. Unsurprisingly, the tree-littered area was very spooky at night, with every shadow looking like some monster that wouldn't mind taking out two unsuspecting demigods in the middle of the night.

Multiple times Mumbo considered turning around and heading back to his cabin (his warm, warm cabin with his bed in it), but then then he would glance sideways and see Martyn's giddy expression- the other boy was practically about to explode with excitement-, or the adorable hop that Martyn did every five steps, and he decided against it.

Finally, they reached a clearing in the middle of the forest and Martyn started-

Gathering up a pile of pebbles?

"You know there's pebbles back at the cabins, right?" Mumbo said wryly, watching as the blonde pushed aside a handful of dirt to pick up some pebbles for his pile.

"I know that but there's more here. And I didn't just come here to show you pebbles, loser. There's this thing I can do where I like- imbue? Is that the right- screw it, sure. I can imbue them with electricity and energy, and when I break one of them it sets of a reaction and breaks the rest, and then it releases like- orbs of light! They look like fireflies but a bit bigger." Martyn explained. "But they're also really bright, which is why I couldn't show you back at camp."

"Oh. Cool?" The raven-haired boy said with a shrug, watching until Martyn stopped collecting small rocks. The blonde made an odd hand gesture, causing his hand to light up with glowing energy, before tapping the rocks lately and then crushing the smallest pebble he could find.

Immediately, a series of warmly glowing spheres of light shot into the air before floating around them in a rather mesmerising circle.

They really did look like fireflies if you didn't look too closely.

Mumbo glanced around breathlessly- it really was a pretty sight-, reaching out and lightly brushing one of the orbs of light with his hand.

It didn't burn him like he had maybe expected it to (he had to try touching it, for science)- it just left him with an odd tingling sensation in his fingertips for a moment.

"Wow, this- really cool." He muttered, waving his hand lightly through one of the orbs again with an awed expression. And a really intriguing scientific phenomenon- engineering this must have been difficult- no, Mumbo, science stuff can wait. Just enjoy this, it's really cool.

Mumbo blinked as one of the orbs came to rest on his outstretched palm, staring at it in amazement.

He glanced back at Martyn to see what he was doing-

And stared in surprise as he saw that Martyn was already watching him with a small smile. The other demigod immediately coughed awkwardly and looked away, sitting down at the base of a tree and holding out one of his hands for a light sphere to land on as well.

Mumbo paused for a moment, attempting to stop the orb in his hand from floating away with an exaggerated hand gesture before sitting next to Martyn. The blue-eyed boy smiled, clearly slightly surprised. Mumbo said nothing as Martyn awkwardly moved closer and rested his head on the raven-haired boy's shoulder.

Nothing needed to be said.

The whole scene was definitely an incredible sight, and the pair stayed there for a couple hours more at least, enjoying the peaceful serenity of the forest and the light.

They truly are the guys ever <3

If it helps visualise the light orbs btw, they kinda look like glowing balls of golden fire- ish

Hope you enjoyed! :D

Yes Martyn woke Mumbo up at 3am to show him a silly thing he can do with his magic
