"Hey Scar!" Grian yelled as he gracefully landed beside his boyfriend, his wings folding in, "Do you want to join me in a visit to X-i-suma" he offered, and Scar smiled, "Of course! Any special reason?" He asked and the blonde's smile widened. "I want to start my own server!" The parrot replied enthusiastically.

He had been meeting with the EVO crew, a sort of combined trauma-bonding therapy session. They had all encouraged him to start a server as a way to deal with his admin-trauma that Evolution SMP left behind. At first he had declined, but he later saw it as an opportunity to pick up an old hobby and move past his fears. He agreed on one condition: He needed Xisuma's help to make the new server completely Watcher safe. He could not afford to take any chances.

"Oh my God Gri! That sounds awesome!" Scar eagerly hugged him with a dopey smile, "Let's go visit Xisuma then!" He yelled and the couple took off, the parrot with his wings and the elf with his elytra. The two landed in front of the admin's door and the smaller knocked. Shuffled movements could be heard inside, and footsteps neared the door.

The door opened, and the two hermits were met with their admin, "Hello, Grian and Scar, what can I do for you?" He asked, his eyes visibly smiling.

"I was wondering if you'd do me a favor X," Grian started, following X's gesture to enter the base, "Can you help me start a server? A short-term one, I want to get back into my admin hobbies, my old server thought it might be a good idea" he explained, X nodding along and Scar's smile still on his face. Grian was explaining more of his idea to a new server going by the 'Third Life', when a small statue in the corner caught his eye, a familiar face met him.

"What's that, X-eye-suma?" He asked, interrupting himself. The admin's gaze followed his finger and his eyes locked at the statue. "Oh, that is a statue of my god, Xelqua" he explained and Grian nearly choked, he knew the figure had looked familiar, but he hadn't expected it to be himself, he hadn't expected it to be as familiar as looking in a mirror.

"You have a problem with that Grian?" The voidwalker said with a harsh, judging tone, Grian flinched back, "I'm sorry X, I just got some bad experiences with Watchers" the watcher explained, trying not to grimace at the thought of X worshipping him - of course he knew the Watchers were worshipped, but he had always been different, so that his admin was worshipping him was quite startling.

"Oh, I'm sorr-" X started but was quickly interrupted. "Don't apologize X, I don't need your pity, will you help me with my server idea?" He asked and the admin smiled. "Of course, what do you need"
"I need extra shield, against the Watchers, they infiltrated my old server and I don't want it to happen again"
"Of course Grian" X assured, and the couple left again.

Grian was bored, he had a lot of projects to finish, but he was procrastinating on them, especially sorting out his 'chest-monster'and building the back of his base.
"I want to prank someone-" he thought to himself, "-but who?" The parrot skimmed through whoever was online and his eyes landed on the bee-clad admin. A mischievous smile formed on his lips as he transformed to the unmistakable Watcher-Form. He teleported to the admin - in the middle of the futuristic honey towers he called his base.

"Hello admin" he said and the admin jumped.
"Jeez! You can't scare me like tha-" the bee started, thinking it to be a hermit, but paused when his eyes landed on the Watcher he worshipped. "Y-y-you're Xelqua!" He exclaimed and the Watcher smiled, " I am"
"I worship you" Xisuma managed to stutter before straightening his back, trying to gain back his composure.

"I know, that's why I'm here Xisuma" The winged hermit replied, careful not to pronounce the admins name in any way that would give him away. "Oh, I haven't done anything wrong, have I?" The voidwalker asked, voice trembling.
"No, I'm here to give you a reward for being such a devoted follower of mine" He smiled brightly, but the admin didn't relax. "What is the reward?" He asked nervously, Xisuma knew of the twisted humor some Watchers had, praying the reward wasn't to become a Watcher or anything like that.
"I'll share a secret: I'm also a player" He said, earning a small gasp.

"What's your player name"
"Can't say that Xisuma" He smiled, hoping the bee's curiosity would get the better of him, and he would ask the question burning on his tongue.
"Give me a hint- wait, I'm sorry that was rude of me, forgive me Xelqua" X interrupted himself, giving his God a bow.

"Dont worry X, I'll give you a hint-" The Watcher assured, the mischievous smile on his lips growing, "-I'm on your server, Hermitcraft"
"WHAT!?" The admin screamed in disbelief, forgetting all about the respect he earlier was so determined to show. "Goodbye Admin"
With a last smile, the Watcher teleported away.

Back at his base, the parrot laughed to himself, he was going to bask in the glory of the admin's behavior the following weeks.

Xisuma groaned to himself as he crossed out yet another hermit on his board, he had crossed out all the female hermits as he  was almost certain Xelqua was male - or at least non-female - but even with a few hermits crossed out he was not any wiser on who Xelqua could be. "I need some air" the admin thought to himself as he put on his elytra and flew away from the jungle and his honey-themed futuristic towers and towards the shopping district. He landed in front of the Barge as he needed a restock of gravel for his concrete consumption. A bell rung as he entered the shop and the parrot appeared from around the corner.
"Hello X-eye-suma! I was just restocking some mystery-boxes! Anything I can do for you?" He asked with a sharp smile, a smile sharper than usual? the admin thought to himself, but shook the thought away, no, I thought the same when I ran into Bdubs yesterday. X thought, smiling back to the hermit underneath his mask. "I'm fine by myself, thank you, I'm just looking for some gravel" The voidwalker replied before stopping in his tracks, had his eyes just glowed a faint purple? No. It was just his eyes catching the light, he had thought the same talking to Etho. X sighed, he was going crazy not knowing the answer to the secret that was eating him alive. "X, are you okay?" The avian asked and X smiled again, "I'm fine, where is your gravel?" The voidwalker asked and Grian pointed him towards a couple of double chests. "Thanks"

Grian had watched his admin squirm in anticipation for the reveal, when he decided Xisuma had been tortured enough, so the blonde went to pay him a visit.

"Hello X!" He shouted with a smile as he entered the admins main tower. The admin looked up from his mystery and smiled, "hello Grian, what brings you here?" He asked and the parrots smile grew, "With the succes of Third Life I was wondering if you'd help be with some admin-stuff for my next idea, it wont be for a long time but I need to work on it soon!" He explained and X nodded, "Sure, just tell me what you need"

Grian looked around and his eyes landed on a list of everyone, some crossed out, some not and he pointed at it. "Is this a list of your favorite hermits!? You told me you didn't keep favorites!" The blonde accused and the Voidwalker chuckled, "no, it's... something else"
Grian nodded, trying to hide his mischievous smile, "I see"
X put his hand down on his desk, hard, then groaned while clenching his hands into fists, knuckles turning white, "I hate not knowing, I'm so close to knowing a secret I've been wondering for years!" He yelled, putting his fingers close together to mimic how close. He turned around to stare out of the window, breathing slowly in an attempt to calm down.

Grian smiled to himself, and while X still had his back turned, he walked slowly to the list, he crossed every other name out and circled his own. Still silent, he teleported away.

"I'm sorry Grian, you don't even know what I'm talking about- I- Grian?"
The admin skimmed the room, eyes darting around, trying to finda hermit who should be there, but isn't. Finally his eyes landed on the crossed out hermits and Grians name circled.

"Always the prankster, I should have known" X thought to himself in a mixture of relief and disbelief, not knowing wether to laugh or cry.

The end.
