TW: Slight angst

3rd Person POV

Keralis sits on the bed, watching boredly as Xisuma paces the room.

"Four Hermits, four Hermits plus Grian knew and not one of you thought to tell me."

"I told them not to bother you with it."

"Then you should've told me Keralis. Someone getting on the server and hurting another Hermit is something you tell me."

"You had enough going on, we handled it."

"That's not the point Keralis."

"We were able to take care of it and calm Grian down. Other then a panic attack and a small cut he was ok."

"Keralis. Someone got on the server and no one told me. I'm the admin I need to know this stuff."

"Are you really going to be upset at me for putting your mental heath and stress levels first?"

"For this reason yes I am."

Keralis sighs, "Shashwammy, if it was really that bad, as in today bad, I would've told you but it wasn't. It wasn't worth you stressing over when you had enough on your plate."

"That's not the point. I'm suppose to know when stuff like this happens. I'm the admin."

"You can't do everything by yourself."

"Its not your responsibility to worry about the server!"

He stands up, facing the admin "It is when you're exhausting yourself!"

"I'm fine Keralis."

"You aren't! Look at yourself Shashwammy, you're tired and stressed!"

"Keralis, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."

"Stop it Xisuma! If Cub tells me- if I find you passed out one more time because you've overworked yourself I don't know what I'll do!"

"...Keralis..."

"You're my best friend and I care about you a-and you're not taking care of yourself!"

Xisuma takes his helmet off, setting it on the desk.

"If I lost you I-I don't know what I'd do...."

He pulls Keralis into a hug, "Keralis, I'm not going anywhere, you aren't going to lose me."

"You need to take care of yourself X...."

"Its concerning hearing you call me by my name....I'll try to be better, ok? But you need to tell me if something bad happens."

"Ok."

"I have to go to an admin meeting but when I get back we're going to make tea, cuddle, and relax, maybe read or something."

"Promise?"

"I promise, it shouldn't even be a long meeting."

"Ok."

"Maybe take a nap while I'm gone? You look tired after today."

"Maybe a little bit."

"You go do that and I'll be back soon."

Keralis nods and Xisuma leaves, deciding to go check on Cub real quick.

"Cub? You doing ok?"

"Yeah, yeah no I'm ok."

"Its ok if you're not you know," He sits next to the Hermit, "What you had to do today was not easy."

"...I never ever want to do something like that to another Hermit ever again."

"You won't, ok? I'm proud of you Cub, that wasn't easy yet you did so well and stayed calm. Grian will be ok thanks to you."

"...He could've died X...one small mistake and he could've died."

"But he didn't, thanks to you."

"I just need to stop thinking about it right now..."

"Why don't you go to Keralis and get some sleep and I'll join you guys after my meeting."

"Sleep sounds nice."

"Go get some rest Cub."

"Yeah, ok, hey X?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't be mad at Keralis, he's not the only one who hides stuff from you."

"...We both know I could never truly be mad at him." He leaves Cub to rest.

When Xisuma returns he finds Cub and Keralis asleep. With a smile X picks up a little before getting in bed and going to sleep himself.
