ON HIATUS Love When You Hate Me - Scarian Hero/Villain AU

Chapter 2 - A new life awaits you

(Grian POV)

Grian laughed at a joke his friend, Mumbo, made. It was a very bad joke, if Grian was being honest, but he couldn't care less.

Mumbo chuckled slightly himself and leaned more against the park bench both friends were sitting on.

It was a sunny day. Sadly Grian knew it would be one of the last warm days as it was middle of September and soon it would turn into those wet and muddy days.

-"So, did you speak with Martyn about how it was for him starting as a villain?" Mumbo asked after dropping his chuckles.

Right. Grian thought and looked slightly away.

He wanted to become a villain like both his friends, he was just very hesitant about it and, god, Grian didn't even know why.

Mumbo had been a villain for five years now and the only reason Grian knows about that is because he always was very open on how he felt about the heros which made Mumbo trust Grian enough to reveal his secret identity.

Grian was suprised, but he was also over the moon at how cool that was. Ever since then Mumbo tried to convince Grian to join him, Grian never really did, until now.

Their other friend, Martyn, became a villain a few days ago. He had also been like Grian, very hesitant, but he took the risk and he looked like he was enjoying it.

Mumbo took the chance and started bugging Grian about being a villain again, after some time Grian fell in defeat and agreed. Mumbo had helped Grian fill out some documents and he was now, technically, a villain.

Grian had everything ready except one thing, a name. Mumbo had chosen the name Val Massacre when he was sixteen and, by his words, he still liked it. Martyn just said he liked starlings and clocks so his name was formed in a span of two minutes.

Grian, on the otherhand, was trying so hard to think of a name he wouldn't be embarrassed to be called and match it with the way he looked.

-"Yeah, I did." Grian sighed.

There was no need to be really sad and he wasn't actually sad. He was just slightly disappointed, maybe.

-"You still thinking about what to call yourself?" Mumbo asked with a 'come on now' look.

-"Yeah." Grian giggled. It was funny though.

-"Well, you could be called Angel? You do look like an angel so it fits." Mumbo suggested.

-"I don't really know. Angel sounds too... normal, I guess? I want to have a unique name, something like yours."

-"Hm. Maybe you could be Seraphim." The younger of the two suggested.

-"Sera- what?" Grian looked at his friend in confusion.

Mumbo laughed which made Grian chuckle slightly himself.

-"A Seraphim. It's basically an angel, just a bit different and, again, you do look like an angel." He explained.

-"I mean," Grian paused to think over what his friend had suggested. "I suppose it works and it does sound really cool."

-"Then it's settled!" Mumbo said and stood up from the bench.

-"Now come on! I want you to meet the other villains!" Grian got janked up by his arm and dragged away by Mumbo.

What had he just signed up for?

____

-"A clothes store? Seriously?" Grian stared at a tall dark red building that had a clothes store on the first floor.
