The Spoon and The Bread ~ A Grumbo Fanfic

Chapter 17 - Explanation

BEFORE WE START I WANTED TO SAY I HAVE NO MOTIVATION SO THE WRITING MIGHT BE BAD, SORRY.

1st Person POV (Grian)

I nodded before speaking once again.

- I guess It's time to tell you everything.. Everything about what's happened -

I murmured, everyone's eyes glued to me. One last sigh I spoke.

- It all happened, back when I thought I could try to do some more redstone, to impress Mumbo. I started with some small contraptions, until I wondered. Could you somewhat split your soul with another human. It would be cool and I thought it would be extremely impressive so I spent days building a contraption on Mumbo's base, blocks floating, everything being so stressful I didn't.. Think. Yes it was stupid I know but I was curious so I led Mumbo to the machine, he volunteered to go in. He didn't even know it was going to do that, I didn't realise it would knock him out cold for a couple days but I had done it. Mumbo now has a part of my soul in him. Are you impressed? Or annoyed? -

I stared at everyone, terrified of what they were going to do. I had managed to share my soul. It's impressive but I've been hiding Mumbo for days while he has been out cold.

- Impressive, yes, annoyed, also yes -

Mumbo turned to utter something in my ear.

- Does that make us related? So technically all of this -

He spun his finger, indicating our relationship.

- Is incest and illegal -

I stared at him in pure shock.

- NO? WE SHARE A SOUL, NOT DNA -

I screamed in terror, how could he be so smart yet so dumb, he was such a silly spoon.

Zedaph had seemed to have caught on to what Mumbo had said, looking at us in shock, Tango still extremely confused.

- What's happening? -

He questioned, flicking his eyes between us and his confusion slowly rised.

- Tango, I'll explain later, okay baby? -

Zedaph hushed, quickly enough turning his attention back to Mumbo who seemed like he had missed something.

- Ok, so, Mumbo, sharing a soul is like sharing a bit of my personality with you. You see, you have a new haircut, the exact same as mine. That is what showed me I had managed to do it. DNA is if we were related. Which we're not. Is that better? -

I explained to Mumbo what his error was. He soon nodded, turning to face Zedaph.

- So you knew this whole time and didn't tell anyone? -

He questioned, staring confusingly at Zedaph. You could see the heavy rise and fall of Zedaph's chest, his adam's apple bobbing.

- Well you see Mumbo, Grian is very.. Persuasive. He managed to persuade me into not telling anyone and now we're here. But i better get going, it's getting late and i don't want to leave Impulse non-attended for too long, you know what he's like -

An awkward chuckle escaped Zedaph's lips. I think he caught the glare I was giving him. At least he was leaving now.

- Wait Zed, we don- -

Tango was cut off with Zedaph dragging him away. I guess my secret was safe for now.. For now.

Tango's POV (1st)

- Wait Zed, we don- -

I was cut off with a firm grip and a tug, I was being dragged away. By the panicked expressions Zedaph was showing, I'm guessing it wasn't a pretty thing that he was panicking about. I had never seen him this worried, never. He was always the guy who gave us that panicked expression with his crazy wacky ideas. I mean come on he lives in a lab!

- Zed, why are you running? It's only -

I was cut off once again with Zed turning to face me, finger pressed against my lips.

- Tango I know you can be a bit lost minded, but right now I can't answer your question. I think I am in serious trouble and I need to keep my mouth shut. Can you quiet this once with your question? -

He slowly took his finger off my lips. I felt hurt, why couldn't he tell me, I was his boyfriend of all things. Poor Impulse as well, not knowing what was happening. He seemed so scared though, terrified even. This time, I stayed quiet, nodding my head as we continued back to Impulse's house.

After a short walk we had gotten back to Impulse's base, he seemed surprised to see us back.

- I thought you guys were going to head back to your own places? I don't mind you staying of course -

I nodded, Zedaph however was rushing about for something. It was like he lost something that wasn't his and that he had to return it that very moment.

- Zed, babe, you alright? -

Impulse asked in concern, I got what he meant. Zedaph was looking like a lunatic rushing about like this.

- Zed? -

Impulse repeated, slowly approaching the small sheep hybrid.

- Zed -

He repeated once more, using his firm grip he gripped onto Zed's shoulders, forcing him to face Impulse. I just stood at the side, enjoying my view of my boyfriends.

- Zedaph, what's wrong? You can tell us anything -

He looked towards me for some reassurance which I gave. He should know he can tell the both of us anything. Unlucky for Impulse, he wasn't told to keep his mouth shut 5 minutes ago so Zedaph's fuse was gone.

- I'M TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING, NOW CAN EVERYONE LEAVE ME ALONE? -

Zedaph screamed. Impulse immediately let go of his shoulders backing away. No words were exchanged as me and Impulse headed to Imp's room to give Zedaph some room, some space to breathe.

That's where we left him, in the living room, looking at us longing but disgustedly. He had a secret he seemed to want to tell us but he couldn't. I am guessing it's from this whole Mumbo thing, he knows more than he's letting on.

When. Will. He. Crack?
