"I don't feel a single thing.
Have the pills done too much.
Haven't caught up with my friends in weeks, and now we're outta touch.
I've been driving in L.A.
And the world, it feels too big.
Like a floating ball that's bound to break, snap my psyche like a twig.
And I just wanna see if you feel the same as me.
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life, like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die, like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive, 'cause you gotta survive.
Like your body's in the room, but you're not really there.
Like you have empathy inside, but you don't really care.
Like you're fresh outta love, but it's been in the air. Am I past repair?
I'm a little bit tired of trying to care when I don't.
I'm a little bit tired of quick repairs to cope.
A little bit tired of sinkin'. There's water in my boat. I'm barely breathing. Tryna stay afloat. So I got these quick repairs to cope.
Guess I'm just broken and broke.
The prescriptions are on its way.
With a name I can't pronounce.
And the dose I gotta take.
Boy, I wish that I could count.
'Cause I just wanna see if this could make me happy.
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life? Like you're not really happy, but you don't wanna die. Like you're hanging by a thread, but you gotta survive, 'cause you gotta survive
Like your body's in the room, but you're not really there.
Like you have empathy inside, but you don't really care.
Like you're fresh outta love, but it's been in the air. Am I past repair?
I'm a little bit tired of trying to care when I don't.
I'm a little bit tired of quick repairs to cope.
I'm a little bit tired of sinking. There's water in my boat. I'm barely breathing. Tryna stay afloat.
So I got these quick repairs to cope.
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life?
Like you're not really happy, but you don't wanna die.
Like a numb little bug that's gotta survive.
That's gotta survive."

By the end of the song, Scar was sobbing. He ran to the nearest mountain and looked over the edge. Nobody would care. They would just think he'd do it by accident.

<GoodTimesWithScar fell from a high place out of grief>

Grian frowned at the message. That wasn't part of the script. Tango would blow him up, Mumbo would make him fall in lava, and then Xisuma would bring out the birthday cake, and Grian would kiss him. They would all sing happy birthday, and Scbe happy. But falling from a high place out of grief? That seemed fishy.

<Grian whisper to Xisuma>. What's going on?

<Xisuma whispers to Grian> do you think he's upset we 'forgot'?

<Grian whispers to Xisuma> I think so

<Xisuma whispers to Grian> go to him

Grian flew to Scar. Scar was in a fatal position on his bed. Grian came in.

"Scar?" He didn't get a response. He saw a recorder on the ground and pressed play. Scar's singing filled the room. By the time it was done, Grian was in tears. He came over and hugged Scar tightly.

"We didn't forget your birthday, Scar."
Scar sniffled.

"You didn't?" Scar's voice was so full of hope and surprise that Grian choked back a sob.

"We would never forget." Grian pulled Scar into a kiss. Scar kissed back until someone speaking made them split.

"Get a room, you two." Tango stood there, an amused look on his face at Scar and Grian's red faces, but he quickly turned serious. He sat next to Scar.

"I will never forget your birthday, Scar, and I'm so sorry I blew you up. All the Hermits wanted to play a prank on you. They all pretended to forget your birthday. They sent you these apology letters." Tango pulled out a big batch of envelopes, each one with each Hermits name on it. Tango gave Scar all the stuff he had lost in the explosion and lava and his own birthday present for Scar, along with all the gifts the Hermit's had for Scar. Scar was close to tears as he took the letters and presents.

"Thank you." Scar said in a choked voice. Tango smiled and entwined his black slim fire tipped tail with Scar's gray tabby one. Scar and Grian looked shocked. Tango wasn't much of a touchy person unless he was feeling adventurous with his boyfriends or he was in heat. So this little display of affection from Tango felt like the world to Scar, and Scar smiled. Maybe that day wasn't as terrible as Scar thought.

Hope you like it Just-Fandom! Tears and a birthday fluff just as you requested! And yes, August nineteenth is Scar's birthday in real life, and yes, I had to look it up, oof. =P Pt 3 of S×T×B×I coming soon!~ Octune <3
