Grian Oneshots :D

Truth or Dare

Pretty short one here, had this one simmering for a while in a word doc :)

Grian + Pearl (platonic/siblings), pretty angsty hehe

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grian was flying above the shopping district when he suddenly got a buzz from his communicator

Xisuma: hermit sleepover tonight?

Mumbo: sure

Scar: where?

Pearl: my place

Grian quickly typed a response then sped off to decide what to wear.

<[~]> Later that night <[~]>

Grian landed gracefully on the front porch of Pearl's house and knocked on the door. A second later Pearl opened the door and greeted him into the house, but before he could enter, a certain moustached hermit face planted in front of him, cause Grian and Pearl to descend into hysterics.

"Am I late?" Mumbo said breathlessly.

"Nope you're on time" Grian managed to get out between giggles. They all went into the house, Grian and Pearl breaking into laughter every time they made eye contact.

"Pearl, Mumbo, G, get over here! We're playing truth or dare!" Scar yelled across at them. They made their way over and joined the circle that the other hermits were sat in.

"Alright Scar, truth or dare?" Xisuma asked.

"Dare" Scar said with a mischievous grin on his face.

"I dare you to... down one of these cans of coke in one go"

Scar laughed along with the rest of the hermits, and then grabbed a can and chugged the entire thing in one go. The room was silent for a moment, then Scar let rip a burp that reverberated around the room. Laughter echoed around the room only broken by a small "pardon me" from Scar.

"Ok, now for you G, truth or dare?" Scar asked.

"To avoid doing whatever just happened, I'll pick truth," Grian answered.

"Time for a spicy one: are you a virgin, and if not, how did u lose your virginity" Scar asked causing whispers around the room.

"I-I'm not a virgin Scar" Grian said nervously.

"How did u lose your virginity then?" Scar asked excitedly.

"I-I um... I don't... I can't..." Grian stuttered. Tears began to streak down his face and he twisted his hands in his lap.

"Come on, tell us" one of the hermits said.

Grian slowly stood up and backed away.

"I- um, bathroom"

He ran out of the room, flung open the bathroom door, dashed inside, and slammed the door, locking it with a click. He slid against the wall and began to sob into his knees. He could still feel that man's arms on his abdomen, he felt disgusting and dirty. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a pack of razor blades and he grabbed one, beginning to scrape it against his skin. He heard his breath hitch as the blade sliced into his skin and blood began to drip out.

Then he heard someone bang on the door and yell something at him. He sobbed into his arms and continued slicing his arms. He heard a small click as the door finally got pushed open, and felt eyes staring at him. Grian instantly knew he had messed up, and had overreacted to the question. Why hadn't he just stayed silent, nobody would've known then.

Someone hugged him. He felt their warm embrace round him, with slight smell of cinnamon.

"Shhhh... it's ok Grian, you're safe here," Pearl whispered into his ear. He realised tears were still rolling down his cheeks, so wiped his eyes with his sleeve. His friends had seen him at his most vulnerable.

"C'mon guys, give him some space," Pearl said, "Grian, just stay here with me ok? I'm here for you, and so is every hermit. We're not about to question you about this, but I would urge you to talk to someone."

"I- don't think I can j-just yet..." Grian muttered through tears.

"Hey, that's ok G, just remember that we'll always be here if you need to talk, and that whatever you say won't change that we all love you," Pearl whispered back into his ear.

"Thanks sis," Grian murmured.

and..... ill wrap that up there. This was pretty fun to write I guess

Anyway this week in school we had a cover lesson which got very much derailed, ending up with people throwing anything they could find in their pencil cases across the class, and we knew that in the lesson with the actual teacher will have today (who ill call Mrs B) we were gonna get told off.

So me and a couple people made a 'Mrs B Bingo' of things we thought she would say, such as "Its your GCSEs not mine" and out of all of them, she said all but one 😭

anyway how were y'alls weeks? hope u drink and eat enough, as well as get enough sleep (I mean that)
