The Haunted ships and one-shots!

Grayson x Mia

It had been a few months since they had left their portals, but two of the friends were hit with deviation when their hybrid friend didn't end up in the same place that they had ended up. They searched night and day for what felt like an eternity for their friend, but they had always come back empty handed. They could only hope that he was okay, wherever he was.
The ex-commander and the elf walked along in the old, over grown forest. It was dark, with the moonlight seeping through the leaves of the tall trees. Moths flew around, strange noises echoed from the forest. The only thing that was really relaxing about the place, were the fireflies giving off their warm light.

"I can't believe you got us kicked out of the inn." Mia said, glaring at her close friend.

Grayson shrugged, with a cookie jar in his arms. He took a bite of the chocolate chip cookie in his hands, then spoke while his mouth was still full.

"Well, the cookie jar was just sitting there, and no one else was eating from it."

Mia rolled her eyes. Typical Grayson. Her bright lime green eyes moved to look at him again. Her heart always raced when she looked up at him. Even if he was stupid at times, he was smart at other times. Mia wasn't exactly sure if that was a good combination, but she loved that about him. It just meant that he was full of surprises. The noises in the ominous Forest began to grow louder and louder. Her heart raced. She hadn't even realized that her hand had slowly wrapped around the ex-commanders.

  "What are you doing?" He asked, a blush spreading across his face.

The elf looked down, her face getting red in embarrassment. Mia pulled her hand away.

  "I-I'm so sorry! I did realize..!"

Grayson put his hands up. "Woah! M-Mia, it's okay! I don't m-mind at all!"

It became silent, as the stared at each other for what felt like forever. The tension was broken, when Grayson lifted up his hand, and wrapped his fingers on her hand. Her skin was smooth and soft in his grasp. His face still red, as well as hers.m

  "If you need me to comfort you...I'm here." He said, as he began to walk again, leading Mia by her hand.

The girl couldn't help but look away, trying to hide her blush. She didn't know if he felt romantic feelings like she did, but she was too embarrassed to say anything. She didn't want to ruin what they already had. Grayson looked down at the elf, smiling down at her softly. He could feel her hand shaking. He knew that she was scared of the unknown that lived in the ominous forest.

"Hey, Mia... There's a place I want to show you around here. It very relaxing. I think you will enjoy it!"

Grayson lead her by the hand, into the long, overgrown trees covered in vines. They pushed the vines away, some of them being let go too early, and hitting Mia in the face. She shook her head, spitting out the tiny leaves that got in her mouth.

  "Are we almost there yet?" She complained.

"Yeah, just be patient. Just a few more steps."

Mia looked up ahead, seeing a beautiful blue light shining up behind the plants. The sound of running water hit her ears, and the smell of fresh water.

Grayson spoke. "Don't drink the water."

Mia's body tensed up. "What do you mean?!"

Grayson said that it was nothing, as he pushed the last of the vegetation out of the way, revealing the gorgeous scenery. Fireflies flew in the air, their lights shining bright. A river ran through the ground, with a shining blue color coming from it, and mushrooms that glowed bright blue and green colors.
