[The last chapter was Grian building the G-Team base on his own, worrying and thinking about flirting with Mumbo, but ultimately deciding, that having sex for the first time is more important to him right now. It continues with him doing research about sex and panicking just a little. He wonders whether he's ready, but is determined to try]

TW: Arguments, insecurities, graphic descriptions, erotic scenes. As always, the smutty stuff will be marked and summarized next chapter.

POV Iskall

"G? Is everything alright?" Iskall wrinkled his forehead.

"Oh. Yeah, sure. I'm good."

"It's just that you seem very lost in thought. And you didn't say a word about my roast rabbit stew and I spent ages in the kitchen."

He couldn't help but sound indignant.

"Oh. Sorry. It's good."

They continued to eat in silence.

"So how was your day?" Iskall made another attempt.

"Nothing much, just a bit of building. I put glass on top of the base and started on the downstairs area." A bit of excitement showed through Grian's voice. This was the way to go.

"Cool."

"And I was thinking, we need mobs with 'G' around our base. We already have pigs, so that's good, but what I think we really need is an elder guardian."

Grian was out of his mind. Is that why he was so silent? He had lost his marbles.

"That's not gonna be fun."

"Ah come on Iskall, you built an entire guardian farm with Cub, how hard can it be? I'm sure it will be fun."

"Grian, building a farm and getting an elder guardian out of the ocean monument alive, are very different levels of difficulty. You can't get rid of the other guardians if you have to keep the water. This is not gonna be easy."

"I don't care, let's do it tomorrow, OK?"

"Alright." Iskall sighed, but chuckled. "Why do I put up with a madman like you?"

It was meant to be a joke. He wanted to follow up with the many good reasons why he liked Grian so much and transition to making out, but Grian had fallen dead silent, staring up at the spiderwebs and the look on his face got the joke stuck in his throat. Not again! What was up with Grian? It all started after that fateful meeting with Mumbo. Why'd he have to start on these stupid things? Grian obviously was very disturbed by the thought of a polyamorous relationship. Maybe it had been too early to ask. It was his first relationship after all. I'm an idiot!

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Grian's gaze flickered from the spiderwebs to Iskall, as if he hadn't even noticed he was there until that moment.

"For pushing you towards polyamory. I shouldn't have said those things. I was..."

"What's polyamory?" Grian raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't I mention the word?" Wow, Iskall. Just wow. So much for talking openly. I'm an idiot.

"No, you didn't."
