Grumbo Oneshots

Nevermore Pt. 2

Warning: Attempt at choking (not that type you dirty minded people). And an AU where they (of course) aren't playing a game (yes, they look like their skins, so it isn't them irl), but they still record (kind of like a vlog). I also changed how one of the events happened just for convenience of the story. And this is a very long chapter, so enjoy it if you can.

(Oh yeah, and I gave Evil X some powers)

~~

Evil X glared at the two hermits as they held hands. "We've decided to stay together," Grian spoke up, smiling at his boyfriend.

"You do know what this means, right?" Evil X asked, looking in between the two.

"We do, and we're ready to fight you together," Mumbo squeezed Grian's hand.

EX then smiled as he forced Grian up with his telekinesis. Grian began to claw at his throat, but there was nothing to remove from his throat. Grian's eyes pricked with tears as his breathing became more limited

Mumbo rushed towards EX, holding his sword out in front of him. Evil X turned to face him and lifted him up in the air. "Did you really think you would defeat me? Well, it's not as easy as you think," he smiled. "You had a choice." Evil Xisuma's hand tightened, making Grian start coughing violently as his face turned red.

"Don't hurt him!" Mumbo yelled. "You can do anything you want, just stop doing this to him!" Mumbo didn't care about what EX could do, he just had to leave Grian alone, he could bear watching his love suffer.

"Anything?" Asked Evil X as he stopped choking the smaller hermit. Grian coughed out a few times and sucked in air as quickly as he could.

"Just don't hurt him," Mumbo cried.

"I won't hurt Grian," EX started, bringing the two of them closer to him, "if you let me wipe his memories of your relationship."

Mumbo's eyes widened as he processed his offer. Both of them were terrible, but it would hurt them less if he let EX wipe his memories, and Mumbo would suffer if Grian got hurt. Reluctantly, Mumbo made a decision. "It's a deal."

Grian stired and his hand immediately shot up to rub his eyes. After a few seconds of blinking, he looked up and slightly backed away from the stranger standing next to him. "I'm not gonna hurt you," Mumbo gave a happy smile, though it didn't really meet his eyes, which were big and red, a sign that he had been crying.

"What's your name?" Grian asked at the mustached man in front of him. Mumbo shook his head as he brought his hands up to wipe away his tears. "Hey, what's wrong? Did I say something?" Grian asked, panicking.

"It's not your fault. I just, I don't know how to say this," Mumbo said.

"Well, just start from the beginning and you can find your way from there," Grian suggested.

Mumbo smiled and placed a hand on Grian's shoulder. Shaking his head, he began to walk off.

"Wait!" Grian exclaimed, "Can you at least tell me your name?"

"It's Mumbo," Mumbo stopped and slightly turned his head to look back at Grian, "I'll come by to see you later." Mumbo kept walking and he took off.

Grian looked around at his base. It seems as though he hadn't been there in a long time. He smiled, proud of what he had done in the season so far.

But who was the new guy? As far as he knew, the only recently added hermits were him, Keralis, and Bdoubleo. They wouldn't add any new Hermits without telling him, right? And why was he at his base when he woke up?
