You're the beauty to my redstone

The Ex

Grian's POV

She smiled slyly. "Why won't you take me back Gri?"

I stared at Cleo. I broke up with her the day before, and she had been following me EVERYWHERE.

"I don't love you Cleo." I said bluntly, folding my arms. "And don't call me Gri."

She shoved me against the wall and attempted to kiss me. I pushed her away.

"Ugh! You'll regret this someday!" she screamed.

She then flew away in a matter of seconds. I thought that I wouldn't have to deal with her anymore, but I thought wrong.

Later that day, I needed some ice, but all of Stress's shops were sold out, so I decided to meet up with her at her base.

"Hey Stress!" I called.

She showed me to her secret stash of ice, which was, conveniently, in her bedroom.

She gave me a few stacks of ice, before showing me out of her castle.

I walked outside and saw Cleo standing there with her arms crossed.

"You bastard!" she screamed. "You slept with her just a day after we broke up!"

"What?!" I protested.

"Yeah! I saw you two in the bedroom together! I couldn't bare to watch!" she said.

"She was giving me ice!" I said. "And I'm not yours to protect! I can date anyone I want!"

She slapped me, scoffed, and flew away.

I went to bed and didn't think much more about it until the next day. I woke up to my base in ruins.

I felt tears in my eyes. Who could have done this?

"Cleo" I said through my teeth.

I didn't even want to deal with her. I just needed some comfort. I knew exactly who would cheer me up. My best friend. Mumbo.

I flew over to his base, and saw him working on a redstone project. It was a hot summery day, and he had his shirt off.

I felt my cheeks go red. Just look at him... I shook my head, knowing that he would never feel the same way as me, and ran toward him.

"Mumbo!" I cried. I ran to him and he hugged me.

"Gri? What's wrong?" he asked. I looked up at him. I could see the concern on his face. He cared about me.

"Cleo... she blew up my entire base..." I started crying.

He hugged me tighter. "I'll get her" I heard him whisper. I smiled to myself. He was going to protect me.

Just then, I saw a figure coming towards us. It came into the light, and it was Cleo.

"Let go of him!" she yelled to Mumbo.

Mumbo quickly let go, but then took my hand behind our backs. He squeezed it tight, and I blushed.

Cleo grabbed my sweatshirt and pulled me towards her. She dipped me and kissed me, but I pulled away. I lost my balance, and she took advantage of this, and pushed me to the ground.

She got on top of me. I squirmed and tried to get free, but she grabbed my hair, forcing me to stay down.

I looked at Mumbo, and he marched toward Cleo. He pulled her off of me and to her feet.

Mumbo was a very tall man, and I could see that Cleo was intimidated by him.

"If you lay another eye on him, I will tear you to shreds." he said. "And that's a promise."

Cleo scoffed, but then Mumbo bunches his fist and she quickly scampered away.

"Thank you..." I said quietly, putting my head down.

"Hey it's not your fault" he said. He lifted my head up with his finger, and I blushed immediatly. He pulled me towards him and kissed me softly.

I put my hands around his neck, and ran my fingers through his soft black hair.

"I love you Gri" he said.

"Always protect me" I said, going in for another kiss.
