<Anger/Vent fic that somehow turned fluffy, I don't know how it happened either. Not apart of any real AU, but it's an AU since Grian's demise is a bit different the normal.>
EX looked at the person at his door, surprise apparent on his unmasked face.
In front him stood a dirt covered grayscale Grian, though his eyes were still violet, and they almost seemed to be glowing. The Hermits clothes were tarred and torn, and burns covered the most of his body. From what he could see it seemed like Grian's normal beautiful rustic colored feathered wings had been replaced by bones with torn leather between the fingers, a bit like a Phantom. But the thing that was the most surprised by the rage burning in the Hermits eyes.
He was about to speak when Grian spoke up, "We had a deal. And he broke it."
"Who are you talking about? And why are you here?"
"Me and Ren had a deal!" Growled Grian, fists clenching at his sides, "We had a deal, but then your idoitic brother came in and ruined it all! He made a deal, that I already wasn't all to happy with, even fucking worse!"
EX wanted to ask him to explain further, but he saw the state the short man was in and decided against it. Plus, he wouldn't pass up an opportunity to mess with his brother, "So you want my help with something then?"
The grayscale nodded, "Yes. I've heard you know how to access the code, I need you to get it for me."
The albine raised an eyebrow at the request, "You want access to the code? Do you even know how to use it?"
"I do," snapped Grian impatiently, "Now can you get it for me or not?"
EX raised his arms in surrender, "Alright, I'll get it for you. Mind telling me what your plan is?"
Grian looked up at him with a wicked grin, "I'd avoid dying in the near future once I'm done if I were you, it won't be very pleasant if you do."
The red Void shivered at the tone he used, something told him that whatever the hell Grian had planned wasn't going to be pleasant, not one bit.
EX left a bit after that, telling Grian to wait here whilst he got the laptop his twin used for server things. After grabbing it he made his way back, something in the back of his head telling him to not give Grian the laptop, but he shook that away quickly. Once back he handed the laptop to Grian, who then promptly left.
"What have you done to him brother?" Wondered EX as he watched Grian fly away, the feeling of something being wrong had now been dubled. But maybe it wasn't as bad as he thought. God he hoped it wasn't.
Grian arrived back at his base, laptop in his hands. He speed walked to one of the pillars of his base and made a hole, walking in he put the laptop down before leaving. He walked to the clothing part of his storage and looked through it, he remembers that he has a grayscale outfit laying around here somewhere.
It took him only a few minutes to find, seeing as it is one of the more newly made outfits. He took it out and changed into it, dumbing his ruined clothes in an empty chest.
He admired his new outfit for a bit in the mirror before heading to the piller, or more so the laptop in it. (this is in grayscale + his new wings

)
He opened the laptop and scoffed, "Really X? Are you really so confident that no one will take this that you didn't even lock it with a password? No wonder EX has been such trouble in the past."
Grian wasted no time with anything and quickly altered and added code, which was easy since Hermitcarft's code is so much simpler the EVO's by miles.
He was just about to upload the code when the sound of the Nether portal being used and a call off "Grian!" was heard.
Closing the laptop he looked out to the rest of his base, curious as to who was there. A smile spread across his face as he saw who it was, "Zedaph? Why are you here?"
The tall blond smiled at the grayscale Hermit, "I need your help. You see, me and the rest of team ZIT want to play a little game of Is that sheep looking at me? but there's a little problem, we're only three people."
"So you want me to be the third contestant?" Guessed Grian, head tilted slightly to the side,
"Even better! You'll be the host!" Grinned Zedaph, bouncing lightly on the balls of his feet.
"The host? Isn't that your position?" Asked Grian, very confused as to why the blond was giving up his position to him.
Said blond gave a dramatic sigh, "It normally is. But unnormally this is a team ZIT game. And I'm the first part of ZIt, if you didn't know, so I have to be a part of the game!" He huffed out a breath as he crossed his arms over his chest, "Honestly, it's not that hard to get."
Grian blinked up at the blond for a few seconds before talking again, "Alright, I'll do it. Just give me some time to finish up what I'm doing and I'll be over in a bit."
Zedaph grinned widely at him, "Wonderful! You'll also need to come up with a few sheep related questions and such."
"I can do that." Said Grian, already thinking up some sheep related questions in his head.
"Good. Then I'll see you in an hour!" And with that Zedaph disappeared once more, probably heading back to one of his many bases.
Grian walked back into the pillar and backed up the laptop again, but he hesitated as he was about to enter the new code. Was this really what he wanted? To make the Hermits feel horrible phantom pains every time they died? Did he really want to make them suffer like him?
I mean, they had no idea that he managed to live through the initial explosion, nor that he ended up buried under stone, back torn open completely from the falling debris. No, he definitely didn't want this.
Grian quickly deleted his new code and closed the laptop. He'd get back at Xisuma and Ren some other way, perhaps an over the top prank or something.
He spent a few more minutes there, coming up with a bunch of sheep and sheep related questions. After he was satisfied with the ones he came up with he headed out from his base and to X's, he might as well make it look like nothing happened, since nothing actually happened.
Once done there he flew to the Concorp studio he knew Is that sheep looking at me? took place. He reminded himself to apologize to EX later for making him get the laptop for nothing. (EX was a bit miffed that Grian wasted his time doing something that ended up being meaningless, but not all to annoyed since Grian was the only Hermit who he really liked.)
The game of ITSLAM (very weird acronym, but totally on brand for Zedaph) turned out to be really fun, and Grian enjoyed his time with team ZIT.
And if he did or did not spend a lot of time oggeling at Impulse, well, no one needs to know anything about that. (All of them totally saw him do it. And said person being ogled at really didn't mind, since he himself had been doing much the same to the temporary host)
<I couldn't help but make it Gripuls! I've just fallen into the rabbit hole that is Grian x Impulse and I can't stop!
This is how the outfit looks with normal colors:
