The Documentary

Hi guys. This one is about Grian's cat documentary that he filmed with Mumbo and his girlfriend. AGAIN. I DO NOT SHIP THEM IRL. I'm just using this for content. Just imagine this is in minecraft. Enjoy!

Grian's POV

I was sitting at my base, just playing with my cats, Maui and Pearl, when I suddenly had the strangest idea:

What if I made a documentary about my cats?

But there are so many things to take care of... I'd have to get someone to film the whole thing... but who?

Just then, I heard my computer chime. It was a Discord message. It read:

"Hey Gri! Wanna get on the hermitcraft server, Scar has a new minigame, but it requires 4 people, and we only have 3."

-Mumbo

Mumbo! Of course! I typed back:

"Sure! But after, I have a favor to ask. I wanna film a documentary about my cats, but I have no one to film it. And I know how much you love recording films. Whaddya say?"

"Of course! Anything for my best mate!"

I felt my face get hot, and my stomach flutter. Huh, maybe I'm getting a stomach bug...

A FEW HOURS LATER

Me and Mumbo had just gotten off of minecraft along with Iskall and Scar.

Just as I shut off my camera, I heard three knocks on the door.

"Coming!" I said.

I opened the door and was greeted by a moustached fella.

"Hey Grian! Ready to film?" asked Mumbo.

"Of course!" I answered.

"Oh, before I forget," said Mumbo. "I brought my girlfriend along, I hope that's ok. She's gonna help out with filming."

I felt a sudden pain in my chest. Must be coming down with something...

"Yeah that's ok" I said. "Well let's get on with it then!"

We spent around half an hour setting up the equipment, and then we got to filming.

I grabbed Maui and Pearl into my lap, and explained a little bit about each of them.

We finally finished filming about 2 hours later, and we packed away all the cameras.

"That was a lot of fun." I said.

"Yeah," he replied. "I just have one question."

I nodded my head telling him 'go ahead'.

"Why did you suddenly decide to do this documentary?" he asked. "And why did you choose me specifically?"

I froze. I knew the exact answer to both of those questions:

"I just wanted to spend time with you..." I muttered under my breath.

"Hmm? I couldn't hear you. Speak up!" Mumbo smiled at me and tilted his head to the side.

"I just wanted to spend time with you." I blurted out.

Mumbo smiled. He walked towards me and gave me a hug.

"You can ask me to come over anytime, Gri. You're my best friend!" he said.

"No you don't understand..." I whispered again.

"What don't I understand?" Mumbo looked puzzled.

"I-"

Mumbo lifted my chin up. I felt my face get very hot and red.

"You can tell me anything," he said.

I took a step back. "I like you, Mumbo. Not as just a friend. More. You probably hate me now..."

"Hey..." Mumbo pulled me into a warm hug and stroked his hands through my hair. "Gri I have to be honest with you. I like you too. Probably more than you like me. But I have a girlfriend..."

I sighed and pulled away from the hug. "I don't understand why you can't just break up with her." I looked up at the tall man.

"She-she knows something about me... that I don't want anyone to know..." he said in a small voice.

"She's blackmailing you?!" I was outraged. "Mumbo you should not be with her! That's an unconsentual relationship! She's forcing you into it!"

"Yeah..." Mumbo suddenly looked up. "I'm gonna go break up with her." He said. "Let's just pack everthign away first before she finds something to throw and break."

I chuckled a bit. "C'mon." I said, taking Mumbo's hand behind our backs.

"Hey," Mumbo said to his girlfriend.

"Hey babe." She had this huge smirk on her face as she stressed the word babe. It gave me chills as I heard the word and I just wanted to smack that grin off her face.

"We're done. You are bad for me, and for everyone." Mumbo squeezed my hand as he talked.

"Well you wouldn't want your little secret to get out, would we?" She smiled slyly.

"I don't care." Mumbo pulled our hands out from behind our backs. "One person knows already. And that's the person that matters most."

I smiled. Mumbo opened the front door. "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!" His ex screeched and fled the room.

"Wow that felt good." Mumbo said, turning to face me.

"Hey can I ask you two things?" I said.

"Sure."

"One, what was your big secret?" I was already pretty sure of what it was, but I needed to hear it out loud.

"I-I like both guys and girls..." he hanged his head down.

"Its nothing to be ashamed of! Either way, we all love you equally. Except me. I love you differently." I stared into his deep eyes.

"I- wait you love me?" He looked at me confused.

I hesitated for a moment before pulling him into a hug. "I do love you Mumbo. Do you love me?"

"Yes." Mumbo kissed me and we went to the couch and watched a movie.

After a while, both of our phones buzzed at the same time. We looked at each other, confused, and then looked at our phones.

"Big news, Mumbo Jumbo-"

"Is Bi." Mumbo finished. Then he wrapped his arm around me, and said "It doesn't matter. As long as I'm with you."

I spent so long writing this and I am super sleep deprived. I hope this makes up a bit for not updating for a while, and the short crappy chapters. Hope you enjoyed!
