The next day Grian had asked X to form a sever wide meeting to inform the hermits on what he had been keeping hidden from them. He was visibly shaking, his legs almost gave in. Mumbo saw this and helped calm Grian down before they flew to the meeting spot at Sahara.

When they arrived everyone was all ready there, waiting on the presence. Everyone was seated around the table and Xisuma was off to the side waiting for the moment to hush everyone up to hear the explanation.

As Mumbo and Grian entered the room Xisuma signalled for silence so that Grian could speak. Grian tensed up and Mumbo squeezed his hand to calm him as he began to speak.

"I ow you all a long awaited explanation for that diary and what I have been hiding." He slowly took off his shirt and revealed the scars from the top surgery.
"The truth is I am transgender....I was afraid to tell you all because of my past, but that only lead to me getting very depressed and....cutting" he shows them all his arm as they all listened intently.

He put his shirt back on and waited for someone to ask a question or tell him they hated him or for Xisuma to kick him off the server,but no one did. Instead they all got up and went over to Grian to....HUG HIM????

He was in shock. He thought for sure they would hate him and want him off the server the second he came out. He looked over to Mumbo who just smiled and said "I told you they would be okay with it."  But then the first question was asked.
"So....what about your past made you scared to tell us?" Tango asked.
What felt like an eternity was spent answering questions and explaining his life to the hermits before they finally understood why he felt the way he did. Just when Xisuma was about to wrap everything up, Grian said one more thing.
"There's something else....I'm gay" No one was particularly shocked...well.. everyone accept the oblivious Mumbo Jumbo. Then Doc asked a question that was sparked in everyone's minds.
"Alright then.... is there someone you like?" He asked with a sly smirk that made some hermits giggle. Grian went bright red as False spoke up.
" HE DOES! HES GONE RED!!!" She laughed which only made Grian's face grow redder. At this point his face was a similar colour to his red sweater he had on.
"Come one Grian, tell us who it is!" Stress jokingly whined.
"Yeah come on G. Spill!!!" Iskall chimed in which did not please Grian in the slightest.
"I don't think I should...I don't think he even likes me like that." Grian replies which made the whole room groan.
"You won't know if you don't say, now tell us!" He heard Jevin say as the room agreed.
"FINE!...it's Mumbo.." He muttered so quietly no one could hear.
"What was that?" Ren said slyly.
"ITS....Mumbo.." he hesitantly said.
"Sorry one more time G, didn't quite catch that." Ren said again.
"ITS MUMBO!" He shouted.
Everyone gave each other a look and then Joe pointed to Mumbo's face. When Grian turned around he saw something that made his heart skip a beat. The spoon was blushing madly and had the biggest smile you have ever scene. He slowly approached Grian and looked down at him. He smiled and picked Grian up in his arms. He kissed Grian which made him tense up but then he started to give in as the room around them exploded into cheers. As they parted for air Mumbo said "I love you Grian."
" I love you more you gigantic spoon" he giggled in reply.
Mumbo Sternly said "impossible" and pulled him back into a kiss.
