Grian was clingy. Everyone knew this and some even stayed away from him for being so. The builder knew that but he just couldn't change it. He always felt paranoid as if something was going to get him when he was left alone in a room by himself.
He knew someone wasn't going to be with him at all times so he got 2 cats.
Pearl and Maui.
Grian always took his cats everywhere and even brought him to parties. He was happy.

Everyday Grian was working on a sketch for a building of Sahara, Maui on his lap and pearl on the ground. The builder got sketched the shape down out of wood and nails so it was still unstable to go under. He got up and checked the time. He walked to the cat bowls and filled them with food and water.
"Maui! Pearl! Food time!" He exclaimed, calling for them.
Maui came but Grian started to get worried when he couldn't see pearl.
"P-pearl?" He said, looking around the place. He soon found his cat before he broke out into a panic.
"Phew.. pearl you almost scared me there. I almost-" The hermit was interrupted by a notification. He picked up his communicator and checked it while walking pearl back to their food bowl.

<Xisumavoid> Iskall, Mumbo, Grian will you show us what you have for Sahara so far?

<MumboJumbo> Sure, just don't go to the first building, Grian hasn't put concrete onto the sketch yet so it's pretty unstable.

<Iskall85> I mean I'm fine with showing off what we god so far, as long as you guys are okay with it

<Grian> I'm okay with it @(・●・)@

<MumboJumbo> I guess that means we're all okay, meet up at the fountain I guess?

<Iskall85> I'm already here (;'༎ຶٹ༎ຶ')

<Grian> I haven't even left yet

Grian brought pearl with him after they finished eating, leaving Maui with his toys.
Grian arrived with his car on his shoulders.
"Grian since when did you have a cat?"
"Since elementary, I think this is the first time you've seen pearl correct?"
Xisuma nodded.
"Oh Xisuma. Pearl is Grian's cat. You could call them best friends in a way, Grian always has pearl near him when he's not at a party of some sort." Iskall explained.
"Oh that's cool!"

The hermit's talked about Sahara but halfway through the conversation, Pearl slipped out of Grian's hands leaving him to go look for him.
Grian noticed a trail of white fur going into the unstable building. He sighed and walked in, panicking to try and find pearl.
P-pearl..?" He said, looking for him.
He saw Pearl in the corner of the building. Grian tried catching up with him as the building started rocking. He noticed the ceiling was collapsing and Grian took a dive over his cat protecting it from the boards and nails that were falling.

They heard the crash from inside the Redstone building, rushing over and seeing that the whole sketch of the building has crashed.

Xisuma rushed in while Iskall and Mumbo tried to move the wooded boards and nails off of Grian.
Grian was bleeding, passed out because of a wooden board to his head and multiple stacked on top of him.
Xisuma gently lifted him to see his cat he had been protecting.
"Oh that's messed up.."
"horrid.."
Xisuma helped Iskall and Mumbo put Grian and his cat in a bed and put IV's in.

Months later, Grian woke up and saw that everyone was surrounded him. He was confused until he remembered what happened and noticed that he had IV's in his arms.
"Stress..? False? Why am I-.. wheres pearl?"

Everyone gave a worried look at each other, knowing what happened to his cat.

"Grian I'm sorry but-"
False tried to explain but the worry over Grian kept growing.

"False, don't tell me that pearls dead... He's not dead right?!"

"..."

"F-false..?"

Tears had fell from Grian's eyes, sorrow and guilt had filled the air.
He curled up in a ball and had wrapped himself in a blanket so nobody could see him crying.
Maui crawled into his lap which made him feel better but was still mourning his cat's death, sad as ever.

Soon everyone had left, they'd all worried for Grian and feared for his health after the death.
Mumbo stayed with Grian, comforting him the whole night and he soon let go of it.
He had Maui and he knew that pearl was still with him no matter what. But if he could revive a special someone. It would be his beloved cat.

Hey reader, are you crying?
