Season 6. Still no Keralis. Xisuma was getting worried. So were the hermits, but not for Keralis.

It started off small. His hair was knotted and the visor on his helmet was filthy. No one thought twice about it. Then he stopped taking care of himself. Nobody noticed until Mumbo needed some ice for water streams and found that all of the shops were out, so he went to the first hermit he could think of. Xisuma.

When Mumbo finally found the hermit, he nearly dropped his rockets. Xisuma was curled in a ball on his floor, crying. His helmet had been discarded to the side and his hair was a rats nest. His clothes were wrinkled and he smelled awful. It became very clear to Mumbo that something was horribly wrong.

He flew away, trying to find someone who was more qualified to help. He called an emergency meeting and waited for the others to arrive. Everyone was panicked. Mumbo explained what he saw and they were shocked. The group narrowed down their options on what could have gone wrong for their admin to be in such an awful shape. The group of hermits were arguing about whether to go to X or leave him alone when they got a message.

Keralis has joined the game

It clicked. Keralis knew Xisuma the best, so he could help cheer him up.

Keralis: Hello everyone!

Tango: Hey K! Welcome to season 6! Do you think you could go to this giant ball thing in the middle of the ocean?

Keralis: Of course <3

When they finally saw the swede, they raced to get him an elytra and some rockets. He was confused as to why his friends were in such a rush, but he figured it was important. Python grabbed Keralis's hand to signal that he should follow all of the hermits. They flew out of the ocean and landed in the admin's base. Mumbo motioned to the room Xisuma was in and then flew away with the rest of their friends. Keralis opened the door and his heart broke into a million pieces. He saw Xisuma, his best friend, sobbing on the ground. Keralis couldn't take it. He slowly approached the man, careful to not startle him.

Keralis reached out a gentle hand and placed it on Xisuma's shoulder. Said man flinched then cast his gaze ahead of him. He gasped and tackled Keralis to the ground in a hug.

"Kerrie," he was breathing heavily, "oh my goodness, Kerrie. I missed you so much!"

"Aww Shashwammy! I missed you, too!" Keralis was smiling ear to ear until he remembered what X looked like just a few moments ago. He pulled away and stood up. Xisuma looked broken when he was released from his grasp. Keralis reached down, pulled the admin up, and led him to the bathroom after searching for a while. Keralis bent down to turn on the faucet in the bathtub. He poured in some bubble solution and turned to X. He signaled for him to strip down and get into the bath while he left the room.

When Keralis came back with clean clothes and a cup, he was slightly disappointed. Xisuma was sitting on the floor again with silent tears on his cheeks.

"Shashwam, I'm right here, there's no need to cry, I'm not gonna leave you." X nodded. He wiped away his tears and slowly stood up to remove his clothes. Keralis immediately turned away and only looked back after he heard the water splash, signaling that his friend would be in the tub. He took the cup and filled it with bathwater, tipping it over his friend's head. He repeated the action a few times until the admin's hair was thoroughly soaked. Ker poured shampoo in his hands and started to massage Xisuma's scalp. He worked to detangle the knots in his hair as gently as possible, occasionally needing a comb.

Xisuma was scrubbing his own body with a bar of soap. He had to admit, he really liked this. Spending some quality time with Keralis always made him happy. He was so scared that Keralis would leave him. Now that he was having his hair washed by the polish swede, he realized he had nothing to be concerned about. In fact, he felt a little silly now. He grabbed a bottle of face wash and squeezed it on his palms, rubbing it on his face.

Once the bath finished, Keralis turned away as Xisuma dried his body and slipped on his clothes. X brushed his teeth and Keralis cleaned the dark purple window on his helmet. X smiled at his friend, he was so incredibly grateful. Keralis placed the helmet on the sink and felt arms wrap around his torso. He giggled and leaned into the taller man.

"I love you, Kerrie."

"I love you too, Shashwam."

"Welcome to Season 6."

Awww~ This AN at the end would like to say that Xisuma is automatically corrected to either Cushman or Diana in wattpad. Anyway be sure to drink some water and eat a snack today. I love you! <3
