    Summary

    Grian has never been one to complain about resource gathering. It was part of how it went. You made cool stuff, you had to do the shit work of gathering all the impossibly hard materials needed to make the cool stuff. This was his sisyphus boulder. The constant gathering but never enough for it to last. It was just the way things were. He was, however, always happy to complain about the little nonsense songs and constant yammering of his uninvited companion on his sand-gathering adventure.

    Scar, Mr. Good Times himself, had invited himself on this resource-gathering adventure after seeing Grian when flying overhead and insisted that he offer some help.

    Oh, joy.

    Summary

    “I don’t know if I could escape again,” Grian confesses, and Mumbo says-

    “What if someone could find you?”

    “What?”

    Grian pulls away, and finally, this is something Mumbo can do with his hands. He leans back to look at him, eyebrows furrowing, and Mumbo rests his palms on Grian’s arms, holding him in place. “If you’re taken,” he says. “Would it be comforting to know that someone could find you?”

    Grian laughs, and it’s not a good one, either, but it’s measures better than the hysterical one he’d let out earlier. “Mumbo, what?” he asks again. “I- I appreciate it, I do, but compasses are server-wide. They can’t even handle the Nether.” It’s not quite snarked but said with just enough of an 'I thought you knew this' tone that at any other time, it would be a hit to Mumbo’s redstoning ego.

    “No, not a compass,” he dismisses. “You know, marriage. A spouse could find you anywhere. The whole… soul-bond thing.”

    Okay, so he’s a redstoner, not a scientist.

     

    Or: Grian has an issue. Mumbo proposes an... unconventional solution. There's no possible way marrying one another could go wrong.

    Summary

    “Impulse says you’re hurt,” Bdubs tells him. That makes Etho react. He turns, looking at Bdubs.
    “Not angry?”
    “He says you’re lashing out out of pain, not anger.”
    “I didn’t know he was a psychologist.” His tone is biting. Bdubs hears it.
    “Etho,” he scolds. And it’s just that. Just his name, and Etho feels ashamed and smaller. “He’s worried about you.”
    Oh, screw Impulse and his perfect boyfriend attitude. Etho will punch him in the face next time he sees him.
    “I know what’s happening, Ladders,” Bdubs continues, and Etho snorts, almost despite himself.
    “Somehow, I very much doubt that.”
    Because Bdubs is in tune with people’s feelings, and he is a very observant person, but Etho has loved him in silence for years, has spent all of this time by his side, and Bdubs has never said a thing.
    So he feels perfectly allowed to be skeptical.
    “You’re jealous,” Bdubs says, and Etho forgets how to breathe.

    Etho is jealous of the growing bond between Bdubs and Impulse, right up until he isn't.

    Summary

    Impulse exhales where he’s making himself some tools, rolling his shoulders. He looks over in the distance, taking in the view of the grassy slopes, the shape of what looks like a pillager outpost standing proudly. Impulse bites his lip, looking back at his work.

    If Impulse is honest with himself, the idea of soulmates this time around is… It’s really nice.

    The main issue is, of course, the shared health. Looking after himself is simple enough. Looking out for another person on top of that is… A little worrying to think about.

    In which Impulse is in love with his soulmate, gets married to him, and confesses his love. In that order, with some details in between.
