Chapter Text

Grian knew that yes, he is the new guy on this world, but gosh why didn't anyone warn him of the brown haired elf god (Not a literal god, hopefully..)? It doesn't help that said elf is charming and knows to abuse the fact, making Grian's life a hell.
"Never got your name, newbie." Said elf smiles at the avian, dragging him out of thought. "Uhm.. Grian." He answers, stammering a little out of embarrassment.
 "Pleasure to meet you G! Name is Scar." He winks and Grian's cheeks go red, which doesn't go unseen by the elf, who's smirk only grew. He doesn't know if his cheeks went red because of the wink or the nickname, but a gut feeling tells him it's both
. "Uhm.. you too, Scar." He smiles a little, not knowing how to really talk to him. "So uh, you're an elf?" He asks after a bit of pondering. "Sure am! It's quite nice, but guessing it's more freeing being able to fly." Scar tilts his head and Grian's eyes widen.
 "How can you tell? Not a lot of people can!" He sounds a bit panicked but calms down quickly. Scar hums before answering. "A elf never tells his secrets, birdy." He winks and turns around before Grian can process, and when he does, the elf is gone. Grian groans a little before taking flight to find a place to settle.
He doesn't get far before crashing into Pearl.


"PEARL! WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN ME?" He yells at her, which just makes her chuckle.
 "Warn you about what, brother?" Grian whines loudly. "That there is a HOT ELF IN THIS WORLD?!" He whimpers and lays down in a ball. "Oh you met Scar? Sorry Gri, must've slipped my mind, I forgot you're weak for elves." She smirks when Grian shoots her an angry glare. "I'm not weak for elves, he was just.. attractive." He sits up with a huff. "I want to leave."
"Nope, I'm not missing my chances to mess with you, and who knows, maybe Mister Handsome is your one and only." She winks and Grian hits her hard.
"He may not even be gay." "He doesn't need to be, he could be any other sexuality that likes the same gender." Grian groans, because she is right.
 "Maybe.. but I don't know him well enough!"
"Get to know him then, he is such a charmer, someone who you'd like to hang out with." She wiggles her eyebrows in a teasing manner. He scoffs and stands up, getting rid of any dirt. "But, HOW?" Pearl doubles over in laughter.
 "Brother, you're a pesky bird, talking is your specialty." She pokes his arm and he nods a little.
 "I know! BUT SCAR!" He whines and Pearl shakes her head. "Scar is a normal human, if you can look past the elf part of him."
 "I don't care that he is an elf, I'm an avian so.." Another groan. "It's just the fact that he seems too good for you huh?" She asks and puts hands on his shoulders. "Perhaps." "Gri, you're amazing and if anyone speaks badly about you, they're very wrong." He smiles softly at her words. "Thanks sis, you too." She nods. "Of course I am." She winks and her wings flap a bit. "But now brother, I gotta go, see you later." He waves and watches her fly away.

He huffs and takes flight, flying around to check out the other people's bases.
He stops by a big tree and his jaw hits the floor by the stunning sight.
 "Oh, didn't know you would visit G!" He snaps out of thought and looks at the man. "Ah, just checking the competition you know!" He hums and scratches behind his neck.
 Scar laughs a little and oh god if Grian wasn't already struck by love, he definitely was now, which makes his brain stop up. "Well, have you found a place to build at?" The elf walks closer and tilts his head.
"Nope, still looking around for the right place." He huffs and Scar nods understanding.
 "Well, lucky for you there's a lot of space in this world for you." Now, Grian knows Scar's talking about the whole world, but something tells him he should find a space closer to the elf, maybe..
 "Yeah, but difficult to choose!" He groans and Scar chuckles. "Just a starter base birdy, don't worry about the placement." "I know, I just don't want to make the world ugly with bad placing." He huffs and feels a hand on his shoulder, which makes him look up at green eyes. 𝘖𝘩 𝘮𝘺, 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴!?
He shakes his head and gives him a small smile, and the elf nods.
"I don't think you can make anything ugly G, as long as you have the mind for it." Scar winks before looking at his tree base. "Thank you Scar, your opinion does help a lot, It's a beautiful tree you have!"
 "Always, I'm happy to help." Scar hums happily. 
"And thank you, it's magical." He grins and Grian chuckles. "Really now? I'm not sure if I believe that." He smirks and Scar gasps. "Whaat!? It is!" He says loudly and Grian actually laughs, and it's an amazing feeling he can't remember last time he felt. Scar looks at him and Grian's breath catches a little when meeting the green eyes.
 "Anyways, want to come in or do you need to get going?" Scar asks and Grian blushes a little. "I'd love to, but another day when I'm not busy getting my footing around here." "Of course! You're always welcome here G!" Grian smiles and hums. "You too Scar, you too." Then, he takes off before he can embarrass himself more than he already has.

"Welcome, Grian." He hears when he lands and turns, meeting the admins eyes. "Xisuma! Hello, good to see you!" He smiles a little, ignoring his nerves. "Found anywhere to stay yet or?"
 "Kind of? But I'm not sure how he feels about it." "Who?" X Looks at him curiously and Grian blushes.
 "Uhm.. S-Scar." He whispers and X hums. "Well, I'm sure he'd be fine with it, I know Cub lives close too, so you all would be neighbors." Grian feels a hit of jealousy, before getting himself together when his brain comes to itself. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴. A voice in his head whispers and he nods a bit. "That's nice, where are you building?" "A few hundreds block away, we're all pretty close to each others this time around, which is nice." Grian nods and hums. "Sounds like so, just bummed I wasn't here before, in the other ones.." He sighs a little and X puts a hand on his head, giving it a pat before retracting it. "You had stuff to do, don't put blame on yourself my friend." "I know, but it's sad, I could've met.." 𝙃𝙞𝙢 before. he wants to say, but doesn't get it out, but it seems like X catches on it.
 "You have a whole server time with him, and many more." X says warmly. "True, but I'm just worried that it's too late, or something.." "It's not, at least not yet." X winks and Grian hits him on the shoulder. "Now, get to building newbie, before I kick you out." He jokingly threatens and Grian groans loudly.
 "Gotta ask him first, but don't wanna bother him when I just about saw him." His wings flap a little and X shakes head. "Scar loves to help, you're not going to bother him, don't worry your head about it." He nods and smiles thankful.
- Thank you Xisuma, I do appreciate it. "Always happy to help, if there's more you can just ask." Grian nods and looks after the admin walk away before rocketing off.

The avian groans annoyed and takes up his com, searching for the elf's contact, then starts to type, deleting and rewriting for a few minutes before he throws it hard, not hearing the chuckle. "G, what's the problem?" Grian flinches at the voice and covers himself with his wings. "Woah, didn't mean to scare you, birdy." He whispers softly and this time, Grian actually 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 to the ground. "Stop being so sweet.." He mutters out weakly, not really meant for the elf to hear it. "Of course I am going to, why wouldn't I?" Grian peeks through his feather, seeing green eyes already looking at him. 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶. He shakes his head a bit and huffs. "I don't know.." Scar chuckles and sits in front of him, handing the com, which Grian takes a little hesitantly. "Birdy, I ain't gonna eat you." Scar whispers and Grian whines.
 "I know, you've proven you don't.." He huffs and deletes the message he had started to type. Scar chuckles before nodding at the com. "Who were you trying to message?" "Well.. you." He says slowly. Scar's head tilts and he lifts a brow. "Oh? what got you so worked up then?" G shrugs and pats down some of his feathers.
 "Well, I couldn't figure out how to formulate it."
 "Well, I'm here now, so?" "I guess.. I wondered if I could base near you and Cub?" Grian's never seen someone's eyes light up like that, or it might just be his imagination.
 "Of course you can! Why didn't you ask earlier tho?" Grian's face goes red and he hides behind his feathers again. "Uh.. uhm.. I.. I didn't know for sure if it would be right of me to intrude, you know?" Scar scoffs a little and shakes his head. "Nonsense! You're welcome wherever you want G, no need to ask!" Scar hums and Grian whines. 𝙊𝙝 𝙒𝙃𝙔 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙤 𝙎𝙒𝙀𝙀𝙏 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙆𝙄𝙉𝘿!? Grian looks at the elf. "Thank you."
 "Of course! Do you need help starting up or?
" Spending more time with him sounds both amazing and awful. "It'd be nice to have some company, and we'll get to know each other better." He smiles and the elf nods enthusiastically.
 "Lead the way birdy!" He says and Grian chuckles and flies up, hearing rockets behind him seconds after. They land a few moments later on the space where the base is going to be.

"So what's the plan here?" Scar asks curiously, looking around like he is waiting for the go signal. "Well, I have some blueprints if you're interested in taking a look?" He puts some blocks down and lays the blueprints down. Scar comes on his side and looks at the blueprints with curiosity. Grian catches himself staring at the elf and forces himself to listen to Scar. "We can, instead of building this pillar there, build it there, I think it'd make it look more free." Grian nods and hums in thought. "Of course, it's your building so if you like it like that we can build it so." Scar says after a moment of silence. Grian smiles softly. "I like your idea, and I can see what you mean." Scar breathes out of relief and his shoulders relax, which Grian didn't know were tense. "Oh, and why a wooden rooftop? People here love arson birdy." Scar leans against the blocks. "It gives a more natural look, and I doubt that people set fire on buildings." "Perhaps, never know." "Oh Scar, they should know not to mess with me." Grian winks and sees Scar's eyes widen before going back to normal. Scar smirks mischievously and walks closer, making Grian back up until his back is against a tree. Grian feels his breath stop when Scar is inches away. "Oh songbird." He whispers and Grian feels like he could melt away just from Scar standing near him, which doesn't make breathing any easier. "S- Scar." He say weakly and feels a gentle touch on his chin.

"Songbird, has anyone told you that you're so handsome?" He asks it so softly and Grian's eyes widen a little at the compliment. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘺. "Well, Pearl has but she's my sister.." He answers when he has collected his thoughts and they're more sorted. Scar looks at him like he just got disappointed in everything in life. "Well." He starts and looks into black eyes. "You are, incredibly handsome." Scar says it like it's the most important thing in life.
Grian smiles weakly before leaning against the hand. "Thank you Scar, you too." Scar grins and pulls away. "Building." He says and Grian groans. "You can't tease me like that and expect me to manage to build!" "Of course I can, songbird." Scar winks and finds some blocks in his inventory that is going to be used. Grian slides down the tree and pants a little, watching the elf put down the smaller parts of the base. 𝘏𝘦 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦. "Marry me already." Grian hears himself mutter, but luckily the other doesn't, at least he doesn't say anything. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘮? 𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵? He stops the thoughts before they get out of hand. Grian mutters annoyed and hears the elf laugh at him, which makes his cheeks go red. He gets to work after like ten minutes. "Scar! I looked away for a minute!?" He screeches and Scar winks, before leaning against the build. "That's what you're supposed to not do darling, you'll miss the show." He smirks and Grian hides behind his wings, flustered out of his mind. "I wanted to help.." He whines and Scar comes closer. "I enjoy building songbird, and I just started, there's plenty of building left." He comes out from hiding and sees how close they are and his whole face goes hot. "Hi there, birdy." Scar smirks and Grian whines, because he knows that the elf is right. "Up you go." He hears before he is lifted up on his feet. He grunts and nods slowly.

"Fine." He mutters before looking around the chest Scar had put out. "Hey, you wanted to build birdy, don't complain now." Scar snickers and Grian hits him. "Don't get smart with me, mister." He huffs and Scar winks. "You seem to be enjoying it." He hums and continues to place blocks, not paying attention on how his words affect the avian. Grian scoffs and places blocks. They build for three hours with breaks in between. "It was fun songbird!" Scar hums and glides down to the ground, Grian looking at him mesmerized, before shaking his head. "Very, thank you for the help Scar, now I know who to call if I need help with future builds!" His wings flap a little and Scar smiles softly. "I'm always happy to help birdy." He winks and looks around. Oh those nicknames..
"Good to know, what's your plan now?" "Building the upstairs in my tree, I need to go buy some stuff from Cub first tho." Grian feels a pang of jealousy. "Oh?" He tries to sound optimistic but some jealousy slip and Scar lifts a brow at him. "You good G?"
"Huh? OH, yeah I'm fine, have fun at Cub's!" Scar walks closer and leans down towards him. "Uhu? Sounds like you're jealous birdy." Scar smirks and Grian's eyes widen. "I- I'm not jealous! And what even would I be jealous of, you and Cub are friends?!"
Scar smirks slyly and Grian frowns. "You sure about that my dear bird?" Scar tilts his head and Grian scoffs. "Everyone has said so." "Oh? Who have you talked to hm? " "What is this you're trying on?!" "Nothing, I'm just.. curious." Scar looks like he's thinking.
"Xisuma and Pearl.." He whispers and Scar chuckles. "They may be correct, or not." He winks and Grian snarls a little and hits him on the chest, being met with a strong force and his eyes widen. ABS? "Don't look so shocked darling." Scar hums and looks down at the hand, still on his chest.

"I-I.." Grian whines and let's himself down on the ground, hiding himself so the elf can't see him blushing. "Darling bird." Scar whispers softly and Grian feels like he's going to explode. "Can you look at me?" He asks softly and Grian peaks through his wings.
"Hi, you know if I make you uncomfortable you can tell me right?" Oh.. Grian didn't think of how his reactions could be taken. "Scar.." Grian whispers and the elf nods. "I'll stop if you want me to." Grian shakes his head, throat dry. "Don't stop, please." He whispers weakly and Scar stares at him wide eyed. "You.. enjoy me tea-" "You're flirting.." Grian stops him midsentence and Scar chuckles. "Perhaps, difficult to not, with you looking so good." "I'm gross and sweaty, nothing with me right now is screaming good looking." Scar's eyes go small and he sits down, taking his hands and holding them. "You haven't looked at yourself in a bit I guess." Scar says and nothing in his voice tells that he isn't speaking truth, his truth. Grian scoffs a bit, but can't help but blush.
"Grian, you really are so, so handsome." He is looking straight at him when he says it and Grian barely resists the urge to kiss him. "Look at you." He mutters and Scar let go of his right hand so he can put the hand on his chin. "You look better." Scar hums and Grian whines. "Kiss me already you moron." "Woah there, take me on a date first." Scar chuckles before pulling him closer to himself and kisses him roughly. Grian gasps into Scar’s mouth and feels the man smirk, which makes G hit him before pulling away.
"You moron." He whispers, out of breath. Scar grins and kisses him again, dragging him on his lap and Grian gasps loudly when the man’s hands go under his shirt and near his wings. He whimpers when the hands rub his back, before arching a little.
"Enjoying yourself songbird?" Scar asks teasingly. "Not more than you do, apparently." He shoots back and Scar hums against his neck. "Perhaps." He whispers and Grian’s wings fluff up and he blushes. "Idiot." He mutters and Scar hums. "I’m your idiot then."
He whispers and Grian blushes. "Guess you are." He whispers back and Scar kisses him again, which makes Grian smirk, but he kisses back, how could he not?

Chapter Text

Scar walked around the house before looking at himself in the mirror and sighing. His chest scars making him uncomfortable.“Scaaaar!?” He startles out of thoughts at the sound of his boyfriend. He smiles a bit when the other comes inside the room, but it doesn’t quite reach his eyes.

“My beautiful boyfriend.” He sighs and goes closer to Scar, before hugging him. “Hello, had a nice day?” Scar asks softly, just to make sure his voice doesn’t break. Grian hums against his back. “Eh, it was as alright that it could be without you by my side.” He feels the avian kiss him and he sighs. “Well, I guess you got something out of the way though.” He tries to sound optimistic, but his voice cracks a bit.

Grian looks at him through the mirror, a confused expression on his face, before realizing what the elf is saying. “Gods, Scar..” Grian hugs him tighter, almost like he wants to get inside Scar. “You moron.”

G shakes his head and turns him so they stand eye to eye, or.. as eye to eye they can. “Huh?” Scar looks at him with fake confusion. “You know I want you around me at all times, the hours I was without you were horrible.” Grian kisses him on the nose. “I-“ Scar looks away in fear of starting to cry. “Scar, look at me, please?” Grian asks it softly so when Scar shakes his head, his heart breaks a bit.

“Baby..” Grian whispers and Scar just.. starts bawling and lowers himself to the ground, standing up being too much. Grian hurries down to the floor with him and hugs him again, even when Scar tries to fight it. “Let me hold you Scar, you deserve it..” Grian runs his fingers through the long hair the elf has. Scar cries into the other male’s shirt, holding him close, even though he hates himself for it. He calms down after like 20 minutes and his voice is hoarse and he coughs, which makes his throat hurt and he grimaces. He tries to pull away from the embrace of the avian, who only hisses annoyed. “G-“ He winces and hiccups a bit.

"𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙄 𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙤𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙙𝙤 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜." Scar looks at him a bit annoyed, but gives in, knowing the avian better than anyone. The bird chirps at that and puts his legs around the elf, which gets a choked out laugh out from him. They sit like that for two hours before Scar’s knees start hurting. “G- I gotta stand up before my knees stop working.” Grian groans a bit before reluctantly pulling away and helps the other up. Scar doesn’t look at him, wiping his eyes a little with his hand.

Grian takes his hand and kisses his knuckles, enjoying seeing how he gets red. “I do love you, you know.” Grian whispers to his hand and Scar sighs. “Love you too.” Scar says, voice still cracking. Grian huffs and hugs the male. “You know, you are the best.” Grian looks up at him and smiles. “Eh, I don’t know about that birdy.” Scar pats his head and pulls away so he can put a shirt on, if only so he doesn’t need to look at his chest anymore. Grian looks at him, sadness filling his heart seeing how his usual overconfident boyfriend changes to the opposite in a matter of minutes. Scar usually can handle walking around without a shirt on, but after the last death game he just.. stopped.

“Scar?” That gets his attention and the elf turns around to look at him with a lifted brow. “Hm?” “What happened in double life, that you haven’t told me?” He watches the male’s face fall and he immediately regrets asking. “I’m sorry.. I- I probably shouldn’t have asked, I’m just worried..” Grian starts rambling before Scar goes over to the bed. Scar pats the space at the end and G reluctantly moves over and sits.

“Well.. I don’t know how to start it all..” Scar mutters and Grian takes his hand. “Tell me what you can, I’ll piece it together.” He hums a bit. Scar shakes his head a bit. “Well.. everyone here knows I’m trans right?” Grian lifts a brow and nods. “Apparently not the other ones we played with, other than Jimmy..” Scar’s eyes start watering and G squeezes his hand. “I thought you were out?..” “I am, to people here on Hermitcraft.” Grian sighs, letting him continue.

“Ah.. uh.” Scar groans and leans against the wall. “You know how much I like being shirtless right? Or.. liked.” He whispers the last bit, which pains Grian more than he wants to admit, but he nods nonetheless. “Some of them saw my top surgery scars, and I thought it wasn’t going to be a problem seeing how I’m covered in scars, but apparently.” He takes a breather and lets the other process his words. “They were calling me slurs, BigB being one of the worst..” Grian hears how hesitant he is saying the other male’s name and Grian hates himself more than he already does, trying to remember anytime he may have heard anything from BigB that might have been transphobic.

“Don’t try to remember if he said anything to you, he only told it to my face when I was alone.” Scar says under his breath when seeing the avian’s expression. “That’s why you didn’t want to be alone?” Grian asks carefully and Scar slowly nods. “Oh Scar, I’m so sorry that I didn’t see that he was so horrible to you..” Scar chuckles bitterly. “I didn’t tell you about it, I didn’t want to ruin any friendships.” Grian looks at him and cups his face. “You think I value friendships more than my own relationship? Scar, no one matters more to me than you.” Grian kisses him on the mouth and whines a bit when the elf doesn’t return it.

“Scar, I love you, alright? BigB is an ass for how he treated you, the others too.” Scar leans his forehead against Grian’s. “Well, not everyone was transphobic against me..” He whispers and Grian nods a bit. “But the ones that were did ruin your self esteem and I hate seeing you like this..” He says it carefully so he doesn’t step over any barriers that may be there. Scar smiles weakly and kisses him on the mouth, which makes Grian instantly latch onto him, putting his legs and arms around his boyfriend.

Grian stops him before he goes too far deep and Scar whines into his skin, making him chuckle. “Hey.” He smiles softly and Scar scoffs a bit. “They didn’t ruin my self esteem.” He whispers into the skin and Grian looks at him with a lifted eyebrow. “What?” “I did it fine myself..” He leans backwards and Grian looks at him. “Scar.. you relapsed?” Scar looks away and that’s enough of an answer for him.

“Okay, I’m not mad at you, I can hear you thinking it.” He lets his fingers run through the male’s hair. “Healing isn’t easy and you are doing amazing, relapsing is hard but it’s a process in it all.” Scar nods a bit and hides himself in his hands. “I know it is, I’m just angry and disappointed at myself.. I was getting better!” He stands up and Grian flinches a bit at the suddenness of it. “Scar, baby, what you’re feeling is fair, but you need to understand that I am here for you, whatever you need.” Scar looks at him and nods a bit before walking around. “I don’t know how to fix myself.” He says brokenly and Grian feels himself tear up. “You don’t need to be fixed, you’re perfect as you are, even if you don’t believe it.”

Scar scoffs at his words and Grian looks at him offended. “Scar.” Grian says and Scar lifts a brow at him. “You know me better that 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 else, I wouldn’t dare lie to you.” Scar dares to roll his eyes a bit and Grian sighs and walks over to him. “Grian..” he whispers and the avian frowns. “You didn’t finish your story, did you?” He asks gently and Scar shakes his head a bit. “Maybe..” He leans against the wall and groans. “Joel was also a part of it.. I didn’t want to say anything about it since uh..” He gestures to the male and looks away. “What did I tell you hm? About friendships and you?” Scar whimpers a bit, trying to keep in tears. “That you value our relationship more than friends..” He whispers and G nods aggressively.

“Exactly, Joel is nothing compared to you, neither BigB or any other, I love you.” Scar slides down to the ground again, this time much calmer and G follows, not hugging him yet. “Can you tell me what exactly they did to you, or does it hurt too much?”
“Ah.. well, they did try to kill me multiple times, but I think BigB was afraid of that, seeing that I was bonded to you.” Grian nods a bit and clutches at his own sweater, just so he doesn’t touch Scar.
“I think he might be a bit.. obsessed with you..” Scar whispers, which makes Grian’s eyes widen.

“What do you mean?” Scar snorts a bit. “Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed the longing looks he gives you.” Grian shakes his head. “Scar, I mean this, I have eyes on you only.” Scar smiles a bit, but it’s not real. “Eh, no one knows we’re together, I’m not surprised he likes you.” Grian sighs and holds the male’s hands, which makes Scar blush and look away.
“BigB can like whoever the heck he wants, I’m not leaving you when I finally can have you.” He kisses the elf’s hands and that gets a confused noise out of him, it makes Grian grin.

“Anyway, continue when you can.” Grian hums, wanting to hear Scar talk about their so called friends. “Well, I think BigB and Joel wanted to try getting us to split up and end our soul bound, just so they could get me out of the game quickly and so BigB could get you for himself..” Grian stares at the elf, not sure what to feel. “And they almost succeeded, in ending our everything..” Scar whispers and Grian latches onto him and feel tears fall down.
“I’ve been so blind.. I’m so, so sorry Scar!” He says into the male’s neck and feels Scar’s arms go around him.

“Not your fault Gri, I never told you about it.” Grian hits him a bit and Scar winces. “I thought you acted strange in it, but I dismissed it as just you being, well I don’t exactly know.. what I’m trying to say is, I should’ve known!” Scar shakes his head aggressively.
“Gri, you couldn’t have known it whatsoever, I didn’t want anyone to know anything about it, I didn’t want anybody to judge me nor to hate them.”
“Gods Scar, you should hate them!?” Grian pulls a bit back to look at him. “And you know I’m not capable of hating anyone, even if they hurt me.” Grian looks at his green eyes helplessly. “But-.” “G, I know that I should hate em, but I can’t.. I don’t like them, but neither do I hate them.”

“Fiinee.. I can hate them for the both of us.” He nods and smiles a bit. Scar laughs for the first time in a while and G’s heart warms. “But you can’t hate em next life season..” He whispers and Grian shudders a bit. “I can try, damn I’ll kill them if they even try.”
Scar shakes his head and kisses his neck. “I love you and you know that, but you don’t need to protect me from them, they know the rules in the games and it’s not like they can get me here..” just when Scar says that they both get a ping in their coms.

𝗫𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗮: Hello! We are holding a meeting at spawn in 10 minutes!
𝗚𝗲𝗺: What? Why??
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗲: Didn’t we already have this weeks meeting?
𝗫𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗮: I’ll tell you all in 7 minutes.

The two exchange a look. “You don’t have a idea on what is going on?” They both ask in unison, which makes them chuckle. “Guess that answers it, shall we get going?” Grian asks and stands up, Scar nods and follows. He looks himself in the mirror and fixes himself up before grabbing G’s hand and they fly out and to spawn.

“There the lovebirds are, finally.” X hums and the two blush. “Apologies Xi, we got a bit caught up in something.” “Spare us the details.” A muttered voice chimes in and everyone laughs.

When it’s calm again, Pearl is the one to speak first.
“What’s this meeting about?” “Right!” The admin claps his hands a bit. “I’ve had some people come to me and ask if we could open the server up for some visitors.” Everyone looks at the male with curiosity.
“And I have managed to get a portal from the Empires server and they’re going to be here tomorrow morning.” Scar tenses up in Grian’s hold and G tries to calm him down. The others start celebrating, ignoring the two lovers. “No..” Scar whispers, not meant for anyone else to hear other than Grian, but he notices the look from the admin.

𝗫𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴?
𝗚𝘁𝘄𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗘𝗵.. 𝗜𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴?
𝗫𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗬𝗲𝘀, 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗱.
𝗚𝘁𝘄𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗢𝗵.. 𝗔𝗹𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.
𝗫𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗜𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗸𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿?

Scar shakes in the avian’s hold and shakes his head, which the admin sees and he nods and walks away from the rest, signaling for the elf to follow, which he slowly does.

“Scar, what’s wrong?” He asks and Scar shakes his head a bit. “I.. is there anyone else other from Empires that is coming?” “I was thinking of asking BigB and the others that were in the life series but aren’t in Empires, but that’s what the meeting was mainly going to be about.”
Scar immediately wipes away tears that start rolling and tries to keep his legs from giving up.
Xisuma looks at him horrified. “Scar, buddy, you need to tell me what has happened.” “I don’t want BigB or Joel here.. I can’t deal with that.. please X”
Xisuma hugs the male a bit. “Scar.. I do have to ask the others, you know how the meetings work when it comes down to this..” The admin hates seeing his friends in so distress, it breaks his heart.

“I-I know.. but X.. they’re not..” he hiccups a bit and hugs the admin tightly. “I’m not going to force it out from you, but we do have to ask the others, okay?”
“Yeah.. it’ll be fine whatever happens..” Scar pulls away and X sighs. “Come back when you’re ready hm? Should I get Grian?” Scar shakes his head.
“No, I’ll come back in a few.” X nods and gives him a pat on the shoulder before walking back.
He sees how the avian follows him, but decides it’s better to not acknowledge it.

“Alright! Now to the next question!” When he has everyone’s attention he continues. “I was thinking of asking BigB and Martyn if they also wanted to visit, is anyone against it, please raise your hand.” X sees how Grian’s eyes widen and slowly raises a hand, just so the admin can see and he sighs. When no one else says anything against it he mouths a sorry to Grian, and Scar, who has come back. “Well! Then that’s settled and I’ll talk to them on when they want to get in, please don’t start any wars here, Grian.” The avian hisses offended. “Wasn’t thinking about that.”

Xisuma sighs sadly at how messed up Scar looks in Grian’s arms, it still surprises him that the others don’t see it. He doesn’t like seeing the usual happy elf being sad, it’s strange. He shakes his head and smiles a bit at the others celebrating.

“It’ll be fine I’ll just.. hide until they leave.” Scar sniffles and hides himself in the avian’s arm.
“Scar.. you know you can’t.” “X!” Scar suddenly calls out and Grian flinches.
“Yes?” X walks over. “Can you skip my bases at the tour?” The elf asks. “Scar, your base is so gigantic and out in the open, it’s impossible to skip it..”
“Please Xisuma, I don’t want them to know my whereabouts.” “X is right Scar.. but, say it’s mine instead and that my base is Scar’s, I can deal with it if they come barging into the base, Scar shouldn’t have to deal with them.” Scar stares at the avian with big eyes. “I’ll try, I’m sorry Scar..” Scar shakes his head. “Don’t, it’s not your fault.” X rubs his shoulder and walks away, ending the meeting. “I’m gonna die.”
Scar says, as if it’s a big deal, which it could’ve been but there’s no permadeaths here.

“Perhaps, but this isn’t double life, you’ll respawn.”
“I’ll be stuck in an endless death loop.” Scar whines and Grian kisses him. “I won’t let them close.” Scar nods a bit and stands up. “Okay.. I need to clean the base up and I promised Pearl diamonds if she helped.” Grian groans. “Fine, I’ll see you later lover boy.” He kisses the other and spreads his wings, then flies away.

❥❥❥ꨄ❥❥❥

It’s been a few hours since the meeting and he’s just about finished cleaning the chest monsters all over his bases with Pearl. “So, are you excited for tomorrow?” Pearl suddenly asks and Scar coughs a bit. “Err, yeah, I’ve missed the lifers kinda, it’ll be fun to interact again, what about you?” “Yeah, I think it’ll be interesting to see them try to figure out everything, where do you think they’ll base?”
“Maybe with their soul bounds? But the others I have no clue, they’re apparently allowed to make something for themselves which I think is quite generous.” Pearl laughs a bit at that. “Yeah, don’t you have a place in scarland that people can live in for a bit?” “I do, but I’m not exactly sure if it’s ready for people living there.”

Pearl hums a bit. “Who are you more excited to meet again?” “Ah, I- Maybe Jimmy, I’m not sure.” 𝘑𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥, 𝘱𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘎𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭'𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. “Really? I guess he is fun to be around, but I have to say it.” She chuckles and Scar cracks a smile. “Hm, we have a bit in common so, he is also easy to just talk to, I’m not worried of saying anything wrong..” Pearl smiles at the confession. “I’m glad he makes you feel safe.”
“Don’t tell Grian that, he’ll be jealous.” Scar chuckles and Pearl hums. “He has a reason to be jealous, look at you! You’re a snack!” She says and hits him softly.

“Oh you flatter me Pearl.” He grins and hits her back.
“Now now mister, haven’t you heard that you’re not supposed to hit a woman?” “Self defense.” Scar shoots back and grins wide. Pearl pushes him.
“It was fun hanging out, it’s been way too long.”
He nods. “The same Pearl, thanks for the help and see you!” “You’ll be welcoming the people tomorrow, won’t you?” “Oh, yeah if uh, I have time.” He nods and Pearl sighs and nods, then leaves.

❥❥❥ꨄ❥❥❥

Scar does force himself to go welcome the newcomers, but only because Pearl begged him, even Grian couldn’t get her to leave it be. “Maybe it won’t be that bad when there’s so many people here.” Grian tried to reassure him, but his anxiety doesn’t go away. “Welcome everybody! We’ll all introduce ourselves and say something about you.” X starts and everyone nods. They start introducing themselves and then it’s Scar and Grian’s turn. “Hello! You probably already know who we are, but I am Grian! I don’t enjoy building the back of buildings, so I usually get some help around here with it.” He smiles a bit and looks over at Scar. “Elo, I’m Scar and well, I’m an elf.” He smiles his usual charming smile. Everyone says hello and start making some small talk.

“Scar!” The elf hears his name and spins around just in time to catch the avian coming to hug him. “Hello Jimmy! Careful, your brother might get jealous if you get some feathers on me.” “Oh no worries, Tango is the same.” They let go and stare at each other. “It’s been too long huh?” Scar huffs and Jimmy laughs. “It has, how ya been?” “Oh you know, just getting done building bases and all that.” He hums. “What about you?” “I’ve been alright, it’s strange being here though, seeing Pearl and Grian’s home.. and Tango’s.” His eyes go a bit blank, as if he is gonna cry. “Oh Jim, you can be with him however long you wanna now.” Jimmy nods a bit. “I know, but it is weird, I know we’re a thing but it doesn’t feel the same, still good! But yeah..” “No I get what you’re saying, it was weird getting used to not have a bond anymore.” “God, I was worried that I was the only one feeling that way.” “Oh you definitely aren’t.” A voice chimes in and suddenly the avian is on the fiery man, just kissing and hugging him. Scar smiles and walks over to Grian and leans his head on the others head.

“Do we act like that?” He asks and Grian snorts. “OY! Don’t eat my brother Tango!!” He screams over the loud people, only getting a middle finger as an answer. Scar hums and tries to not kiss the male when the newcomers are around, seeing as they’re not ready to tell everyone about their relationship. “What if BigB asks you out?” Scar whispers. “I’ll reject him, you moron.” He kisses his palm when no one is looking. “I know, but..” “Scar, you don’t have anything to worry about, I love you.” Scar huffs out and kisses his hair subtly, making Grian blush a bit. “I want to kiss you so badly.” Grian whines and Scar smiles softly. “You'll get all the kisses later baby bird.” “I’ll hold you to that.” He grins and Scar nods a bit.

“Kiss me when you preen my wings later.” He sighs and Scar smirks. “Oh? Why only when I preen you?” “Oh shut it, kiss me after too.” “You got yourself a deal baby.” Scar hums and looks back at the ‘little’ group mingle. Scar snarls a bit when seeing BigB look at Grian and possessively puts his arms around the smaller male, who chirps confused. “Scar!?” He yelps and tries to get out, before giving up. “BigB is looking at you, probably why he is doing that.” They both flinch at the admins voice. Grian looks at him confused before looking around and sees BigB look at him, which makes him roll his eyes. Grian looks at Scar and grabs his face.

“Can I?” He asks gently and Scar smirks and lowers his head and kisses him roughly. Xisuma smiles softly at the two and nods proudly, cheering with the others. They both pant against each other, silly happy smiles on their faces. “Gods I love you.” Grian says and kisses him again, softer. “Love you more.” Scar whispers and hugs him, feeling the avians wings go around him. Scar starts sucking a mark on the bird’s neck, which earns him a whimper before he tilts his head to give him more space to work with. Scar pulls away with a smug grin and Grian hits him a bit before getting out of the hug. Embarrassment suddenly hits him and he hides behind the taller man, who only laughs. “Done making out now?” Jimmy asks smugly. “Dunno, he is quite fun to make out with.” Scar says just to hear Grian chirp annoyed.

“Wait, you two are together!?” Martyn asks and Scar nods. “Since when?” A voice he really didn’t want to talk to asks. “Ah, since the third recording of double life.” He looks at the owner of the voice, Joel, and tries to keep from going crazy. Grian comes back to his side and holds his hand. “We didn’t really know how or when to announce it, but surprise?” “You two have been dating for six months.” BigB says and Grian nods. “It’s not like we wanted to keep it secret, we told the people here quite instantly when we got back, it was worse telling anyone outside of this server.” The two keep a staring contest and Grian smirks when the other looks away. “Ooh low blow baby.” Scar says and kisses him. “Whaat?” “That wasn’t fair play.” He whispers and Grian blushes. “I have some pride my dear, I don’t lose staring contests.”

He kisses Scar and goes to his neck, hiding them both from the rest, just so he can fill the taller’s neck with hickeys. “I am going to start making noises they don’t need to hear if you don’t stop.” He whispers and Grian smiles innocently and continues with the assault. Scar groans and bites the red sweater that the avian has on and somehow manages to keep any noises from coming out. Grian pulls away when he is happy with his art that is Scar’s neck. “Payback.” Grian smiles and Scar laughs. “I’ll mark you up later, so don’t look so smug.”

He kisses the male before pulling fully away. Grian puts down his wings and grins, before turning around to look at the people. “Alright, just be warned that they are going to do that at random.” Pearl says and Scar blushes. “Eh, we’re not that bad Pearl..” Scar mutters out and all of the hermits & Jimmy laugh loudly. Grian rolls eyes and jumps on the taller’s shoulders, who only hums. “Comfortable?” “Very.” The avian grins and kisses the elf. “Let’s get on with the tour!” Xisuma announces and everyone takes flight and introduce their builds.

𝗫𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱? 𝗜𝘁𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗯𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲.

Xisuma nods a little and when it’s time to introduce Scarland, Scar sighs. “This is my my megabase, Scarland.” He starts and looks at Grian who is already staring at him. “When it’s finished people can live here for a bit for payment or IOU’s.” He nods and everyone looks at it in awe, and he tries so hard to ignore the way BigB and Joel whispers something to each other. “I’ve said it once before, but Scar you genius!” He hears Jimmy say and smiles. “Thank you, it’s taking ages to finish, but it’ll be worth it hopefully.” He hugs Grian’s side and the bird smiles at him proudly.

”When do you think it’s done?” A Scottish accent asks and Scar shrugs. “It depends a lot on my own motivation to build, but I think it’ll be done by next month.” Scott nods interested and hums. Scar smiles a bit and lifts a brow at X. “Right then, Grian, wanna show your base?” “Sure!” He flies up and everyone follows him to his (Scar’s) base.

“Well, here it is, I haven’t really been here in a bit so it’s good to he back here.” The avian walks around. “Don’t touch anything, or I’ll have your hands.” He vaguely threatens and everyone nods, worried for themselves 

“Oh it definitely is Scar’s base, no one else is a elf and this screams elf magic.” He hears Joel whisper to BigB and he groans lowly against G’s shoulder, who looks at him worried. “What’s wrong?” Scar just shakes his head and Grian scoffs, not believing the other. “They know..” Scar whispers and Grian looks over to Joel and snarls. “If they do anything to you or your bases I will kick them.” “It’s fine Gri, I can deal with it..” “But you shouldn’t have too!?” His hands flail around before grabbing a hold on the taller’s ass, making him blush. “G, baby I’m used to it.” Grian looks more pissed at that and groans.

”I- you shouldn’t be used to it.” He mutters annoyed and Scar kisses him on the forehead. “I know, but what matters to me is what you and the other hermits think of me, people I'm not around a lot opinions don’t really matter, unless I’m in a bad place of mind..” Grian stares at him before looking over at X and the admin nods, dismissing the two. Grian drags the elf after him, Scar laughs a bit at the male speeding into the tree.

Chapter Text

Scar straightens his clothes and looks at the avian who’s still is in a bliss from everything they’ve been doing for the past three hours. “You alright G?” He hands the male a glass of water, looking at how he drinks it quickly. “You’re incredible you know, damn.” He says, voice cracking up. Scar laughs and helps him out of bed before he can get sticky, err.. stickier. “I’ll make you a bath baby.” He walks over to the bathroom and starts the bath, making sure it’s the right temperature before getting the avian and helping him into it.

Grian whines a bit when Scar washes his wings since they’re so sensitive. “Shh, you’re doing amazingly.” Scar whispers and Grian shudders. They finish up and get G in some new clothes from Scar’s closet.
“You do look better in my clothes, makes people know who you belong to.” Scar hums and kisses the shorter who eagerly kisses back.

“Didn’t know you were the possessive type, that’s hot.” Grian teases and Scar growls a bit and kisses his neck. “For you? Always.” He licks the male’s bite mark, grins proudly since damn, he made it.

“Hmm, well that’s something to be wary of then mh?” Gri asks and Scar hums. “You? No, others? Yes.” He holds the male close. Grian 𝙢𝙤𝙖𝙣𝙨 at that and Scar laughs. “You like that hmm? Knowing that I’ll protect you? My pretty bird.” Grian nods quickly and kisses Scar roughly.

❥❥❥ꨄ❥❥❥

“So, why did you decide on this ugly build?” A voice asks and Scar snarls when he turns to the male.
“And why do 𝙮𝙤𝙪 want to know, B?” He asks and leans against some blocks that he just about placed. “I’m curious, rumors say that you’re a genius in building, but I don’t see it.” The male smiles innocently and Scar rolls his eyes. “Well, that’s quite the statement from someone who only knows how to build a block house that have no real appeal or value to it.” Scar bites back and the other looks shocked at how he defends himself and his build, which makes him proud.

“My builds have value, yours, not much.” Bb snarls and Scar lifts a brow. “I know my buildings have value BigB, and your opinion doesn’t matter.” He walks closer to the shorter male, noticing how he takes a few steps back before standing straighter.
“Wanna know why your opinion doesn’t matter?” Scar asks, but it doesn’t feel like a question but BB still nods. Scar grins and leans in closer to his ear. “Because you have no power here.” He whispers before backing up. BB stares at him wide eyed.
“I-What do you mean I have no power here!?” He asks offended and Scar 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐬, which makes the shorter angry.

“We’re not in the life series BigB, this is 𝗺𝘆 home and you 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆, 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒎𝒆?” Scar huffs out and sees how BB looks absolutely frightened at the tone of his voice. Scar shakes his head. “It’s enough with you coming here, I’m alright with that sure! But don’t come here to my base and start to try hurting me.” Scar scowls. “That will end only with your death and a head for my collection.”
He absolutely loves the horror on the others face.
“I believe that I will get your head one way or another either way, don’t you think?” He smiles and BigB backs away.

“You w-will not get my head!” BB yelps when a arrow pierces through his hand. “Will I not?” Scar grins and points the bow at him again, then shoots him.

He grins at the loud pings on his com, not caring about checking it. He walks over to the stuff laying on the ground and takes it all, grinning when he looks at the head of the male in his hand. “Well, take that as a warning hm?” He looks over the place and hums before continuing to build.

He hears some wings and doesn’t have the time to brace himself before he is falling down back to the ground. He hisses at the impact and turns his head and gets a glimpse of Joel’s face before his head is being pushed down into the ground, the male on top of him trying to suffocate him. Scar scoffs and pushes himself up with what he can, the other yelps and falls off of him. Scar snarls at him and takes his bow that had fallen.

“You don’t want to mess with me Joel.” Joel laughs at the threat and stands up. “What will you do Scar, hm? Go and cry to your ‘boyfriend’?” Scar looks at him confused for a moment before snarling. “For your information, I’m the one that is trans, I don’t care what you call me but don’t you dare think you can assume stuff about Grian!” He puts a arrow in his bow and looks at J annoyed. “Oh? You don’t know Grian is straight huh? He must think you’re a woman just like the rest of us.” Joel grins and Scar almost lowers his bow in disbelief.

“Ah, he hasn’t told you anything hm? How he and BigB were a thing in double life? That must suck.” Scar laughs at the words spewing out from the other and shakes his head. “So what you’re saying.” Scar walks closer. “Is that Grian isn’t straight? What a way to try getting me to be insecure in my own relationship.” Joel meets his eyes. Scar smirks and whispers in the others ear. “It’s my name he screams every night, it’s me he begs for, I’m the only one able to make him blind with pleasure, BigB isn’t and will never be as good as me.” He winks and goes back so he isn’t in the others personal space.

See, the thing is that Scar is absolutely hanging on a thin thread and has to keep saying stuff like that just to not start going into a mental breakdown, he doesn’t want to give Joel the pleasure of seeing him break.

“You can think you’re the only name he screams, but trust me, you’re not, I’ve heard.” Scar chuckles annoyed. “Your words are chosen carefully, it’s like you’ve been planning this for awhile or what, Joel?” He sees J swallow nervously, like someone who’s just gotten caught. “I haven’t planned anything, I’m just telling the truth.” “Yeah sure you are, like telling me that I’m a woman is the truth? Guess what Joel.” Scar walks even closer, a intimidating tactic he knows is effective with the male in front of him, since he does have to slightly tilt his head up. “I know what I am, and you saying I’m a woman might affect me on bad days or what not, but you picked the wrong time and place to do it, I’ve already killed BigB, I can kill you too.” He grins when the other male’s facade falters.

“You won’t.” Joel bites and that gets a quite crazy laugh out from the elf, and he looks at him horrified.
“You don’t know who you’re messing with Joel, you’re in Hermitcraft and theres no permadeaths here, I could just trap you in an endless death loop if I wanted to.” He whispers into his ear and Joel snarls and takes his sword out, a lousy stone sword that won’t do a single damage. Scar lifts a brow when it’s pointed at his chest. “Just because you got them chopped off doesn’t make you a man.” Joel growls and Scar hums. “And a dick does? Because I’m looking at you and I’m seeing a man that looks more like a woman than I do, and you supposedly have a dick.” Joel tries to push the sword into Scar, which only makes the elf chuckle and draw his arrow and shooting him until.

More messages go through the com but he doesn’t bother read or answer them, instead going to collect the stuff Joel dropped and throwing them in lava, only keeping the head. “Have fun getting your footing again.” He whispers and flies over to his starter place, instantly stopping up when he walks in.

“Scar..” Grian whispers and takes his hands up to his face, wiping his tears that he hadn’t noticed yet.
“I’m fine, I-i.” He tries and hugs the male, who happily returns it. “Hey, shhh, you’re okay, they can’t hurt you.” G whispers soothingly and Scar whimpers a bit before pulling away. “I-I’m getting your sweater wet..” he whispers and Grian scoffs. “I could care less about my sweater Scar, let it out.” Scar shakes his head and wipes his eyes to stop crying.

“What.. what happened?” Scar looks away, which only makes Grian put his hand on his face and tilt it back so they lock eyes. “You’ll hate me..” He whispers and Grian looks at him with big eyes. “Nothing you'll do can make me hate you, you know that, I love you.” Scar shakes his head a bit and walks into the sitting area. “BigB came to my base, Joel too..”
“What? Why!?” Scar shrugs. “Joel wanted to make me insecure in our relationship and make me believe that you and BigB had a thing in double life..” Grian’s eyes go wider than ever and before he can say anything Scar beats him to it. “I wasn’t the best soulmate and I know that, but BigB ain’t any better baby.” He chuckles a bit, even though it hurts.

“He isn’t.. Scar I’m so sorry.. I-“ “No, I understand why you went to him instead, we both can be quite awful at talking about our feelings.” Grian leans his head against the elf’s shoulder. “You know, we were only secret soulmates for a day.. I understood that I love you too much to ignore that.” Scar hums a bit at that and nods. “Even..” he starts but doesn’t know how to finish it. “Yes, even if you’re trans, I really don’t care Scar, you’re my boyfriend for as long as you want me.” That makes the tears come back and Grian sighs softly and pulls him into a hug again.

“What.. did BigB do?” He asks carefully. “Eh, hate on my building skills.” Grian laughs a but. “Really? That does make sense on why you killed him.” Scar nods.
“Baby, I don’t kill unless I have a reason, geez.” He smirks and Grian huffs. “Says the man that has killed me.” “Well, you asked me.” Scar whispers and G whines and his feathers fluff up.

“Anyways, want anything to drink?” Scar asks and stands up, chuckling at the desperate whine leaving the avian before he mutters out that he wants water.
He gets the glasses of water and goes back, handing one to the flustered bird. “Thanks bab.” He whispers and Scar laughs. “What’s wrong hm?” “Nothing.” He whines and Scar lifts a brow. “Did you get needy now hm?” He grins at the glare from the other. “Never.”
“Oh what a convincing argument birdie.” “I agree.”

𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒌! 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒌!

Scar lifts a brow and walks over to the door and opens it, seeing Xisuma. “Oh hi X, what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?” Xisuma smiles a bit strained. “Is anyone else here?” “Uh, Grian is, why?” X nods and invites himself in. Scar closes the door and walks after the admin. “X?” Grian stands up when he sees the male. “Something wrong?” “Something is in-fact wrong.” Scar looks at him concerned. “BigB and Joel came to m-“ “I promise Scar has his reasons.” Xisuma glares at the avian, and he hides a bit.
“Let me speak Grian otherwise you have to go out.”
“All due respect Xisuma, Grian is allowed here.”

“Yes he can, but he needs to let me speak.” Grian groans but nods. “Anyway, they came and said you killed them without any reason.” “Xisuma, they were being rude to me! They are transphobic and try every time they see me to make me feel horrible!” X looks at him, it’s difficult to read his expression and it makes Scar uneasy.
“Scar..” “No don’t even try to make him the bad guy!” Grian shoots in and Scar takes his hand. “X, I have never lied to you and I promise I’m not lying.”
“That’s why you reacted that way when I said they were coming, they’ve been transphobic towards you before..”

Scar nods and let go of some of the pressure on G’s hand so he doesn’t hurt him. “It was so bad in double life that I struggled for the first few months after it all, and I’m still not sure if I’m the same.” Scar exhales and X puts a hand on his shoulder, ignoring how Grian snarls. “Scar, I’m so sorry for how they’re treating you, I’ll have a talk with the two one on one.” Scar laughs at that and shakes his head.
“That won’t help, but thank you Xi, I should’ve told you from the start.” “No, you should tell me stuff when you’re ready, I don’t want to force you.”

"Yeah.. but I still feel like I should've told you." Xisuma sighs and rubs his shoulder. "Tell me when you're ready for it, I'm sorry Scar, I really am." Scar gives a small smile and nods. ''You're forgiven Xi, but thanks, I know you didn't mean it.'' ''Please tell me if it get's too much and I will kick them, alright?'' ''I will, don't worry.'' Scar nods and Xisuma walks out again.
''I absolutely won't.'' He growls and Grian groans loudly. ''Scar!" He lifts a brow at the avian. "I can deal with them, I don't want to stop the other hermits having fun." Grian whines and holds his hands. "Look after yourself Scar, the others can deal with it!"

Scar shakes his head violently before kissing the avian's forehead. ''I'm gonna be fine Gri, you don't have to worry." "Scar, I'm your boyfriend, of course I worry!?" His wings puff up and Scar frowns a bit. “I’m not saying you can’t look after yourself, but Scar, let me do it.” Scar shakes his head a bit and Grian’s wings flare up at that, and Scar almost flinches. “Gri, I will be fine.” “I know you will, I won’t stop protecting you either way.” Grian walks closer and hugs him, Scar sighs and hugs him back.

“Scar..” Grian whispers and the elf pulls away and lifts a brow. “I love you.” Scar chuckles softly and kisses him. “I know you do, love you too.” Grian blushes a bit before dragging the other with him to the bedroom.

❥❥❥ꨄ❥❥❥

“God you look awful.” A voice snaps him out of his building mindset and he looks over at the male.
“Oh someone is jealous.” He smirks and Joel rolls his eyes. “Jealous of a woman? Never.” Scar jumps down and looks at the other. “What a shame that I have your wife’s number hm? I could easily get her to divorce you.” Scar shrugs. “She wouldn’t.” Joel snarls and Scar grins.

“I have my ways with other people J, don’t you know? I know she’d believe me.” Scar grins and Joel snarls. “She is my wife, she wouldn’t believe you.”
“I have proof of how you act towards me.” Scar bites back and Joel’s face falls. “Anyways, I would like getting back to work now, so leave.” Joel rolls his eyes and reluctantly flies away. Scar shakes his head and starts building again.

When he is done building he puts on his shirt again, since he was going to get cold. He flies back down on the ground and admires his work, actually feeling satisfied with how it’s coming along. Scar stretches out his sore muscles and lets out a shaky breath. He looks around when hearing rockets and sees Impulse coming towards him. “Well what a surprise to see you here Imp, what’s up?” He asks when the dwarf lands. “Hey, uh well.. Grian might have gone crazy.” Scar lifts a brow. “Crazy how?” “Eh, you know Joel and BigB?” Scar’s eyes go big. “Where is he?” He puts on his elytra. “The shopping district.” “Thanks!” He flies away.

❥❥❥ꨄ❥❥❥

“You cannot be serious about loving Scar, she’s just a ugly girl who doesn’t know her place.” Grian snarls at BB and puts his arms on cross. “𝙃𝙚 is one of the best people in existence, you two being one of the most horrible human beings ever can’t tell me I’m choosing a bad person, cuz he is the best.” Joel snarls at his words and Grian growls threatening. “She’s a bad person Grian, you’re just blindsided.” “I believe Grian can tell who’s bad or not.” They all flinch at the voice, before Gri smiles softly. “Hey darling.” He hums and hugs the tall elf, who happily hugs back. “Why are you two bothering my boyfriend of all things? I would think you two knew better than that.” Scar snarls and Joel rolls his eyes.

“You have no need to know.” He grits his teeth together while speaking and Scar chuckles and shakes his head. “I have every right to know Joel.” Scar stalks closer to the two and smirks. “Why would we tell you either way?” BigB asks and Scar hums. “Because he’d go easier on ya if you did instead of me having to.” Scar nods at that and grins at the avian. “You don’t even know why.” Joel scoffs. “Exactly, that’s why it’d be easier if you just told him, it would be embarrassing for you two to die twice to him, wouldn’t it?” Gri walks next to him and takes his hand. “You two are easy to get rid of either way, seeing as you have no armor.” Scar hums and takes his bow out. “Scar, don’t you dare.” BigB hisses and Scar grins and shoots the two.

Grian groans loudly and Scar laughs a bit. “They’re just confused baby, no need to get annoyed.” He kisses the avian, who jumps up and puts legs around his waist.

Scar lets out a relieved sigh and attacks the avians neck, who shivers at that and pushes more into the elf.
