<The first part was made over half a year ago, one of the first thing I ever made on this book. Now I've finally finished the second part. This takes place in the normal AU, were Grian has some Watcher magic but nothing big. Now please enjoy!>

It was early morning when Scar woke up, he was usually up by now but due to staying up late trying to find Grian he hadn't gotten much sleep. Stretching, much like a cat would, he rolled over in bed. He expected the other side to be empty like normal, but unlike normally it wasn't. It seemed like Cub was still asleep, even after Scar had rolled onto him. Looks like he wasn't the only one who stayed up late.

Deciding to let his boyfriend sleep for awhile longer Scar moved to get out of bed, in his tired state he almost forgot to take his potions, but he remembered at the last second.

Moving to the kitchen he went to fill up Jellie's food bowl, only to find it was all still there. That set of many alarms in his head, the food bowl was filled last night so that the gray cat could eat at night when he and Cub were asleep, but the bowl was always empty when they woke up. So why wasn't it now? And speaking of Jellie, where was she? She usually came to greet him by now, he shook the food bowl but still nothing. Scar started growing increasingly worried, where was she? Doing a quick scan of the rocket with his Vex magic, he found that the tabby had left sometime last night. So now he knows that she isn't here, now the question is where is she now?

Pacing back and forth he finally remembered, he had tracking magic on Jellie! He could just teleport to her!

Not even thinking about everything that could go wrong by doing this, Scar teleported to Jellie's location. Which just happened to be EX and Grian's bed. So now he was at the foot of the bed face to face with a pissed off EX.

What a lovely Wednesday.

"What are you doing here?" Hissed EX, being careful to keep his voice low as to not wake Grian.

"I came to get Jellie, but my question is what are you doing here? And with Grian no less!" Scar, it seems, didn't care to be quiet. Fortunately Grian only shifted slightly, and didn't wake up.

Seeing that Scar wasn't going to be quiet, Xeres dragged the scarred hermit out to the kitchen, "Be quiet! Grian hasn't been sleeping well, so he doesn't need you to come barging in and wake him up unnecessarily!"

"'Unnecessarily'? You have my cat! Plus, I want to know why the hell you and Grian were in the same bed! Did you force him to move?" Accused Scar, a growl rising in his throat, "Are you the real reason he moved?"

"Scar, that's enough!" Called Grian from the doorway, stepping into the room properly Scar could see two cats on his shoulders, one of which was Jellie, "EX hasn't forced me to do anything, so stop accusing him of such nonsense! He would never do something like that."

Grian walked up to Scar and handed him Jellie, who took his cat gently in his arms with a quite 'thanks'.

"So, what is this?" asked Scar, gesturing to EX and Grian with one free hand.

"What do you think it is?" sassed Xeres, wrapping an arm around Grian's shoulders protectively, a scowl on his face.

Looking from EX to Grian, and then back again his eyes widened. Oh, OH, "Oh my god your dating."

"We are, congratulations for figuring it out," deadpanned the red Void, "Want a goldstar?"

Grian slapped his boyfriend on the arm lightly, they didn't want to make an enemy of Scar, and EX wasn't helping.

"What EX is trying to say," hissed Grian through clenched teeth, a glare directed at his partner, "Is that yes, we are dating."

Scar stood spluttering for a few seconds before wheezing out, "How? When?"

"How? Well, I liked Grian, and Grian liked me. So one day I asked him if he wanted to go on a date, and he said yes! So that's how." said EX proudly, in a 'How kids are made' voice (you know the one), "As for when? I'd say around four months ago."

"Four months?" gaped Scar, "Does anyone know?"

"Except you? No, no one knows." said Grian, cuddling closer to EX.

"And that's how it will remain until we decide to change that," said EX, voice hard and leaving no room for arguments. It also promised pain if Scar where to ever let it slip. Scar took a step away from the couple, Jellie clutched gently in his arms.

"And if I tell someone?" asked Scar quietly. He wasn't planning on doing it, he just wanted to know what to prepare for if he accidentally did.

EX let out a quiet, humorless laugh before looking up at him sharply, "Xisuma isn't the only one with access to commands." growled the scarred Void lowly, eyes almost glowing as he leaned in closer to the Vex, "And we all know how much you die, it would really be a shame if the next crash was to be your last. Wouldn't it?"

Grian rolled his eyes at his boyfriend, "Okay, enough with the mostly fake threats-"

Scar interrupted with a squeaked, "'Mostly?!'"

But Grian just continued on as if he hadn't been interrupted, "-Let's take this a bit more seriously, ok?" Scar and EX both nodded, which made Grian smile slightly, "Good! Now, can we agree that what has been revealed and said in here stays in here, the others don't need to know about any of this."

"Wait, I'm not allowed to say that I found you?" asked Scar, eyes dancing between confusion and worry, "They're worried about you, we've been looking for you!"

The dirty blond sighed, slapping at Xeres' arm as the taller let out a low growl, "No you can't say that you found me, and don't even try to convince me to come back. I'll come back when I feel like it, no sooner and no later," Grian let out a shaky breath as he looked up at Scar once again, "Look, I love you guys and I'm really happy that you all care about me, but you have to realize that I am not ok. The war traumatized me, and most of you were involved. So I'd much rather get myself sorted before I come back."

"I-alright." Conceded Scar, not happy about this, "But can I come to visit from time to time? If not to see you then to let Jellie come visit, she seems to like you." Said cat let out a pleased purr at that.

"I don't think you could stop her even if you tried." Said Grian, scratching at the top of his own cat's head.

Scar's phone let out a peep, so he adjusted Jellie in one arm and pulled it out, "I have to go, Cub's asking where I am."

"Go then, don't keep him waiting." Edged EX, not so subtly wanting him to leave quicker.

"Bye Grian! I'll be sure to text you when I'm coming to visit." Said Scar before quickly heading out, not waiting on a reply from the other builder.

"He didn't even say goodbye to me!" Cried EX in outrage, his long white hair, which wasn't up in its normal bun, flying everywhere as he turned to Grian with a dramatic head turn.

The dirty blond snorted at the Albino, "Maybe not threatening his life would help?"

"Oh, right I did that."

"Come on you silly goose, it's time for breakfast." Said Grian, taking his boyfriend's hand and dragging him to the kitchen, "What is it that you want?"

"You." Answered the Void instantly, a tiny smirk playing at his lips.

"I would allow it. But you threatened Scar, so you'll have to wait till later." Giggled Grian, only the faintest of blushes visible on his cheeks.

EX pouted, but didn't push it, "Then I want scones."

"Scones it is then!" Agreed the winged Hermit, walking to retrieve all the necessary ingredients, "Get Maui and Pearl some food ready while I get started."

EX gave a nod of conformation and took Pearl from Grian's shoulder, he sat the cat down on the floor and got out her and Maui's bowls before pulling out the cat food. At the rustling of the plastic bag Maui came walking into the room. The albino quickly poured the food in before putting the food back in the cupboard.

Once done he sat down at the table, content to just watch Grian bustle about in the kitchen making scones. Normally he'd help, but he had been woken up before nine, quite rudely might he had, so he was still tired. Grian didn't seem to mind him not helping, so he wasn't too worried.

A few minutes later a weight settled in his lap. Looking down he saw the the bronze face of Maui looking up at him. Seeing the cats look EX started petting him absentmindedly, moving on autopilot.

This was a ritual that was fairly new, waking up and making breakfast and just relaxing, but it just felt right and natural. And something told him that it would happen for years to come.

EX didn't care for what the Hermits would say or do when they found out about him and Grian dating, the shorter man was worth it all.

<I really like how this turned out, but I can't focus to much on this since I have some other stuff to finish. Finish tomorrow that is since it's late and I need to go to bed. So have a wonderful time everyone!>
