Mumbo was lying on the couch with his boyfriends, they were watching Coco, but Mumbo was fairly bored because he had seen Coco about 50 times. Mumbo decided to think about the time he and his boyfriends had met.

It was December 3rd, 2018. It was a fairly cold day and Mumbo and Grian were hanging out, Mumbo only had his suit, which didn't keep the warmth in, surprisingly, and Grian was wearing his signature red sweater.

Grian must've noticed Mumbo shivering as he started taking off his sweater. Once Grian fully had it off, he gave it to Mumbo, apparently, Grian had been wearing two sweaters, but the under sweater was green.

Mumbo gratefully took the sweater, it was a tad bit too small for him, but it still gave him more warmth, Mumbo blushed at the kind gesture.

"When do you want this back?" Mumbo asked Grian, Grian just looked up at him and smiled.

"You can keep it, I have plenty more, and besides, you look good in it!" Grian giggled. Mumbo blushed again at the compliment, Mumbo hoped Grian knew he liked him.

Then Iskall walked by, Grian started blushing, he looked so in love with Iskall, he looked like he only wanted to be with him. Mumbo was hurt.

Mumbo guessed that Grian liked how kind and funny Iskall was, and how his robotic eye shined in the blue sky.

Grian looked so mesmerized by Iskall, and Mumbo knew he was. Mumbo slowly started beating himself up, he wasn't cute enough, he wasn't funny enough, he wasn't smart enough.

Why would Grian ever kiss him? Mumbo knew he wasn't even close to Iskall's beauty.

Then, one day, about a week later, Mumbo saw Grian give Iskall his sweater. Mumbo had felt important when Grian had given him his sweater, but, now that Grian gave Iskall one, he felt less important, like he could be thrown away at any moment.

It is just polyester, nothing to fret about, you still have a chance... Mumbo thought to himself. He wished he could be Iskall, so he could have Grian's love.

Mumbo was flying in around about a month after he saw Grian giving Iskall a sweater when he stumbled across Iskall and Grian holding hands. Grian then put his arm around Iskall's shoulder and leaned into him.

Mumbo shivered.

Mumbo could never hate Iskall, he was nice and funny, though, he still wished Iskall was dead sometimes though.

It was now February, the love month. They were in the middle of the Civil war. Mumbo had started setting up a flag defense when he saw Grian and Iskall walk by, they were holding hands and whispering to each other.

Mumbo turned back around and let a few tears fall from his eyes. He couldn't help it, he loved Grian and it hurt to watch him date another guy.

Grian was a beautiful, kind, smart, funny, and short man, how could someone not like him?

But, as he mentioned in December, Grian was completely mesmerized by Iskall, Mumbo understood it though.

A couple more tears fell onto the redstone as he kept thinking about it.

Mumbo still knew Grian wouldn't ever kiss him, Grian didn't like him like that, and he knew it. He also kept remembering when Grian gave Iskall a sweater, he just couldn't get over it.

Mumbo just wished he could have Grian's love like Iskall did.

??? POV

It was March now, they had started Sahara, which meant more time with Mumbo. Sure Iskall loved Grian, but he also liked Mumbo.

Why would Mumbo like him? He saw the way Mumbo liked Grian, and he knew that Mumbo never would like him, he wasn't like Grian.

For one meeting Mumbo let Grian borrow a suit, Iskall wasn't getting jealous, not at all. He still wished he could be Grian...

Aight, I did it, I pushed past the procrastination, and I did it, to be fair, I worked on this during a Zoom call, so I wasn't listening to that but, no one needs to know. Anyways, I'm working on another one-shot again, it might be done by today, so that's good. I'm planning to have a schedule, and I would probably post once to twice a day, probably. Also, thank you all so much for over 500 reads! I hope you enjoyed this one-shot, and I hope you have a good day, night, or evening, goodbye!
