Ex, Skylar, and Hels have some history. Whoops is not cannon, Hels is allowed freely on the server. He and Wels close but this isn't about those two.

former Hels x Skylar

Current Ex(Xanthus) x Skylar

You're going to want to know/see who Skylar is. I don't feel like explaining her. (Hint: of Sky and Sun in the first one-shot book)

---------

Hels was seething from across a flower field. Yes he would admit he looked ridiculous, he felt ridiculous too. But the sight in front of him made his heart drop. He was shaking from all the emotions. How could he ok, they hadn't even officially broke up and here she was with another. Sure it wasn't all her fault but it didn't hurt any less to see this right in front of him. Even more so with his bestfriend.

He hadn't noticed until somebody tapped his shoulder that he wan on his knees still watching the couple from afar.

Wels looked down at him. "What's going on?"

"It's a long story,"

"I have time,"

Hels sighed. "Alright,"

-------------------

"So you may know Ex, Sky, and I shared a world,"

"Actually I didn't but alright," Wels laughed.

"Well now you know," Hels smirked. "Anyway after some time I asked Skylar out and she said yes,"

"And I'm assuming something happened otherwise we would be be talking about this,"

"Precisely,"

Hels continues. "It was great for a while, nearly a year. But then one day I was in the hub, and this guy came up and was like. "I'm BadtimeswithScar and I think we're going to be good friends". And sure he was right, he introduced me to some other of his friends and next thing I know it's been a year and she moved on."

By then Hels was choking up. "But how could I expect her to dump him and come back to me. I mean he's Xanthus Void the prime admin's little brother. And I'm just me, no offense,"

"And that's so much Hels! Who gets to say their brother is one of the elite few of Hermitcraft," Wels smiles lightening the mood.

"Well you're not wrong, but Ex has that and the fact that the same person is a Prime admin. Hell Skylar's older twin does the exact same thing. And holy shit theirs only two Primes ever at one time what are the chances of that!" By then Hels is completely freaking out pacing around the field. Wels stood there taking it all in. He tried to understand but being the counterpart in the story is always different than being the original.

"You need to stop thinking yourself as so little, besides have you even talked to her since you left?" Wels asks placing a hand on Hels's shoulder.

Hels's bad posture worsened. "Not really as soon she she told me she moved on I left and hadn't seen her since,"

"Maybe you should give her a moment to explain herself."

---------

Skylar was with her sister when she saw him again.

Bella noticed her lack of attention "Where's your mind at?"

Skylar gestured to the dark night who was on the horse highway with his brother talking.

"I didn't know Hels was here,"

"I didn't know you knew him. Besides he was at the last server meeting. Were you not paying attention?" Bella asks tilting her head.

"Yeah the three of us shared a world remember?"

Bella nods. "That's right, and I saw it in your case file when taking you off the danger list,"

That surprised Skylar. "That kind of information is in our case files?"

"Yeah, just about everything is on some sort of file or database," Bella nods.

Sky just stares at her. "Isn't that... risky, as well as creepy,"

"There's plenty of security measures put in place besides only the council plus X and I can see majority of these databases and files. But you're stalling, fess up," Bella demands making SKylar gulp.

"Xanthus wasn't my first boyfriend you see... Hels was."

That of course takes Bella by surprise but part of her wasn't as well. "Um, so that's new, and Xanthus knows? I'm sure he does but just clarifying.

"Yeah, but after 9 months of being together he just left. Without a word, it was just him, he didn't even leave anything. We had even moved in together and then one day he leaves without a trace and I don't see him for a year. A fucking year!" By now Skylar was sobbing in the arms of her sister who just let her let it all out.

"I moved on after 7 months but just barely. Two months after that I went on a date with Ex for the first time and I had to reassure myself it was ok to do. Then three months after that and we are official Hels comes back like nothing happened. So I told him I moved on and he left just like that,"

Bella smiles softly "It is ok to move on. "

Skylar had mostly calmed down and was just hiccupping "I know and I'm happy with Xanthus it just feels unresolved,"

"And that's understandable. Now I think you should talk to him,"

"And say what? Why did you leave?"

Bella just shakes her head laughing. "Yes that's exactly what you will say,"

--------------

So here they were Skylar, Hels, Ex, Wels, as well as Wels, X, and Bella to support their siblings as well to keep the situation under control.

Stress wasn't present since she was sick. They were sitting in Skylar and Xanthus's living room staring awkwardly at each other.

"We should begin," Bella says nudging Skylar. "Just say what you told me,"

Skylar nods her head before doing just that. "Why did you leave?"

Hels is taken back. "I don't know..."

Skylar's head rears back and everyone looks at Hels equally confused even Wels.

Wels looks at his brother clearly mad. "What do you mean?! I thought you told me?!"

"Wels what is he hiding?" Xanthus demands.

"He was with Badtimes,"

X whips out his communicator playing protective brother. "They're on their way," He says after a moment. Not long ago Scar had requested that Badtimes could visit Scar on Hermitcraft.

Bella, Wels, and X seem to have silent conversation that ends with Wels pouting in his seat.

Xanthus broke the silence. "What's going on...?"

"He just feels bad for outing Hels,"

----------

Soon enough Badtimes was there and we could get some explanations.

And I'm cutting it off there. I'm doing a part two but this took forever to write.

That and procrastination got in the way.
