Hey, everyone! I just decided to do this short ship/one-shot while I'm working on other big things so I wouldn't be gone for a while. I'm still alive, don't worry! XD This ship/one-shot happens after Grayson and Mia did their little kiss in the first ship. Other than that, hope ya guys enjoy!

Grayson collapsed on top of his bed, sighing deeply and groaning in frustration. As much as he liked Drake, his friend sometimes could be really frustrating. Drake and him had gotten into a disagreement to going back to the Red Keep. Apparently, Drake had just heard that the Empire is hiding something in the keep that could possibly destroy Herobrine. He said he didn't know what it was, but it could help them tremendously.

"Grayson, what they're hiding could help us," Drake had said.

The ex-mercenary was organizing his backpack. He closed it and swung it over his shoulder. "I think it's too much of a risk. The cultist are there, remember? Whoever gets in turns into a slave."

Drake turned his head in Grayson's direction. His purple and white eyes had a look of confusion. "But Grayson, it could help us defeat Herobrine. It could save Armen! Don't you think it could serve to a good use?"

"Yes, but it's too much of a risk to take, Drake. They have that place heavily guarded. Whoever goes in is in a bad position."

Drake scoffled a little. "Can't we just try? We can be stronger than them. We are stronger than them."

Grayson sighed. "Drake, please. I know you want to get it, but it just won't work. I'm sorry."

Drake growled a little in his throat. He knew it wasn't like him to get mad like this, but he liked his idea. 

He stepped forward to the side. "Grayson, I need that thing or item the Empire has. I'm gonna go get it, whether you want me to or not." 

The half enderman walked away calmly, as Grayson did the same, only less serene, the two friends going the opposite ways. Sinse the group was at Drake's place, Grayson stomped off to his part of the ruins where he stayed.

So that leads to now, Grayson laying on his bed, grumbling about his friend's decision. He couldn't believe Drake was going to go off and do this. The ex-mercenary knew that something bad was going to happen to him. Like it usually does.

Grayson sat up on the sheets and buried his face into his gloved hands, groaned, and rubbed his eyes.

He heard the doors to the stone room slowly open with a creak. In the corner of his eye, he looked at the person who had came in. It was Mia. 

She walked over, her face full of concern. "Grayson," she calmly said as she got closer. "What happened out there?" The elf sat down next to him, putting her hand on his left arm.

"Drake wants to go back to the Red Keep and try to locate something the Empire has that would help him."

"And I'm guessing you disagreed?"

Grayson sighed for the hundredth time. "I said it was too much of a risk."

Mia didn't say anything for a few seconds than spoke. "Grayson..." She went to the back of him and set her hands on his shoulder blades, starting to massage them. The blond relaxed, closed his eyes, tilted his head to the far right, smiled, and moaned in pleasure in his throat, relishing in the good feeling. He always loved when Mia comforted him this way.

The elf spoke again. "Did you ever consider how Drake feels about it? Did it ever occur to you that maybe he really wants to take that risk just so he can save his other friend?"

Grayson looked at her, then gazed at the floor. "No," he admitted.

Mia chuckled. "Typical Grayson." The human felt a cheek rest on the back of his neck and two arms wrap around his chest. "Grayson, saving Armen is his goal. Please don't try to stop him from doing certain things. Yes, I know it's really dangerous, but Drake knows what he's doing."

Grayson nodded. "You're right, Mia. Saving Armen is his top priority. I promised Drake that I would help him, so that's what I'm gonna do."

Mia leaned over his shoulder and gave him a bright smile. "That's the Grayson I love." 

The human grinned back, got nose-to-nose with her, and pressed his lips against hers. The elf closed her eyes and gladly accepted the kiss. She also rested her hand on his warm cheek.

That's when Grayson realized that he couldn't give up now. He shouldn't take down much offers. 

Drake, Mia, and him were going to save Armen.

Well, here you go! Hope you enjoyed, everyone! The next chapter I post will probably be a Drake x Mia ship, than after that the one-shot where Mia gets shot. That is all for today, I guess. Stay tuned! Bye!!! :D
