8- Anxious Interactions 🌙
"Grian!" Mumbo yelled.
Grian looked back and saw his friend running over to him, "I haven't seen you in forever how's it going mate?" He smiled.
"I.. Uh-" Grian awkwardly stood there, looking back and forth. Grian was worried Mumbo woild notice his wings. He folded them behind his back as much as he could.
"Come on! It looks like you haven't seen the sun in ages!" Mumbo motioned him to come out of the alleyway. Oh god please no. Grian thought, but he still walked out with his friend. Being in the sun made him uncomfortable.
Mumbo had been talking to him for a bit but Grian was too tired to listen. The no sleep really kicked in right now.
"Are you ok?" Mumbo asked. Grian shot up, "What- Oh! Yeah! Yes I'm fine!" He anxiously responded. Mumbo looked at him with a weird look. "Ok Grian, you know I can't lie to you so.."
Oh no what did I do? What happened? Somethings my fault, Grian thought.
"Grian we're worried about you." Mumbo averted eye contact. "We?" Grian asked brainlessly.
"Boatem! We had a meeting yesterday but we didn't want to tell you..We didnt want you to come."
"Betrayal" The voices whispered,
So they were there.
"Without me? What were you discussing?! I could have made it!" Grian yelled.
"We were discussing you! Impulse gathered everyone together to tell us about the interaction you had at the G-train."Mumbo and Grian looked at each other, no words just eye contact. Grian couldn't help but feel betrayed.
"Oh." He said; though it sounded quite angry.
"Sorry.." Mumbo awkwardly responded.
Grian rubbed his eyes and sighed. "Ok, I'm not angry I'm just tired."
"Oh ok, I really thought you would punch me or something," Mumbo laughed.
"Why would I do that?" Grian smiled.
"I don't know, it's just worrying, you know?"
"I've been there."
It was nice finally talking to Mumbo, lots of stress but he'd never had a longer conversation with anyone since the run in with Impulse, which felt like ages ago.
"So if your tired, why don't you sleep?" Mumbo asked. Ok, no. Back to stressing. How could Grian lie here? He couldnt tell Mumbo. He could say he lost his bed but then Mumbo would probably tell him to make another.. Oh! He got it!
"Everyone's been skipping through the night, and since it only takes one person to do so I haven't done it in a while," Grian lied.
"No one has been skipping the night lately.." Crap. Now he had to improvise.
"Uh- Well, I've been so busy with the alleyway, whenever it's night I've been working on it and I forget to sleep. My bad."
"Have you tried taking naps?"
"I've actually lost my bed- yeah.." Grian wanted to leave now. Mumbo knows he's lying. Or maybe he doesn't. He can never tell. All the talk about sleep made him tired. Really tired.
"I should leave now," Grian said.
"Why?" Mumbo slightly tilted his head. Grian couldnt think straight. He just wanted to go. Out of the sun. "I just want to! The sun is making me uncomfortable and I want to stay inside until it's night!" Grian unknowingly admitted. He realized what he said and covered his mouth with his hands.
"Grian, what's going on?! Why is the sun making you uncomfortable? What arnt you telling me?!" Mumbo and grabbed Grians shoulders.
Grian looked at him.
He passed out.
