Chapter Eight
After lunch Scar and I decide to play some Stardew Valley on my switch.
We haven't ever gotten very far on it so we just mess around and stuff. It's fun and we play for around and hour.
Around midnight we decide to turn it off, both of us having headaches from staring at the tv for hours.
"I should probably head home." Scar mumbles, my head resting on his chest.
"Stay!" I whine sleepily.
"Ok." He smiles against the top of my head. I want to stay here, hugging Scar and listening to his heartbeat.
"I love you." I mumble before drifting off to sleep.
Scar pov:
I smile as I watch Grian sleepily close his eyes, trying to keep awake but failing.
"I love you." Grian mumbles. I feel my chest begin to tighten.
'Do friends say that too?'
"I love you too." I whisper and lie Grian down onto his bed. I sit at the end of it, looking at his communicator.
It takes me a minute to figure out how to work it but once I have I look at everything everyone's said since I've been gone.
I was only mentioned for a span of a month after my disappearance. And only by Grian and them.
'Does no one else care about me?'
Eventually I fall asleep as well next to Grian.
. . . . .
Grian pov:
When I wake Scar is cuddled next to me, his arm wrapped around my waist and his head in the crook of my neck.
My face begins to heat up as I try to escape. But Scar tightens his grip.
Sighing I give up and relax. Scar's breath tickles my neck and his hands and clasped together quite close to... there.
My chest feels like it is about to either explode or implode.
(Sorry if this isn't right!)
I notice that Scar begins to shift more.
'He's waking up! What should I do?'
While I'm panicking Scar fully wakes. Now I must pretend to be asleep.
"Aww, look at Grian!" Scar coos as though he is talking to his cat.
My face begins to heat up but I try to force it down.
"What's Grian dreaming about?" Scar asks before trying to pry my eye open.
"Hey!" I laugh, sitting up.
"How was your sleep?" Scar asks casually.
'How can he even act normal? He was just cuddling me!'
"It was good, you?" I try to ask normally. Instead it just came out all weird. "Good, you? It was."
"Wow, good job." Scar mocks. "Why don't you go back to sleep. You're clearly tired."
"I'm not tired." I complain, crossing my arms. Scar laughs as I yawn.
"I'm not going back to sleep." I argue. I stand up and run through the halls, Scar chasing me.
"You're going back to bed, whether you like it or not!" Scar yells and I jump out the window at the end of the hall.
"No fair! I don't have my elytra on me!" Scar yells down at me. I just laugh and fly farther away.
"Who's going to bed now!" I yell and cringe at my morning voice.
"Fine, I won't force you to go back to sleep." Scar says and I fly back in, purposely landing on top of him.
"Grian!" He shouts, still laughing.
"What's wrong?" I ask, giggling hysterically.
Scar laughs and sits up, knocking my nearly off of him. I grab his shirt before I fall onto the ground.
"Sorry." I mumble, standing up.
"It's okay." Scar says with a smile that would make god tremble before him.
"Lets go." I say and Scar follows me.
"You should grab your elytra, Scar." I say and laugh as he quickly turns around.
I laugh as I wait for Scar.
He walks back over to me with his elytra in hand.
"Good, do you feel up for going to the shopping district?" I ask Scar, already feeling his nervousness.
"Of course!" Scar says happily, skipping past me. However I can tell he's stiff with fear and worry.
"Ok, lets go then." I say and leap out the window near me, Scar immediately jumping out after me.
Once we arrived at the shopping district I can tell Scar's scared of something. Or someone.
"Hey Grian! And Scar! You're here too!" Etho yells from behind us.
"Oh, yep! I'm here alright." Scar says, his voice coming out forced.
"That's lovely, how've you been?" Etho asks, putting his diamonds into his backpack.
"I've been... good." He says.
"Uh, we were just going to stock up my shop, actually!" I say, grabbing Scar's arm, which totally wasn't anywhere near my head, and tugged him away shouting to Etho, "Have a nice day!"
"Thanks." Scar says, smiling.
"Anytime, what do you have against Etho, if you don't mind me asking?" I ask.
Scar looks around before whispering in my ear.
