Grian knocked on Scar's door quietly, hearing the telltale sound of sand breaking from behind the door. "Hey, Scar?" he called. "It's late. Shouldn't you be going to bed now?"

A moment passed, then Scar spoke up. "Just a bit more! I just want to get a shulker box more." He sounded really tired and burnt out.

Grian sighed. "C'mon, Scar. I'll read you a bedtime story if you go to bed now," he added teasingly.

No response. Grian started to get worried--was that last comment too much? He gently turned the doorknob, then stepped into Scar's room. "Scar...?"

A small snore echoed across the room. Grian looked over at Scar to see him slumped fast asleep over his chair, his hair messy. Grian chuckled a bit and ruffled his hair playfully, pulling away when Scar began to stir.

"This is what you get for overworking yourself."

Grian smiled, sitting beside him and watching his chest slowly rise and fall. With great surprise from Grian, Scar shuffled closer to him, leaning on his side. He blushed, attempting to move slowly enough to not wake the sleeping hermit.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you won't have to do this again." He assured quietly, looking up at the bright screen and beginning to gather the sand for him, reminding him of the days when he and the Architechs worked on Sahara.

After getting the sand he needed, he smirked mischievously, going to the chat and typing something in. Everyone would sure get a kick out of this.

<GoodTimeWithScar> I love Grian soooo much, hes AMAZING

<cubfan135> Uh, Scar, are you feeling okay?

<GoodTimesWithScar> Never better! I just can't get over how cute Grian is!

Grian snickered softly, not wanting to wake Scar. Ah, if only they knew.

Scar stirred beside him, and Grian smiled softly as he wrapped his arm around him, the other hermit staying fast asleep. He absentmindedly ran his left hand through Scar's hair, only moving it when he needed to move his- or actually Scar's- character somewhere. Grian then blushed bright red, as he saw another chat message pop up.

<iskall85> So when's the wedding, lol

Grian almost ran straight into a desert ravine in shock. Yeah, he and Scar were definitely not at that stage yet. And obviously Iskall was kidding since they didn't even know about him and Scar's relationship. But the joke still made him feel a tingly feeling in his stomach that didn't want to go away.

Were they really that obvious?

Another moment passed, then Grian realized he should say something in response.

<GoodTimeWithScar> we're only having a wedding if you're the flower girl

What was he doing? This wasn't how Scar spoke at all! Nobody in chat brought it up, though, so he was in the clear for now.

<MumboJumbo> iskall being a flower girl AND scar and grian getting married? that's a done deal mate

Just as the message appeared in chat, Scar stirred again, rubbing his head against Grian's side softly. He froze, laying his hand on Scars back to try and keep him asleep, but it was no use.

Scar blinked, eyelids droopy as he looked up at Grian who sat beside him.

"Hello, sleepyhead," he said, trying to lean forwards and block the screen while also keeping a calm tone.

"Uh.. hi Grian. What're you doing here?" He asked, slowly sitting up.

"I just gathered some sand for you, that's all I did." He responded in a rush, slightly flustered. The message from earlier had not faded away yet, and Scar peered around him, growing flustered.

"What did you do?"

Grian blushed, "Er, nothing?" He decided to play innocent.

Scar leaned over and checked the previous messages. "Uh-huh, and why are there messages here that I definitely didn't send?"

Grian knew that Scar knew that he had sent the messages, much like with the doors, "It was the Jungle Bandit!" He laughed, trying to brush it off.

"Mhm.." Scar sent a message.

<GoodTimeWithScar> Sorry about that, my boyfriend hijacked my computer.

"SCAR!!" Grian yelped, shoving him out of the way and typing something rapidly into the computer.

<GoodTimeWithScar> but even i can agree that grian is the best! he's my one true love <3

"Grian!" Scar snapped, sounding a bit annoyed. "Can you stop? Please?"

Grian halted, feeling like he'd definitely overstepped his boundaries. "Sorry."

"No, it's okay." Scar said, a smile playing on his lips. "I wanted to write that message out myself."

Grian blushed again for what seemed like the tenth time. "Really?"

"No, I'm just pulling your leg." Scar chuckled, almost sharing Grian's mischievous personality at that moment. They both laughed quietly, ignoring that more people were typing things in chat.

"Yes really." He finished, his own embarrassment at Grian's messages reddening his cheeks.

"I love you no matter what." He chirped, wrapping Grian in a side hug. As they were distracted, a hiss emitted from the screen, making them both jump, sending them both almost tumbling out of the chair they were sharing.

They looked back at the screen and saw that they had been blown up by a creeper. Scar helped Grian back into the chair while clicking respawn and seeing the messages that flooded in after the death message.

<iskall85> Too busy kissing your boyfriend to pay attention?

<MumboJumbo> The wedding's still on right?

<GoodTimesWithScar> omg you guys

Grian glanced over at Scar, whose face was flushed bright red as he read the messages. Grian felt his own cheeks getting warm, too.

He cleared his throat. "Uh..."

Scar coughed a bit. "Yeah."

Grian started rambling, trying to make up for the awkward silence. "I'm so sorry if you're uncomfortable with this or anything, it was my fault the death messages in chat popped up, and we're DEFINITELY not kissing and--"

"Hey." Scar placed a hand on his shoulder, stopping him midsentence. "It's okay. I'm perfectly fine with this."

"Really? Even the kissing comments--?" Grian said, then blushed furiously again.

"Those are fine. Better than okay, actually." Scar looked Grian in the eye, then smiled mischievously- a look Grian had seen one too many times in the mirror.

"And about not kissing...we can change that, if you want."

Grian halted, having to replay that sentence again. He looked at Scar, who waited eagerly for his response. He returned the smile.

"I'd like that."

Scar didn't hesitate to press his lips against Grian's and raise his hands to Grian's cheeks, and around his neck, embracing him loosely.

Grian leaned into his boyfriend's touch, smiling brightly.

They leaned back, eyes sparkling with emotion as they stared at each other, trying to ignore the screen once again to melt into another embrace. But they couldn't ignore the message that popped into the corner of their eyes.

<iskall85> NOOT NOOT!

They couldn't hold it in, and both exploded into a fit of laughter, drowning out the normal Minecraft sounds as they giggled about Iskall's statement. One thing was for sure--

They would never forget this.

Grian reached over and typed something into chat.

<GoodTimesWithScar> Shut up Iskall, we're noot nooting

<iskall85> Wait, do you mean-?

<MumboJumbo> ISKALL NO

Grian looked at Scar, biting his bottom lip, "Noot?"
