The Pit In My Stomach, The Pit In My Heart.

Summary:

Sure, Mumbo had a complicated relationship with taking care of himself, but that was nobody's business other than his. So what if he skipped meals constantly and rarely slept? Nobody needed to know. He was completely fine!

..Maybe.

 

[Formerly "Fully Alive" and "All laughing at me, I fear I know what they see"]

Notes:

[Slow updates]

Haha, I was sad so I decided to make this.
I've never experienced an ED, so please do correct me if I write things incorrectly!

Title suggested by Fandom_Fixations!

Chapter 1: Dizzy.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Dizzy. Mumbo felt dizzy. Not like it was a major issue, but he’d be wrong if he said it hadn’t interfered with his redstone work. But, if anybody asked, he was fine. He wiped sweat from his forehead and went to pack up his things. So what if he felt a little dizzy? He’d just go lie down and hope that would fix it.

 

He grabbed his shulker boxes and clipped on his elytra. He zipped off into the sky and flew his way home to his temple.

Notes:

Sorry chapter one was short, it's literally 1am right now.

Chapter 2: Fall.

Summary:

Mumbo gets home, but of course, nothing goes to plan.

Notes:

Idk about the title of this fic, so lmk if you have any suggestions!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Mumbo stumbled a bit when he landed, but thankfully hadn't dove head first into the dirt. Once he steadied himself, he walked inside and leapt down the centre to his storage system.

It probably would've ended better if he'd remembered to glide down. His vision blurred as he fell down, so it must've slipped his mind. He fell onto the grass with a harsh thump.

If you asked him what happened next, he wouldn't be able to tell you. His vision blurred beyond comprehension as he laid on the grass, smudges of color dancing around him.

 

Surely a nap wouldn't hurt, would it..?

Notes:

Hopefully a longer chapter next time, sorry for the cliffhanger, I'm writing this before going to school lmao-

Chapter 3: Found.

Summary:

Iskall comes to the rescue.

Notes:

Ayeee POV change

Edit: Used the wrong pronouns for Iskall in the beginning line, so sorry!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Iskall took out their communicator.

 

<Iskall85>  Mumbooooo

<Iskall85> Mumbo, hermir chalenges!!

<Iskall85>  Dude are you afk??????

 

Iskall huffed, pocketing their comm and putting on their elytra. They dashed off into the sky. They flew their way to Mumbo's temple to confront him in person. Mumbo typically wasn't the type to ghost someone, so he must've been afk or overly caught up in a project. The swed dove down, definitely not faring better in landing than Mumbo had.

They stumbled before catching their balance. "Mumbooo?" They called, walking about the redstoner's base. Maybe he was down in his storage system? Wouldn't hurt to check, they supposed. They hopped down, taking a small tick of fall damage.

 

"Mumbo?" Iskall scanned the room, before halting suddenly. Spotting the unconscious hermit, they sprinted towards him. They dropped to their knees beside the other.

 

"Mumbo!?"

I promised a longer chapter, and I delivered
