Chapter Text

The server is going nuts. Martyn and Ren were claimed to be their enemies. Most of the server was on Dogwarts side... except for two people.

Everyone on the server are very close friends, some more close some less but they all friends. No real hard feelings only lore. Grian hated lore right now. Because of this stupid lore he ended up with only Scar on his side. And while he love Scar very much he still misses hanging out with others.

Now there was two people on the server who Grian knew for a very long time and who still weren't enemies with the Desert.

Grian looked at wooden spiky wall. It is very flammable and someone will definitely burn it one day but that's gonna happen later.

Grian sighed watching as Scar casually walked through the entrance. Grian stopped right in front of the gates watching as Jimmy and Scott appearing from behind the mound. Jimmy and Scar immediately start chatting. They were both on red and were supposed to be hostile and dangerous and all that stuff.

"Hey Gri you can come in"

Grian blushed and walked through the gates standing next to Scott.

"Right... Thanks"

Scott winked at him.

"You're welcome sweetie~"

Grian looked up at Scott trying to look intimidating only to be hit with realisation that out of four of them he's the shortest one.

They ended up creating an alliance. Grian was happy that he finally has some more people on his side.

Scott died by Etho during the battle in the Red desert. He respawned in his house and immediately start gathering left over potions and spare stuff. Few moments later he saw Grian death message in the chat and run back to the desert after quickly getting everything he found in his chests.

While he run towards the desert his comm made a sound. Looking at it he stopped right in front of the desert looking at Jimmy's death message in the chat.
Jimmy just lost his final life. He's dead. He's out. Scott gulped and looked forward at Dogwarts people in the distance. Scott hide behind the tree sneakily watching as enemies leave.

As soon as the last person of Dogwarts left the desert Scott rushed forward running towards the bunker. He stooped looking at empty building that was supposed to be a safe place for Jimmy and Scar.

Scott looked around noticing a few feathers behind the bunker. He run down there.

"Grian!"

Grian jumped raising his head to Scott. He had tears and rage in his eyes. Scott walked closer pulling Grian into a gentle hug.

"Scar is still alive... Skizz killed him..."

"Shh... i know..."

Scott pulled Grian closer leaving a gentle kiss on the back of his head.

"We still alive. I have potions. We can still fight"
Grian sobbed even though his eyes were full of anger and hunger for a revenge.

***

They found Scar but Scott got separated from them and died by Rendog twice going out.

At the end Grian took the win. He won against Scar. Now he was looking down from the monopoly mountain not sure what to do.

He was alone now. Scar is dead. Bdubs is dead. Jimmy is dead. Ren and Martyn are also dead. Scott is out too...

Grian hold his breath and walked of the cliff hoping to meet his friends again, hoping that his friends are okay and not mad at him.

The lightning strike. Everything went white for a second but then there was just darkness. He felt like he lost conscious.

Scott tried to open his eyes. Slowly his vision started to get clearer. He could see the dark room. He laying in something very soft. Scott weakly shift into a sitting position and looked down.

Even though he could actually see now it was too dark for him to see where's he. Scott felt the soft pillows under himself.

His head was killing him so he waited a few more minutes before standing up and carefully getting out of the nest. He recognized the avian bed almost immediately after he felt soft pillows.

His favorite little bird is somewhere here so he walked out of the room in order to find him. After a few minutes Scott finally found avian pulling him into a hug.

"Hi"

"Hey, Scott! Congratulations on your win!"

Scott nuzzled into Grian's hair mumbling some thanks.

"You have anything that could help with headache?"

Grian nodded slightly trying to not interrupt Scott to much. He petted Scott's head gently using his Watcher magic to get rid of migraine. Scott relaxed sighing out of pleasure.

"Thanks. I'm sorry i haven't spent time with you this season..."

"It's okay. I'm grateful you helped my sister to get through everything that was going on the server."

"Pearl was actually a nice teammate!"

Grian hummed turning around to hug Scott back.

"One day I'll get her on a team with me!"

"Of course. So what is this place? Also i kinda remember staff more detailed than before"

Grian looked around not minding that Scott lifted him and now carried him towards the couch.

"This is the Winner space. At least that what i call this place. It's actually nice. We can't get hurt in here as there's like infinity regeneration"

Scott sat on the couch settling Grian on his laps comfortably.

"So that's where the winners will go?"

"I believe so. We can do whatever we want here and you can get whatever you want because apparently this place have special magic that can summon almost anything except for other players."

"So we can't summon Pearl for example?"

"No we can't. And the migraine you had i think was because of sudden memory recover"

"That makes sense"

Scott start gently preening Grian's wings enjoying the view of colorful feathers. There's a lot more seasons gonna happen in the future but for now they gonna just chill and spend time with each other.

Scott gathered everyone at the spawn area. He was standing on the stairs Nox Crew was slightly behind him with some new people.

"So guys! Let me introduce for you new players of MCC! We got Dream with us now as well as George! They are gonna play on team Lime Llamas!"

Two guys waved to the crowd. Most of the people already knew them so they didn't need to introduce themselves. Dream walked down to their team followed by George.

Scott waited to the crowd to calm down a bit before he continued.

"Okay! Now we also have some more new players! Fruitberries and Fundy both gonna play on a Blue Bats team!"

Both Fundy and Fruit didn't have as much popularity as Dream and George so people calmed down much quicker.

Scott didn't even flinched when the sudden weight appeared at his shoulder. He looked at Pearl who sighed quietly apologizing for that. Scott gave her a smile and looked back the the crowd.

"Now there's another two members. PearlescentMoon and Grian. They both will be on my team Cyan Creepers."

Scott grinned as he heard some disappointed sighs from the crowd. Grian was pretty well known and there was a bunch of his friends who was really happy to finally see him on MCC.

"Okay people there's 20 minutes before the start of the event so you can go talk with each other"

Scott looked up at Grian who was happily perching on his shoulder. Avian looked down at him.

"This is so cool Scott! Thanks for inviting me!"

Scott smiled and walked to the crowd as he knew that he'll be Grian's perch spot for next few hours.

"Scott are you okay? There's literally a person sitting on your shoulder"

Scott looked at Techno.

"Yeah I'm fine. Grian is not that heavy and also I'm used to it already."

"Yeah we all used to being a perch spots lol"
Martyn appeared out of nowhere slightly scaring Grian that he has to use his wings to not fall. Avian chirped angrily at him.

The count down has started and Scott start walking to their team with Grian still sitting on his shoulder.

"Grian tried to kill me by pushing me from our tower!"

Scott runs along with Gem, Bdubs and Scar. They went after Grian. Scott wasn't really mad but he was a bit disappointed. He noticed Grian on the top of the hill and run towards him.

"Grian!"

Scott caught avian trapping him in warm hug.

"Bad Grian!"

Grian pouted and his feather fluffed up.

"You can't blame me!"

"Bad Grian! This is just like when the dog gets too exited over something and you mad and not mad at him at the same time!"

Grian pouted in Scott's arms feeling very comfortable. After a minute Scott decided to move away to check around them. He was standing near G looking at the distance.

"I just got anger."

Scott looked at him smiling. Scar and Bdubs were standing a bit away talking to each other. Gem was next to Grian. The Villies were really inseparable.

"Yeah i understand but right bow we need you to adress your anger to someone else. I'll forgive that because you're the only one who can kill in this group."

Grian nodded and flew to Scott perching on his shoulders.

"Okay okay. You know that i had to do that"

"Yeah i understand the reason and the temptation"

"I don't understand how do they work..."

Grian and Scott laughed at Scar. Grian jumped of from Scott walking back to Gem to talk about traps and other staff.

"I don't know what are you talking about."

Cleo was hanging out with Martyn. Most of the server were in the Deep Dark playing with Warden. Pearl... well Scott didn't want to know what was she doing. Yes she's his soulmate this season but it's... let's just say it's really difficult.

Scott was wandering around the server when he saw a giant... Velvet cake? Well it's obviously a base. I guess he can explore it later.

He run after his favorite bird who seems to somehow not notice him in the forest.

"Grian!"

Avian jumped and looked around. The moment he saw Scott he turned pink and tried to smooth his feathers. Elf chuckled and walked to him.

"Hi! How you doin birdie?"

Grian snored at the nickname.

"Doing fine. In fact i would do even better if Scar stopped taking so much damage!"

Scott smiled and gave Grian some cookies. Grian looked at the food for a few seconds.

"He's gonna think I'm with BigB again..."

Scott giggled when Grian shrugged his shoulder and ate cookie anyway.

"Soo... Is that your base?"

Grian nodded looking very proud of himself.

"It looks... flammable"

Avian choked on his cookie and looked at Scott offended.

"What?! It's not flammable! That's sound like a bit of a threat..."

Scott gasped dramatically.

"Me?! A threat?! Noooo"

Grian looked at Scott suspiciously and stole the last cookie from him angrily putting it into his mouth still glaring at him.

Scott found Grian on the mountain playing around with goats. A slight blush appeared on his face as he excitedly run towards the avian.

"Hi Gri! Whacha doin here?"

Grian jumped away from goat just in time but didn't get anything.

"Trying to get a horn. What are u doing here?"

"Just wandering around." Scott carrfully pulled a peace on dirt from Grian's feathers.

"Hm.. Thanks... Have you found your soulmate?" Grian leaned on Scott's shoulder a bit.

"Nope. What about you?"

"No but whoever I'm partnered with is desperately trying to get me killed"

Scott pinched Grian's cheek slightly.

"It's for your soulmate. I think they deserve it"

Grian chuckled.

"Do you have any food?"

"Yup." Scott pulled a few slices of watermelon from his inventory. "Here take those."

"Woah. Where did you find so much already?" Grian took a bite and hummed.

Scott pointed down at the jungle biome next to the mountain there were standing on.

"There's plenty of them"

Grian left a quick kiss on Scott's lips leaving guy speechless.

"Mm. You're a melon!"

Scott felt his face flashing and his heart beating wildly. Gosh this guy will be the death of him one day.

Scar punched Scott provoking his dog to attack the vex hybrid. Scott laughed and comanded his dog to sit down. Grian was wandering around not too far from them and Cleo was standing right next to them.

"You hurt me! Don't blame me!"

"Well i thought you were a pair!" Scar frowned.

Scott rolled his eyes and watched his dog biting Scar we he got too close. Immediately his eyes catched something in the grass.

That was Grian. He flinched when dog bit Scar. Scott widen his eyes. Not again. He felt bad for Grian. No hate towards Scar but he was a lot to handle and definitely not the easiest to live with shared health.

Scott looked at Grian ignoring Scar and Cleo's fightings. He pulled out his horn. Grian blew his horn as well smiling at Scott slightly.

Scott glanced over Scar abd Cleo. The two were still fighting so he run to Grian and pulled him into a hug.

"If you need anything or just want to talk I'm always here for you"

Grian looked up in Scott's eyes.

"But what about Cleo?"

Scott grinned and petted avian's head slightly.

"She's not my soulmate. I think i know who we're partnered with but we decided that we'll stuck together even after we meet them."

"Oh... Okay."

Grian nuzzled into Scott. The comfort was definitely needed.

Scott was restocking his dye shop.

He was missing some light-blue, red and black. Red wasn't a problem as he had a bunch of roses to get the red dye from. Black was a huge problem as he didn't want to hunt for squids and obviously he hasn't got enough resources for wither roses. Light-blue...

Scott heard the the soft noises from outside. A parrot hybrid was perching on the roof of one of his houses.
Grian was looking around and chirped happily as he saw Scott. Elf lifted his arm for Grian to land on.

Scott was walking down the street heading to his house while listening to beautiful trills and chirps from avian.

Bird boy jumped from Scott's arm to walk into the house. He honestly missed when Grian start telling him about how he scared Scar to death again. Now he starting telling Scott about his new idea for a prank trap... that includes tnt...

"That's a very bad idea Gri. This will cause so much damage!"

Grian hummed agreeing with him. But he didn't look at Scott. He sighed.

"You already set this trap...?"

"Yup!" A loud explosion was heard from a far.

Scott mumbled something about Grian being a menace to society and pulled avian in his arms and carring him to the bedroom.

"Who is the victim?"

"Joel..." Grian looked up in Scott's eyes carefully but relaxed seeing elf smirking.

"You must tell me the details and than we will go see the damage. I want to see how much of his ego blew up"

Grian chirped excitedly and start happily telling Scott everything he's done to annoy Joel and Jimmy.

They are a couple for a reason.

Chapter Text

Cabin boys were so confused. After Etho betrayed Villies it was clear that their alliance was over.

Apparently Scott was an exception.

They start to notice Scott spending less time with them every day.

Now it's finale time. Grian tried to kill Scott. He was still somehow on green while Grian was already on red.

Scar did not understand how their relationships worked. Like Grian literally shoved Scott of the tower and Scott barely survived but they just hang out like nothing happened...

"I don't understand..."

Gem looked at him.

"What you don't understand?"

"They literally just tried to kill each other... Etho betrayed Grian. The horse alliance is over. But they still together!"

"Yes and?"

"Do you have a problem with true love?"

Scar flinched. Scott appeared right behind him. Grian was sitting right on Unicorn hybrid's shoulders.

Scar was kinda jealous. Neither in 3rd life or Double life Grian wasn't as soft as he's now with Scott.
