Grian was in his study listening to music.
He was a bit sad and overestimated but he didn't want to burden anyone so he just sat there on his chair with his headphones on listening to music with a white t-shirt on and shorts because he didn't like the feel of the itchy cloth he called his sweater and jeans.
while feeling like you're about to explode from being so uncomfortable, His loud music helped him drown out all of his thoughts and all of the unbearable sounds around him.
He had finally calmed down enough to get back into his regular red sweater but he kept his shorts.
Mostly because he liked the feel of the warmth of an oversized thick sweater on him like another blanket, But the jeans were uncomfortable to be in at the moment.
He decided to take a walk because it would clear his mind.
It was a bit late at night around 11pm at the time so he didn't think anyone would be outside right now.
Scar was in his swaggon when he saw someone In a familiar sweater walking by.
"What is Grian doing outside at a time like this?"
Scar mumbled to himself while subconsciously walking out of his base as he walked out of his door something drew him to be cautious about approaching Grian,
Once he got close enough to see the shorter man's face, he saw traces of tears on his cheeks,
he then creeped up behind him and put his hand on his shoulder,
"Grian buddy why're you crying?"
Grian jumped at this and started tearing up.
"I-im sorry, I'm just a bit overwhelmed please don't worry about me, I'm okay."
Grian said smiling a bit while facing the taller of them.
Scar instantly called his bluff by saying "Oh no you don't, getting overwhelmed with no one there to help you is no good at all! Also, are you just not wearing pants?"
Scar said gesturing towards Grian's seemingly empty legs.
"Huh, oh no no no im wearing shorts!"
Grian said pulling his sweater up a little bit to show them and then immediately pulled it all the way back down slightly stretching it down blushing,
"And it's okay, really I'm fine."
He blurted back at Scar. Scar rolled his eyes and then followed by saying "Sure, anyways. Are we going to my place or yours?"
He said with a look of serious on his face.
"Ugh whatever you're not gonna budge are you Scar? My place I guess,"
to his surprise, Scar grabbed his hand mid thought and pulled him gently
"Well, shall we go then?"
Grian quickly looked up and nodded,
"y-yeah. Let's go" He said and started leading the way to his starter base.
As Scar was following behind Grian he felt himself start to smile thinking about the man in front of him.
He couldn't help but notice that his wings were in need of a preen but he decided to not comment on it.
He also decided that Grian was being too slow so he just decided to ask to just take off with him to his base.
As he was walking over to Grian he noticed his eye bags as well.
"Hey Gri, can I just- uh- pick you up?" He said asking for consent.
Grian looked over and sighed, he was getting pretty tired of walking anyways and he didn't feel like it anymore.
"Sure, I don't see why not." He said "but how're you goi-"
He got cut off by scar picking him up securely by his waist and motioned the smaller one to wrap his arms around his neck.
Grian complied putting his legs and arms around him resting his head on his chest.
"Oh ok then."
Grian said, still a bit shocked.
He then yawned stretching as much as he could and got comfortable on scars chest that was surprisingly muscular.
Probably because he works with logs and pounds upon pounds of dirt and gravel etc.
He felt his friends heartbeat and found himself drifting off to sleep to the rhythm of the beating beside him.
"Thank you Scar" he said before drifting.
Scar could tell he was asleep but answered anyways, "no problem buddy." He said, lifting his free hands.
One on his waist and the other on his head, playing with the others hair silently.
He then slowly walked over to Grians starter base even though he wanted to run because he didn't want to wake Grian.
As he quietly hummed he looked down at him, smiling warmly and continued walking until he got to the base.
Opening the door, he looked around for a bed to place him on.
He spotted a couch in the corner of the room and walked over to it he then sat Grian down on it
"nooooooo Scarr" Grian mumbled dragging his words out while half asleep.
Scar looked over and made a funny face at Grian.
Grian chuckled, "Gri you're acting kind of like a child right now. You must be really tired, go to bed."
Scar said trying to sound serious but failed badly.
"Fineeee" Grian said rolling his eyes.
As Scar was walking out Grian got up out of bed and started eyeing him.
He walked over and put his head on his back wrapping his arms around him.
Scar turned around resting his head on the top of the builder's and wrapping his arms around Grian's back, and he started purring.
"S-sorry uh, it's just nice to hug someone haha." Scar said instantly regretting hugging him back.
Grian looked up and laughed, "it's quite fine. Don't worry."
"And,"
"uhm, Don't leave,"
"please?"
Grian said looking down embarrassed.
Scar smiled, "Of course, anything for you Grian." He said looking down at him.
"Thank you, Scar," Grian said looking up at him smiling, still embarrassed.
Scar looked at Grian's some-what-nest like thing in the opposite corner of the couch, Grian called a bed.
He disregarded it because he knew Grian was a mix of birds-human hybrid and his bird-like instincts were at their fullest at this time of year...
When Grian noticed Scar starring at his bed he blushed.
"Sorry.. I havent uh, cleaned up.." He said scratching the back of his neck.
Grian let go of Scar.
"No It's perfectly fine, Honestly it looks extremely comfortable." Scar chuckled, scratching his head.
"Uh thanks, you know how it is. Right now my instincts are driving me crazy!" Grian said, his wings puffing up a bit.
Scar blushed, his cat-like ears dropped and his tail started wagging a bit.
//Cats wag their tails when nervous or defensive//
He remembered how just earlier, he caught himself kneading his pillow. And when he caught himself purring when Grian hugged him.
He looked at Grian, "Of course I understand. These past three days have been awful." He said cringing at the thoughts
/They talk about it for around 20 minutes/
"Grian, it's extremely late. You should sleep, I mean I can stay if you want but I didn't bring a bed or anything. Sooooo," Scar said playfully
Grian paused for a moment.
He truly didn't want Scar to leave. He was being so sweet and supportive, he just didn't want to see him leave. But they're was nothing to sleep on except his nest-bed and a couch.
Now usually he wouldn't let anyone come near his nest during his "week of dumb bird stuff" as he calls it, because of his instincts and how he gets but he didn't want Scar to have to sleep on a couch. That's uncomfortable.
So he not-knowingly let Scar into his nest.
