TW: Panic attack, mentions of Sam, forgetting who you are

3rd Person POV

Grian wipes the sweat from his brow, looking up at his masterpiece. It had taken weeks but finally his base was done. Standing tall and proud were the cylinders coming out of the water.

"Grian!"

The shorter jumps, turning around quickly to see who it is.

"Scar, you scared me."

"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you, your base looks amazing!"

"Why thank you, the outside is finally done."

"And the inside?"

"We don't talk about the interior."

"Mmm alright then."

"Whats up?"

"Oh right! Have you seen any rabbits? I want to make rabbit stew to sell at the shop."

"N-no, can't say I've seen any rabbits, have you tried the mountains or desert yet?"

"I'll go check the Christmas district, if you see any will you kill them for me?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Thanks G, see you later!"

The Brit watches the other fly away, trying to calm his shaking hands. It's just a rabbit, no need to get all worked up about nothing.

It's just a rabbit.

An animal.

It's not him.

It's not Sam.

He was safe.

He was...he was Taurtis?

No, no that didn't sound right.

Taurtis? Xelqua? No, neither of those sounded right.

Then...who was he?

There's a hand on his shoulder causing him to flinch away.

"Hey, it's ok, you're ok Grian."

He looks up at Xisuma and hugs him tightly.

"You're ok, everything's ok." The taller rubs his back.

"Im sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for."

"Its my fault, its all my fault."

"Shhh G, calm down, can you take some deep breaths for me?"

He nods, taking some deep breaths and slowly calming down.

"There you go, you're doing great. Just a few more."

He takes a few more deep breaths, wiping the tears off his face.

"Thank you..."

"You ok?"

"Y-yeah, I'm fine."

"Well thats not true, I won't force you to tell me but I'm here if you want to talk about it. Ok?"

"Thank you X."

"Do you need anything at all?"

"No, no I'm ok, did you need something?"

"Yes but it can wait. You should go lay down for a bit."

He nods, "Yeah, yeah ok."

Xisuma watches the younger go into his base before going over to Mumbo's.

"Mumbo! Are you home!?"

"Just a sec!" The mustache man flies down to Suma, "What's up X?"

"Can you keep an eye on Grian for me? I think he just had a panic attack."

"I'll keep an eye on him, don't worry."

"Thanks Mumbo, if it continues, we may have to see what Cub says but I'd like to leave that as a last resort if possible."

The British man nods, "Don't worry X, I'll make sure he's ok."

"Alright, you know where to find me if you need me."

"Yep, see you around."

Xisuma waves and leaves, Mumbo runs a hand through his hair with a sigh.

"I wonder what trigger it this time. I'll have to go check on him."

He cleans up before heading over to Grian's base, finding the boy asleep. Mumbo smiles leaving a note before heading back to his own base to continue the redstone.
