"Grian, you need to come out of your triangle room." Mumbo said flatly, pulling back the curtain into said triangle room. 

"Noooooooooo." 

"Yes." Mumbo started pulling Grian out of the room. 

"Why?" 

"I need to ask you something." 

"Uhhgggg. Fine." The two were now sitting on the couch. 

"Grian," Mumbo was serious as he looked at Grian. "Why do you keep kissing my cheek?" 

"It's not romantic or anything, it's just a respect thing." Grian hoped he sounded convincing. Apparently he did. 

"Ah. Ok. Well then, I'm sorry I haven't kissed your cheek." 

"It's fine, reall-" Grian started, being cut off by Mumbo kissing his cheek. "Oh. Wow." 

"Respect." Mumbo smiled, giving a thumbs up. 

"Respect." Grian smiled back, face warm but not noticeable. 

"Well, thanks for answering the question, you can go back to the triangle if you want." Mumbo fidgeted. 

"Come sit with me!" Grian grabbed Mumbo's hand and pulled him towards the triangle room. They sat down on some cushions that were on the floor, an awkward silence encasing them. 

"So-" "Hey-" they said at the same time. 

"You first." Grian gestured at Mumbo. 

"So... um. I don't know." 

"Ok. I just wanted to say that I'm tired." Grian stated. 

"I thought you didn't need sleep." 

"We dont. You know when you pull an all-nighter but feel like crap? It's like that. If we sleep we feel better." 

"Ohhh, that makes sense. I'm also tired. Nap?" 

"Yeah. Can we snuggle?" 

"Sure. Why not." 

They walked to Mumbo's room and layed down on the bed. Grian hugged Mumbo. 

"Huggggg..." Grian mumbled as they drifted off to sleep.
