"Grian, my friend Iskall is going to be here in 10 minutes, ok? So no messing around." Mumbo gave Grian a quick peck on the cheek. 

"Me? Messing around? Neverrrrrr." Grian drawled sarcastically. 

~ 10 minutes later ~ 

The doorbell rang. Mumbo opened the door. 

"Iskall!" He motioned for his friend to come inside. 

"Mumbo!" Iskall walked through the door and hugged Mumbo. 

"Welcome, welcome! Want anything to drink?" The ravenette asked while walking to the kitchen. 

"Do you have alcohol?" 

"I have Capri suns."  

"That works." 

Mumbo grabbed two juice pouches and set one down in front of Iskall, who was sitting at the table. Mumbo sat as well. 

"So, what's new?" Iskall asked as he stabbed his juice pouch with the flimsy plastic straw. 

"Nothing mu-" Mumbo got caught mid sentence by Grian kissing the back of his neck. 

He coughed. "Nothing much. You?" 

"You ok?" 

Mumbo nodded. "Yep. All good." 

Grian continued to kiss at his neck the entire visit. 

~ Next day ~  (TW: Su1c1d3) 

"Grian?" 

"Yes, Mumbo?" 

"... Who was Scar? You mentioned him." 

"Oh. I can tell you the story. It goes something like this... 

'I love you, Scar.' I said. 

'I love you too.' A tear fell from his eyes as he tried to reach for my hand. Just like every other time, my hand passed through his. 

'I- I'm tired of this. I love you, and I want to hug you, kiss you, touch you.' He cried. 

'You know there's no way.' I said, like I always do. 

'We've been missing the easiest solution this whole time.' He smiled weakly. 

'Wha-' my face dropped as I saw a knife. 

'Scar. You're not serious.' 

'If I become a ghost, we can be together, forever!' Tears were streaming down his face, and mine too. 

I was wearing the white converse he had bought me. He knelt down on the ground, on one knee and head down. I was scared. 

'See you in a second, Grian.' He said, calm. 

'No, Scar don-' 

'I love you.' He smiled at me, pain in his eyes. 

'I love you too, Scar.'  I sobbed. 

He plunged the knife into his heart, his last living moments happening in front of me. He kept  bleeding and bleeding. After 6 minutes it was obvious he was running out of blood. 

'I love you, Scar.' I cried. 

'I love you too.' He reached out again. So did I. But something was different. 

Our hands touched. We made contact. So I leaned down and kissed him. He kissed back. 

And then he didn't." Grian finished his story with tears in his eye. 

"Oh." Mumbo hugged Grian. "Don't worry, I'm here." He kissed Grian's forehead. 

"I love you Mumbo." 

"I love you too."
