Party @ decked out 2 tomorrow night
Tango announced into the main chat. ‘Hm, a party’ Scar thought ‘I wonder if he’ll be there’
------------------------Time skip to tomorrow bc idk what to write--------------------------------------
‘Huh, it’s already 6. I should probably start getting ready for that party.’ Scar thought, starting to make his way to his starter base.
Looking through his closet, he found the perfect outfit. It consisted of a green and white off the shoulder dress, some matching high heels, a mini top hat and a couple of earrings scattered across his long, pointed ears. Their hair was styled down, with 2 braids on either side which connected into one in the center.
But the time he had finished getting ready, it was about 8:30 . He knew he needed to get going soon, or else he was going to be late.
--------------------------------------------------Time skip #2-----------------------------------------------
Scar had only been there for 2 minutes before he heard drunk flirting in the distance. He instantly recognized the voice as Grian’s. If they were being entirely honest, Scar thought Grian was still with bigB after the secret soulmate incident, but he must have been wrong.
“Oh…um Grian, you’re incredibly drunk right now. Could you perhaps back up a little.” A different voice responded, Mumbo. Scar could easily tell how uncomfortable Mumbo was in the situation, his voice higher pitched than usual.
“Hey guys,” Scar said, hoping to intervene with the situation. Thankfully Grian took a couple of steps back from Mumbo when they saw Scar. It hadn’t even been a month since they broke yup during double life.
“I’m going to go get another drink” Grian said, finding the quickest way to leave the room.
“Oh my days, thank you Scar. Mumbo thanked as soon as Grian was out of earshot. “They were getting uncomfortably close.”
“I could tell. Your voice goes higher in pitch when you’re uncomfortable.” Scar responded, patting his friend encouragingly on the back.
“It does!?! Also, if you don’t mind me asking, what happened between you and Grian during the last game. I know you broke up, but I always thought you’d end on good terms, not hate each other.” Mumbo asked, the awkwardness growing slowly.
“I guess you probably deserve an explanation. So during the last game, everyone was soul bound to another. Me and Grian were soulmates. At first everything seemed alright, but then Grian quickly started growing distant. To the point they were gone for days at a time. I then learnt they had a “secret soulmate” , they hated being stuck with me that much… can’t blame them if I’m being entirely honest. I’m Scar, I’m the one people say they’ll love forever only to suddenly leave, I’m the one people always forget about, I’m the one that is always there yet never chosen…” He felt a rough, coarse hand on his cheek, wiping away tears he hadn’t even notice leave his eyes.
“Scar…” Mumbo started, his voice soft. It was only then Scar fully took in the situation. He quickly wiped away the tears, “but you know it’s probably nothing that big, just life.” They rushed out and smiled. Ignoring the flow of tears streaming his face.
“Scar, you know it’s alright to have insecurities and to cry in front of others, right?” Mumbo said lifting Scar’s face to look at him. Scar laughed slightly, letting himself relax. He watched Mumbo’s face as a subtle blush set in, framing his mustache in a soft pink hue.
Before he had time to process it, his lips were on Mumbo’s. Everyone always talks about kisses being slow and not lasting long. But this was nothing like that, they were onto each other in less than a minute, both desperate to deepen this moment as much as possible. Mumbo’s hands were around Scar’s waist within seconds. Pulling him closer till Scar was sitting on his lap.
‘Void…’ Scar thought. Hoping to deepen the kiss even more, they nipped at Mumbo’s bottom lip. Not hard enough to draw blood, but enough to stir a reaction from the other man.
Scar couldn’t stop the smirk that grew on his face as Mumbo moaned into the brunette’s mouth. His breath was hot, the faint taste of blood, which must have been from an earlier meal.
They pulled away from each other for a couple of minutes, needing to catch their breaths. Their foreheads resting on each other’s.
“You did that on purpose,” Mumbo muttered, through shallow breaths,” I can’t do that back to you because I’m a vampire.”
If Scar was being entirely honest, he hadn’t even thought about that. Though he was not going to let Mumbo know that, curiosity filling him as he considered his next words.
“Hmm, maybe I did. I’m sure there are other ways you could treat me specially.” Scar responded, winking. His voice a charismatic, hushed whisper that sent a shiver through Mumbo.
“Maybe there is.” Mumbo said with more confidence then either expected. Before Scar had fully processed what Mumbo meant, they were going at it again, Mumbo’s tongue somehow ending up in the mix.
“Void…” Scar breathed weakly into his companion’s mouth, pulling himself impossibly closer. Desperate to get even closer to Mumbo. Scar grabbed onto Mumbo’s ruby red tie. Trying to Untie it with fumbling hands, as he also introduced Mumbo’s mouth to his tongue. The longer they went on like this, the more the passion grew. Till Mumbo was lying on his back, looking up at Scar. Mumbo had always known that Scar looked good. But seeing him like this, Mumbo couldn’t help but appreciate everything about the other man.
‘Void, what did I do to deserve someone like Scar.’ Mumbo thought giving Scar full control over the situation.
“Whatcha thinking about, handsome?” Scar asked, after he noticed Mumbo seemed distracted by something else. A slight hint of worry laced his words. But he tried to play it off.
“What did I do to deserve someone like you?” Mumbo muttered, looking at Scar’s mismatched eyes. One a enchanting shade of forest green, the other a pale green overridden by white.
A look of confusion grew on Scar’s face. His arms started growing weak from holding him up, he let himself collapse on the soft surface next to Mumbo. Mumbo turned to his left where Scar now lay. He took Scar’s hands in his own.
“Scar. You are one of, if not, the kindest, most caring person I’ve ever met. Your presence alone is enough to make me, and everyone else, smile even on the worst days. You always put your friends and family before yourself. You’ve never been afraid to show off your true self. And…I love you Scar. And I know you only very recently broke up with Grian and that you’re probably not ready for another relationship just yet-” Before Mumbo couple start overthinking it too much, Scar kissed him again. It was quick, over before it started.
“I love you too Mumbo”
