" Are we gonna have a problem?"

Sam stepped closer to X, who was nervously trying to back away. Grian was casually smoking, a habit he'd picked up to deal with the stress of constantly getting knives thrown at him. 

Over the past week, X had sat with The Mains, establishing him as scary. Now, however, he was attempting to rejoin the Hermits.

It was not going well.

" You got a bone to pick? You've come so far, why now are you pulling on my dick?"

X winced as Sam brought the knife closer to his neck. Grian watches with a mellow calmness, one you obtain after being on the end of that curved steel many times. 

" I'd normally stab your guts out, and everyone here could watch!"

X's friends were getting aggressive. Oh, this would be interesting.

" But I'm feeling nice, here's some advice, listen up biatch!"

Grian grinned as Sam stepped away from X, who's hands shot up to his neck to check for injury or other. This wouldn't just be interesting, it would be fun. Especially since Sam is such a dumbass for thinking he could tear the void walker from his friends - practically family, Grian had noticed- this easily.

...

The Mains formed a sort of triangle facing X, with Sam standing infront.

" I like.. Spilling guts, buying things they cannot!"

Sam threw his knife in the air for some desperate soul to catch. People tried for it, as Taurtis replaced Sam's position.

" I like dangerous stunts, maxing dad's credit card."

For good measure, Taurtis threw some yen into the air, which had more people scrambling for. It's free money, after all! Even a scarred friend of X's tries to grab some. Grian steps forward, stretching out his wings and expelling the crowd.

" I like, skippin' gym, scarin' her, screwin' him,"

Grian pointed at Taurtis on that last verse, who promptly flushed and yelled " ONLY ON TUESDAYS!!" Sam replaced Grian, and the triangle was back in its original form.

" I like killer clothes, kicking nerds in the nose!

If you lack the balls, you can go play dolls, let your mommy fix you a snack."

Oh, and Sam was approaching X ominously again. 

" Or, you could come smoke, pound some rum & coke, in a Porsche with the quarterback!!!"

X just stared at Sam jabbed his chest, grabbing his hand and spinning around. The Mains followed Sam as he dragged X towards the abandoned closet where he kept his egregious amount of weapons.

" Honey, whatcha waiting for? Welcome to my candy store!"

X shrunk as Grian turned on the lights, revealing machinery meant for SWAT teams.

" Time for you to prove your not a loser anymore,"

Taurtis leaned over X's shoulder, his honeyed voice attempting to tempt the void walker. It wasn't really working.

" Guys fall at your feet, pay the check, help ya cheat!"

" you are gay, right?' Taurtis whispered in X's ear, to which he just stood, dumbfounded.

" All you have to do, say goodbye to to the Hermits,

Those freak's aren't your friends, I can tell in the end,

if they had your shot, they would leave you to rot!"

Grian was kindof shocked he was participating in this, but he was right. Or maybe it was his lack of faith in the universe after so much had happened by people who were supposed to love him..

Eh.

" ' Course if you don't care, fine, go braid some hair."

Sam's biting tone was back, threatening as ever.

" Maybe Sesame Street is on."

Grian wanted to facepalm, X clearly wasn't reacting to Taurtis & Sam's biting remarks.

" Or forget those creeps, and get in my police car-"

" Let's go tear up someone's lawn!!"

Sam had slung his arm over X, waving his hand in the air as though painting the scene for all to see.

" Honey, whatcha waiting for?? Welcome to my candy store!!"

Taurtis joined Sam in leaning on X, doing the same motions.

" you just gotta prove your not a pussy anymore!!"

" And step into my candy store."

Sam glanced at Grian, a warning if he didn't help them. Ugh.

" You can join the team, or you can bitch & moan.

You can live the dream! - Grian halfheartedly flares his wings at this sentence- or you can die alone."

" You can fly with eagles, or if you prefer, keep on testing me & end up like him!!"

Sam pointed at Taurtis, who lifted his shirt to reveal the half-stitched stab wound from a couple months earlier. X audibly gasps, and Grian rolls up his sleeve reveal half-healed old cuts and such. Oh, yeah, and that one bullet wound. That one was wrapped up, at least.

" Honey, whatcha waiting for-"

" Shut the fuck up, Gree-on~

Step into my candy store!! Time for you to prove you're not a lame-ass anymore, and step into my candy store!!"

X frowned as he was shoved closer to the wall of weapons. Somehow, he'd found himself with a dangerous crowd of people.

...

Who knew what could happen? 

..

He could slowly slip out, yes. It'd be fine.

X took a breath, finally picking up a small dagger.

Oh, what had he gotten himself into?

~

Bonus, setup for some plot...

Grian was alone, finally. X rushed forward, tapping his arm.

" Hey, I noticed you don't really seem to like Sam... and the Mains in general."

" What about it? It's hard not to, considering.."

Grian stopped, glaring at air.

" I wondered if you'd like to meet my friend group? The Hermits? We accept everyone!"

Some of The Hermits waved from where they'd gathered in the cafeteria.

" Are you fucking kidding me? Those losers? Psah. I'd rather stick with the Mains."

Oh, well, that was rude. X frowns, before noticing how Grian was definitely bluffing. The slight poof to his wings gave away his fear, his discomfort.

Something else was stopping him from accepting, and X could only guess it involved Sam. 

...

Back with the Hermits, quite a few seem angered by Grian's reaction, even Etho.

" That was really mean, like what does he even have tethering him to them?? After everything?"

" Etho, what is ' everything'?"

".. I only have an outsider's view & rumors, not the real story. I don't trust it, but I do know some shit went down between Sam & Taurtis. In fact, Grian was never meant to stay here, some say.

He was supposed to go back to England. I don't know why he stuck here..."
