Grian felt his heart hammer in his chest as he tried to distract himself by building the base. It was easy to forget that Scar was his soulmate, that they were connected by 3 lives. He took a shaky breath and looked back down at the blueprints, he would be fine, he was fine. He could do this, he was stronger than when 3rd Life happened. At least he told himself that to keep his sanity. To not let the crushing weight of it all suffocate him. It felt like a lifetime since the desert sands, and him trying to gain back control of his life. Hands over his chest pressed back into a firm chest. The soft breath fanning over his ear, making him promise so many dark things. Speaking of blood, death, and pretty promises. As the fingers would brush over his feathers, making Grian smile both in fear and happiness. Last Life had changed them all, bringing out their more primal instincts. Many of them were afraid to talk about it out of the universe that was this. Grian knew this Scar was not the Scar he knew in Hermitcraft. But he also wants the chaotic gremlin from that server either. Oh, how the roles reversed and showed Grian he wasn't as big of a game as he talked.The first kills, the euphoric rush of his trap working. Grian felt himself give in slowly to Scar's plans, wanting that high again of success. Which only got worse when he'd turn red. Setting him up when he would leave the game. When he tried to not let Scar control him, Scar laughed at that with his dying breath and promised that Grian would never escape him.The next games came, and before the game, Scar agreed with Grian that their Last Lifes selves needed to stay away from each other. But that didn't stop the sorcerer from seeking out people to get into a contract. To manipulate them as he did Grian. All the while teasing Grian that while replacing him was hard, it would be easier to just come back.Grian's character took a stand back and refused to be coaxed back. Though he did help Scar, if out of some remains of brainwashing and kindness. His red-life self both hungered for the man and hated his guts. But Grian felt empowered after all that, he lost, but he was happy when it ended.For a time both of them thought they solved the problem. Scar and he got back to acting like old friends again, building their bases together and joking. And weren't too worried about the Double Life series coming up. What were the odds the system would put them together out of everyone? Grian had been hoping BigB would be his soulmate, as the two had joked about it before they entered the server.His hands shook, yet that didn't happen. The bird in him was confused, wanting to fly away from Scar, but also wanted to stay still when he approached. Grian would be fine, they'd get through this, and BigB had been helping him deal with this. Having been briefed on how Last Life did change people's personalities over time to the point they developed a different one for the server. Admins, like Scott, said it could be due to how Servers were like different worlds. And changing codes could change a person.As Grian finished the plans, he felt his breathing hitch as hands looped around his waist, the chin slotted over his shoulder. "Interesting design." Scar's voice muttered into his ear, green eyes meeting Grian's own. The possessive need was there, hands gripping his chest. "You seem tense my bird," he said softly to him.Grian felt his heart rate rise at that, he just hummed faintly to that. Scar didn't push for him to talk, leaning closer to Grian, "I've missed holding you in my arms. Hurt a lot when you ignored me last time." he near whispered to Grian's neck as he kissed it softly.A shiver went through Grian at that, "Ah yeah... but it wor-" he let out a small sound like a chirp as hands moved from his front to rub at the joints of his wings. "You really think that?" Scar asked as one arm held his waist, the other playing with the sensitive feathers. "You didn't once think of me holding you at night? Keeping out the cold?" he hummed playfully to Grian, watching with amusement at the red that was creeping up the other's face. Grian opened his mouth to answer, to deny it, but as Scar traced down his spine he let out instead a soft sigh, his tension fading so nicely. "Thought so little bird, I missed you too." Scar chuckled to him nuzzling the other's face and hair. "But you're back now, we're officially bonded. You won't leave now."Eyes screwed shut, the hands teasing against his feathers, he felt so warm. And in an instant, it was gone as Scar pulled away with a cheerful smile again. "So what are we building Grian?" he said in his usual peppy tone, carefree and excited.Swallowing hard, Grian gave his own smile, "I was thinking of going for something we can build up with." he started after finding his voice again.Scar laughed at that, "Well sounds like it'd be best to do that, though this will be home for a while it's always just temporary." he joked as Grian nodded in agreement. The other smiled softly at him, a hand petting his cheek, "it'll be a slow start, but we'll do this... won't we Grian?" he asked in a teasing tone, eyes deep with so many emotions.With a nod, Grian wanted to lean into the calloused hand, gosh what was wrong with him?. . .Apparently a lot of things, they were hiding out in a small hole by now as their base had been burned down. Scar was upset with him, Grian felt tense through the time of sundown. He had found out about BigB, and Giran could only guess that Scar hadn't gone to kill the man because he was still a green life. The silence was suffocating, he could feel the man's eyes on him. Burning with several emotions, most of them not good at all for him. Grian had his back to Scar, not wanting to look at those green eyes, instead focused on the door, watching for anything that moved. Time stretched on as it started to get cooler, until Grian tensed as hands gripped his hips and a head again on his shoulder, intense eyes staring at the spot Grian was fixated on. It was quiet, Scar held him like this, and his wings twitched. A soft sigh, warm breath fanning over his skin, "you always are trying to fly away, aren't you?" Scar grumbled to him, the hands moved to grip his arms slightly now, "Suppose that's my fault for thinking we were finally back to normal my lovely bird." The pet names were sweet, meaning Scar was just upset but not ready to do any rash. The last time Grian got like that, he lost a life. "I know it's hard." Scar muttered to him gently, "You've been away for so long, you forget things easily."Grian hummed at that, feeling upset at himself and at Scar for all of this. The hands tighten a bit, "Ren was right though, I'm too forgiving... You need a firm reminder." he near growled out.Before he could yelp he was pushed against the bed harshly, Scar was on top of him, holding him down with his body weight. Grian didn't struggle though, only gapping up at the man. Green eyes nearly flashed red by now, one hand now coming up to grip his chin. The stare was intense, so many things running through the actions and glare. "You. Are. Mine." Scar near snarled out to him, as he didn't let Grian look away. "And I'll make sure I hear you say it through screams until I think the message is there." His heartbeat was quickening again, as Scar licked his teeth a bit, a hungry look in his eyes as he stared down at his soulmate. Hands moved now to push up the shirt, Grian whined at the cold air that hit him, as the hands moved to explore his stomach, running over the smooth skin. Then moved up to rub over his nipples slightly, making Grian breathe out harshly."S-Scar." he near whispered, as his shirt was quickly torn off. Leaving both of them shirtless, and Grian was now able to see the other's face again.Determined look to the scarred face, "Say it with words now birdie... who do you want?" Scar asked in a teasing tone, as he kissed the other's neck area moving down with soft licks and kisses. Grian felt warm all over, his cheeks red. Fuck this was bad, but oh so good, he didn't fight back... he so badly wanted this from day one. Scar would tease him by preening his wings, nuzzling his skin with kisses, and getting very handy. But never going further than that. Grian let out a soft moan when the lips met his nipple, teasingly nipping it with teeth, he felt arousal peak a bit at Scar's movements. Grinding up against him just enough to hover their obvious arousal near, but not enough to really create anything other than ghosting friction.His mouth was open, he tried so badly to hold it all back, he... couldn't give in this easily. Scar didn't seem worried as he trained his hands down to start playing with his pants button and zipper. Grian made a noise of protest at the teasing, fuck why couldn't he just take it off. "You have to use your words." Scar told him calmly, "Or I will leave you like this."Fuck! Anything but that, Grian whined as Scar's fingers hovered over the hardon held back by clothing. "F-Fuck Scar please!" he near yelled out, as Scar chuckled at that, Grian looking to see a smirk, pleased and happy.As these words left, Scar tore open his pants and underwear, freeing Grian as he squeaked a bit when Scar wasted no time rubbing his length. Using his other hand to start taking off his own pants. stimulating Grian with fast to slow strokes, "Grian... I've missed this." Scar breathed out to him, moving up to meet the other's lips with a deep kiss. Grian leaned back into it in a daze as they pulled back panting. Scar pressed their foreheads together with an intense gaze. "I keep trying to hold myself back, to retain what my personality was before, to keep control... but fuck it's so hard each day, and I know you feel it too."A nod, he did, Grian felt the intense need each time they were near each other. Old habits died hard he guessed. They were groaning a bit as their dicks touched each other for a brief moment. "Scar if you don't fuck me," he left the sentence open but he could tell Scar was smirking.And of course the ass was prepared for this having been carrying a lube around. Grian wasn't going to voice this, heat in his stomach wanting to just let go. But Scar has stopped stroking him, "We'll do so together... and I want you to scream out who you belong too Grian." he said seriously. Grian didn't get a chance to nod, only to cry out as Scar started to push his way into the other entrance. His back arched as Scar gripped him upright, pressing him to the wall behind them. "BigB wouldn't be able to do this Grian," he snarled to the other pushing more up into the warm tightness. "I know you too well, I know how you like it, learned every bit of you in that desert night."Nights were cold, and staying warm together had turned into intense nights. Grian missed them sometimes, this felt so familiar. He moaned out at that, "S-Scar~" he whined out, "Sc- ohhhh." he felt the other stop pushing, no doubt having bottomed out. They were panting, as Scar held his waist, kissing against Grians' neck with each breath. "Don't fight it my bird, let's hear those pretty chirps."Grian did let out a chirp as the other started to thrust up and down, slowly at first, then picking up speed. He wrapped his legs around the other's waist, hands gripping the shoulders. "Fuck... Scar!" Grian was begging out as his back rubbed against the stone walls. Scar was panting out as he pressed their foreheads together, "Loud Grian..." he grunted out, "Who the fuck do you belong to here?" he asked with a hand moving to grip the others chin.Grian felt warmth building in him, Scar adjusted then with a harsh push hit that spot. A yell out of pleasure, "Y-Yours!" he said with this, as Scar started to hit his prostate harder once that slipped out. Grian's face was a deep red at how easily it slipped out."Again pretty bird." Scar growled as kept hitting his sweet spot again and again. The chirps and whines escaping, the dam was bursting at the seams. Grian couldn't stop himself, it felt so right despite how things were."F-Fuck, Scar... I'm yours! Please!" Grian managed to finally scream out through the mewls and whines, gosh anyone nearby would have heard them. A pleased hum, as Scar licked his neck biting it from time to time. They both were close, the edge approaching fast.And Grian didn't care anymore, gripping Scar's hair to pull him back and kissing him harshly. His talons clawed at the back despite how much it hurt him too. The wave overcame them, pleasure so intense it knocked their breath as they came. The warm heat filled up Grian and panting their stomachs.One breath... another breath... Scar slowly pulled out making Grian shiver as cum leaked out.Tired green eyes met Scar's own, both of them taking deep breaths as they stared at each other. Grian tangled his fingers through the brown locks, leaning forward this time to kiss the other. Scar hummed happily at that moving their lips together, soft, sweet, and gentle. Pulling back to stare now."Guess we are just doomed to be like this?" Grian grumbled softly to Scar, eyes casting down slightly from the others.A hand cupped his chin to lift it back up, "Doesn't have to be bad... if we both accept it." Scar said softly to him, and in a way he was right. Accepting each other made it easier. When Grian finally stopped fighting the advances and urges, it was a breath of relief...It wasn't healthy by any means, both of them agreed to that... but the more they played these games, the clear it was this was a side of them they had to accept. Grian gazed at his soulmate and gave a soft smile, "I've missed you." he admits finally and watches as the eyes light up with so much happiness. Grian let Scar hold him close, petting his wings as they sat together. "Don't leave ever again my little bird." Scar near whispered as he held Grian in a tight grip."I won't," Grian promised to him, it was a sealed fate right there, Grian wouldn't try to fly away again. It was fine though, it'd be fine... Scar smiled, "I can't wait to see my red bird again, we'll make it bloodthirsty together." he grinned at him, deranged and cold. Yet Grian found himself smiling back at that.Yeah, it would be fine.
