Alright so today Grian uploaded a video about him introducing the new game called Hot Potato, where you throw a potato at someone while they're AFK with a punishment written on it. It inspired me to write this, so here we go!

Grian's POV

Since tag has been long dead on the HermitCraft server, I decided to make a new game. Its called Hot Potato! Essentially, I'm going to throw a poisonous potato at someone while their AFK, with a random punishment on it. They have to continue the pattern and so on. 

I walk slowly in a loose circle while I think about my first victim. It has to be someone AFK, which would narrow down in the options if our server was normal. But nope! pretty much everyone is AFK today, they're all either at their cool farms, or their mob-killer machines, or just simply AFK for no reason. On a normal day I would find this incredible, I mean, I COULD PRANK SO MANY PEOPLE. I giggle to myself at the thought, then quickly shake my head to get back on topic. 

I could go for Iskall? Nah I don't want to target him too much, he'll definitely prank me back X20 worse. Hmmm.... I stop in my tracks. MUMBO

I rush over to my shulker storage pile, in search for a pen, a poisonous potato, and a book an quill. I open the book, and write quickly the rules of the game. Then I pick up the potato and scribble 'HOT POTATO' on it, then turned it around. I stare at the blank side of the slightly green and mushy potato. Its like a blank canvas, I could write anything on this. I could be as cruel as I possibly want. I chew lightly on the back of my pen, furrowing my brow. Then my face lit up as I thought of the best thing to write.

I paraded over to get my elytra and grabbed a few fireworks. I rushed off my base, and dashed through the air expertly, almost dropping the potato and book as I flew. I looked down at the ground below me, enjoying the beautiful creations by my fellow Hermits.

 In the distance I saw a giant crater in the ground, filled to the brim with massive redstone creations. Intricate designs made by the one and only Mumbo Jumbo. I can see him on the ground, standing with his eyes closed beside his witch farm. 

I landed quietly beside him, making sure to not allert him back to consciousness. Making little to no noise at all, I gently threw the book and potato at him and flew back to my base. Just like I was never there. I giggle once more, enjoying my little plan.

Mumbo's POV

I open my eyes, feeling myself drifting back to reality, as if I'd been in a deep slumber a second prior. I can feel a weight in my arms, so I hesitantly look down, my eyes still stinging a bit from the sun. A poisonous potato? And a book? I open the book quizingly, reading the messy writing in front of me.

"So, you've found yourself in the possession of a Hot Potato, what does that mean you ask? Well you came to the right book!

Basically, you have been thrown both this poisonous potato and this book while you were AFK, right? Well thats what you have to do too. But thats not all! As you can see, the potato has something written on it. Thats your punishment for being caught AFK, you have to do what the potato says, I don't make the rules. Oh wait, yes I do.

-Grian the hottest potato"

I smile at the last part, what a dork. I close the book, drawing my attention back to the 'hot potato'. On the front, if a potato has a front, it simply says 'HOT POTATO', but on the other sid-

My face flushes.

'Kiss me'

My punishment is to kiss Grian? My heart go wild as I think about it. This is HARDLY a punishment. But when do I do it? Now? Tomorrow? I suppose he didn't specify when I have to do it, and I don't even know when I was given this. It could have been days?

I grab my elytra, my hand slightly shaking. I threw myself into the air, getting anxious at whats to come. Am I actually gonna do this? I guess I have to? I really like Grian, I have liked him for a really long time. It all started at the beginning of HermitCraft. When I heard he was joining us this season, I was over the moon!

I land one leg at a time on the circle surrounding Grian's base. Then it clicked. I don't even know if he's here? For all I know he could be at the 1.14 village, adding to his incredibly brittle house which is pretty impressive. I walk into his base, looking around hoping he was here. 

"Mumbo?" I here a voice call out, followed by the sound of petit feet landing behind me.

My voice hitches, ohhhhh boy.

"H-hi man!" My voice breaks "Whats goi- oh you got my Hot potato!" He beams at me.

I walk slowly towards the smaller man, putting my right hand on his waist and my other hand on his cheek. We stood there for a few seconds, looking into each others eyes. My heart was basically beating out of my chest by now. 

"Mumbo you do know YOU have to kiss me right?" He giggles like a child, his cheeks were tinted a light rose in contrast to my deep crimson face.

I took a deep breath and closed the distance between us, our lips interlocking. Our lips moved in unison, as we part our lips and close them once more, our tongues just about touching. My body feels like its on FIRE, and I can't think about anything except Grian. His lips are so soft. I can here his voice tremble at the back of his throat as he lets a small moan escape his mouth. I shivered at the sound, breaking our kiss slowly. 

We remained close to each other, catching our breaths for several seconds afterwards. His eyes look deep into mine, his pupils fill up the majority of his beautiful blue eyes. We smile softly at each other, still in awe about what had just happened.

Sorry for the long break guys, I just haven't had much inspiration. I'm also obsessed with other things nowadays like Good Omens and The Good Place. Speaking of Good Omens, I have a few GO fanfics on my profile if y'all are interested in those bad boys.
