(Ok- this gets aggressively gayer at the end. I swear I did not mean to make it gay it just came out like that-)

(Please don't kill me- it's basically the Architect polyship since it's too cute for me to handle-)

(IM SORRY I GAVE IN TO TEMPTATION)

Iskall swung his legs over the bed's side he was on, rubbing a kink in his neck to try and make it go away. "How-how long were we all out?" 

Stress merely shrugged her shoulders, giving a strained facial expression as if suppressing a wince. She pulled one of her arms defensively across her chest, not making eye contact with Iskall. "Well if I remember correctly, we started our battle around 4:17pm yesterday-" 

Iskall's eye nearly popped out of his head. "We were out for a whole day?! What time is it now?" The man quickly looked around to try and find a clock. 

Stress genuinely gets startled and jumps, her eyes going wide at the sudden shock as she places a hand over her heart. She starts to laugh as Iskall throws her a look with a grin creeping on his face.

"Did I scare you?" Iskall asks, trying to stop his grinning and mild laughter to no avail.

*Cut*

The ice hero jumped ever so slightly. "It's 10:43am." 

Iskall moved his hand that was on his neck to his head, sitting up straighter. "Oh my god. Great. Fantastic." He grumbled, dragging his hand down across his face. "My sleep schedule is so fucked now." 

Stress merely shook her head. "Language, Iskall." 

Iskall threw a gesture at Stress before carefully standing up on his feet.

Stress then dramatically gasps, placing both hands over her cheeks and squishing them together to make a fish face.

Iskall immediately breaks, placing his hands on his knees and curls over in attempts of keeping his laughter in.

The camera then pans to the right where Mumbo and Doc are both waiting. The two are just cracking up.

Mumbo then speaks up. "Can we please do a different scene? These two are never going to make it!"

The room erupts in laughter.

*Cut*

Iskall had watched the other Hermits enter into the base; when Grian had entered back in, the other had immediately scanned the room in search for Iskall and Mumbo. Once his head turned fully in Iskall and Mumbo's direction, he quickly took off over to them. 

As soon as he got close to the directed cue to slide to his knees, Grian slipped and mostly stumbled over to the other two, landing on his chest next to them. "Ack!"

Iskall shut his eyes, grinning as a couple chuckles escaped from him. "Damn it Grian."

Mumbo simply hid his face more into Iskall's chest, trying to muffle the sounds of his laughter so he didn't start a laugh attack.

Grian sighed dramatically before getting up to redo the scene. "I had it, I just slipped." He announced, a couple more chuckles lifting into the air.

*Cut*

The winged man slid onto his knees over to them, tearing off his Watcher's mask to view the two with his own eyes. "Iskall! Mumbo!" He said aloud with a relief filled tone. His expression rapidly shifted as if a massive burden had just been lifted off his shoulders. "Are you both alright?" The shortest man of the three asked. 

Iskall had looked at the other hermit, giving him a defeated smile. "I'll live I guess." He glanced down at Mumbo, who had seemingly fallen asleep due to his motionless and lack of reaction when Grian came over in one of the more louder fashions. "Him… I'm not so sure." He answered truthfully. 

Upon that reply, Grian dropped his Watcher's mask to the side of him and wrapped his arms around Mumbo's waist and hugged the man from behind. Grian gently rested his head against the other hermit's back, not wanting to even think about the rest of the story. 

Mumbo squirmed at the touch, flinching and rolling up slightly. "Mgh-"

Grian opened his eyes, wrapping his arms around his partner. "Mumbee~ are you ticklish?"

Mumbo crumbled aggressively in protest while Grian nestled up against the taller hermit.

Cleo then comments from off camera. "Are the directors aware on how gay you three look right now?"

Iskall kept his head where it was. He then slowly lifted up his hand that was closest to Cleo and flicked her off without a word.

Doc, Xisuma, Stress and Cub could all be heard going "Ohhhh" and laughing in the background off camera. Along with some of the other unseen Hermit heroes that haven't been showed yet.

*Cut*

The sudden different touch of course woke Mumbo, who merely let out a few mumbles of incoherent words before they became understandable. "Mgh… hello Grian…" a couple more hushed words came out but they were all but forgotten. 

Iskall looked down at the two other heroes, smiling down at them before movement caught his attention from the upper part of his eyes. He watched as Xisuma, The Admin approached the Architect's followed by TFC and Cubfan. 

Grian seemingly sensed the three were there, since he removed himself away from Mumbo and turned to face the three others. 

"How I'd hate to break this up, but we-"

Xisuma stopped talking, blanking on his line. He lifted a hand to his head, making odd gestures with it and exasperating his next words. "We obviously forget lines to easily to remember what we want."

TFC and Cub both shake their heads, either laughing or turning away to try and prevent a laugh attack.

TFC then went and placed a hand on Xisuma's shoulder, patting his shoulder pad. "Its alright son, we all make mistakes."

Xisuma shuts his eyes from behind the visor he was wearing, placing his hands on his knees as he started to laugh a wee bit harder.

*Cut*

After another moment, Grian watched as Xisuma landed with a thud on the ground, lying on his chest.

Xisuma immediately made a gag like sound when he hit the mat, groaning in actual pain. "Agh-"

False was by his side in a flash, kneeling down by him. "Oh my lord X are you alright?!"

Xisuma merely lay on the mat unmoving. "Ghh... just leave me here to die."

False started to weakly laugh, pulling the Admin up into her arms and giving him an apologetic hug. "I'm sorry X!"

Half the room started laughing.

*Cut*

"Quit flirting and take a swing at each other!" Grian yelled, watching in amusement as Iskall's face went mildly red.

He saw Mumbo roll his eyes. "Hate you Gri!"

"Love you too, Mumbee!"

Mumbo and Grian both met eyes, Grian's eyes full of mischief and Mumbo's eyes filled with mild annoyance but amusement.

Doc then hollered off camera. "Quit actually flirting and continue the scene, damn it!"

Iskall shook his head at his friends gayness. "You guys! You promised to keep it professional!"

When the camera panned back to Grian, he was resting his chin in both palms of his hands with his elbows resting on a small platform in the audience. "Iskall, babe, you know that's almost impossible right? You know you could also join us!"

Mumbo covered his face with his hands, an obvious blush going across his face. "Cut the camera please."

*Cut*

Iskall pinned his opponent's arms down by his head, trapping them down by the wrists. He gave a smirk. "Well, first you let your guard down and second you don't taunt a stronger opponent. That's just asking for a death wish."

"Noted, oh teacher of mine." The younger said sarcastically.

From out of the camera's view, Scar shouted out. "Now Kiss!"

Immediately the set broke into laughter. Mumbo and Iskall both looked at each other before going in and doing said blooper request.

False, Stress and Cleo could all be heard belting out a wedding song at the top of their lungs, obviously memeing it.

Doc, Cub and Scar were all laughing extremely hard, even when Mumbo and Iskall both pulled away, getting up and playfully batting at each other, laughing.
