AN- So, I originally had a totally different idea for this oneshot but I ended up turning it into a ship... oops. Take this fluff anyways. Warning! There is a little bit of blood to add to the fun.

Xisuma POV-

The cool air of Grian's base was refreshing as I exited the hot summer night, landing gently in the hallway. I admired the vaulting beams that reached to the roof and I marvelled at the redstone Grian had utilized to make his storage system. I know he had used some help, but he had done most of the work himself, determined to try to understand the science behind it.

"X! Hurry up!" Ren was swooping into the entrance of Grian's mansion and he quickly pulled up to glide over array of chests. I quickly followed, jogging through the storage system. As I enter the next room, I see all the hermits already gathers in a small area Grian had decorated. Couches are scattered around a dance floor when Grian is bouncing about, Professor Beak chirping happily from where he was perched on Grian's shoulder. Etho was happily dancing with him along with Tango and Keralis. Most others were milling about, chatting or munching on the food set out.

I joined in with the partying hermits soon was enjoying watching as some of them got a little too drunk for their own good. Ren was practically thrown on top of Doc. Iskall was trying to convince a still sober Mumbo to kiss him. Grian had flopped to the dance floor's ground, panting heavily. Scar was wandering around asking if anyone wanted to play a game as Stress cried over some cake, False and Hypno trying to comfort her.

TFC had already passed out on the couch as Zed, Vintage, and Jevin had a very heated conversation about which letter was the best as Cub just stood beside them, shaking his head in confusion.

I think the most enjoyable part of watching the hermits though, was Tango, Keralis, Etho, and Impulse, the later having pulled the dancers to a nearby pool table. Tango had just beat Keralis for the third time and Keralis had resorted to throwing the balls at Tango as they ran around the table laughing. Etho an Impulse, on the other table, were playing very seriously. As seriously as you can get when you're half drunk and unable to stop your hands from shaking.

"Hey! Xisuma do you want to join in on a game of spoons?" Scar had sat down beside me on the couch, pleas evident in his eyes.

"Do you know who the biggest spoon is?" Iskall had cut in on the conversation, hilariously draped over a blushing Mumbo. He reaches up a hand and pokes Mumbo in the eye, "him."

Mumbo just shook his head in mild disappointment, then picked up the slurring Iskall and walked over to us, "I guess we'll play."

"Awesome!" Scar seemed excited and pointed to a table where some cards and spoons were placed. Mumbo staggered over towards it, placing Iskall down and sat down beside him to help hold him up. Scar turned to me, grabbing my hand and drug me the table while calling out to Grian, Zed, Joe, Cleo, and Bdubs who all came and joined us.

"Does everyone know how to play?" Scar questioned as he began expertly shuffling and dealing the cards. Everyone nodded and we began the process of passing around cards. The first person to get a group was Cleo and she hastily grabbed the first spoon. I dropped my cards and reached for the closest spoon but Zed snatched it first, sticking his tongue out at me. I quickly slapped away Grian's hand and grasp the next spoon. Iskall was trying to a spoon that just wasn't there. He's clearly seeing double at this point. Mumbo just sighed and grabbed two, handing one to the very confused Iskall. Joe and Bdubs were arguing over who grabbed the last spoon as Grian and Scar triumphantly sat with theirs.

"Ugh. That was boring." Cleo whined, lying her head on the table, "can we do something more fun?"

Grian perked up, pulling a handful of daggers from various spots on his body. We all just started at him in confusion as he pulled out seven different dagger, "oh dang, I'm short one."

"Gri? Do you usually have that many daggers on you?"

"Of course, Mumbo! Who wouldn't? But we needed eight."

"I got you guys covered." False had come over to us, laying down two more daggers, "as long as you let me play."

Bdubs looked between Grian, False, and the daggers warily, "what are we playing now?"

Grian jumped in delight Scar began dealing the cards, "Well Bdubs, we are going to play knives. Same idea as spoons, but with sharper objects."

I sigh, knowing that this is not going to turn out good, which it didn't. Luckily, I was the first to reach for a blade and I sat back as Iskall quickly grabbed one while cutting his palm on another, blood covering the blade as Scar grasped it. Bdubs tentatively grasped one near him as False reached across the table to snatch the knife from Grian. Grian yelped as the knife he was going for was pulled away from him, cutting up his arm shallowly. Joe and Mumbo both are nursing cuts on their fingers from accidently grabbing a blade instead of a handle. Cleo was staring at her hand that had lost its stitching as she protected her knife. Zed and Grian were the last ones, and as blood dripped off Grian's arm, he grabbed the handle of the last knife as Zed wrapped his fingers around Grian's. They grappled for it over the table until Zed finally slapped Grian's bloodied hand away, leaving Grian knifeless.

Even if the blood now covering the table and the pouty look on Grian's face, we were all laughing in joy.

"Okay guys. I'm cutting this off before someone dies again." xB had wandered over from his spot by the food table. He gestures to Doc who carefully peels Ren off of him and walks over, frowning.

"Knives? Again?" He just looks tired as he begins pulling out some bandages from his ender chest. He quickly wraps up Iskall's hand as it was the deepest cut. He moves to Grian and then to Mumbo, Joe, and finally Cleo, who he has to help stitch her hand to her arm.

Scar is just grinning mischievously and I raise an eyebrow at him. He stands up, placing his hands on the bloody table, "Let's place kiss or kill. It's a literal version of kiss/marry/kill."

I shook my head slightly. Scar and his ideas but most of the other hermits seemed really excited so I followed them to the couches. The hermits who didn't want to play decided to leave as it was getting extremely late. That left me, a loopy Ren, Keralis, a much too excited Scar, Grian, Doc, Cleo, a bored Etho, Joe, Mumbo, who was still trying to prevent a drunk Iskall from flirting with him. Cub, had joined our group as well as a still teary Stress, Tango, Bdubs, and Impulse.

Scar quickly explained the rules as we all set out spawn in a bed Grian had popped down nearby, "A person is given two people and then we flip a coin. If it lands on heads person 1 has to choose one of the people to kiss. If it lands on tails, they have to pick someone to kill."

We all nod out heads as Scar says he'll start, asking for two names. Cub jumps at the opportunity, "Grian and Xisuma!" I feel my heart beat increase as I watch Scar flip the coin. It flips a couple times before Scar nimbly snatches it from the arm and places it on the back of his hand. He takes a quickly look then begins to saunter towards Grian, lightly liking his lips. I relax, enjoying the scene as Grian begins to blush. Scar lightly sits down on him, stroking his face and just as Scar leans in, Grian gasps and disappears as Scar turns around holding the bloody dagger he had gained from the game of knives, fresh blood dripping from it.

Grian gasps up from the bed, glaring daggers at Scar, "Tha- that was just- just rude." He jumps out of the bed and heads to sit back down before Scar grabs his hand and pulls him into an actual kiss. Grian steps away clearly flustered but grinning from ear to ear.

"I want to go next!" Iskall had staggered to his feet as Mumbo finally relaxes into the couch.

Grian looks between the two, "I say we give Iskall the names of Mumbo and Cub." Mumbo tensed up as Cub rubbed his shoulder. It was obvious which way this would go depending on the coin. Iskall would kiss Mumbo, his now not so obvious crush, and kill Cub, one of the owners of ConCorp. Iskall nods, flipping the coin up and, unable to catch it, glances at the ground before quickly walking up to Cub and cleanly kills him. He turns, clearly disappointed but Mumbo had sunk into the couch as he nerves left him.

The game continued as Cleo kissed Stress. Stress broke down crying when she had to choose between killing Tango and Ren, before finally killing Tango. Etho didn't hesitate to kill both Joe and Doc, making them both protest as he had gone against the rules. On Mumbo's turn, he was given Iskall and Grian and ended up having to kiss Iskall. He clearly seemed to enjoy it but had to hold the intoxicated Iskall away as he begged for more. Joe had to kill me as he refused to kill Cleo but luckily, he made it quick. Ren ended up killing Doc in a similar way to Scar and Grian but this time, Doc just looked relieved that he wasn't force to kiss his drunk friend. Impulse went next and didn't hesitate to kiss Tango when given the choice between him and Etho.

Then it was my turn and I was given Bdubs and Keralis. I didn't want either head nor tails. How was I supposed to kill one of my best friends, even if I was a game. The other option wasn't much better. My heart had been torn since they had rejoined Hermitcraft 6. I wanted both of them. I hesitantly flip the coin and watch as it falls on the side, slightly spinning before settling on heads. I'll have to kiss one of my best friends and I have to choose between both of my crushes.

Maybe I could just pull an Etho and kiss them both? What would everyone think? What would Keralis and Bdubs think?

I had been staring at the coin for long enough that Scar had come up beside me, set his hand on my shoulder so he could peek at the coin. I look at him and he smiles at me as panic makes me shake.

"Go for it X," Scar whispered in my ear and I nod uncomfortably. I walk slowly towards where Keralis and Bdubs were cuddling on a couch. I crouch down in front of them as I slip my helmet off. I watch as Bdubs and Keralis both look up in excitement, then at each other with... was that jealousy? I sigh. There's no way either of them liked me, let alone both of them.

I gulp down the bubbling fear and lean towards Keralis, grabbing his chin to pull him to me. He gasped lightly, quickly scanning my hands, clearly worried about a sneak attack, then leaned all the way to me. He was the one to make contact, surprising me as my eyes widened before I lightly close them. Once I pulled away, I study Keralis who seemed to be on cloud 9. I look sideway as Bdubs as I release Keralis' chin. He was clearly trying to hold back tears. Did he really want to kiss me that bad?

Butterflies sprouted in my stomach once more as I finally decide to do it. I shift to the side as I reach to Bdub's cheek. He looked at me in confusion so I smile softly at him. I hear everyone egging me on but I can only focus on him. He leans in to kiss me and I smile into it. When he pulls away, I glance at Keralis who beamed of excitement.

I stay kneeling in front of them as I hear the other hermits hollering in excitement at my bold actions. I finally stand up, picking Keralis off the couch and I sit beside Bdubs, Keralis on my lap. Keralis leans into my chest as Bdubs leans against my shoulder. We say nothing as we enjoy watching the hermits continue their little game, just reveling in the feel of each other.

Bdubs finally looks up at me, "Xisuma?"

"Hmm?"

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

I glance to Keralis, who had fallen asleep, still clinging to my armour. I look back at Bdubs, hearing Etho panic from having just been kissed by Stress, "Yes. I will Bdubs, but I'd love to date Keralis too..."

Bdubs nods once, "I don't think I could imaginebeing in a relationship without our Kerry."
