Grian POV

Waking up to the sun in my eyes, I looked at my watch. It was 10:30! I quickly hopped out of bed and clipped on my elytra, not bothering to check its durability.

Flying out of my base, I made the decision to go look for some more surface iron as it was very common here. As I was flying back though, my elytra broke.

Dammit

I fell down.

Down

I was about to hit the ground so I closed my eyes. But after a few moments, I wasn't dead?

I opened my eyes and saw Scar looking at me.

"Grian are you okay!?!" my boyfriend asked me, concern lacing his voice.

"Y- yeah... 'm fine," I replied.

"You just fell from 200 feet, are you actually fine?"

"Don't worry about me, you caught me so I'm fine. Anyways, how did you catch me?" I said as I stood up.

"I- luck I guess," he responded nervously.

I said bye then left, not wanting to make the situation more awkward. I knew my boyfriend wasn't telling the truth but I didn't want to pry. I went back to gathering materials for my base.

Scar POV

I let out a sigh of relief as Grian left. The real reason I caught him is because- well, I'm an elf and we have quicker reaction speeds and such. But I couldn't just tell him that. What if he stopped liking me?

I pushed those thoughts aside and went back to planning my hat shop.

Grian POV

Scar's been acting... weird. His reflexes were all of the sudden good and was way less clumsy. And for some reason he's really good at archery? I don't know. I decided to stop questioning it and enjoy our little walk.

Lost in conversation, I didn't notice the ravine until I slipped. I tripped on a twig and fell into the pit. I closed my eyes out of fear but someone caught my arm. He pulled me up and we sat there for a while catching our breath.

"Thank you," I whispered out of breath.

"Don't mention it"

Once I caught my breath, it registered what happened. In a fraction of a second, Scar had saved my life. Before I even had time to panic he had already reacted. This wasn't the first time either.

"How did you catch me?" I asked.

"Luck I guess," he responded while gripping his coat sleeve. He does this when he's nervous

"You know you can't keep using that as an excuse."

"I- uh-"

"Scar, you can talk to me," I said, trying to make him more comfortable talking.

"Well... 'm and elf," he mumbled quietly.

"Really? That's so cool!" I responded enthusiastically.

"You think?"

"Yeah! You could've told me love."

"So you're not mad?"

"I would never be mad at you," I replied as I pecked him on the lips.
