Chapter Text

Phil let out hummed tune as carefully grabbed the freshly baked cookies from the oven. The kids had done their chores so as a treat he decided to make them some cookies.

After letting them cool down for a bit, he transfered them into a plate and placed them on the table to cool down some more.

They were currently in the main hub, doing some errands. Phil let out a content sigh, soaking in all the peace and quiet that rarely occured in their house.

"PHIL! WE'RE BAAACK!" 

Phil visualized the peace and quiet hopping right out the window.

Tommy strutted in with a broad grin. Techno and Wilbur following close behind, holding bags on both hands.

"Hi, did you get the stuff?" He asked as he carefully placed the cookies in a plate.

"Yep! Oooh, cookies" Techno placed the bags on the counter before grabbing a cookie. At the mention of cookies Tommy, who went to the living room, immediately dashed over, bumping into Wilbur in the process.

Tommy reached over for a cookie but was pulled back by Wilbur, he let out a strangled noise as Wilbur smugly grabbed a cookie.

"THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR YOU BALDING PRICK!?" Tommy screeched after regaining his posture, Wilbur frowned at him.

"Ok first of all, I'm not balding. Second, you bumped into me first" Tommy scoffed and  grabbed a cookie, before looking at Wilbur, more specifically at his hairline.

He let a pity 'tsk' before patting Wilbur on the back solemnly "So sorry for your loss.."

Wilbur sputtered out a bunch of incomprehensible noised before Techno cut him off "Tommy, leave him alone" Wilbur gave his twin a thankful look "Than-" "He's in denial, let him grieve in peace" Techno smirked as Wilbur's face grew frustrated and Tommy's face into a triumph one.

"I AM NOT GOING BALD!" Wilbur screamed out frustrated "It's okay Wil, We're here for you" Tommy nodded along to his older brother's words while his othee older brother let out frustrated noises.

"I'm not!- Dadza! They're bullying me!" Wilbur whined to Phil who had just finished putting away the groceries.

"Boys" he warned "Stop telling Wil he's balding" Techno muttered a small 'sorry dad' while Tommy let out a huff, looking away with a pout.

Wilbur grinned triumphly "So, anything interestin' happened while you went out?" Philza asked, joining his sons on the table and grabbing a cookie for himself.

"Not much on my part, nearly got mugged but he was too scared of my big man-ness" Tommy boasted, puffing out his chest. Wilbur rolled his eyes at the statement while Techno muttered something about Big man-ness not being a real word.

"Same for me, nothin' too interesting, i saw a cool looking ring but when i came back for it it was already gone" Wilbur remembered the golden ring that had a ruby embedded in it, It looked pretty expensive.

"Uhh let's see, oh! Hey wil guess what" Techno started staring at his twin, a sly smirk plastered on his face. Wilbur looked at his twin warily, "What?" 

"Guess who came across Grian" as if scripted, Wilbur choked on his cookie before abruptly slamming his hands on the tabel "WHAT" He exclaimed in shock.

Techno gave a satisfied smirk at the reaction before recounting the events that occured during his small trip

__

Techno stopped at a stall, looking over the potatoes, trying to find a good quality. He put the acceptable ones in his basket as he continued to scan over the other potatoes.

Suddenly, the shop keeper in the next stall pointed an accusatory finger at him "YOU!" Techno, startled by the sudden noise, looked up at the old man before looking around and pointing to himself "Me?" 

"Yes you! You're the one who stole my bread yesterday weren't you!" It was more of a statement rather than a question. Technoblade was 99% sure that he did not steal any form of bread yesterday.

"Uh-" "Don't even try to lie! Thief! I caught you! Now pay for the bread!" The shopkeeper exclaimed, walking over to him.

Now as most people know, Techno was an amazing fighter although he is a socially awkward person to the 5th degree.

Techno could feel eyes on him as people stopped and looked over to see what the commotion was about, he wanted nothing more than to exit the conversation right now.

"I did not steal-" "Oh don't even think about it! Pay me now or else!" The shopkeeper didn't even give him a chance to defend himswlf! Bruhhhh.

"Look i didn't steal your bread" He tried to say, exasperated by the whole situation.

"I'm sorry, is there a problem here?" A new voice spoke up beside him, grabbing both the shopkeeper and Techno's attention.

Techno's eyes slightly widened once he saw who was beside him. 

Grian stood beside Techno, he was wearing his usual red sweater both sleeves rolled up to his elbows with black fingerless glove. He also seemed to be wearing a black turtleneck.

As for his lowerhalf, he wore a dark gray cargo pants accomanied by black combat boots.

He had a dark brown satchel slung over his shoulders, a pair of goggles resting on his head. Oh and the big parrot wings that were currently folded on his back.

"This thief stole my bread!" Oh right, the angry shopkeeper was still there. And he was still accusing Techno for stealing bread.

Techno sighed "For the last time, i did not steal your bread, i didn't even come here yesterday!" Both of them noticed the shopkeeper freeze for a moment "I- y-yes you did! I saw you-"

"Ray! What on earth are you doing!?" A new voice boomed, the 'shopkeeper' visibly paled as a older woman approached them.

"Mother! I- i can explain-" "Goodmorning ma'am" Grian interrupted the sweating 'shopkeeper' "Oh my! Aren't you Grian?" The lady asked, suprise and a small sense of admiration tinting her voice.

"Yep! That's me" She looked very excited to meet him and honestly, Techno couldn't blame her. "It is an honor to meet you! I'm a big fan!" Grian gave a small laugh at this.

"Now," She turned to his son "What happened?" The three of them watched the boy struggled to compose himself.

"W-well i was just trying to tell this thief to return the bread he stole yesterday!" Techno could smell the lie a mile away, but before he could jump in to defend himself.

"With all due respect, miss, but my friend over here did not steal the bread. He was not here yesterday" Grian calmly explained, stepping forward a bit.

The woman sighed as she hit the boy in the back "You idiot, we weren't selling bread yesterday. Stop trying to scam people." The boy looked away shamefully.

The woman looked back at them, sending them an apologetic glance. "Forgive us for the misunderstanding, my boy here can be a bit of a troublemaker." 

Techno and Grian glanced at each other. "It's uh it's fine" Techno mumbled, still very much anti-social. "Please take this as a token of our apology" She held out a bag of golden carrots.

Before Techno could refuse she spoke up again. "Please, it will help me sleep better at night" Techno hesitated before sighing.

"Alright" The woman beamed at him before shoving the carrots into his arms "If you'll excuse us, i have to talk to my son over here. It was wonderful meeting you Mr.Grian i apologize again" She grabbed her sons hand and fled.

"That was....interesting" Grian lightheartedly said before turning to Techno "Sorry for suddenly interfering, you looked like you needed a bit of help" 

"Uh, thanks for that by the way, and don- no need to apologize. I owe you one" He looked down at the avian.

"Don't worry about it, well i have to go now, try not to get scammed again okay?" He let out a small giggle "I'll try" 

Both of them could hear a distant yell of "Grian" in the background. "Oops- forgot about them" He grinned sheepishly.

"Wait- before you go, can you sign this? My brother's a big fan" He grabbed a book from his inventory "It's his- well our- birthday next week and this would make him pretty happy" 

Grian took the book and quill "Really? Well advanced happy birthday to you both" He quickly scribbled down something on the first page before giving it back to Techno.

"Well i'll be off now, cya!" He gave them a grin before running over to a tall black haired man wearing a suit and a mustache and a brown haired man with a prostetic eye.

"Techno!" Techno turned and saw Wilbur and Tommy approaching him "Let's go, bitch!" Techno turned back to look over at Grian but he, along with his companions, had already dissapeared.

"Yeah yeah, let's get going already" He turned back to the loud blonde.

"Say Techno, where did you get the bag of golden carrots from?"

Chapter Text

They all stared at Techno as he finished recounting the events that had happened.

"OH MY FUCKING GOD- NO WAY THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED" Wilbur exclaimed, slamming his hands on the table as he stared at Techno with his mouth open.

Techno shrugged, grabbing a book from his inventory "I guess i'll just throw this out then" He  let out a (fake) sad sigh.

"NONONO WAIT" Techno smirked at this. Man does he love teasing his twin. "GIMME THAT!" Wilbur reached forward trying to swipe the book from Techno.

"Wait- Hold on, Techno you nearly got scammed?" Phil asked, his brain still processing what his son had just told them.

"Yes- Wil stop- Dad control your balding son" Techno huffed as he kept dodging Wilbur's grubby hands. Wilbur on the other hand paused at this "Stop saying I'm balding, My hair is perfectly fine." He frowned.

"Alright alright both of you calm down. Wil sit down, Techno stop teasing your brother, and Tommy stop trying to steal all the cookies" The two brothers paused and looked at Tommy, who was currently trying to shove as many cookies as he can in his bag.

"HEY! LEAVE SOME FOR US"

--

After his sons had finally settled down, Phil had put another batch of cookies in the oven and was now waiting for it to bake.

"What do i have to do to get the book" Ah, so now they were negotiating.

"Hmmmm, throw away all of your beanies"  He deadpanned, secretly enjoying the flash of horror that overcame Wilbur's face.

"You know I can't do that! I'd rather do your chores for a month!" Wilbur basically pleaded, Techno pondered for a bit.

"Deal." Wilbur's face visibly brightened "Also i was already planning on giving this to you" Techno grinned, handing his brother the book. Though he must've not heard him (or chose not to) because his excited expression didn't change.

He quickly opened the book and lo and behold was Grian's writing. It read: Happy Birthday :D -Grian.

"Wilbur Sewt do you like Groin??" Tommy questioned, purposely butchering the man's name. Wilbur rolled his eyes at his younger brother's antics "Yes he is very cool Tommy Aint it" Tommy squinted his eyes at Wilbur "I agree with you Baldbur Soot" Phil sighed.

As the two boys bickered in the background, Phil thought about what Techno had told them. Grian? He hadn't heard that name in a long time

"Gri! Get back here you-" a child's laughter rang out through the air "Catch me first!"

"Gri! Gri where are you!? GRIAN!" A blonde boy watched as his home, his village burned to the ground. His brother nowhere in sight.

"Phil?" Techno's voice broke him out of his trance, he looked over to his sons looking at him with worried glances "You good there big P?" Tommy asked, briefly glancing at Wilbur.

"Huh? Oh yeah- sorry i got side tracked there. Anyways, Wil tell me about Grian. You seem to quite like him" Phil smiled at his piglin son who beamed at the chance to ramble about his idol(?).

"Oh boy, here we go" Techno sighed, mentally preparing himself for the upcoming ramble of a certain avian.

-

Phil listened as his son rambled about Grian. Apparently Grian had started two civil wars, is one of the richest hermit, has a running gag of being a bread, TURNED himsself into a bread, Became a mother spore, and so much more.

Phil let a small smile creep onto his face as his son excitedly talks about Grian, his other two brothers piping in here and there. It seems that the twins are more into Grian rather than their youngest who claims that Mumbo Jumbo is the "Poggest man alive" and is "More Phil than Phil". Which earned a offended "What" from the man.

"Oh and Phil get this, they settled the war through MINIGAMES like" Wilbur made a bunch of hand gestures that basically screamed "wtf???? Like what???? What to the nth degree???"

Phil let out a small laugh at this "Oh! Didn't Grian also kill Dream before?" Wilbur looked over to his twin for confirmation "Yeah, like 3-4 times I'm pretty sure" Tommy nodded along his brothers  "That was very impressive and cool of Grine if i do say so myself"

Phul blinked, back when they were younger Grian was more interested in building stuff rather than PvP stuff while Phil used to be more interested on PvP stuff rather than building stuff. Tho he stopped after a while and decided to do building for a bit.

"Come on Gri, it'll be a quick spar" A child huffed at his older brother's words "Fine, but only if you help me build my tower" "Deal!"

Dream was one of the best PvPers he's ever known, (Techno will always be THE BEST PvPer in Phil's eyes, but then again he's biased)  so it was pretty impressive that Grian manages to get him more than once.

"Yeah, it was considering Grian is more known as a builder than a fighter" Wilbur commented, biting into another piece of cookies. Phil let a small sad smile rest onto his face as he stared at the tea (which he made during Wilbur's rant)  in his hands.

"So that's what he's been doing these days.." Techno noticed the slight dampness in Phil's attitude "Oh? Do you know him Phil?"

Phil paused, Fuck- they don't know that he's their uncle.

"I'd be suprised if he didn't after your rant" Techno rolled his eyes at his twin who scoffed offendedly "Don't act like you didn't butt in during my 'rant' Mr.Techno Clout Chasing Blade" Wilbur bit back at his twin.

Tommy watched his older brothers start to bicker as he calmly drank his coke. He had decided that today was a quiet day for him thank you very much.

Though the bickering was short lived as Phil interrupted the two "So uh, there's something i haven't told you yet" he started, looking at the three of them.

His sons turned silent after sensing the seriousness that came with Phil's soft voice. Techno motioned for his dad to continue.

"Well first off, you have an uncle" He watched as his son's expression turned to shock before Techno squinted at him.

"Okay.....what does this have to do with-" Techno cut himself off, his eyes widening as he realized what Phil was implying.

Phil sucked in a breath through his teeth, smiling sheepishly at his sons.

"Grian is your uncle, uh.. surprise..?"

Chapter Text

" Phil where are we going?" A strawberry blonde boy asked his older brother who was currently dragging him through the woods. Phil smiled at his younger sibling "Just wait! We're almost there, and besides it wouldn't be a surprise if i told you now would it?" The child let out a small squeal of laughter as he dodged an attempted tickle.

The two finally arrived at their destination. It was a clearing in the woods with a massive Angel oak tree in the middle, Surrounded by flowers the view had looked absolutely magical. There was also a swing hanging from one of the branches and a picnic blanket laid out on the ground under the shade of the tree.

"Happy birthday!" Phil exclaimed happily as his brother gaped at the sight "Woaaaah! Phil this is so pretty!" The blonde was in awe at the sheer beauty of the place "Thank you! This is amazing!" Phil giggled as the blonde tackled him into a hug

"Anything for you Grian"

"WHAT!?" WIlbur grabbed Phil by the shoulders and shook him rapidly at the news. Phil had tried to explain but Wilbur was still very much shaking him violently so he only managed to get out random sputters of words.

"PHILZA MINECRAFT WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT GROIN, THE GRINE, IS OUR UNCLE- WHAT THE FUCK-" Tommy exclaimed standing up and slamming his hands on the table. He let out a bunch of unintelligible sputters.

Yeah he really shouldn't have bombed dropped the news like this. Phil was starting to regret a lot of things.

"EXPLAIN- PHIL I DEMAND- I WANT AN EXPLAINATION AND I WANT IT NOW!!" Wilbur screeched as he shook Phil some more. "Wil- stop-" He tried to say but ultimately failing.

"Wil- stop shaking him and let him explain!" Techno huffed. While he too is very shocked by the news, he has his emotions more in control. Of course, he still wants some answers and he won't get it if his idiot of a twin keeps shaking their dad.

Wilbur eventually stops after realizing that Phil can't explain if he kept on shaking the man violently.

Phil took a deep breathe as he composed himself, he looked up and saw the other 3 staring at him expectantly.

"Alright, alright." He sighed, the others tensed a bit, but after he didnt say anything afterwards they took it as an invitation to start talking.

"First of all, Why have you only told us NOW that we have an uncle??" Techno decided to take the lead, not trusting Wilbur to not go on another rampage.

"Well, we haven't seen eachother in years so i thought we weren't going to ever bring him up" Phil flashed them a somewhat sad smile.

It was true, it had been so long since Phil and Grian was separated against their will. Don't get him wrong, he missed his brother dearly but he couldn't not continue with his life. Grian would've talked his ears off if he found out that his brother spent his time moping around instead of getting his shit together.

"Are you sure that we're talking about the same Grian??" Tommy squinted at his father. Honestly, you couldn't blame him, it's not everyday you find out that your related to a very famous person.

"Yes, i'm pretty sure-" an idea passed through Phil's head. He stood up from his seat and after telling his sons to give him a moment he wandered to the attic of their house.

The attic was dusty and filled with extra storage, there was a bunch of cobwebs everywhere and boxes littered the place. He approached a specific box that was covered by a white cloth, he opened the box and grabbed a smaller box from the inside.

He  blew off the dust that was layering the cover of the box and written there was

P̶e̶e̶l̶ Phil and Grᶦan! Do not touch!!

He smiled upon seeing the familiar handwriting and the nostalgic typos made by a 5 year old Phil.

He brought the box down with him and rejoined his sons on the dining table.

When he arrived, Wil and Tommy had been bickering while Techno piped in here and there.

"Shut up you dumb child-" Tommy frowned at this "I AM NOT A CHILD YOU BITCH!!" Techno snorted at the statement "Technically you are a child" Wilbur laughed at this while Tommy started cussing Techno out.

"Boys-" Phil fondly sighed at his sons "Alright, cut it out now" Phil placed the box on the table catching the the trios attention.

"What's that?" Tommy asked, eyeing the box curiously, wondering where it came from.

Phil didn't say anything as he opened the box, inside the box was a slightly worn out leather book and a necklace sitting on top of it.

"To answer your first question, i am 100% sure we're talking about the same Grian, and as proof i have this." He grabbed the necklace and let it dangle from his hand.

It was a circular ruby gem, pendant? with a big G engraved in the middle of it.

"A necklace?" Technoblade muttered, confused on how exactly a necklace can prove that Grian is their uncle.

"Yep! It works similarly to a compass, it points to another necklace, the one that i gave Grian" Phil chirped as he held the pendant in his hands.

"Oh like Tommy and Tubbo's compass?" Phil nodded at this.

"Yeah! Though its enchantment works a bit more differently" Phil smile turned into a sad one as he rubbed a thumb over the gem "It only responds to the two of us, unlike Tommy's compass" He explained.

The three sons looked at each other, their father had looked so glum.

"Wait so can we see him then?" Techno chimed in, Wilbur visibly brightened at this "WAIT OH MY- PHIL CAN WE!? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE" Wilbur begged, his eyes pleading.

"I don't know..." Phil rubbed the back of his neck as he thought it over.

Wilbur pouted at his father's hesitance, he then turned to the youngest brother.

"Tommy! Use puppy eyes!" Immediately Tommy turned to Phil donning his best puppy face.

Wilbur noticed Phil faltering, so far its working.

"Mate, I-"

"Techno! Use begging!"

"Wil, mate, stop treating your brothers like a pokemon"

"Phiiil, pleaaaaaase?"

"Come on Phil, are you really gonna deny me and Techno's pleas AND Tommy's puppy eyes!?"
.
.
.
.
"Fine you win this time"

"YES WHOOOOOO"
"YAY LETS GOOOO"
"Nice"

Chapter Text

Grian walked around with Iskall and Mumbo, the three of them decided to go to the beach next week (because Mumbo was gonna be busy tommorrow) so they went ahead and bought stuff for the trip.

At some point, the three of them split up so they could finish sooner. Grian was choosing some pastries for Mumbo and Iskall when he noticed a commotion brewing.

He looked over and saw a vaugely familiar pink haired piglin, donning a red cape and golden crown. It seems like he was being accused of stealing bread. (Grian silently giggled at the reference to an inside joke)

He frowned as the shopkeeper mentioned the pinkette stealing a bread that was on display yesterday, he visited here yesterday and that stall was most definitely not selling bread. He pitied the uncomfortable pinkette and decided to go help out.

"I'm sorry is there a problem here?" He asked, the two immediately looked over to him. He noticed the pinkette's eyes widened before going back to his monotone expression. 

"This thief stole my bread!" The shopkeeper angrily accused once more. Grian felt the pinkette sigh next to him.

"For the last time, I did not steal your bread, I didn't even come here yesterday!" He huffed out annoyed, Grian eyed the shopkeeper suspiciously when he froze.

"I- y-yes you did! I saw you-" he started but got cut off by another voice "Ray! What on earth are you doing!?" An older woman approached them causing 'Ray' to visibly pale.

"Mother! I- i can explain-" Oh heck nah "Goodmorning ma'am" Grian interrupted, he felt the 'shopkeeper' shoot him a quick glare.

A flash of realization donned on the woman's face "Oh my! Aren't you Grian?" She asked surprised.

"Yep! That's me" Grian beamed at the lady who visibly brightened at the confirmation.

"It is an honor to meet you! I'm a big fan!" She exclaimed, Grian gave a small laugh at the enthusiasm. It's always so pleasant to meet fans, granted the situation right now is not so pleasant.

"Now," She turned to the shopkeeper "What happened?" Grian raised a amused brow as the boy tried to compose himself.

"W-well I was just trying to tell this thief to return the bread he stole yesterday!"

Grian is surprised this man still has the audacity to lie "With all due respect miss," he started "but my friend over here did not steal the bread. He was not here yesterday" He explained, subconsciously stepping forward.

He stared in surprise as the woman hit the back of the boy's head "You idiot, we weren't selling bread yesterday. Stop trying to scam people." Not gonna lie, Grian expected the woman to jump to defend her son.

The woman sent them an apologetic glance "Forgive us for the misunderdtanding, my boy here can be a bit of a troublemaker" 

Grian glanced at the pinkette who met his gaze "It's uh it's fine" he mumbled, he looked very uncomfortable.

"Please take this as a token of our apology" She held out a bag of golden carrots.

As if sensing that the pinkette was going to refuse, she quickly added "Please, it will help me sleep better at night." Grian watched the pinkette hesitate before he sighed "Alright." He reluctantly agreed.

The woman grinned and shoved the carrots into his arms and excusing her and her son.

"That was....interesting" Grian said lightheartedly before turning to the pinkette "Sorry for suddenly interfering, you looked like you needed a bit of help" he laughed a bit.

"Uh, thanks for that by the way, and don- no need to apologize. I owe you one" Grian internally frowned when he realized that the man was looking DOWN at him. Why are people so freakishly tall!?

"Don't worry about it, well i have to go now, try not to get scammed again okay?" He giggled out, the pinkette gave him an exasperated look "I'll try."

"Grian!" He jumped at the sudden voice, oh god- he totally forgot about them "Oops- forgot about them" he grinned sheepishly. As he was about to leave the pinkette stopped him.

"Wait- before you go, can you sign this? My brother's a big fan" He pulled out a journal from his inventory "It's his- well our- birthday next week and this would make him pretty happy" Ah, no wonder why he was surprised when Grian suddenly stepped in.

He took the journal alongside the quill "Really? Well advanced happy birthday to you both" He squibbled down "Happy birthday -Grian" he paused before adding a ":D" at the bottom. Satisfied, he gave the book back to the pinkette.

"Well I'll be off now, cya!" He grinned at him before running over to Mumbo and Iskall who was waiting for him. Iskall seemed to have a disbelieving look on his face.

"Yo! Sorry i took a bit, something came up" he sheepishly grinned, Iskall shot Grian a look which in return Grian gave him a confused one back.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do i have something on my face?" Grian wiped his cheek wondering if he did somehow get a stain on his face.

"No- dude do you know who you were just talking to?" Iskall asked bewildered, Mumbo and Grian shared confused looks.

"Uh actually let's um- let's go to the cafe, we're literally blocking the way" Mumbo intervened when he felt someone bump into him slightly.

It was then that the other two realized that they were infact standing in the middle of the road. Iskall sighed "fine, but you are so telling me what the heck happened"

"Of course" Grian giggled.

-

"Wait so you're telling me you saved him???" Iskall asked the blonde who had just finished reccounting the events.

"From getting scammed, yes" Grian took a sip from his tea. Mumbo let out a hum at this.

"Ok so- the person who you literally rescued from gettin scammed is actually Technoblade" Iskall explained to the two brits.

Mumbo snapped his fingers as if he suddenly had an epiphany "Technoblade! Isn't that the guy who defeated that person Grian killed? Drain was it?"

"Dream" Iskall corrected "And yes, He defeated him during the Mr.Beast duel. I'm surprised you know about that Mumbo" Mumbo sheepishly laughed at this

"Yeah, i overheard some people who were talking about the Grian-killing-Dream moment and someone mentioned this Technoblade guy" He explained whilst taking a bite out of his redstone flavored souffle (Which earned a disgusted look from Grian)

"Huh, that's cool" Grian mumbled, was this why he felt the pinkette- Technoblade had seemed familiar. 

As Iskall and Mumbo started rambling about redstone stuff, he frowned, Why does he remind me of him? Grian subconsciously touched his pendant. He could feel the slight hum of magic coming from the necklace.

He shook his head lightly, who am i kidding, it's probably nothing.

"G? You good? You look a bit zoned out there" Mumbo asked concerned at the distant look on his friends face.

"Huh? Oh sorry, i just got bored of you guys talking about magic stuff" Grian laughed while Iskall huffed at this.

"It's not magic, it's just redstone" Mumbo laughed at the slight frustration that was evident on the swede's voice.

The three continued their light hearted banter, unaware of the family who is about to find out that one of them is their uncle.

-

"Achoo!" Grian sneezed for the 10th time that afternoon.

"You good Grian?" Mumbo asked as he paused his packing. Grian sniffled "Yeah I'm good, just a little sneeze" he gave him a thumbs up.

"Someone must be talking about you" Scar supplied as he helped Grian pack, this earned a scoff from the man.

"Who could be talking about me this much?" Grian laughed.

Chapter Text

Its now been a week after the grand reveal and the four had just finished packing.

Phil opened the box containing the necklace, the very same necklace that was going to lead him to his brother.

Phil was not going to lie, he was very nervous.

Don't get him wrong, he would love to see his brother again but it's been so long since he saw the strawberry blonde.

And after the incident Phil has had thoughts of his brother hating him for leaving him behind.

He grabbed the necklace, letting it dangle a bit.

"Phil?" Phil looked over and saw Tommy peeking over "Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, do you need anything?" Phil put the necklace down as he fully turned to face his youngest.

"Not really, I was just wondering" Tommy entered the kitchen and made a bee line to the water dispenser.

"About?" Phil tilted his head at his youngest, who seemed to hesitate for a moment.

"Uh, how exactly did you and Grian like.." Tommy made a seperating motion. Ah, well one of them were bound to ask one way or another.

"Oh, well-" Phil got cut off by a knock by the doorframe. He and Tommy looked over and saw both Wilbur and Techno.

"What are you guys talking about?" Wilbur asked "Phil's about to tell me his villain back story go away" Tommy made a 'shoo' motion at the two.

Phil snorted at this "I was just about to explain to Tommy here, how me and Grian got seperated" Wilbur and Techno perked up at this. "Ooooh, Do tell, I'm curious now."

Phil smiled at his sons before he started to recount the events that managed to seperate the two young avians.

~~ 

Phil hummed as he hung up his and Grian's laundry.

"Phil?" A voice called, Phil turned around and saw his little brother peeking from the doorframe.

"Do you need help?" Grian asked as he apprached Phil. Phil ruffled his hair in return "Sure" Grian huffed at him for messing with his hair.

As the two were hanging the laundry in comfortable silence, Grian spoke up.

"Hey, um" He started "The elder told me to tell you that you and the others are supposed to go hunting today" Phil let out a small hum.

"Is that so? Well, let's hurry with this then" Phil picked up his speed slightly before pausing when he realized Grian was unmoving.

He nudged him, grabbing his attention "You alright mate?" He asked the younger, concerned.

"It's," Grian hesitated "It's just- I feel like something bad is going to happen" He mumbled quietly but loud enough for Phil to hear.

Phil noticed Grian gripping the shirt on his hands tightly. He frowned for a second before grabbing Grian's hands and putting it in between his.

"Grian" Grian looked a bit surprised by Phil's actions "I promise you, nothing bad is going to happen okay? I'll be alright and you'll be alright." He reassured him, Grian's tense shoulders finally loosened up a bit.

"Okay?" He asked again, Grian nodded at this "Okay."

__

Seven avians gathered at the entrance of their village, one of them being Phil.

"Alright, I'm gonna go now, don't do anything stupid" Grian laughed at this "How can I when you're taking all of the stupidity?"

Phil smiled, ruffling the younger's hair.

And then Phil left with the other avians, missing the scared look Grian donned.

__

Phil ran so fast, using his wings as boost. They had received a message from a crow that the village was under attack.

Phil's heart was beating so fast, his kind running way faster than him.

"Its just- I feel like something bad is going to happen"

Oh god, why didn't he listen to him!?

Phil skidded to a stop in front of the village, his eyes widened, his heart stopped as he took in the sight in front of him.

The village, it was absolutely destroyed, the gate was torn down, the houses were on fire, there were explosion holes everywhere.

He snapped out of his daze and ran inside "Grian!?" He called out runnkng through his home.

"Hello!? " He dodged a falling post.

"Gri!" He reached the center of the village.

"Gri!" He takes a turn towards their house.

"Where are you!?" He bursts inside the house looking for his brother.

He searches and searches but finds nothing, no one.

"GRIAN!" He calls out desperate for a response. He runs back out, searching through the entire village, he arrives at the communtity house.

And he calls, he calls for anyone, for everyone.

But no one answers his call.

~~

The three youngsters are shocked to say the least, After their father had told them of what happened.

"And then I left, I looked for him of course but," Phil's smile falters "years passed and I never found him."

"Well," Tommy started, gathering everyone's attention. "It's a damn good thing that Techno nearly got scammed then," Techno let out an offended huff at this 

"Cause' now" Tommy walks over to Phil, patting his back "Now you get to see him again! So turn that frown upside down!" He grins at Phil.

Wilbur snorts at this, shaking his head "The child is right, old man," "I'm not that old-" "this is going to be the family reunion of the century!" Wilbur swings his arm around Tommy's shoulders.

"Trueee, man I can't wait to see Dream's face when I tell him all about this," Techno smirks "Ohoho, that green teletubby is gonna be so shocked" Techno monotonely laughed, imagining the sheer look of shock on Dream's face when he meets Techno's newly-found-out uncle.

"It's gonna be a sight to see truly" Phil laughed out.

"Well then, what are we hanging arounf for? Let's get going!" Tommy cheers, the others cheering in agreement aswell.

Meanwhile

"G! Let's go already!" Mumbo calls out, Grian rolls his eyes lightheartedly.

"Alright, alright! I'm coming!" He grabs his bags and heads downstairs to where Mumbo and Iskall were waiting for him.

"Jeez, you take forever to get ready" Iskall huffed out, Grian playfully punches his shoulder in response "Yeah, yeah." 

The three head out of Grian's house together, meeting Scar and Pearl at the front.

"Bring me souveneirs, alright?" Scar laughs out, placing Jellie down on the ground.

"Ooh, if you're bringing Scar souveneirs, bring me some aswell please" Pearl added.

"Yes yes, and I'll buy you souveneirs, using Mumbo's money of course" Grian grinned, Mumbo let out a sputter of shock.

"My money!? You're literally richer than me!" He stares at Grian in disbelief.

"Yeah, well you're the CEO though" Grian mischieviously smirks as Iskall puts a hand on Mumbo's shoulder.

"He's got you there" Iskall grins mischieviously while Mumbo lets out mumbles of defeat.

"Take care of my house for me, yeah? Don't do anything stupid" he points at Scar in a lighthearted manner.

Scar rolls his eyes "How can I when you're taking all the stupid with you?" Grian falters for a moment, his eyes widening. He pauses for a moment before snapping out of his daze.

"Haha very funny Scar" Scar sticks his tounge out in reconcilation.

"Anyways, we best be going, this vacation isn't gonna enjoy itself!"

And with that the three depIts now been a week after the grand reveal and the four had just finished packing.

Phil opened the box containing the necklace, the very same necklace that was going to lead him to his brother.

Phil was not going to lie, he was very nervous.

Don't get him wrong, he would love to see his brother again but it's been so long since he saw the strawberry blonde.

And after the incident Phil has had thoughts of his brother hating him for leaving him behind.

He grabbed the necklace, letting it dangle a bit.

"Phil?" Phil looked over and saw Tommy peeking over "Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, do you need anything?" Phil put the necklace down as he fully turned to face his youngest.

"Not really, I was just wondering" Tommy entered the kitchen and made a bee line to the water dispenser.

"About?" Phil tilted his head at his youngest, who seemed to hesitate for a moment.

"Uh, how exactly did you and Grian like.." Tommy made a seperating motion. Ah, well one of them were bound to ask one way or another.

"Oh, well-" Phil got cut off by a knock by the doorframe. He and Tommy looked over and saw both Wilbur and Techno.

"What are you guys talking about?" Wilbur asked "Phil's about to tell me his villain back story go away" Tommy made a 'shoo' motion at the two.

Phil snorted at this "I was just about to explain to Tommy here, how me and Grian got seperated" Wilbur and Techno perked up at this. "Ooooh, Do tell, I'm curious now."

Phil smiled at his sons before he started to recount the events that managed to seperate the two young avians.

~~ 

Phil hummed as he hung up his and Grian's laundry.

"Phil?" A voice called, Phil turned around and saw his little brother peeking from the doorframe.

"Do you need help?" Grian asked as he apprached Phil. Phil ruffled his hair in return "Sure" Grian huffed at him for messing with his hair.

As the two were hanging the laundry in comfortable silence, Grian spoke up.

"Hey, um" He started "The elder told me to tell you that you and the others are supposed to go hunting today" Phil let out a small hum.

"Is that so? Well, let's hurry with this then" Phil picked up his speed slightly before pausing when he realized Grian was unmoving.

He nudged him, grabbing his attention "You alright mate?" He asked the younger, concerned.

"It's," Grian hesitated "It's just- I feel like something bad is going to happen" He mumbled quietly but loud enough for Phil to hear.

Phil noticed Grian gripping the shirt on his hands tightly. He frowned for a second before grabbing Grian's hands and putting it in between his.

"Grian" Grian looked a bit surprised by Phil's actions "I promise you, nothing bad is going to happen okay? I'll be alright and you'll be alright." He reassured him, Grian's tense shoulders finally loosened up a bit.

"Okay?" He asked again, Grian nodded at this "Okay."

__

Seven avians gathered at the entrance of their village, one of them being Phil.

"Alright, I'm gonna go now, don't do anything stupid" Grian laughed at this "How can I when you're taking all of the stupidity?"

Phil smiled, ruffling the younger's hair.

And then Phil left with the other avians, missing the scared look Grian donned.

__

Phil ran so fast, using his wings as boost. They had received a message from a crow that the village was under attack.

Phil's heart was beating so fast, his kind running way faster than him.

"Its just- I feel like something bad is going to happen"

Oh god, why didn't he listen to him!?

Phil skidded to a stop in front of the village, his eyes widened, his heart stopped as he took in the sight in front of him.

The village, it was absolutely destroyed, the gate was torn down, the houses were on fire, there were explosion holes everywhere.

He snapped out of his daze and ran inside "Grian!?" He called out runnkng through his home.

"Hello!? " He dodged a falling post.

"Gri!" He reached the center of the village.

"Gri!" He takes a turn towards their house.

"Where are you!?" He bursts inside the house looking for his brother.

He searches and searches but finds nothing, no one.

"GRIAN!" He calls out desperate for a response. He runs back out, searching through the entire village, he arrives at the communtity house.

Chapter Text

Phil and the others gather around the portal that would lead them to the main hub.

Before they stepped in, Tubbo and Ranboo spotted them and approached them.

"Hey! Where are you guys going?" Tubbo asked the four of them, noticing the very familiar mini travel bag Tommy was using.

"Tubso! We're gonna go meet with my long lost Uncle!" Tommy grinned, Techno raised his brow at this "Technically, he isn't really "lost"" He supplied.

"Wait, what?- hold on, back up a bit. You have an Uncle? As in Phil-has-a-brother Uncle?" Ranboo asked, bewildered.

"Yep! Right you are, Ranboob. And you'll never guess who it is!" Tommy excitedly exclaimed, grinning.

Tubbo and Ranboo glanced at each other "Is it....Grian?" Tubbo guessed jokingly.

"Aw man, you weren't supposed to actually guess it" Tommy pouted, stripped of the fun of being the one to tell them.

"Haha, real funny Tommy," Tubbo sarcastically said "So? Who is it actually?" Ranboo asked, looking at Phil.

"It's Grian" Phil confirmed. Tubbo laughed "How did you convince Phil to play along?" He asked turning to Tommy with a raised brow.

"He didn't, They're telling the truth. Grian IS our long not-so-lost Uncle" Techno piped in.

Ranboo and Tubbo froze for a moment

"WHAT- WAIT WHAT, HUH??? WHAT THE HELL- TOMMY DANGER INNIT MINECRAFT YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!" Tubbo exclaimed, absolutely bewildered by the news he had heard.

"Yeah, we were pretty shocked about it too." Tommy huffed out, looking back at when they first found out a couple of days ago.

"Hold on, how the hell did you guys find out?" Tubbo asked, quickly recovering from his shock.

"Oh, long story short, Techno almost got scammed but was, conveniently, saved by Grian and after Wilbur ranted about Grian, Phil bomb dropped the news that he was our Uncle. Oh and if you're gonna ask, Phil and Grian got seperated when they were younger after their village was attacked" Wilbur recounted the events that happened.

"Ok," Ranboo says slowly, processing the information.

"Wait so let me get this straight, basically Grian is your Uncle and you found out because Techno nearly got scammed and now you're gonna go and meet him?" Tubbo asked, looking at Phil.

"Yeah, pretty much" Phil shrugged.

"Does he know that he's your Uncle?" Ranboo asks the four, 

"Nope!" Tommy casually says, showing off his toothy grin.

Tubbo snorts "That's gonna be a interesting conversation." 

"Surely they have a plan, I mean it's not like Phil is going to approach Grian and go: "Hey its me, your long lost brother, by the way these are my sons so now you are their uncle"" Ranboo snickers at the thought before stopping once he realized Phil didn't say anything.

"You weren't planning on doing that...right?" Tubbo asked slowly, 

Tommy suddenly found his shoes interesting, Techno and Wilbur immediately avoided eye contact, and Phil sheepishly smiled.

"Uh, we were actually gonna do that" Phil coughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.

Ranboo and Tubbo looked at them in pure disbelief.

"I- I don't even know what to say to that." Tubbo said, a hint of dissapointment lacing his voice.

"Same, but uh, good luck? " Ranboo says, unsure of what to say.

"Thanks, well then, we're gonna head off now" The four bid goodbye to the two platonically married couple.

As Tubbo and Ranboo watched them dissapear from the portal, a train of realization hit Tubbo.

"Wait, how the fuck did they say they were gonna find Grian again?" Tubbo asked.

"They didn't"

•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•

The four walked out of the green tinted portal, the group exited the "Whitelisted Server" part of the world and on to the road that would lead them to the main hub.

"So, how exactly does your little necklace work?" Techno asked Phil who brought out his necklace.

"Well, it's quite simple, really. All i have to do is this," he placed his thumb and index on the top and bottom part of the pendant before a bunch of galactic writings circled the pendant, glowing ever so slightly. And then, a glowing arrow pointed to a direction with 

Tracking: Grian

Written underneath it. Phil grinned, happy that it still works. Like a charm.

"Aha! It still works! Thank prime for that" Phil cheered happily. The other three cheered in victory as well.

With that, the four continued their journey to finding the particular blonde male.

--

A couple of hours had passed since they embarked on this journey.

They had just arrived in the main hub, where it was buzzing with people.

There were multiple little shops on the side. Currently they were a couple thousand of blocks away from the DreamSMP portal.

"Jeez how long have we been walking for? My feet is aching" Tommy complained as he gripped the strap of his small travel bag.

"I, for once, agree with the child. Perhaps we could take a quick break" Techno spoke up, Tommy muttering "Bitch" underneath his breath, Techno proceeded to call him an infant.

"Oh come on, We can't stop now! We're probably super close to finding him! I can smell it" Wilbur insisted. Phil laughed lightly at the enthusiasm.

"Well, to be fair, It is getting pretty dark. So we could stay in an Inn for the night? Rest up a bit, then we'll continue our search tommorrow." Phil offered.

Wilbur pouted at this "Fiiiiiiine. But we leave first thing tommorrow!" He compromised, wanting to actually have the chance to speak to his idol- heck, his Uncle!

The idea of Grian being his Uncle still feels like a fever dream to him.

"Sure, whatever, just let me rest my poor legs already" Tommy whined.

And with that, the group headed to a nearby inn and checked in in a four-bed room.

Tommy flopped onto one of the beds, relishing in the comforts of the soft mattress. He let out a content sigh, causing Phil to snort.

"Phil, I'm hungry" Tommy huffed, looking at Phil. "Feed me." He demanded.

"Yes, Phil, we are very hungy. Feed your baby chicks- Phil, me me hungy" Wilbur said, flopping on top of Tommy causing him to groan.

"Get off me you stupid, balding, fishfucking-"

"Child, L, massive L, oh is the child throwing a tantrum, look at this big baby, Techno, Techno look-"

"Big ass forehead, bitch ass, stupid, sand loving ass. You absolute dick-" 

"Phil, stop them-"

"Alright, alright, both of you stop it. Come on, there's a restaurant next door. Let's all go get dinner, yeah?" Phil intervened, not wanting to get a complaint because of the excessive bickering Tommy and Wilbur were doing.

After a few minutes, they all went to the restaurant next door to get some food.
