So, let me start this off to say that I had this idea a long time ago, and somehow, my brain is like,
ZIT Trio cuddling Grian after an anxiety attack.........
ZIT Trio cuddling Grian after an anxiety attack........
ZIT Trio cuddling Grian after an anxiety attack.........
Me: FINE GODDANGGITT
Also, this is set in season 6 of HC but it doesn't follow some of the things like where Grian put his mega base or that Scar has a tube like in real life in a wheelchair. Ok. Sorry it's so long and the ending was rushed. I just wanted to publish this. WC: 1645 words, ( not including this note)

The server Admin stood in front of the Infinity Portal that came once every two years to take them to another world so they could create more.
Xisuma wanted this season to be special. It marked the end of their earlier 5 years with no one new joining. Out of all the Hermits waiting, three were especially excited. The ZIT Crew.
X got everyone's attention. "I have something to say to everyone before we join season 6." He waited for everyone to quiet down. "As I was saying, we are finally getting a new Hermit!" Everyone cheered.
"I wonder what he will look like?" Asked Ren. "Never mind that, I wonder if he's cute." Replied Stress. "I want another person that's good at redstone like me," replied Mumbo. "How about another girl?" Asked False.
X sighed. Before he could quiet down the others again, the portal lit up like purple flame.

A boy with blond hair and beautiful light blue eyes waited in front of an unlit portal. He hid himself behind a tree, nervous about meeting the others. What if they thought he was weird? What if they hated him just by looking at him? He shook his head to get rid of the thoughts.
The portal lit up and he scrambled behind the thicker trunk of another tree.
He heard voices that sounded excited. Whether that excitement was from beginning a new season, or meeting a new Hermit, he didn't know. And that made him more nervous.
"Ok, welcome to season 6 of HermitCraft. GO!" Said a guy with a yellow suit and a purple helmet. "Wait, what about the new Hermit?" Asked another boy in a lime green shirt.
"Ah, right. Grian? Come out." The blond slowly stepped forward smiling a little. "Hi. I hope to be friends." Laughter came from the lime shirt boys side. "Really? You asked a frail boy?" Asked a girl with blond hair.
"That's not nice, False," A boy with blue sunglasses and a red shirt with a robotic hand glared at her. "Not nice."
"Hi there. The name is Tango. This is Zedaph and Impulse. You could call us the ZIT Trio if you want." Grian nodded. "Hey, I'm BDubs, but you can call me Bubbles like Keralis here does."
"Hey. I'm Scar and I hope that you come to me for any terraforming you may need." Grian looked more closely at him. He was in a wheelchair and had tubes up his nose. Grian smiled at that. He held out his hand. "Hi," he said nervously.
In a few moments, he learned everyone's names. The Hermits he chose to stick to were, of course, Scar, Tango, Impulse, Zedaph, Keralis, BDubs, Stress and Ren. Ren and Stress because they both stood up for him, Keralis and Impulse because they were sweet and kind and Scar, Tango and BDubs because they all had something in common.
Grian made a cute little cabin out in a spruce forest with Ren.

"So, G," the blond looked up. "What do you think of everyone so far?" Ren asked. It has only been a week and he managed to make friends with two others, Mumbo and Iskall.
Doc, False and Cub scared him a little, False being outright hostile. Cub kinda ignoring him in favor of building, and Doc because he wasn't getting along with BDubs.
"Honestly, I think I get along with Scar more then anything." The brunette looked up. "Why is that?" He asked. "I think it's because of his wheelchair maybe?" Grian shrugged. "Maybe because he's funny and likes making everyone happy." Ren replied and picked up a shulker. "We'll talk later. I have to get this to Cubfan, then go to the shopping district to re stock my shop." Grian nodded. "Ok."
Ren took off clumsily and Grian turned around. There was no interior on his half of the cabin yet. Maybe he could fix that today. So he got a bunch of spruce wood and some stone brick for the base. He wanted to somehow, make his half go up another floor in the style of a Tutor-style while still keeping with the whole layout of stone and wood.
He took a step back and sighed once he was done. It didn't look like much but he had added a nice balcony at the back of the second floor and a little porch with a canopy over top of it.
The interior was looking nice too, taking some inspiration from BDubs's fantasy styled town he made with Keralis.
Just then, he heard footsteps. He turned around to see Impulse standing with two shulkers in his arms. "Hey. Zed thought you would like these, so I'll put them here." He replied to Grian's confuse glance.
"So," he said once he put everything down, "how are the others treating you? Do you like it here?" The blond nodded. "Yeah. And thanks for the box." He said looking in it.
"Also, Tango and I thought we could ask if you wanted to sleep over tonight. Zed will be there too as well as BDubs. Although, I haven't herd anything on Keralis yet though."
'They want to invite me? But I'm not special.' Grian thought. "Sure, if I'm welcome." Impulse smiled. "Cool, I'll let the other's know. Also, we will be at Tango Towers." Grian nodded and Impulse flew away.

Later that night, Ren was surfing on his laptop when the blond came downstairs. "Hey, Ren?" He looked up. "Should I really go tonight?" Ren smiled. "Well, what's stopping you, my dude?" "What if they-" The brunette cut him off. "Of course they would want you there. I mean, isn't that why they invited you?" Grian nodded at him. "So, you've got nothing to worry about." Grian smiled at him. "Thanks for helping me out." "Hey, what are friends for?"

TANGO POV
I waited for everyone to show up. Scar was already here. "Tell me again why I need to be present?" He asked. "Because apparently, Impulse invited Grian and he seems to be more open to you and Ren, while he's like a big shield with the rest of us." I told him. We heard fireworks and BDubs and Keralis are here. "I didn't think Keralis was even going to show up, but when he found out about me going, he wanted to come only to cuddle with me." Replied BDubs before anyone could speak.
"That's alright. The only other ones needed now are Impulse, Zedaph and Grian." I said. BDubs, looked at me. "I didn't think he was coming." Scar rolled his eyes. "Neither did I."

Back to Grian
Impulse and Zedaph waited outside Tango's place for me. "Are you ready?" I nodded at Zed. We walked in to see Keralis cuddling with Bubbles and Tango licking a spatula with chocolate on it. Impulse raised his eyebrow at the demon.
"I'm making cake." Was his reply. I could tell they were all trying to get me to open up a bit to them, and honestly, I wanted to. I wanted to pour my anxiety onto them. But I'd be a burden to them, so I just kept to myself most of the night.
Around midnight, we had decided to sleep as we were all tired and Scar and BDubs were already asleep. Keralis slept on the couch with a curled up cuddly Bubbles, Scar fell asleep in the armchair and Zed pulled a sleepy Impulse and Tango with him into Tango's room, leaving me alone.
I was lonely. I new what normally happened when I was lonely. My anxiety put on elytra and shot through the roof. And when it shot through the roof, I couldn't breathe and I had an anxiety attack. I held my breath and closed my eyes trying to shut out the thoughts.
Weak. Pathetic. Stupid. Useless. More words that I didn't want to hear. I shook my head trying to make myself think of something else. But it was no use. I was in the bank of attack.
I decided to go to Tango's room and maybe curl up with them.
With that thought, I hurried up the stairs. I opened their door to see them fast asleep. I laid down on the ground on Impulse's side of the bed. The bad thoughts consumed me and I couldn't breathe. I sobbed. No one would care, right? I'm worthless. Tango must have heard me. He sat up and saw me curled up in a ball on the ground.
"Grian? What's wrong?" He asked me. "Impy? Zed? Wake up." The two mumbled out and woke up. "Grian. Anxiety attack." Was all Tango said and they quickly got out of bed and grabbed me. "Come over here. We'll cuddle you." Said Zedaph. I sniffled and nodded, trying to breathe.
I got in bed between Tango and Impulse with Zedaph practically laying on top of me. They calmed me down.
I slowly fell asleep to their heartbeats.

Season 7 started and Impulse, Zedaph and Tango have claimed me as theirs. Now, we were boyfriends and none of us could be any happier, and I don't regret loving them!
