#keksuma

It is traditional, in the Void family, that they do not show their faces to anyone but their lovers. These rules make an exception for their closest staff - those that clothe them, who prepare their baths.

Keralis is one of those servants. He serves the current Void heir, Xisuma. As such, he's one of the few people to have seen Xisuma's face. Even his own parents haven't seen it now for years.

But Keralis does. He gets to see the way Xisuma's nose scrunches up as he smiles. He gets to brush Xisuma's hair from his forehead. He taught him how to shave, and how to patch up where the blade caught his skin.

And he kisses Xisuma's bare skin. He cups his face and pulls him close. He feels Xisuma's breath against his neck, and the brush of his eyelashes against his cheek.

Keralis: lov....

Keralis: i've fee... ling .. s

Bdubs: It's okay, take your time.

Xisuma rarely removing his helmet doesn't stop Keralis showering him with flowers. Sometimes he presents Xisuma with bouquets, bigger than both of their heads. If they're lying together in a field, Keralis will weave the stems around Xisuma's plating, until Xisuma jokes he looks like a walking bush. Their home is always decorated with fresh flowers - cut or potted.

Evil Xisuma stole his body in Season 3.

He respawned as just the armor, with nothing inside.

X did not notice this for two weeks. Even then, he didn't care.

He's found that he can modify his armor with just a thought, which is pretty neat. But he has to keep telling Keralis - "No, I'm not going to modify the crotch like that."

If it took him that long to notice his body was missing, he decided it can't be that important to him. The benefits outweigh the negatives, really. He doesn't need to eat and drink, nor sleep. He doesn't have to worry about hygiene or illness. Nor body aches and pains.

He should be thanking Ex for the favour.

He does miss the intimacy. He never liked touch much when he had a body, but he misses it now. Keralis doesn't seem to mind, though. He finds Xisuma perfectly huggable anyway. And X can make sure he feels perfect for him.

They are shocked that there brother is still alive from his admin stuff and not eating, that is untill Keralis told them he spoons xisuma with a bear grip and forces his boyfriend to eat and sleep.

Keralis likes to think it helps that he is like 4 feet taller then xisuma how is 5,5

Keralis enjoys the excuse to spend time with Xisuma, plus he gets to take a break himself! It's hard work being as unbelievably attractive as he is everyday! (Xisuma whacks him for that comment.)

Xisuma is the captain of a very well known group of pirates, and Keralis is a very charming merman... They are, as history books would put it, 'great friends '

There's rumours of how nobody who attacks the hermits lives to tell the tale. As a crew, they don't attack unprovoked. In the taverns, people say you'd have to be a fool to cross them.

Their secret lies beneath the waves.

Mers have a different culture completely to humans. They aren't mindlessly aggressive creatures, but killing is part of life. The ocean does not follow the same rules as the land.

So, if anybody attacks Keralis's partner, he tears their ship apart.

He takes great delight in the way the wood creaks and snaps, or the way the metal bends and rings as he scratches it. There's great joy in destruction and Keralis savours every bit of it.

They lost there parents when they where 16 and got adopted by generik at 17. They both trained to be admins and grian went off to make his own server as for xisuma stayed on hermitcraft and took over for generik.

The twins didn't see each other untill season 6, when xisuma stepped out of the portal he got tackled to the ground knocking his helmet off and his wings to fluff up from the shock of being tackled.

When xisuma released what is going on he hugged grian tight and where happy to finally be reunion.

Keralis and mumbo on the where worried for a minute until they saw there boyfriends hug each other.

The twins explained to the others that grian is xisumas younger twin brother and everyone was shocked that there admin had a twin.

The sever was much more fun now grian was on it and he was able to get xisuma into alot of pranks that sometimes got the two in trouble with there boyfriends bit they always flyed away before that.

The few of them who were familiar with a helmet-less Xisuma took a while to get used to Grian. The wings are thankfully a give away, but their similarities still cause the occasional double take!

Xisuma seems so much more relaxed as a whole with Grian around. He wears his helmet less. A few hermits have even caught him relaxing in his base without his armour. The two share several inside jokes. Grian doubles over laughing when he hears Keralis's way of saying Xisuma's name - Grian and X have been mispronouncing each other's names on purpose for years!

Mumbo and Keralis also have a lot of catching up to do. Xisuma and Grian have always been quiet about their families. They knew their parents died when they were teenagers, and they knew an admin took them in (their opinions on the admin aside.) Even that information took a lot of trust.
