The Hidden Kingdom // DreamSMP

Chapter 13: Suspicion

The familiar crunch of snow seemed to be the only thing that could comfort you as you ran into L'manburg. Out of breath, you slowed to a walking pace as you neared the bridge that led into the small wooden village that stood above the small lake.

"(Y/n)!"

Turning around at the mention of your name, the cold creeped up your legs as you saw Quackity standing beside a smaller brunette in a suit.

You rose a brow and waved, stopping as you waited for them to make their way towards you.

"Uh- hey." You gave a small smile as you shifted your weight onto one leg, crossing your arms from the cold.

"(Y/n)- Heyyyy!" Quackity smiled as he stuffed his hands into the pockets of his slightly oversized jacket.

"Uhm- Hello!" Beside him stood a brunette with hazel eyes. As you studied his features it seemed he had horn that barely stuck out from his messy hair and his eyes seemed to resemble that of a goat.

You couldn't help but stare at his horns. "Uhh- Hi." Forcing your eyes away from his horns, you look for his eyes. "I'm (Y/n)."

"I'm Tubbo!" He puffed his chest out a bit. "I'm L'manburg's president! We don't get visitors that often- or at all actually." His brows. furrowed.

Quackity furrowed his brows. "Now that reminds me- Where are you staying?"

You raise your brows.

What were you going to say?

That you can travel between worlds and you just so happen to stay at the school dorm of your world?

Tightening your arms around you, you nod. "I've been staying uhh- just outside of the DreamSMP."

Tubbo nods. "How long are you visiting for?"

Sweatdropping, you scratch the back of your head and looked to the side. "Uh- Y'know... I'm not sure. I'm a uh- traveler! Always on the move..?"

Quackity laughed. "Why do you sound so unsure about that?"

"Hey- Look... I uh-" You sighed and perked up as you remembered what you were doing there. Itching to change the subject. "Actually, now that I've run into you guys- Have either of you seen Karl?"

They looked towards each other before facing you.

"Nope."

"No. Sorry."

They both spoke at once and you groaned.

Quackity rose a brow. "Any reason you need him?" His suspicion from when he first saw her grew. "You aren't going to- hurt him or anything yeah?"

Your eyes widened as you waved your hands in front of you. "No! No- I can barely throw a punch. I was just looking for him so I could-" You paused.

So you could what?

Make you feel better about yourself?

To apologize?

Maybe receive an apology in return?

They stared at you, their brows raising in curiosity at the sudden pause.

"-So i could talk to him. We uh- argued?"

Quackity straightened his posture.

"What?" A sheepish smile on his face yet a mismatching, yet deadly aura seeped around him. "What happened?"

You shrank a bit under his gaze. 'Why is everyone here so fucking crazy-'

Tubbo placed a hand on his shoulder. "Big Q- I'm sure it wasn't anything too bad if (Y/n) wants to talk to him about it right?"
