The Raven and The Wolf [discontinued]

Words Hurt Worse Than Wounds

  He buried his head in his arms.

His knees pulled to his chest.

Ranboo sat in the corner of his house.

Tears ran down his face, they burnt horribly, the pain just made him cry more.

His cat repetitively poked him with its paw as if it was telling him to calm down.

He heard a knock on his door.

Not now.

He figured maybe if stayed silent they would think he wasn't there and leave.

Another knock.

He stayed quiet.

"Ranboo come on I know you're here I watched you run into your house."

Great, it was Fundy, what was he gonna say?

"Ranboo, I broke Tubbo's locked door before and I will break yours!" Fundy yelled from the other side of the door.

The tone of his voice wasn't threatening, or upset, more joking than anything.

Ranboo had no choice, it was either go open the door, or Fundy would break a window or something like that to get in.

Ranboo knew Fundy, and he didn't know when to stop, sometimes it worked out, sometimes he got himself hurt because of it.

Ranboo stood up, picked up his cat, and carried it with him. Much to Enderchest's displeasure.

He creaked the door open.

Fundy stood outside his door.

Fundy's face was flushed, he had clearly been crying as well.

Although knowing Fundy he was probably coming to talk to Ranboo as a way to cope, pretend like it didn't happen.

Fundy met Ranboo's gaze.

"Tubbo was really upset with you, wasn't he?" Fundy gave a sympathetic look.

Ranboo sighed, "I think he hates me now, I honestly don't blame him, " Ranboo mumbled.

"Don't say that I'm sure he doesn't, he's going through a lot of shit right now, he'll forgive and forget in a day, I know Tubbo, " Fundy assured him.

Ranboo nodded, wincing at the pain from the tears.

"Does that hurt?" Fundy asked.

"Yeah, really badly, " Ranboo said.

"Damn, being half enderman must suck, you seemed to get all of the bad and none of the good, " Fundy said.

"Yeah, " Ranboo murmured.

"Fundy, I don't want to be the person to tell you but I'm not letting what happened between me and Tubbo happen between us. Fundy, Wilbur he-"

Fundy cut him off, "I don't want to talk about Wilbur Ranboo, I already know he's alive, I don't want to have to even think of that bastard." Fundy said.

"What happened between you two?" Ranboo regretted asking that the second the words escaped his mouth.

"I said I didn't want to talk about it Ranboo, " Fundy looked annoyed.

"I'm sorry, " Ranboo knew that question could only end badly.

Fundy turned to leave, "I'm gonna go, oh yeah and Ranboo, " he looked over his shoulder, "Sam was looking for you earlier today."

Sam? Why would Sam be looking for me? Ranboo thought.

"Thanks, I'll make sure to go find him, and I'm sorry for bringing up a touchy subject Fundy, " Ranboo said back.

"It's fine, " Fundy assured him before walking away.

Ranboo shut the door before setting Enderchest, who had been attempting to jump out of his arms, onto the ground.

He sat back down, he somewhat calmed down, at least stopped crying.

He sat back down and took out the book.

Ranboo stared down at the page with the Galatic written on it for a while before flipping to the next black page.

Don't bring up Wilbur when Fundy is around, it's a touchy subject.

He wrote it down, not wanting to forget it and end up upsetting him again.

He leaned back, Ranboo decided to go figure out what Sam wants later, and to try to calm himself down now.

  Ranboo was awakened by a loud knock.

  He realized he must have fallen asleep, he stood up and walked over to the door.

"Whos there?" he called.

"It's Sam." Sam called back.

Ranboo vaguely remembered Fundy saying something about Sam but couldn't remember what.

"The door should be unlocked you can come in, " Ranboo told him.

  The door creaked open.

  Sam peered in.

  "Hey, you look upset, " Sam commented walking the rest of the way in.

  "Had a bad day, " Ranboo didn't want to talk about it.

"I heard, " Sam regretted saying that.

"You know about me and Tubbo's fight?" Ranboo looked up at him.

"Yeah Fundy told me, " he played it off as if that's what he meant.

Puffy had told him she wasn't meant to tell anyone so Sam had to make sure Ranboo didn't know that he knew what happened between him and Dream.

"Oh, " Ranboo looked down.

"I'm sorry but, may I ask what the fight was about, had didn't bring up the reason, " Sam asked.

"I- I knew something important and I didn't tell him, that's it, " Ranboo said.

"What was that thing?" Sam inquired.

"I- I don't really wanna talk about it, Sam, " Ranboo mumbled.

"Okay okay, that's fine but you need to tell me something." Sam said.

Ranboo looked up slightly.

"Did this have anything to do with Dream?" Sam had an extremely serious look on his face.

Ranboo panicked.

Did Sam know?

"Ranboo, " Sam speaking again pulled Ranboo out of thought.

"N-no, " Ranboo hesitated.

"You're lying, I can tell that you're lying, " Sam had a stern look on his face.

"I- Sam I don't know if he did, " Ranboo mumbled.

"You don't know?" Sam looked confused.

"I think he may have been the one who gave Tubbo my book, and that's how Tubbo figured out I knew, " Ranboo explained.

"Ranboo, why didn't you tell him this important thing?" Sam asked.

"I- Sam I don't mean to come off rude, but this really isn't your business, " Ranboo locked eyes with him.

"It is when Dream is involved," Sam replied.

Sam seemed to notice the uneasy look on Ranboo's face because he sighed and gave him a sympathetic look.

"Please Ranboo, I need to make sure no one is in danger, especially you. This doesn't seem like a good situation at all for you, " Sam said.

"Yes Sam, he was. He- Sam, Tommy is alive, " Ranboo murmured.
