Tubbo POV

*about a week later*

I had gotten a lot closer to Ranboo in the past few days, sticking with him all day and sometimes cuddling with him on the couch at night. But there was still one thing, I wasn't sure if he felt the same way about me...as I did about him. I do like him, really like him a lot, more than friends, I love him. I'm just...not sure though.

Does he love me back? If I tell him I love him, will he hate me? Should I just push these feelings aside for the sake of our friendship? Yeah, I think I'll do that last one. As long as we stay friends it'll be okay...

I wasn't sure if I liked the thoughts that went through my head, but if it meant staying friends, I was okay with any decision they helped with.

*thump*

I sat up from where I had been sleeping on the couch and quietly stood up, switching to my crossbow as I stepped up to the door. I could hear noise coming from the edge of the woods as I cautiously opened the door, careful to make sure it was shut and locked behind me. A tall figure stood just inside the trees. I aimed my crossbow at it before realizing it looked like...Ranboo?

"Hey Ranboo, what are you doing out this late? You should be inside, it isn't safe to be out here alone," I shouted as I walked closer, putting my crossbow away. He turned and looked at me, but something was...different, something was...off. That's when it hit me, purple eyes, fully black skin, he was in an enderwalk.

I backed away slowly, aiming my eyes at the ground and hoping...praying that he wouldn't come after me. I could hear a low growling as he walked closer to me. In one swift move, I was off the ground being held up by my neck. I kicked and struggled to get away, gasping for air and sobbing in pain. I heard a loud shout from the direction of the house.

I was thrown to the ground as Ranboo growled in pain and teleported away. I was now laying on the ground, coughing and trembling. Eret rushed over to me, scooping me up, and carried me inside while I lay in his arms, shocked.

"Tubbo, are you okay? What happened?" Eret asked while working to clean the wounds on my neck from Ranboo's claws. I didn't answer him. I just hoped that Ranboo would be okay...

(eret POV)

I ran to the door with Fundy to see Ranboo in an enderwalk, holding Tubbo by his neck about three feet off the ground. Tubbo was kicking and whining, doing all he could to escape, but his efforts were useless. Fundy carefully loaded one of the poison-laced arrows into his crossbow and fired it at Ranboo. He threw Tubbo down and teleported away. I rushed over to the shocked boy laying on the ground. He had bruises and some moderately deep scratches on his neck and throat. I picked him up in my arms and carried him gently into the house, sitting down with him on the couch and asking if he was okay. He didn't respond so I just busied myself with bandaging his wounds. After a minute or so, he sat up and looked at me,

"I-is Ranboo going to be okay?" he asked, sounding more concerned than ever.

I looked back down at him and gave him a light hug,

"Ranboo should be fine. The arrow didn't go deep, and the poison isn't lethal, but it might knock him out. He will probably just wake up feeling sick, but otherwise fine." I said, careful to not mention the fact that Fundy was out tracking him down in the forest right now, with a whole quiver of poison arrows...

a/n: before anyone says you can't shoot an enderman, its because ranboo was focused on tubbo and didn't notice fundy until after the arrow was shot. anyways, hey guys! how u all doin'? i ate a shit ton of candy yesterday so now my throat hurts. question of the day - what is your favorite candy? for me its either almond joy or butterfingers. i like both of them. also ark genesis 2 on wednesday so thats awesome, but i swear if they move the date again i am going to scream. thats all ive got for today, drink water, see ya tomorrow.
