SUNSET ON THE EAST SIDE//Quackity x Reader

Chapter 98

We enjoy each others presence throughout the small picnic. The small chirping of birds overhead and the sunlight which shines through the small gaps in the trees create a calming atmosphere.

I think for a moment about who will be attending the wedding.

I already asked Sapnap, Karl and George if they would be attending and despite us not speaking for a while, they agreed to come since it's a major event.

Most people will be invited except a few certain individuals. Bad and the rest of the Eggpire haven't been seen since the egg incident so they won't be there. Of course there's Dream but he won't be attending for obvious reasons.

Then there's Wilbur. I feel bad for not letting him into the wedding but he's put us all through enough pain. I don't want him to ruin our day.

"Quackity?" I get his attention and he looks up at me with curious eyes.

"What is it mi amor? My beautiful fiance." He says in a really cheesy way which makes me feel happy.

"I just- you know how we've already sorted out the guest list? What about Ranboo?" I ask and I see his smile drop at the mention of his name.

"I don't know Y/N... he's working with Wilbur. We don't know if he can be trusted." He replies.

"I know he is. But I trust him. Tubbo will probably be looking for him and I know that they're not exactly on speaking terms but they should at least get to see each other. I can tell Tubbo misses him and I bet Ranboo misses him too." I explain, waiting for a reply.

"Fine. Once we finish up here, we can go over to their burger van to speak with him. I'm sure he's probably there." Quackity states and I nod my head.

So that's exactly what we do. We quickly finish up our food and pack away our blanket and basket, taking it back home.

Not long after, we find ourselves making our way towards the small area of land which Wilbur claimed as his own.

"If Wilbur is here, I'll get him away from you so you can talk to Ranboo. But I don't think he's here so we should be okay." He plans ahead just in case which is a smart move.

We jump across the lake and climb over the small wooden boarder to their land.

I hear crying coming from inside the small burger van and I raise my fist to the door, knocking once. The crying stops but no one opens the door.

"Love, maybe you should stay out here and guard the door just in case Wilbur comes back." I suggest and Quackity nods, sitting on the step.

"Ranboo, it's me... Y/N. Can I please come in and talk to you?" I ask politely and then door opens slightly, allowing me to step inside.

"Thank you Ranboo. I heard you crying not long ago. Is everything okay?" I ask but don't push him. He just nods his head and tries to occupy himself so he doesn't look me in the eyes.

"Yeah it's fine. What can I do for you?" He formally asks and I take a deep breath.

"Ranboo, I want to invite you to mine and Quackity's wedding." I say. He looks at me dumbfounded and his eyes lock on the ring on my finger.

"You're getting married? Oh... congratulations." He gives me a lazy smile and looks away from me again.

"Ranboo... I know it's been hard for you and I know you miss Tubbo. He's going to be at the wedding too. Maybe if you come along, you could see him again." I tell him softly, not wanting force him into anything.

I don't want to be another Wilbur.

"I- Tubbo doesn't want to see me. Believe me Y/N. I spoke to him with Wilbur back where L'manburg's crater is. He just wanted to be left alone." He sounds sad, broken.

"I tell you what, no matter what you think or what anyone says Ranboo, I can tell he misses you. Even if you refuse to see it, he does." I inform the enderboy who still doesn't look me in the eyes.

"I-I don't know Y/N..."

I sigh, turning away to the door, opening it slightly which allows sunlight to fade in.

"Just... think about it. Okay?" I ask and he nods.

I step out of the burger van and look down at Quackity which makes him stand up. We get some distance away from the van before Quackity starts asking questions.

"So what did he say?" He asks impatiently. I rub my eyes and sigh.

"He's gonna think about it. I honestly can't tell if he'll turn up or not. He thinks Tubbo hates him. He won't even give him a chance." I say and Quackity awkwardly rubs the back of his neck.

"Maybe it's because Tubbo sold the cookie outpost to us." He say which makes me widen my eyes.

He did what?

"What? He never told me he did that. You never told me he did that." I say with crossed arms. I mean, I'm not that mad because it's not that important but still, he could have told me.

"I forgot to be honest. It's not exactly a big part of anything that's been happening." He says and of course he's right. The proposal and wedding planning has been the only thing clouding my mind recently.

"True. I just hope Ranboo turns up. Even if him and Tubbo don't talk to each other, they will both still get to see how the other is getting on." I feel bad for the both of them.

They used to be so close. But as soon as Wilbur came back, he's begun to divide them apart by the hands of his own manipulation.

The sun goes down and the sky is painted in a beautiful shade of purple as we make our way back to the penthouse for a relaxing night's sleep.
