The Spoiled Enderprince (Beeduo AU)

Chapter 12

**Ranboo's POV**

I know that Tubbo will be alright but I'm still worried about him. I mean it's not like he knows anything about defending himself or fighting, at least I don't think so.

I run into the laundry room and I'm met with a few disappointed faces. "You're late." One of the ladies said.

"You think you'd actually try to get on your father's good side"

"You don't even care."

"Spoiled prince"

"Tubbo is a better prince than you could ever hope to be."

"Hey! Lay off of him would ya?" We all turn to the door to see Tommy standing there, well mostly standing. He was leaning slightly on the door. "He was helping me because I am coming back to work today and I need someone to keep an eye on me. I chose Ranboo."

I heard the faint mumbling of apologies while other people just remained silent. "I'm sorry about that, Ranboo. Everyone is just on edge today since the news has been received of the General's visit. I'm glad that you're back okay from your discussion with the King." Puffy said kindly while placing a hand on my shoulder. "Looks like you'll be helping Tommy out today. Try not to let him bug you too much. Some people find him annoying at first."

"I think I can handle it. Thanks Puffy."

"Wow that was a close one man. Everyone was yelling at you. You looked like you were about to shit your pants HAHAA!"

I rub the back of my neck. "Yeah. Well um- thank you. For the save."

"Oh no worries man. Any friend of Tubbo's is a friend of mine. Either way, don't tell the others but I actually might need help preparing for the war! I am in terrible condition and I need to brush up on some skills!"

'Friend of Tubbo's'.... He thinks we're friends. Did Tubbo tell him we're friends? I didn't know he'd actually tell someone. Wait how does he know about the war? "How do you know anything about the war?"

"I overheard Niki and Wilbur talking. She seemed upset at him for some reason." Upset? Why would she be upset. I'll have to speak with her later.

"Okay then.. why exactly do you need to know how to fight?"

"In the past, all men and women who desired would volunteer themselves to fight in the war. Power is in the numbers my friend and I count as 10 people for I am the strongest man. I just need a sparing buddy. I'm still relieved from duties for one day and you are now relieved as well because you're 'helping me' so let's go!" He starts walking slowly but confidently... overconfidently... in the direction of the smaller training room. "Are you coming or what? We're burning daylight Ranboob."

I'm going to punt that kid to the damn moon. I corrected him so many times that night we stayed with Tubbo, he just doesn't listen! I just roll my eyes and follow him. There's no getting out of this I guess.

"You caught me off guard that time. But you won't see this coming!" Tommy goes to sweep my feet and I easily dodge watching him trip over himself. I point the sword at him.

"Tommy, you can't fight."

"I can! I am the greatest-"

"Tommy. Stop. You can't fight." I continue pointing my sword at him and keep a straight face. He is going to get himself killed.

He sighs and drops his sword. He sits against the wall. "You're right. I know I can't. I used to be able to. Someone very important to me taught me how to fight and I was pretty damn good at it." He chuckled and I gave him a small smile, taking a seat next to him. "Ever since I... Got sick... I haven't been the same. I can't fight. I can't walk. I get tired more quickly. I feel useless Ranboo."
