How to Love (C!Quackity x reader)

The Desert City

     You lived far away from the main parts of the dsmp. You were always a loner, especially after all the shit that went down during the wars. You were never on one side. You were neutral in it all, even though Tommy wanted you on his side to fight against Dream. You never really liked them both so you declined every time. But you watched the war from afar. You were very good at getting information.

     The best thing about you was your skill to watch quietly from the shadows. You had things on basically everyone. You knew everything about everyone. Well, except for Dream, which genuinely worried you. He was everywhere all at once but you could never get any information on him. But it's okay because you never did anything against him. So he wouldn't need to come after you.

You also knew how to fight decently well. You were better at sniping from far away than up close, though. You were also really good at making potions. You never really knew why, it just clicked one day.

     At the moment you were tending to your crops. Today you would explore a bit, you were running low on iron so you thought you would find a new cave.

     You were now traveling farther than you normally would. You never like traveling, being in one place was way easier. You respected those that could travel for a long time without settling down. Maybe in another life, you were a big traveler, but not in this life.

     You were leaving the edge of your forest and walked into a Plains biome, farther away you saw a desert. You decided to explore the plains before going into the desert.

     You found a small cave not too far into the biome, luckily. You didn't want to go too far. Luckily, you found a good amount of iron and coal in the cave. When you got out of the cave, the sun was starting to set. So you decided to go back home. Maybe tomorrow you can look around the desert, maybe there was a temple that no one looted yet.

     So you got dressed and headed to bed early. Not without petting your dog, Pixie. Pixie was a large German Shepherd. She was trained to protect you as a child. You both grew up together and you were very glad you had her. If Pixie wasn't with you, you wouldn't be alive at the moment.

     You woke up around 9:30 A.M. that morning. You got dressed in a white T-shirt and brown cargo shorts. You also wore your combat boots so you didn't get sand in your shoes. You thought about bringing Pixie, but she was mostly black and brown, and you didn't want her to overheat. So you left her at home. You brought your backpack filled with food and water, and you had your sword on your hip and a crossbow attached to your backpack. Hopefully, you wouldn't need your weapons though.

     So you walked through your dense forest, through the plains, and into the desert. When you were at the edge of the desert you saw it was very flat, except for one mountain that seemed to have a small building on top of it. You decided to walk toward it.

     Maybe you can make a friend? But maybe you shouldn't. When you were younger you were always the 'weirdo'. Because of that you never had friends, nor a relationship. Plus your parents were always busy working so you were by yourself your whole life. Because your parents were never there, you never knew what love was. To this day you always wondered what your childhood would've been like if you had friends, and maybe a partner. But it doesn't matter now. Now you were alone, like every other time. But that is how you liked it.

     Now you were way closer to the mountain. There was a small stone building on the mountain. You decided to go around and see if there was an easier way to get to the top. I turned around the sandstone corner and saw a.. City? It looked like a giant casino surrounded by a town. It looked gorgeous, but why the hell is it out here? Where there are no cities around it for the most amount of money? You looked around more, but you didn't want to go in. You didn't want to get caught up in a city where you don't know anyone. Eventually, you found a sign near the casino. It read 'Las Nevadas' in big glowing text. You didn't have time for this.

You decided to go back home. You were in your forest now. You swear you heard something behind you. You turned around and saw a bright green blob. What the hell is that? That's weird, but if it's not hurting me or anything else, then you couldn't care less. You continued walking to your house. When you got home you watered your crops. Then you fed Pixie, and yourself.

The rest of the day you didn't do anything. You played fetch with Pixie. One time she brought back a peony flower instead of the stick you threw. You loved your dog and you wouldn't know what to do if something happened.

Truly you never needed anyone. Pixie was there for you. Maybe you never needed anyone. You had yourself and your lovely dog. You didn't need anyone because you've gotten this far, right?
