Chapter Text
Ranboo wasn't dumb. As soon as he entered the sever, the lands of the Dream SMP he knew Dream was manipulative and had complete control over everyone in the lands, he knew he was a lair at heart and almost anything he spat was a lie. He always held a secret hatred for the green man.
When he started here faint whispers of the man, he knew it wasn't in his head, he knew it was Dream most likely with an invisibility potion or just hiding. He hoped he was pissing off Dream by ignoring the whispers.
When Tommy got exiled has reasonably upset, it wasn't a lot of damage, I mean, Tubbo's house looked worse (He was told it was burned down during one of the wars, the poor thing is just scraps and splinters of wood). He new Dream was trying to break apart this nation and the first step to that was to make the poor president unstable. Because of this Ranboo help Tubbo get through the guilt and awful feelings of exiling his best friend as a friend and work partner. He told Tubbo he would write about him in the letters he was gin to send to Tommy, Tubbo was ecstatic at the news when he first heard this but that just brought more guilt and worry, nothing Ranboo couldn't help with!
"I- What if he hates me?" Tubbo rambled, "I choose a stupid piece of land over my best friend!"
"Like I've said before Tubbo, he's not mad at you, he understand why you didn't but just can't grasp onto why you did it. He misses you, he misses L'manburg too but you the most." Ranboo replied calmly, he was hugging Tubbo and patting his arm in understanding and comfort. This was a weekly thing, Tubbo was used to keeping all his emotion bottled up and helping others beside himself, Ranboo was the perfect therapist friend for him, he didn't have any trauma like all the other minors in the SMO and if he did it was all forgotten and not a problem anymore. He had an open mind and new how to make someone better, Tubbo took no offence when Ranboo forgot something he said at the beginning, it was a mood lightener when the look of confusion on Ranboos face made them both laugh, that was when these sessions ended.
Tubbo was crying into his shoulder, it may have tingled a little bit but he would never mention it. He took a glance up and saw a green man taking off his armor, he never did take off his armor in L'manburg so he must be up to something. He ignored it for the time being, that was until he saw him heading over to them. He quickly looked at him and tried to look into the beads of the mask.
"HEY, TUB-" Ranboos eyes glowed purple cutting Dream off.
*Dream POV*
"HEY TUB-" I was cut off by an unfamiliar feeling. Ranboos eyes glowed a dark neon purple, this made my body shiver. I tried too look away but I couldn't move, a cold sweat started to appear as my body, my legs felt like jelly and my arms felt like they were about to come out of socket from how heavy they were. Fear. I've felt this once or twice, why am I feeling this now. Ranboos form started to look worse, larger, sharper teeth with black gooze dripping off his teeth, he turned a darker black than I have ever seen, his skin started melting away into black bones and the place around us started turn into the void. My legs gave out and I fell to the floor shaking, everything went back to normal. My legs wouldn't work so I threw an enderpearl randomly, I had to get out of here.
*3rd person POV*
I finally blinked and Dream was on the floor shaking like a man with no coat on a below freezing day. He threw a pearl and the only trace that be was there was the purple particles that floated down onto the grass. I smiled to myself, he wouldn't be coming near Tubbo with me around.
