Ranboo One Shots (Ft. Philza and Technoblade)

Family: Phil, Techno, Patches

➳No trigger warnings

The cats in the alleyway were nice to ranboo. They let him sleep in the cardboard boxes they normally reserved for their kitten. They sometimes brought Ranboo a dead rat or bird to eat. One of them had even groomed him once.

Ranboo made sure he returned the kindness. He would bring the cats tuna that he stole from stores, guard the kittens when their mothers were away, and give pets. The cats were Ranboo's only friends, and he was ok with that.

Ranboo wasn't sure if he had other friends. He didn't remember any, and if he didn't' remember then it probably wasn't important. He knew he didn't have a family. That was a fact that was engraved on his mind.

Ranboo ran a hand through his greasy half white half black hair. He hadn't showered in weeks. He hadn't had a decent meal in a while. He couldn't remember the last time he ate, but he assumed it was a while ago. His stomach grumbled but Ranboo ignored it. The back allies of L'manburg were not a pleasant place, but it was a safe spot for freaks like him.

That's what everyone called him, a freak. Harsh words left scars in his memories. The kids didn't like his half white half black skin. He would wear sunglasses to hide his green and red eyes. Ranboo liked to pretend like he didn't care what other people think, but words still hurt.

"Hey, Patches!" Ranboo greeted a brown cat. Patches was always friendly towards Ranboo.

Patches trotted up to Ranboo and rubbed her face on his leg. Ranboo laughed and sat down. Patches climbed into his lap, purring. The boy pet the kitty gently, not wanting to make her mad. Patches always left fur on Ranboo's jeans, but he didn't mind. The warmth the cat radiated was nice.

Patches stood up and jumped out of Ranboo's lap.

"Where ya going Patches?" He asked.

Patches pawed at Ranboo.

"Wha?" Ranboo said. "Ya want me to follow you?"

Patches meowed. Ranboo took that as a yes. Ranboo followed the cat out of the dark alleyway. Ranboo let out a small hiss when he stepped in the sun. The streets of L'manburg were packed. Ranboo grabbed a newspaper from a stand to read while he followed patches. It seemed that there was some newfound tension between L'manburg and Dream SMP.

Patches stopped walking in front of a house. She sat down and started grooming herself.

"Patches what are we doing at someone's house?"

Patches ignored Ranboo. Ranboo sighed. He sat on the doorstep of the house, watching Patches. Why had he decided to follow at cat across the city? Gee, he would probably forget where his alleyway was.

"Hello?" A voice asked behind Ranboo.

Ranboo jumped. He teleported down to the street. Standing at the doorway was a man with blond hair, green robes, and a green and white striped bucket hat.

"Shhh... calm down mate. Whatcha doin' at my house?" The man asked.

Ranboo internally panicked. He picked up Patches and planned to make a run for it.

"Patches?" The man called out. The cat ran from Ranboo's arms and to the blond man. "Did you make a friend Patches?" He cooed at the cat.

Ranboo stood there awkwardly. He wasn't sure if he was in trouble.

"Hey kid, thanks for finding Patches. Wanna come inside?" The man asked.

Ranboo nodded. If Patches trusted the man then Ranboo did too.

The inside of the house was cozy. It was made of oak and spruce wood with carpets, paintings, and tapestries everywhere. Patches sat in front of the cobblestone fireplace in the corner. The man showed Ranboo to a leather chair by the fireplace. It was the most comfortable thing Ranboo had ever sat in.
