Runaway (Ranboo x Reader)

✧9✧

Puffy had hidden both you and Ranboo into the attic above, claiming that once they were ready, Fundy would come and retrieve you. Despite this, hours had flown by without a word, causing you to become quite fidgety with small loose objects you could find on the old carpet floor.

Occasionally you would just stare into Ranboo's glowing hues, curious as to why they exactly glowed in the first place. Being part Enderman had always made you curious as to what talents he held, from the glowing eyes and particles, perhaps he could learn to teleport if given the chance.

When you inquired him about it, he said he once went under training under an Enderman for a short time, but they could never seem to get enough power to jump a short space, leaving Ranboo without the ability to teleport like most of his kind. It didn't help that his teacher had left him a short time after- or so he said, but you couldn't help but wonder what happened to this 'Adrian' fellow he spoke of.

But the readers already knew about that story, didn't they?

Fundy's head poked out of the floor, calling you back down now that the store had been closed. The breads that once stocked the shelves had either been sold or stored away into the travelling packs Puffy and Fundy provided. Each bag had been filled to the brim with supplies needed to travel the painstakingly long journey to the holy lands.

"We're going to leave as soon as the sun settles and hopefully get a head start on the traders." Fundy threw the pack onto his back, taking a deep breath and looking at his store one last time. "I'm going to miss this place a bit."

"Me too." Puffy mumbled, hands trailing over a counter. The bakery had been their home for many years, keeping them a promise of safety and security in the city of blood-thirst traders. Now they we're leaving it in hopes of a better future altogether. "We can always start another one though! We just gotta have hope!"

The sheep hybrid bounced on her toes, opening the door and gesturing for everyone to step outside. The streets had turned dark since the sun had hidden behind the hills, stars beginning to shine across the colourful sky. Pulling on your bag, you trailed behind Fundy who began leading the way out of the city, careful to avoid any of the streets people may still be lingering on.

Time to time your group would have to stop in the allies and wait for passerby's to leave, for if any hybrid was caught wandering the streets after nightfall, they could have shackles placed along their wrists and hulled to the trades in an instant.

You passed the old abandoned building you rested in last night, heart soaring when you recalled just how long you had been free for. There was doubt before that you would be found before a day even strayed by, but now it had been two days since your escape with Ranboo, and no pirate had been seen yet. It was almost unnerving just how quickly they disappeared from your life.

No one spoke during the walk through the city, Fundy only finally letting out a rather loud sigh when he was a few steps into the forest. The frogs chirping had been loud compared to when you were in the city, the forest just as lively in the night as it was in the day.

"I can't believe we did it!" Puffy laughed, looking back to the dimly lit city behind her. Her eyes sparkled with excitement in the dark, Fundy joining her with a laugh of his own. "We finally made it out, no more threats, no more being stuck in that small building!"

The two took a moment to enjoy the newfound freedom by sprinting through the trees, careful not to be too loud. You took the chance to sit by Ranboo, who had found a fallen tree to rest by.

"It's nice to finally see them so happy." He said, watching as Fundy scaled a tree. You couldn't help but stare at him, noting how his ears twitched with each sharp noise that sounded around you, and once again your eyes trailed up to the caps on his horns.
