The character is that of a wolf hybrid, allowing them to have traits of a wolf. They have abnormal strength and speed with keen senses of smell, hearing and sight, making their nose and ears almost sensitive to anything. They are also granted with an abnormal height and the gift to shapeshift from a human/normal form to a more monstrous form.

I donât know if Iâve seen this anywhere but this is my own headcanon on the three canon lives thing the dsmp have. when their first two lives are taken, their bodies are reduced to dust and they return back to spawn or their bed, but on their last and final canon life, their body doesnât reduce to dust and they die the regular olâ way.
that is all.
âLoyaltyâ pt. 2
âDonât touch that thing, you might catch something.â
âWhat a disgusting little thing, canât it go somewhere else.â
âUgh, I wish someone would do something about that thing.â
Those were the constant words that made their way into the ears of the young wolf pup hybrid, there was nothing that didnât go unheard with his enhanced senses. No matter how irritating those words were he couldnât help but wince when they were all true. His hair was overgrown and any other patches of fur that were visible were matted, he couldnât even remember the last time he had a bath so there was a foul stench coming from him along with the dirt covering his [S/C] skin. Even his nails were overgrown and cracked with dirt beneath his nails, such an unsightly appearance. A weak growl mixed with a whimper erupted out of his throat as he clawed at the ground beneath his collapsed body, he really was pathetic that he could do nothing to make the situation he was in better. He had nothing but the worn-out clothes on his back to his nameâ name, huh? Itâs been so long since someone has called his name that he canât even remember the name his own mother gave him.
He was so alone he craved for any sort of attention; any sort of affection just to make him feel better, but what fool would take pity on this waste of life who was nothing but a bag of bones? He let out another whimper as he hung his head low, his hands resting on his head as tears of frustration finally started rolling down his cheeks. The cruel reality was bearing down on him and he just didnât want to face it, he didnât want to live in this kind of situation anymore but what can a scrawny little brat like himself do when he was nothing more than an easy target for anyone who preyed upon him? He just wanted a chance to make things right, he just wanted a chance to live a life that wasnât so pathetic.
âHey kid.â he let out a gasp at the sound of a voice, he raised his head and started to tremble at the sight of a figure looming over him. He couldnât see who it was but with their intimidating height and the horns on his head, he couldnât cease the fear in his heart as he pushed himself against the wall behind him, his ears tucking back to show his fear.
âAre you the devilâŚ?â he croaked out, his voice so dry it made him wince and start coughing, he flinches when he heard the man above him laugh.
âThe devil? Now thatâs a new one.â he comments, the boy doesnât hesitate to push himself further into the wall of the alley when the man before him knelt down, there, he was able to get a better view of the manâs face. He looked quite young, he had a scruffy beard and messy brown hair but what stood out were the goat horns and ears, another hybrid. It had been so long since heâd seen another hybrid, though the species was different, he was a hybrid nonetheless âWhat are you doing out here on your own, kid? Whereâre your parents?â at the mention of that he looked down.
â⌠my mother died, and when my father saw no value in me, he left me to rot.â he answered weakly, the goat hybrid hummed at that, squeezing his chin âIf youâre not here to ridicule me or kill me, itâs best if youâd be on your way, wouldnât want to catch a disease I might be carrying.â the man only hummed again, the boy was confused when he saw the man back away slightly only to offer his hand to him with a generous smile on his face.
âYour father is a fool to see no value in you.â
âHuh?â that generous smile turned into a smirk.
âCome with me, and I promise you, youâll be of use to me in the future.â his eyes widened slightly at that, how could this stranger know if he could be valuable or not? Such a ridiculous claim that had him sneering slightly, but his ears slowly relaxed as he stared at the hand before him, the offer was tempting but how could he trust this man? âListen, kid, donât take this offer as pity. I can and will leave you here to die if you donât decide quickly, but I know youâve got the potential to be something bigger. So, what do you say?â he swallowed thickly as he continued to stare at the hand before finally reaching forward and taking it.
âI hope you can show me how I have potential.â he laughs at that.
âIt sounded sappy, didnât it? You can just say Iâve got a good eye for valuable things.â he stands to his feet and the boy let out a yelp when he was yanked up, the man noticed this and put him down âSorry about that, youâre just a skinny little thing.â the boy let out a sigh.
âRight.â he raised his head when he noticed the man raise his hand and slip off a bland gold ring off his finger, he turns towards him and flicks it towards the boy, he opened his hands and caught the ring before looking down at it in confusion.
âThen nameâs JSchlatt , but call me Schlatt. From here on out, Iâm your owner. The ring will signify my ownership over you, so donât go losing it or else Iâll kick you to the curb, got it?â he let out a gasp as he nodded his head, Schlatt merely chuckled with a scoff before walking off, the boy gasped again as he quickly rushed after him âWhat about you? Do you gotta name, or do I have to name you?â he lowered his head once more, his ears pressing flat against his head.
âI donât remember my nameâŚâ Schlatt pursed his lips at the sound of that, what a hassle.
âHmm, well⌠how does [M/N] sound?â the boy's ears perked up at that âTake it or leave it. Iâm not particularly good at naming things so itâs either that or you go by boy.â Schlatt paused when he heard him yip, he turned around and his eyes widen softly at the sight of the small amount of joy circling in his eyes, his tail wagging softly.
âNo, no! I like it.â he looks down at his feet, holding the golden ring in his hands while his tail wagged happily âI like it a lot.â Schlatt scoffed again before walking again but was grateful that the boyâ [M/N] liked the name, and he genuinely did. He didnât favor the name his father gave him, it was a pretty half-assed name because his father could give a damn about naming a child who had no value to him. He raised his head to stare at the back of his new owner and a newfound loyalty started to swell in his chest, maybe it was the DNA of the wolf hybrid coursing through his veins that was making him behave in such a way, but he didnât care. This man saw something in him that he couldnât even see, heâs given him a chance and now he was willing to die for this man to live up to his expectations.Â
[present time, years later]
âHey, [M/N], are you even listening?â said man felt his ears twitch at the sound of his name, he slowly opened his eyes and looked around to see he was standing in the dressing room backstage awaiting their cue, he sniffled before turning his head in the direction of the voice that called his name.
âI apologize, I was simply resting my eyes.â his ears flickered a bit when the man laughed.
âYeah, that sounds more like you taking a nap.â he hums at that, he then lets out an oh when he offered him a tie âGive me a hand with that, would you? You know how bad I am at putting those things on, but I need to look professional.â he nods his head as he takes the die from his hand, approaching him swiftly.
âOf course, but at least this time you arenât swearing.â now he couldnât help but laugh at that.
âTrue, true.â it takes him no time tying that tie around his neck, heâs probably gone and done it over a hundred times that he could probably do it with his eyes closed. When it was securely tied around his neck, he nodded his head before reaching over and grabbing the blaze to his suit and handing it to him, when he puts it on, he buttons it up for him before standing behind him and the both of them stare at their reflection.
âDonât you look dapper, JSchlatt? Or should I say, Mister President?â he laughs again as he looks up at the boy standing behind him through the reflection.
âOh, please. I always look this good.â now he snorts, Schlatt smacks him in the shoulder, only to wince himself when the back of his hand was met with his sturdy body âDamn, it only feels like yesterday when you were nothing but a skinny little brat. Now look at you, youâre even bigger than me now.â it was true, looking down at himself, [M/N] now towered over Schlatt and stood at least 6âł10ft tall. His body was broad and stern that it would take another hybrid similar to him to knock him down, if not, there was no way the average person could take him down.Â
âHmm, is that why you appointed me as your bodyguard? Must I address you as sir now?â Schlatt shrugged his shoulders, pulling out a cigar from the pocket in his blazer.
âNah, call me what you want.â [M/N] nods his head, pulling out a Zippo lighter to light his cigar âActually, when weâre alone, call me Schlatt. When weâre around others, address me formally.â he nods his head, pocketing the lighter before putting his hands behind his back.
âAs you wish, Mister President.â Schlatt smirked at that, taking a puff from the cigar but blew the smoke away from [M/N], knowing how sensitive his nose was when it comes to certain smells.
âYou know, that has a nice ring to it.â
âIâll try not to wear it out, knowing how much it inflates your ego.â his smirk only widens, taking another puff from his cigar.
âDamn straight.â he rolls his eyes, Schlatt raises a brow when he notices [M/N]âs ears stand up as he turns his head towards the door to the dressing room, his tail and other tuffs of fur visible standing on end âWhatâs the matter, kid?â
âSomeone is approaching the room.â they hear a knock at the door and [M/N] was already on the door before the person could knock a second time, he throws the door open, and there stood Quackity, hand raised to knock once more but froze at the sight of the giant wolf hybrid looming over him.
âU-Uh...â before [M/N] could do anything, Schlatt hovered his hand over his chest to stop him.
âStop, itâs just Quackity. Heâs with us, remember?â Quackity gave a nervous smile as he looked up at [M/N], who snarled when he continued to stare, the duck hybrid flinched at it while Schlatt merely laughed âDonât mind him, he gets like that with people he doesnât know are around me. An overprotective dog.â [M/N] huffs as he stands up straight behind Schlatt but refused to drop his stance, Quackity just nodded his head and nervously removed his gaze from the taller man to Schlatt.
âRi-- Right.â he clears his throat then gestures behind him âTheyâre ready now.â Schlatt hums at that, [M/N] notice him raise his hand so he grabbed an ashtray and let him put out his cigar in it before tossing it away, Schlatt grins as he straightens his blazer.
âWell then, letâs get this show on the road.â he laces his fingers together before cracking his knuckles, Quackity steps to the side to allow Schlatt to walk off. He lets out a short laugh and goes to follow him but looked back to see [M/N] staring at him, he flinched at the intense glare coming from the taller man, he laughed nervously again when he heard a low growl come from him â[M/N], come!â his head perked up at the order, he glares at Quackity one last time before rushing off to where Schlatt was patiently waiting for him.
âJ-Jeez...â he shuddered out, placing a hand to his chest and feeling the rapid beating of his heart âI feel like he was going to eat me.â Schlatt looked up at [M/N] when he noticed him unconsciously lick his lips.
âDonât even think about eating him.â he snorts when he noticed him jolt up.
âI wasnât thinking that.â
âUh huh.â he pursed his lips as he looked away, he chuckles at the reaction before pulling at the collar of the blaze, he looks up at [M/N] and spread his arms so the taller man could get a good look at him âSo, how do I look?â the wolf hybrid stared at him before chuckling, shaking his head and buttoning his blazer up again and straightening his tie.
âLike you mean business, sir.â Schlatt nods at the answer, raising his arm to tug on the end of the sleeves of his dress shirt then throwing his arms out to loosen the sleeves a bit.
âGood.â they stood by the sides of the stage, still backstage away from the prying eyes of the citizens of LâManburg, and awaited their cue to go on stage to greet the crowd. [M/N] continued to stand behind Schlatt but was on guard when he sensed two individuals approaching them, he glanced to his side and noticed that it was simply Quackity and that guy with those white frame sunglasses with black tinted lenses, he didnât even bother to remember his name, maybe heâll ask Schlatt later. On the other side of the stage stood the representatives for POG2020, that being Wilbur Soot and his little brother TommyInnit, he started growling once more but stopped when Schlatt gently hit him in his chest âQuiet.â he bowed his head.
âSorry.â he chuckles softly, shaking his head.
âThereâs no worry, besides, the win is ours.â [M/N] nods his head at that.
âRight, they donât even know theyâve been had.â Schlatt smirks, theyâre all soon called onto the stage, Wilbur being the one to stand at the podium to read out the votes of the elections while Schlattâs party stood to Wilburâs right while Nikiâs party and Tommy stood to his left.
âI am now going to read out the number of votes each party has gained.â he clears his throat as he reads through the sheet of paper in his hands âWith 9% of the vote, being, 20,000 people or so. In fourth place, is Coconut2020.â there was some applause coming from the crowd as Niki and Fundy cheered.
â20,000 people!â
âThank you, Eret for your support!â [M/N] just rolled his eyes, they came forth and they lost by a landslide, so why the hell were they celebrating?
âThe pity votes.â now he couldnât help but snort, stifling his laughter at Quackityâs unexpected comment, the duck hybrid grinned when he made the usually neutral wolf hybrid laugh.
âAre you laughing, [M/N]?â Schlatt asked, rather amused that he was, he just pressed the back of his hand to his lips while shaking his head as he tried not to laugh.
âNo, I just wasnât expecting that, sir. I was caught off guard, but it was pretty funny.â the ram hybrid just chuckled at the reaction, shrugging his shoulders before turning his attention back at Wilbur while crossing his arms.
âNow, with 16% of the votes, coming in third place, is Schlatt2020.â they all whispered various comments about Schlatt, but he and his party didnât react like the people who placed third, they were rather neutral and had an indifferent reaction because they knew the outcome of that election âThat means there are two parties left. Big Q, look at me.â Quackity looked out from behind [M/N] and saw Wilbur staring at him, Schlatt gestures with his head towards Wilbur and so Quackity approaches him and now the two stood in front of each other âThis leaves the two major front runners as the final option here.â
âRight.â they both nod their heads before Wilbur turns to look at the crowd once more.
âIn second place, with 30% of the votes, is... lead by the party leader Quackity.â Tommy and the rest who were supporting him and his brother were quick to celebrate when Wilbur announced that Quackity was second place in favor of POG2020, however, Schlatt and [M/N] smirked when they saw that look of confusion and disbelief on Wilburâs face when he was having to reread the votes over and over âWait, Tommy, listen, Tommy!â
âWhat? We won didnât we?â Wilbur took a sharp inhale.
âWell, uh... two nights ago, on the night of the election, after the announcement of Schlatt2020 and Coconut2020... Quackity made a deal with the leader of Schlatt2020 and, uh, Mister Jschlatt stood beside me. Quackity said that no matter what happens, Quackity would pool SWAG2020 votes onto Schlatt2020 votes.â the crowd gasped at the announcement as Quackity took his place behind Schlatt once more, the four of them mockingly smirking at the rest of them as Wilbur read out the rest of the votes âPOG2020 got 45% of the votes, meaning that the coalition government of Schlatt2020 and SWAG2020 got 46% of the votes. Meaning that tonight, ladies and gentlemen, on Tuesday the 22nd of September 2020, Schlatt2020 has been inaugurated.â everyone gasped in shock at the way things had turned out while Schlatt and Quackity were laughing at the results, [M/N] was smiling softly and clapping his hands, as for George, he was doing the same thing but rather tiredly.
âSee, the win was ours from the beginning.â [M/N] nodded his head.
âMm hmm, had no doubts sir, thatâs why I was calling you Mister President even before the results were announced.â Schlatt grinned when he saw Wilbur swallow thickly, practically nervous under the eyes of the ram hybrid but gave him a forced smile.
âWell, u-uh, Mister JSchlatt, it was a real honor competing against you. But I-- uh, please step up to the podium and deliver your inauguration speech.â they were all promptly kicked off the stage as Schlatt took his place in front of the podium, [M/N] was behind him and glaring down at the crowd below him while Quackity stood to his right and George to his left.
âWell,â Schlatt started, tapping at the mic before leaning against the podium with a giant smirk on his face "that was pretty easy. And you know what I said the day that I got unbanned from the Dream SMP and the day I said I was running? An election that I won, by the way. I said, "Things are going to change." I looked every citizen of L'Manberg in the eyes and I said, "You listen to me: This place will be a lot different tomorrow." Let's start making it happen.â Schlatt chuckled at the looks he was getting from the crowd, he turned back to [M/N] for a brief second to nod at him before finishing off the rest of his speech, the taller man understood and got himself ready âMy first decree as the president of L'Manberg - the EMPEROR of this great country - is to REVOKE the citizenship of Wilbur Soot and TommyInnit!â the crowd immediately went into hysterics at the announcement.
âWhat?!â
âNO!!â
âNo way!â
âIs he serious?!â Schlatt looks back at [M/N] and saw he pulled at his Firework Launcher, George and Quackity notice this and pull out their bows, Schlatt just laughs maniacally before throwing his arm out.
âGet them out of here! Get them out of here! You're no longer welcome!â [M/N], whoâs face was indifferent, pushed Schlatt behind him and knelt down while he aimed the rocket in the direction of where Wilbur and Tommy were standing, finger on the trigger and eyes locked on.
âYes, sir.â pulling the trigger, the crowd immediately dispersed to avoid the rocket while Wilbur and Tommy turned tails and ran, however, [M/N] didnât stop and continued to fire rockets at them while George and Quackity shot arrows at them, one actually managing to hit the two and lodge into the back of Wilburâs shoulder as they fled. George and Quackity lowered their bows while [M/N] raised his crossbow, his keen eyes continuing to scan the area until a hand was gently placed on his shoulder.
âThatâs enough, you did your job splendidly, [M/N].â his ears went flat against his head at the praise before standing to his feet, returning to his place behind Schlatt âOh, that was so easy! Until further notice, Wilbur Soot and TommyInnit are merely a memory of L'Manberg. A relic of the past. A reminder of the darkest era this country has ever seen. And I guarantee you all, dear citizens... Tonight, that changes. We are entering into a new period of L'Manberg, a period of prosperity! Of strength! Of unity!â [M/N] smiled and clapped his hands gently once more, he then went on a rant and saw that he was going to lower the taxes and even fill the fountains up with Hawaiian Punch.
âSeriously?â he whispered to the ram, he just shrugged.
âMeh, it was in the spur of the moment, but Iâm gonna do it anyway.â the wolf shrugged his shoulders and leaned back âAnyways, Tubbo? Whereâs Tubbo?â the boy raised his hand from within the crowd.
âIâm right here.â
âTubbo, get up here! Get up here on my podium.â now [M/N] was confused, why on earth was Schlatt calling up Tommyâs friend? âDonât you want the job?â Quackity snickers as he leaned towards Schlatt.
âI donât think he wants the job.â Tubboâs eyes widened as he stood up from where he was sitting with a panicked expression.
âN-No, no! Iâm on my way.â he sputtered out repeatedly while trying to find a way up to where they were standing, when he managed to climb up to the stage, after repeatedly dying to fall damage, he stood nervously beside Schlatt while trying to avoid looking at [M/N], who was snarling while glaring at him.
âStop it.â he scolded, the man huffed as he looked away âTubbo, you, as my secretary of state, as my right hand man of LâManburg!â Schlatt ignored the whine coming from [M/N] when he said that, he sighed and gave the man a look before smiling down at the younger boy âI need you to do something for me, Tubbo.â
âWhat Mister President?â
âI need you, to find Tommy and I need you, to show him the door. Rumor has it, heâs somewhere around. Perhaps, uh, perhaps on top of a building.â at the mention of that, [M/N] turned his head to the right and saw on top of the tower was a frightened Wilbur and standing beside, though he couldnât see because of the potion, was undoubtedly Tommy, probably with an expression just as frightened as his âTubbo, bring them here at once.â [M/N] looked away from the tower as he looked down at Tubbo, he looked hesitant to do Schlattâs bidding, I mean, of course, he would, he was going against his best friend and the man he previously fought a war with.
âI-I...â Tubbo looked up and paled when [M/N] glared at him, he swallowed thickly before nodding his head âIâll do my best, Mister President.â [M/N] relaxed at that and turned away, Schlatt smiled as he pats Tubbo on the shoulder.
âGood, now, you best be on your way. Go get 'em.â he nodded his trembling head before rushing off, Schlatt grinned as he straightened his tie and waved at the people, [M/N] pursed his lips as he leaned down to whisper in his ear.
âWhy didnât you send me, sir? You know Iâm better at tracking than anyone else, it was illogical to send him.â Schlatt only chuckled, turning around and gently patting [M/N] on the cheek.
âYeah, I know that, but youâre my bodyguard. Your job is to stay by my side and protect me from potential dangers, and I canât exactly have my bodyguard leave my side just to gather a bunch of rats.â he gave him a smile âIâm counting on you to protect me from here on out, thatâs your first order from me as the President. Donât disappoint me.â at that, [M/N] had stopped listening to Schlatt ramble on about other things he had planned for LâManburg as his heart thumped in his chest once more. He hadnât felt like this ever since Schlatt had first picked him up when he was just a little cub, this feeling of loyalty swelling in his chest for this man, he smile with a newfound resolve as he stood behind Schlatt with a prideful gaze.
He was going to carry out that order until his last breath.
[a few days later]
âMa-- Manberg, sir? Youâre going to change LâManberg to Manberg?â [M/N] asked, reading through the papers Schlatt had handed to him in confusion, he lowered the papers as he stared at the man âWhy? LâManberg sounds fine as is.â Schlatt merely laughs, leaning back in his seat as he holds a glass of whiskey, spinning the glass around with his wrist and watching the liquid sway before looking at his bodyguard.
âWell, this country no longer takes any Lâs.â Schlatt grinned when he got the man to snicker at that, he downs the whiskey as he lets [M/N] read through the other decrees he thought of. The first one was obvious, it was revoking Wilbur and Tommyâs citizenship to LâMan-- oh, no, Manberg. The second was to remove the walls surrounding the country that were built since the beginning, the third was renaming LâManberg to Manberg because he claimed the country isnât taking Lâs anymore. [M/N] scoffed with a laugh, shaking his head when he saw that Schlatt wanted to replace many of the longstanding structures of the city with tall apartment buildings and a monument of himself.
âReally? A monument of yourself? Quite egotistical, donât you think?â Schlatt laughed at that, throwing his head back as he placed his empty glass on his desk.
âWhat? Donât you think itâll give this country a nice touch to it?â
âWhatever makes you happy, sir.â he shuffles through the rest of the papers but he stopped when his eyes landed on the last one, Schlatt watched as he furrowed his brows as he read through it âYou want to raise the taxes, but only for the female residents of Manberg? Sir, you do realize that Niki Nihachu is the only woman residing in Manberg, right?â he chuckles.
âOf course I know. Because I kicked her friends out, sheâs been acting out and even stood up to me at one point.â he slams his hand on his desk and glared at [M/N], though the latter was not affected by the gaze because he knew that it wasnât directed at him âIâm just putting her in her place so she learns not to go against my authority.â he hums, eyeing the page carefully before looking at Schlatt once more.
âAre you sure? This isnât going to look good for you, makes you seem prejudice against women.â Schlatt waves his hand to dismiss the thought.
âYouâre overthinking it, kid. Youâre simply not looking at the bigger picture!â [M/N] raised a brow.
âAnd that would be?â Schlatt looked at him before looking away.
âIâm still imagining the picture kid, donât put me on the spot like that.â he snorted at the response he got, he lets out a breath as he rearranged the papers once more before bowing his head.
âWell, Iâll leave you to your duties and hand these to Vice President Quackity.â the older man nods his head, swiveling in his chair before raising his hand and motioning for [M/N] to come. The man looked at him in confusion before approaching him from behind his desk, he leaned forward before jolting up, his ears and tail shooting upwards when Schlatt placed his hand on top of his head and gently pat his head.
âI really do appreciate you sticking by my side throughout the years, kid, never forget that.â [M/N] raised his head, Schlatt laughed when he noticed that his pupils had blown out as his tail was wagging behind him. He remembered he would always do that to him when he was a kid and it really pleased the kid, [M/N] stood up straight with a flushed face as he pressed his hand to where Schlattâs hand previously was.
âI-I...â he couldnât even say anything, he was just too flustered, Schlatt had to hold back his laughter when [M/N] turned tail and ran, nearly tripping over but instead slammed into the door before throwing it up and slamming it shut behind him. [M/N] had his back pressed to the door as he tried to calm himself down, he just couldnât stop smiling, he always did enjoy getting praised by Schlatt, maybe that was the wolf side of him that made him react like this. He took a deep breath, shaking his head and running a hand through his hair to straighten it out, when he composed himself, he slapped on his straight face before walking down the hall to where Quackityâs office was.
âHey, [M/N]!â his ears perked up at the call and he looked over to see Fundy waving his hand, he narrowed his eyes on him to remember what his place was in the White House. Um, if he remembered hard enough, Schlatt said that he was the... Archbishop/Right hand man? He really couldnât be bothered remembering all these names that meant nothing to him, though, he did stop so Fundy could approach him, with caution, of course. Fundy knew how vicious [M/N] was with people who werenât Schlatt, he really was just Schlattâs hound dog that wouldnât hesitate to carry out any of his orders, no matter how malicious they were.
âWhat do you need, sir?â he answered, Fundy laughed as he shook his head and pat him on the arm.
âCome on now, since weâre working together, donât you think you should drop the formalities? Weâre friends, arenât we?â Fundy flinched when he noticed [M/N] was glaring at the hand that was touching him, he laughed nervously as he removed his hand.
âFriends?â he questioned, holding the papers in one hand, he raised the other to wipe his arm where Fundy had touched him âI donât remember us becoming such a feat. Weâre nothing more than associates, nothing more, nothing less.â he awkwardly laughed at that when the taller man kept a stern look on his face as he stared him down.
âAh haha, r-right.â [M/N] sighed, rolling his eyes.
âAnyways, do you know where the Vice President is? Mister JSchlatt asked me to deliver these papers to him so he could take a look at them.â Fundyâs ears perked up at that.
âQuackity?â he then pointed off in a direction âHeâs currently in his office with George.â he nods his head at the information.
âThank you, and with that, Iâll be on my way.â he was polite enough to bid the fox hybrid goodbye before leaving him, it didnât take long for the man to reach Quackityâs door and so he politely knocked on the door and waited to be let in.
âOh, come in!â he heard the voice from within the office, he pushed open the door and there he saw Quackity sitting on his desk while talking to George âOh, itâs you, [M/N]. What brings you here?â he raises the papers in his hand as he approaches the two.
âThe President asked me to hand these to you. He wants you to read through them before handing them back to him, saying that he also wants your opinion on what he wants to do to this country.â Quackity nods as he takes the papers from [M/N]âs hands, giving them a brief skim through before setting them down on the desk beside him.
âAlright.â
âHe would appreciate an immediate response because he would like those decrees to happen immediately. I donât wish to rush you, but the President gets quite fussy when people make him wait.â Quackity nods his head once more at that.
âGot it, Iâll try and have it done before later tonight.â [M/N] bows his head at that.
âMuch appreciated, Mister Vice President.â he then bows his head to George âAmbassador. Have a good day gentlemen.â with that he took his leave and returned to his post in front of Schlattâs office door, no one was to come in without him mentally noting down who it was that entered and who left. Anyone that passed by was impressed that he never moved from his spot, didnât fidget or twitch, he only made a reaction when someone was approaching before turning them away when Schlatt didnât want to see them.
âU-Um, excuse me?â he raised his brow as he looked down, there, he saw a nervous looking Tubbo waving his hand to try and get his attention âSchlatt told me to meet him in his office, telling me he had a job for me.â [M/N] furrowed his brows before looking up in thought, he did remember him mentioning that Tubbo was going to meet him later in the day, so he nodded his head.
âRight.â he opened to door and looked over at where Schlatt was âSir, Tubbo is here as you wished.â Schlatt raised his head at the announcement, a grin on his face as he stood up from his desk.
âWonderful, wonderful! Let him in, why donât you?â [M/N] nodded his head before stepping to the side and gesturing with his arms for Tubbo to enter the room, when he walked in he was planning on closing the door behind and wait outside the room but stopped when he noticed Schlatt give him a look that told him to stay. He glanced back at Tubbo before nodding his head and stepping into the room, closing the door behind him and standing in front of the door, and let the two talk. He didnât bother listening to the conversation, it really wasnât anything that concerned him, it was the usual political bullshit that Schlatt pulled out of his ass while using different tactics to intimidate and frighten the child into submission, to which it worked because Tubbo could barely look him in the eye. Only when he heard Schlatt mention Tubboâs first job did he ask him to do, was when [M/N] started to listen âI thought I told you to find Tommy and bring him here, Tubbo.â the boy swallowed thickly.
âI-Iâm trying, really, Schlatt.â he licks his lips âTheyâre not here in LâManberg--â
âItâs Manberg, Tubbo.â he raised his head in shock at what Schlatt had said âBecause you didnât know that I was changing it, Iâll let it slide just this one time. I hope there wonât be any more slip-ups.â he nods his head.
âR-Right.â he takes a breath to calm himself âAnyways, theyâre not here in Manberg, sir. I donât know where else they could have gone.â Schlatt hummed at that, circling him while clicking his tongue.
âThat is not the answer I wanted, Tubbo. You know him better than anyone, so I expected you to find them first.â he then gestures to [M/N], Tubbo looked over at the wolf hybrid and saw he had his neutral expression on his face â[M/N] is my most trusted companion, heâs been with me for a long time so I know him like the back of my hand, as he is with me.â Tubbo nods his head.
âYeah...?â Tubbo stands in his spot as he watched Schlatt approach the man, dragging his hand across his shoulders before wrapping an arm around his torso and leaning his weight into his body.
âSo I know how great of a tracker he is, as well as a hunter.â Tubbo flinched, know understanding where he was going âHe is a wolf hybrid, a grey wolf at that, making him an apex predator, meaning that he is at the very top of the food chain. When heâs got a whiff of your scent, itâs all over, there isnât a place on this earth that you can hide and he wonât be able to find you.â he nods slowly.
âT-That sounds like a really good assist, sir.â he nods.
âIt is.â he then leaves [M/N]âs side as twirls around the room, throwing his arms open before pointing at Tubbo âNow you must be thinking, why I didnât send [M/N] off to find your pesky little friend and that former President? Well, itâs simple. I donât want him to leave my side, heâs the one person I trust with my life and I donât want him to go off just to do a trivial job. Thatâs why I left it to you, because you know your friend Tommy better than anyone else, so you must know what heâs planning.â
âI... I--â
âTubbo, listen.â Schlatt was by Tubboâs side, wrapping an arm around him and leaning down close to his face âIâm going to tell you this one last time so you can get the job done right, okay? Go and find Tommy and kill him, or else Iâll send [M/N] to get the job done right, and I know neither of us wants that. He can be quite merciless when it comes down to doing hunting jobs to the point that even I canât tell him to stop. He does a messy job, but at least he can get it done.â Tubbo was really being put on the spot at that point, he hasnât seen what [M/N] is capable of, and he really doesnât want to find out either.
âI...â he lowers his head âI understand, Mister President.â Schlatt smiled at the response, raising his hands to let him go.
âWonderful! Iâm so glad to hear that.â he pats Tubboâs back and raises his arm to direct him to the door âNow that you understand what happens if you donât do your job properly, off you go. Report anything you find to [M/N], okay?â he nods.
âGot it.â with that he leaves the room, [M/N] goes to follow him out but was stopped when Schlatt grabbed his arm.
âBefore you go,â he raised a brow when he noticed his expression darkened âkeep an eye on him, wonât you?â [M/N] only smirked, showing off his canines.
âI was going to do that whether you ordered me or not.â he cracked his knuckles as the other man laughed.
âRight, that is so you.â he takes a breath as he leans against his desk âKeep your friends close and your enemies closer, eh?â [M/N] salutes him.
âYes sir.â
[weeks later]
âYouâre... married?â [M/N] questioned as he looked at Schlatt and Quackity in confusion, the latter looked proud of the accomplishment while the former looked just as confused as he did âWe-- Well... congrats?â he lets out a confused whine as he tilted his head to the side, he scratches the back of his neck as he tried to continue his work but the fact that Schlatt got married to this... guy, really rattled him.
âDonât think about it, even I donât understand why he wanted to marry me.â Schlatt said as he waved Quackity goodbye, to which the duck hybrid waved his hand enthusiastically before running down the hallway, [M/N] pursed his lips as he looked down at the golden ring on his finger before glancing away âAnyways, howâs keeping an eye on Tubbo been lately?â he asked, the both of them entering his office to speak about the matter privately.
âAs youâve instructed, I continue to make quick observations on him whenever he comes and goes. When heâs around others heâs calm and relaxed, but that persona immediately drops when heâs around me, sir.â
âMaybe thatâs because you scare the kid, pup.â he laughs when [M/N] flushes at the pet name, it had been a long time since he called him that, he cleared his throat âSorry, continue, please.âÂ
âThank you, anyways, as I was saying, heâs always on edge whenever heâs around you or me.â he raises a hand as he taps his cheek âHeâs gone frequently during the day as well, sometimes I ask Fundy where Tubbo goes and he doesnât know, not even Quackity. George is no help, heâs never around or heâs always asleep, so heâs completely in the dark. But the times he passes by me, I take a whiff of his scent and I smell rubble, gun powder, oddly potatoes, and something else that I just canât place.â
âDo you think heâs purposely covering his scent to throw you off?â he purses his lips.
âPerhaps, but Iâm close, I can feel it.â Schlatt nods his head.
âAlright, when you manage to find something, I give you permission to leave my side and follow after him.â [M/N]âs eyes opened at what he said.
âP-Pardon? You want me to... leave your side?â Schlatt rolled his eyes at the reaction he gave him, he knew he was going to react like this, knowing how protective this damned mutt can get when he isnât by his side.
âYouâre the only one I trust to accomplish this job, [M/N]. Youâre efficient at what you do, so be quick. Get in, and get out before they notice and return to me with the results I want, okay? Youâre the only one that wonât be able to mess this up, yeah?â [M/N] was hesitant, of course, he was, he fiddled with the hem of his dress shirt as he kept his head low. Schlatt let out a sigh as he stared at the man before him, he would always do that whenever he was nervous, he still hasnât changed from when he was just a kid âCome on now, stop being so worried, Iâll be fine.â
â... really?â he nods his head.
âOf course, Iâll be waiting for you here, mmkay?â he takes his hands and gently pats his head, laughing when he saw his tail wagging behind him.
âO... Okay.â he soon pats his arm.
âThatâs the spirit! Oh, would you look at that, I have a meeting to get to with someone important.â he rolls his neck as his hands slip away from [M/N], to which the man quickly straightened himself out before following Schlatt out. Many things had occurred since the day he had become President, he ordered Fundy to burn down the LâManberg flag and to create a new Manberg flag made of obsidian and crying obsidian to make it harder to control, he banished Niki from Manberg after refusing to pay her taxes and had every other resident of Manberg to raid her bakery and steal everything she owned, so now she owned nothing. [M/N] felt a bead of sweat form on his cheek as he listed every bad/horrible deed Schlatt had done to the country, making him look even worse than he did in the beginning. He wasnât going to admit it, though he totally would, he knew if Schlatt continued with the path he was going down... he wasnât going to die an easy death âAh, weâre here. Theyâre already inside, so I want you to stay out here and keep anyone looking for me out, okay?â [M/N] nodded his head.
âAs you wish, sir.â he winks before throwing the doors open then letting them close behind him, with that, [M/N] turned around and kept his back to the door. With his hands behind his back, he kept his posture and expressionless face on as he watched people walk by, some greeted him and he greeted them back briefly. He wasnât really paying attention to how much time had gone by but his ears did go up when he saw Tubbo approach him.
âHey, [M/N], is Schlatt in there?â he nods his head.
âYeah, heâs having a meeting with someone and told me to keep anyone looking for him out. Must be really important.â Tubbo nods his head.
âOh, okay. Then I guess Iâll wait out here with you if thatâs alright.â he shrugged his shoulder.
âDo what you want.â Tubbo nods again before proceeding to stand beside the taller man, he rolled his neck as he fixed his stance until his nose twitched. An unknown scent caught his attention and so he sniffed the air to catch a whiff of the scent once more before it disappeared, soon his head moved down to where Tubbo was standing and the younger boy was looking up at him in confusion.
âU-Um, [M/N], what are you--âÂ
*SNEEZE*
Tubbo was taken aback at the loud sneeze coming from the man, it was completely unexpected that he jumped in surprise before he approached [M/N], backing away when he sneezed again.
âNo, go away!â he shouts âWhy do you smell like pollen?! Why the hell are you even covered in that shit from head to toe?!â he shouts, sneezing again and covering his nose so he wouldnât pick up the smell of pollen.
âYou can smell the pollen off of me?â he questioned.
âOf course I can, I have a sensitive nose and I can pick up on various smells, dammit!â he shouts, sniffling and rubbing his nose when his nose started getting runny. Though that part was true, he caught wind of Tommyâs scent as well, though his meeting with the small child was brief, he has a memory bank of all the different types of smells he had smelt in the past. He just had to find a reason to cover up the fact that he was blatantly smelling Tubbo, thank god for his hay fever. Tubbo was still quite taken aback by [M/N]âs reaction but he was in a state of panic that he forgot how good his sense of smell was, how on earth could he forget, he just felt fortunate enough that he was playing in a field of flowers with bees that he was covered in pollen to fool him.
âO-Oh, um, sorry?â he apologized questionably, handing him a handkerchief to blow his nose.
âJust-- please go away, I beg.âÂ
âYe-- right! I can just show this to Schlatt later!â he exclaims before running away, he blew his nose in the handkerchief, grimacing at the amount of snot on it before folding it up and pocketing it then running his finger under his nose to control him.
âHey,â he shrieked at the voice from behind him, turning around, he saw Schlatt cracking open the doors by a bit to peek his head through âwhat was all that noise about?â he sniffed.
âTubbo was here waiting for you, but he was covered in pollen when I tried sniffing him and I started sneezing.â Schlatt nodded his head.
âAh, your hay fever.â he nods, he goes to enter the office once more but couldnât when [M/N] places his foot in between the doors to stop him, he then leans down to whisper in his ear.
âBut I did manage to smell Tommy off of him.â now this caused Schlattâs blood to run cold for a bit before it started to boil, though, he managed to keep his composure as he smiled up at [M/N].
âYou know what to do.â he bows his head.
âOf course.â he waited until his meeting was over to take Schlatt back to his office, he looked into the room Schlatt was in and briefly saw the color green but ignored it to take Schlatt back. When he safely returned to his office, he nodded his head to him before closing the door behind the man then turning on his heel to find where that little bastard had slipped off to his. His gaze caught the sight of Quackity, who was flaunting his wedding wing to Fundy, who just looked downright confused âExcuse me, Quackity, Fundy!â he called out, the two raised their heads and Quackity greeted him enthusiastically while Fundy was still nervous under his eyes.
âHey, [M/N]!â he cheered.
âY-Yeah, hey.â Fundy added, [M/N] only sighed.
âYes, hello. I was just wondering if you two knew where Tubbo was, he was waiting for the President beside me when he was having a meeting with someone else before he ran off when he realized he was the cause of my little... accident.â he sniffled once more âAnyways, the President has returned to his office and I was wondering if you knew where he was so I can tell him that heâs free now.â Fundy let out a hum as he looked up in thought.
âWell, I havenât seen him in the past hour, he said that he was going out on a stroll.â Quackity nodded.
âI saw him go east from where the White House is, saying he wanted to collect some bees before talking to Schlatt. If you hurry, youâll probably catch up to him.â he notes, [M/N] nodded his head to what they said.
âThanks.â they bid him adieu as he walked off, when he was outside the White House, he stretched his arms and legs, crouching down a couple times before turning his body east from where the White House was before kneeling down and pressing the tips of his fingers onto the ground. He bends his knees as the soles of his feet dig into the ground, with that, he shot forward and sprinted off to find Tubbo. It was a little difficult because he could smell the pollen mixed in with his scent but as Schlatt had said, once heâs got a whiff of your scent, thereâs nowhere you could hide on this earth that he wouldnât be able to find you. He launched himself into the air before catching himself in the trees of a forest somewhere outside of the borders of the Dream SMP, he landed on the ground before sprinting forward, however, he didnât know how long he was going to have to search to find anything suspicious but then he came to the opening by a hill.
He raised a brow at the sight of a small dirt shack embedded within a hill, he tilts his head to the side before approaching it. He opens the door and looks around in confusion before inhaling the lingering scents within the shack, now he smelt an assortment of different scents. He was onto them, the shack had a bed, a couple chests with furnaces, and other things but what he saw that really mattered was an opening that was leading underground. He rolled his neck, planning to go down it but stopped when he saw a dog.
â...â
â...â
âHey.â he greeted, raising a hand, he smiled when it gave him a cheerful yip in return, he ruffled its head before heading down. He soon found himself in a ravine, looking around, it was mostly a system of caves, made of stone and wooden stairways with torches along the walls. He pursed his lips when he saw a huge potato field... now that explained the smell of potatoes, he scoffed, such a downgrade, he thought to himself before crouching down when he heard voices. He drank an Invisibility Potion before peeking his head down and there he saw Tubbo talking to Wilbur, Tommy, and some piglin hy-- oh, shit. He recognized that piglin hybrid, the Blood God Technoblade, an anarchistic pig, now he was going to be a problem.
âIâm sorry Wilbur, I panicked and came here as fast as I could.â Wilbur shook his head as he held Tubboâs shoulders.
âThat doesnât matter, just tell us what happened.â he let out a sigh.
âI think I nearly got caught.â Tommy was up on his feet immediately, he shoved Wilbur away as he checked Tubbo all over.
âWhat? Did they hurt you? Are you okay?â he shook his head to wave Tommy off.
âIâm fine, itâs just that Schlattâs bodyguard.â now this caught their attention, Tubbo told them how troublesome his bodyguard is, Tubbo could never get close to Schlatt without [M/N] being in the same room sneering down at anyone that thought they could touch him. Not only that but because he was a wolf and that if he even caught a whiff of their scent he would be on them immediately and Tubboâs job as a spy for Pogtopia would be exposed.
âWhat did he do?âÂ
âI had work to show to Schlatt but couldnât because he was in a meeting, course [M/N] was also waiting outside the door as he usually did and this time I decided to wait beside him. But he suddenly started sniffing me, I panicked there and then but before I could do anything he started sneezing.â Tommy snickered at that.
âSneezing? Why?â Technoblade questioned.
âI was covered in pollen and he said he had hay fever.â Tommy was laughing now, this caused [M/N] to purse his lips at that the boy who was laughing at him âI think the fact that he has hay fever saved my butt, who knows what wouldâve happened if I didnât play with the bees.â Technoblade now rolled his eyes.
âYeah, sure. I thought we warned you to roll in the dirt or have a shower after you visit us, that guy is our problem. The moment you get caught, weâre all in trouble.â he scolds before freezing, pulling out an axe from his inventory and throwing it over his shoulder.
âWhat? Whatâs the matter, Techno?â Wilbur asked, watching the anarchist on alert as he looked around.
âI smell a dog.â [M/N] huffs while the others freeze.
âDog? Now thatâs rude.â he shakes his head, he got what he needed so he no longer needed to stay, he goes to stand to his feet but winced when he noticed that when he shuffled his feet a couple rocks fell, he then fell to the ground to avoid the axe that was thrown at him âJesus!â
"You led him to us!â he shouts, he goes to pull out another weapon but paused when he heard a bark, they all look up and see that it was simply the same dog that [M/N] passed on his way into Pogtopia.
âHeh, youâre overreacting, itâs just LâMandog.â [M/N] was silently crying when this damned dog came out of nowhere and saved his skin, [M/N] knew he was strong, strong enough to handle the three and Technoblade if he was alone, but there was no way he could take on those three and Technoblade at the same time, that was too much. He silently thanked the dog before rolling away and rushing out of that ravine, Technoblade looked back over at the spot he threw his axe before looking at Tubbo.
âYou should stay away from Pogtopia for a couple days, Tubbo. Weâll wait till this all blows over and if he acts out of place, then weâll know.â Tubbo slowly nodded his head.
âYeah... yeah, okay. I donât want you guys getting hurt just because of my slip up.â Tommy grinned, giving his friend and thumbs up.
âDonât worry, Tubbo, everything will be fine.â
[the next day]
âA festival?â Quackity questioned, putting down the sheet of paper Schlatt had handed to him and the other members of his cabinet. They were all in the meeting discussing Schlattâs upcoming event for Manberg which was going to be a festival, but they were all confused as to why he was pulling such a stunt, they couldnât find a reason as to why he was throwing a festival. [M/N] was also in the room so they look over at him to see his reaction, Schlatt tells the man everything, so he must know whatâs going on... instead, they saw him scrunch his face up in confusion as he continued to stand behind him, whispering festival under his breath âW-Wha... what for, sir?â he laughed, throwing his arms back.
âCanât we throw a festival to celebrate? Itâll be in the name of democracy.â [M/N] pulled a face as he leaned down to whisper in his ear.
âBut you are against democracy, sir.â he shrugged his shoulders, smacking the back of his hand against his chest.
âOh, lighten up, will you?â [M/N] sighed before standing up straight, wiping his chest where Schlatt had smacked him before rolling his shoulders and looking at the other three who were attending the meeting, maybe he should kick George just to make him come to at least one meeting âAnyways, I am placing Tubbo in charge of the planning.â said boy jolted in his seat before looking over at Schlatt in shock.
âM-Me?! Why?â he grinned at the young boy.
âOther than Fundy and Quackity, youâre the person I trust the most with such an important event, plus I believe youâll be pretty decent in coming up with plans for the festival.â they hear a whine and look over at [M/N], jumping in surprise when they saw his ears dropping down, his bottom lip trembling. He then leans down once more, grabbing Schlatt by the shoulder while pointing at himself.
âW-What about me? Donât you trust me enough, sir?â he rolls his eyes, smacking [M/N]âs hand off his shoulder as he pulled a cigar out of his pocket and puts it to his lips, letting Quackity light it.
âYou canât plan for shit, I know that from experience.â they sweat drop when they saw him turn around and start sulking, Schlatt took a puff from his cigar before waving his hand âIâm trusting you, Tubbo, to set the whole event up and I am also giving you the role as a key speaker.â Tubbo swallowed thickly at that before nodding his head.
âOkay, I wonât let you down, Mister President!â he felt nervous when Schlatt smiled at him.
âI know you wonât.â Tubbo shuddered, not really knowing how to take that last comment, soon, Schlatt stood to his feet as he straightened his blazer before snapping his fingers, causing [M/N] to snap out of his sulking and have him straighten his posture âThatâs all we have to discuss, [M/N], come.â
âComing.â with that the two of them left, and when they were alone, [M/N] immediately dropped the confused face âDo you think they fell for it?â he questioned, Schlatt laughed as he took another puff his from cigar before letting it hang from his lips so he could look up at [M/N].
âWithout a doubt, pup.â he throws his arms up and lets them rest behind his head, lacing his fingers together as he walked down the hallways of the White House âI never knew you had a thing for acting, fooled them pretty good.â Schlatt laughed when he saw [MN] raise his head, his nose comically becoming pointed and longer.
âPerks of knowing how to lie on the spot, sir.â he rolls his shoulders âAll I really need is to not act up in front of Tubbo, once he notices something wrong with me, heâll tell Wilbur and his lot that weâre on to them.â Schlatt nods his head and gently knocks on his chest.
âThen act like you usually do, a lost puppy following his owner.â [M/N] briefly stopped in his tracks at what Schlatt called him, practically calling him out, his tail gets tucked between his legs before he chased after him when he noticed the distance growing between the two when Schlatt continued to walk.
âH-Hey! Iâm not lost.âÂ
âSo you admit youâre a puppy?â his cheeks flush pink from embarrassment.
âPlease stop teasing me, sir.â Schlatt only chuckles.
Surprisingly, the preparations for the festival went rather smoothly. Tubbo kept a watchful eye on [M/N] just in case there really was something underhanded going on with the festival but the latter made no moves that were deemed suspicious. The only times the wolf interfered with the planning was when Schlatt ordered him to help with heavy lifting or to input his own opinions and thoughts to the plan, to which he was more than reluctant to do such a thing. Sometimes [M/N] would make sure there was some decent distance between the two of them in case Tubbo was playing in a field of flowers or with bees again just so his hay fever doesnât act up while heâs working, it would be such a hassle.
âUm, what do you think of this, [M/N]?â Tubbo asked, showing the man a design for one of the decorations. He stood nervously in front of the taller man, trembling slightly when he stared intensely at the design for what seemed like a hot minute before leaning away and giving him a thumbs up.
âItâs not bad, but remember to keep the flow consistent throughout the entire design, okay? Youâre going with a simplistic theme, right? Thereâs no need to overdo the decorations, it looks fine as is. Youâre doing a good job.â Tubbo was taken aback at the feedback he got from him, he wasnât really expecting it but he did appreciate it.
âT-Thank you for the input, [M/N]! Iâll take that into consideration.â [M/N] merely nods his head, giving him another thumbs up before watching the younger boy rush off to get the things he had in mind ordered. He glanced down at his hand and watched it relax before it slowly closed into a tight fist, poor kid, he was a pretty decent kid and it almost made him feel bad when he knew about what was going to happen to him during the festival.
Almost.
[day of the manberg festival]
âGot to hand it to him, he did a wonderful job.â [M/N] murmured under his lips, clapping his hands as he saw the festival come to life. Many people had come to attend such a wonderful day, even the few who were previously banished from Manberg. [M/N] stood to the side as he scanned the area where the festival was taking place for anything suspicious but he also where he still had a clear view of where Schlatt was, he sniffed the air for the lingering scents of Wilbur and Tommy, scrunching his face up when he could just faintly sniff them out but he couldnât spot them âTheyâre somewhere... I can feel it.â
âWhoâs here?â he looked down to see that it was Quackity that asked him, [M/N] merely scoffed as he straightened his posture, crossing his arms as he continued to scan the crowd of happy people.
âRats.â Quackity rolled his eyes as he elbowed [M/N]âs arm, which promptly earned him a snarl from the taller man, only for him to ignore it as he laughed and ate some of the food that was provided for the festival. Quackity had long gotten over his slight fear of [M/N], growing used to the glares, snarls, sneers, growls, and scowls that he could touch him and get away with it. Maybe it was the fact that he was married to Schlatt that [M/N] eased up on him... maybe-- hopefully âAnyways, how long till the President gives his speech? He told me he had it planned to start a few hours after the festival began.â he waved his hand nonchalantly.
âHmm, maybe in half an hour.â he offered some of his food to [M/N], to which he raised his hand to block it from getting anywhere close to his face as he shook his head to deny he wanted any, Quackity shrugged as he nibbled on his food âSchlatt also told me to tell you that he wants you to enjoy the festival too.â [M/N]âs ears perked up at that as he looked down at Quackity.
âWhat?â he nods his head.
âUh huh. He told me to tell you, saying that even though you know whatâs going to happen today, he still wants you to enjoy the evening. Whatever that means.â he explained with another shrug of the shoulders, he purses his lips as he glanced over at Schlatt, it took a bit of time for the older man to notice his glancing but when he did, he smiled softly and gave him a thumbs up along with a nod.
âReally?â Quackity looked up at him and raised a brow when he saw a soft blush flush across his face âHe remembered...â he whispered softly.
âHe remembered what?â he glared down at the latter.
âYouâre really nosey, you know that?â he laughs.
âIt just shows that I care.â he rolled his eyes as he began to walk away.
âYet I do not care for you.â with that he left Quackity alone to sulk at the harsh statement, he wandered around the festival trying to find something that would preoccupy himself before the main event started. He didnât really participate in any of the attractions that the festival offered nor eat any of the food... well, maybe he did swipe a couple candy apples that were selling. A soft smile spread across his lips as he munched on the treats before looking up at the sky, he liked festivals because he remembered when Schlatt took him to one when he was just a kid.
âI wonder if we werenât trying to execute that kid, maybe heâd enjoy the festival with me like he did when I was a child. My fondest memory with him.â he thought, hearing the sound of his laughter ringing in the back of his head as the memory played out in his head... oh, he could only wish to go back to the good old days where he hadnât had to worry about getting stabbed in the back.
<JSchlatt> whispers to you: hey, kid, where are you?
He let out an oh when he saw the message pop up in the lower left side of his vision, he let out a hum as he expanded the message board and read through the message Schlatt had sent him.
You whisper to <JSchlatt>: just enjoying the festival like you told quackity to tell me, sir.
<JSchlatt> whispers to you: you having fun?
You whisper to <JSchlatt>: quite frankly, I am.
<JSchaltt> whispers to you: good, but right now, I need you to come back to my side. Iâm about to start.
You whisper to <JSchlatt>: Iâm on my way.
âHmm.â [M/N] stood to his feet immediately, though he did look down at his candy apple before opening his mouth wide enough and chomping down on it, eating it completely before taking the stick out of his mouth and jogging away, throwing the stick behind him and it actually landing in a trash bin. He was in the middle of making his way back to the stage where it was going to happen when he accidentally walked into someone, he caught them by their arm before the both of them could stumble to the ground and helped straighten them up âOh, I apologize for walking into you.â he says, when the person looks at him, his eyes widened briefly, but not enough for them to notice his shock.
âOh, fuck.â in front of him was none other than the Blood God himself, Technoblade âThe hell is this guy doing here? So does that mean Wilbur and Tommy are here after all?â he brings his arm to his chest and bows his head.
âI apologize once more for bumping into you, but if youâll excuse me, I must go.â and with that, he rushes off, Technoblade dusts the arm [M/N] had touched off as he watched the taller man flee, he raises a brow.
âThat was not what I was expecting.â he muttered, he imagined [M/N] to be more intimidating from how Tubbo described him, but after seeing him up close, he looked a bit like a pushover âHmph, for a guy that Tubbo warned me about, heâs quite polite.â [M/N] now stood beside Schlatt as Quackity started off his own speech, gathering the crowd so he could start things off, the man leaned down so that he was hovering by his ear so their conversation would be hushed.
âTechnoblade is here.â this set off alarms in Schlattâs head but he didnât let it show, he just continued to smile at the crowd âSo that can only mean that the other two are here as well to see what the hell is going on.â Schlatt briefly tore his eyes away from the crowd to look up at [M/N].
âThink you can find them?â he stands up straight as his eyes wandered the crowd.
âItâll be a little harder because thereâs so many people, food, and other stuff thatâs messing with my nose, but I know theyâre here...â he muttered quietly, Schlatt nods his head and pats him on the back.
âJust make sure they donât get close, okay? Especially that Technoblade, I know that youâre strong, but I donât want to take any chances of you getting hurt.â Schlatt furrowed his brows when he could feel [M/N]âs puppy dog eyes staring at him, so he smacked his arm âDrop the gaze, youâre supposed to be a wolf, not a puppy.â he smiles softly.
âYouâre the one that calls me pup, sir.â he rolls his eyes.
âIâm gonna call you mutt if you donât shut your mouth.â he lets out a whine before eventually falling silent, [M/N] stood silently beside Schlatt as he sat down in his chair and the both of them silently watched Tubbo give his own speech to the people (I was gonna write his part of the speech but I couldnât be fucked and I didnât have the patience to watch the video/stream just to find exactly what he said), however, [M/N] let his eyes wander a little bit during the speech and his ears perked up at the sight he was looking for.
âThere you are.â he thought to himself, dropping his gaze just in case Wilbur and Tommy stopped looking at Tubbo just to keep an eye on him âIâve got them now.â he discretely tapped the side of Schlattâs seat to gain his attention and when he moved his eyes to look he nodded his head, he could almost read Schlattâs thoughts when he saw that dark smirk spread across his face before he soon started to chuckle.
âW-Wha... whatâs wrong, Schlatt?â Tubbo asked as he looked back at the man, to which he shook his head.
âNo, I was just thinking about it, Tubbo.â he then stands to his feet as he slowly approached him âTubbo, would you like to have fun?â Tubbo glanced back at [M/N] and saw that the dark aura that usually surrounds him came back as he glared at him, he shrunk back as he looked back up at Schlatt.
âY-Yeah, we like-- whatâs up, Schlatt?â he shook his head.
âNothing, nothing. But, is that it? Is that the end of your speech?â he slowly nods his head, Schlatt hums before he goes over to Quackity and hands him yellow sand and so the two of them make a box surrounding Tubbo, they then turn the sand into concrete so Tubbo had no way of getting out. The crowd grew anxious and confused as to what Schlatt and Quackity, to which he was also was confused, were doing âOkay, Tubbo, Iâll cut to the fucking chase.â
âS-Schlatt...?â
"Tubbo, Tubbo... I know what you've been up to.â
âWhat have I been up to?âÂ
âWhat have I been up to' he says! What have I been up to? You've been CONSPIRING! With the IDIOTS, with the-- with the TYRANTS! That we kicked out of this server, that we kicked out of this great country!" [M/N] didnât need to peek into the box to know that the color drained out of his skin as a panicked expression grew on his face as Schlatt raised his voice âTubbo, I don't know if you know this, but treason isn't exactly, uh... isn't exactly a respectable thing around here. I know what you've been doing, IT ALL ADDS UP, BUDDY! The fucking TUNNELS, your ABSENCE from GREAT events, I mean, you walked off in the middle of THIS one! You walked off in the middle of this one, Tubbo! Don't try and tell me you've done nothing wrong! Because everybody knows it! I see it with my own two fucking eyes, what you've been doing!" Schlatt takes a breath as he stops in front of the only opening to the box and he glared down at Tubbo âDo you know what happens to traitors, Tubbo...?â he swallowed thickly.
âN-No...â Schlatt chuckles darkly.
âNothing good." he takes a step back and raises his hand â[M/N], you know what to do.â Tubbo pressed himself into the wall behind him, fear circulating in his eyes when [M/N] came into view with his Firework Launcher in hand.
â[M-M/N]...?â he couldnât stop his body from trembling, he was just so goddamn terrified as the wolfman stared down at him with such a cold gaze âW-Why are you-- whatâs going on?â tears started swelling in his eyes when he saw a malicious smirk spread across his face.
âDonât you know?â he said, loading the crossbow with a firework and raising his arm to aim it at Tubbo, ignoring all the cries behind him, begging and pleading for him to stop âThis whole festival was for you, Tubbo. Schlatt thought it would be funny to see you plan for your own execution.â
âExecution...?!â [M/N] winked.
âMm hmm.â he steadies his arm, finger on the trigger âNow, youâre relived of your duty, sir.â he chuckles before pulling the trigger and letting the firework fly, colors flying everything as it exploded onto Tubbo.Â
[Tubbo went off with a bang due to a firework shot by [U/N]]
Sure, it was a little messed up that the smell of burning flesh met his nostrils along with the sight of his skin burning to the fireworks, but it really meant nothing to him. He slowly lowered his arm as Schlatt placed his hand on [M/N]âs shoulder, patting it softly with a dark grin on his face, Quackity looked at the two in slight fear at what he just witnessed. He couldnât believe that not too long ago, he remembered seeing [M/N] with such a puppy dog look on his face and even Schlatt looked happy and calm, to think that the true meaning of the festival was to actually kill Tubbo because he was a traitor and these two knew all along.
âYou two are sick.â Schlatt dusted his shoulder off when a few sparks got on him while the smirk never left his face.
âWell, youâre married to me, so you better get used to it.â Quackity swallowed thickly before fleeing the stage, Schlatt merely shrugged his shoulders and goes to leave as well but was stopped when he heard a shout.
âYou bastard!â before he could react, [M/N] pushed him behind him just as the former turned around and grabbed Tommy by the neck then slammed him into the ground. The boy threw an Ender Pearl towards them and tried to strike [M/N] down, only for him to sense him way before he could even deal any damage, he thrashed and kicked at the taller man to get him to let go but only let out a grunt when he felt [M/N] tighten his grip on his throat.
âThere you are, you little rat.â he sneered, leaning forward and hovering away from his face âI knew you would appear, it was only a matter of time.â Tommy sneered at him.
âOh, fuck off you twat! Iâll kill you for what you did to Tubbo!â [M/N] merely scoffed, leaning back but keeping his grip on Tommy.
âOh, please. You canât do shit. If you really cared about him, you wouldâve been there to stop me, but you can only do something when the deed has been done. Both you and Wilbur are just pathetic, you two just canât seem to do anything.â mocking him only added fuel to the flames, [M/N] put his Firework Launcher into his inventory then pulled out a sword âIâm not really a fan of using weapons, my expertise rely more on my fists, but Iâll make this a quick death.â Tommy felt a bead of sweat form on his cheek, nails digging into [M/N]âs wrist as he saw the blade of the sword glisten in the light.
âW-Wait...!â Schlatt chuckled, patting [M/N]âs shoulder.
âProceed.â he nods.
âYes sir.â there wasnât even a hint of hesitation in his eyes as he raised his sword âYour third life is mine.â he swings it down and before it could even land on Tommy, an Enchanted Axe blocked the attack.
âHmm, to think I mistaken you for a pup.â looking up, he was met with the condescending gaze of Technoblade using his axe to block [M/N]âs blade from meeting Tommyâs face âI think I have to stop you right there, mutt.â [M/N] bares his teeth as he tries putting more pressure into his sword, Tommy noticed both weapons were trembling by the amount of pressure the two hybrid men were putting into it.
âAnd the pig finally decides to step in, huh?â he lets out a grunt when Technoblade had enough and kicked [M/N] in the chest, kicking him off of Tommy and giving him enough time to pull the younger boy up onto his feet âThat was quite rude, I was busy with that boy and I would have appreciated it if you didnât interfere.â Technoblade chuckles, pushing Tommy behind him while also watching [M/N] stand to his feet, he threw his axe over his shoulder while [M/N] rolled his neck and shoulders.
âWell sorry to break it to you, but this guy is with me.â Tommy smiled up at Technoblade while [M/N] merely scoffed, cracking his knuckles as he got in front of Schlatt.
âRight, to overthrow the government, right?â Technoblade laughs, bouncing his axe on his shoulder.
âYeah, are you going to stop me from completing such a feat?âÂ
âHonestly, I could care less about the government, I am only here because I am following the man who is the President. All I care about is staying by Schlattâs side, and if you are here to threaten his life, I canât help but see you as an enemy.â Technoblade lets out a breath, lowering his axe and holding it in both of his hands.
âWith the way you think, I feel like the both of us could have been friends.â [M/N] rolled his eyes, lowering his body and letting his arms hang in front of him, eyes never leaving Technoblade.
âWho needs friends when you have that one person that makes you happy?â now this made Technoblade think of that one person that made him happy, he shook his head.
âYeah, we really would have gotten along.â [M/N] flexes his fingers as neither side took their eyes off each other, it was a long stare off but as soon as Technoblade saw [M/N] presses his hands into the ground, the soles of his feet digging into the ground, he readied himself. He was startled at the speed [M/N] went when he shot towards him, he lets out a grunt as he swung his axe but [M/N] easily slid under the heavy swing and was now behind him. Tommy let out a cry when he was kicked off the stage though he was luckily caught by the audience below before he could die to fall damage, Technoblade immediately turned around and swung at him again but [M/N] tackled him off the stage and the both of them fell to the ground but he was lucky because he landed on top of Technoblade so he barely lost any hearts.
âNow that hurt...â he let out a grunt when Technoblade kicked him off but he managed to stick the landing, his claws digging into the ground beneath him to bring himself to a stop âNeed a second to catch your breath, Blood God?â Technoblade licked his lips as he stood to his feet, wiping away some of the blood that ran down his lips from out of his snout.
âPlease, I can do this all day.â a growl emitted out of [M/N]âs throat as his animalistic traits started to take form, from his forearms to his hand's fur overlapped his skin as his hands turned into razor-sharp claws while from his legs changed into hind legs âNow thatâs not fair.â
âPlease, I havenât even shown you my true form yet.âÂ
âPsh, that sounds cringey.â
âYou just made it cringey.â [M/N] closes his hand into a tight fist, his knuckles cracking under the pressure he closed them, before flexing his fingers âAre you ready to rumble?â Technoblade wipes his nose of any more blood, swiftly drinking a regen potion and pulling out his sword this time, getting ready to strike [M/N] down.
âYeah, Iâm ready.â [M/N] lets out a howl before charging forward, yet before he could even land a scratch on Technoblade, a message appeared in the bottom left corner of his vision that made him freeze up.
[JSchlatt was shot by WilburSoot]
Technoblade was also taken aback by the message but he didnât freeze like the man in front of him, he took his distraction as an opportunity to hit him with the pommel end of the sword. [M/N] went down, his hands planting on the ground to catch himself, before raising his head to where he left Schlatt, and his heart shattered at the sight of an arrow piercing through his chest. Despair surrounded his heart as he watched him collapse to the ground before his body evidently turned to dust, a new body ready for him at his spawn point where he know only had two lives left.
âI didnât take you as the type to get distracted by trivial things.â Technoblade said as he approached his shaking body, he raised his sword and goes to strike him down but fell back when [M/N] ran away. Technoblade was going to chase after him but stopped when Tommy and Wilbur got in front of him, the both of them having a smirk on their faces at the sight of the biggest troublemaker fleeing.
âTalk about running away with his tail between his legs, huh?â Tommy mocked, laughing at the sight of the big bad wolf running away âNice shot, by the way, Wilbur. That really did it.â Wilbur nods his head as he pats Technoblade on the shoulder.
âItâs thanks to Techno distracting [M/N] that I had a clear shot on Schlatt, the man wasnât even paying attention to his surroundings.â Technoblade let them blabber about what was happening as he continued to look where [M/N] ran, his eyes widening softly when he realized which direction he went in.
[with the reader]
There was only a single thought that was running through [M/N]âs head as he ran on all fours towards the White House, tears in his eyes as he ignored the aching pain in the side of his face.
âI fucked up! I fucked up! I fucked up!â he didnât bother wiping the tears from his face as the White House slowly came into view âI had one job and I fucked it up!â he skid to a stop as he stood on his hind legs, he actually kicked the door down before rushing down the hallways to find Schlattâs room that was located somewhere in this build. He had one job, he had ONE job and that was to protect Schlatt, and he fucked that up by getting too caught up in his fight with Technoblade that Schlatt lost one of his lives and he watched the man he grew up with turn to dust. When he was finally at his room, he threw the door open and there he saw Schlatt sitting in his bed with a confused look on his face, his lip trembled as the older man raised his head to get a look at the person who entered his room.
â[M/N--â he couldnât even finish when the younger one let out a sob, rushing over to his side and grabbing a hold of his hand, tears running down his face.
âIâm so sorry, Schlatt! Itâs all my fault that Wilbur killed you!â he cried out, his form trembling as he pressed his forehead into his hands âIf only I didnât focus on Technoblade then none of this would have happened! I failed you!â [M/N] couldnât stop himself from crying no matter how hard he tried, the tears he wiped away were only replaced with more tears. This scene reminded him of the time [M/N] accidentally shoved him off a cliff and he narrowly avoided death by landing on a hay bale, and though it did save him from losing a life for a pathetic reason, it still did some heavy damage. [M/N] wouldnât stop crying no matter how hard Schlatt reassured him that he was fine, it just showed how much this kid really worried for him.
âIâm fine, puppy, really.â he let out a whine as he shook his head.
âB-But... you only have two lives left because I got reckless.â Schlatt hummed, slipping a hand out of [M/N] grip to press against his head, ruffling it softly.
âWe only live once, kid, I just have to make my next two worth it.â his hands slip down to cup his cheek, a soft smile graced his lips when the wolfman leaned into his touch âI donât blame you for what happened, I would never.â
âYou should.â he chuckles as he shakes his head.
âI should be worried about you too, puppy. That was an insane fall you dropped from, you even took a hit from Technoblade. Iâm proud that you stood your ground against him.â he sniffles, sitting up straight and wiping away some of his tears with the back of his hand.
âHeâs not all that tough, I can take him.â
âYeah you can, youâre not even in your true form while heâs in his.â now that was enough to get [M/N] to snicker weakly, [M/N] really chose to be in his human form because he got fewer stares and he looked intimidating enough as a human, plus he could do more. [M/N] stood to his feet, backing away when he noticed Schlatt wanted to get out of bed. The man threw the covers off his body and stood to his feet, [M/N] keeping close in case the man collapsed, respawning into another body really did take a lot out of you.
âWhat are going to do now, Schlatt?â he clicked his tongue.
âWhat do you mean what do we do?â he said with a scoff âWe make sure we bite them back.â
[a few weeks later]
[M/N] let out a deep sigh when he heard shouting coming from within Sclattâs office followed by loud thuds and glass shattering, the older man has been going through a lot to the point that he was drinking more and sleeping less to cope with the fact that he was slowly losing it all. The people he thought he could trust were abandoning him to join the rebellion that Wilbur and Tommy had formed to overthrow Schlattâs rule, and it wasnât helping the fact that the more that he drank the more he let his anger overwhelm him. [M/N] would no doubt stay with him till the very end, but he was quite surprised that Quackity was still sticking around despite everything heâs done, but he was pretty sure that was going to change very soon with how Schlatt has been treating him lately.
âIs this all you can do, you fucking worthless waste of space?! I ask you to do one simple thing, and you canât even do that right?! Why do I still keep you around if you canât do anything?!â Schlatt shouts, slamming his fist onto the desk, causing Quackity to flinch at how loud he was shouting.
âI-Iâm sorry...â
âYou think a sorry is going to cut it?! What I want from you is to get it right! Weâre in a time where I want results, not mistakes!â he lets out a sigh, running his fingers through his hair before collapsing into his chair âWhatever, just get out of my face. Iâll deal with you later, so just leave me alone.â Quackity didnât hesitate to rush out of the office, clutching the side of his face that was brutally slapped across by the man, it was still aching and he could feel some blood pooling up in his mouth.
âMarrying him was a mistake...â he whimpered out, sniffling and wiping away the tears that threatened to fall, when he opened his eyes he let out a startled yelp when a bottle was in front of him. Looking up, he was surprised to see that it was [M/N] offering him a regen potion to help heal the bruise that was beginning to form on the cheek that was slapped âU-Uh... thank you.â he hesitantly whispered as he took the potion into his hands.
âDonât mention it.â Quackity awkwardly stood there, contemplating what to say next, he opened his mouth to speak but was stopped when [M/N] raised his hand âDonât say anything. I didnât give that to you because I cared, because I donât care about you. You could just say that Iâve been where youâve stood.â Quackityâs eyes widened at that.
âR-Really...?â he nods.
âIâve done some really dumb shit to get him angry, and I rarely got him angry because I was obedient to the very end.â he closes his eyes as he thought back to the past âTo be honest, I deserved it, so I took the punishment. The difference between you and me when it comes to him, though, is that he actually cares about me.â the duck man flinched at that, his wings flaring up, and though he really wants to retaliate, he knew what [M/N] was saying was the truth.
âYouâre right.â [M/N] scoffed.
âI know Iâm right.â he soon lets out a sigh, he pats Quackity on his back and gives him a light shove to get him moving âIâm really the only person that can get him to calm down from his temper tantrum, so get going and donât visit him for the next couple of days or else he might use you as his punching bag.â [M/N] turns towards the door, hands on each handle to pull them open but he paused, he turned his head to where Quackity was walking away and spoke up âAnd if you really know whatâs good for you... youâll divorce him.â this caused Quackity to stop in his tracks.
âWhat?! Are you insane? Heâll kill me if I--â he shakes his head.
âIâm telling you this for your own safety. Youâve already seen what Schlatt can do, imagine what he will do within arms reach.â Quackity started to tremble at the thought, he looked down at the golden ring on his finger then back up at [MN] who took a deep breath âI can handle him because Iâve been with him for such a long time to the point heâs the only person I need, but you still have a variety of different people to help you. Donât waste your time on someone who isnât going to treat you the way you want to be treated.â he couldnât help but feel touched by the way [M/N] spoke to him, he never really speak to him in such a way to comfort him, and it felt nice. He wanted to say something but couldnât when [M/N] opened the doors and entered Schlattâs office, he felt the confidence in his chest deflate and he could only pray that heâll be okay.
[M/N] took a breath as he stepped into Schlattâs office, closing the doors behind him as he looked around. He saw the shattered glass by the door where he could only assume Schlatt had thrown his glass cup at Quackity out of a fit of rage, chairs were thrown, books were scattered and he could only describe the state of the room as if a tornado had blown through it. He glanced over to where Schlatt was and grimaced when he saw that he was chugging down a bottle of whiskey as if it was water, he felt nauseous because of the strong smell of alcohol coming off of that man. It pained him seeing Schlatt doing this to himself, he understood what all of this was doing to him, it was overwhelming him to the point he had to use alcohol to numb the pain.
âSchla--â
âDidnât I tell you to fuck off?!â he didnât flinch when Schlatt turned around and threw the bottle at him, the glass shattering upon impact on his head. Despite the intoxication messing with his head, he slowly began to register that the man in front of him wasnât his poor excuse of a husband, but instead, he was met with-- â[M/N]...?â he slowly slurred out, he let out a gasp when he saw him raise his hand when not only liquor ran down his face, but also blood âO-Oh, god, Iâm so sorry, I--â he raised his hand to stop him from talking, shaking his head.
âNo, itâs fine, Schlatt, you know this barely hurts...â he says that, and yet his body sways a bit, Schlatt immediately sobered up enough to get out from behind his desk to approach the man, reaching up and cupping his cheeks.
âNo, you dumb dog, itâs not fine!â he shouts, he quickly pulls him by his hands and sits him down in his chair. [M/N] could have easily dodged that bottle, but itâs at times like these where he lets it happen just to see how Schlatt would react to him accidentally hurting him. He sat in silence as Schlatt quickly grabbed anything that could help bandage the wound, he first fed him a regen potion before cleaning up the wound and bandaging it up. [M/N] would always get himself hurt in the past to protect Schlatt so the older man knew exactly what to do to help the younger man, [M/N] noticed his hands were shaking so he slowly raised his own hands and grabbed them âI-It was an accident...! Iâm so sorry, I didnât know it was you...â
âItâs fine, Schlatt, itâs better me than Quackity. You probably wouldâve done more damage to him in comparison to me.â
âIt wouldâve been better if it were him than you.â sure it was harsh, but [M/N] couldnât help but feel flattered that he cared for him that much. He placed his hand on the bandages around his head, a soft blush tinting his cheeks, he raises his eyes but his head shot up when he noticed that Schlatt pulled out another bottle of liquor, this time it was a bottle of vodka. He popped the bottle cap and poured some in the glass, he was going to down it in one go but couldnât when [M/N] stood to his feet and grabbed the glass, pushing it down so that it was on the table.
âSchlatt, no.â he scoffed and tried lifting the glass once more but [M/N] pushed it down once more âYou know exactly why I am not letting you drink.â he let out a sigh and let the glass go, this time he tried to down the bottle but [M/N] was quicker and took the bottle from him.
âHey, what gives?!â he ignored his whining and complaining, putting the cap onto the bottle once more and putting it away so the man wouldnât try anything again. He opened a chest and pulled out some wonder, emptying the glass of vodka and instead replacing that with water.
âDrink that along with some painkillers, itâll help ease your hangover that is surely going to come from the amount youâve been drinking as of lately.â he huffs and snatches the water, opening his drawer to pull out the painkillers and plopping them in his mouth then downing the water. Schlatt collapsed into his chair and soon the two fell into silence was once, [M/N]âs ears twitching every so often to hear the way Schlatt was breathing to the beat of his rushing heart slowly coming to a soft beat.
âSometimes it feels like Iâve become the one that needs to be looked after, I remember it used to be you all the time.â [M/N] frowned.
âThat is because you NEED to be looked after, Schlatt. If Iâm not around then who will take care of you in my stead?â he lets out a sigh, running a hand through his hair âIâm going to tell you this again, but you know exactly why I donât want you drinking as excessively as you did before. Your heart can not take it anymore.â he says in a stern tone, the other merely rolled his eyes as he leaned his weight into his chair.
âYou say that as if you know my body.â his ear twitched.
âI do know your body, almost better than you.â a shallow growl comes from his throat before he kneels down, taking his hands and rubbing his thumbs over his knuckles âI canât help but worry for you, Schlatt. Youâre not as youthful as you used to be when you drank, itâs going to come to bite you in the ass and I wonât be able to help you.â he grits his teeth, his grip on his hands tightening a little as his head hung âI NEVER should have let you do this stupid job, we NEVER should have gotten ourselves involved in the first place. None of this would have happened if we just kept to ourselves.â
â... but, it was fun, wasnât it?â [M/N] paused at that, raising his head and looking up at him to see that he was giving him one of those genuine smiles âYou and I against the world?â he could tell that Schlatt was trying to make light of the situation, he laughed sadly while cracking a small smile.
âYeah, it was fun...â Schlatt lowered his head as the alcohol that was still left in his system started to overtake his emotions and mind, [M/N] heard a sniffle so he turned his head to get a better look at the man above him, only to be taken aback at the tears that were beginning to run down his face.Â
â[M/N], I-I... I donât like anything about me.â
âWhat?â Schlatt took his hands away from [M/N] and looked down at them and they slowly started to tremble as his emotions started running wild.
âI donât like who Iâve become. Everyone around me is slowly disappearing, they all hate me, and who knows how long until you leave me.â he immediately stood to his feet, this causes Schlatt to panic as he rises to his feet, his hands grabbing onto [M/N]âs jacket in a desperate attempt to get him from what he thought was leaving âNo, youâre going to leave me too, arenât you?! I wonât let you leave! I canât handle the thought of you leaving me! That thought is too painful!â [M/N] started to cry at the same thought.
âNo! There was never a time in my life when I was with you that I would leave your side!â he shouts, grabbing his wrists and making him look up at him âI would never leave you, I will stay by your side until the end of the world. Iâve told you this time and time again, but what I am saying is the truth, I would NEVER live without you.â now that was enough to break down Schlattâs walls, tears slowly started running down his face as he sobbed into [M/N]âs chest, his body trembling as his grip on his shirt tightened. [M/N] sniffled before wrapping his arms around him, burying his face into his hair while trying to be mindful of the horns protruding out of his head. He hadnât paid attention to how long the two of them just simply cried in each otherâs arms but it was long enough to the point that Schlatt had actually fallen asleep, [M/N] looked him over before letting out a sigh and picking the man up bridal style. Carrying him to his bedroom was an effortless task, what startles him was the fact that Schlatt was getting lighter and lighter each time heâs had to carry him, it scared him. He tucks him in bed after removing his jacket and shoes and decides to stay by his side, he let out a frustrated groan as he ran his hands through his hair and messed with it.
âEverything is just in shambles. The stress is soon going to overwhelm Schlatt to the point his heart wonât be able to handle it, and he keeps turning to alcohol as a solution to dull the pain.â his hands slowly drag down his face until he brings a fist to his mouth and bit down on one of his knuckles âI donât know what to do to help him, and before I know it Iâll lose him. I just want to help him... but I donât know how.â
âOh, what a sight.â [M/N] stood to his feet at the unsuspecting voice, hand out and hovering over Schlatt in case the intruder dared try to bring him to him, his eyes scanned the room as a threatening growl comes out of him âHey, hey now. Thereâs no need to show aggression, Iâm only here to visit.â [M/N]âs gifted eyes could easily see through the darkness that covered the manâs body, he didnât ease up, even when he knew who it was.
âWhat the hell do you want, Dream?â said man just gave a chuckle, knowing that nothing could get past [M/N] and his keen senses.
âIâm here on business, and the man I want to do business is currently sleeping.â he took a step forward but came to a halt when [M/N] continued to growl at him, his eyes glaring at him through the darkness, Dream raised his hands âCome on now, you of all people should know I wouldnât dare to hu--â [M/N] snarled this time.
âJust cut to the chase, smiley man. I donât give two shits about your false words of sincerity, all I know is that youâre in an alliance with Pogtopia.â Dream couldnât help but flinch when he bared his fangs at him âAll I know is that you could be here to threaten Schlattâs life, and if I even think for a split second that you are deemed as a threat, I will not hesitate to smash your skull in.â Dream lets out a nervous laugh at that, knowing full well that [M/N] was capable of such a feat
âW-Well, no, actually-- whatever, the alliance between me and Pogtopia is nothing but a farce.â [M/N]âs raised a brow at what he said, not believing him 100%, he let out another nervous chuckle âWell, itâs not too far off, actually, because--â [M/N] let out a sigh as he slowly relaxed, crossing his arms and keeping a close eye on him to make sure he keeps his distance.
âGet to the point already, Iâm losing my patience here.â Dream sighs, relaxing when he saw him ease up and wasnât able to eat his head.
âI promised to help Schlatt, in return, he would give me something important.â Dream noticed a change in [M/N] facial expression, his ears perked up in alert before he glanced down at Schlatt âI can only assume you know about our deal.â he licked his lips out of nervousness.
âI could...â he taps his fingers on his arms âHe did mention to me that you might show up unannounced, and if he werenât available, that I could take his place to negotiate.â beneath his mask, his eyes slowly lit up when he saw [M/N] slowly think it over before rolling his eyes, throwing his head back while letting out a groan âUgh, fine. Give me a minute.â
âNo, no, take your time.â he flinched when [M/N] side-eyed him before rolling his eyes, he reluctantly left Schlattâs side in search of what Dream was looking for. Said man watched as [M/N] approached a bookcase, pushing a few books to the side to get to the button that was hidden and pressing on it. The bookcase soon revealed an Ender Chest that was hiding and [M/N] opened it up, he sorted through it before finding exactly what he wanted and pulled it out, turning away and allowing the bookcase to return how it was before.
âIâm the only other person to know about what the contents of this book contains, he only ever trusted me. Sure, he kept secrets from me, but he never lied to me. He was always straight with me, so donât even try with me when it comes to this book.â Dream nods his head as he reaches forward to grab it, however, [M/N] grabbed a tight hold on his hand and yanked him forward, leaning down so he was hovering over his ear âI also want to inform you, though, the moment you take this book from me seals your fate with me. If you even have a thought of betraying Schlatt, there wonât be a single place on this server that will keep you safe. I will find you, no matter where you are, and fucking kill you. Do you understand me?â Dream gulped, seeing the look in his eyes that told him that he was not joking around, he took a breath and nodded his head.
âI understand...â [M/N] stared at him before leaning back and offering him the book, he didnât miss the look of hesitance Dream had before taking the book from his hands.
âNow that you got what you wanted, fuck off. Iâll report to Schlatt that you swung by and I took care of it.â Dream could only nod his head before leaving through the window he entered in, it really frustrated him how Schlatt had such an obedient dog that followed his every command no matter how violent or extreme, he did it with not an ounce of hesitation. Dream was also frightened by the man, there was no way he could take him on when it came down to PVP, sure he was a legend himself alongside Technoblade, but the latter was much easier to handle because at least he was a little predictable. [M/N] was the literal definition of a wild beast, a feral wolf that would and most definitely could snap his neck the moment he deemed them a threat.
âFuck.â
[manberg vs pogtopia]
âWeâre fucked.â was all [M/N] said as he looked at the people who were going to fight for Pogtopia âSir, we might as well throw in the towel, we are going to lose without a doubt.â Schlatt only laughed, punching his chest and gesturing to the people who were allied with them.
âOh, come on, there could be a chance.â he inhaled deeply, squeezing the bridge of his nose.
âWhat chance? There is literally you and I, plus those four fuckwits, verses Pogtopia, the Badlands, the Slums, and Purpledâs Cabin! How on earth are we going to win against those odds?! Weâre fucked, I tell you! Fucked!â seeing [M/N] panic, who was mostly known for being composed, really set them off and they couldnât help but get nervous themselves.
âStop panicking pup, youâre ruining the atmosphere.â he let out a groan, dragging his hands along his face as he looked down at Schlatt.
âI am being logical, Schlatt. Thereâs no way weâre going to win.â he takes Schlattâs hands and gives him a desperate look âLetâs just give Manberg to Wilbur, thereâs nothing left here for us. Everyone left and this country has no significant meaning to us, just-- please, just give it to him. We are going to die in vain for a country that means nothing to us.â he winced back when Schlatt ripped his hands out of his own and gave him a stern glare.
âAnd give him the satisfaction of besting me? Iâd rather die.â that response caused [M/N]âs ears to press against his head, his tail falling limp behind him âSince youâre quiet, I can only guess that youâve finished spitting out nonsense?â a whine came out of him as he slowly nodded his head.
âYes, sir.â the four who were in an alliance with Manberg watched as [M/N] followed behind Schlatt, but they couldnât help but agree with the man, Schlatt was just too goddamn stubborn to admit that he was at the fault at that very moment and that Manberg was going to fall in the very end. They were practically just wasting their time with an idiot.
âHey! I see them marching up!â Sapnap called, they all rush outside and looked down where they saw the number of people on the side of Pogtopia, [M/N] pursed his lips as he looked down at Schlatt with a knowing look, to which the older man pressed his hand to his cheek and turned his face away.
âThose are... those are a lot of people.â he rolls his eyes, leaning down on the stone brick as he watched the people of Pogtopia and their allies rock up.
âYou think?â he was smacked across the head, he lets out a huff as his eyes locked onto three people. Wilbur was the first, growling at him as he remembered he was the one that took Schlattâs first life; Quackity was second for taking Schlattâs second; Technoblade... because he had an annoying face and knew he was going to be the one to give him trouble.
â[M/N], think you can handle them?â he pulls a face at the request, the four that were foolish enough to form an alliance with Manberg look at the duo in confusion.
âI canât guarantee Iâll be able to keep them all back, maybe a handful, but I am pretty sure a few will slip by me.â
âThat is more than enough.â [M/N] cracks his knuckles as he rolls his neck and shoulders, Punz leans into Dreamâs ear as they watch him stretch.
âWhat is he going to do?â he shrugs his shoulders.
âBeats me, heâs Schlattâs dog, not mine.â they both flinch when he whipped his head around and glared at them, he huffed as he stared down at Pogtopia that was slowly but surely getting closer. He stands on top of the stone blocks that made a makeshift railing to prevent people from falling off before jumping off himself, immediately, the allies of Manberg rushed over to the edge and watched as [M/N] descended down the large stone tower, Schlatt slowly approached the edge without a care in the world.
âGo get 'em pup, donât hold back.â [M/N] landed on the ground with a loud thud, the ground itself cracks upon impact, he stood up straight and slowly started walking forward as the people of Pogtopia came to a halt.
âLook who it is, itâs Schlattâs lapdog.â Fundy mocked, [M/N] rolled his eyes at the lame insult.
âOh, look who it is, the guy who got abandoned by his own father, how sad.â Wilbur pulled a face while Fundy turned red âShut your damn mouth if you arenât ready to shoot your shots, mmkay? Mmkay.â Tommy then steps forward, pointing a sword in his direction.
âWhy are you here alone, [M/N]? Here to wave the white flag?â he raises his hands while shrugging his shoulders.
âPersonally, yeah. I know a battle I canât win when I see one, but itâs rather unfortunate that Iâm following the orders of a stubborn man.â he laces his fingers together and cracks them above his head âIâm not afraid to admit when Iâve been beat, but I also donât go down without a fight.â Tubbo now steps forward, fear still lingering in his body at the sight of [M/N], he swallowed it down as he readies his Firework Launcher.
âThen why donât you join us, [M/N]. You clearly see that following him is pointless.â he was really hoping [M/N] would refuse the offer, then it would give him an excuse to blow his head off the same way he did to him. [M/N] glared down at Tubbo, beginning to strip out of his Netherite Armor as he started approaching them.
âWell, unlike you, I donât betray those Iâve already sworn my loyalty to.â after removing the vambrace from off his forearm and dropping it to the ground, he rolls his neck once more before taking a deep breath and relaxing his body. He felt his breathing pick up along with the beats of his heart increasing at a rapid pace, he lets out a grunt as his body started to change shape. He plants his hands on the ground when collapsed to the ground, slowly but surely, his body was beginning to change into the shape of his true form as a grey wolf. He tore off his jacket and shirt when his torso was too big for it, he was lucky enough that the pants he was wearing only ripped and tore but not completely off, so heâll be okay if he wants to return to his human form. He now stood at 8âł2ft tall, no traces of human features in sight as he stood tall on his hind legs, he was growling down at them, flexing his claws as he growled at them before taking a deep breath and letting out a loud howl that made their ears ring.
âWhat the fuck?! Thatâs what he actually looks like?!â
âWhat the fuck is this?!â a deep chuckle startled them, he looked down at them, his [E/C] eyes glaring down at them as he lowered his body.
âReally, I have nothing against most of you people that are here.â he speaks, the depth of his voice sending shivers down their spines âIâm only out for Wilbur and Quackity, and maybe Technoblade because youâre the one I deem as the biggest threat.â Quackity took a step back at how his main targets were âIâd let the rest of you go, but I have a job to do, and that is to be a literal feral menace.â Wilbur clicks his tongue as he throws his arm out.
âAttack!â [M/N] let out a loud roar as they charged forward, he presses his hands into the ground, digging his claws and the soles of his feet into the stone path before launching forward. He easily pounced over the vanguard and aimed towards Technoblade, who was surprised and took a step back but couldnât dodge the claw that brutally landed on his chest and shoved him back. Schlatt had a smirk on his face as he watched a group of them try and take [M/N] down, but he knew they werenât going to accomplish it, [M/N]âs true form was his trump guard because the man was rarely in that form. He said that it was too intimidating and he takes up too much space being in that form, says heâs more comfortable being a miniature-sized human.
âHe should look like that more often, would keep people off our dicks.â Dream looks at Schlatt.
âSo thatâs what he really looks like?â he nods.
âMm hmm. Sometimes Iâm surprised with how long he can keep up his human form, it takes a lot out of him and itâs usually at night where he takes the appearance of his true self.â they hear another roar so they look down and see that he grabbed Jack Manifold and was swinging him around, using him to hit the others that got too close before throwing him full force into Niki.
âQuite the upper hand.â Sapnap laughs as he leans over to see that he was actually handling himself pretty well.
âIâd hate to be at the other end of those fists.â he says, watching as [M/N] grabbed a hold of Awesamdudeâs head, his grip so tight that he lifted up him and slammed it into the ground before beginning to ruthlessly plow blow after blow under he didnât move âSo glad weâre on his side.â
âMm hmm.â [M/N] was currently having a standoff with BadBoyHalo, their hands were locked together and both sides were trying to push the other back. [M/N] was being pushed back because Bad had more height in comparison to him, but that meant nothing because he managed to stop Bad from pushing him back. He growls as he takes a couple steps forward before tightening his grip on his hands then throwing his arms back, causing the other to stumble back a bit, leaving him wide up. [M/N] didnât take any chances before proceeding to wrap his arms around his torso then lean back, performing a german suplex on him and slamming his head into the ground.
âHeâs fucking insane!â Skeppy shouts, watching as [M/N] stood to his feet and let out another roar, causing a few of them to step back âI didnât sign up for this!â Technoblade let out a chuckle as he dusts his shoulder off, walking past the frozen few to approach the feral dog.
âYou say that, but havenât you noticed? Heâs starting to get tired.â he grimaced when Technoblade was telling the truth, [M/N] was beginning to pant as he tried to calm his breathing by taking deep breaths âNeed to take a breath, Devilâs Hound?â said man couldnât help but chuckle, shaking his head as the words he said during the festival came out of Technobladeâs mouth.
âThatâs surely a new one, but I canât help but agree. Schlatt tends to be a devil when he gets too rowdy.â he lets out a groan as he cracked his knuckles, stretching his back before letting his arms hang in front of him as he lowered his body. Technoblade got himself ready when [M/N] charged towards him again, he swings his axe when he got close but was taken aback when he bit the head of the axe right off its shoulder before spitting it out and punching Technoblade across the face. The piglin hybrid staggered backward but didnât stop and instead threw what was left of his axe to the ground and pulled out a sword, the two disputed in their own battle, and [M/N] cursed to himself when he noticed that many of the people he didnât incapacitate were slipping past him and making their way up the tower.
âYou arenât going to stop them?â Technoblade asked, grip on his sword tight while his other hand was pressing against the flat side of his blade to not get pushed back when he blocked one of [M/N]âs clawed attacks.
âIâm more focused on you, Technoblade. I already took care of the most troublesome ones, and when I take care of you, Iâll go deal with them next.â he laughs and manages to throw [M/N] back, Technoblade rolls his shoulders before holding his sword in front of him with both his hands gripping the hilt.
âThen I guess Iâll have to keep you here as long as I can.â
âHeh, weâll see.â
[insert fight scene, I was going to write the fight scene between techno and the reader but I just wanted to get to the main part where schlatt was getting drunk in the drug van]
âSchlatt? Schlatt!â [M/N] called out, looking around in distress for the man. His fight with Technoblade wasnât fair from the beginning, both he and the piglin man were so absorbed into the fight neither side noticed Tubbo taking aim at [M/N], firing a Firework at him and he hadnât noticed until it was too late. Technoblade backed away just as it hit [M/N] and it exploded on impact, it didnât kill him, but it did some serious damage. It managed to burn through his fur to his skin before he could put it out, he was sure it would leave a scar from the left side of his arm, a bit of his torso and face. He wouldâve continued fighting if it werenât for the message he got from Schlatt.
<JSchlatt> whispers to you: hey, kid, I need you.
You whisper to <JSchlatt>: need me? what do you mean? Iâm kind of in the middle of something, so I hope you can wait.
<JSchlatt> whispers to you: I donât think you understand, I NEED you right now.
âHey, donât tell me youâre getting distracted again.â Technoblade taunts as he saw [M/N] not paying attention, he raised his head as he clutched his left shoulder before turning around and running off âWait, what?! Why are you running again?!â he spits out the blood in his mouth as he turned his head to look at Technoblade.
âWouldnât you do the same thing to protect the person you care about?!â he shouts before launching himself into the air, Technoblade was once again frozen in place at his choice of words. He couldnât help but chuckle bitterly, shaking his head at the thought of that one person he would give his life for, so he understood where [M/N] was coming from. Back to the man in question, [M/N] was looking around frantically for Schlatt, he wasnât in the last place he left him so where could he be now? He managed to catch a whiff of his scent and ran off in the direction it was coming from, he raised a brow in concern at the sight of the Camarvan before shaking his head and kicking the door open, there he saw Schlatt wallowing away while drinking alcohol âSchlatt?! You canât be serious!â he exclaims as he approaches the man, collapsing to his knees as he inspected his body.
âAh, there you are, [M/N]~ I was wondering when youâd show up.â he slurred out, [M/N] grimaced as he shook his head, knowing that the man was already drunk out of his mind and all rationality was out the door.
âWhy on earth are you drinking while in the middle of a war, Schlatt? Are you trying to get yourself killed?â Schlatt ignored all his words, he raised his eyes and they slowly widened at the sight before him. The left side of his body was burnt horribly and was continuing to bleed, but he pushed through that pain as he looked Schlatt up and down, god, sometimes he wished this damned kid would hate him just as much as everyone else did.
âWhat... what happened to you?â he whispered, [M/N] looked down at himself and just laughed bitterly.
âCall it karma, I guess. Tubbo got his revenge on me while I was focused on Technoblade, but enough about that, stop drinking that!â he shouts, smacking the bottle out of his hands then standing to his feet âWeâre obviously losing this war, sir, so letâs just get outta here!â he exclaims, Schlatt just laughed as he let his head rest on the thing that he was leaning against.
âAnd go where? Weâll be living the rest of our lives as the cowards who fled during a war.â [M/N] grits his teeth.
âSo you would rather die in vain for a country that meant nothing to you?!â he shouts, he runs his hands through his fur and growls âThere is nothing left here for us, letâs just leave this all behind and restart our lives! Weâve done that before, so why canât we do that again? Whatâs stopping you from continuing your journey?â he closes his eyes before turning his head to look up at him.
âIâm dying, [M/N].â he noticed [M/N]âs shoulders slump at what he said âYou and I both know that I am, so whatâs the point in living when my time is almost up?â [M/N] felt his body tremble as the news hit him, of course, he knew that Schlatt was dying, but he just didnât want to accept it.
âWhy not live the rest of what is left of your life doing what you love?â Schlatt chuckled weakly, shaking his head once more.
âIâve done all Iâve ever wanted with my life.â [M/N] noticed Schlatt was reading for him so he knelt down and leaned forward, he flinched when Schlatt cupped his noninjured cheek and gave him a weak smile âItâs your turn to live your life, [M/N]. Get out of here and leave me behind.â he knew that [M/N] would never do such a thing, he knew that he meant everything to him, but he just had to tell him.Â
âNo... no! I canât just leave you behind!â he shouts, tears beginning to swell up in his eyes âI wonât leave you behind! I told you I would stay by your side until the end of the world!â
âThen is me dying considered the end of the world?â he fell silent at that, he let his head hang low as the tears slowly ran down his face, he let out a huff as he looked up at the big wolfman âAs my last order to you, I want you to forget about me and leave this place behind to live your own life.â he sniffled, collapsing to his knees again, burying his face in his hands.
âBut what is my life without you?â
âYour own.â his vision on Schlatt got blurry because of the tears, he could never picture a time in his life when he wasnât by Schlattâs side, the only time that ever occurred was when he was nothing but a lowly beggar in an alleyway. He wouldnât have had a life to live if it werenât for Schlatt.
âSee? Theyâre right here.â Schlatt looked behind [M/N] and they both saw both forces storm the room they were in, [M/N] immediately stood to his feet and stood protectively in front of Schlatt, baring his teeth and growling at them to not take a step forward. It didnât take long for the two of them to be surrounded, however, he didnât quite care at the fact, his eyes zoned in on the masked fucker that had double crossed him.
âNow youâve signed your death waiver, you son of a bitch.â his attention soon changed over to where Wilbur was, said man looked the wolf hybrid up and down before raising his hands.Â
âEasy now, [M/N], I just wanna talk.â he let out a tired scoff.
âTalk about what? How you want to kill Schlatt and I? Is that it? You know how stubborn this bastard is.â Schlatt looked up at him.
âDid you just call me a--â
âYou are one, just admit it.â this silenced him, [M/N] sighed deeply when he saw ram hybrid reach into the chest he was leaning against to pull out another bottle of alcohol, Tommy couldnât help but snicker at the sight.
âSo, thatâs your leader, [M/N]? Thatâs who youâre bowing down to?â he snarled at the boy.
âShut your damn mouth. If it werenât for the fact that youâre not at arms length, I would no hesitate to punt you, child.âÂ
âYou wouldnât.â he raised his brows as he stared at Tommy.
âDonât make me.â Wilbur sighed as he got in front of [M/N] once more, shutting Tommy up from making anymore unnecessary comments, [M/N] let out a grunt when Schlatt grabbed his arm and pulled it down as he looked out from behind him.
âFundy! Wha... what are you doing here?â Fundy only gave him a confused look as he let out a sigh.
âSchlatt... are you fucking serious?â
âFundy are you--â Schlatt pushed [M/N] back with all the strength he had and smashed the bottle of alcohol on Fundy, who managed to react fast enough and block the blow with his arm. The others reacted immediately so [M/N] took a step forward, wrapped his arm around his shoulders and pulling him into his chest, he wrapped his other arm around his body when he felt him slowly slip into a drunken rage but calmed down within the arms of the wolfman.
âListen! Schlatt, youâve fucked up the country! You fucked up everything! You had a dream and I followed it, but you brought it downhill. Everything-- youâve ruined it. You ruined everything we had!â he then looks up at [M/N]Â âAnd if he wasnât so goddamn loyal to you, he probably would have left you just like everybody else!â Fundy took a step back, his ears pressing against his head when [M/N] glared at him.
âDonât spout out nonsense that will never happen.â Fundy took a breath, swallowing the amount of fear lingering in his heart as he took a step forward and glared up at [M/N], who didnât waver at his poor attempt to intimidate him.
âI thought you were something! The both of you!â [M/N] only rolled his eyes while Schlatt laughed, the wolfman looked down at the man within his arms and saw him gripping the arm around his shoulder.
âYeah... yeah I am something! I-Iâm what youâre not, Fundy!â he took a step back so he could look at Schlatt.
âWhat am I not?â he chuckles.
âI am a man!â now it was Wilburâs turn to step in front of his son before anything else could escalate, chaos began to erupt as they were all now planning to kill the both of them together, [M/N] took a breath to calm himself but the hand around Schlattâs body pressed against his chest and there he could feel the increasing speed of his heart thumping against his chest.Â
âSchlatt, thatâs it! Are you ready to die?â [M/N] immediately pushed Schlatt behind him in order to shield him âAre you ready to fucking die?!â
âFuck you!â he slurred out, Wilbur only rolled his eyes.
âTommy. Tommy, look at me.â the young boy looked at the former President âDo you still have Dreamâs bow?â he scanned through his inventory before pulling out said boy, pulling the wire back and clipping it into place.
âYes.â
âTommy... I want you to put it between his eyes.â Schlatt laughed at that, [M/N] glowered and didnât hesitate to get in his line of shot but was shocked when Schlatt pushed past him and got in front of Tommy, not a shred of fear in his eyes as the crossbow was pointed directly between his eyes.
âAre you guys really going to kill him?!â Karl shouted.
âWell, thereâs no other way.â he starts âVictory, or death!â Schlatt only laughs.
âYou know... if I die, this country goes down with me.â the room erupted into chaos once more, it didnât help when Technoblade was chanting âkillâ repeatedly, it probably would have annoyed him if not for the fact that the ongoing nonsense was taking its toll on Schlatt. His ears shot up in alert when he noticed him beginning to sway as beads of sweat began started forming on his head, he takes a step forward before letting out a shout when he noticed him stagger forward, using the chest to his side to stabilize himself before collapsing.
âSchlatt!â he shouts, rushing forward to catch him before he completely collapsed to the floor. Everything was fading from black into white from Schlattâs point of view, he was violently gripping his chest to the point his knuckles turned white and he was surprised that he hadnât torn his shirt. He was out of breath and he was trying his damned hardest to swallow some oxygen into his lungs but it was really difficult, his vision was blurry but he could just make out to image of [M/N] looming above him. The boy had turned himself into his half human/half wolf form and there he saw the tears threatening to fall down his cheeks but also the injured side of his body from taking the full blast of the firework, but what caught his attention was something glistening in his eyes, he looked down and there he saw the golden ring he gave [M/N] all those years ago hanging from his neck.
âHeh... after all these years, he still kept it.â he wheezed, he was shouting something but he couldnât make out anything he was saying âDamn, now I feel bad for leaving him behind.â he managed to give [M/N] a weak smile as he gently tapped his arm despite the amount of pain he was going through.
âIâm sorry for being a disappointment, my son...â [M/N] let out a shallow gasp as the tears finally started rolling down his cheeks.
âY-Youâre so cruel...â he raised his hand to grip onto the ring while his other held his hand âCalling me that after you stopped all those years ago... dad.â Schlatt gave him gave him a regretful, tear filled smile before his heart attack finally got the best of him and claimed his final canon life.
âDid... did he just have a heart attack?!â Tubbo shouts before the room erupted into laughter at the anti-climatic turn of events, but the only one who wasnât laughing was Technoblade. His eyes never left [M/N] as the hybrid wept in silence, cradling the deceased body of his father figure in his arms, but he couldnât really tell if his body was trembling out of anguish... or anger. He was astonished to see that he hadnât lashed out yet, if he were ever to be in that kind of situation with-- he closed his eyes, shaking his head to rid the thoughts plaguing his mind before looking back over to where [M/N] still had yet to move.
SCARY
POOR PUPPY
WE SHOULD KILL HIM
PUT HIM OUT OF HIS MISERY
HOW SAD
WHAT A SHAME
The hundreds of voices ringing in his head agreed that it would be better to put the man down, just the few brief encounters with him and how he would drop everything just to see if Schlatt was alright was enough to know that this wolfman would not be able to live with himself over the fact that he could not protect his owner. His hand was on the hilt of his blade as he took a step forward but paused when he noticed that Quackity was the first to approach [M/N], he remembered that the duck hybrid was the closest when it came to Schlatt and even [M/N] to the point that he kept his hands and fingers whenever he got close to either one of them, so perhaps Quackity thought he could be the one to talk some sense into [M/N].
âHey, [M/N], I know just how much Schlatt meant to you.â he starts, reaching down and placing a hand on his shoulder and giving it a light squeeze âBut you have to know that the guy that you were following around was a terrible person and that he wasnât going to change, this was for the better.â
â...â Quackityâs ears perked up at the sound of [M/N] mumbling under his breath.
âWhat?â he stumbled back when [M/N] suddenly stood up, this caught the attention of everyone and they all turned to face the duo but were shocked to see [M/N] reach forward and grab a fistful of Quackityâs hair through his beanie and hold it in a tight grip as he pulled his other fist back.
âGrit your teeth.â before he could react, [M/N]âs fist repeatedly slammed into his face with little to no hesitation, each punch being harder than the last that they were all surprised that Quackity was still conscious. Sam and Bad rush forward to grab a hold of [M/N] while Fundy grabbed the arm that was holding Quackity so Wilbur could pull him back âYou fucking piece of shit! Donât go saying that when you donât know anything me; when you donât know anything about him!â he turns to look at Bad so he punches him in the face, causing him to stagger backwards before reaching back and grabbing Sam by his head then throwing him over his shoulder.
âDammit! Take aim!â Wilbur pushed Quackity behind him and watched the others load their crossbows and aim them towards [M/N] who still didnât back down, tears ran down his face as he glared at the lot of them but his eyes zoned in specifically on Quackity.
â[M/N] is really valuable, heâs strong enough to go on par with Technoblade in a battle to the point he might be even stronger. I would have thought that once Schlatt died, it wouldâve been easier to get him to follow the orders of someone else, maybe even Dream.â he clicks his tongue âTo think that their relationship ran that deep. Shit.â
âWhat the fuck do you know about the both of us that allows you to run your mouth like that, huh?! You donât know anything!â he shouts, he grits his teeth as he slams a hand to his chest âYou may have been able to marry Schlatt, but he didnât love you the way he loved me! You may have been able to get close to us both, but there wasnât a time that when you were with us that I didnât hate you! I fucking HATE you! I hate you all!"
âYouâre overreacting, [M/N]!â Fundy shouts, [M/N] didnât hesitate to snarl at him and growl when a few people started getting closer to him.
âShut the fuck up! You donât get to talk when you canât even decide which side you want to be on.â his head lowers a little as he threads his fingers through his hair and fur, pulling at them as his pupils shrunk and started to shake, eyes bloodshot as the tears refused to stop falling âYou have no idea what Iâm going through, so donât even try to sympathize with me. You donât know what it was like watching the person who raised you slowly descend down into madness as the world was against him; you couldnât even fathom what it was like being at his side and not being able to do anything to help him. You have no idea what it feels to be so powerless despite being within arms length!â
â[M/N]...â Niki muttered softly, she flinched when he turned to glare at her.
âI donât want your pity... I have nothing now. You took the last thing that was worth living for from me, so I have nothing to live for.â their fingers were now on the trigger when he raised his head to look at them all and they all saw that broken smile on his face, eyes hazy as the tears continued to fall, his arms were slightly raised to show off his claws âThereâs nothing stopping me from taking at least one of you down with me.â
âThereâs nothing holding me back. Thereâs nothing stopping me from killing at least a few of them before dying myself. I have nothing to live for, so why good would it do if I just continued to live on?â he takes a step forward but his eye twitched when the golden ring reflected the sunâs rays into his eyes, this caused him to look down at it and his eyes briefly caught the sight of Schlattâs deceased body.
âItâs your turn to live your life, [M/N]. Get out of here and leave me behind.â
..
...
âAs my last order to you, I want you to forget about me and leave this place behind to live your own life.â
...
...
âI canât die yet.' the last bit of rationality, or rather sanity, returned and the haze in his eyes disappeared, he glanced down at Schlatt one more time before closing his eyes âThe least I can do is respect his last request.â
âFire!â he raised his at the order and countless arrows were fired at him, he managed to dodge most of them while using his arm to block them from hitting anything vital, not even wincing when they pierced through arm. He ignored them all as he turned his back to them, kneeling down and softly picking Schlatt up and cradling him close to his chest.
âWait.. no! Stop him!â they all couldnât react fast enough when [M/N] knelt down before leaping forward and using his shoulder to bust down the wall, he fell to his knees when he was outside of the Camarvan as the adrenaline was slowly beginning to fade away as his fatigue and exhaustion caught up with him, but he shook his head as he fought it down and fled the battlefield. By the time he was far away, he collapsed to his knees and was panting rather heavily, he looked down at Schlattâs motionless body and cried softly as he buried his face into his shoulder.
âIâm not ready yet, dad... donât leave me behind.â he sobbed to himself before laying Schlattâs body down, he then took a deep breath as he looked up at the sky, leaning against the tree before removing the arrows still in his arm. His arm throbbed in pain but it eased away when he pulled out a few regen potions and some golden apples, the wounds healed up instantly, he stared down at the arrow before crushing it, snapping it in two.
âWhat am I to do with my life now? There was never a time where I did something on my own accord without taking orders, thatâs just how I lived my life up to the age I am now.â he exhales deeply.
âNow what?â
