Work Text:
Ranboo gathered up the last few seed he needed to replant the wheat he collected. He was making bread and getting ready to go down into the caves to go mining.
Nearby Phil was working with Wil on building him a house/antiquarian workplace for Wilbur to store all of his belongings as well as all the antics and important books Wilbur might find on his journeys while being a phantom.
Wilbur had left Phil for a moment hoping to go and search around the spawn area for the first items that will be stored in his collection; finding a book with the tittle, Do Not Read.
Curious, Wilbur read the book showed and confused he then rushed to put it back in the place he found it, wishing he had never read the stolen book.
O!Wilbur's POV:
Why do I always take things that aren't mine? There's a line that shouldn't cross when taking things and I think I just crossed that line.
Wilbur walks back to Phil through the earth passing in and out of phantom mode.
"Hey Phil I'm back"
"Hi mate"
"I know I just got back but I have to go and speak with ranboo for a second so I'll be right back"
"Okay wil I'll just keep on building, take your time"
Wilbur makes his way to ranboo over by the community wheat farm made by scott.
"Hey Wilbur, what's up?"
"Nothing much ranboo I just needed to talk to you about something important"
"Oh? okay then let's talk."
"No no, we can't talk here anyone could be listening, sneeg could be hiding in the grass around here somewhere"
"Oh you're right where shall we talk then?"
"Let's go to the basement of the pub(e)"
"Alright fine but make this quick."
Wilbur and ranboo make there way to the basement, with wilbur slowly climbing the ladder in his ghostly form while ranboo simply teleports to the top of the ladder. They enter the beloved build and make there way behind the counter and into the basement.
"Okay we're here now wil, what's so important that *cough cough* you had to take me down here it's creepy and super dusty."
"I just wanted to say ranboo... "
He paused for a moment
"Spit it out already Wil! I wanted to go mining and get more diamonds but your holding me up."
Should I tell him I read it? Surely not, he will be piss off at me and I don't know what he'll think let alone what he's capable of.
"Wilbur seriously if your not gonna say anything then I'm leaving..."
Ranboo walked taking a step towards the ladder
"N- no wait, um I have a lot of respect for you and um your very cool and stuff and I just wanted you to know that."
"Uh huh, that's it?"
"No, so I'm making a museum; well actually an antiquarian store for like important books and stuff, and it's all gonna be public work and stored in a little library shop thing that Phil is building for me right now"
"Are book really that important?"
"What?" Wilbur's brows furrowed
"I mean whose entire life story is based around a book, that's kinda lame"
Ranboo's look was so serious towards Wilbur even though he's see through. It was as if he was staring into his soul.
Does he know? There's no way.
"I think I'm gonna go and talk to Phil now"
"Oh ok then"
"You see I don't like the direction he going in with the building, I think it looks a bit scary"
"Yeah okay you should go"
"Bye"
"Buh by-"
Wilbur quickly left the room before ranboo could finish his goodbye. Wil made his way back to where Phil was building now joined by tubbo and sneeg.
"Hey guys"
"Sup Wil" said sneeg
"Hello Wilbur" said tubbo
"Hi mate"
"Hey Phil I think you should change the look of this to try and match the pub(e) more."
"Yeah, I think so too" tubbo stated his voice buzzing
"Yeah, okay I can do that"
"Anyways I have some information about ranboo, don't ask any questions or how I know/got the info but I think you should stay away from him"
"Okay but that doesn't change to much" tubbo said
"That's pretty anonymous Wilbur" sneeg said
"I'm not trynna be just trust me okay?"
