Chapter Text
It’s the war of L’Manberg. Everyone’s been on edge since it was confirmed that they were gonna have ta fight their own people in order for them ta rejoin the Greater SMP. Sapnap had spent countless hours trainin for this. He’s honestly hopin that the people of L’Manberg will surrender without anyone comin ta blows.
His hopes were dashed, unfortunately, as the battle commenced. He tried ta keep track of his people but in all of the chaos, he couldn’t keep an eye on any of them. Sapnap gave up on that and instead chose ta focus on keepin himself alive. He was workin his way to where Wilbur was supposedly spotted. Maybe if he could reach him in time he could talk Wilbur inta surrenderin.
Sapnap was almost there when he found himself engaged in combat with some L’Manberg fighter. He was doin well until the sound of a small explosion distracted him. The L’Manberg fighter took advantage of his lack of concentration to stab him with their sword. Sapnap couldn’t believe his luck! Stabbed in the stomach and left ta die painfully on his own. His opponent didn’t even have the kindness ta put Sapnap outta his misery before leavin him there!
Sapnap woulda ordinarily have used a healin potion for this but he had already used all of the healin potions that he had on him when the battle started. It wasn’t intentional. He just kept gettin stabbed. It was better that he was the one gettin stabbed than some of his fellow comrades though. He honestly didn’t want anyone ta die but this was war and death happened ta be a big part of any kind of war.
Sapnap continued to fight despite his unhealed wound. He wasn’t gonna give up the fight because of an injury that could easily be fixed when he comes across an ally who had healin potions. He just had ta last long enough ta make ta them. At least that’s what he thought was gonna happen.
Instead, none of his allies had any healin potions left themselves. The L’Manberg fighters were vicious and uncompromisin. His fellow warriors were downin their healin potions like they were goin outta style! Sapnap didn’t know how long he was gonna last now!
Sapnap was runnin outta time ta get healin potions. He knew that his reactions were slowin down. He kept fightin though. He couldn’t give up now. He knew that with the way things were now that he was gonna die. He had ta try and make it ta Wilbur.
Sapnap miraculously made it ta the side of the mountain where Wilbur was hidin from everyone. This was it! His chance ta get Wilbur ta surrender peacefully without any more bloodshed. He rushed in there and was surprised ta see Philza in there with Wilbur. That didn’t matter! He needed ta get Wilbur’s attention though he doubted that it would be a good idea ta interrupt the convo that Phil and Wilbur were havin. Phil might actually be able ta do what Sapnap came here for.
Sapnap was hopeful that Wilbur would surrender until he saw the very obvious button that was attached ta several stacks of TNT. He couldn’t let this happen! He had ta do something!
“Wil! Please don’t do this!”, Sapnap pleaded.
Wilbur turned ta look at him with surprise. Like he couldn’t really believe that Sapnap was there. Sapnap was confused about Wilbur’s reaction.
“Sap? How are ya here?”
“What do ya mean? Of course, I had ta be here! I can’t let ya do this Wil! There’s gotta be another way! Please stop!”
“Sap, don’t ya see this is the only way! I can’t let them take my kingdom from me the way they took ya!”
“What? I’m right here Wil! I’m right here! I’m still with ya! I’ll be with ya even if ya lose L’Manberg. I’m not gonna leave ya!”
Something dark and twisted crossed over on Wilbur’s face. Sapnap saw Phil flinch in the corner of his eye while the said man looked sadly at Sapnap.
“They already did! Take a good look at ya! Tell me again how ya still with me?”
Sapnap looked down at himself and couldn’t contain the horrified gasp. His body was translucent like a ghost. No, Sapnap realized not like a ghost but an actual ghost. He looked behind himself but didn’t see his body at all.
“Ya died six hours ago. I saw it happen. They killed ya! I mean I know that it was one of my soldiers but they had been told that ya weren’t gonna be here. Dream promised me that he wasn’t gonna send ya inta battle. He lied. HE LIED AND I LOST YA BECAUSE OF IT!”
“Dream didn’t lie. He had kept me back. Locked in Prime Church. I’m the one who broke out.”
“Why? Ya were safe there!”
“I had ta be here with ya Wil! I had ta try and make ya stop. Make ya see another way!”
“Why? Why risk everythin for me?”
“BECAUSE I LOVE YA!”
Wilbur looked so pained but hopeful as he gazed at Sapnap.
“Do ya mean it?”, Wilbur whispered shakily.
“I do! I mean it even if it was one of the biggest surprises of my life. I never thought I could genuinely fall in love with anyone. Yet here I am confessin to the man, the sweet wonderful man who has always brightened my day whenever I gotta see ya. The man who would write me poems or tell me funny jokes when I was upset just ta make me laugh. Even when we were fightin I still wanted ya in my life. For me, there was never anyone else but ya and well, now there never will be anybody but ya. Not that I’m upset by that! In fact, I’m quite glad that my first and last love gotta be ya.”
“Then, I don’t want anyone else but ya Sap! I don’t care what it takes ta stay with ya!”
Sapnap thought that this would be the end of it. That Wilbur would stop the war. In a way, he was right about that. He couldn’t do anythin but watch in horror as Wilbur bombed L’Manberg and was then stabbed by Phil before he died in his dad’s arms.
Sapnap didn’t wanna believe it. He couldn’t have just watched the man he loves die like that. He knew logically that Wilbur towards the end was gettin unstable but he didn’t know that it meant that he was suicidal. He couldn’t stand lookin at Wilbur’s corpse so he left for the one place he could always feel happy in.
“Now, it’s just the two of us. What do ya think’s gonna happen now that we’re both dead?”, Ghostbur questioned Ghostsap.
“We get ta spend forever together. Or we’ll have until Tommy wants his big brother back and kicks up enough fuss ta make it happen.”
“I’m not gonna leave ya if that happens. I’ll make Tommy understand that we’re a package deal now and forever.”
“Now and forever? I love the sound of that.”
“I love ya Sap.”
“I love ya too Wil.”
