Tubbo's POV:

When I woke up, I could see that it was pitch black outside Ranboo's window.

He was still asleep with his arms around me. His grip on me was loose enough for me to free myself from the warmth.

I got up and kissed him on the top of his head before going downstairs.

I stood in the kitchen debating on what to make him. The house didn't belong to me and his parents weren't home, so I couldn't make a massive meal like I wanted to.

Soup is good. I thought to myself. Then I started to cooking.

After I cooked the soup, I headed upstairs to Ranboo's bedroom.

When I opened the door, Ranboo was sitting up on his bed with his knees against his chest and his eyes barely open.

"How're ya feeling, big guy?" I asked and carried the bowl of warm soup to his bed.

"I'm alright." He mumbled and achieved the soup. "Thanks, Tubbo." He had a small smile. I could tell he was too tired to say much.

I sat down next to him and picked up my phone. I seen that I had two new messages. One was from Tommy and the other from an unknown number.

I read Tommy's in my head.

Hey, man, is everything alright?

I responded with a simple yet explanatory message.

Yeah, I took Ranboo home. He wasn't doing very well, but he's ok now.

After I sent it, I looked at the message from the unknown sender.

Hey, it's Lucus. Are you ok?

I was confused because I never gave him my number.

Yeah, it's all good. How did you get my number?

I sent the message and he immediately read it.

Tommy gave it to me. Are you with Ranboo?

I slowly read the message to myself.

Yes... Why?

I was a bit uncomfortable but I couldn't really understand why. I did only just meet Lucus today.

Just asking.

I decided to not reply with anything else. I didn't wanna continue messaging with him.

I sat there, staring at the messages. I read them over and over again without realizing it.

"Everything alright?" Ranboo noticed how I looked unstable.

"O-Oh, yeah, it's all good." I nodded nervously, but Ranboo didn't seem to buy it.

He curiously leaned back to see my phone screen. He raised an eyebrow after seeing I was messaging someone.

"Who's that?" He asked quietly.

"It's Lucus." I replied, forgetting that Ranboo didn't know who Lucus was.

"Is he that guy you were with earlier?" He asked.

"Yeah, that's him." I said. "I met him while I was crying on a park bench earlier. He offered to get me something to drink." I giggled softly.

"What? Why were you crying?" Ranboo asked concernly.

"I basically cried every day since I left you." I admitted, embarrassed about it.

"Awh." He chuckled. "It's fine now, though, because I'm here." He put one arm around me, smiling.

"Yeah, you are here." I smiled back, getting a nice, warm feeling inside.

I leaned over on his shoulder, making myself comfortable.

"So.." Ranboo started. "What were you and that Lucus guys texting about?" He asked, clearly trying not to sound jealous.

"He was just asking if I was alright." I giggled.

"Oh, ok then.." He answered, but I couldn't tell if he truly believed me or not.

I picked up my phone and pulled up Lucus and I's messages.

I put the phone in front of his face so that he could see I was telling the truth.

"I-" He tried to talk, but instead he just gently moved the phone out of his view. "I trust you, Tubbo."

I could tell he was at least slightly smiling.

"If you say so." I laughed quietly and put my phone away.
