3rd person POV

Two teenagers layed on top of each other. The shorter amongst them laying upon the taller one, snuggling their head into his chest.

"Willowwwww~" A soft, hushed voice slowly wakes up the person in question

"Mmmm I don't wanna wake up" She answers, muffled by Ranboo's shirt

"I don't want you to either, but we have to start the day eventually"

"But if we start the day then you'll eventually leave. And if I stay on top of you, then you can't get up. Therefore, you can never leave me" Their way of thinking was pretty advance, it being they woke up a total of seconds ago.

Ranboo chuckles at their response and stares into the small face laying upon his chest.

They had fallen asleep cuddling the night prior. Unsurprisingly, one of the greatest nights of sleep they both had.

"Willow, I let you sleep in 20 minutes past the time we were supposed to get up. If we don't get ready soon then I'm gonna miss my flight"

"Your point?"

"Alright then, have it your way"

Ranboo stands up, holding Willow in his arms to ensure she doesn't fall from his sudden standing position. Doing so earning a small yelp of surprise from the smaller one.

"You are a fucking bitch.." Willow murmurs into his ear, laying her head in his shoulder

"Now either I'm gonna have to change clothes with you clinging onto me, or you're gonna get off and give me my privacy" Ranboo says, looking at the face resting on his shoulder

Willow doesn't move, nor does she reply

"Wow I actually thought that'd get you off of me..What do I gotta do to make you go get ready?"

"Hmmmm, I don't know"

Ranboo comes up with an idea and starts peppering their face and neck with little kisses, causing Willow to blush

"Ugh ugh fine, you're making me seem like a fucking bottom" Willow says, finally jumping off of the tall boy

"Maybe you SEEM like a bottom because you ARE a bottom"

"I will literally kick you in the balls" Willow says, completely serious

"Alrighty then, how about you go get dressed before I become infertile"

*Time skip brought to you by Ranboo eye reveal!!*

Everyone was ready and crowding by the door. Ranboo had his suitcase and bags in his hands, and help Willow's with his only free hand. Willow was tearing up, clinging onto Ranboo's arm. The dream team shared sad smiles looking upon the couple that wasn't even technically official yet.

"I'm getting warflashbacks from the first time we were in this situation" Willow joked

"Sad goodbye group hug 2.0?" Dream asks, holding his arms out for a hug

"Electric bugaloo" Ranboo responds sadly

And with that, the 5 Twitch streamers embraced each other in a warm, but sad group hug.

The hour long drive to the airport felt more like 20 minutes. The ride was filled with blasted music, broken humored jokes, and teary eyes as Dream drove. That was, until, they finally arrived at the large building.

"Deja vu can be a real bitch sometimes" Willow says sadly as the group walks throughout the airport

"At least this time I can say what I was meaning to say last time" Ranboo says with a grin, reminiscing on the last time he left

"And what might that be?" Willow smiles as well

"That I love you. And that I care about you more than you could ever know" They make eye contact

"You're such a dumbass hopeless romantic" Willow brings the hand she was holding up to her lips to place a kiss, or two, onto it

They walked, hands swinging and eyes watching each other. It was a peaceful moment of bliss. The thought that Ranboo and Willow would have to leave each other soon was still dug into the back of the brains, but they felt that the present was more enjoyable and that they should focus on that at the moment.

However, maybe they focused a little too hard. Because the yelling and screaming that they heard really struck them out of their trance like a flying brick.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" A loud masculine voice yells from behind the group

The group turned around, as did everyone else who heard the loud yelling in the airport. It didn't take long to realize that the police was running after there very group. The whole group stopped in a panic, confused in if the running police was actually after them or not for whatever reason.

"Sir, you're under arrest" The police says, manhandling Dream and putting him in cuffs

"WHAT?? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? WHAT DID I DO?" Dream yells, confused on why he was being arrested

"WHAT THE FUCK? WHY ARE YOU ARRESTING HIM" Sapnap yells in protest

Willow and Ranboo stood in astonishment, hearts pounding out of their chest and their hands clenched together in pure fear and confusion. Willow's breath was becoming uneven watching their brother get arrested for god knows what reason.

"You're being arrested for carrying unauthorized weapons in an airport. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say or do can be held against you in court. Pat him down for the weapons" The officer said in a very serious tone

"Weapons?? I don't have any weapons!" Dream protested, obviously the officers ignored him

"He doesn't have any, I know he doesn't. You've got to have the wrong person" George attempts to defend his best friend

An officer that was going through the small airport bag that Dream was carrying took out a small pocket knife, most likely the weapon in question.

"W-WHAT?" Willow yelled in confusion, at this point they were beginning to have a full blown panic attack

"L-listen, please breathe for me Willow. This is got to be some sort of set up" Ranboo says, grabbing onto Willow's arms are attempting to calm her down

"That knife was not in his bag when we left, I know for a fact it wasn't" Sapnap tells the officers

"Your friend here will have a chance to speak in court, but for now the evidence is there"

"P-please, don't take h-him away this is a b-big mistake, p-p-please" Willow pleads, more tears rolling down every word she speaks

Ranboo hugs her, both for the effort of trying to comfort them and making sure they don't run off and do something that would make the situation worse. Willow reached their arm out, making eye contact with Dream as he was taken away by the police.

"Fuck.." Sapnap murmurs, causing Ranboo to leave the hug "Willow, Jaxon. Me and George are going to the police station with Clay. Are you guys coming with?"

"There's no way in hell I'm letting Willow go there in the middle of a fucking panic attack" He states with protectiveness "I'll get an uber back home, go help Dream and get this figured out"

"Alright, alright. I'll pay you back for the uber later, yeah?" Sapnap says in a hurry, as Dream gets pulled farther and farther away from the group

"Sapnap, I'm a millionaire dumbass. Go help Dream! We'll be fine" Ranboo's anger beings to build up

"Ok, I'm sorry. Willow, I love you. Don't worry, we'll figure this out" He gives Willow a reassuring look, of which wasn't very reassuring to her

He turns back to Ranboo saying "Please take care of them. See you in a bit, I'll call you later"

Willow and Ranboo watch as Sapnap catches up with George, Dream, and the police. Willow was still in the middle of a terrible panic attack

"Hey Willow, I know this is terrible but please just try to breath for me" Ranboo says, grabbing into Willow's hands

Willow nods through uneven breaths, attempting to fix her odd patterned inhales and exhales. However, doing so was not very easy to her and they were starting to become light headed.

"Here" Ranboo places Willow's hands onto his chest "Feel like my chest goes up and down and try to match it's pace"

After a minute or so of breathing exercises, Willow was no longer breathing heavily. If they didn't have Ranboo there with them, the panic attack most likely would have lasted hours.

Flight 316 is now boarding

"R-Ranboo, that's y-your flight" Willow looks up at Ranboo with fear in her eyes that head have to leave her alone with this mess

"Correction, WAS my flight" Ranboo starts leading Willow towards the exit of the airport

"What? J-Jaxon, no. Just because this a v-very shitty situation, that doesn't mean you h-have to miss going back home" The guilt in Willow's stomach sat still like a kidney stone

"Willow, I love you. There's no fucking way in hell that I'm gonna leave you alone in the middle of an airport after your brother just got fucking arrested"

"I guess you're right.."

With Ranboo's arm around Willow, they waited for the uber to arrived. Willow was still crying, just her breathing wasn't making them as light headed anymore. She still felt like they could pass out at any moment.

Soon enough, the uber arrived

"Driver for Jaxon?" The driver asked as me and Jaxon got in

"Yes, thank you so much"

"Of course! Oh dear, are you alright? Do you need anything? I've got water, candy, gum, some blankets near your feet. Just let me know, hun" They say sweetly, beginning to drive to the Dream Team household

"No, I'm good, thank you. Just a really shitty day so far" Willow responds with a short, sad laugh

"This fellow here isn't bothering you, right?" They ask suspiciously

"No, Mx. I trust him with my life, I appreciate the concern though"

"Of course, hun" The person smiles

Even through lots of stress, Willow was still very observant. They inspected the car thoroughly. The blankets the driver had spoken of was indeed by her feet. There were fairy lights hanging around the top of the car. She could see what the driver looked like.

Light peach colored hair, of which was similar to Tubbo's. A very alternative style clothing, wearing a red plaid skirt and a graphic t-shirt and a lot of other accessories. Chain necklaces, beaded bracelets, and a septum piercing. All that Willow could describe them as was "Gender & attractive"

Near the driver in the windshield was stickers, of which stating "He/She/They/Xe", another one was a name tag saying "Rix", along with a bisexual flag

"I uh couldn't help but notice your bisexual flag sticker" Willow said, scared about the interaction

"Oh, uhm, yeah" They answer nervously with a small laugh "I'm bisexual"

"I am too!" Willow says happily, glad to have a little bit of spark in the new coming darkness

"Oh wowzas, that's awesome!! Could I maybe ask your name and pronouns?" They ask with a smile

"Willow, she slash they. And I'm guessing yours is Rix?"

"You've got it, haha!"

"I feel very left out as a cis straight man" Ranboo peeps in

"EWWWWWW" The two bisexuals say at the same time, causing everyone in the car to laugh

Throughout the entire hour long car ride, the 3 talked. They become closer and close, talking about mutual hobbies and likings, sharing their favorite music, showing where they bought their clothes. It was nice for Willow to have a bit of distraction. That was, until they reached home.

"It was really nice meeting you! Thank you so much for talking with me throughout the ride, it really helped to distract me" Willow said thankfully

"Of course! Glad I could help..do you think I could possibly have your number? I'd love to be friends. But if not, it's perfectly fine, don't feel pressured"

"Y'know what? What the hell. My number is *** *** ****"

"Awesome! I hope you feel better. Let me know if there's any updates in your brother!"

"Will do" Willow says before her and Ranboo leave the dark blue car

As the car drives away, the two share eye contact filled with dread

"Let's go get some rest, yeah?" Ranboo says, putting his hand out for Willow to take

They do so with a sad smile and they both walk into the Dream Team household, of which currently was lacking of the Dream Team.

Hands still held together, Ranboo leads Willow to her room. He takes off both his shoes, and Willow's shoes. He then picks Willow up bridal style and softly places them on her bed, tucking her into the comforter. Doing so without a word, he then climbs in next to them and immediately wraps his arms around her waist.

"Well then, Mr. Gentlemen" Willow says with a slight chuckle, snuggling into Ranboo

"I know how exhausted you are after panic attacks, especially ones where you get light heated. You should take a nap and try to relax" Ranboo says, looking at Willow with serious eyes

"Yeah but..I have a stream with Toby planned today"

"Not anymore"

"What? Ranboo, I'm okay enough to stream. Maybe it'll help my mood?"

"No way. I know you, Willow. You'll act odd all stream, constantly zone out, then you'll get anxious that chat will notice which will just makes things worse. On top of that, you'll ask Tubbo to end stream early because your, quote, 'a bit exhausted from the day' and chat will get even more suspicious. Plus, I know that wether or not you do the stream today, you're not gonna stream for another week or so, maybe even more because you're so exhausted from the anxiety of it" Ranboo states a tee of how Willow reacts to stress and streaming

Astonished be the accuracy, Willow stays silent

"Like I said, I know you Willow. The best thing for you right now is to rest" He responds with reassurance and love

Willow grabs her phone from their pocket, putting in the code and going towards messages to text Tubbo

"Yoink" Ranboo snatches Willow's phone "I'll text Tubbo, if you go on your phone then you'll get distracted by Twitter or something for hours and that's not good when you need rest"

They just stare at each other until Willow finally makes their response, "You're really stressed right now"

"W-what do you mean?" He answers, confused

"You know me really well, I probably know you better. I am an empath, y'know. When you get super stressed, you get really protective" She yawns mid sentence "and try to do things to distract yourself. Remember when you had that big finals test to do? Me, you, Toby, and Tom all went on call and anytime they said something remotely rude to me as a joke, you defended me and threatened them"

"I guess we know each other really well" He gives a short response back

"Mhmmm"

"Maybe to the point where I can tell that you're really tired" He chuckles

"Not really, just a little maybe" Willow lies

Ranboo brings his head towards the top of Willow's head, gently scratching her scalp as to relax her. He knew this was the main thing to get them to sleep.

"Okayyyy, maybe I might be a bit more tired than I thought" Willow says with their eyes closed

Ranboo silently laughs and smiles at her adorable tactics. Once he's sure they're fully asleep, he goes onto messages

🪳🌿

they found a pocket knife, but we all knew he never put it in there

i'm still so confused on it though, none of it connects

💍

willow is asleep, they had a big panic attack and almost passed out

george and sapnap went to the police station with dream

how'd the pocket knife get in there? how'd the police know it was there? why is he getting arrested for such a small thing? it doesn't all make sense

🪳🌿

Ranboo turns of Willow's phone, not having any plan to snoop through it. In turn, he picks up his own phone and logs onto Twitter. He was hoping that they wouldn't make it too big of a deal

Ranboo

@Ranboosaysstuff

very important info on behalf of willow (sky), dream, sapnap, and george /srs

www./twitlonger.com

hello everyone! hope you're all doing well. i have some news, talking in behalf of willow (also known as skylitdreamer for those who don't know lmao), dream, sapnap, and george.

first off, do not theorize about any of this. you should be happy that they even gave me permission to let you know about their absence for the next couple days. i don't wanna see this trending on twitter, any theories on what happened, any accusations, etc. everything you theorize about will be wrong and just put falsehoods into people's heads, causing rumors to spread around and misinformation spread

with that being said, the dream team household will not be active very much for the next couple weeks at the minimum. we don't know how long it'll be, so please don't ask. there was an accident, that's all i'm going to say on behalf of their privacy. don't worry, no one is hurt whatsoever, but it's a complicated situation that will take a long time to fix.

if they want to eventually tell you what happened, then they will. but, again, do NOT speculate on what's happened. this is their privacy and personal issues, they do not need the added stress of a bird app trying to figure out what's going on in their lives.

thank you for understanding, i love you all and so does the dream team + willow

(also, for those wondering, i'm staying in florida for a bit longer. but do not expect much content, i'll try my best)

The replies looked a little something like this:

_Your_Average_Bean_: i hope everything's alright :( ty ranboo

willhoe: sending love to the dream team household

ohdreeeem: they probably all got in a fight or smth
