"They went for ice cream and then back to the restaurant! And then departed. May, where were you when this whole scheme was playing out?"
Tubbo looked at me directly in the eyes, he looked so serious despite this being a game.

His game.

A Boy's Game..

There are only Three more chapters after this one till the ending! Sorry I don't know how to write long fluffy stories that have zero angst or immense sadness in them so I thought up how to bring this book full circle-

Hope you all enjoy the rest!

"You can't be serious. We were all there."
I yawn, already feeling tired again despite being up for the past eight hours.

"So are you implying that we are actually the subjects in this case?"
Tubbo looked surprised.
"But how?"

"Tubbo you are hurting my head, can we please stop playing this stupid game and like, go stargazing or something? Even Tommy had left for home."
I whine.
"Please.."

"But if you're the murderer-"

I cut him off-

"I'm not a murderer, but I'm about to be in a minute if you don't quit it with the Big Law crap and become my Tubbo again. I miss him. He was cute and friendly."

"I'm cute?"
His cheeks took on a rosy pink as his voice broke.
"Thank you.."

"There you are!"
I smile at him.
"Let's watch the stars Tubbo. Just you and I."

He nods, still a tad flustered,

Recently, he has been quite easy to fluster, unlike when we first met when he would say things that would make me blush but he would be completely cool, I wonder what's up?

---

We adventured to the roof of a hotel, laying on the warm concrete as we looked up at the sky. We named some stars and then started drawling imaginary shapes with the white dots above us.

"This is actually my first time watching the stars with someone..I only ever thought-"
Tubbo went quiet, shaking his head and closing his eyes.
"Never mind. I didn't know what I was about to say anyways.."

His ears were red as I turned to look at the side of his face, what did he want to say?

"Are you alright Tubbo? You are all red."

He chuckled a bit, nodding.
"I'm fine..just a bit stupid."

"Stupid?"
I raise an eyebrow.

He went silent again in thought, then finally parted his soft pink lips to speak, choosing his words carefully, painting a cryptic picture.

"An ocean away is far, is it not?"
He started off with a question.

"Yes, It is."
I nod.

"Would you fall for someone in Germany living all the way in America?"
He asked another question.

"Well..My Grammy said-"

"Would YOU though. Imagine if her words were never spoken, and you just had to think of your own answer right here right now."

He was being so weird, the questions confused me.

"Yes. I would."
I spoke truely.

"Why? They are an ocean away."

"Tubbo, an ocean can't keep love apart. Love isn't materialistic, it isn't about the person physically. It is a feeling. And you can't stop feelings."
I turn my body to face him.
"Have you fallen for a girl far away?"

For some reason, asking that..it hurt, and I wanted him to say no..but why?

"She will be leaving soon."
He turned his body towards mine as well.

Who was he talking about?

"What is she like?"
I press him for answers.

His eyes examine mine, I try and hold back any clue that I was in pain I never thought I would feel.

Do I like Tubbo?

"She is pretty, and sweet like honey, and though we are close, we are super far. She doesn't take my hints I lay out in front of her either."

The case.

It was about Tubbo's heart-

But it doesn't make sense because he was accusing me of being the criminal.

Maybe he just got it wrong, or he was hiding his crush on said girl from Tommy and wanted to make it seem like it was just a joke-

But the places he took me the day we met and there after..were all locations we had been investigating.

So he took us both to the same places..? And both me and his crush shared that experience?

I felt a bit of anger build up in me, and for some reason, tears threatened to fall from my eyes as I sat up,

"Tubbo I think I'm gonna go home for tonight-"

"Wait why are you so upset? Was it something I said-?"
He took my wrist,

"Just leave me alone."
I snatched my wrist out of his hand quickly and stormed off, hiding in one of the many bathrooms in the hotel.

The tears fell from my eyes. Why did this hurt me so much? Shouldn't I be happy for him?

No..

I couldn't be happy for him because I knew I had started to like him and he ended up liking some other girl.

How could I be so stupid?

---

I walked back home alone that night, sneaking through the front door and up the steps to my room. I didn't want Grammy to see my puffy red eyes. I didn't want her to tell me she told me so. I didn't want her to know she was right.

That I would fall for Tubbo..
