Ranboo stretched as he woke up, he slowly sat up and looked over at the clock. The time was 11:50am, Ranboo yawned before getting out of bed and headed over to his wardrobe. He changed into a T-shirt, which was half black and half white, and some black jeans.

After changing he headed downstairs to get some breakfast, when he entered the kitchen he saw a note on the table. Ranboo went to the note and picked it up, he read it out loud.

"Hey Ranboo, just so you know me, Wilbur, Tommy and Techno have gone up to the shops to get some food. We didn't want to wake you so we left a note, don't make too much of a mess! We'll be home at around 13:30pm. From Phil :)"

Ranboo stared at the note for a second before realising something, he was at home, alone. "Alright, calm down Ranboo. They aren't leaving forever, they just went to the shop. They'll be back soon." he told himself in an attempt to calm down, he put the note back on the table and made breakfast.

After eating his food, he went into the living room. It was quiet, way too quiet. "Calm down, they're coming back." he told himself again, his breathing had sped up a bit. 'What to do, what do to...' he thought to himself, "Ahh I know, I can text Tubbo!" he said out loud.

Pulling out his phone, Ranboo scrolled through his contacts and stopped on Tubbo's. He clicked on it and opened messages.

Tubbo

Ranboo: Hey Tubbo!

Tubbo: eyyy memory boy!

Ranboo: What you up to?

Tubbo: just messing around with some bees

Ranboo: Sweet!

Ranboo and Tubbo texted each other for around an hour before Tubbo had to go, they both said goodbye before Ranboo turned his phone off. He was alone again. "It's too quiet..." he muttered, he gripped onto the bottom of his shirt.

He glanced at the clock, it was 13:05pm. "Okay, not long till they'll be back. I can wait." he told himself.

After about 5 minutes, Ranboo's breathing had become way too fast. His arms and legs had started shaking and tears threatened to fall. 'Stop being a baby Ranboo.' he thought, a discord notification came from his phone causing him to scream. He dropped the phone on the floor and collapsed onto his knees.

He pushed himself into a corner and pulled his knees up to his chest, he'd started to hyperventilate. "I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone." he kept repeating those words over and over, his voice growing shaky. Tears streamed down his face, another notification caused him to scream again. He gripped his legs and buried his head in them, he started to openly sob.

45 Minutes Later

"Ranboo, we're home!" Phil announced as he walked in the door, when he received no reply he frowned slightly. After taking off his shoes, Phil went into the living room. He saw Ranboo's phone abandoned on the floor, "Ranboo, you here mate?" Phil asked.

Wilbur, Techno and Tommy came inside and took off their shoes, Tommy went straight into the kitchen. "Dadza you alright?" Wilbur asked as he walked into the living room, "I'm fine, but I don't know where Ranboo is." Phil replied.

Wil scanned the room and noticed something in the corner, he went over and realised what it was. "Ranboo, hey you alright?" he asked, concern laced his voice. Ranboo didn't reply, he simply just continued to shake. "Dad he's over here." Wil called out, Phil came over and noticed the state Ranboo was in. 

"He's having a panic attack." Phil said as he kneeled down, he put a hand on Ranboo's shoulder. The sudden contact caused Ranboo to flinch, he slowly looked up at Phil and Wilbur. Wil's eyes widened when he saw how worked up Ranboo looked, it was clear he'd been crying a lot.

"Ranboo, what happened?" Wilbur asked, Ranboo looked at him before launching himself into Wilbur. He wrapped his arms around him and buried his head in his sweater. Wilbur stood in shock for a second before wrapping his arms around Ranboo. 

It took an hour to calm Ranboo down, once he was calm Phil spoke up, "So what happened mate?" he asked. Ranboo looked over at him, "I.. I don't like being alone..." he murmured, Phil went silent for a moment before realisation hit him. 'Ranboo's afraid of being alone.' he thought, "Ranboo, do you have autophobia?" Wilbur asked, Ranboo simply nodded. "Shit, sorry mate we didn't know." Phil apologised. Ranboo smiled, "It's fine."

That night, all of them spent their time together in the living room. Ranboo stayed attached to Wilbur. He realised he was no longer alone.
