a/n: idk why but I just imagine Ranboo and Iris being from Oregon. I think about this at least once a day. Also, I was looking at my outline for this and I may have totally forgot that she has a cat which is a part of the plot- so if I haven't mentioned the cat in the past couple chapters it's because It high key just left my mind.

"how are you?" the credits roll for the 3rd rom com we had watched that day, I only shrugged in reply. Juniper mewled before jumping out of my lap, she had become pretty restless after staying with us on the couch for hours.

"do you wanna talk?"

I shake my head.

"let's eat something" he sighs before pulling me up from the couch,

"what do you wanna make?" we walk over to the kitchen island, and I sit at one of the bar stools and shrug once more.

"well we have to eat something," he chuckles before scavenging through my pantry, "grilled cheese?" Ranboo smiles as he pulls out some bread, I nod in response.

After Ranboo made me eat the grilled cheese, I wanted to go back to the couch, but Ranboo stopped me.

"you wanna talk?" I stared at the floor, not wanting to reply.

"well we have to either way" he pulled out a chair and motioned for me to sit.

"listen, I think that—people care about you—and you don't realize that—yet" he says slowly.

"and—the stans have no idea what they're talking about—they just follow the crowd"

"you got that?"

I felt a little comfort in Ranboo's words, so I smiled as I nodded. Ranboo's face lit up at my small motion.

"good, let's watch another movie" he smiled and grabbed the remote.

The next two days consisted of Ranboo and I lounging around my apartment, unfortunately, it was Sunday. I had to go back to classes for Monday through Thursday, I always had Fridays off, that's just how the schedule fell. I had been trying to talk more too, and I was doing better mentally.

"I have an idea—I just want to ask someone else really quick" Me and Ranboo were discussing how to spend our last night together of the weekend. I nodded as he pulled out his phone.

After a minute of feverish texting, Ranboo smiled, "alright, can we play Minecraft?" he tilted his head as he asked.

"sure" I shrugged, and he cheered giddily.

"why so excited?" I wondered as we walked to my room,

"I just wanna play the block game" he smiled and pulled out his laptop.

"do you want to try and speedrun or something—" I hovered over the create new world button, but Ranboo stopped me,

"uh—no I already have a world up—lemme just show you the IP" he turns the screen to me and waits until I have the set of numbers in.

"ok, im joining" I pulled out my words as it loaded the game.

Eyeris joined the game

I had joined in a spruce biome, multiple dirt and cobble walls littered the area.

"have you already been building on here?" i inspected the terrain.

<The_Eret> IRIS! How are you :D

"why's Eret on this—" I turned around in my chair, staring Ranboo dead in the eyes, he smiled guiltily.

"please don't tell me this is..." I trailed off, looking back at my monitor.

<OllieMolly> when she doesn't respond to your texts but joins the smp instead-

"don't worry, I checked, no ones streaming" Ranboo held up his hands in defense.

"Ranboo you are so smart, but I hate you so much right now" I shook my head as I turned around in game, seeing Ranboo approach me.

He shifted in front of me and nodded his head a bunch,

"why am I here?" I say blankly.

"because its fun here" he responds.

"what's so fun about it?" I respond in a prissy matter,

"children being manipulated by homeless green Teletubby" Ranboo said before we crumble into laughter.

"do I have to join the lore now?" I groaned,

"Ollie did propose a good storyline for you, but only if you want in"

"I'll have to think about it—but what do you even do on here?" I looked around as we started making our way to the main area.

"get OP, grief houses, start wars in your free time.." Ranboo trails off as we approach the community house. Ollie approaches us and crouches repeatedly before handing me a poppy.
