Ranboo POV

I got to the bathroom door and knocked with no answer. I knocked again a bit louder.

"Yeah?"

"Can I come in?" I asked quietly the door knob shook and the door opened, just as it did a loud boom of thunder was outside Tubbo then jumped onto me it surprised me and I was going to push him off, I had understood now. He was scared of the storm that's why he was crying he had a panic attack. I took his hand, I didn't mean to, I genuinely didn't like it when people touched my hands because of the burns there but he was being careful. and we walked into my room he was still crying and he had his over hand on his ears, I sat him down onto my bed I looked at him with a questioning look not really knowing what to say, 'are you ok?' seemed stupid he obviously wasn't. I wasn't ever good at comforting other. Thunder boomed outside again and he dug himself onto me again, he was rather jumpy. I wasn't expecting him to clung to me so much, I sighed a bit and I pulled him onto me. I started to rub his back to cry to distract him, I mean I barely knew Tubbo but I wanted to help him. I laid down and pulled the blankets over top of us to try and comfort him. I tired to remember what Wilbur or Bill did to calm me down. This wasn't anything more then just me trying to help someone in need, I must admit him being this close to me made me a bit uncomfortable but this wasn't about me.

"Hey Tubbo, can you count with me please?"

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10" We counted together slowly it went on for about 30 minutes and then my chest where he was crying started to sting I didn't want to disrupt him, his sobs stopped after about an hour I soon fell into a sleep.

I woke up in the orphanage did Phil give me up through the night? I groaned and looked around Bill was no where in sight I took my memory book and looked through it only to see nothing written about any person I met. Was it all just a dream? I started to shake a little and then my door opened I prayed it was Bill, I needed to talk to someone however to my surprise it was Phil

I sighed with relief but he glared at me and walked over to me backing me up to my bed he grabbed the collar of my shirt.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" he yelled at me I cried I was scared, he slapped me hard I fell onto the bed and my nose was now bleeding he grabbed me again and flung me out the door into the kitchen it was Wilbur he had his arms crossed and was glaring at me I was already crying.

"WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN? I'VE BEEN WAITING ON YOU FOR A HOUR NOW!" he yelled too he walked towards me but I ran so fast out the door of the orphanage. I wanted Bill right now. I was so scared I just ran for my life. Only to look back and see Wil run after me I soon ran until I feel over and was consumed by darkness.

I woke up in a cold sweat thank god that was a nightmare. I looked down to see Tubbo snuggled into my chest asleep. It made my face a bit hot, I was more then likely blushing, from embarrassment though. Right?. I looked to my left to nightstand at the clock. It was 3:48am. I looked down and carefully rubbed Tubbo's back until I fell asleep again.
