Cuddle days

        Tommy was to put it simply, drained. His hands and feet hurt. Wilbur had sent him to get stone and made him work later. He was not going to go back tomorrow, he needed a break. He walked to snowchester not even flinching at the cold air. When he got to the mansion, he wasn't expecting anyone to be up due to how late it was. He slowly opened the door and to his surprise saw a distressed ranboo, whose face lit up when he saw tommy. 

"Tommy! There you are, you were not home when you usually are and didn't text! You made me worried" Tommy realized he stupidly didn't text ranboo in his "work no play" haze. He almost face palms then realizes his hands are still cut up, he winces "Sorry boo, i worked late for Wilbur and forgot to text i would be home late" Ranboo nodded and looked down to see tommy's cut up hands "Woah, what happened?" He said while walking over to grab a first aid kit. Tommy smiled softly "I was mining for like 6 hours straight. I'm not meeting Wilbur tomorrow i don't care what he says im fuckin exhausted" tommy says while ranboo came back with the kit and started to patch him up. Ranboo nodded "You need to get some sleep, your eyebags are getting bigger" he teased. Tommy dramatically gasped and ranboo put the last bandaid on his hand. "Boo! How could you? I trusted you!" Tommy says while dramatically falling on the couch and kicking his shoes off then putting a hand over his eyes. He and ranboo laughed at this. Ranboo sat down on the other side of the couch and Tommy crawled over to him, plopping his tired body on top of his. "We are cuddling and you have no say in it" ranboo chuckled and smiled softly at the younger "Alright" They moved around to get comfortable for a moment then Ranboo pulled the blanket off of the top of the couch and spreaded it on top of them, then turning off the light and falling into a blissful sleep.

Then they were rudely awoken by tommys communicator ringing. Tommy groggily opened his eyes and groaned. He reached a hand to grab his communicator and answered the call "hello?" He had to hold back a groan when he heard the voice on the other side "Tommy, where are you." Wilbur sounded angry, he knew this was not a question but a demand and he was immediately snapped out of his groggy haze. "Wil i told you I was taking the day off today"  he hears a sigh on wilburs end "I didn't tell you you could have the day off" what. He almost jumped at a hand in his hair, gently carding through it in an attempt to calm him down. He looks up and sees ranboo mouth "are you alright?" Tommy mouthed back "Wilbur wants me to come in even though i said i was taking the day off" he heard wilbur call his name breaking the silence "Whatever just come in today" tommy tries to speak "but-"

"I SAID COME IN" Tommy jumps at Wilbur's tone. Ranboo takes that as a sign to grab the communicator and he speaks before Tommy can stop him "Hello wilbur. I'm sorry Tommy's not coming in. You had him working non-stop for weeks. I do not care what the hell you say, he needs sleep and if you have a problem you can take it up with me. You should get some sleep yourself. It will make you look less dead." Ranboo says venom lacing his voice and ends the call before Wilbur could answer. He turns the communicator off and places it on the side table. Tommy was shaking "He's gonna come here. He's gonna be mad" ranboo pulls tommy closer to his chest and runs a hand through his hair softly whispering and letting out soft vwoops ''shhh shhh. It's alright, he's not going to hurt either of us. You'll be alright."  Tommy presses his face into ranboos chests and wraps his arms around his torso. It takes a bit before tommy calms down, and ranboo hears him sniffle then giggle "That was kinda badass though boo" ranboo smiles softly "Not as badass as you everyday toms'' tommy giggles again then speaks up "mmm i'm gon be little" ranboo smiles "Go ahead hun, I'll be right here with you" and then tommy just let the fog of little space take over his exhausted brain. Tommy snuggled into his caregivers embrace. Ranboo was a bit weary about taking care of little tommy, he never had done it alone. Him and tubbo were tommys caregivers but tubbo was more skilled per say on taking care of tommy because he had done it for years. Tubbo had told ranboo he was naturally parental over tommy, even told him he found ranboo in enderwalk state sitting by tommys bed just petting his hair and smiling. Ranboo could understand why he cared for Tommy so much. How could he not? Tommy was like the sun, brightening everyone's day. He was snapped out of his thoughts by Tommy speaking "Boo? Can we hawve a cuddle day?" Ranboo smiled again, "Of course sunshine" Tommy giggled at the nickname "Now would my sunshine like to stay down here or make a big big fort of blankets and snacks upstairs?" Tommy's smile grew "Upstaiws!" Ranboo sits up then picks up Tommy and places him on his hip. He walks to the kitchen grabbing a bag full of snacks, which he admittedly put there for this, and walks up the stairs "Oof you're getting heavy. What have tubs been feeding you?" He teased and Tommy giggled burying his face into ranboos shoulder. They get upstairs and to the room and Ranboo realized that the door wasn't locked. He sets tommy on the bed "stay here while i go grab some more blankets okay?" Tommy nods "otay!" Ranboo speedwalks downstairs and locks the door, both front and back, then grabs more snacks and the biggest blanket he could find. He walked back upstairs to see Tommy kicking his legs back and forth waiting for his caregiver. Ranboo places the blanket and snacks down on the bed and Tommy makes grabby hands at him so he lies down beside the little opening his arms. Tommy jumps into his arms snuggling up to the older. Ranboo pulls the blankets over them. He rana hand through Tommy's hair while slowly falling asleep again. When tubbo got home he didn't wake them, just took a picture and cried a tiny bit. Then joined tommy and ranboo with Michael.
