Not Tommy Anymore

Chapter 19 - What Matters

Trigger Warnings -

Tommy jumped ever so slightly when Ranboo had started ranting out of worry. He calmed down when he realized it was just the enderman hybrid, turning around he pulled Ranboo into a tight hug. "I'm fine Ranboo!" He laughed.

Ranboo's heart melted right then and there as he heard the bubbly laugh. "Oh okay." He smiled, watching the blind boy hold on to him. Gently, he lifted a hand to the boys head and ran his fingers through the blonde hair. Tommy relished in the affection from it. "What are you doing here all alone, Bud?"

Tommy pulled away. "I'm here with Techno- we were looking for Ghostbur, but I'm glad I ran into you too!" He saw a pink color in the corner of his eye and turned towards it. "Techno! It's Ranboo, come here!"

Techno walked over, blood red eyes trained on the enderman hybrid. "Hi... raaaanboo." He dragged out the 'A' making the blonde boy laugh.

"Hi Technoblade." He smiled nervously, he was aware that he and Techno weren't on the best of terms just yet, but he hoped Techno would allow him to be near Tommy for now. "I heard you were looking for Ghostbur? He's actually at my house right now, or should be. We we're talking when I thought I had seen Tommy."

Tommy's blind eyes lit up. "Can we go see him now??" He cheered. Techno grabbed Tommy's hand and told Ranboo to lead the way.

Tommy saw the ghost- though blurry he'd recognized the colors anywhere. "Ghostbur!!" He exclaimed. Ghostbur smiled and came over, handing Tommy some blue. What surprised everyone was that the blue changed only the slightest bit, unlike the other times where it would turn a very dark navy blue, now it was just a light, almost grey, blue.

The boy and the ghost sat on the couch chatting nonsense- specifically Pasta.

"I like to sprinkle a little bit of sand on my pasta." The ghost stated. "Gives it a little bit of a crunch."

Tommy's face scrunched up in confusion and slight disgust. "That's weird Ghostbur- how are you supposed to slurp up the pasta though? If it's all crunchy and sandy- then doesn't the sand just get on your lips?"

"Oh no, that's spaghetti! Pasta's work fine, and only a little bit of sand. Spaghetti though sometimes if I don't get enough sand I just stuff in a handful after it." The ghost looked proud of himself for this.

Techno shook his head lightly before glancing at Ranboo for a second. He debated whether or not to say something, soon deciding against it.

"Uhm... how've you been, Techno?" Ranboo tried to fill in the silence between them. He didn't know if he was successful or not but he supposed not, when Techno only replied with a simple hum.

The four hung out at Ranboo's house for a while. Ranboo quickly joining in the conversations with Ghostbur and Tommy. Tommy seemed to be acting more normal than ever which made Ranboo happy, noting that living with Techno probably was his best option.

Techno kept watch out side for a specific green boy but eventually relaxed with the other three. The conversations they started ranged anywhere from weird to crazy, talking about sand and pasta was only weird, to give you a better idea.

Everything was good, as the sun set. Everything was fine, and enjoyable, Tommy was talking and happy, and that's what mattered.

{alright, I know it's short- like really short- but the next chapter is pretty long, I promise, I'm gonna start writing it today but it most likely won't be out today cause I'm not using my computer to write it right now. Anyway, enjoy this before I toss all your emotions out the window. Trust me, ask anyone who knows me, give me the chance and I will toss your emotions... not just out the window, but anywhere really. Have a good day!}
