A/n: sorry if this chapter is a bit bad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friend?

Ranboo couldn't believe Tubbo had called him his friend, especially since they had just met.

"Does Phil know about your little friend, Tubbo?" Tommy said in a questioning tone with a sly smile.

"No, he's hurt. I want to help him." Tubbo said, he looked like he was about to cry. But he wasn't, he was doing it to make Tommy feel bad, and of course it had worked.

"Fine, just don't cry Tubbo! I don't want Phil to know that we're awake!"

And with that, Tubbo went to grab bandages for Ranboo. He didn't really know how to help him since water burns him, but he'll try his best to help him. Tommy on the other hand, was a bit frightened of Ranboo, he was a bit tall and and he had some kind of suit on? Tommy wasn't very fond of Ranboo at all.

As Tubbo gets back to Ranboo, Ranboo couldn't stop thinking of Tubbo calling him his friend. "Hey Tubbo?" Ranboo said looking up at Tommy, then he looked at Tubbo. "Yes?" Tubbo says and goes to Ranboo with the bandages.

"You called me your- uh- f-f-fr-friend?"

"Yeah, because you are my friend!" Tubbo said happily and then he took Ranboos hand. Ranboo was a bit surprised, how could Tubbo call Ranboo his friend? They had just met. As Ranboo zoned out, Tubbo tried to cover the scars with the bandages.

"Done! Do you have anymore burns or scars?"

"Um, yeah."

Ranboo uncovered his arms and showed all his scars. Tubbo gasped from the sight. His arm was just covered with scars and burns. He could only imagine what had happened. Tubbo looked at Tommy who was too, surprised by the sight. "What the fuck." Tommy said under his breath as he stared at the scars.

Tubbo quickly grabbed Ranboo's arms and examined them, after that he stated bandaging them up. Ranboo was a bit embarrassed to show his scars, he was the one who gave them to himself anyway. Tubbo wondered how Ranboo got his scars and burns, but he didn't want to ask. As Tubbo finished wrapping Ranboos arms in bandages, Tommy couldn't really help but feel a bit bad for Ranboo.

"Hey Ranboob!" Tommy said laughing a bit at the name. Ranboo didn't seem very fond of the name but laughed a bit anyway, he wanted to try to be friends with Tommy just to make Tubbo happy. Tubbo was his friend after all, even if they just met.

"Yes?" Ranboo said looking at Tommy, Tommy was still a bit frightened of him but he didn't look as frightened as before. "Wanna see my scars?" Tommy says with a smile as he jumps off his bed walking a bit towards Ranboo. Ranboo didn't understand what Tommy was about to do, but Tommy quickly pulled his pant sleeves up a bit which showed a bit of scars, from burn to scratches to bruises. Ranboo was surprised at the sight. How can one kid have so many scars?

"Don't worry, I just fall and have rock wars with random kids at the park" Tommy says proudly and smiles. Tubbo laughs a bit, "I have scars too!".

Tubbo then lifts up his shirt just a bit and shows a bit of bruises from him playing rough with Tommy so much. He then lifts up his pant sleeves a bit to his knees to where you can see his scrapes from falling earlier. Ranboo felt more safe. He knew that he could be safe with Tubbo. He could tell Tubbo would protect him.

They were indeed friends.
