I'm Sorry (Enderwalking) || Beeduo

Chapter 3

**Ranboo's POV**
The next morning I wake up to find myself in my bed, luckily. I sigh in relief and quickly go to Michael's room to check on him. He's not there. Where is he? He couldn't have gone far. Did I... Did I do something... No I couldn't have. I run around the mansion, avoiding boxes looking for Michael and luckily I find him outside in the back garden.

"Michael, honey, you know better than to come outside without letting us know. It could have been raining, you could've gotten hurt." Michael turns to look at me. "Sorry dad, I just smelled something really good and I couldn't resist coming outside." All I smell is charcoal. Probably from the times Foolish burnt different statues down. It makes sense that Michael would be attracted to that smell, after all, he comes from a land of fire. "It's okay buddy, you just had me worried. Let's go have some breakfast." He grabs my hand and we walk to the mostly unpacked kitchen.

When we walk in I start making some scrambled eggs for everyone while Michael colours on some paper. Tubbo walks in beside me and starts doing some dishes. He whispers so that Michael doesn't hear, "are you okay? You seem off." I give him a quick smile, "I'm fine bee. Don't worry about me, okay?" He smiles at the nickname and we finish up breakfast. After eating, Michael goes to his room to get ready to go hang out at uncle Tommy's house. Tubbo gets up to go help out Jack with his weapons investigation, I don't know too much about it, but I'm sure if anything was going wrong, he'd tell me.

I give Tubbo a quick hug before he leaves and then I start taking Michael over to Tommy's house. We can't take the soul speed waterway because it's not safe for Michael so we head to the docks to take a boat. "Dad what's wrong with daddy? He seems stressed out always." I pat Michael's head. "Don't worry about it buddy. Everything's fine, work is just a little crazy right now for him.

*At Tommy's house*
**Tommy's POV**

"Hey what's up kid, how's my favourite nephew?" I say while hugging Michael. "I'm good! Dad and daddy are stressed out but I'm good!" He runs off to go find something to play with. I turn to Ranboo to see him with his fingers on his temples. "Kids say the darndest things hey?" I say to lighten up the mood, "is everything okay though?"

"Yeah everything's fine. Tubbo is dealing with some kind of investigation and I'm.... Just stressed from the move," Ranboo says. It seems like he's lying, but I decide not to press. "What time do you want me to drop him off?" I ask, changing the subject. "In 4 hours if you could. Thanks Tommy."

"No worries man see you soon." I say as Ranboo leaves. I turn to Michael, "we're hanging out for a while what do you want to do?"

"I want to make something for dad, he always comes into my room at night and gives me purple fire so I want to give him something in return."

What has Ranboo really been hiding?
