Ranboo paced impatiently outside the closed off medical tent, he felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned, Tommy's blue eyes stared into his "Just... Chill, mate..." He said in an uncharacteristically kind voice.Ranboo bit his lip "Yeah... Of course...." He said sitting down near the tent.
Tommy sat down next to him and they sat in a tense silence.
"F*ck this." Tommy said softly.
Ranboo nodded "I agree."
The minutes flew by, and suddenly the tent opened, it was Alyssa, "We..." She hesitated and Ranboo's heart plummeted,
No...
"We did everything we could, he's... He's alive but... Barely."
Tommy was up in an instant "So, will he get better?" He asked sharply "Is my brother going to live?"
She sighed "I don't know. We patched up his largest wounds but he's really weak and infection has already set in."
Ranboo was pacing again, "Can we see him?" He asked as he turned to face her.
A frown tugged at the corner of her mouth "Yeah... Yeah of course." She said stepping aside.
Tommy pushed his way inside and rushed over to Tubbo who lay on a padded spot on the floor.
Alyssa called Callahan from outside "Come on, dea- Callahan, give them some privacy."
Ranboo glanced a the blushing Callahan for a moment and then back at Tubbo.
He felt stuck in the tent entrance.
Tommy grabbed both of Tubbo's hands "Hi there Big T." Tubbo managed a smile "You're Big T, I'm Big Law." He coughed.
Ranboo slowly walked over and Tommy laughed softly, "No, we both know I was the real sheriff in that game."
Tubbo should have been miserable laying on that bed, pale and sickly, probably in immense pain too, but, his eyes shone despite the dark shadows under them, and he looked up at his bother with such happiness it made Ranboo's heart give a painful twist.
Tubbo turned his gaze onto Ranboo and he dropped Tommy's hands, "I don't bite, you know." Ranboo shook his head and walked over so he was next to Tommy, he then sat down on the ground.
"How... How are you feeling?"
Tubbo laughed again and Ranboo noticed a wince in his movements, "Well, I just got shot in the chest by an arrow, so, admittedly I think I've had better days."
Ranboo sniffled "Well... You look good."
Tommy snorted "Nah, you look like sh*t."
Tubbo shivered and Ranboo froze "Do you need another blanket?"
He shook his head "I'm, no, just... I just had a shiver."
Tubbo let out a cough and hissed a curse word under his breath "This sucks."
Tommy huffed "No f*cking sh*t, Tubbo."
Tubbo rolled his eyes "Stop being so dramatic," he paused and changed the topic "So, what's going on out there?"
Ranboo shrugged "Just a lot of confusion really. I don't envy my mom. Oh and get this- Techno, he's out of here!"
Tubbo's eyes widened "Really?"
Tommy looked over at Ranboo, "Wait, gone?? Where's he going?"
Ranboo shrugged "Said something about his debt being paid, I honestly didn't pay that much attention."
