Ranboo & Tubbo Little Nightmares AU

Part 19: The End

"Love you too, Tubs" Ranboo says with a kind smile. Tubbo huffs as he scoots away from Ranboo, he raises an eyebrow at Tubbo seeing his distant behaviour but he quickly shrugs it off. Ranboo and Tubbo relax a little longer before leaving their temporary home. Ranboo sees a large red stain on the wooden floor and Tubbo looks away walking around it "Tubbo... you know I'm not mad at you for what you did, right?-"
"Shut up... just shut up about it..."
"Tubbo-"
"I said shut up!" Tubbo yells turning to Ranboo with teary eyes "do you know how scary it was?! Seeing you wheezing as you bled out onto me?! You asked me to eat you! And the I almost did!" Tubbo yells turning away from Ranboo again "That's twice now you have offered to throw away your life for me... twice you tried to let me kill you... tell me... do you hate me so much that you'd rather die then be by my side!?" Ranboo is stunned as Tubbo glares at him "no, Tubbo. I-"
"I don't want to hurt you... so please... if I try to do that again, stop me" Tubbo says looking into Ranboo's eyes "I would never be able to life with myself if I killed you" Ranboo stays quiet as he tilts his head to the bloody floor "I'll try... on one condition. You promise me you'll try and stay alive as well, no matter what" Ranboo says Grabbing Tubbo's hand gently. Tubbo squeezes it lightly thinking about something "Ranboo?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you suicidal?" Ranboo looks down at the floor not answering his question "answer me, Ranboo"
"I'm not going to leave you, if that's what your asking..."
"It's not... but I'll take it" Tubbo says lifting Ranboo's head "look at me, big guy. I'm sorry I yelled, I was just really worried about you. I love you, I really do, so let's get out together, you, me and Tommy. No man gets left behind, ever" Tubbo says smiling up at him making Ranboo give a weak smile back "Yeah... sounds like a plan" Ranboo says hugging Tubbo softly.

The two boys walk ahead, hand it hand, until they reach a box. Ranboo boots Tubbo up and Tubbo pulls Ranboo up. They climb through a window to a dark hall, Tubbo lights his lighter again creating that familiar warm glow that the two boys love. They climb up a ladder to a hall, Ranboo can see the shadow of someone walking away muttering "where? Where? Hmmm" Ranboo waits for the man to walk away before they continue forward. The two see a large door with an eye on it and a table with pots on it, Tubbo grabs a lot throwing it onto a button that opens the eye door "weir- *cough cough* weird" Ranboo says covering his mouth "you ok?"
"Hm? Oh yeah, I'm fine. Just a tickle in my throat" Ranboo says clearing said throat, Tubbo nods before entering the lift. The lift climbs up to a room with a dark green carpet and dark green wallpaper. They creep into a hall with eye paintings and goat themed art, Tubbo sees a chair next to a dusty bookshelf. They walk up a set of stairs leading to a room with a cubored being lit by a spotlight, Ranboo can hear a man humming a tune to himself, looking around he sees the goat horned man humming beside some maniquens, Ranboo shudders seeing the maniquens. The man has his mask off and he seems to be admiring himself in a mirror. They creep up slowly, Tubbo feels his heart beat as he feels a wave of familiarity at seeing the man, as if he was an older brother. They sneak past slowly not daring to make a sound. They reach a door and Ranboo creeps in, before Tubbo enters he hears the man speak "I hear your heart, Tubbo~" Tubbo freezes feeling his blood run cold, sweat drips down his head as he stares at Ranboo who looks back confused not hearing the man "better run~ Tommy is waiting~" the man teases as he continues looking in the mirror. Tubbo creeps into the room with Ranboo trembling *what is wrong?*
*he knows we are here*
*oh no* Ranboo signs shuffling around. Tubbo knows he needs to find a key so he climbs up onto a table pushing a pot off, it shatters against the ground and the humming stops "oh? I wonder what that was?~" the man says as Tubbo and Ranboo dive under the bed with the key. 5he man wanders in slowly looking around "where did... ready or not, here I come~" the man says as he leaves.

Ranboo and Tubbo stay under the bed for a bit longer until they believe it's safer to move. They sneak to the room seeing the mirror is smashed. They creep past the maniquens. They run down the stairs to the licked room while wondering where he disappeared to. Opening the door reveals a dark room with lots of maniquens, Ranboo hears a sound making him yell as Tubbo flips his lighter on, Ranboo's breathing becomes quick and uneven as he shrinks to the floor "nononononono not again- I can't do this again- not the maniquens please-" Ranboo mumbles as he begins to tremble, he starts to cough again making Tubbo kneel down "hey hey, it's okay. They're not moving, ok? They're not alive" Tubbo whispers making Ranboo nod. They quickly run forward but they both see something moving in the shadows "no, please no" Ranboo begs clinging onto Tubbo. Tubbo grabs Ranboo's hand running away as he sees the man running towards them. They slide through a gap in a cabinet to a small hall. Tubbo pulls Ranboo along and up some stairs, unfortunately for Ranboo they enter a big dark room with maniquens "*cough cough* *cough*" Ranboo coughs more and more but Tubbo doesn't have time to check on him. They run to a door with wooden boards and Tubbo starts pulling them off, Ranboo tries to help but his arms seem weaker then usual. They run through to a room with a red cylinder with a cone on top on a table, it also has a string attached to the end "a firework?"
"A what now?" Ranboo asks turning to Tubbo "big bang, colourful, sparkly fire show" Tubbo explains worrying Ranboo "oh o- *cough cough cough cough* Ok... ew"
"Are you alright?" Tubbo asks seeing Ranboo has gone very pale and his eyes have dark rings around them "feeling... a little sick" Ranboo says putting his hand on his stomach. Tubbo thinks for a second before realising "oh no" Tubbo says pulling Ranboo under a deck "take your shirt off"
"Uh, why"
"Ranboo!"
"Ok! Ok! Jeez..." Ranboo says slowly taking his coat and shirt off. Tubbo leans in smelling his bandages and a rancid, fowl smell fills his nostrils "oh no..." Tubbo says beginning to take the bangades off. Tubbo sees in Ranboo's wound is a yellowy greenish puss around the bite marks and in the deepest part of the wound "shit shit shit!" Tubbo says wiping sweat from his head "sorry Ranboo, this is gonna hurt" Tubbo says before squeezing Ranboo's wound, Ranboo inhales through his teeth as Tubbo squeezes some of the puss out, he wipes the gunk onto a pillow before wrapping Ranboo back up.
