[Discontinued] Welcome to the Family - SBI + Ranboo + Tubbo (no shipping!)

Chapter Seventeen

a/n unedited :) and have some fanart of Phil :) I'm so sorry, I don't know the artist!

"Welcome to the family, Ranboo," Phil smiled at me brightly. I stretch out my wings again and allow them to flap lightly. Even with the small movement, there was a decent gust of wind. It felt so natural and odd at the same time. Almost as if I was always supposed to have them but my body only realized I needed them now.

I was broken out of my trance by the feeling of someone sitting down slowly next to me. I could easily guess who it was since I've been living in this house for a little over two weeks. I turn to face Tubbo carefully, pulling my wings in once more.

"You alright, Ranboo?" Tubbo asks out loud but places a hand on my forearm.

"Yeah, just a bit surprised I guess. I knew I was part bird but I had guessed that my endermen side overpowered it," I explained to Tubbo, him repeating what I said to the rest of them. I took this moment to use my other arm to touch my wings. They were velvety soft on the feathered parts and interestingly smooth on the "skeletal" part.

Then I suddenly feel a sinking feeling in my stomach. What exactly does this mean for me? Do I need to learn to fly? Will I have a "bird brain" too? Will I have all the same tendencies as a normal bird hybrid? Will this be more of a burden to this so far kind family? Will they still want me after this? I take up so much space already but with the addition of these huge wings... Will they take me somewhere to get me tested? What-

Tubbo sighed, I had forgotten that he could hear everything that I was thinking. "Ranboo, don't worry. I'm sure that Phil can answer a lot of those questions for you. And we want you here, we do! We would never take you somewhere to get tested. You... are... safe... here!"

"You- you do w-want me he-ere?" I rasped, trying to speak normally.

(a/n this is an awkward time for Mellohi to be playing...)

Tubbo pulls me close, his warmth a comforting feeling. "Of course we want you here! Phil adopted you after all!"

Tommy then ran into the nest and was pulled into the hug as well. It wasn't long before Phil and Wilbur followed suit. There was a bit of hesitation from Technoblade but he shortly joined in as well. I was thankful for their kind gesture. It's been a long time since I've really felt welcomed somewhere. While I still am a bit hesitant about the whole thing, I think I can learn to trust them.

a/n My Sad-ist merch came today!! I'm so freakin' pumped!
