Hybrid Of The End

~Chapter Seven~

"I say listen to the voice" Tommy outstretched his arms, hitting them against Tubbo who was laying ontop of the pile of play-mats. "Seems to be doing you well so far,"

Ranboo made a sound of agreement, looking at the two on the mats. "Maybe"

"How long ya heard it for?" Ranboo shugged at Tubbo's questions.

"For ages, just now we can hold a conversation" The two nodded at Ranboo. "Sorta,"

"Yeah, I'd say trust it!" Tommy smiled and gave a thumbs up at Ranboo. "Wouldn't hurt and it sounds similar to what my brother's have gone through"

Tubbo looked at Tommy, "whatcha mean boss man?"

"Wait have I never told you?" Both Tubbo and Ranboo shook their head at the blonde, making him mutter a small 'damn' under his breath. "Well, I don't remember all of the details, but I do know that when I was younger my brothers use to hear voices all the time: not sure if they still do though," He shrugged.

Ranboo sat himself up straight at listen to Tommy's family rant, where as Tubbo just laid himself on his back and looked between the two of them.

"I know Blade had them really bad, like in the sense there was loads of them and they where fucking loud ass, they cared and looked out for him wholeheartedly Though so I can't complain there, Though they did obsesses over blood and stabbing-" Tommy gave a small pause for thought, a small bit of confusion on his mind.

"Wilbur I'm not so sure off - I know he had them but I think he found a way to calm them. They never where mean or tricked him, just very distracting. I remember when Will first got his, Dad told us that they where just beings from other worlds that needed help or wanted to guide you, calmed them both down easily but I'm not sure if it's fully true"

Ranboo nodded, understanding a little bit better of the singular voice that spoke in his head.

"Have you ever had voices boss man?" Tommy shook his head, "how come?" He shrugged once more.

"Both my brother's had them near the age time, but their twins so thats expected, Dunno why you only have one though, or why the bastard showed up now"

"I think like it's you said Tom's, they tryna help you out Boo," Tubbo nodded from his upsidedown spot. "Though, you never really said how you hear it"

"Oh, well..." Ranboo puzzled himself, "Well it's when I fall asleep, I wake up, but don't actually wake up, I go to this other place: beautiful, but a lot different to whats in here," Ranboo nodded to reassure himself even if his description wasn't exactly the easiest to follow. "It speaks to me when I need to wake up, it can say my name, and before it's spoken things like 'wake up' and something like 'my Elov Dead' I think that's what it's said anyway?"

"My Elov Dead?" Ranboo shugged at Tommy, unsure himself of what or why it had said such thing.

"Sounds creepy," Tubbo shivered forcefully, getting a nod out of both the boys.

"Second that, like what the fuck does that mean?" Tommy shook his head slightly, looking over to Henry and the two twins speaking to each other.

"Maybe it's your real name?" Tubbo laughed, yet ranboo shook his head with a smile. "Some creepy weepy shit!"

"Probably not," Ranboo shook his head. "Maybe it's something to do with a language barrier?"

"Wasn't it said you could understand any language?" Ranboo nodded at Tommy.

"Wait that's so cool, does your mind translate it or is it like you just, know?" Tubbo piped up, marveling at Ranboo who just shrugged back at him.

"Everything seems to be the same when I hear it, besides the my Elov Dead though, I'm not really sure"

Tubbo nodded, "still cool though!"

"Ugh, I'm going go check on that henry kid, looks like the twins are bullying him" He pointed to where the short boy stood, surrounded by freg and Jeorge who stared at him and walked around him.
Tommy got up from his seat on the mats, stretching out his arms and wabling his legs slightly on the side.
"I'll be right back"

Ranboo nodded as Tommy walked over to the slight strangers.

"Hey Ranboo?" Tubbo asked, looking at the boy. "What do you think the outsides like?"

Ranboo was slightly shocked by the question, causing him to pause for a thought.

"Nevermind, you don't have to answer if you don't want too" Ranboo shook his head at Tubbo, raising his hands defensively.

"No no, that's not it, I was thinking" Ranboo put his hands down, looking at his bean shaped shoes. "I think it's pretty, or it seems to be from what I know"

"Do you think it's colourful?"

Ranboo nodded, smiling at the floor. "Have you never heard of it?" The slight hesitate noise of no made ranboo shiver slightly, a world where all you know are cobble walls and lab tests every week or so, that must be a nightmare to live in.

"Well, the sky's blue, and has things like the white cotton from the canteen just in the sky, and you can't touch it" Tubbo moved himself closer to Ranboo as he told about the world outside. "And the floors got this thing called grass, it's like Mr John's beard but green?"

Mr John was one of the lab testers who had what only could be guessed to be a beard on his face, it was long like multiple blades of grass but greying and full of greece.

"That sounds amazing,"

"You know how they told you about flowers and stuff?" Tubbo nodded. "Well that grows on grass"

Now you see, tubbo already knew all the stuff that Ranboo was telling him, but the smile that was on Ranboo's face as they told all about the small creatures and the patterns of snowflakes was enough for him to not mind at all.
  Tubbo had started to zone out as he watched ranboo explain his hyperfocuse, watch as he made small hands stims and slightly happy shakes with his head and fingers, watch as he smiled brighter after each question of interest that Tubbo made towards the topic of life outside the facility.

  Maybe this was the moment where tubbo made up his mind to help and stay by Ranboo forever, or maybe this was the moment Ranboo's new hyperfocuse was on a who not a what.
