Of Gifts And Courting (Tomboo)

hushed laughter and fond smiles

When ranboo woke up he took the time to write down everything that's happened in his memory book.
This was all important after all.
He shifted a bit til he was sat up against the bed frame. Michael made a small noise and ranboo pet his ears hoping he didn't wake him. Michael just yawned a bit and shifted closer to tommy.

Ranboo smiled and took a moment to appreciate the moment, golden light was filtering in through the windows, the chill of the outside being kept at bay by sturdy walls and cuddles. He sighed happily and begun to write.

'found tommy snuggling with Michael' he added an exclamation point
'! Not clickbait! We all cuddled it was great'

He tried to think of what else to put, making a soft noise before quickly jotting down

'u shouldnt leave Michael alone for long, he gets lonely and sad' he underlined that bullet point twice, it was important.

'you love' his face flushed and he quickly scratched out love. It's too soon to say love it's too soon to say love it's too soon to say love. He took a deep breath and glaced at the three cuddling next to him

It might be strange, feeling so much joy and warmth at seeing someone else cuddle your loved ones but it's Tommy and he just looks so perfect with them, their little families missing piece...

What was he doing? This memory book is for him, to keep track of who he is and his relationship with everyone in his life. He can't lie to himself over feeling embarrassed what if this slips away? Ranboo didn't know if he could forget trusting or loving someone but it would make sense wouldn't it? He must've had a life before he came to the dream smp, he didn't want to forget the bonds he made this time around.

He looked at his family, safe and happy and his. He didn't want to forget them.

He looked at the page then back at tommy for a moment before writing down, with new found confidence

'you love tommy, and you have for a while'

Ranboo didn't know when exactly it happened.

Maybe it was when he first met him, how tommy treated him like he'd always known him all jokes and grins as he whisked you along on a tour/pranking spree.

Was it his charm, his friendliness that drew him in?

Maybe it was when that all went wrong and he stood up for him, no hesitation and took the blame with a brave face.
Was it his selflessness? His bravery that did it?

Was it when he gave tommy that allium, despite yelling at him a bit he held it so gently..
Was it that soft side of tommy that made the click?

Ranboo didn't know, maybe it was all of it, Probably.

He sighed, looking down at the three cuddling again fondly before he begun to wonder again.

Does tubbo also like tommy? Or does he just not care that ranboo does. I mean it would make sense if they did have feelings for each other, with how close they are and all the things they've been through together.. either way a possible new addition to their relationship is something that needs to be talked about

'Tubbo doesnt seem to mind that tho, ask tubbo how he feels about tommy sometime'

There was shifting next to him and he glanced down to see tommy open his eyes. He made a soft noise and turned over, bleary eyes finding ranboos

"Why are you doing nerd shit right now ranboo it's to early.." he mumbled, voice groggy
"It's mid afternoon" ranboo informed

tommy just groaned and wiggled over til he was pressed next to ranboo and resting his head on his shoulder "what are you even writing?" He asked, voice quiet to not wake up the other two sleeping. He tried to subtly take a peak of ranboos journal, the latter snapped it closed quickly and he recognized the title and diverted his eyes suddenly tensed up
"shit- sorry didn't know it was the memory book, didn't mean to pry"
