"I don't know.." Ranboo said out just as soon as he let go of Tommy's wrist, their strings that ended up unattached once again. The blond immediately turned away and scrambled off to wherever with Ranboo following in after him. "Hey, Tommy wait!" He called out to him who only sped up his pace.

No, no this can't be happening. Tommy could hear his own heart beating up fast for him to hear. He wouldn't believe what he saw and he never will. He stand by his beliefs and swore to not break that one promise he made to himself but can he hold on for long?

"Tommy!" The taller grabbed his hand once again, snapping him back to reality. He turned to the other, his face twisting into a grimace. "What?" He said out, pulling his hand back. Ranboo watched, brows furrowed as he looked down a bit, eyes darted around. "Look, I don't understand what's going on but I swear it must've been a misunderstandment- like- just- look, it can't be real right? We've just met and none of this makes sense, doesn't it?" He explained even as much the Brit hated it, he couldn't help but agree to what he said. "Your point is?"

Ranboo sighed, pointing at himself then to Tommy. "We figure things out. Forget it ever happened, act as if it never even-"

"Forget?" The shorter cut him off in silencing him before mentally face palmed. "Sorry" He apologized with a slight frown. He well, overreacted a little back there with trying to get away from, his friend, that he made not long ago. And truth to be told, even if their strings were connected somehow, it doesn't mean anything, right? They could still be friends and ignore about it, like it's bound to happen anyway. Not like they'll catch feelings, that's stupid. Tommy was so sure of his sexuality that he had no doubt of it or just chose to believe on his preference. "It's okay, Toms." Ranboo smiled behind the mask and held out his, string-free hand to him. "So we're still-"

"Friends" Tommy finished his sentence and accepted the hand he handed out. "Good to know" The other chuckled and sighed softly. "What's your first class, let me see?" He added, peering over to the paper when he gently pulled his hand back. Tommy smiled and looked back on his schedule, squinting at it. "Math."

Silence filled in. "Oh man that sucks, I have the same class as well" The brunette chuckled and patted his friend's back. "No way"

"Yessir, let's go before the back seats are full" Ranboo said out and dragged Tommy off to their class despite the protests and cusses from the Brit which he chose to ignore it.

"Oh man, it does suck" The blond said out when they got out of class, a snicker from Ranboo. "Told you so" He said out to the shorter. "What's next?"

"History"

"Chemistry for me"

"That's stupid" Tommy commented to which sent out a scoff from Ranboo. "You did not just called Chemistry stupid" He huffed earning a shit eating grin from Tommy. "I just did, loser" He stuck a tongue out to which Ranboo frown to. "Don't judge me, it's kinda fun"

"That's such a nerd thing to say"

"Well you can't judge me"

"Yes I can"

"No you can't"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"Ye- NO!" The response made the Brit laughed as he looked up to Ranboo who was probably glaring at him behind the shades and he was in fact, doing it. "It's not my fault that you admitted you're a nerd" That made Ranboo scoffed and walked ahead of the blond. "Don't talk to me anymore" He joked to which Tommy laughed at and caught up with him. "I'm sorry"

"No you're not"

"Yes I am"

"I don't believe you"

"I am sorry for calling you a nerd when you're absolutely one" The blond sighed dramatically, earning a snicker from the taller. "I seriously don't get you" He said out between his small laughter's. "Well you don't have to for the purpose of fun" Tommy responded with a grin on his face that Ranboo rolled his eyes to. "Yeah right, it's fun alright"

"It is!"

"Whatever you say, Toms"

"You're no fun, Ranboob"

"Stop calling me that!"

"Make me"

With that, another playful argument from the two until they eventually had to part ways. "Cya boob boy"

"I really hate you, Tommy"

"No you don't"

"Yes I do"

"Oh my god go to class already"

"I'm going, I'm going" Ranboo chuckled and gently shook his head, waving to his friend. "See you" he said which Tommy smiled at him. "Yeah, see you"
