One trip, the first and probably only time Ranboo decided to leave the house to get groceries couldn't have turned out worse.
Ranboo left around noon thinking Tubbo was awake and aware of his absence, but he couldn't have been more wrong. about an hour had passed since he left when Tubbo actually woke up, small and confused wandering around an empty house. "Dada?" Tubbo called out walking into the others bedroom only to find it empty as well, with a whine he got his phone out, opening Ranboo's contact before calling.
"Hello?" Ranboo questioned as he answered the phone.
"Dada" Tubbo sniffled, "Where you go?" He pouted.
The Americans face dropped as he realized the situation at hand, "I'm so sorry bub, dada didn't know you were feeling small and went to the store" Ranboo apologized quickly trying to finish his trip.
"Comin' back?" The little asked, frown present in his voice.
"Yes baby, dada will be home sooo soon" Ranboo promised, "why don't you go grab your blankie and sit on the couch and wait like a good boy and dada will be home ASAP" he instructed.
"Otay" he whimpered. Anxiety bubbled in his chest as he hung up the phone to follow instructions, grabbing his peach colored comfort blanket and sitting on the couch.
Minute after minute passed as Tubbo waited as instructed, blanket clutched closely to his chest, every breath becoming harder to take. It didn't take long before he was gasping for air when he finally heard the front door open.
"Bee?" Ranboo called out, setting the groceries on the counter.
"Dada" the little cried out between breaths.
Ranboo rushed into the living room, crouching in front of the younger. "Hey- hey, what's wrong little one," Ranboo questioned.
Tubbo just shook his head rapidly as he threw his arms around Ranboo's middle tightly, "it's alright baby, you're okay, just take a deep breath can you do that for me?" Ranboo asked, Tubbo nodded.
Shaky breath after shaky breath, Tubbo started to calm down enough to have his breathing under control. "What happened baby, were you so upset?" Ranboo questioned again.
"Was sc- sca'ed" Tubbo hiccuped
"Scared of what?" Ranboo inquired, brushing the hair out of Tubbo's eyes.
"You we're gone didn' know where you go" Tubbo whined
The older frowned, "I'm so so sorry bub," Ranboo apologized, pulling the little into his lap.
"Don't leave 'gain" Tubbo mumbled into his side.
"I don't plan on it baby" Ranboo said
"Wan cuddles dada" Tubbo begged making Ranboo laugh.
"Alright bee" Ranboo said, hoisting Tubbo onto his hip, "you wanna watch some cartoons too?" He asked earning an eager nod.
Ranboo quickly got them both up off the ground and onto the couch, leaning over to grab the remote.
"Can we watch Doc?" The little asked, Ranboo nodded turning on the desired cartoon.
Tubbo was quick to lay across Ranboo's lap as the cartoons played in the background, content with knowing Ranboo wasn't going anywhere, anytime soon.
