More than Jupiter

Chapter 1

(Ranboo's POV)

He woke up to several buzzes from his phone beside his pillow. He tried to ignore it, but it just wouldn't stop. Eventually, he gave up and picked up his phone.

4:38am

Why would anyone be texting him this early?

3 missed calls from Tubbo:)
14 messages from Tubbo:)

He sighed and opened up his phone.

                          Tubbo:)

                         4:35 am

"Oh my god"he said under his breathe. He rubbed his face and got out of bed to grab some water. With his phone still buzzing in his pocket, he grabbed a water bottle from his fridge and went back to his room. He tried to be as quiet possible to not wake the rest of his family who were all probably asleep.

                          Tubbo:)

I'll hop on in a sec
Read 4:42am

Yay

He logged onto discord, and sure enough there was Tubbo, alone in a call, waiting for Ranboo with lots of dm's consisting of 'Hey' and 'Join vc'. He joins.

"Hey Tubbo" he said in a low, raspy voice, he always forgot how low his voice gets in the mornings.

"Ranboo! I didn't think you were actually gonna join, i almost gave up."

"Well, I didn't really have a choice"

"And you could never say no to me"

Ranboo laughed slightly at that. He wasn't wrong.

"Sure, yea, that too"

The two talked on call for a few hours, playing bedwars, some random parkour, and mostly just talking.

"So when do you think you're gonna come to the UK?"

"I'm pretty sure in 2-ish, 1 &1/2-ish months or so. Let's pray covid doesn't become bad again and cancel my flights"

"Oh my god, I would cry"

"Yea. I'm super excited though, I can't wait to meet you and use you and my very own personal arm rest"

"Don't you dare"

Just the thought gave him butterflies. In a month or so, he would be with Tubbo in person, not digitally, or in a call, actually together. Ranboo loved the thought of him being able to watch movies and the Office with Tubbo, under the same blanket, watching on the same laptop, with finger interlocked together- no. No, that's weird, why would they do that? Do normal friends cuddle and hold hands? Normal friends don't get nervous around each other, do they? Why would they, people see their friends all the time, so they shouldn't feel nervous about something as simple as talking to friends. But him and Tubbo were best friends though, so does that change anything? Surely not, it's not like-
His thoughts were interrupted by a voice through his headphones.

"Ranboo?"

"Hmm?"

"Well, do you?"

"Uh- do I what?"

"I asked if you wanted to play more bed wars"

"Oh, yea. Sorry, zoned out, yea"

"Hm, okay"

They sat in an awkward silence while they opened up Minecraft again.

"So, what were zoning out about?" Tubbo asked.

He was hoping he wouldn't ask this. What was he supposed to tell him? He couldn't just lie to his best friend. But could he tell him the truth? What if Tubbo hated him for it? He couldn't lose his best friend, especially not a month before they meet up.

"Oh. Not much, just about our meet up"

"Yea, I'm pretty excited about it"

"I am too"
