More than Jupiter

Chapter 8

(Ranboo's POV)

"Hi Tubbo"

As he said that, Tubbo squeezed him tighter. Butterflies started entering his stomach as he melted into the hug. He couldn't believe this was happening, this was everything he dreamed of since he bought the plane tickets. It's like everything around them stopped, like it was just the two.

They hugged each other for while, forgetting the world and time around them, until they heard a small little 'ahem' from behind them.

"Oh, yea. Ranboo, this is my mum"
Tubbo said, stepping back to present a middle aged lady slightly taller than Tubbo.

"Hello" Ranboo said, with a little wave. He stood there awkwardly while the older woman analyzed him.

"So your the boy who will be living in my house for the next little while?"

"Uh, yea, that's me"

She continued to observe him until she nodded her head in approval.

He looked down, only noticed that Tubbo grabbed his hand and had interlocked fingers with his. Heat ran up to his neck and face, more butterflies entering his stomach. Did he mean to do this? That's stupid, how do you accidentally link fingers with someone? He definitely meant to, but why?

"There's a lot of people, I don't want to lose you in the crowd" Tubbo said with a smile. Ranboo tried to ignore the butterflies as he picked up a few of his bags and Tubbo grabbed the others.

"I have so much to show you! I'll show you around my house, the beach, different restaurants. Oh my god, I'm so excited!"

Ranboo watched as the smaller get so excited about showing him around. Ranboo smiled as he admired the shorter male.

"Ranboo? Ranboo."

"Oh- Hm?"

"It's time to go, c'mon"

"Oh, yea, yea, right"

"We're you even listening to me" Tubbo said, offended.

"Oh- uh, I-"

"I'm joking, let's go" he said, as he happily dragged the taller along.

Ranboo kept staring at there intertwined hands. What if people got the wrong idea? What if people thought they were a couple?

If he was entirely honest, he didn't hate the thought of people thinking they were together.

No. He can't be thinking these things about his best friend.

When Ranboo walked into the house, he noticed Lani on the couch, watching TV until glancing up then staring at Ranboo in shock.

"Oh my god" she said as she stood up and walked over to him.

"You're so tall!"

"Yep, I uh- get that a lot"

Tubbo gave Lani a look, obviously trying to get her to shut up for whatever reason.

"So, you're Ranboo?"

"Yes. Me- that's me. I am in fact, Ranboo"

Ranboo did notice that Lani why quite short compared to him. Then again, most people were.

"Okay, well if I catch you making out with my brother, you're dead"

His eyes widened and his face started to heat up. He looked over at Tubbo, who quickly grabbed some of the bags and stepped in front of the taller male.

"OKAY! Lani, it was great to have you meet Ranboo, so cool. Anyway, we're going to my room. Bye!" he said quickly, as he grabbed Ranboos hand and sped walked to his room. It seemed Tubbo never really thought about what he was doing whenever he went to hold the tallers hand, and Ranboo was okay with that.

Tubbo shut the door and exhaled, still holding the other mans hand.

"Sorry about that, my sister is annoying"

Ranboo noticed the slight pink tint growing across the smaller's cheeks, more than there is usually that is.

"It's alright"

Since Tubbo has already seen his face, he decided to take off his mask and glasses; He didn't feel like taking them off at the airport or in the car, but it was just Tubbo and him right now, so it was fine.

When he looked back at Tubbo, he caught Tubbo staring at him.

(Tubbo POV)

He hoped Ranboo would forget what Lani had just said. He did talkto Lani once about his true feelings for Ranboo, but they never went into detail about it.

He saw Ranboo take off his mask and his glasses, and set them down on a small table beside him.

When Ranboo turned and look down at him, he couldn't help but stare. This was the first time he's seen him in person. Not a picture, or some low quality discord camera, him himself.

Tubbo never noticed how beautiful his eyes were until now. He could stare into them for hours if he let him. He let his gaze trail down to his lips. They looked so soft and thin, he couldn't get himself look away.

Tubbo eventually snapped out of his gaze, only to see Ranboo also staring at the other, analyzing his face, especially his lips.

The two never stopped holding hands, and Tubbo almost let go, but didn't want to, so he continued to hold hands with the other.

He saw the realization in Ranboo's facs when he noticed he was staring. A pink hue quickly covered his cheeks and above his nose.

Normally Ranboo would probably look away and get all flustered by this sort of thing, but instead he maintained eye contact and said something he truly meant.

"You're really beautiful, do you know that?"
