Falling in love (tubboxranboo)

The New Neighbor

TW: cursing

-Tubbo's POV-

I wake up, rubbing my eyes to face my alarm clock. Fuck.. I think to myself. I have school tomorrow, and have a test in science. I suddenly hear a noise outside. I stand up slowly and peer outside of my window. There's a moving truck backing into the next-door houses driveway. I wonder who's gonna live there now.. Another car pulls up, and two women get out, holding hands and pointing at the house. And then a very tall boy with dark blonde hair gets out, hesitating to shut his car door. I can't see the rest of the details of him but I do see that he is wearing a mask that's half black and half white, with sunglasses.

"MUM!" I yell to my mom, who's probably drinking coffee downstairs. "Yes Tubbo?" She says peeking into my room. "I'm gonna go see if the new neighbors need any help." I say, pulling my coat on. She nods. "Okay just please try to be back before 3:00." I nod and wave goodbye. I run down the stairs and out the front door. I'm met with a very cold blast of wind. I make my way over to the neighbors house and knock on the door. The tall boy awnsers the door. Now I thought he was tall before, but he towers over me. He isn't wearing his sunglasses anymore, and has very interesting but beautiful eyes, one green and one a red-brown color. "H-hi.. I was just wondering if you guys needed any help...?" He's about to say something when one of the two women from earlier comes up behind him. "Thank you for offering, would you like to help Mark carry in some boxes?" She asks. I nod.

The tall boy leads me to the back of the moving truck and picks up a box. I do the same and follow him into the house and set the box I'm carrying down gently. After a few rounds of this, I break the silence. "My names Toby, but you can call me Tubbo. I heard your mom I'm guessing call you Mark?" He nods, and I can't tell wether or not he's smiling under the mask. "Yea, but I prefer to be called Ranboo." He says, rubbing the back of his neck. I smile. "Okay Ranboo!"

-Ranboo's POV-

All I notice about this short boy is that his hair is brown and covers his eyes slightly. I think he's my next door neighbor. And honestly, I'm kind of glad, seeing as he's really nice. After a while of carrying in boxes, we sit on the floor of my new room and start chatting.

"Do you know what school your going to?" Tubbo asks me.
"Umm.. Northwest High I'm pretty sure." I answer. His face lights up. "Yay, we go to the same school. I wonder if we have any classes together.." he seems very excited. I let out a small laugh . He stares, and quickly looks away.

-Tubbo's POV-

I stare when he starts laughing I quickly look away when I realize he noticed. I check the time, almost 3:00. "Well I should get going Ranboo. I'll see you tomorrow at school hopefully.." I say, forcing a smile. He nods, "Bye Tubbo." I wave and walk out of the house. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. Truth is, I've been bullied all the way from 3rd grade to now. I'm a senior now, and it's only gotten progressively worse over the years. At least every day I get beat up. My parents didn't know and probably didn't care. Sometimes they're nice, but a lot of the times they're just assholes.

When I get home I'm not really hungry and am just tired. I enter my room and shut the door behind me. Flopping on my bed I unlock my phone and scroll through tik tok. Eventually my dad calls dinner, and I groan making my way downstairs. I sit at the table and take a sip of my water. My mom sets a plate with spaghetti on it. I pick at my food, and only take a few bites before excusing myself. "Remember Toby you have to get up early for school tomorrow." My mom says. I nod, trudging up the stairs. I grab a hoodie and sweatpants and change. Brushing my teeth I look at my reflection. I spit out the toothpaste and return to my room. I just lay down and try my best to fall asleep.
