Ranboo Pov

I quickly looked away from the brunette with blush covering his checks. I didn't mean to say it while looking at her, my gaze had just drifted to the ghost next to me while speaking. I was super embarrassed and stared at the sky in front of me, tying to calm the raging blush that had appeared on my face.

We stayed there, just gazing into the beautiful sky for who knows how long. But, as all good things come to an end, the sun eventually finished setting. We got up from the bench and started walking back when I heard a drop of rain hit the ground next to me.

We stopped dead in our tracks like a dear in a road. Suddenly, I felt a sharp burning sensation on my shoulder. I quickly grabbed the scared ghost's arm and bolted to the nearest tree. Thankfully, it's leaves were thick enough to protect us from the oncoming rain.

And we couldn't have gotten there any later.

A full downpour started the moment we got under the tree. Tiny droplets of death pounded us from above. I realized I was still clutching Haven's arm, but since she didn't move it out of my grasp I just left it there. I slumped against the tree and let out a groan.

"Oh man, this is terrible. We're gonna be stuck here forever! And you can't even get help because water hurts us both. How great."

Haven slumped down next to me. "Hey, it's not all bad," she started. "I managed to bring these with us."

I took out the allium flower crowns I had brought with me. I then gently placed one on Ranboo's head so it was behind his horns and around his gold crown. I put one on myself and looked up at the tall boy. His face was covered in purple blush and he was very flustered, which just made me giggle. I straightened his flower crown and rested my head against the tree again. After a little bit, I felt myself start to doze off, and i let myself succumb to sleep, feeling safe with this stranger i met just yesterday.

Ranboo Pov

Well, these had certainly been an eventful past few days. I was sitting underneath a tree in the rain next to a ghost girl I had met yesterday. She had been strangled by the revolution's leader and came to me for comfort. We chatted on a tree and in a flower patch, watched the sunset, and-

I felt a cold weight softly fall onto my shoulder.

No way, did she just fall asleep on me?

Where's Tubbo when you needed him?!

I felt a wave of panic wash over me but soon calmed down. Why was I getting flustered so easily?! Gosh, Ranboo, get your act together man! I mentally shook my head and audibly sighed, scolding myself for thinking some random ghost I met yesterday to be cute. There was no reason to form silly crushes when she would probably go to the afterlife soon or whatever ghosts did- I didn't really know. Al I knew is that this would be temporary and that I shouldn't let myself get used to this comfort.

Eventually, with the combination of the chilly girl asleep and the patter of the rain, I found myself able to join Haven in sleep. I drifted off with an unconscious smile on my face.

i woke up with my head on ranboo's shoulder, just as cheesy as those fanfics. my face went red and i slowly got up, careful not to disturb the sleeping enderboy. i saw that the rain had ended but i didn't want to disturb ranboo. instead, i saw that his flower crown had started wilting, and i walked over to a nearby oxide daisy patch. i started picking them and weaving them into bracelets.

some time later, sleeping beauty decided to finally wake, and before he could say anything i interrupted him.

"you were out for about twenty so minutes. the rain has stopped and niki is probably worried sick. so i'm going to hand this to you and bolt away like the badass i am." i then handed a dumbfounded ranboo his flower bracket and took of running. but of course, i forgot he was an enderman.

i didn't even get two meters before he teleported next to me and grabbed my arm. i was yanked backwards by the running and ranboo's pull, causing me to fall right on top of him as we tumbled into the grass. we both burst out laughing at my failure.

"that was the worst attempt at being badass i've ever seen!" ranboo said in between laughs.

"okay, but in my defense, you can teleport." i laughed along as well. we just laughed a bit more and i got off of him, quickly taking his hand to pull him up. ranboo accepted the gesture and as i yanked him up he wrapped his arms around me, trapping me.

"ha, i have you captured!" he said. i just smirked.

"not for long."

"wait what-"

i ducked down and tumbled in the other direction, escaping the tall man's grasp. he gasped and started running after me.

"bye mr boo!" i yelled with a wave, running out of the tiny clearing and into the rest of the forest. he tried to teleport to me, but since he was too tired from the last one, he only made it a few feet. he grunted and started chasing me.

the odds were pretty even with my energy and his long legs, but eventually, i beat him out. he sighed and collapsed on the ground. "I give up," he groaned, extending the up. i grinned and pulled him up again, this time careful to step away as soon as he was up. this earned a laugh, but i said "i was just being cautious."

we started walking back to l'manburg, but before we reached the huge walls, i turned to ranboo and pulled him into a huge hug. he froze up but eventually settled into the hug and held me close.

"hey, thanks so much for doing everything you're done for me even if we've only known each other for a couple of days. i really appreciate it, and it's nice having a friend in this strange world. you mean a lot to me, ranboo," i muttered.

"of course. i'm really glad i could help, and i love hanging out with you. i know this bond will be a strong one," he responded. i smiled and let go of the tall boy, waving and walking off towards the walls of l'manburg.

(AN: i just realized i was spelling l'manberg "l'manberg" and I'm too lazy to fix it *lip bite*)
