Carly's POV
A Few Days Later
It's been a few days since Tom and I left Tubbo's house. In that time I've been finding myself humming American Boy by Estelle. Every time I catch myself I can't help but smile and think of Ranboo. We've been texting almost all day everyday since I left. We are trying to figure out how I'm going to go see him without my brother knowing.
Ran Man 🙃
Do you have any friends that live in Bognor?
I have one but I haven't talked to her in ages.
Does your brother know that?
I'm not sure, he probably doesn't.
Perfect, tell him that you are going to visit her and instead visit me.
That will work, I have college tomorrow but does Thursday work for you?
Yeah, I'll tell Tubbo not to tell Tommy you are coming over.
Perfect, I can't wait.
Me either.
Hey I have to stream. I'll FaceTime you after?
Fine by me.
Have a good stream.
Will you watch?
Sure, It'll keep me occupied while I do homework.
Alright I'll make it the best stream ever.
I look forward to watching ;)

I smiled and put my phone in my pocket. I was walking downstairs humming American Boy with a smile on my face. I was making myself a sandwich since I was a bit hungry. "What song do you keep humming? I swear you were humming that song on the train the other day too." He asked and I jumped. "Jesus fuck Toms you scared me." I said trying to calm my heart beat down. "Are you going to answer my question?"
He crossed his arms while looking at me. "I don't know, I heard it a while ago and I guess it stuck." I lied while finishing my sandwich. "Why don't I believe you?" He questioned and I took a bite out of my sandwich before replying. "I don't know, believe what you want Tom." I said before leaving the room with my food. I feel bad lying to him but I know what he's gonna say before he's gonna say it. The curse of having a twin.
I thought to myself before closing my door. I noticed that Ranboo is live so I pulled out my laptop and pulled up his Twitch before grabbing my book bag. I totally forgot I have a paper due next week, I should finish it now so I don't stress over it next week. I thought to myself before making a split screen so I can still watch the stream while I write my paper. I put on my glasses before I started typing away.
It took about two hours but I finally have the paper in good shape and Ranboo is wrapping up his stream. I let out a sigh as I closed my laptop. I tied my hair up into a bun. I then put on some mascara and a little lip gloss so I don't look so dead. I smiled as my phone rang and I immediately frowned seeing my brother FaceTiming me. "What do you want Tommy?" I asked glaring at my brother.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go with me, Eryen, and Freddie to the park to hang out on Thursday?" He asked. "I would love to, but I can't. I'm going to hang out with my friend Sophie." I lied and my brother raised his eyebrow. "The one that lives in Bognor?" he questioned and I nodded my head yes. "Hmm alright I'll let them know." He said and I see that Ranboo wants to FaceTime.
"Hey I have to go" I said and my brother looked confused. "Wait, are you wearing makeup?" He asked since he knew I wasn't wearing makeup earlier. "Yes, because a friend is calling me and I don't want to look like a troll. Now I'm hanging up. If you need me, you can get up and knock on my door." I said before hanging up and answering Ranboo's call. I smiled when it connected and I saw his face.
"Hey how was the stream?" I asked and he smiled. "I think it went well, what did you think?" He questioned. "You don't need me to remind you how funny you are" I said and he laughed. "How else will I know I'm funny and entertaining without constant praise?" He joked and I couldn't help but roll my eyes trying to suppress my smile. "Oh I'm sorry sir I should increase my praise by ten percent." I said, sarcasm lacing my every word.
"You are too much, how about we talk about our date coming up." He said changing the subject. I couldn't help but blush before replying. "I'm really excited, so where do you want to go?" I asked and he thought about it for a second. "I have no idea, um we could go to the beach nearby; it's very beautiful. Then maybe we could play some mini golf?" He suggested and I smiled while nodding my head yes.
"I love mini golf." I stated, which caused him to chuckle. "Alright, that's what we'll do. We'll go on Friday so that when you get here you can just rest a bit." He said and I nodded my head. "Okay I can't wait, I really enjoyed spending time with you. Even if we were only together for a day." I said and I noticed a pink blush rise on his cheeks. "I enjoyed spending time with you too. I just want you here already." He admitted.
His words melt my heart. "Awe stop you are making me blush." I said and before Ranboo could say anything Tommy burst through my door. I quickly hung up and turned off my phone. "Who were you talking to?" My brother asked, crossing his arms. "Sophie, we were planning on what we are going to do on Friday." I lied again and my brother squinted his eyes at me trying to figure out if I was lying.
"Do you like her? I mean I know you are bisexual but if you are planning to do-" I cut him off and I could feel my face burning when he said that. "No no no no, Tom we are just friends. She's not my type and she's also straight." I said and he laughed at my reaction. "Okay okay, I'm sorry. I just heard you tell her that she was making you blush so I just assumed you two were going out." He confessed and I couldn't help but laugh.
"It's fine Toms. Um can you leave so I can nap? I'm tired and I just want to sleep." I said and he nodded his head. "Mum said we could fend for ourselves tonight since her and dad are going out with the neighbors for dinner." He explained and I nodded my head. He then left my room and I quickly changed into comfy clothes. It consisted of Ranboo's oversized jumper and a pair of Tommy's shorts I stole.
I took off my glasses and set them on my desk before laying in bed. I pulled out my phone and decided to text Ranboo letting him know I'll be napping.
Ran Man 🙃
Hey I'm going to nap, so I just wanted to say goodnight.
So goodnight I'll see you Thursday.
Goodnight sleep well darling.
Text me when you wake up and I'll see you Thursday.

I blushed seeing as he called me darling before I plugged my phone in. I rolled over to my side and stared at my wall for a bit. I feel terrible that I'm lying to my twin but he was acting so weird when he thought Ranboo and I liked each other. I mean he wasn't wrong but I don't know why he has a problem with it. Him and Ranboo are really good friends.
He seems to trust him and I know he trusts me so why is he so triggered with the idea of me and Ranboo in a relationship. I have never felt this way for a person in my 17 years of living. I mean he's tall, handsome, he's a total sweetheart, and he makes me laugh so hard I snort. No one has been able to do that other than my brother. Why am I over thinking this? Tommy is just being over protective and doesn't know what he's doing.
GOD WHY DO FEELINGS HAVE TO BE SO COMPLICATED AND WHY DOES MY TWIN HATE ME SO MUCH THAT HE WON'T LET ME DATE WHO I WANT? I yelled in my head and I let out a sigh before finally letting sleep take over and I drift off into my dream land.
