Tubbo let out a shaky breath as he saw Ranboo's grave sitting before him. It's been months since they've been gone and it hasn't gotten easier to visit. It still hurt. Too many regrets would play in his head when he did visit.

He quickly shook his head. He can deal with the thoughts later. He sat in front of the grave and started giving it the weekly update. Acting like Ranboo was still alive. Acting like there was some chance that maybe, just maybe, Ranboo could hear.

Deep down he knew they couldn't. It was still nice to pretend though.

That's all he ever did now. Pretend. Pretend that Ghostboo was Ranboo for Michael's sake. Pretend that Ghostboo and him were on good terms. Pretend that he didn't miss Ranboo as much as he did. Pretend like working with Eyrn on a project far from spawn wasn't a distraction.

It was easier than accepting that his husband was truly gone. He joked about going through all 5 stages of grief, but.. it was all out of denial. He thought, maybe if he showed everyone he could go through all the stages, he would be fine. He would be okay.

He couldn't be more wrong.

He sighed and gave the tomb a small kiss before leaving a bouquet of flowers. He was sure Ghostboo would come by later and pick them up since he usually saw them carrying the flowers he leaves.

"Tubbo?" They heard Ghostboo said. Ah. Just in time. He sighed and sniffled "I'm not in the mood, Ghostboo. Go away." Tubbo huffed, turning around. He really wasn't. He missed his husband. He missed him so much.

"Who's Ghostboo?" The figure before him said, smiling. Tubbo moved the hair from his eyes as they grew wide. "RANBOO!" Tubbo shouted happily, running into their arms. He hugged them tightly and started sobbing.

Ranboo sighed happily, petting Tubbo's back "Hey, bee.." Tubbo looked up at them, tears never stopping. He hasn't cried in months.. and so now it's all coming out and Ranboo was okay with that.

Ranboo leaned down and kissed his nose gently "I'm sorry I left, my honeybee... I know I made you sad.." Tubbo choked out "Q-Quit apologizing you tall bitch.. I.. It wasn't your f-fault.." Ranboo hummed softly "I know, but I feel I must. I've been gone for so long..."

Tubbo wiped his tears "Only 4 months.. Not too long.." Ranboo sighed "Ah.. but I haven't seen your face for 14 years..." Tubbo's eyes grew wide "1..14 years..?!" Ranboo nodded "Yes.. I'm sorry."

Tubbo mumbled "I'm gonna punch you in the dick if you apologize again, boss man" Ranboo slightly chuckle "Sorry bee.." Tubbo raised an eyebrow and Ranboo raised both their hands, fighting the urge to say sorry.

Tubbo shook his head "Who else have you seen..?" Ranboo mumbled "Oh! Uhm.. Techno.. and Dream. Phil was also there.." Tubbo tilted his head "There where..?"

Ranboo sighed "I.. Dream... He revived me. It's why I'm here. He revived me over where Phil and Techno's house.." Tubbo stared up at them "Why didn't anyone tell me..?" Ranboo sighed and narrowed their eyes "I.. asked where you were, but.. Phil said you were home. He said.. He said to not bother looking for you since you most likely wouldn't want to see me.."

Tubbo blinked "What..?" Ranboo nodded small "Yeah.. Uhm.. Yeah." Tubbo narrowed his eyes "When did you first get revived?" Ranboo sighed "2 days ago..? I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to see you and talk to you and tell you I'm finally back.."

Tubbo muttered "Why..?" Ranboo whispered, their voice breaking "Because I was scared. Scared that Phil was going to be right and you would push me away because I broke my promise to you. I promised that I.. I would be there for you, but I broke that promise and now... You.. You hated a ghost version of me.."

Tubbo held their face gently "Hey.. I didn't hate Ghostboo because you broke your promise.. I hated Ghostboo because.. Well. I lost you. And there had been this figure who was roaming around, claiming they had been you and I just.. I didn't want to hear it anymore."

Ranboo leaned heavily into his touch "Technically they were me.." Tubbo's eyes grew a bit wide "What do you mean..?" Ranboo breathed in shakily and explained "I.. had been split into two parts. My mind and my soul. My mind was the.. the ghost you saw roaming around and my soul.. well. My soul was in limbo... and it was so hard.."

They breathed out "I wanted so desperately to get revived, my mind started doing anything and everything to try and get revived. Telling people I was happier dead. Going on about how.. annoying I was..."

Tubbo's brows furrowed "That.. That was your attempt at getting revived..?" Ranboo looked away "I know.. It was a dumb way. I even tried telling people I'll fade away if i sing and dance. Anything to draw attention and make them inspired to revive me.."

Tubbo nodded "Yeah. It was dumb, boss man." Ranboo sighed "I'm sorry.." Tubbo shook his head "It's fine. No... need to apologize." Ranboo hugged themself as they let out a small "Okay.."

Tubbo glanced to the ground before looking back up at them "Have... you visited Michael yet..?" Ranboo quietly shook their head and Tubbo grabbed their hand "Let's go then!" He smiled a bit as he led them away.
