Sweet As Honey

~The End~

      You and Tubbo avoided each other the first two days after whatever happened. You have heard Will, Tommy and Ranboo whispering constantly while looking at the two of you. The two of you have been really awkward around one another, almost as if he wants to say something to you each time but stops himself. You keep trying to tell him how you feel, like Ranboo said to, it may make whatever is going on easier. But whatever this is confuses and hurts you. He has pulled away so quickly, does the way you eat make him uncomfortable? You know you had to have done something, it happened after you said something.

      You walk out of the bedroom and it's just your luck Tubbo is also walking out. With a small sigh you speak, "Morning Tubbster."

     "Oh, um. Hello." He replies. "Did you sleep well?"

     "Yup, as always." The two of you have now had this exact conversation for the last four mornings. "Did you?"

     "Yes, I did. It was very restful." You can almost mouth along with what he is saying at this point.

     "You want to do a video with me today? Just go around Brighton, maybe look in the shops and just get outside. Just the two of us?" You break from the normal rhythm of ignoring each other's presence and see if you can get out with him. Let him know you notice how he's acting.

     "Yeah, that sounds fun, but I think Ranboo should also come. He doesn't live here either, it could be good for him." He is looking behind you and you turn to see a very confused Ranboo. His hands up in a 'why are you inviting me to this bro' way. At least you think that's what he is saying. He could really want to come but doesn't want you or Tubbo there.

     "If he wants to come it's fine with me," You say walking back into the room to get an umbrella for when you leave. "I guess." You try to say the last part as quietly as you can but Ranboo must have heard because he looks over to you.

     "You okay?" You see his left eyebrow is raised, his head slightly tilted, almost like a dog. His dirty blonde hair covering parts of his face and dangling.

     "I'm fine. Just don't know why he's being weird." You admit as you look through your backpack for your umbrella.

     "I'll figure that out for you eventually." You and Ranboo talked about him telling Tubbo about everything and while you were grateful for his help he did promise to not tell anyone so he said he owed you. You guess this is it, he'll figure out another issue with a friend. He is good at that.

     "Thanks, now get ready, we are going shopping." You smile at him quickly before scouring your backpack.

      "It's-," He taps your shoulder. "It's on the nightstand." He smiles patting your back before leaving. You just stare at the umbrella, confused as to how you didn't notice when you entered.

     The three of you go back to the café before heading to the shops. Tubbo is acting normal, he is close to you again, maybe he just didn't like being alone with you. Maybe you alone makes him uncomfortable, you get it, that happens. It doesn't make it hurt any less obviously but you want him to be comfortable and happy.

      "Hey you should try this on." Tubbo walks up to you with a very colorful sweater. "It's practical if you come back, you know winter time with us."

     Okay there goes the, 'he doesn't like having you around' argument. So what is his deal. Why pull away when the two of you are alone and not when there is someone else there.

      "Yeah, I will, it's pretty, I really like the lav- '' You are quickly interrupted.

      "Lavender. It's one of your favorite colors." He smiles, as you grab it he walks away. You quickly go to try it on while Ranboo tries on a shirt and jacket he found.
