RANBOO'S POV:

After speaking with Niki, I honestly can't tell if I'm more confused than I started out or not..

I know I shouldn't like Tubbo like that.
Because I know he doesn't like me back. No way.

Someone like Tubbo would never like me in that way.

I knew it was getting late, and Tubbo and I would have to go to bed soon.
So I went down to the garden where my siblings and Tubbo were before to let Tubbo know.

But when I went down, I was surprised to find that he wasn't there.

The only people that were there were Wilbur and Tommy, who were chatting.

"Hey.. Where did Tubbo and Techno go off to?"
I asked them, curiously.

Wilbur looked over with a blank expression.
"Oh, Techno went off to the town to visit the blacksmith."
He said,

Tommy butted I'm as well,
"And Tubbo said he was going up to your guys room."
He informed me.

I was a little confused, but I nodded and went up to our room.

When I was about to open the door to our bedroom, I froze in place when I heard muffled sobbing..
Once I heard that I felt my heart drop.

I quickly opened the door and I was met with a heartbreaking sight.

Tubbo was sat on the floor with his back against my bed frame, his knees hugged close to his chest and his face buried in his arms as he rocked back and forth quickly... While sobbing.

When he heard the door open, and the small crack of light that shined into the dark room from it, he gasped and jumped up clearly frightened.
When he noticed it was me he quickly stood up and wiped his face, sniffling, and putting on a very fake smile.

"Oh— H-Hey, Ranboo..!"
He said in a pretend happy voice that was hoarse from crying.

I felt sick at the sight.. I hated seeing him like this.

I slowly walked in and closed the door behind me,
"Tubbo... What's wrong.. Come here,"
I said holding my arms open,

At that moment, Tubbo completely let down his guard and bursted into heavy sobs as he ran over to me at full speed, throwing himself into my arms as he cried..

I held him close, one arm around his torso, and the other gently holding and caressing the back of his head, that was buried into my chest while he sobbed.

I gently rubbed his back and tried calming him with affirmations and calming gestures for a little while..

"Hey, it's okay... Can you look at me..?"
I said as I guided his chin up to look at me.

The sight of his crying face made my heart break even more.

He looked like a sad puppy..
