Chapter 2

Ranboo P.O.V

I sighed happily, because I had just reached the UK. My new home. Home, a mysterious word. Ever changing as time passes, and I never really found a permanent home. But this was a fresh start, so thats good enough. I pulled out my phone and checked the time. 10PM? Already? Damn, okay. 

I pulled my suitcase behind me, heading to the hotel. I would be staying there before moving in with Tubbo and his roommate. Just then, my phone started to ring. Well, speak of the devil, I thought as I picked up the phone.

"Hey Tubbo! I just landed. How are you?" I asked cheerfully. 

"Im okay, but I don't think Tommy is." He responded, obviously sounding worried.

"Who?"

"My roommate."

"Oh. What's wrong?" I asked, curious about this Tommy guy.

"He hasn't been eating much and seems tired all the time. He spends too much time editing..." His voice trailed off and I heard him knock on a door.

"Come in." I heard a quiet voice say. The voice sounded so soft and fragile, like it could crumble away any moment.

"Heya, I was wondering if you want anything to eat? Im ordering pizza and want to know if you want any." Tubbo asked on the other end.

"Nah mate, im good. Thanks though." The voice replied quietly, wavering a little.

"Cmon Toms, please. You haven't been yourself these days. Tell me whats wrong! Im here for you, y'know?" Tubbo said. Oh, thats Tommy, I thought. 

"I'm just... tired. Okay? Im gonna stay up a bit longer. Goodnight Tubs." Tommy answered with a yawn.

"Alright bossman. Goodnight." Tubbo called out as he stepped away.

"Hey, is he... okay?" I asked.

"I don't think so. He needs someone, because he's lonely. Anyways, I'll start clearing out the spare room so you can move in. I can tell you're tired." Tubbo said with a yawn.

"Well, lets meet up tomorrow at 2PM for coffee. How does that sound?"

"Alright, that's cool. Imma head out now, I'm falling asleep here. G'night Bo. Just text me when you get there." I responded as I hung up.

~.~TIMESKIP~.~

I flopped on the massive hotel bed, not bothering to change or take my shoes off. My suitcase lay on the floor, untouched. I was really exhausted after a whole day of being on a plane. I let sleep take over me like a tidal wave.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I shifted on an uncomfortable surface. What? I felt light graze my eyelids, leaving a patch of blurry light resting on my eyes. I blinked my eyes open, to a beautiful view. Orange skies and clouds floating among the appearing stars. The sun was setting along the horizon and the moon peeked out from behind a cloud, making the sky a gradient gold to purple. It was breathtaking. But something else caught my eye. A boy. He was staring at me. He had golden fluffy hair that glowed under the fading sun's touch, and rosy pink lips. He had light blush dusting his cheeks as I made eye contact with him. His eyes were more clear and pristine than any ocean, and shone a diamond blue and glittered like raindrops. I felt my heart skip a beat. Holy shit he's prettier than the sunset, I couldn't help but think to myself. I smiled at him and he softened his posture a bit and smiled back. God he's cute. 

"Hi." he said with a soft voice as he stared into my eyes.

"Hey," I replied, still smiling.

"What's your name?"

"Ma- Ranboo. You?"

"Tom! Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too!" I said. Tom giggled and my heart could have exploded. He was the cutest human on this planet.

"Wanna go explore?" Tom suggested.

"Sure!" I said and sat up. He held out his hand for me to take. I felt butterflies flutter in my stomach as I grabbed his hand and stood up. He led me towards a row of buildings.

"How old are you?" Tom asked me, still not letting go of my hand.

"I am 18." 

"Oh me too!" Tom replied with a big smile. I chuckled at his reaction. We walked hand in hand and chatted for a while until we arrived at a park.

"OH MY GOD LOOK!" Tom gasped out loud. I turned to look and I saw a massive cobblestone fountain that flowed with water that shimmered under the setting sun's reflection. A set of swings and a flower field surrounded the fountain, stretching out into a forest.

Tom dragged me to the swings. He sat down and swung his legs back and forth. 

"Push me Ranboo!" He exclaimed. I laughed at his childish behaviour and walked over to him. I gently pushed him forward, and caught him slightly as he came back to me. He laughed and I kept pushing him higher and higher. We had a fun time together, just us two in an unknown place. 

After a while of laughing and having fun on the swings, he got off the swings and grabbed my hand again. I flushed a red hue, and I noticed he did as well. He led me to the flower field, and as we got closer he let out a soft gasp. 

"Alliums, Ranboo! Look, there are so many alliums!" Tom yelled as he ran into the field, dragging me with him. I stumbled blindly after him, laughing all the way. Tom suddenly tripped over, falling to the ground. I caught him, holding him by his waist with one hand and supporting his head with my other hand. He gazed up at me. I blushed furiously at the current position we were in, but kept my eyes locked on his. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever, until he suddenly turned red and looked away with embarrassment. I laughed at this and pulled him upright. He started to laugh too. 

Soon, we were both on the ground laughing at our antics, with alliums surrounding us. The laughter subsided into yawns as we grew tired. We lay in the field staring at the stars as the last trace of sunlight disappeared. Tom turned onto his side and looked at me with a sleepy smile  plastered across his face. I smiled back and booped his nose.

"Goodnight Ranboo..." Tom said yawning once last time before snuggling into my side and drifting off to sleep. I felt blush creep up on my cheeks as I pulled him closer to me. 

"Goodnight Tom." I replied, and got no response. Tom had already passed out. I gently rubbed his side and drifted off to sleep, with Tom safe in my arms.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I woke up with a start. It was just a dream Ranboo, I thought to myself. I was honestly disappointed. I checked the time. It was 1PM. WHAT? I internally cursed at myself as I quickly showered and got changed and rushed out to meet Tubbo.
