Ranboo's pov*

I was on the couch on my phone and tubbo was upstairs still asleep. I got a message on my phone from an unknown number. I checked it in case it was an old friend from high school.

Unknown: Hey Ranboo do you remember my number?

                                                                            Me: that's kinda ominous but who is this?

Unknown: it's me tubbo's ex. Aaron

                                                                            Me: Aaron why the hell are you texting me you haven't bothered us in a year.

Aaron: oh so you guys are still dating but calm down I've changed I found a therapist and I found help.

                                                                            Me:  cut the shit and get down to the point. What do you want?

Aaron: I just wanted to see what you guys were up to and to see if you wanted to meet up. If you would like to. I'll keep my distance. 

                                                                             Me: no were good.

I blocked him and put my phone down thinking that everything was gonna be fine. I felt tubbo wrap his arms around my waist and  lean on me. "Hey bee. How long have you been sitting here?" I asked him and kissed his forehead. "I've been here for about 5 minutes but I guess you were really focused on your phone because you didn't hear me come in." He said as he yawned. "oh ok. I love you." "Love you too. But what were you doing?" He asked. I didn't want him to worry about Aaron so I lied. "Oh I was responding to something on Twitter." I said trying not to make it obvious that I was lying. "Oh... Ok. " he said as he hugged me again. Just then there was a ding on my phone. I picked it up and it was another text from Aaron. I looked at it but didn't text back. Tubbo grabbed my phone and looked at it I just looked down knowing I got caught. He put it down and lifted my chin and put his other hand on my face. "Hey it's ok. But why did you lie to me?" He asked my eyes started to dwell with tears. "Because I didn't want you to worry about him right now." I said as I let a tear fall down my face. He wiped it away and hugged me tight. "Hey it's ok it's ok I'm not mad I just wanted to make sure you were ok." He said calmly. It made me feel comfortable and loved. I hugged him back tightly and lightly kissed his cheek. "Thank you for not being mad at me." I said as I started to cry a little more. "Hey your ok it's ok love I'm right here if you need me ok? And please don't be afraid to tell me the truth I promise I won't be mad." It was so calm and soft I've always wondered how he could do that. "Thank you and same thing for me too." "Are you sure because I have something to get off of my chest..." He said as he let go of me and looked me dead in the eyes. "Of course. What is it?" I asked seriously. "This whole entire time I've been faking it." "What do you mean?" I asked "I mean that I've been faking my love for you it was a joke. I can't believe you actually fell for it." He laughed. "It was all a prank. How did you not notice." He said still laughing. Hearing this made my heart snap into millions of pieces. "But tubbo... I-I loved you how could you do that to me?" I said crying "oh yeah I bet you did I could tell. It was me and Aaron we came up with that joke we never broke up!" He said. "I'm a good liar Ranboo it was never true. All of the kisses, tears, cuddles, and hugs. It all meant nothing." "I never loved you." He said as he raised his hand to hit me I sat there in tears not really caring anymore I just looked into his eyes in sadness and sorrow. "You can hit me it's fine." I said preparing myself. But right before he did I woke up? I was in my bed. With tubbo curled into a ball snuggled into my chest. I carefully reached over him to grab my phone as tears fell down my face. It was 4:00 in the morning I carefully got up and went across the hall and laid down on the couch and started to cry. I know it was a dream but it felt so real. As I cried I eventually fell back asleep.
