6 Months, Paper Planes (Beeduo AU)

A Challenge

TW: Swearing. It's also a bit confusing so bare with me.

"Isn't this exciting?! We'll be finally meeting Ranboo in real life! BenchTrio will finally be complete!" Tubbo tugged on the taller's sleeve, hopping to keep up with the blonde. "Hey, why the long face?" Tommy pursed his lips to look at Tubbo as he slowed down.

He glanced away, stopping in front of the door to the cafeteria. Just behind those doors were the other members of the Dream SMP, gathered for a full meetup. "Just a little nervous, y'know?" "Pfft, THE Tommyinnit? Nervous?" Tubbo giggled, receiving a glare from the other.

He gasped as the brunette hauled him into the cafeteria, flinging open the doors which banged so loud, Tommy was sure they were going to receive the worst first impression. He squeezed his eyes shut, taking a quick breath before putting on a Tommyinnit face and looking up towards the stage.

"Hey Everyone!" Tommy chirped. Philza and Wilbur rushed to grasp him in a hug while Dream, who they were talking to, waved at him. Tommy tried hard not to show a scowl as he waved back, but he failed miserably, only to receive a chuckle from the other as the father and the son escorted the blonde towards them.

Tubbo gasped playfully as he noticed George had his arm intertwined with Dream. OoOoOh~ Dreamnotfound, I ship! Glancing around, Tubbo saw that the rest were busy talking and getting to know each other personally. But his heart sorta dropped when he didn't get to see the fluffy dirty blonde hair and the pretty grey eyes.

"Tubbo! Com'ere!" Ack! Before long, Tommy had dragged the brunette into a crowd of Dream SMP members. As soon as he let go, Tubbo stumbled, certain that he would fall face-first onto the floor and make a fool out of himself. As he waited for impact, soft silky hair brushed against his nose, tickling him.

He carefully opened an eye and was immediately grasped in a hug, "Hey Tubbo!" "Hi Niki!" Tubbo gladly returned it before Tommy pulled him away, "Yeah yeah, enough talking with girls, now c'mon," "Where?" Tubbo whined. Niki snickered, her eyes pointing to somewhere behind him.

Cautiously, Tubbo turned his head. There he was! The eyes reflecting a void covered by mist. That fluffy and soft dirty blonde mess of a hair. "Ranboo!" Squealed the brunette as, without hesitance, sprang into Ranboo's arms, surprising the taller.

"Hey Tubbo," He gently put him down as Tommy walked up. "Your prince charming~" Tommy purred into Tubbo's ear as he shook hands with the masked teen, making Tubbo's face flush. Tubbo, ignoring Tommy's comment, grasped the child's and Ranboo's wrists and dragged them out into the playground of the high school, settling under a tree.

"BenchTrio's back together!" He enthusiastically called, pulling out his phone and tossing it over to Ranboo, who frantically jumped to safely receive it. He swung his arms around the other two, causing Ranboo to laugh at the measures Tubbo went through to reach his shoulder.

"Take a pic!" Tubbo in the middle, Tommy on the left, Ranboo on the right, under a tree. Ranboo reached out with Tubbo's phone and clicked a selfie. Cheese~! Click!

Tubbo swung his legs, scrolling through Twitter, laying on his bed in the hotel room which he had booked with Tommy to stay close to the high school they were meeting up at. Tommy was on the other side of his bed across the small room. Tubbo's finger landed on the message he had tweeted with the photo they had taken this morning, under the tree.

He smiled at it. He could tell Ranboo had a smile on, even though he couldn't see it because of the taller's mask. Tubbo, himself, had a huge grin, dimples forming on his freckled cheeks. Tommy was rolling his eyes, though he had a small smile playing on his lips.

Tubbo had captioned the picture: #Benchtrio♡

"Looking at the pic?" Tubbo looked up to see Tommy wearing a smug smile, though his eyes were glued to his phone. "Yeah!"

He tossed his phone to Tubbo, who caught it without breaking a sweat, leaning into what Tommy wanted to show him on his phone. His eyes widened. There was a string of tweets on Tommy's phone begging Tubbo to confess to Ranboo that he liked the taller. He scrolled up to the tweet they were replying to. Instantly, his heart burned with anger.

He threw the phone at Tommy who caught it, guiltily looking up at his best friend with a tongue sticking out. "You tweeted the picture of Ranboo holding me?! With the caption 'Beeduo'?!" Tubbo smashed a pillow against Tommy's face.

"Hey Hey!" Tommy put up his arms in defense, "Look, I'm sorry, I didn't know it'd turn out like this! It was just a joke," "And now they think it's real! They want me to confess for real when I don't even have a crush on him!" Tubbo protested, flinging another pillow at the other.

"Well, just tweet out a tweet that they misunderstood," Tommy suggested. "Why don't you do it?" He immediately took back his words, pulling out his phone, "Never mind, you're just going to make it worse,"

"Hey," A hand pulled his phone out of his grasp as Tubbo frantically flung around to get it back from the blonde. "I don't want to miss such an opportunity to mess with you," He stuck out his tongue. Tubbo pouted, "Don't get me into more trouble than I already am, please,"

"Actually, I'll give you a challenge. You do what chat told you to do: A confession-" "WHAT?! Hell naw!" Tubbo interrupted. "Listen," Tommy continued, tossing Tubbo's phone back on the bed as he stood up, "We can tell him after chat gets the confession that it was all their request, it's not true,"

"That'll just hurt him when he finds out," "No he won't, if you explain it to him cautiously," "Mmm, what do I get out of this? What do you want out of it?" "Nothing really. I mean, you don't need to make any moves, just a small confession for chat and then explanation and then bam! The rest of the meet up smooth as butter!" Tommy cheered as he sat back down beside the brunette.

Tubbo looked down at his palm, thinking it over. He felt a hand land on his shoulder, "Chat will get what they want, we'll also get what we want. Later, we can tell chat to not ask for anymore Beeduo, this confession is the end of it,"

"What?" Tubbo looked up, "Sorry, but I am not able to keep up," Tommy rolled his eyes, "What I'm saying is," Tommy reached for his phone and went over all the Beeduo media shit in Twitter, "You see this? You don't like it, do you?" Tubbo shook his head, "We're just friends,"

"Exactly, so after the confession and the explanation, you can explain it all to chat as well and then request them to stop shipping you guys," Tommy quickly changed his tone, "unless you aren't bothered...?" Tubbo shook his head, "What if I don't take up this offer that you gave me?"

"Well, they'll just continue with shipping..." "What if I tell them I'm uncomfortable?" "Hey," Tommy leaned closer, putting both of his hands on my shoulders, "You'll eat till your stomach is full, won't you? Take Mum for example: She'll say you've eaten enough. You'll stop eating. Later you'll eat again to your heart's content. Because your stomach's not satisfied yet. Same with this Beeduo shit"

"You can give them the entire meal, aka the confession, to fill their appetite. Then they'll not eat anymore after you tell them not to," Tubbo nodded in understanding, sighing, "Alright, I take up the challenge,"

"Yes!" Tommy hopped up but Tubbo quickly grasped his arm, "Tell chat I'll do it, and delete it before Ranboo sees it," Tommy winked, "Consider it done," "Although," Tubbo looked up at Tommy with hopeful eyes, "You have only six months,"

"Why?" Tubbo's face scrunched up. "Oh, you don't know? The Americans are leaving in six months, including Ranboo. Get this over with by then," Tommy replied.
