Its not always unrequited... (TubboxRanboo)

Me Too

TW: Swearing

-Ranboo POV-

"I love you too." I look at Tubbo and realize he hasn't heard because he is sound asleep.

I sigh and turn towards the ceiling being careful not to catch any of the medical equipment. Almost losing Tubbo made me realize just how much I love him. He's way too valuable to lose and I need him to survive. He makes me happier than I have been in years.

The ceiling doesn't respond to my thoughts as I gaze at it. I shut my eyes but can't seem to fall asleep. I turn over so I'm facing Tubbo again and look at his peaceful face. He looks calmer than he had when he was in a coma. His eyes don't flicker and I smile as I see the tension leaving his face.

I reach out and brush the hair out of his eyes carefully before stroking his cheek carefully. being fed through a tube is showing on him. His face has become gaunter and the shadows are still there. I wonder if they will ever leave.

He definitely didn't deserve this, I wish that doctor gets fired. I hold onto his hand as he sleeps and my eyes slowly shutter shut as I look not his face.

I finally fall into a restful sleep.

I wake up to the sound of slight humming and sit up carefully. Tubbo sits beside me, humming quietly to a tune I don't recognize.

"Good morning big man." He says cheerfully. "You must not have slept for ages, you were very quiet."

I nod and yawn slightly.

I climb out of the bed and rub the sleep out of my face before turning to him.

"I'm going to go get something from the cafeteria, do you want anything?"

"Can I just have a muffin, please?"

"Yep, no problem."

I walk out of the room and return to the cafeteria. I get a cup of coffee and grimace, it's not nearly as good as the ones that Tubbo makes.

I glance around and except for a few early risers no one is around. I look around for muffins and spot them next to a pleasant-looking man who smiles at me as I approach.

"Hello!" He says happily.

"Hey," I reply.

"How are you?" He asks tilting his head slightly.

"I'm alright, what about you?"

"I'm goo- NO SKEPPY BAD!" He cuts himself off mid-answer to yell at a man around his age with spikey black hair and eyes full of mischief.

Skeppy groans and turns toward him, sitting still after trying to steal a muffin from the tray.

"Anyways," he says "you can call me bad, and this is Skeppy."

I nod at them, "nice to meet you both."

Bad grins and offers me a muffin, I thank him before grabbing a blueberry one and returning to Tubbo's room. I push the door open carefully and Tommy and Tubbo are sitting across from each other on the bed.

They are having an animated conversation about something and I knock on the door frame before entering.

"What's up?" I ask.

"RANBOOB!" Tommy turns excitedly "good to see you!"

"Tomathy" I nod my head at him and smile.

Tubbo turns back to Tommy and smiles before continuing the conversation. It's about video games, which figures.

I tilt my head at Tommy wondering how he got up here so fast before taking a seat next to the bed and handing Tubbo his muffin before drinking my coffee and reading the book I brought for Tubbo.

"Tubbo, no." I look up and see Tubbo trying to force half the muffin into Tommy's unwilling hands.

"Tommy, yes." Tubbo grins "You need some happiness in your life considering no woman will date you."

"TUBBO!" Tommy screeches loudly "how dare you, you littl-"

Tommy catches the look on my face and shuts up before he says something he will regret. I grin and glance back down at the book.

"Anyway Tubs when you get out of this hellhole we are taking you out for dinner." Tommy continues.

"Alright." Tubbo sighs.

"Where are the rest of us?" I ask Tommy.

"Am I not good enough for you?" Tommy asks indignantly.

"No your not actually."

"Phil is at work and so is Techno, Wilbur is probably with his boyfriend," Tommy says rolling his eyes.

"Alright." I say "I have to go home and take a shower so make sure Tubbo doesn't fall out of bed while I'm gone."

Tommy nods and I straighten up before leaving the room and heading into the bright sunlight. It stings my eyes for a moment before I move on and reach the apartment.

I ride the elevator up to Tubbo's apartment and enter. I go to the kitchen and get a watering can before watering the plants on the balcony. The bees seem to be returning and the blossoming flowers are no longer droopy. I smile at the bright petals and leaves that surround me and breathe in the fresh air before going to Tubbo's room and retrieving some clothes.

I take a shower quickly and put on a simple sweater and jeans when I get out. I remember Tubbo saying he was a fan of Italian food so I decide to order some and bring it to him in the hospital because the food there is shit.

I order it from a local restaurant and bring it into the hospital, avoiding some of the odder looks I get. I wave at the receptionists before going up to Tubbo's room. Upon entering I notice that Tommy is no longer there.

"Where did Tommy go?" I ask with a crease between my brows.

Turbo looks up at me from picking his nails and gives me a bright smile.

"He had to go do something, I think."

I nod and place the food on the table by his bed.

"You brought me food!" Tubbos cheers.

I smile at his excitement and he opens the bag before handing me some of it since I ordered two so he could pick.

We finish eating fairly quickly and Tubbo glance at the book.

"Hey, boo?" He asks softly.

"Hmmm?" I tilt my head.

"Could you read to me?"

I nod and pick the book up before reading from the last page we read together.
