Its not always unrequited... (TubboxRanboo)

Lullabies

TW: Swearing

-Tubbo POV-

I lay in bed that night as Ranboo sleeps peacefully beside me. I cannot believe that Dylan showed up at our apartment. I don't even know how he found out where we lived. I sigh and throw my arm across the pillow, unable to sleep. I rub my eyes and close them. I wish I could sleep I'm tired but my brain is too active.

I sigh and stand up, giving up on sleep and heading towards my balcony, the cold air hits my face and I shiver slightly before climbing up the fire escape like I did the other night except I'm alone this time.

I sit down on the cold cement of the top of the building and gaze out over the city, I see the lights that flicker across the buildings. I sigh as I turn my gaze upward and stare at the twinkling lights above me. They aren't as bright tonight and that's probably because the city is brighter than it has been for a long time.

I wrap my arms around me and rethink the past few months. It really has only been a few months and I can't believe it, it seems as though it's been years with all that's happened.

The wind whips through the city making trees rustle and some of the older buildings to quake. Structures creak as the wind picks up. The wind is chasing itself through the trees and creating small whirlwinds in specific pockets of space.

I feel a tear slip from the corner of my eye, trailing down my cheek and off my chin. I furiously wipe it away and shake my head, refusing to cry. I have no right to cry, I haven't been through what Ranboo just went through again.

The wind picks up again and whips around in my hair violently. It tugs at the roots and pulls more tears from the corners of my eyes. I wipe them away again but I'm angrier at them this time. 

I scratch my neck and arms before sighing heavily and looking up at the dark overcast sky, stars hardly peeping through the thick cloud cover. I look carefully at the clouds trying to spot something through them but I can't see anything.

The fog that drapes across the world seems a lot like a fog that has entered my brain. I rub my eyes gently and yawn before stretching and heading toward the ladder that hangs from the side of the roof. I carefully chamber down the side of the building setting my feet on the balcony carefully and touching my plants gently with the tips of my fingers before heading inside.

I sit on the couch carefully and grab a book from the table. I glance at the cover before realizing that it's Ranboo's book, I shrug and flip it open anyone. I look at the page hard but the words swim slightly before my eyes whether that be because of my dyslexia or because of the lack of sleep I'm currently running on. I close the book in defeat and place it back down slightly harder.

I lean back against the couch and prop my feet up on the table. I wish I could fall asleep but my brain is too active at the current moment. I think about opening the door to Dylan and the fear I felt inside my stomach at that moment. I gazed up into his eyes with venom in my own, rage was twisted upon the surface of his face, and I faced him in defiance but I all I felt was the trembling feeling in my heart. I knew I needed to be strong for Ranboo but I wasn't sure how exactly to get rid of him. In the end, I only threatened to call the police and hurled insults in his face.

Eventually, he did leave and I returned to the living room to see Ranboo curled up on the couch, the best way to get his mind off things was to distract him so that's what I tried to do.

I hear faint footsteps moving in my direction but don't turn around. I instead sit still and stare ahead. Ranboo walks into the room and sees me before heading in my direction. I give him a small smile as he looks at me and he returns a faint one in return.

"C'mon Tubbo, I know you have to be tired." He says gently.

I shake my head but yawn as I do.

He grins at me and steps forward, gently scooping me up in his arms and delicately carrying me toward our bedroom. Usually, I freak out when someone touches me but this is different, I know Ranboo would never hurt me, and even if it does take a second for me to realize it, I feel safe with him.

He opens the door with his hip and lowers me onto the soft sheets carefully before shutting the light off and climbing onto the bed being careful not to shift his weight around too much.

I smile as he settles down but my eyes remain still. He gently tucks the blankets around my body and kisses my cheek before pulling me close to him.

I smile as he begins to him softly in my ear. It's a gentle tune that I don't recognize but it calms me despite that fact. I carefully fold my hands under my chest as he continues to softly hum, his gentle voice soon shifts to him singing gently into my hair and my body sinks further into its drowsy state. My breathing becomes slow and evens out as my eyes slide shut and I begin to druft into dreamland.

I nod off at random intervals but Ranboo's singing remains continuous and I feel his arm tighten around my waist as I finally fall into a deep slumber. I bury my face into the pillow before falling completely asleep.

Phew, that took a while shockingly enough.
Drink some water, please!
And try to touch some grass.
