Always Forever

Rain poured down in a torrential cascade, drenching the coastal town where Tubbo and Ranboo had once shared their dreams. The crashing waves seemed to mimic the turmoil in their hearts, a reflection of the emotions they had long buried. Years had passed since their paths diverged, yet the echoes of their love refused to fade, much like the haunting lyrics of "Always Forever" by The Cults that softly emanated from a distant radio.

Tubbo stood on the cliff's edge, his hair matted by the wind and rain. His gaze was fixated on the distant horizon, as if seeking solace in the gray expanse. The plaintive melody of the song played like a sad lullaby, the lyrics resonating with the ache in his chest.

From behind, the soft sound of footsteps approached, tentative yet determined. Ranboo emerged from the mist, his presence a stark contrast against the bleak backdrop. His hand trembled as he reached out, his fingers grazing Tubbo's arm. "Tubbo," he breathed, his voice heavy with remorse.

Tubbo turned, his eyes a maelstrom of emotions—anger, longing, and sorrow. "Ranboo, you left without a word. Without saying goodbye. How could you?"

Ranboo's shoulders slumped, the weight of his past decisions evident in his weary expression. "Tubbo, I thought it was the only way. I thought I was protecting you."

Tears welled in Tubbo's eyes, his voice breaking as he spoke. "Protecting me? You tore us apart, Ranboo. You shattered everything and left me drowning in pain."

Ranboo took a step closer, his gaze a mix of earnestness and desperation. "Tubbo, please believe me. I never wanted to hurt you. I loved you too much to watch you suffer."

Tubbo's anger clashed with his love, creating a tempest of conflicting emotions. "Love isn't supposed to be like this, Ranboo. It's not supposed to leave you broken and lost."

Ranboo's voice cracked as he implored, "I know, Tubbo. I've carried the weight of my choices every single day since then. I've regretted it with every breath. Can you ever forgive me?"

Tubbo met Ranboo's gaze, torn between the memories of their shared laughter and the pain of his abandonment. The haunting chorus of the song reverberated in his mind, a poignant reminder of the promises they had once made.

"Always forever, always forever," the lyrics whispered on the wind, a testament to their fractured bond.

Tears streamed down Tubbo's cheeks as he took a tentative step forward, his heart heavy with the enormity of his decision. "Ranboo, I still love you. But the pain... it's overwhelming."

Ranboo's expression crumpled with sorrow as he reached out, his fingers brushing Tubbo's trembling hand. "Tubbo, I'll spend eternity trying to make things right. I'll bear your pain as my own."

Tubbo shook his head, a sad smile touching his lips. "Perhaps one day, we can find a way to heal. But for now, Ranboo, I need to find my own path, my own strength."

As the final notes of the song faded into the storm, Ranboo watched in silence as Tubbo turned away, embarking on an uncertain journey. The echoes of their love lingered in the air, a poignant reminder of what once was and what might have been.

In a moment of raw emotion, Tubbo hesitated, his heartache evident in his eyes. He reached out, cupping Ranboo's face in his hands, and pulled him into a heart-wrenching kiss—a sad and bittersweet farewell, a desperate attempt to capture the love they had lost.

And so, beneath the relentless skies, two souls remained intertwined, forever marked by the echoes of a love that was both beautiful and anguished, a melody that would resonate in their hearts, always and forever. With one final, sorrowful look, they pulled away from each other, tears mingling with the rain, and walked their separate paths, their hearts forever linked by a love that defied time and distance.
