Just Another Love Song About You (Beeduo)

Chapter 10 Kiss Goodnight

Tubbo woke up late...really, really late. He barely got any sleep the night prior. The thing is that he wasn't sure why. His mind was just being disorganized.

Ranboo, Ranboo, Lani, the meaning of life, Ranboo. He just couldn't seem to turn off his brain. Maybe this is what Ranboo gets sometimes? Too bad he didn't have Ranboo to hold him. He was sure it would go away then.

Another thing that came across his mind over and over. What would have happened if Ranboo's dad didn't show up? They were so close only inches apart. Would he have taken away the space? Ranboo looked like he wanted to. Although Tubbo could be remembering it wrong. Maybe picking up on something that wasn't there.

Tubbo felt like shit as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. He yawned, taking a look at his watch.

3:49pm

"Oh, fuck!" Tubbo jumped out of bed in a hurry. It was around 4:20 before Tubbo got to Ranboo's house. He got pushed back by his mom who forced him to change and eat. His body ached on the bike ride there, so he was much slower than usual.

"You're really late." Ranboo said as Tubbo went through the window with his ukulele and all. Ranboo seemed to be a bit snarky with a smirk across his face like a cocky sportsman.

"Don't look at me like that or I'll slap it off. I woke up an hour ago, don't be an arsehole."

"Whoa, okay I'm sorry." Ranboo said genuinely. "Why'd you wake up an hour ago?"

Tubbo sat down next to Ranboo on his bed. "Stayed up way too late." He said, annoyed at himself.

"Doing what?"

"Your mum." Tubbo smirked, and Ranboo just gave him a look of disapproval. "Sorry, no, I just couldn't sleep...for three nights..."

Ranboo's expression turned to a concerned one. "Why?" He asked and Tubbo stayed silent for a moment.

"I keep overthinking for some reason..."

"About what?"

"...Well you, Lani, my parents. I've been getting those really existential thoughts, like how I'm no one in this town, and how this town is very small compared to other cities in the UK. Then how the UK is small compared to other countries. Then how small countries are to continents. How small earth is to Jupiter. Then how small Jupiter is to the sun. And then how small the sun is compared to other stars in our galaxy. Then how small our galaxy is to other galaxies and how those galaxies make up bigger galaxy clusters. Those make up our universe. In the end humanity is so unimportant. I'm unimportant. But y'know that's ok. You only have one life might as well make the best of it and not hide away from it all!" Tubbo sucked in a breath, then remembered Ranboo was still here.

He looked over to see his blank expression, "Sorry, I got a little dark there." Tubbo let out a forced laugh.

"You need therapy." Ranboo blurted out. Tubbo sighed "Yeah, I know." There was a short silence until Tubbo spoke up again. "So...are you going to tell me your problems? You said you would." He was referring to his parents.

Ranboo tensed up. He was going to procrastinate. He knew what he had to tell him. It was only the matter of telling him. "Let's wait until right before you leave."

"Okay?" Tubbo gave him a side eye.

"What? I'll tell you, just right before you leave." Ranboo shrugged.

Tubbo took his ukulele off his back, moving closer to Ranboo. "Why do you want to know so bad?" Ranboo asked, leaning his cheek against his knee facing Tubbo. "I'm just curious, that's all."
