Chapter Text

it was late night only street lights dimmky lit the side walks and roads. It was oddly quite. 

Tubbo and tommy were walking around the empty streets to find shops that were open. While passing an Allyway they both see a shadowy figure sitting there they both glance at each other before looking back at the figure. “Hey are you okay?” Tubbo asks walking closer to them. Though there was no verbal response tubbo did see a nod come from the shadow figure though, tommy, like the impatient person he is rushes forward to see this person.

once they stood infront the sitting boy who had turned there back on them, blood was dripping on the rock floor finally tommy broke the silence “ok dude your seriously not ok” it was in a low shakey voice tommy grabs the arm of the boy to turn him around which was quite easy they didn’t put up a fuss when tommy was about to say something but was cut off.

”so? What is a witch and werewolf doing out so late with out their coven or pack?” The boy had question their face kept a neutral look the poodle of blood spread around them. The two froze up they couldn’t really answer since it’s true so instead they backed up a bit not knowing what to do the deafing silence coved them. With the lack off respons the boy pushed them back lightly "well I'm ranboo you two are?" They ask gaining the two's attention. 

"Oh yeah I'm tubbo and thei-" tubbo was cut of by loud screaming.

"I'M TOMMYINNIT THE BIGGE-" ranboo had slapped tommy lightly to get him to shut up which worked as it practically stunned tommy “well that was weak.” Tommy says after 2 minutes.

”it wasn’t meant to hurt you just to make you stop screaming i asked for names nothing more now seriously what do you want?” Ranboo ask looking down writing the never ending stream of blood away. Tubbo sighs before letting tommy take the lead (in my opinion bad idea) as he gets potions out to heal ranboo, tommy didn’t know what to do.

”so…what happened to…you?” Tommy swore to himself for being so awkward at this moment they needed to get back home now! Their coven and pack are probably worried by now “tubbo i think we should start heading back we should also take ranboob so y’know” tommy say’s receiving a sigh from the other “your right are you able to walk with us ranboo?” Tubbo asks.

”yeah now why did you say ranboob” Ranboo says turning his attention to tommy as they started to walk only to receive a laugh from the blonde.

(****)

as soon as they made it through the door they were surrounded by people ranboo was just out off sight. “Tommy tubbo were the absolute fuck were you!?” A duck says which was quickly gollowed by a language. “You see erm we came across a peson in desperate need of help.” Tubbo says nervously rising suspicion from those surrounding tension was starting to build up fast but was broken as just as fast.

”really where are they?” Another voice sounded out with that ranboo stepped behind tommy and tubbo trying their best for the blood to stop flowing out it was surprising he hasn’t passed oout or away from blood loss “oh fuuuuck!” A person who happened to be a werewolf, pulled them away from the crowed into what ranboo would think as a kitchen another person a vampire they had crow like wings or dark angle wings call them what you want, though the person did hold some type of med kit.

after abit they couldn’t seem to find the cut so ranboo took the lead and did a pretty okay job after everyone calmed down they all went to their room to sleep only leave ranboo amd this vampire crow dude up. “Ok kid I’m phil erm are you ok with sleeping on the sofa?” Phil had asks ranboo would’ve said yes but only nodded phil turned away walking up the stairs.

ranboo sat on the sofa bored they didn’t know what to do as this was a completely new place with complete strangers with different species, werewolves, sirens, vampires, witchs and demons this was going to be a chaotic stay won’t it? Or he could run off. Ranboo got up from their spot, they never found it easy to sleep, walking around.

Ranboo had been endlessly walking around the sofa they could tell that it was now morning by the blinding light seeping through the curtains why the fuck were the curtains so thin anyway? Ranboo could hear other movement in the house as the others wake up the first one up out their room was a tall vampire with a creeper hoodie on ranboo stared at the man who hadn’t acknowledged him until he fell ranboo didn’t however seem to care he was on the last step anyway. “Are you alright” ranboo hums out in quite voice making his way over to the man who had jolted up.

”oh yeah i am” he says but before either could say anymore more footsteps filled the halls so the man moved out the way ranboo standing by the side the next were two girls. Sirens to add. One with blonde hair pink tips another with ginger hair the two made it down safely wooh nice knowing not everyone is soo tired they’ll fall on the last step of the stairs. “Oh yeah I’m sam you are?” Turning around ranboo saw the same man who just fell mere seconds ago “ranboo”

once almost everyone was downstairs food was cooking there was alot of chatting ensued most tried to speak to ranboo which started okay but was shut down quite quickly and no ranboo has yet to move from the stairs suddenly screaming and running tubbo the first running down the stairs tommy next who was screaming threw himself down “oww FUCK YOU TUBBO THAT WAS YOUR FAULT” tommy shouts, everyone’s attention moved to the two tubbo had an offended face tommy screaming so ranboo did the only thing acceptable to shut the gremling of a vampire up! Ranboo quickly picked up the vampire throwing him in the direction of the sofa luckily for tommy landed on it “there now shut up” ranboo says going back to his spot by the stairs ignoring the gasp of either offence or shock maybe both.

”excuse me! How dare you this is my hou-“ cutting tommy off ranboo says something under his breath. “If you have something to say, say it to my face” tommy screams.

”well you look to be around seventeen so you can’t actually own this property until i think eighteen correct me if I’m wrong, two don’t you just get offended at everything would you like me to talk to in a voice like I’m talking to a baby?” Ranboo says or practically asks before turning to face tubbo who was now in the kitchen stealing laughing like a maniac watching whatever banter this is. “What you think your older!?” Tommy shouts ranboo lets a giggle out. “No, I mean I am thirteen, so of course not” ranboo says walking around tommy.

“Anyways breakfast is done erm I didn’t know what you liked ranboo so just take what you like” sam says placing plates off food down really ranboo could care less what he ate as long as it didn’t kill or hurt him and he wasn’t starving then he would eat it. Walking over grabbing a plate collecting some food he still wondered why sirens, vampires, demons and witches all lived in one massive house together? But no questions were asked about it yet as the chaos carried on arguments and…chair throwing? Wtf.

ranboo was leaned up against the wall watching intensely “RANBOOB tell this bitch right here that endermen are fae’s!” Tommy screams pointing to some siren brunette who had a guitar “no they aren’t tommy! Stop bringing others into this” they say though ranboo can see were tommy is coming from he was indeed wrong.

”though i can see were your coming from they aren’t fae’s” ranboo says “see!” The siren brunette says “i would he know?” Tommy shouts back gosh did tommy even go to school? No offence just he really is dense at the moment maybe because it’s what 8:12 am “tommy endermen have yet to be confirmed to be a fae but i know they aren’t so deal with it gremling” ranboo says laughing at the disappointment in tommys eyes ranboo would loved to call tommy a child to say but then ranboo is younger by 4-5 years.

“Also my name is ranboo not ranboob for reasons like 1. It’s my fudging name and 2. I don’t have boobs” ranboo hums tommy only snickers, ranboo swears some of these people act more childish then him.

Once the morning was over or well breakfast atleast, niki checks ranboo’s injury, while the rest sort something out cause to them ranboo would be staying for awhile and they did come up with a plan to adopt them but that’s for later news and who would be the most suitable for the role.

[niki’s pov]

Ranboo sat across from me messing with bandages that needed to be changed what even happened to him? I was worried but the kid seemed to be functioning alright except for the facts that they; show little to no emotion, is bleed from an unseeable wound and looks plus acts like they don’t give to shits about themselves which was concerning at minimum, absolute alerting at medium. I felt someone (ranboo) shake me from my train of thoughts ranboo had re-bandaged himself up “oh.” I let’s out tears had pricked my eyes I was supposed to help him bandaged the wound up check everything’s fine I really also couldn’t stand the site of the people close to me being hurt. Shit the kids been here one night and I’m already attached. I didn’t want to cry in front off ranboo but i did the tears slowly trailed down my face the kid didn’t look the slightest bit alarmed but he sat next to me offering a hug which I graciously accepted.

I run my fingers through his hair I started to feel better after a moment or two I sat up taking a few deep breaths before turning to ranboo. “Ranboo?” I say grabbing his attention he had been fidgeting with their sleeves before looking at me. “Yeah whats up?” Ranboo whispers i take in a deep breath I wanted to do something that’ll hopefully benefit us both by going shopping “so I was think that some of us could go shopping” I suggest waiting for an answer. Ranboo nodded now i need to find who else will go.

[…]

niki went around asking a small amount of people if they would go shopping with her and ranboo, while ranboo was preparing themselves changing into blue shorts grey shirt and a block hoodie with socks and their trainers they were borrowing this stuff from both tommy and purpled or more like purpled shoved the hoodie in his hands but didn’t matter as the hoodie was like a cropped hoodie to him grabbing some pens and paper for communication later.

It was simple the group consisted of sam, niki (of course), wilbur, ranboo (again obviously) the rest didn’t go even though it was only three others ranboo was grateful it wasn’t much of a big group. “Ranboo are you excited!?” Wilbur goes off rambling about what they could do and buy as if ranboo has never been shopping…weird but relaxing. “Wilbur shut up you going to make his ears fall off” sam says nudging him soon the had arrived at the shops and how the feeling of panic came next but they simply ignored it he was to used to this feeling. After awhile the four were done shopping no one brought up the fact that Ranboo hadn’t spoken the entire time they were there not like ranboo was able to.

As soon as they got home they all went separated, sam going to his pack, wilbur and niki to their other member of their pod though they were actually sirens not mermaids, it’s weird as wilbur is a male and thats kinda unheard of but not like male sirens don’t exist they are just more secretive in were they are and stuff. But ranboo just traveled to familiarise themselves to the area they would *most likely* be spending longer then a month at.

”hiaaa ranboob, Phil told me to tell you that they’ve got a room sorted for you” tommy says pushing ranboo to it entering the room seeing everything they brought was just out neatly made them nauseous. Tommy had already wandered off leaving ranboo in the furthest corners isolated from the other rooms thankfully but the nauseous feeling didn’t stop he grips onto the door frame before walking in closing the door behind them on the outside it seemed to be “fine” like not any emotion could be identified which was true as ranboo found it very difficult to express, identifying or experiencing emotions but when he did with ease as well, it was either the best or worst thing to happen.

soon a knock bring ranboo out of whatever state he was in walking back over to the bedroom door opening it. Kristin stood there smiling sweetly at him. “Are you alright?” The vampire asks, ranboo only responds by nodding not bothering to talk turning around to walk to this bed “if your sure, I’m i allowed in?” Kristin asks again again the boy nodded so she entered closing the door behind herself making her way to sit next to ranboo on the bed no one talk much after that until Kristin suggested watching a movie.

half way through kristin pulls ranboo close into a cuddle, ahhh shit! Ranboo has fallen into her trap. What a good not mother-son mother-son moment

It was early morning like early morning 2:34 am to be exact that’s when ranboo woke up went downstairs to cook himself breakfast as no one else was up while humming to themselves until a bashing type sound caught the kitchen boy’s attention turning their head to spot tommy on the…floor? Wtf it’s 2:42 am why. “Hiaaaa boob man” tommy mumbles failing oh so miserably at getting up so ranboo helps by dragging him to the counter sitting him on a chair before going back to cooking “erm I’m h’gry” tommy says quietly probably another way to ask for ranboo to make him something. 

as ranboo was done cooking pulling two plates out dividing the food out equally “there’s your food till idk.” Ranboo says watching tommy devour the food as if it’ll be his last. Ranboo munched away at his tommy here and then made small talk like…now

“So ranboob w-“ ranboo cuts tommy off “why, why do you keep calling me ranboob it’s just ranboo” ranboo asks or maybe? Tommy pretends to think for a moment before looking him up and down “well y’know cause i can.” Tommy says giggling “anyways I’ve got a question if i ever so may ask? Why do you not show emotion like barely in anyway or idk” tommy goes off.

”i have Alexithymia it’s were the person with it has difficulty expressing, identifying and sometimes experiencing emotions” ranboo says grabbing the two dirty plates the dishes have started to pile up by the sink though so dragging tommy with him they started washing in peaceful silence. Shocking. Truly shocking. Though ranboos occasional humming broke the silence in a good way though.

After they were done with the dishes it was now tommy’s turn to drag Ranbooo onto the sofa for a more open chat. “So ranboo…b do you go to school?” Tommy asks the teen he was sat next too. It was a wierd subject really to talk about “no, not at all” ranboo hums out it kinda shocked tommy a 13 year old has never been to school “well…erm what creature are you?” Tommy asks Ranboo hasn’t replied to that it was only a shrug “are you human” 

“no”

”oh but you don’t know what you are”

”yeah”

the two went back into silence but it didn’t last long not when tommy was around “can you hum that tune again?” Tommy asks ranboo who was staring off 

“sure” ranboo wasn’t used to humming or singing around people but that really didn’t matter.

as early morning (*cough* 5:43 *cough*) wilbur niki and sally come running down the stairs “ranboo have you seem tommy he isn’t in his room and we-“ niki starts but looks at the humming boy next to the blondie wilbur almost verbally and loudly gasped at the sight sally was laughing. “How!? How have you kept that demon of a werewolf quite for who knows how long we thought he was lost!” Niki says slightly confused and perhaps impressive at most.

”GUYS HAVE YOU FO-“ karl comes running down the stairs stopping in hist track “oh good, wait what the f-ck” karl says “bitch you act like a run of on a daily” tommy says rolling his eyes “anyways I’ve been around ranboo for awhile now so ermm” he continues.

the rest were “fine” after that soon everyone woke up tubbo joining tommy’s side the question was who washed the dishes? Who cares now they didn’t have to and more dishes to use. Bad had offered some food tubbo graciously took “some” tommy and Ranboo declined the offer.

”tommy you always take atleast one” tubbo says laughing “ik but I’ve had breakfast alreadyyyyy” tommy says almost in a complaining way but jokingly too “oh really?” Bad asks “oh yeah ranboo cooked me breakfast” tommy says “then i made him wash the dishes with me” ranboo adds sitting up.

”no fucking way we can’t make him do any fucking chores, you, YOU! Made him do the dishes?” Wilbur buts in “language” bad says “yeah he just dragged me there so”  

thats how the conversation started with ranboo and tommy dragging each other around
