Why Didn't You Leave Me?

<26 - I'm a what?>

<Tommy's POV>

"Why are you crying?" Ranboo asks.

"Crying!? I wasn't crying!" I immediately deny. "Big men don't cry! You need to get your fucken eyes checked!"

"Okay... if you don't wanna talk about it, then that's fine," Ranboo quietly mumbles.

"It's just-" I start after a couple seconds of silence. "I'm a huge problem and- and everyone hates me no matter where I go because I constantly fuck shit up! And I'm such an attention-seeker because if I hadn't been so dramatic I wouldn't even be in this situation in the first place and I almost got my friend killed and- and I just- I can't- I don't know-" I let it all out.

Ranboo places a hand on my back, "Hey, it's okay. You seem really cool to me."

"Yeah, I just met you, like, less than five minutes ago," I mumble into my arms.

"Well, yeah... but that's all the time I need to piece together that your a really cool person!" He smiles.

"That's stupid," I let out a muffled laugh. "Thanks, Ranboob."

"It's Ranboo," He corrects.

"Ranboo. Ranboob. Same thing."

"Whatever..." He rolls his eyes.

We talk for a little while. Well, mostly me teasing him about his name until we hear a yell echo through the maze tunnels.

"TOMMY!?"

I quickly stand up and yell back.

"TUBBO?!"

"TOMMY! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"OVER HERE!"

Running footsteps can be heard getting closer to the dead end me and Ranboo are in.

Tubbo turns around the corner and immediately lights up and runs towards me. "Tommy!!" He yells.

"Tubbo!" I race up to him, meeting him in the middle.

Tubbo headbutts me in the chest once he was close enough.

"Ow? What the fuck!" I laugh.

Tubbo pulls back and hugs me severely tight. "It's a goat thing," he says into my shirt.

I hug him back. "Wait, why are here?"

Tubbo hugs me impossibly tighter as he answers, "I thought you would be mad at me," Tubbo looks up at me, "I'm so sorry for not listening and not saying anything and letting you get in trouble and being a really bad friend!"

"Wha-? Tubbo, if anything you should be mad at me! I barely warned Dream and you could've been killed!" I tell him. "You're not a bad friend at all! I'm the bad friend!! It was all my fault, not yours!"

"What!? No! Your the best friend I've ever had! Which I guess I haven't had very many, but your still the best!" Tubbo smiles.

An odd enderman-like noise comes from behind me.

Oh right.

Ranboob is still here.

I pull away from the hug and move to Tubbo's side so he can see Ranboo, who is now standing awkwardly in front of us.
