If Tubbo sees me holding hands with Ranboo he'll know!

The jacket might confuse him, but I can always tell him I'm cold.

Worst part is he's gonna see me being picked up at the same stop as Ranboo and he's probably already been looking for me this morning.

He'll know I stayed the night.....

Shit!

I let go of Ranboo's hand. He chuckled, "Seriously?"

"Can we just go back to normal?" I asked nervous.

"How's that?" He asked confused.

The bus arrived and I didn't answer him. We got on the bus and people immediatly started whispering and pointing. Ranboo got stopped by his friend and I went all the way to the back where I found Tubbo.

I sat down beside him, "Tubs?"

"Oh hey To-...." he looked at the jacket, "Why are you wearing Ranboo's letterman jacket?" He asked.

"I was cold and he gave it to me." I lied.

"Oh, well that makes sense. He's nice like that." Tubbo gave a small smile then asked, "Why were you at the same stop as him? Did you stay the night?"

"Yeah, it got too late so I slept out on his couch. It was awful Tubbo, never again." I said trying to sound convincing.

He nodded, "Sorry about that, but did you guys at least bond?"

"Somewhat I guess." I shrugged.

He smiled, "That's good."

"Tommy! C'mere!" I heard Ranboo call for me.

I looked up to see him with his friends. Tubbo smiled, "Go on, it's okay."

"I'll be back Tubs." I smiled and then went.

Ranboo put his arm around me, "Tell them what happened Tommy."

I furrowed my eyebrows confused, "What?"

"They don't believe my explanations for why you were at my stop and why you're wearing my jacket." He said.

I pulled away and rolled my eyes, "I was cold and we were hanging out. There's not much to it."

I walked away and back over to Tubbo. I sat down and Tubbo asked, "Why must you always be so easily upset. Ranboo was being nice."

I shrugged, "Whatever."

Tubbo sighed and then Ranboo came over to us, "Hey Tubbo, how are you?"

Tubbo smiled at him, "Hey Ranboo, I'm great! How are you?"

"I'm good, now do you mind if I steal Tommy for a second?" He asked.

"Not at all." Tubbo replied.

I glared at him, "What?"

"Well.....can I talk to you?" He asked.

I got up and followed him to the very back of the bus. We sat in the corner where no one was.

"What?" I asked and crossed my arms.

He hugged my waist, "Tommy what's the matter? Your being so-"

I pulled away, "Nothings wrong. Just leave me alone."

He grabbed my hand, "Tommy, c'mon. Don't be like this, we were getting along before."

I squeezed his hand lightly, "Ranboo.....I can't be with you."

He sighed, "Tommy...I'm not saying be with me, just at least be my friend."

I began to take off the jacket, but he stopped me, "Keep it on."

I frowned, "R-"

"Keep it on." He said sounding a little demanding.

I sighed, "Fine."

He hugged me and I froze.

What do I do?

If I hug back people will get the wrong idea. And Tubbo will be suspicious of my behavior.

But if I don't hug him back, Ranboo will probably think I'm two faced.

I didn't hug him back and when we pulled away he raised a brow, "Tommy?"

"I really want to hug you, but I don't want people to make assumptions." I told him.

"What happened to 'Let them think what they want'?" He frowned.

I sighed, "You can kiss my hand as long as no one sees."

He smiled and kissed my hand. Then he asked, "Will you sit with me at lunch?"

I blushed, "What? I- I dunno...."

"Oh c'mon, please?" He pleaded.

I huffed, "I'll think about it."

He beamed, "Good, and tell Tubbo he can sit with us too."

I rolled my eyes, "I never said yes."

"Never said no either." He chuckled.

I raised an eyebrow, "You testing me?"

"No."

"Good, now leave me alone." I said trying to walk away.

He pulled me back, "I'm gonna walk you to your classes."

"Ra-"

"Say no and I'll kiss you." He smirked.

I huffed and shook my head, "Uhuh."

"What was that?" He asked.

"Ranboo stop it already. I just want to be as normal as I can at school. So please, respect what I want." I said frowning.

He sighed, "I wasn't trying to make you uncomfortable. I just like you, you know that."

I sighed, "I know. Now please let me go."

He squeezed my hand, "You don't want to sit wi-"

"Ranboo."

He frowned, "Okay."

He let my hand go and I went back to Tubbo.

"What was that bout?" Tubbo asked.

I smiled, "Ranboo invited us to sit with him in the cafeteria at lunch. You excited?"

Tubbo blushed, "Really?"

"Mhmm." I chuckled.

Ranboo walked by us and waved smiling. I rolled my eyes and Tubbo waved back.

"This is great!" Tubbo exclaimed.

I chuckled, "Mhmm, great."

I got off the bus with Tubbo and we began walking to our lockers.

As I opened my locker Ranboo leaned against the locker beside me, "Hey good lookin, need help with your things?"

I blushed, "Ranboo watch what you say."

"Don't worry, no one heard me." He winked.

I rolled my eyes, "Go offer to carry Tubbo's stuff and then come back to me."

He furrowed his brows confused, "Why?"

"Cause if you do.....uh- I'll hold your hand." I said.

He went off to Tubbo as I locked up my things. Then I walked away to my first class of the day.

Though I wish you could walk with me....its better you walk with Tubbo.

I was locking up my stuff when Ranboo approached me, "Hey Tubbo, need help with your things?"

I blushed, "If its not too much..."

He smiled, "Ofcourse not."

He took my stuff from my hands and started walking with me towards history.

"Actually, I have math." I said.

"Oh, sorry it's just that Tommy is walking that way." He chuckled, "My bad, let's get you to math."

He walked me to Math class and handed me my stuff. Then he waved, "Later Tubbo."

I blushed, "Bye Ranboo!"

He walked off and I went into class.

How sweet of him to think to carry my things and walk me to class.
