The bell had just rang for passing period. I left my class to go look for Tommy. As I roamed through the halls I finally spotted him, so began walking over.

I went and hugged him from behind, "Hey handsome."

He blushed and pulled away, "Ranboo!"

I chuckled, "Sorry hot stuff, I got carried away."

"Watch what you call me." He grumbled.

I grabbed all his things, "I didn't get to help you last time, cause you walked off. So I'll help you now."

He sighed, "Ranboo why don't you focus on getting to your class."

"Cause your more important." I winked and held his hand.

He pulled his hand away, "What're you doing? Didn't we agree to keep things normal?"

"Yes, but you said if I carried Tubbo's things, I could hold your hand. So now I get to hold your hand." I smirked and held his hand.

This time he didn't resist, "Fine."

I walked him to his class then hugged him goodbye, "I'll see you at lunch?"

He sighed, "Sill thinking about it."

I squeezed his hand softly, "I'll set your stuff at your desk."

"You done have t-"

I'd already walked in. I set his things at his desk and then kissed his hand, "Until lunch, handsome."

He blushed, "Yeah, yeah now scram."

I blew him a kiss and he blushed. I didn't stay for him to see him get upset about me blowing kisses, I just made my way to class.

While I was in the hall I saw Tubbo and waved. He waved back and then I hurried to class.

The bell rang for lunch and I picked up my things. I left class and went to my locker to put my stuff away. Afterwards I went to the cafeteria to look for Tubbo.

As I was looking around I saw Ranboo talking to some girl. I don't know why....,but I got a little jealous.

I walked over to him and clung to his arm, "Hey Ranboo, whose this?"

He seemed surprised by my actions, but rolled with it, "No one. She was just asking me out."

"Oh cool." I said smiling at her.

She got awkard, "So uhm- as I was saying..."

"Go on." I encouraged her.

"Uh- nevermind!" She said and ran off.

Ranboo chuckled, "Were you jealous?"

"No." I said and let go of his arm.

He grabbed my hand, "Let's go sit down."

"I need to find Tubbo though." I said trying to pull away.

"Tubbo will find us, it's fine." He said pulling me along with him.

We sat at an empty table. Then all of a sudden we were swarmed by a crowd of people. Ranboo sat down with his back to the table. I sat the same way, right beside him. As more and more people joined the crowd Ranboo put his arm around my shoulders.

"Give me your hand." He whispered to me and tapped my other shoulder where his hand was.

I put my hand up and he held it. I was oddly comfortable. I didn't want to move or pull away.....infact I leaned my head on his shoulder causing him to blush.

As he talked and laughed with a bunch of people he rubbed my hand softly. It looked just like we were dating....and I liked it.

Then I saw Tubbo pop through the crowd. I waved Mt free hand at him and he waved back looking slightly confused. Still, he walked over to me, "What're you doing?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Ranboo wasn't paying attention to us, he was busy talking with his teammates.

"Why are you sitting like that....and why are you holding hands?" Tubbo asked.

I sighed, "Ranboo wanted me to stay close so that I didn't feel overwhelmed by all the people." I rolled my eyes, "Trust me I'd love to switch with you."

Tubbo blushed, "Could we?"

"Could we what?" I asked, "I can't hear you over everyone."

Louder, Tubbo asked, "Could we switch?"

"Switch what?" I asked confused.

"Switch places, so that I can sit where you are and Ranboo can put his arm around me instead." Tubbo smiled.

I squeezed Ranboo's hand, I didn't want to switch. I wanted to be the one Ranboo had his arm around.....no one else, just me.

Ranboo felt it and squeezed back, "What's wrong?"

I just stared at him and he flashed me a smile then looked away and continued talking.

Tubbo tapped my shoulder, "Tommy? Did you hear me?"

"No, what did you say?" I asked.

"Let's switch spots." He said.

"How though?"

"Just get up Tommy and I'll scoot next to him." Tubbo said.

I frowned, I don't want to move.

I want to stay where I am and be with Ranboo.

But....I have to.

I stood up and Ranboo pulled me back down slightly aggressively, "Where you going?"

I smiled, "No where."

He squeezed my hand and I squeezed back.

I looked to Tubbo, "Sorry, he won't let me leave."

"Tell him your going to the bathroom." Tubbo suggested.

I hate this.

I don't want to try and get away from Ranboo, I just want to stay with him.

But if I don't do this, Tubbo will get suspicious.

I sighed and squeezed Ranboo's hand for his attention.

He squeezed back, "Yes?"

"I need to use the restroom." I said and then foe some stupid reason,, I just couldn't stop myslef! I whispered into his ear, "Come with?"

He blushed, "Kay."

I stood up and so did he.

"Where you going Ranboo?" Purpled asked.

"The restroom." Ranboo answered.

"Together?..." he asked with an eyebrow raised.

Ranboo blushed, "Uh....no."

He let go of my hand and I glared at him. He shrugged and sat back down. I frowned and walked off to the restroom, even though I didn't have to go.

I waited like two minutes for it to be believable and then walked back over to the crowd.

I took a shaky breath.....I didn't want to see Ranboo with his arm around anyone else. That spot was for me. Only me.

I made my way through the crowd and saw Tubbo sat closely beside Ranboo. I smiled as I saw Ranboo holding his own hands in his lap as he spoke to the football players.

I sat down next to Tubbo, I didn't need to sit where I was before, because I knew Ranboo wouldn't put his arm around anyone but me.

"He won't put his arm around me." Tubbo frowned.

"Oh darn." I fake frowned.

Tubbo sighed, "I wish I could get his attention, but he won't listen to me."

"Just say his name." I suggested.

"I already did." Tubbo huffed and crossed his arms.

"Ranboo." I called not very loudly

Ranboo looked over to me, "Oh Tommy, your back. Come here."

Tubbo scoffed and I just looked at him awkwardly. He stood up and moved aside. I scooted down next to Ranboo and he put his arm back around me. He held my hand again and squeezed it, "What's up?"

"Tubbo was talking to you." I smiled.

He looked at Tubbo, "Yeah?"

Tubbo blushed, "Oh! Uhm, well- Tommy was uncomfortable, so he wanted to switch spots with me."

I frowned, Great...now I'm gonna have to move.

Ranboo furrowed his brows and squeezed my hand tightly, "Tommy is perfectly fine where he is."

"But, he said-"

"He said what?" Ranboo asked looking at me with an eyebrow raised.

I got nervous and I couldn't speak.

I don't want to upset Ranboo.

And I really don't want to upset Tubbo...

"Tommy?" Tubbo asked.

I blinked a couple times, "Uh-...."

Ranboo smiled, "Your fine right here with me, right Tommy?"

I breathed heavily, "I- I'm hungry."

Ranboo snapped his fingers with his free hand, "Food."

He was handed a tray of food and he put it on his lap, "Better?"

"Uh...I'm actually thirsty." I lied.

He snapped his fingers again, "Water."

Someone handed him a water bottle and took the tray of food back. He gave me the water bottle, "How bout now?"

I grabed the bottle and began drinking it.

"Ranboo, if he's uncomfortable you should just let him get up." Tubbo said sounding a little annoyed.

I set the water bottle down and Ranboo asked, "Are you uncomfortable in any way at all? Cause if you are, we can go sit somewhere more private."

"He doesn't want somewhere private. He just wants to be alone." Tubbo said.

"Is that true Tommy?....You don't want to sit with me?...You don't want my arm around you?.....You don't want to hold my hand?" He asked staring at me.

Tubbo laughed, "Ranboo why would you even ask?"

"He wants my spot." I whispered to Ranboo for only him to hear.

Why does it feel like I'm choosing Ranboo over Tubbo?....

Ranboo squeezed my hand and whispered back, "He's not getting it."

"Uhm, hello?" Tubbo asked.

"Tommy is fine, so stop bothering him." Ranboo said and then continued talking with his friends.

Tubbo scoffed, "Tommy, why don't you lash out like always? Tell him your uncomfortable, already."

I sighed, "Ranboo."

Ranboo turned his attention to me again, "Yeah?"

"I'm uncomfortable." I said, but stared in his eyes letting him know I wasn't.

He smiled, "I'm sorry about that, but your not going anywhere."

He squeezed my hand and went back to socializing.

Tubbo huffed, "What's his problem? Why won't he just let you go?"

"I'm sorry Tubbo." I said.

He shook his head, "This has nothing to do with you Tommy, so don't worry about it."

"Are you guys dating!?" Some random girl yelled at Ranboo.

Ranboo and I both blushed, "No."

Thank god Tubbo had just walked off.

Everyone started talking about the one topic now.

"Why are you sitting so close?"

"Why's he wearing your letterman jacket?"

"Why are you holding hands?"

"Why do you guys always hug?"

"Why'd you walk him to class?"

"Why'd you kiss his hand?"

"Why'd you blow him a kiss?"

"Why was he at your bus stop?"

Now I was uncomfortable. I squeezed Ranboo's hand, "Ranboo."

He squeezed back, "I'm sorry."

Ranboo took a deep breath, "Guys!" Everyone stopped talking and he continued, "There's explanations for all of your different questions, but we don't really need to explain ourselves. We're both single and not together, all you have to know is that Tommy and I are close friends."

That seemed to satisfy everyone's curiosity as they moved on to the next topic.

I sighed in relief and leaned onto Ranboo. He blushed, "You alright?"

I hummed, "Mhmm."

I think....

I think I like Ranboo...as a good friend.
