Chapter Text
One
Ranboo sat in front of the camera, smiling slightly behind the mask. He successfully removed any hints of being a Fortnite fan. His ears were slightly reddened and he could already hear Tommy's impending taunts. This guy was so cruel.
Let's omit the fact that it was Ranboo who proposed the idea (to force) Tommy to sit in the closet to help him with the stream.
A lot of messages ran through the chat and he thought for a second, surprised at how used to it - thousands of people watching him do something stupid; money that provided him with prosperity, probably for the rest of his life; and of course the popularity that goes hand in hand. He blinked - now is not the time for self-digging and lengthy reflections on the nature of popularity and the effect it has on teenagers.
"So we're going to be making a gingerbread house tonight - and yes, chat, you haven't seen anything." He paused, staring intently at the camera. "Nothing."
User1: hi!
User2: What did I miss?
User3: AHHAAH OF COURSE
User4: I saw everything
User5: HELLO!!
The chat was blowing up as always. He was sure that soon everyone, even people who haven't watched his stream in their entire life, would find out about his Fortnite phase. Twitter was terrible. He sighed. It was inevitable, so he could just ignore everything and go with the flow.
He examined his desk again (which looked more like a crime scene). Two gingerbread houses stood as if nothing happened. They were a little ugly, but cute anyhow... if you looked from afar. He knew that enough time had passed, and he should've finished all this, but he couldn't just leave.
Maybe…
He clenched his hand into a fist.
"You know how it happens, chat. Sometimes you need to add spice, and since we have nothing spicy, and in any case I'm not going to mix sweet with spicy, so-" He swung, putting a little force into the blow and the house collapsed even from so little pressure.
User6: WHYYYYY
User7: NOOOOOOOOOO
User8: LET'S GOOO
User9: OH NO OUR HOUSE IT'S BROKEN
The pieces were on the table, and he stifled a laugh when he saw one part of the roof shattered.
"Actually, I don't know why I did it. But they call me a home wrecker for a reason." He chuckled at his own joke, ignoring the chat's reactions.
Then a new notification popped up on his phone from a very familiar person.
Tommy <3: why did you do it >:(
Tommy <3: you're dead to me
Tommy <3: i'm going to get out of the closet and kill you
Ranboo smiled a little softer, a little worried. He wasn't ashamed of his boyfriend, don't think. It's just that Tommy wasn't some kind of popular streamer, the American didn't want fans to strangle him with the attention and hatred that would undoubtedly follow.
Busy with the phone, he didn't notice how the closet door opened slightly and bows were thrown at him.
"Oh! Okay, okay, I get it, I made a mistake." He spoke fondly, knowing that Tommy would like to participate in this mess, but he couldn't, so he promised his boyfriend he would be good with the food and make everything great. "You know, chat, the gremlin from the closet has their own standards."
A new notification immediately came, but he defiantly didn't look at the phone screen, starting to restore the house and giggling a little when he looked at the broken roof. It shouldn't have been so funny.
"Okay. Okay, I can work with that."
User10: CLOSED GREMLIN
User11: YES YOU DESERVE THIS RANBOO
User12: HOUSE (((((
At least the chat loved Tommy without even realizing who it was. He didn't even want to try and guess how Twitter would think. At least then he can mock Tommy, calling him brother-
Oh no, that stupid joke certainly didn't pop into his mind. It suited Tommy better.
He spent too much time with this guy.
After the stream, when Ranboo was looking at the most stupid (partly brilliant in their stupidity) options for the one who was hiding in the closet (most of people thought of his mother, but there were also very strange options like Joe Biden) Tommy approached him, pulling long gloves off his hands.
It was kind of hot. He could admit it.
"I deliberately come out of the closet one more time to choke the fuck out of you." Tommy frowned comically, the tips of his lips curling downward. "How could you break this house!?"
Ranboo took a piece of the broken roof and put it in his mouth, "We're going to eat this anyway."
Tommy widened his eyes, looking at his boyfriend as if he had killed a defenseless kitten.
"Hey, what the fuck?!" He reached out sharply, grabbing the other by the wrist. "Why are you doing this?!"
"Isn't this literally food?"
"You- It gives atmosphere, you know? Nobody eats the gingerbread house right after! You have to put this on a shelf somewhere and admire it! Atmosphere, Ranboo! Atmosphere!" He grinned. "Although what I expected from a Fortnite fan."
Ranboo gasped. It was a blow below the belt.
"It was a long time ago!"
"Well, Twitter doesn't think so." Tommy moved closer, his grip softening, but he didn't let go. His touch brought warmth.
"God, don't even mention it."
"I can say whatever I want, you can't stop me!" Tommy grinned, making a face like he had some very stupid idea. "Or shut me up."
"Actually, that's not true-"
"Yes?" The blond's expression became more gentle, but the fire of mischief danced in his eyes. Ranboo should have paid attention to this, but he was distracted by the position he was in - slightly pinned to the edge of the table as Tommy got closer, forcing him to lean back slightly, mesmerized by the glow of blue eyes. "More like I am the one who can make you shut up."
Tommy lifted the corners of his lips, noticing the reddened tips of the other's ears, noticing how his boyfriend swallowed and the blond leaned over to kiss.
Ranboo immediately parted his lips, familiar with the situation, and taking the initiative, putting the phone aside, reaching out with his free hand to gently burrow into Tommy's hair, who loosened his grip on the other's wrist to interlace their fingers. Ranboo closed his eyes as the gentle thrill of intimacy spun his head.
It got intense, but at some point the Briton pulled back, causing a displeased moan.
But then Tommy leaned over to the other's ear, his hot breath burning and chilling as he stroked Ranboo's hand with his finger. Unfortunately, the dirty blonde didn't notice how Tommy's smile grew wider.
"Now let's fuck, I, or your mommy, as Twitter think, will like it." Tommy whispered, immediately pulling back and taking a few steps away, watching closely for the reaction.
Ranboo blinked, feeling the urge to return the contact as the other's words slowly got into his brain. The tingling of his lips messed with his thoughts until he finally understood what he had just been told. He looked at the disheveled and flushed Tommy in shock.
"You- you are not-"
"You destroyed the atmosphere, and now I have destroyed you."
"What?" Ranboo was still trying to shake off the fog from the rather intense kiss.
"House, Ranboob. You shouldn't have destroyed it." And with that, he fled to buy time.
The American blinked, his fingertips carefully touching his lips until the glowing stars in his chest faded away, disappointingly. And then he shouted.
"Tommy!"
Two
Tubbo was streaming while he and Ranboo, George, Capitan, and Jack, who happened to be here, played Risk. More precisely, they tried, considering that Ranboo decided that this was the worst day of his life. It wasn't really a big problem for others, because Tubbo was dying of laughter while Jack somehow managed to win.
"I- what did you do?! What did you do?!" Although no one had seen the American, it was immediately clear that he was angry.
"Am I just winning?" Jack didn't understand.
"Why are you on my territory?!"
"I want to win?"
"Didn't we make an alliance?!" Ranboo groaned, covering his face with his hands so as not to see what was happening on the screen.
"Well, you started taking more territories, it would be logical if I decided to stop giving you the opportunity to win."
"It would be logical if you followed the agreement! My God!" He slammed his hand on the table, raising his voice. "You are worse than the education system, with the education system you at least know that you will be abandoned!"
User13: OMG
User14: RANBOO NO
User15: I CAN'T BREATHE
User16: TUBBO IS DYING HELP HIM
"Oi, dude." Jack just sighed.
"You just want to let George win! Oh my God, why did I even decide teaming up with you was a good idea?!"
Tubbo slid lower, trying not to laugh. He didn't succeed.
"Hey! Are you blaming George?" Jack was indignant.
"No, I blame your taste!"
"What?"
Tubbo gasped. "Tommy thinks George is pretty too. Is his taste bad too?"
Ranboo widened his eyes. "I don't like what you're hinting at."
User17: TOMMY?
User18: who's Tommy?
User19: NOT THE EDUCATION SYSTEM
User20: GEORGE
"You have to come to terms with the truth." Tubbo grinned.
"It's good you haven't seen Tommy's gallery." Jack interposed.
"Oh, I saw." Ranboo spoke bitterly.
"Tommy?" Asked the Captain, lost in this dialogue.
"Oh, exactly!" Tubbo exclaimed, also noticing a bunch of chat messages from people who didn't understand what they were talking about. "Ranboo?"
The American sighed. He wasn't angry at Tubbo for bringing up the topic. After all, he and Tommy had dated since their third year in high school, after a year the blond moved to America with his family, so things slipped here and there from time to time. They had already discussed all of this and how easy, yet sensible, the Briton felt about Ranboo's popularity was refreshing. Things will be revealed eventually, and Tommy is no stranger to some popularity since he was the brother of fucking Wilbur Soot.
"Tommy. He lives here." This was not a lie. After all, he did live here, staying for Christmas after taking a year-long break after graduation and looking for a university.
"Yes! You should talk to him later!" Tubbo got the idea, smiling at the prospect of introducing more people to Tommy.
User21: BROTHER?!
User22: RANBOO HAVE A BROTHER ???
User23: was that a closet gremlin?
User24: they are a fan of George pffff
It's good that Ranboo didn't see the chat, or else he would definitely have thrown something at the wall from these messages. Tubbo giggled vilely, knowing full well that Tommy had already been named Ranboo's mom. So as a real friend, Toby didn't say anything, deciding that it would be much more fun to watch the storm that will rip up Twitter when they find out the truth.
Three
"Sweet home Alabama!" Tommy chanted, grinning as he watched Ranboo glare at him.
He sat in Ranboo's room while the other lay just resting. Tommy scrolling through his Twitter feed. As surprising as it was, it was thanks to Tommy and his secret fan account that the American recognized all the strange jokes and events taking place in his fanbase.
"Don't even start!" Ranboo covered his face with his hands, turning away from the blond sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Don't even start? Ranboo, my love, how could you think that I have anything against you?" Tommy continued to scoff.
The older boy sighed, throwing his arms around, "You literally own my anti-account."
"So what?"
"Tommy, you spend two hours of your time coming up with tweets to offend me." Ranboo lifted his hand, vaguely tracing some figure in the air. "I saw your account, Tommy. I'm actually subscribed to your account! You know how hard it is to remember to switch from your main to your fan account?"
Tommy just stuck out his tongue like a child. But then he made his face more worried, "Ranboo, why are you looking at hate? Ah, why are you looking for hate about yourself, Ranboo? Is everything okay, Ranboo, my dear?"
Ranboo groaned, making a strange sound.
"Oh, honey, it's okay, everyone loves you and doesn't hate you at all, see?" The blond leaned down literally poking his boyfriend's face with a phone with a bunch of stupid tweets from his own anti-account.
Ranboo fuck off@Ranbooyousuck
I only wake up to find out that Ranboo has scheduled a new stream
- > Ranboo fuck off@Ranbooyousuck
AAHHAHAAH HE'S LOSING!!!
Ranboo fuck off@Ranbooyousuck
Ranboo you a bitch
Ranboo fuck off@Ranbooyousuck
Ranboo why do you have so much money? Give it all to me
"Tommy, I've seen all these tweets before!"
"But you didn't answer me!" The blond pouted.
"Why?" Ranboo pushed the other's phone away from him, grinning. "You're too hungry for attention, you know?"
Tommy widened his eyes, frowning. "Ranboo! You're back talking me! You hate me so much. My God! Is that what you wanted eh? To break up with me before Christmas?"
The American just smiled, getting too used to such drama. After all, Tommy was literally in a drama club. Let's omit the fact that Ranboo was also in the same club too.
"Yes, that's exactly what I was planning. So I talked your parents into spending Christmas with me and I'm listening to your overprotective brother."
Tommy dramatically covered his mouth with his hands, making a miserable face.
"Besides, you dare to insult Wilbur! What then? You start insulting our dog? And then you leave me and we have to go to court, and then decide with whom Ally is left!"
"Tommy, we're not married."
"And whose fault is it?!" Tommy groaned in false despair, and then sharply froze, realizing what he was talking about, and blushed. "Wait, wait!"
Ranboo just laughed at how embarrassed his boyfriend was. It was nice to see how this guy could do something terribly awkward and not even grimace, but at the same time he blushed from the most stupid things.
"Don't laugh at me! I knew you were a traitor! Dirty American!"
"Tommy-" Ranboo tried not to laugh. "Your father is American."
"You twist my words! You're laughing at me! At the way I speak! God, honey, what does Twitter say about this?!"
Tommy immediately grabbed the phone and started typing.
Ranboo didn't even try to stop him, grabbing his own phone and tapping on the notification that soon popped up.
Ranboo fuck off@Ranbooyousuck
Ranboo hates people who are not as cool and rich as him
Ranboo should be cancelled and all the money taken away from him!
He just rolled his eyes at all this nonsense, coming up with an answer. Tommy didn’t have enough interactivity, didn’t he?
- > Ranboo@Ranboosaysstuff
No
He immediately widened his eyes, freezing in place. He forgot to change accounts. Oh my God, he forgot to change his account.
Ranboo looked up in prostration, meeting blue eyes full of horror and excitement. Tommy saw the replay. He swallowed an unpleasant lump, realizing that deleting the tweet was absolutely useless. Thousands of people have already seen this.
"Ranboo?" Tommy shifted his position, sitting closer, gently touching the other's cheeks with his fingers.
"I-" He swallowed, trying to breathe, trying to make his voice less shaky. "I forgot to change the account."
"Hey, big man, hey." Tommy began tracing small circles on his boyfriend's skin. "It's okay. You know we have a funny and stupid white streamer here. You didn't reveal anything. Replying to weird tweets will just be another thing of yours, right? You've been complaining about my lack of interactions. Well, look, now I'll have a bunch of followers and likes!"
Tommy's voice was soft, soothing, and his touch was grounding.
"But- Tommy, my God, I didn't mean-!" Ranboo sat down, putting his phone down and refusing to look at what was going on at all. "I do not-"
"Shush." Tommy shouted, putting a finger to the American's lips. "You know I don't care about your fanbase. I mean they still suck, who would watch a man play video games in their room anyway? But everything's okay, you know, I don't mind what happens."
Ranboo sighed and exhaled, calming himself, and gently removing Tommy's hand: "You know- Tommy, I don't want all these people to find you, you know the amount of hatred gets poured on me. I do my best to keep my image innocent, but what will happen now that thousands of people are following you?"
The blond gently took the other's face in his hands, squeezing slightly.
"Ranboo, people already know me. I'm Wilbur's brother and he has thousands of thousands of fans and he's friends with Quackity and Phil. That's not a problem. I don't care, you know?" Tommy smiled. "I'll use you to gain influence, honey."
"But-"
"If you are worried about your sex, then everything is fine, I will not push, but everything is fine. I don't mind. Everyone can recognize me as your close friend from school, and I can gain influence simply by using your name and that I am bisexual and love George."
Ranboo sighed, melting at Tommy's touch, calming down with his confidence. Really. He should have more faith in his boyfriend, in how he knew how to cope with popularity.
"No, no, it's okay. People know I have someone, you know. I just... I want you to be okay."
Tommy smiled - more happily. His cheeks were flushed with attention and love.
"I'll be fine. If anything, Wilbur and Tubbo will cancel them." The blond leaned down lightly kissing the other on the cheek and then on the nose and forehead - he covered Ranboo's entire face with kisses. "And you stop being a pussy. People can fuck off when they find out that I love Schlatt."
Ranboo smiled, more confident than he had been before.
"I'm not a pussy."
"Yes, you are. I still remember how you hid your eyes for the first two months of your career."
"Tommy!"
"Blah blah, dysmorphia, blah blah, I know." Tommy tilted Ranboo's face to the side, peering into the features. "How can a handsome man like you have such problems?"
Ranboo just shrugged, knowing full well that this was a kind joke. He didn't know what he would do without Tommy's constant support, reassurance and pure love with which he looked at the face of the American. With Tommy's help, he began streaming and posting tiktoks, and with his support, he dealt with popularity and hate. It was Tommy who comforted him during the panic attacks, it was Tommy who assured him that everything was fine, that he was worthy of love. A warm feeling of gratitude grew inside as Ranboo looked at the other fondly.
"I love you."
Tommy's eyes widened slightly at the sudden confession, but his smile widened.
"I love you too." He sat closer, hugging and pulling the older one to squeeze him tighter.
They froze, plunged into a comfortable silence, diluted by the distant noises of a troubled city filled with hurrying people, while two loving boys warmed themselves in each other's touch.
But it didn't last too long.
"Ranboo?" Tommy whispered.
"Mm?" Ranboo hummed, relaxed and closed his eyes.
"Let's fuck with Twitter until they realize I'm not your mommy or your brother?"
The American just sighed, realizing that it was simply impossible to fix Tommy.
"Do you want to queerbait them?"
Tommy broke his embrace so Ranboo could see his disgruntled face, "It's not queerbait if it's true! And don't even pretend it's not funny."
"Well, okay." Ranboo opened his eyes, possessively pulling his boyfriend closer. He could admit that it was a little funny.
"Yes!"

WHY RANBOO
Four
At what point playing horror became one of the permanent options on his twitch, he didn't know. But given his love of horror, this shouldn't have come as such a surprise. So it was not unusual that at 1am he was in front of the camera, talking to the chat and occasionally shouting. Soundproofing more than ever helped to not wake up his parents and Tommy. Although Ranboo suspected that Tommy himself was awake, enjoying the increased influence or playing Animal Crossing. Or he spoke to Wilbur, who was too absent-minded about the upcoming album, to realize that it was time for Tommy to go to bed.
Timezones suck.
However, perhaps playing horror through VR was not a good decision. If only because earlier he was frightened by the sound of the door.
"Fu-rick!" Ouch. Okay, that was close.
User25: RANBOO
User26: HE SWEAR
User27: EXCUSE MEEEE ????
Of course the chat was noticed. Ranboo was confident that the same thread would now be replenished with a new clip. Not that he cares.
He focused on the game again, moving into a new room. An unpleasant feeling settled on the tongue with a sour taste. But let's be honest, this bad feeling came in the beginning and didn't go away. So you can't blame him for what happened next.
He just wanted to stand quietly in this not suspicious, almost empty room in the center of which there was a dresser. Dresser that needed to be checked. And he, like an idiot, came closer, opening the first drawer.
Something quick and small jumped out at him.
"What the hell! Oh-" He made a series of high-pitched, whining sounds, covering his eyes, although it was literally useless, waving his arms and picking up some loud, muffled sound from somewhere to the left.
"I hate this, I hate this, I-" He whined, watching as the rat - and it was this creature that scared him so - runs away.
His chat was literally bursting with messages flying too quickly, which wasn't unusual after he reacted so vividly. But something caught his attention.
User28: OH MY GOD
User29: L
User30: AHAHAHSJEJJSJD
User31: L
User32: WHAT WAS IT RANBOO NOOOO
User33: GOD
User34: L
User35: YOU DROPPED SOMETHING
User36: SOMETHING FALLED
User37: WHAT
Did something... fall?
He paused the game, peering nervously into the chat. The adrenaline caused by fear made him even more worried.
"Wait, chat, wait, did something fall?"
The chat immediately filled with affirmative messages.
Ranboo sighed, he would have just ignored it, but he didn't want to fall by stepping on something. But the biggest reason was that Tommy's stuff was in this room. If he broke something... uh oh.
So he quickly took off his headset, looking around until he noticed a rectangle lying next to his feet. A very familiar rectangle.
His eyes, wide and full of horror, focused on the switch. Tommy's switch.
"Fuck." The word seemed to slip out of him, very well heard in the silence.
User38: WAIT WHAAAT
User39: OMG
User40: RANBOO?
User41: UH OH IT'S BAD
User42: I HEARD IT RIGHT??
User43: RANBOO WHAT
"Damn." Ranboo bent down carefully, lifting the switch, praying that nothing bad would happen. Slowly he turned the device over. There were cracks on the screen. "Damn."
Ranboo groaned in frustration. He prayed that Tommy didn't watch the stream right now. God, Tommy is going to kill him.
Of course, the gods who watched him from above were not merciful.
"Ranboo." There was a very familiar voice from somewhere behind, making the American flinch, turning nervously around.
"Damn." It sounded frankly weak and pathetic.
"The little bird told me that you dropped something." Tommy, who was standing in the aisle because of which he wasn't seen by the audience, smiled. His eyes were cold.
"Um, hello?" Ranboo tried.
"Show me." Tommy stepped closer, the smile off his face as he held out a hand that entered the frame.
"Uh, what?" Ranboo swallowed nervously.
"Switch. Ranboo. Give it to me." Tommy spoke clearly.
User44: HIS HAS A PROBLEM
User45: WHO IS THIS?
User46: IS THIS HIS BROTHER?
User47: L
User48: WHY DO THEY HAVE A BRITISH ACCENT
"I, I absolutely don't understand what you are talking about." The older muttered, stepping back.
"Look at your hands, bitch."
Ranboo looked down, swallowing again. His heart skipped a beat. Oh, really, yes. He was holding a switch. The broken screen was perfectly visible.
"Look, Tommy, I really didn't mean to, I mean I-"
"Give me the switch." Tommy cut him off, frowning and raising his voice.
"Oh yeah, mhm, yeah." The American looked around the room nervously, holding out the broken device. "I mean I really didn't mean it, it was an accident-"
"Shut up." Tommy didn't even want to listen, inspecting the damage and trying to turn on the switch. The screen lit up, covered in multicolored stripes. The blond's face went blank.
"Tommy I-" Ranboo stared in horror at the non-working screen in the other's hands.
"I'm going to kill you." The Briton looked up, full of bitter disappointment, gently running his fingers over the damaged screen. "I'm going to fucking kill you, and then I'm going to cry so your ghost can see how much suffering you've caused me, and you gonna suffer as I slowly ruin the lives of all the people around me because of the toxic spiral of depression that your murder caused."
Tommy... definitely spent too much time with him.
Silence hung between them.
User45: OMGGGG
User46: ICBBB
User47: HELP
User48: I LOVE THEM
"Um-" Ranboo tried to answer something.
"I'm going to fucking-" Tommy sighed heavily. Oh, his breath was shaking, his hands were shaking. "I'm fucking going to fucking break you. And not even in a good way."
"Tommy, Tommy, I'm literally a streamer, I can buy you a new switch." Ranboo stepped closer, out of frame and gently touching the other's cheeks. "You will get a new switch, it's not so bad."
The blond looked at his boyfriend, a guilty poor creature full of remorse. He sighed, squeezing the switch harder.
"Are you trying to buy my love?"
"What?"
"Do you think that the love of such a great man like me can be purchased?" Tommy grinned, still angry, so he continued to mock. "I think you sit too much on weird sites, if you know what I mean."
Ranboo blinked back.
"You did not-"
"Blah blah I'm rich, blah blah, Tommy take my money, blah blah love me."
"You literally asked me to give you my merch-"
"Here! You insult me! You want to ruin my reputation! This is what you want, huh?" Tommy waved his hand. "Chat, Ranboo's chat, did you hear that? It can't be left as it is. All these wealthy streamers think they are better than others when they are not!"
Ranboo groaned.
User45: OMG
User46: ROASTED LMAO
User47: L
User48: WAIT IT'S THAT TOMMY????? TGW GEOGEG FAN?
"You just love doing it, don't you?"
Tommy smiled, crossing his arms over his chest. "Maybe. But you can buy me George's merch, right? As an excuse, right? And a new switch."
The American sighed, looking at his boyfriend's smug face.
"Okay, I'll buy you George's merch and switch. Why do you even need his merch you already have-"
"So you don't want my forgiveness. After you broke my switch because you were a pussy in the game."
"That's not what I meant!-"
"You're terrible, Ranboob boy."
"Do not call me that!"
"Will 'my bitch' be better?"
Ranboo made a high-pitched sound crying and covering his face with his hands.

It was a calm stream. Except that Ranboo really wanted to write threats on the cards. But you can't blame him. Because he, as a person with an incredibly strong will, didn't write the threats.
He sat in front of the camera at the table, in his Christmas merch, periodically propped the multi-colored glasses on his nose. He revealed his eyes about ten months ago, but it was still comforting to have red and green lenses between him and the camera.
"And then I-" He tried to draw something vaguely similar to a Christmas tree. He didn't succeed. "Yes. Little Christmas tree."
He once again critically examined his doodle, deciding to somehow fix it: "And let's draw a little tiny hat, right here..."
If you look at it from a far, you might even find it cute.
"What are you doing?"
Ranboo looked up from his place, to see Tommy standing across the room.
"Oh man, are you signing this shit again?" Tommy tilted his head, stepping closer, still invisible to the audience. "Are you insulting your fans again with these ugly drawings?"
User49: TOMMY ???
User50: IT'S TOMMY
User51: TOMMY
User52: IT'S HIM!!!
User53: who is it??
"Hey! They're not that bad!"
Tommy rolled his eyes as he stepped closer and stood behind Ranboo. They had discussed this before, so the appearance on the stream in all his glory - namely in George's merch - was expected. Ranboo's eyes widened slightly anyway when the blond leaned forward, placing his hand on the table to get a better look at the doodles. He was now clearly visible in the frame - his blue eyes, golden hair shining in warm lighting. Ranboo didn't have to look at the chat to know what they were screaming.
Tommy raised an eyebrow at his boyfriend. There was too little distance between their faces.
"I know babies who draw better than you."
"You don't know a single baby."
"I don't need to know babies to know that they paint better than you!"
"You said you knew one."
"No, I didn't!"
"Yes, that's literally what you said."
Tommy pouted, squatting down. The table was too high so that now only his displeased face was visible. "You're evil."
"I don't- you just talk before you think." Ranboo turned his body towards the other, away from the camera.
User49: OMGFC
User50: HE'S PRETTY
User51: TOMMYYYY
User52: HELLO !!!!
"I know you're grinning, bitch." Tommy continued to complain. But then he broke into a smile, as if invented something stupid. Ranboo, unfortunately, knew that expression too well. "And you break my things before you think about it!"
The American groaned. Certainly.
"I bought you a new one! And I apologized!"
"And now you're trying to avoid your guilt! You are such a bitch."
"I'm not trying to avoid my guilt, you just bring it up every time you lose an argument!"
"Not true! Didn't happen!"
"You did it now."
Tommy's smile grew smaller, more awkward. He himself seemed to shrink, sinking lower so that only his eyes were visible. Ranboo sighed slightly, feeling the familiar flutter of butterflies from the painting in front of him.
Silence hung between them as a blush covered the blond's cheeks.
"Anyway!" He suddenly exclaimed, standing up. "I've got things to do, yeah! Oh! Hello Ranboo chat, yeah, thanks, don't listen to this vile American, he just wants to go against Britain, yeah!"
And he waved his hand as a goodbye and ran away.
Ranboo turned to the camera, smug.
"Ha, what an idiot." He spoke more gently than he expected.

- - - > User38@user38
Don't speculate about their sex dude
It's disgusting
Plus one
Ranboo participated in the Monopoly along with Sneeg, Tubbo and for some reason Sapnap. The choice of the game for the Christmas stream was the best. Christmas tree, bright lights of garlands, gifts, broken friendships - integral parts of the celebration of Christmas. Everyone knows this.
"Yes!" Tubbo cried out, throwing up his hands. He was the one who was streaming. And now he was glad that Sapnap would have to pay.
"Dude." Sapnap said displeasedly.
"Money money money!"
"I really hope you go to jail." Like a good friend, put Ranboo in.
"It's only been thirty minutes and you're using threats already?" Sneeg chuckled.
"He's winning!"
"It's not my fault that you all suck." Answered Tubbo.
"Hey!" Sapnap was indignant. "Ranboo, I suggest you and I team up."
"How'd you think we would manage that?"
"You'll lend me money."
"And you'll buy more land, yeah. You're almost bankrupt!" Ranboo was indignant.
"That's why Tubbo is winning." Sneeg concluded wisely.
"Oh God, then you can lend him money!" Ranboo groaned
"You know what? I'll do it."
"Oh my God-"
"I knew you were a good person, Sneeg." Thanked Sapnap. "I will laugh at Ranboo when he loses."
"I'll laugh at you when you both go bankrupt!"
"You have the smallest territory, bossman, I think you're in the red here." Said Tubbo
"I hate you all."
"And here he is again!" Sneeg laughed.
"I want you all to go bankrupt."
User53: ranboo not again
User54: HES SO DONE AJAJAJAJ
User55: TUBBO. GONNA WIN
User56: BREAKING FRIENDSHIP LET'S GOOOO
The game continued, diluted with jokes and an increasingly bitter Ranboo. Don't misunderstand him. He loved his friends and games. And he had no anger issues. He only gots this issues when he lost unfairly. Like now. With Sneeg's help, Sappnap was able to keep playing and Tubbo's dominance in the game was undeniable.
Ranboo's money ran out and so did his patience. At some point, he threw the dice, his figure began its journey across the playing field and he stopped... at the prison.
"I hate it, I'm actually gonna kill it. I don't care that it is an inanimate object. I don't care that this game is absolutely not material. I'm going to find where the developers of this game are based and kill them!"
The others burst out laughing, too accustomed to such behavior and at the same time surprised by the new and new threats that Ranboo generated.
"Chill out, you deserve it!" Tubbo calmed him down, trying not to laugh.
"Whore!" Ranboo just exclaimed, perhaps even too loudly, but he didn't care.
"I told you it was a bad idea to be on your own." Sneeg continued.
"It looks like Ranboo is having troubles." Sapnap inserted.
User57: POOR RANBOO
User58: HES SAID IT AGAIN AHAHAHA
User59: RANBOOOO
User60: EXCUSE MEEE
"I-" Ranboo gasped. "You all suck. You really suck!"
"Pfff, or call Tommy, he'll comfort you!" Tubbo scoffed.
"Yes, take Tommy, I think this is the only person who will save us from even greater threats."
"You'd better bring this kid here, I think he'll play Monopoly better than you." Sapnap decided to support others.
"Wait- do you really think Tommy will play well? Play Monopoly?" Ranboo even forgot to be angry.
"Well..." Sapnap murmured.
"We can try!" Tubbo was immediately delighted, typing a message to someone.
"Wait! Are you really?" Ranboo's eyes widened.
"Oh God, we'll get Tommy!" Sneeg supported.
"Oh my god-" Ranboo simply decided that if he closed his eyes, he wouldn't see what was happening on the screen.
"He's on his way!" Tubbo notified, too agitated.
His phone chimed with a new notification. He just sighed, taking out his phone.
Tommy <3: You are an idiot
Tommy <3: Ahahaha turn around
Ranboo turned to watch his door open. He blinked wearily at the overly energetic teenager.
"Hello my dear!" Tommy waved his hand.
"I wish my parents would not agree to let you stay here."
"Oh no, they love me too much!" The blond stepped closer, smiling happily. "You can't help but love me!"
User57: my dear????
User58: TOMMY
User59: SUS US US
User60: HELO TOMMY
Perhaps the best thing was that only Tubbo could see the chat.
"Tommy!" Tubbo greeted.
"He can't hear you." Notified Ranboo and bangs his head against the table in a vain attempt to get away from here.
"Well, do it so that he hears me!"
Tommy, oddly enough, figured out what the problem was pretty quickly. He leaned down, grabbing Ranboo by the collar and trying to lift him up. Unsurprisingly, it didn't work out.
Ranboo only raised an eyebrow at all these actions, trying not to laugh. His irritation subsided, drowned out by gaiety and tenderness, when he saw the other's face frown with tension, how Tommy's cheeks began to burn with shame, brightly emphasizing the blue of his eyes.
"You're a bitch!"
"I'm not."
"You are."
"You're just weak."
"Hey!" Tommy pulled more, tighter fabric around Ranboo's neck. The American widened his eyes, feeling a stab of pain, and in an attempt to avoid it, he got up from his seat.
"What the hell-" He doesn't have time to finish his sentence when Tommy quickly walks around him, literally falling into a chair.
"Bitch!"
Ranboo inertia moved forward, almost falling, a high, frightened sound burst out of him.
"Did you kill him?" Sneeg's voice is heard over the headphones as he tries to catch his breath.
"What the hell, Tommy!"
"And who is winning now?"
"Tommy, I-" Then Ranboo notices one thing. It is he who hears the voices of their friends, and not the blond. "You're an idiot."
"Why?"
"I still have headphones." Ranboo sees how slowly Tommy realizes that he shouldn't be fighting for a chair, but for headphones. The American doesn't even try to suppress his laughter. "Oh my god, I can't believe that you're just like that-"
Tommy crosses his arms in displeasure until he grins.
"I know how to fix this!"
"I won't give you headphones." Ranboo, still laughing, steps back as far as the wire will allow.
"Oh no, honey, you misunderstood me." Tommy smiles.
The American raises an eyebrow, widening his eyes when he sees Tommy reaching down somewhere.
“Wait!” Ranboo stood too far away to stop the other.
Tommy pulls the headphones out. The room immediately fills with the voices of the others.
"Wait, now they can hear themselves through the microphone! Tommy-" Ranboo tries.
"La-la-la, you lose bitch!"
User61: HONEY????
User62: OH MY GOD NO
User63: WHAT TOMMY SAID???
User64: WHY ARE THEY SO GAY
"Tommy, what the fuck!" Sapnap exclaims in displeasure, wincing at the echo.
"Now I can hear everyone!"
"Oh my God." Ranboo just decides to sit right on the floor and pretend everything is okay.
"I can hear myself?" Tubbo asks.
"Really?" Sneeg cannot but intervene.
"Yes, and in general everyone's voices are kind of strange!"
Ranboo can see Tommy covering his mouth with his hand, stifling a laugh to keep from giving himself away.
"Don't you have such a problem?" Tubbo still didn't understand the situation.
"No, all is fine!" Tommy replies, slightly out of breath, which makes his voice sound unnaturally high.
"Are you okay?" Tubbo is worried, and that worry seems to break Tommy completely.
“Yes, everything-” He starts laughing, rolling away from the table and pressing his legs to him. "Things are good!"
Ranboo himself, despite the absurdity in which this stream has become, begins to smile, seeing how brightly the other's eyes shine, how he bows his head sweetly while laughter escaping his lips.
"Tubbo." Sapnap decides to take pity, but doesn't have time to do it.
Tubbo looks at his chat.
User65: TOMMY DISCONNECTED HEADPHONES
User66: AHAHAHPZPZPIAA
User67: I'm Dying
User68: TOMMY TURNED HEADPHONES OFF
"Oh!" Exclaims Tubbo in understanding. "Tommy what the fuck!"
Tommy can't answer - he wheezes, trying to breathe.
"You killed him, he is about to die because of you." Ranboo inserts.
"Why?"
"He's going to die laughing now. My sweet boyfriend is going to die, Tubbo. What am I going to tell Wilbur?"
User69: WHAT
User70: SO WHAT
User71: BOYFRIEND???
User72: I-
Tubbo's eyes widen at this confession, but decides it's none of his business. However, he writes a quick message while others pick up the conversation.
Tubbo 6:55pm
Boyfriend??????
Ranboo 6:55pm
Everything's under control
Tubbo inhales, deciding that that gays can figure it out on their own.
"Wilbur is going to write so many sad songs about it." Sneeg noticed.
"He's a bigger drama queen than Tommy." Ranboo agrees.
"I'm not a drama queen!" Tommy exclaims, his voice still hoarse after the laugh session.
"Yes you are." Surprisingly, Sapnap and Ranboo answer in sync.
Tommy just stares at his boyfriend sitting on the floor with eyes full of betrayal.
"I'm going to choke you."
"Hey, I don't think I'm going to like this-"
"The main thing is that I will like it!"
"Hey, hey, what's the safe word-"
Tommy freezes for a second as Ranboo's cheeks are blushed.
"You're so disgusting, I don't know why I thought you were a good match at all. I'm so out of your league. I could marry Tubbo!"
"Oh, yes, I remember how you offered it to me."
"Yes! That would make a good joke!"
"But there are so many problems with that."
"Wait, wait, wait!" Interrupts Ranboo, standing up and walking over to Tommy. "Wait, let's rewind. Let's take a few steps back, yeah. Wedding?"
"Oh, somebody's getting jealous!" Tubbo intervened.
"I wanted to marry Tubbo?" Tommy looked questioningly at his boyfriend.
"Why?"
"Would that be funny? Would Wilbur be so worried?" The blond slid down, making himself smaller.
"My God, why am I just learning about this now?"
"I forget to tell you?"
"That is, if you did get married, I would only find out about it after the fact?"
User73: BOYFRIEND?? WAIT WHY THEY CHANGE THE TOPIC
User74: RANBOO SOUNDS SO JEALOUS
User75: I CAN'T THINGS HAPPENS SO FAST
User76: HELP I'M DIE
User77: WE ARE INTERFERING SMT?
User78: WILBUR?????
"It seems to me that I need to leave?" Sapnap asks.
"Heh, well I-" Tommy runs a hand awkwardly through his hair.
"We should definitely leave, dude." Confirms Sneeg.
"Oh my God." Ranboo groans. "My boyfriend is cheating on me on stream."
"With me!" Tubbo exclaims too cheerfully.
"Yes, it's Tubbo!" Tommy picks it up immediately.
"Why does it matter?!" Ranboo sits down on the floor again.
"It's Tubbo." Tommy nods as if that explains everything.
"I'm going to kill someone. Perhaps myself."
"Hey Ranboo, what example do you set for your boobers fans?"
"They are not called like that!"
"Yes, yes, of course."
Ranboo covers his face with his hands, screaming.
