Chapter 1: Ahh yes a “normal” day

Chapter Text

Ranboo after a long day of work and, thankfully, not babysitting was walking home. Dim street lights lit the the streets, ranboo took out a cigarette and lit it, was it bad? Yeah? Was ranboo underage for smoking? Technically to humans/overworld hybrids but ranboo didn't care getting to a light blue front door opening and entering the house sitting on the floor taking out the braid that sat low on ranboos head.

After a couple hours of nothing ranboo took out their phone messing about somehow clicking an enter button sent him into a gc which he's not apart off.

Banshee: oh? Um all I mean I can shapeshift into anything

Nukebee: wait bad are you at ranboos yet?

Muffindemon: no change of plans we're at the skate park.

___________

Ranboo placed the phone down tears streaming slowly down ranboos face bad was braiding their hair the cigarette pack was next to ranboos foot though the has already put one out, today was quite at the skate park one or two others there but pretty empty, today was not a good day it was overwhelming in general it was shit. For no reasons ranboo felt selfish guilty for thinking this but today was just not good but these days have became more and more frequent. Atleast ranboo wasn't alone.

Bad had caught on quite quickly so they necessarily didn't bug ranboo, ranboo was sad and need time to calm down bad knew that nothing in particular made ranboos day bad so they braided ranboos hair in hope to calm ranboo down abit.

"Ranboo?"

"Hmm?"

"Hi just, sorry about the chat I'm sure it wasn't helping" bad says

"No, it's fine but later we should change the gc's name to moonlight"

"Why"

"Why not"

"Reasonable let's do it tomorrow"

Then the two went back into silent.

Ranboo didn’t hate the gc no ranboo found it as free entertainment ranboo was in the works break room, one hour before ranboo’s shift ended, smoking no one really cared though putting the cigarette out as their break was almost over then ranboo was babysitting again.

Notes:

Tw
Reference of Suicidal thoughts

Chapter Text

Ranboo was driving from work currently heading to babysitting, the kids ranboo is babysitting were what ranboo would call regular kids as ranboo would babysit them often, atleast one a week.

Ranboo let out a sigh as the bitter cold wind attacked ranboos skin. Entering them home the kids were peaceful tv on colouring out toys out ect. No task but care for the gremlins so taking out ranboos phone seeing what the groupchats up to.

3:04 pm

Bad: bye

Ranboo puts down the phone moving the kitchen to cook some dinner for those kids who've all moved to watch a movie, recently ranboo has been more tired with life. But ranboo hadn't actually tried anything to end it... yet.

Putting the plates of food out ranboo set out to get the kids knowing they might complain.

Moonlight

Chapter 4: Meetup?

Chapter Text

It was 3 pm on sunny afternoon and ranboos shift just ended walking out the bakery, as well ranboo works at bakery, it was quite not many people around at this point of that day which is wierd as it was just rush hour, not paying attention ranboo bumps into two short people a blondie and brunette the blonde taller then the brunette, the two stumble backwards “oh! Sorry” ranboo says snapping out off their thoughts.

”ahhh fuck!” The blodie shouts making ranboo jump back slightly heel pressed into the ground. The brunette laughing at the reaction.

“Hayy stranger” said brunette pulls the blonde up, whilst saying that to ranboo. How was ranboo supposed to say? Hi back, maybe?

”oh hello.” ranboo says waving before stepping around them to carry on home.

"WAIT WHAT'S YOUR FUCKING NAME?" Ranboo turns to face them all they wanted to do was go home, to much to ask for? Most likely yes. Letting a sigh ranboo debates if ranboo should give these two strangers their name.

"It's ranboo, yours?" Their faces turn to shock, confusing then glee in like 5 seconds the name isn't that interesting more wierd then that.

"I'm tommy a great man the biggest this is tubbo are you in a gc maybe called moonlight?" The tommy whoever says it dawns quickly on ranboo what these mf were on about, ranboo groans lightly the two look at each other. “Did we do something to make you unc-“ tommy starts off.

”oh no! No just erm tired and yeah thats it…” ranboo says rubbing the back of ranboos neck before walking off away from the two, or attempt to. The two though it would be oh so great and so totally okay to follow ranboo “are you two lost or something?” Ranboo tried to be nice, polite but why should they if these two are following them?

”no we want to hang out!” Tubbo says gleaming up “I know bad said your hair was long but damn it is really long” Tubbo carries on, in truth Ranboo’s hair was at the waist and ranboo was around 7’6 or 7’9 so yes Ranboo’s hair is long like super long?

”ok we can hang out, not here though” ranboo says whilst the two grab onto ranboos arms pulling ranboo along with them to who knows were? After a couple minutes of walking down empty old paths they made it infront of a house? A cabin? Ehh ranboo really didn’t care tommy busted in.

”OI LOOK WHO’S HERE!” Tommy shouts, ranboo looks in there was a couple people inside tommy pointing towards ranboo.

”oh whose that?” Another brunette says. They look ranboo up and down before their attention turned onto tommy and tubbo again. “It’s the ranboo from the group chat.”

_________

Ranboo places the phone down head in their arms tears slowly making their way down ranboos face the lights were out cigarettes burned and crushed on the counter beside ranboo.

Ranboo was going to meet up with some strangers tomorrow ranboo doesn’t even know were to go to at this point. Atleast bads there and umm tommy tubbo wilbur techno and Phil they seem okay it gave comfort bit ranboo felt forced to, forced to stay alive for those who know ranboo, forced to be happy, forced to meet up with so many people they didn't want to no.

It's tiring atleast ranboo had a day or so to prepare even though it's tomorrow.

_______

Bad: are you alright?

Yeah slightly

Bad: do you feel forced to go?

Can you just pick me up?

Bad: sure

Monday 5:45 am

ranboo takes in a deep breath ranboo got up extremely early 3:21 am so now ranboo was getting ready braiding their hair and choosing an outfit but first makeup the tears burnt them as a ghast ender hybrid tears don't go well with the skin.

Picking out an outfit was hell. But in the end went with black leggings and dark grey top with a black corset belt and boot's pretty plain if you ask ranboo. Finally done changing ranboo went downstairs to cook, or get a quick breakfast either one will do. It was still dark outside ranboo flops onto the sofa one question going through their mind, did they want to even go? The Answer was obvious to ranboo, no, but ranboo agreed and would most likely be forced to go anyway. Ranboo searched around the room to find something to distract them they’ve recently ran out of cigarettes they had started to smoke more and more often when they accidentally ended up in a group chat these people drove them insane, why couldn’t ranboo have work today? I mean ranboo’s shift would end before the meet up but still the point stands. Nothing. Nope, nothing. Nothing in the room could distract ranboo from this thought of this meeting up thing.

it all felt bizarre as if this has happened before, doesn't matter though as the quietness of ranboos house both ate ranboo alive and gave ranboo a form of relief hard to explain.

6:05 am

Bad was driving to were the meeting spot was, to him ranboo was acting off, more off then usual there face was blank void of emotions maybe they were tired? Yeah that’s totally what it was but bad knew better then that oh it’s so much more then that. But bad didn’t push

~~(maybe he should’ve)~~

the two make infront of a house a big group of people talking in the front garden bad smiled walking foward as Ranboo followed spotting a familiar group and more unfamiliar groups but thats fine Ranboo can get a better social life this way.

Chapter 6: Happy times

Notes:

This is supposed to be short sorry ^^
And it’s supposed be like more of a memory

Chapter Text

it went amazingly everyone, or atleast most, were nice people they introduced ranboo to knew things surrounded ranboo with questions that soon stopped made ranboo laugh smile feel alive for once they felt distant though but more close to life then death that day oh how ranboo wishes that could life, but ranboo knew it’ll end one day but it’s a start of a brand new journey of happiness and friendship.

Ranboo experience things ranboo has never felt before, ever, oh sweet things they talked for hours with the others scared them shitless with their ghost stories, watched movies, talked about their life, who and what they are or were they were glad they came and didn’t find away out of it. They day and night was filled with joy, a simple emotional ranboo was unable to feel 90% of the time, but for once could feel joy.

they had a picnic they chatted to one another spilled gossip and all they watched horror comedies sappy shows non that grabbed ranboos interests they baked a thing Ranboo didn’t mind art reading ranboo talked about their jobs to someone. Kristen was that her name? Oh well!

Ranboos one goal that night was to make tommy tubbo and whoever cry from a story so they played a game, who can make the saddest story. Ranboo won, quackity came second, bad came third so on so forth.
sally braided ranboo’s hair

niki baked with ranboo

tommy + tubbo played games with ranboo

kristen phil ect tried to act like a parental figure just didn’t work but it was funny

quackity taught him spanish

all memorable things.
it was a memorable day, week, month 7 months of happiness and friendship

theu all partied talked to one another were nice

Chapter 7: The end

Notes:

The "major character death" comes in
And suicide reference to self-harm

Chapter Text

11:45 pm

Rain was pouring down, perfect day for ranboo and to explain how ranboo felt staring at the phone.

The night light shined into the windows of ranboos house all those memories, will be left in a book, ranboo left out a quite breathe chuckle as ranboos phone's light illuminated ranboos face up. Staring at the contacts that laid untouched for awhile.

The group chat "moonlight" was abounded only ranboo left there apparently they have another one as bad said to make sureranboo clicks on bads contact to re-read the last conversation they had.

__________

Monday 7:22 am *****

Bad: hey just to let you know that we created another gc

Oh! OK thx for letting me know ^^👍

__________

After that bad never texted ranboo after that nor responded (same thing)

___________

3:45 pm

hey are you able to pick me up?

Bad?

Hello? Sorry am I bothering you?

__________

Ranboo took a breath bad (at that time) had seemed more distant less texting, talking not like that wasn't fine, then he made excuses to leave earlier then that text -after not texting/answering ranboo texts for 2 months like the rest- came through at that point their friendship crumbled. Now it’s been 7 months with no contact and in truth ranboo has tried but with no one there it was hard ranboo has tried a therapist; doctors, physicians who ever is there to help. None worked.

Ranboo plays with their hair, ranboo was supposed to cut it after meeting tommy and tubbo…ranboo never did now it went beyond ranboos knees. Humming a tune ranboo looked around, before looking at the contacts ranboo wanted to send one last message to someone who’ll pass it on, it could be bad, no no.

in the end ranboo clicked on tommys contact they haven’t talked much and when they have -as of recently- tommy never cares to check the message.

Tommyinnit

2:02 am

hey i know it’s been awhile since we’ve talkedi just want to say I’m sorry

I’m sorry i never told you sooner, i care for you be safe i know you won’t

bother reading this and like last time you said “text me again I’ll block you”

but I truly am sorry I’ve meaning to say that i suffer from a mild-deadly disease

most common in rare hybrids I’m one the lucky ones who got to have it mild but

i still suffer greatly from it though I’ve got treatment it’s getting better but my

mental health has deteriorated from the last I’ve tried to get help with doctors

therapist who ever else but none have worked. I’m sorry :( I’ve tried to

hang on I mean it, but it’s to late my times up maybe if there’s an

afterlife I’ll see you? A hopeful/wishfull yet selfish thought

goodbye

ps. Pls if you do read this semd or inform the others about this.

ranboo clicked “send” a small smile on there face, they quit their job stopped babysitting now here ranboo is on their bed blood spilling out empty container of pills and water spilling. Though they look much worse blood flowed out of brand new cuts tired eyes ranboo, leaning their head back looks out of the window near by oh the moonlight was always so pretty wasn’t it? Ranboos skin paled or cracked theor body shaky life left ranboo’s eyes every second that went by scars littered their body plus the burns too blood staining the bed making an attempt to get landed with ranboo falling then darkness only with the moonlight to guide their way ~~home~~

tommys pov (3rd person)

3:50 am

tommy wakes up early in the morning groggy and moody obviously since it’s 3:50 am but he heard his phone go off not like that’s a biggy no it was that his guts told him if he didn’t check he would regret it now it told him it was too late were these voices? Sitting up tommy snatches his phone from his bedside opening it

one new message from ranboo!

tommy sighs didn’t this fucker read the last message blocking ranboo? But apart of him was happy! Happy to hear from a good ~~friend~~ to see how ranboo was as it felt like a burden of guilt to tommy to ignore ranboo but felt relieved when ranboo texted but now…

opening the message tommy went straight to block but ”accidentally” skimmed over the text in question tommys heart dropped.

ranboo
