¨haha, nice! Well..see in a month or two Ranboo..¨
And that was the last that Ranboo heard from Tubbo...Tubbo? Before he went to do nuclear testing, about a month ago. Ranboo was torn from his thoughts by his son, Micheal, asks him
¨Where's papa?¨
Ranboos eyes widen as he realizes,
¨I'm...not sure Micheal...¨
The Ender hybrid quickly pulls out his memory book and scrambles through it, looking for hints on who this Tubbo person was.
When he couldn't find anything in his book aside from ´Tubee´, ´husband :]]´ and ´moobloom!´ He decides to look around the house, finding a few family portraits of him, Micheal, and this other person with hair covering his eyes, a huge burn scar, and Moobloom-like features...that ´Tubbo´ person, Ranboo guessed.
A few weeks later, while Ranboo is playing with Micheal, he hears the door creak open. Ranboo puts Micheal in his room, blocking the door. He then grabs his axe, an enchanted netherite axe, accented with diamond with a fake ender eye in the middle of the blade.
Ranboo crept towards the living room with otherworldly stealth, and called out, ¨Whos there! I...I have an axe?¨ He trailed off nervously, curling his tail around himself, hoping to avoid any confrontation.
¨Boo! It's just me, I'm back from the testing, remember!¨ The stranger called out lightheartedly, as they stepped into view.
¨...Who are you?¨ Ranboo asked. The persons face dropped, ¨Ranboo! Remember me? Tubbo? We're married, remember?¨ ´Tubbo´ questioned. Ranboos eyes widen as he starts remembering bits and pieces of his husband.
¨Shoot...how did I...forget?.......I forgot Tubbo of all people...¨ Ranboo mumbled to himself. His face had begun stinging as he scribbled all the details he could remember about the Brunet. His vision was clouded by glowing purple particles as his writing shifted to ender.
Ranboos vision was almost completely obscured by the particles when he felt arms wrap around his waist, Ranboos vision quickly cleared as he was snapped out of his panicked haze. He realized Tubbo had clung onto him and was rubbing his back, a gesture only Tubbo and the syndicate knew to comfort him.
¨Ïts okay Boo, your okay, wanna go see Micheal?¨ Tubbo asked quietly, making sure Ranboo was calmed down.
¨...Yeah,yeah let's go see Micheal¨
Ranboo replied quietly, realizing his face was wet with tears...oh, so that's why his face was burning.
The two husbands walked to Micheals bedroom, Ranboo unblocking and opening the door.
¨Micheal, Micheal, Micheal!¨ Ranboo and Tubbo chanted as they walked towards their child.
They played with Micheal, fed him, and put him down for the night. As Ranboo and Tubbo walk to their room and get ready for bed, Ranboo speaks up,
¨So, how was the nuclear testing?¨
¨Ít was ok, really loud though, got pretty uncomfortable when the nuke exploded on that island, what with the explosion, it reminded me of L´manburg and the fireworks ya know?¨ Tubbo answered.
¨Oh yeah, another thing, for some reason Tommy and Niki were there, and Jack looked annoyed at Niki, and they both looked mad at Tommy, it looked like Niki had been leading Tommy to where the blast zone was...it was kinda strange.¨ Tubbo added
¨Huh..that's weird...we should investigate tomorrow, don't you think?¨ Ranboo planned. ¨Yeah..but im tired, lets go to bed.¨ Tubbo complained, dragging out the ´e´
¨Ok bee boy¨ Ranboo laughed, settling down for bed, happy about Tubbo being back, having missed the warm cuddles.
The day had been strange, Ranboo reflected, but he was happy how it ended...
