I Didn't Know • Tomboo •

• Chapter 31 •

I cleared my throat, "Uh- Tommy, I think you're rushing this..."

He pulled away, "You don't like it?"

I shook my head, "No it's not that- I just think this is happening only because you wanna make sure I'm stable- And not actually because you want to do it...."

He retracted his hands, "Oh...Sorry."

I cleared my throat, "So....Wanna talk about labels?" I smiled excited, "I was thinking that since we like each other...And we just made out-" I laughed softly then smiled, "I was thinking you'd be my boyfriend."

Tommy's facial expressions went blank. He awkwardly laughed, "Funny..."

I raised a brow, "Hm?"

"I'm straight." Tommy laughed.

I felt the sharp pain in my wrist, "...Tommy you just- We just kissed."

He panicked and got off of me. He gulped, "I- I can't be your boyfriend. I- I'm straight. I- I just- That was- I'm sorry. I- I dunno who- who I am...I-"

I hugged him to my chest, "Don't worry baby. It's okay."

Tommy POV

The way he comforted me...The way he never tried pushing me into anything....It's honestly admirable. And, that's something I love about him.

So if he's not gonna push me- I have to push myself.

Accept yourself. You are, who you are. An incredible individual. Just be you.

Ranboo POV

He cried softly, "I'll be your boyfriend..."

I got butterflies, "What?"

"I'll be your boyfriend." He mumbled into my chest.

My heart basically exploded. I kissed his head, "I love you baby."

"Secret boyfriends. No one but us can know..." He said strictly, as he pulled away from me.

I nodded, "Sure."

"Thanks.....babe." He turned red.

I laughed, "Cute."

He rolled his eyes and then I sighed, "I love you so very much baby."

"I- Babe, I-" He took a deep breath, "I can't- I can't say that...just yet....."

I nodded, "No worries, that's fine."

He nodded and then got off me, "I'm gonna let Bill see you, before your guys' mark is gone for good."

I nodded and sat up, "Okay, come kiss me before that."

He kissed me and I kissed back savoring it. When we pulled away I sighed, "I love you."

"Ran...Don't say it so much." He blushed embarrassed.

I blushed a little embarrassed too, "R- Right."

He went and got Bill. Billzo walked in and came over to sit in the chair beside me. He sighed, "It was nice....Getting to love you."

I awkwardly smiled, "...yeah....."

Tommy cleared his throat, "Careful."

How cute, he's jealous.

Bill rolled his eyes, "Right well, I'm happy for you. Thanks for being a friend."

I nodded, "Yeah, and to you."

We hugged and then Bill just sat in the chair as the mark slowly faded.

Tommy walked over and whispered in my ear, "I'm gonna go talk to the others, and the doctor. Be good."

"What makes you think I'll be bad?" I asked at a whisper too.

"Just be good." He kissed my ear and then walked off.

I sighed and felt the warmth in my left wrist as he walked out.

Tommy POV

I walked out and past the others. Then I went over to the desk and asked to speak with the doctor.

I waited a couple minutes, and then he finally came over to talk with me, "Something wrong?"

"What do I need to do....To get him out of this hospital safely? To make sure he lives." I asked ready for anything.

He sighed, "Look kid, I know you're obviously having trouble with you're relationship and sexuality, or what not- But to 'fix' this, there's only two ways."

"Okay, go. Tell me." I said needing to know.

"You need to let the soulmate mark fade, so that he-" He began and I stopped him right away.

"No. Absolutely not, second one?" I asked.

He looked me straight in the eyes and told me, "Admit to yourself that you like guys. And that you're inlove with that one. Come to terms with yourself first, then love him."

I gulped and nodded, "Oh."

The doctor sighed, "I take it you bunch will be here a while. So..."

I walked back over to everyone, knowing what I had to do.

Ranboo POV 

I guess everyone was leaving now- And by everyone, I meant Freddie and Aimey. They said goodbye and then left. Tubbo was waiting outside, Bill sat in the chair asleep and I was waiting for Tommy.

Finally, Tommy walked in seeming focused. I smiled, "Hi babe."

He blushed lightly, "Hi." He walked over and layed me down. He tugged the blanket over me and kissed my head, "Bed time, babe."

I loved when he called me the pet name, "Okay, you going to sleep too?"

"Yes, love." He kissed my nose, "Now rest."

I got comfy and then he hugged me tightly, "My Ranboo, I love you more than life itself. Sleep well, okay?"

"You love me...?" I asked.

"Don't question it." He muttered and kissed my lips, "Just close your eyes...and dream."

I closed my eyes and hummed, "I love you."

He kissed my lips gently again then whispered, "Goodnight my love."

Then I heard a faint, "Always remember."
