"You won't. Everything's already messy. No way you mess anything else up." Wilbur told me.

I shrugged, "Sure, but still. I don't want to talk to him and he gets hurt...or feels something."

"Maybe he, needs, to feel something." Wilbur shrugged back.

I thought about it then opened my phone again and this time, I clicked call on the contact name. I held my breath as it began to ring.

Ranboo POV

I was on my computer playing some horror game. It was both scary and funny. I was laughing till I heard my phone ring.

I got up and went to grab it off the nightstand. I picked it up and checked the caller ID, "Toms🔓💍"

My eyes widened, Those are some weird emojis. And who the heck is Toms? What the heck is wrong with my phone...

I answered, "Uh- Hello?"

"Ranboo..." I heard a mumble.

"Yeah. Who's this? It says, 'Toms'." I asked waiting for an answer.

The other person went silent for a little then answered, "I- It'sTommy! Me, Tommy!"

I furrowed my brows, "Tommyinnit?"

"Yeah! That's me." He laughed.

Technically, I wasn't aloud to talk to my friends till after the week recovery. My mom told me it's what the doctors suggested. But I mean- It was only Tommy. And it'd been basically forever since I'd spoken to someone other than my mom.

I smiled a little, "What the heck happened to your contact name?"

"Oh- Wh- What was it before?" He asked.

"I could've sworn it was just Tommy, with the water gun emoji." I held back my laughter.

He scoffed, "What the hell man?! Why so violent?"

"I dunno- You're sorta, a pain." I answered.

He hummed, "Hm, well- What is it now?"

"Toms, with a....uh- I didn't do it. Don't get any ideas. Cause I seriously have no idea how it got changed. But its th- the diamond ring," I blushed lightly, "and an opened lock. Which I don't quite understand."

"Diamond ring?" I could practically hear his stupid, silly smirk.

"Y- Yeah, I dunno." I awkwardly laughed.

He laughed, "That's funny."

"Right....so, what's up?" I asked looking to my computer, I groaned, "I was in the middle of the game, and I died for this call."

"Oh! Sorry!" He said.

I raised a brow, "Sorry?- That's unlike you."

"Uh- S- Yeah, I- Just, uhm- What're you- uh- doing?!" He stuttered which was also incredibly unusual for him.

"I just told you."

"Right!...Right....." He went quiet.

"Is something wrong? You seem...different. Weirder than usual." I said.

"I was just gonna say that uh- It was too bad you couldn't make it over here."

"Oh...yeah. I really can't wait to meet the two of you. It'll be fun." I smiled though he couldn't see me.

I could hear his smile, "Yeah! Wh- When you get here we can go to the mall, maybe shop together! Go to an arcade, share a room, shop for clothes together, go to the fair, watch the fireworks-"

I groaned, my head hurt as he went on about things we could do when I got there.

"You okay?" He asked seeming worried.

I took a deep breath, "Yeah....Sorry, my head kinda hurts. I dunno what it is- Probably just, tired."

"Yeah..." He agreed.

"Anyways- that sounds cool. We can do all that when I get over there. But, why the sudden urge to call and be so friendly?" I asked a little suspicious.

"You got a concussion, and missed the chance to meet...It was disappointing. So, I'm just- Excited, I suppose." He answered.

I nodded, "Cool."

"Mhm." He hummed.

We stayed silent for a while. Then he spoke again, "Maybe we could share ice cream."

I smiled, "You and I?- Share?"

He laughed softly, "It's just a thought..."

"Sounds fun. I can't imagine, though." I laughed.

"I can." He mumbled. I froze as he spoke, "You'd insist on buying, because you're incredibly kind. We'd take a picture of us both licking the ice cream cone, then I'd keep it to myself for a bit. Until you asked and I'd shove it to your face. Getting it all over your nose you'd become flustered. I'd laugh and run away. You'd chase me, then pick me up and twirl me around..."

My wrist hurt a little. Probably the rash. I took the bracelet off and set it on my night stand as the call went silent.

"That's very...descriptive." I muttered.

He awkwardly laughed, "Is it?"

"Yeah. Almost like you've imagined it." I held in a laugh.

"Maybe I have..."

I went pink, flustered, "Oh."

"Anyways, I'll leave you to your game then. Later Ran." He said probably ready to hang up.

"Ran?" I asked.

"Uh- It's a p- nickname...Is that okay?"

I flushed bright pink, "Yeah."

"Cool. Later."

"Bye Tommy." I smiled softly to myself.

He hung up and I pocketed my phone then went back to my desk. My head sorta hurt though, so I turned off my PC then went to shower. Maybe it would help.
