Tommy POV
After school, Karl took us to the new house. It was massive. "Wilbur!!" I cried, running into him once I saw him. I gave him a massive hug, he did also.
"I haven't seen you in so long!" I smiled into his chest.
"I'm sorry," Wilbur spoke.
"For what?"
"For not protecting you, I wish I did.. Did you sort it out?" He asked.
"Mhm. Ranboo helped me." I said, he gave me a little saddened look and then a small smile.
"I'm glad, anyway. Let's show you around the place."
Techno, Wilbur, Karl, and I all walked around the massive mansion-like house, Techno explained how they knew it. "This was our old house before we moved to London." Techno said.
"Why did you guys move?" I questioned as we walked into the room I'd stay in.
"Uhm.. Our mother passed away, so Phil made us move." Wilbur rubbed his arm, obviously upset.
"Oh.. I-i'm sorry." I didn't really know how to sympathize, I never had a mom.
"It's fine, I'm over it now, there's no time to be stuck in the past." Techno groaned
It felt off that he was over it, I'm still not over Dad.. No. Phil. I'm not over Phil-
"Do you remember your parents, Tommy?" Wil asked. I shook my head and unpacked my bags.
"Phil??" I dont.
"Tommy you stay here and set up, We'll take Karl," Techno said, grabbing Karl's arm.
"I'll help Tommy." Wilbur rejected.
"Alright." Techno walked out. His voice gave that 'Whatever' tone like he wanted Wilbur to come. Weird.
"Tommy, Do you really wanna stay here?" Wilbur spoke up.
I tilted my head back, "Of course! One, I want to see you and Techno. Two. That other house just reminds me too much of Quackity. I really fucking miss him." I sighed. Wilbur walked over to me and hugged me tightly,
"I miss him too." He lamented, Quackity was in such a terrible place and I didn't even notice. It's my fault, I left and Sapnap he just.. I wish I could do many things differently. Like never cutting myself, to begin with. Never joining that call. Never. Never ever telling K-
"Look.. Let's just set this place up and not think about it. I don't want to." I dismissed the thought.
"Tommy, are you alright? how have you been the past week?" Wilbur asked genuinely.
I perked my head up from my bag and looked at him, "Uhm.. I've been fine. I haven't done anything bad, the only thing I can really think of is if I hurt Ranboo or not. I think he got in a fight with Purpled for me." I rambled, Wilbur snapped back his head at me.
"Did you text him or talk to him?!" He exclaimed.
"Ye-Yeah!! Stop yelling- I. I did here," I handed him our messages.

Ranboo: im ok i just got really panicked! please don't worry
"You were really worried huh? What happened?" He finished reading.
I nodded, "He was really panicky and then ran off.. He went home early."
"Have you talked to him since?!"
"Uhm.. No.." I mumbled, I fucked up..
"Call him, now." Wilbur looked down at me, an angry tone struck his voice.
"O-ok..." I snarked, mad that I was being told what to do. I pressed the call button and he answered immediately.
"Ranboo!"
"Tommy!" Ranboo stared into the phone, happy to see me.
"Are you alright?" Wilbur asked.
"Oh! Hi, Wilbur! I'm alright, yeah. How is the new house, Tommy?" Ranboo answered.
"Giant! I think I'm really gonna like it here! I'll finally be better." I grinned, Wilbur smiled along with me.
"I'd love to hang out sometime! I'm so glad you are doing alright." Ranboo smiled widely at me, his black and white hair blowing from the fan.
"Thanks! Sure. I'm just glad you're ok, did Purpled hurt you?"
He put the camera to his hair so I couldn't see his expression, He tried saying something but it was just an awkward mumble.
"Ranboo?" I lamented. He nodded, gulping. Wilbur put a hand on my shoulder.
"Ranboo. What happened." Wilbur asked sternly, Ranboo seemed to jump at his angered voice. I would too if I were him, Wil is scary.
Ranboo looked like he was shaking a little and wiping his face. "Ran? Hey hey, it's alright you don't need to tell us!" I reassured him. He nodded rapidly, letting out his sniffles and sobs. I jabbed Wilbur in the chest with my elbow, pissed off he made him nervous.
"It- It's fine.. Don't be upset and Wilbur." He choked, I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Fine. I'll let it pass this time Wil." I pouted, making a hmph noise. Ranboo laughed a little.
"Are you ever going to tell me?" I frowned. I feel like I already knew what happened.. Why was he hiding it?
"Yeah! I will don't worry."
Why does it seem he doesn't care about me whatsoever? Like his main priority is me most of the time. I want him to care about himself.
"Di-did you clean up your nose?" I asked nervously.
"No- Sorry I will right now.." He must have completely forgotten about the massive bruise on it. There's no way it was a locker.
"It's fine you don't need to apologize." I smiled, He looked surprised.
"Thank you! Anyways, I'm gonna go. I gotta eat dinner." He looked to the side, I nodded.
"Byeee!!" Wilbur and I spoke in unison, Ranboo hung up instantly.
Something is off.. I just don't know what.
"Is he always like that?" Wilbur stood tall over me.
I gulped, "No..." I looked down at my phone.
"Check on him tonight for me, make sure he is completely fine. He seemed to really panic from that Purpled situation." Wilbur had already finished setting up my room that whole time.
"Ok.. Night Wil." I looked at my clock, It was 11 pm. Who the hell has dinner at that time?
Something isn't right.
I know something isn't right.
Was it me?
I have a gut feeling something else happened...
No no don't overthink
Don't overthink.
Trust your gut.
