Tubbo POV:
'He was finally here-' "Tubbo?"
I let go and looked up confused, since when did his voice have an echo?- And for once he isn't wearing a suit. He started to turn around and I could feel the temperature in the room drop, his eyes leaking liquid, a jagged scar on his torso. "R.. Ranboo?" I said, I could feel the tears flowing down my cheeks. "H-How?" I managed to choke out, "Sam killed me!" he said with a smile. It's like he didn't care, I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around to see Manifold behind me with Michael in his arms. I hugged them both, I felt like I was in shock. This must be a bad dream right?- this must be.. just.. a.. bad dream...
Jack Manifold POV:
Tubbo was hugging me and Michael, I could hear him mumbling about a bad dream or something when I suddenly felt a heavy wait. "Whoa!-" I nearly fell backwards, Aizawa had caught my from falling. "He's blacked out." Aizawa said, seemingly no emotion from him. Recovery Girl took Tubbo and placed him on one of the beds.
I looked back at Ranboo, who seemed confused. "Ranboo?" seemed to snap him out of it, he turned to me "Yeah Jack,"
"What happened to you?" I said, how did he lose all 3 lives in such a short time? "Sam killed me, I thought I said that already,-" he said confused. "I know, but you still had 2 lives left." I said, "Oh right, yeah I don't exactly know or remember how I lost the other 2-" I almost smiled at that, typical of Ranboo to forget. Suddenly I felt Michael squirm in my arms, I put him down. He ran to Ranboo and started tugging at his trousers, Ranboo after staring for a few seconds picked him out. "Hello Michael" he said and he smiled. But this smile felt different, almost like this one.. was real.
30 Minutes Later...
Third Person POV:
Tubbo had woken up, he looked at Michael and Ghostboo playing together. He seemed lost, he was really actually hoping this was some bad dream. He walked out and back to his dorm without saying a word, he felt angry. Uncontrollable anger, why did this have to happen to his family?! why not somebody else!
He walked into his dorm slamming the door shut, a visible crack on the door. A few hours later the whole class had arrived and was sitting in the living room, Aizawa and Manifold had told them the situation. The class seemed like normal, but a wave of sadness loomed over them. They felt bad for Tubbo, he seemed to be taking this worse than anyone else. The class was just starting to go up to the dorms when a shattering noise was heard, Iida immediately rushed up. He went to Tubbo's room, sinds he was the only one up here.
Iida POV:
I ran up the stairs the second I heard the shattering, going to Tubbo door, which suddenly had a crack on it and tried the lock. The door is locked. "Tubbo?!" I yelled, silence. The rest of the class had arrived by now but I asked them to back up, "Midoriya! Break the door!" I yelled to him. I saw him jump but he quickly composed himself and punched the door down using his quirk, he door was in pieces.
I walked in with Midoriya by my side and looked around, it took me a few seconds before seeing Tubbo on the floor against the wall. The mirror next to him was completely shattered, blood was dripping from the broken mirror and Tubbo's hand. "Tubbo!" I nearly jumped at Midoriya yelling as he raced to Tubbo's side, quickly grabbing a towel from Tubbo's desk and putting it on his hand carefully.
Other students had started to peek inside, some scared, others curious. I looked back at Tubbo, he was conscious. But just staring into nothing, looking a mix of anger and denial. "Tubbo?" I said, no response. After a few minutes I told everyone else to leave except me and Midoriya. Eventually everyone did, with some hesitation. Midoriya tried to help Tubbo up but he refused and stayed on the floor, he also seemed angrier the longer we were here.
10 Minutes Later...
Manifold POV:
I finally got to the dorms, Michael asleep in my arms and Ran- Ghostboo following me. Ghostboo was decided to stay with us in the dorm, which was starting to get slightly cramped by now- But we can't really complain. I walked down the hallway and saw a piece of a door on the hallway floor, oh god- That's Tubbo's room. I started walking quicker with a confused Ghost following me and when we got the we could see pieces of a mirror everywhere, Iida and Midoriya there as well. Then I saw Tubbo, a piece of cloth on his hand and he had a firm scowl on his face. I pushed the two aside and sat next to Tubbo with Ghostboo standing behind Iida and Midoriya.
"Hey Tubbo, what's happened man?" I said, he looked at me with an angry expression before softening and leaning against me. He seemed emotionally and mentally exhausted, I looked back at the two who now both had a shocked expression of their faces. "I got this, you fellows can go." I said, the nodded wordlessly and left us.
Tubbo just kept looking at the floor, making sure not to look at Ghostboo. "What if I was there? Could it have been different?" He said, "I could've saved him.."
I look at him with a sad expression, "You couldn't have changed anything Tubbo, and don't think about the past. This isn't your fault." He leaned against me more, "But maybe-" "No." I sighed, "You couldn't have changed anything, and thinking about the past will only make it worse." I said, he sighed and I could see the tears forming in his eyes. I opened my free arm and Tubbo immediately accepted and hugged me, careful not to wake Michael.
After a bit he full on started crying, I held him close and after 30 minutes he fell asleep. I sighed, exhausted and got Ghostboo to put Tubbo in bed. I layed Michael next to him and sat down on my own bed, Ghostboo told me he didn't need sleep. So he stayed at the foot of Tubbo's bed, looking a bit worried.
Third Person POV:
For the next few days, Tubbo was allowed to stay in his dorm. Manifold was taking care of him while Ghostboo did some bonding time with Michael, Michael had become extremely clingy to his papa.
Tubbo stopped caring for himself for most of it, wouldn't eat, drink or even get out of bed. Manifold had to practically force him to do everything, which got everyone continuously worried. Ghostboo even started to get worried, and was not afraid to show it. He would try to keep his distance from Tubbo because he didn't want to cause further pain, but the pain only seemed to worsen. So Ghostboo decided today was the day he was gonna talk to Tubbo.
Tubbo laying down, staring at the wall in-front of him. Not moving, he seemed deep in thought.
Tubbo POV:
I was shaken out of my thoughts, I didn't bother looking. "Manifold I'm not hungry." I said, annoyed. "Last time I check, my name isn't 'Manifold' Tubbo." I heard someone giggling, I jolted up against the headboard. Ranboo seemed to stare at me for a bit before speaking, "I'm sorry, I know you miss him. But I'm not him, I'm only a part of him." He said, I looked down at my hands. I didn't want him to be gone..
I could feel the tears start to flow again, "Stop dammit-" I said. Ranboo got closer and hugged me, "I'm sorry.." he said. But it wasn't his fault, it's all Sam's fault. He should've known better to mess with me, when I get back I'll make him suffer.
I felt him hug me tighter, guess he really felt bad. After a few minutes he let go and looked at me. A sad smile on his face as he spoke.
"My name is Ghostboo, I may not fully be your husband. But I'll still care for you like he did."
I hugged him, this might not be him. But at least something of him remains, but I will miss him for as long as I exist. I can finally accept he's gone, even if I don't want to.
