It was almost time. I was sitting in Wilbur's office, tapping my leg impatiently. Tommy was with me, screwing with Techno.
"Tommy and Tubbo Minecraft please report the the main office." I shuddered at the old, electronic voice.
'Shit, shit, shit!'
Tommy and I shared glances.
Wilbur saluted, opening the door for the two of us. "Have fun~" Wilbur smiled.
"Don't die." Techno said.
We both made our ways to the elevator, except no one clicked the '8' button.
"You do it."
"No, you do it."
"Just click the button."
"You click the fucking button."
"No!"
"Fuck you!"
"Fuck you!"
Tommy flicked me off and I clicked the button. It illuminated, and was the longest five seconds of my life.
The door opened and I hesitantly walked out first, Tommy curiously behind me.
We saw Phil standing, and there he was in front of him.
Extremely tall, brown (?) haired dude, with shades on top of his fluffy brunette locks. He had a black and white face mask on with black ripped jeans, long black boots, and a purple shirt with a black jacket over it. He had bluish grey eyes that were extremely pretty, I must add.
"Tommy, Tubbo, meet Ranboo. Ranboo, meet Tommy and Tubbo." He let go of his hand on Ranboo's shoulder. Ranboo walked over to Tommy and stuck his hand out, which Tommy hesitantly accepted.
"Im Ranboo."
"Tommy."
He then went over to me and stuck out his hand the same way. "Ranboo." "Tubbo." I said with more enthusiasm than Tommy. His hand was mostly covered with his fingerless gloves, and it was soft when we shook hands.
"You three will be working together. You can start tomorrow, so use this time to get to know each other. I expect you all to be nice to each other." Phil made the last part directly to Tommy.
"Can we go and see Tech and Wil?" I asked.
"Sure, but sure you thee get some three-on-three time to." Phil said.
"Then come on!" I said, waving us all towards the elevator. Ranboo followed quickly, but Tommy stayed in Phil's office a few more seconds to pout before following us.
I clicked the '7' button and we all stood silently in the elevator, the only noise being the 1980 elevator music.
It chimed and we all stepped out, Ranboo moving off to the side, waiting for us to make the first move. I walked over to the door, opening it for the tallers behind me. Tommy walked in, followed by Ranboo.
Techno and Wilbur looked up at us.
"Wil, Tech. Meet Ranboo." I said, motioning to the taller. He waved, and Techno waved back, quickly going back to his work.
Wilbur, who always has time to make impressions, stood up and walked over to Ranboo, who was surprisingly an inch taller than Wilbur.
"Are you sure you guys are the same age?" Wilbur said, making fun of the height difference between me and Ranboo.
"Ha-ha. Very funny wilbitch." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Wilbur." The slightly shorter brunette said shaking Ranboo's hand. (Probs not true but in this story TNT is 6'6 and Oreo is 6'7)
"I'm Tubbo and Tommy's older brother." Wilbir stated. "And the pink haired guy who is to rude to introduce himself is Techno. He's older than me but only by a minute."
"A minute and a half." Techno said. Wilbur put his middle finger out, which even though he wasn't looking at Wilbur, did it back. "Best minute and a half of my life." Techno grumbled.
"Anyway, have you seen the full office yet? Have the boys showed you were you're going to be working?" Wilbur asked.
"No, and no." Ranboo replied.
"Well hop to it boys!" Wilbur exclaimed. "Hey, I'll see you all later on break okay?" Wilbur said.
Tommy and I nodded and back to the elevator we were.
This time, Tommy clicked '6' and we were on and off in a few seconds.
"This is floor six. The floor with the break room and your new office." I said.
We made our way to our office and I swung open the door.
"Welcome home." I said.
"Tommy's desk is the left and mines the right." I pointed out.
Both desks had.. personality really.
Tommy's had paper all over his desk, few crumpled on the floor. A few emptied cans of Coke littered his desk. He had a few pens and pencils in a cup near the corner.
Mine on the other hand had what I would describe a neat mess. There were also papers scattered, but in a scattered pile. There was about five times more paper on the floor than Tommy's and about twenty plastic cups liquid-less.
It's the stress, okay?
"Is it me or did I just realize how messy this place is?" Tommy said, pointing a lazy finger at both of our desks. I hummed, "yeah.."
"Anyway, this is where you'll be working.. hooray." I waved my hands, fake-enthusiasm.
He chuckled, sort of awkwardly.
"Phil's getting a desk in here for you, but since it's not here yet.. you can use the chair in front of my desk." I said, putting my hands on my hips.
He nodded and threw the satchel I just found out he had on to the chair.
"Niki and Jack also work on this floor." I said pointing to the door.
"Speaking of, where are they?" I asked.
"Niki's finishing her case and Jack is who knows where." Tommy said, messing with the tooth pick in his mouth.
I hummed. "Welp I'm not super excited to go down every elevator, so! You'll meet the others whenever by coincidence. For now.." I trailed off thinking.
"Well.. I'm going of to Wil and Tech so.." Tommy said, before darting out of the room.
"Wait Tommy you can't just- and h-he's gone." I tapped my foot, pissed.
Ranboo chuckled and I smirked.
He gave me a smile that you could see with his eyes (since you can't see his face) before sitting down on the chair in front of my desk. I sat down on my office chair and grabbed a pen. I spun in it, bored, while tapping the pen on and off.
He grabbed out a leather book and a pen and began scribbling in it before putting it back in his satchel.
"So anything I should know before we start work?" Ranboo asked.
"Uhm well.. we pretty much work as a 'family' here, which is what I know every work place says, but where all good friends or literally biologically close here. So you can pretty much guess how fucked up it gets around here."
He nodded.
"Uh, my parter Tommy is probably going to hold a grudge on you just for being American." I stated. He raised his eyebrow, confused, but still nodded.
"He's also a dick. And pretty annoying. But when you get to know him he's actually really nice to hang around. Don't let his 'oh I'm a big guy' facade fool or get to you. He's a reeaal softie. He also gives pretty good relationship advice for a single person."
Ranboo hummed, laughing a bit.
"And what do I need to know about you?" He asked, slightly tilting his head.
"Oh.. well.. I can't really tell you that."
"Why not?"
"I dunno. I don't really think it's fair to tell you shit about me. What if I lie to you? You'll never know." I said, closing my eyes and crossing my arms.
"Well, I can tell you what I'm getting from your vibe." Ranboo said.
I opened one of my eyes, curious. "And what is that Mr. Boo?" I asked.
"Well, based on your desk and the bags under your eyes.." He trailed. He didn't need it finish his sentence.
"I just slipped, okay? No big deal." I grumbled.
Ranboo's gray eyes softened.
"Are you really doing alright?" He asked, almost a whisper.
The silence after that felt like a gun shot.
"Yeah, I just- I don't know anymore." I said, shoving my head into my hands, groaning.
"It shouldn't have affected me so bad- and-and it did and now- I fucking can't think properly anymore and everything is a struggle! And- and everything hurts, I just-"
I sighed, wanting to yell my lungs out, but stopped myself.
Ranboo was looking at me with the most kindest eyes, like he could understand everything. Like he was listening.
He grabbed my hand which was placed on one of the papers on the table, making it fall out of my grasp.
"Hey, listen to me." I looked up at him, tears stinging my eyes.
"Whatever happened. You can get over. Shit like this happens all the time in life, to everybody. You can't let that take you down, okay?"
I nodded, resting my head on a book on the desk. He rubbed my hand with his thumb before lightly putting it back down. I brought both of my hands to cross over my head on the desk, hiding my face.
"Im sorry I broke down in front of you- gee what a way to make an impression Tubbo." I grumbled.
"Hey it's okay. Im here to help okay?"
"You sound like a therapist." I picked my head up, joking.
"Well I'm the whole package." Ranboo said, holding his head up proudly.
"Whatever."
