TINY BELOVED AU:D i love that name! Now angst abt feeling helpless bc i cant sleep and hurt/comfort is all ik. Tw for panic attack and hopelessness cuz i dont want anyone to be caught off guard:)
When they arrived at Tubbo’s home he ralized quickly that there was no easy way for him to use the restroom, and for the first few days until Tubbo’s dad hurriedly finds a tutorial online about installing tiny sized bathroom appliances, they drive Ranboo to the nearest public tiny restroom and he showers in Tubbo’s sink. Its incredibly embarassing and Ranboo feels like a burden the size of Alaska thats really the size of an unsharpened pencil. Theres so many things that have to be built and baught in his first week that he just wants to curl up and die, or at least go back home. Tubbo tries to assure him that its kinda his fault for not realizing Ranboo was small before hand, but that doesnt help his anxiety.
With every new thing Tubbo’s dad has to buy and everytime he has to facetime Tubbo to come take him somewhere he gets closer to a breakdown from embarasment and guilt. It all comes to a head when Ranboo asks for something from the fridge and Tubbo sets him inside it on the shelf with the item he wanted. Tubbo turned away to open a different container for their snack when Lani came into the kitchen. She shut the fridge on instinct apon seeing it open, Tubbo, destracted, didnt think of the consequenses.
Ranboo was horrified to see the door slamming closed and the light turning off. It felt a hundred times colder, and when the door didnt imediately open he had the horrible realization that he’d been forgotten. All he’d been trying to do was pick out what kind of sandwich meat he wanted and now he was going to die. He was too small to open a fridge door, too weak to take care of himself. Everything was so big, and he was so small. He’d never belong here, not with his friends. He’d always be the one that needed help getting from place to place and couldn’t even get a snack without help. He was overwhelmed and cold and sad and lonely and-
Light suddenly flooded the fridge and he was scooped into Tubbo’s warm hands. In his state of panic Ranboo didnt hear Tubbo’s desprate appologies and questions of his health.
“Ranboo! Are. You. Ok!” Ranboo flinched out of his panicked state and started crying. His teary eyes had preaviously made his eyelashes heavy with frost.
“I’m too small!” The outburst was sudden and strangled and scared but Tubbo was just happy he was talking.
“What do you mean? Lani shut the fridge on accident?” He heard her appologizing from the other side of the room but Tubbo quickly shoo’ed her out.
“She wouldnt have been able to if I was Human!” Tubbo cupped his cold friend in his hands and held him against his chest to warm him. And to hopefully ground him.
“Ranboo, its not your fault. We werent ready for you, but if you dont talk to me I can’t help make things easier. I know its hard but no one in this house thinks youre a burden, or useless. We just want your stay in a different country as easy as possible. It has to be scary, being so far from home in such a big house. But nothing you could ask for or need is bad. Please tell me when somethings wrong.” It was a long winded thing for Tubbo to say at one time, but his speaking grounded Ranboo and the reassurance helped him relax a bit.
“Thanks Tubbo. Im glad youre the friend that got stuck with me.” Tubbo chuckled at him but eventually let him go.
“How about you pick your lunch meat out here.” Tubbo said as he pulled the meats out of the fridge and onto the table for Ranboo.
They both laughed and Ranboo began to think maybe he’d get used to living with giants, and they’d certainly do their best to help him.
I got kinda lazy:( but i promise i love writing these its just 3am and writing is hard
-Im Brick btw:) if u wanna call me that
BRICK YOUR WRITING IS JUST !MUAH! CHEFS KISS I LOVE THIS SO MUCH 💙💙💙
This is so amazing and I can’t get over the idea of Ranboo feeling guilty about how much they have to do for him. I cant even imagine how much it would hurt Tubbo to hear Ranboo constantly asking if it would be better if he just flew back home. All Tubbo wants is for his friend to be comfortable and safe, but the tiny won’t even tell him what to fix out of guilt. The last thing he wants is for Ranboo to feel helpless, but it takes them all a while to make the house safe for him
