Seeing The Mask (Beeduo Fanfic | Highschool Au)

Chapter 12 : Bedtime Stories

Tubbo couldn't sleep that night, his mind kept coming back to consciousness every time Ranboo stirred. It was killing him, he never had so much trouble sleeping in his life. It was torture at his highest. He decided to just let his mind adventure to at least let him not die of boredom in bed. He began thinking straight to Ranboo's behavior earlier. Had Ranboo not gotten enough sleep, he knew if he didn't sleep enough he can not have the most perfect thought process. He bit on his lip wondering how he felt about it till Ranboo stirred causing his mind to focus on that.

Why can't I just sleep? He questioned himself. He heard continual stirring till he saw the shadowy figure of Ranboo. "I know your not sleeping Tubbo, your breathing to hard and too fast for that." Ranboo muttered. Tubbo froze, his eyes widening in the darkness as he heard the clatter of glasses. "S-sorry Ranboo." Tubbo stuttered, flustered. He heard a humm of excaptance from Ranboo which eased him slightly. "Maybe a story would help." Ranboo suggested grabbing a book from their shelf. "Ranboo you know I can't read very well." Tubbo reminded his condition to his friend. He hated the fact he had to pass back and forth from his dictionary to spell words correctly. It killed him so much. He was lucky that he even is passing cause the awareness of it was letting them be easy on him.

"Well I'll read it to you." Ranboo told him. Tubbo got red at the thought, "Oh you don't have to do that." "But I do." Ranboo quickly battled. Tubbo didn't feel like continuing the battle so he went silent. "Is 'Orphan Island' good enough?" He asked him. (Such a good book BTW.) "Yeah sure." He agreed liking the name of it. Ranboo opened the book, Tubbo quickly liking the sound of the turning page, Ranboo began reading the first words of the book, Tubbo quickly falling to ease, putting his head to the pillow under him.

Ranboo's Perspective :

He read the book, enjoying the sound of the lifestyle the characters had already, curiosity of how the main character was going to keep care of the new little child. He rose his head as he heard the sound of soft breathing. Tubbo had fallen asleep. A smile creeped across his face under his mask, taking it off with his glasses to relieve himself from it. He kept his eyes on the small, sleeping, boy. He raised his head, getting on his tippy toes to kiss the head of Tubbo. He saw a smile cross Tubbo's sleeping face, as he cuddled the pillow. The very pillow that Ranboo threw at him and hadn't gotten back.

He couldn't help but notice how much Tubbo actually liked the pillow, he wondered why. Was it cause it reminded it of him, he quietly chuckled at this. He couldn't help but like the sound of Tubbo liking him so much that he would cuddle his pillow. He decided not to take it back, mainly cause he actually liked the pillow Tubbo had thrown at him in response. He slipped behind the curtain covering his bed, and put his head on the pillow after marking the spot he stopped at in the book, and putting it back. He let himself replay the day before sleeping like usual. The beginning of the day was normal and then it continued and he paused at his behavior in one of their classes. It hadn't done any negative affects hopefully. He liked the way that Tubbo got red beside him, and his small beating heart.

A grin crossed his face at the thought and finally felt able to sleep though he didn't go through his whole day, his mind focused on the sleeping above him, falling to a deep but comfortable sleep.
