More Than Enemies [Slow Updates]

"You two go somewhere else!" Clay snapped, losing his patience with the bickering pair.

Ranboo and Tommy both went quiet.

Tommy released his death grip on Ranboo's wrist and stood up.

"Fine." Tommy muttered, sneering at Ranboo. "Didn't want to have to look at your ugly face any longer anyway."

Ranboo flinched at the comment as Tommy walked out of the living room. Most of Tommy's insults meant nothing to him, but the comments on his appearance nagged at him greatly. He had always been insecure about how he looked, his facial dysmorphia not helping in that fact.

Techno noticed and shook his head.

"He didn't mean it, Ranboo. He was just lashing out."

Ranboo nodded. He knew Tommy more than likely didn't mean it, but the words still stung.

"Well... I'll leave you guys alone," Ranboo said, getting to his feet. "Good luck."

Ranboo didn't wait for a response before walking away.

He wasn't sure what he was going to do, maybe he should go and find Tommy.

What? No. He's angry at... at Clay. So maybe it'd be fine to go talk to him...

Ranboo shook his head. Why did he want to go see him? Every time they saw one another they eventually got into a fight. Still, Ranboo found himself seeking out the fiery Brit.

He found him wandering the halls of the house, his eyes scanning the rooms that he passed by. Ranboo stopped, staring at him for a moment. He shook his head with a smile before stepping into view.

"You know, you could've just asked for a tour and I would've shown you around," Ranboo said, crossing his arms.

Tommy whirled around, his eyes wide.

"I-I was just.. Uh- well..." Tommy stuttered before fixing his posture and glaring at the tall American. "It's fucking rude to sneak up on people, prick."

Ranboo raised an eyebrow.

"It's also not very polite to snoop around someone's house without their knowledge." He said with a shrug. "Guess we're both in the wrong, huh?"

"Yeah, whatever." Tommy said. "Well since you're here, how about you show me around the rest of the place then."

Ranboo sighed and let his arms fall to his side.

"If you'll stop being so cynical."

Tommy was about to snap at him, then stopped.

"Fine. I'll be nice. Just show me around first." Tommy said, weirdly calm.

Ranboo didn't trust Tommy's sudden change in demeanor, but figured it was the best he was going to get from the Brit.

"Okay. Follow me."

Time Skip~

"And this is my room." Ranboo said, stopping in front of his bedroom door. "And I think that concludes our little tour. You can do whatever now."

Tommy nodded, grabbing for the door handle and opening the door. He started forward, but Ranboo stepped between Tommy and the entrance

"Uh, what are you doing?" Ranboo asked, laughing nervously.

"I wanna see your room." Tommy said simply, his voice light.

Ranboo froze, his stomach doing a little flip at the tone of Tommy's voice.

"I-I mean... I..."

Tommy stared up at him with those big, bright blue eyes. Ranboo's heart melted. God, those eyes would be the death of him.
