Ranboo sat next to Tommy in awkward silence.

Ranboo found out what happened.

And now it's scary to even be in a 1 mile radius near Tommy.

Ranboo couldn't help but fidget wuth their fingers as Tommy just texted during class.

"TOMMY!" Tommy flinched at the teacher's sudden yelling.

"Y-yes..?" He stuttered, shoving his phone in his pocket.

"Are you texting in my class?"

"No.."

"Liar. I see your phone light. Bring up your phone and read your conversation."

"Ah, shit." Tommy said under his breath.

Tommy cleared his throat as he read one of the messages.

"The fuck you mean that Ranboo is still mad at you?" He started.

Everyone turned to look at Ranboo, who immideatly slumped in their chair wuth discomfort.

"I don't know man, I don't think Ranboo likes me.." Tommy added.

Everyone stared at Ranboo.

It was either that or they were staring at Tommy.

"Have you tried talking to them?" Tommy read, "Yes, they keep on ignoring me."

"Is that it?" The teacher asked, glaring at Tommy.

"Yes, it is, sir." Tommy answered.

The teacher did nothing but nod, "Alright, go sit back down."

Tommy practically felt the stare that Ranboo was giving him as he sat back down.

Ranboo went back to doing their homework.

Atleast.

That's what Tommy thought.

A green sticky note that was folded in half was passed to him.

'What the hell?'

Ranboo's hand writing.

Tommy didn't do anything but pass it back.

'Why were you talking about me?'

Tommy stared at it.

Tommy stared before taking out a pencil.

'Don't worry about it'

He passed back the note to Ranboo.

Ranboo glared at him with disbelief.

'When you say that it makes me worry.'

Tommy rolled his eyes, but couldn't help but chuckle under his breath.

'You don't hate me, do you?'

A swift pass.

'What? No? Why would I?'

Tommy stared at the words.

'Are you sure?'

'Tommy, I don't hate you.'

'You don't?'

'No.'

'Talk to me after school, meet me behind the school.'

'No.'

'I swear I won't beat your ass this time.'

'Fine.'

AFTER SCHOOL..

Ranboo walked behind the school, checking the time.

3:35.

Not bad.

Tommy also came behind the school.

"So.. You wanted to see me here?" Ranboo recalled, putting down their skateboard beside them.

"Yeah.. Uhm.. So.." Tommy's voice trailed off.

"Tommy, if you're gonna ask again, I don't hate you." Ranboo said in an instant.

"Actually.. It's uhm.. It's quite the opposite.." Tommy muttered.

"What? What do you mean?" The only thing Ranboo felt was confusement.

"Look, what I'm saying is, I like you."

Ranboo couldn't help but laugh.

"YOU?! LOVING ME?!" Ranboo shouted, laughing still.

"Ranboo. I'm serious."

Ranboo stopped laughing.

The blood rushed their face as their face was dusted with a bright red.

"I-" They couldn't help but mumble, "I love you too."

Tommy doesn't know why.

Or how he even thought about it.

But he kissed them.

He fucking kissed them.
