Starting POV: Tommy POV

×××

It's a great day... Except the fact that the biggest manipulator, Dream, escaped prison, with the help of my brother, Technoblade. This day really couldn't get any worse until I was being hunted down by that fucking blob teletuby homeless ass guy. But now, I was sure nothing could get any worse. Only better.. Or maybe not.

I was making sure Shroud was okay, luckily he was. I sighed out of relief before hearing a knock and the sound of my door opening. I jumped, before turning around and seeing.. Ranboo!..?

..But not..

He had this huge slash in his chest-stomach region. Blood seeping down and soaking the somewhat see through clothing..

Ranboo smiled, "Tommy! Buddy, how are you?" I stopped for a second, "W-..what happened..?" Ranboo tilted his head before speaking, "Oh?.. I was killed, haha. I was trying to get out of prison before stuff happened and soon enough, I was killed so" He shrugged.

I lied, this day just got a hundred times worse.. "What the fuck!? Who killed you?" Ranb– Ghostboo? Boo? I dunno.." Ranboo answered, shrugging, "Oh, Sam" I froze, First that fucker let's me die, then kills Ranboo. Great.

I felt teary, but shook my head, "Ranboo–.. Ghostboo..? Yo-You're dead..?" He nodded, "I guess. I died that time, then that time.. And now so yeah! I guess I am dead! Also if you hear me humming or dancing make sure I stop," He seemed way too energetic to be dead, "So, you're h-happy.. being dead..?" Ranboo nodded, "Oh yeah, it's so much more comfortable to be able to freely roam instead of having to worry about who's manipulating who and what's being threatened and blown up, y'know?"

I didn't understand, "But when I was dead... I.." Ranboo shrugged, "I dunno.. If anyone knows death, ask Wilbur or Philza! or someone else.." I shook my head, "I uh... I've got some things to uh.. to do.. Pl-please leave..?" Ranboo nodded, "Okie dokie! Cya Tommy!"

I shook, "ask Will, he was dead.. Or Philza..?" I shrugged, carefully making my way to Phil's house, making sure Dream wasn't near me still while I went, I didn't have time for this, I know it. But I'm curious.

I knocked on his door, Phil opening it up for me, allowing me to come inside. He sat me down in a chair, sitting across from me, "What's up, mate?" I hesitated, "W-.. Why is Ranboo.. Ghostboo.. So free.. But when I died..." I paused trying to think of the correct words, "It was like I was in an undying bond of hurt, betrayal and sadness..?"

Phil paused, clearly not expecting that to come, "Uh.. Well, it depends y'know?" Phil paused, "Tommy, I think death is different for everyone. Like.. Ghostbur; Ghostbur was always happy and wanted to make others happy too.. But Wilbur wasn't like that in reality, only his ghost." I nodded understanding, "O-okay.. that makes a lot more sense. But that still doesn't really explain it..!"

Phil sighed, "When Will died, he was ready. He asked to be killed.. And Ranboo might've been waiting for his death.." I paused, thinking for a moment, waiting for death..? Why would he be waiting for it?..

I shrugged it off, "O-okay.. makes sense.." Phil smiled softly, "Now go on before Techno gets back or something." I nodded, smiling but I was still confused on why Ranboo would wait for death. Death.

I sighed, walking back to my house, trying to make sure the blob wasn't around here at the moment. I saw Ranboo sitting near a few alliums while on my way. I paused debating whether I should go sit with him or not. I eventually made my way toward him, sitting down on the grassy section of land.

Ranboo looked over at me, smiling, "Hey Tommy" I gave a weak smile, "Hi" Ranboo frowned, "What's wrong Toms?" I stared at the alliums, "I.." I didn't know if GhostBoo would know the answer, "ah, it's a question that you wouldn't be able to answer.. Well.. you as in the ghost Ranboo.."

Ghostboo frowned, "Just because I'm in the form of a ghost, doesn't mean I'm not still here, Toms.." I nodded, "okay" I hesiated before taking a sharp breath, "..you waited for death?" Ranboo stayed frozen in that spot, just staring into nothing.

But, he eventually just sighed, "Toms, I felt like there was nothing left for me to do. And there really wasn't. But now as a ghost I don't have to be around much. I really didn't care less if I died or not" He shrugged at the end. I felt tears pricking at the corners of my eyes, "B.. But why? Me.. Tubbo.. Phil.. Techno.. A lot of people care and or cared about you.."

He sighed before putting a cold hand on my shoulder, "I'm sorry.. But I couldn't protect myself either way. I'm sorry" I nodded, going back to staring at the ground. I heard him shuffle around next to me, soon I felt a gentle touch behind my ear. I looked up and saw a blob of purple in the corner of my eye. Ranboo smiled, "There, an allium, to always know I'm here by heart." I smiled.
