It was a stormy night in the smp, and Ranboo was out getting house items. He had left earlier that afternoon, leaving Tubbo at home. Tubbo wanted to be work and be productive, but Ranboo insisted that he stay home and rest, "Tubbo, you need to recover. Please stay home and rest today..." as Ranboo walked through the door, it was midway through a storm. Thunder rumbled in the distance as he put down the stuff, walking into the room where Tubbo was sleeping. But to his surprise, Tubbo was nowhere to be found. "Tubbo? Where are you?" He called, as he walked into the dining room. All of a sudden, a giant CRACK of thunder sounded, leaving the silence hanging in the air. Just as Ranboo was about to call out to Tubbo again, he looked down to discover he was under the table. "Tubbo? What are you doing under there?" To that he was answered with silence. "... Tubbo?"He bent down, reaching out to touch his arm, when another crack of thunder echoed in the sky, making Tubbo flinch. That's when Ranboo realized that the thunder was scaring him. He must have gotten flash-backs from the loudness. Ranboo reached out and pulled the shaking boy into his arms, hugging him tight enough to feel protected, but not tight enough to feel trapped. With every boom Tubbo flinched, and with every flinch Ranboo hugged tighter.
When the storm was over, Ranboo picked up Tubbo, who had fallen asleep and carried him to bed. They both slept peacefully for the rest of the night.
