Ranboo wakes up on his thirteenth birthday with the name “Tubbo” written on his wrist. He feels a sense of happiness and dread. Happiness that he has a soulmate, but dread that his soulmate has his deadname on their wrist.
It’s a Saturday, and his parents aren’t awake yet, so Ranboo picks up a sharpie and writes a quick hello!! to his soulmate. He takes a deep breath, waiting for a response, but gives up after a good ten seconds and instead starts getting ready for the day.
Midway through eating his cereal, Ranboo feels a slight prick on his skin. He turns his arm over to reveal his soulmate’s message.
!!! yo dude you’re finally thirteen!!
Ranboo smiles. Bless the gender euphoria he gets from being called a dude.
finally? how long have you been waiting?
uhhh like a month
wow. that’s incredibly long
Ranboo wants to address their soulmate by name, and figure out their pronouns, but he also doesn’t want to find out that Tubbo doesn’t have “Ranboo” written on his wrist.
Ranboo waits for the conversation to die out, but it doesn’t. Tubbo is just someone who Ranboo vibes with, someone he can see himself talking to for hours on end.
ever heard of minecraft, big man?
Bless the gender euphoria. Ranboo grins this time. He knows minecraft. They meet up on a minecraft server.
you’re lucky you got your real name as your username. that’s really rare! Ranboo comments.
we’re twins!!!
