Work Text:
He, Tubbo, a random civilian who just dropped out of college and pretty much just hanging out with a few friends, trying to find a job. The Usual. What was unusual though was when earlier today he found a weird book in the library. Look it was not his fault he got it, the book was weird plus he asked kindly, “Is anyone gonna have that?” AND not wait for an answer.
Tubbo’s sister, Crumb was in his room, she was just chilling in the room with him as he investigated his closet for( his fanbase.) random candles and paint. If he couldn’t find them, to the dollar store he would go to. Look, he already read a few pages and like any normal person of society and not some strange person on the concerning side of Tumblr. Tubbo was gonna summon one or maybe two demons. This was probably a bad idea, and severally gonna backfire in some kind of way. He found a page on how to summon a certain kind of demon, and every other demon, or some other un-wordly creature. Tubbo could literally care less, he’s just some 18 year old who has almost no self restraint and dropped college.
Tubbo found, like, two Jesus candles, and dried yellow paint in the corner. Look how he got the candles was like, a Christmas gift from his distant auntie called Elisabeth years ago. Crumb was given two as well, but gave them to their dad, Jordan, and Jordan gave them to his youngest daughter Lani, who had six Jesus candles, and just shoved them onto a shelf, only to never be touched again. Wait, wouldn’t the summoning fail if he used Jesus candles? Well Tubbo didn’t care after that thought crossed his mind. He was busy being a quirky white boy right now.
“Hey Crumb!” Tubbo yelled over and dragged out Crumbs name. Crumb gave a hum in response, “Do you know where dad put the rest of the candles?” Tubbo asked, walking over to his desk and just put them down.
“I think Dad gave them to Lani.” She said, not bothering to look over at him. Tubbo shrugged and walked out of his room, “M’kay thanks!” Tubbo chirped. The walk to Lani’s room wasn’t long at all, they were neighbors. Their bedrooms were right next to each other. Crumb was the lucky one and got the cool Attic room, where Crumb can stomp above Tubbos room and he could hear it perfectly loud and clear. Meaning if she were to blast music, Tubbo would have to hear her music, Lani too, but just not as loud.
A few knocks on Lani’s door, and he didn’t wait for a reply. Being the best brother ever, Tubbo barged into her room and started to scream incoherently like a rabid bird. Ultimetally this ended up with him getting a pillow to his face followed by a “Oh my god you SCARED ME!” exasperation by the youngest, well, turns out she was listening to music, really, really, REALLY loudly. “Sorry, anyways, I heard from Crumb that you have candles?” He said questioningly. Lani nodded and pointed over to a shelf with DUSTY ASS candles. Wow, was it really that long since they got them? Well, the answer is yes.
“Yeah they’re over on that shelf.” Lani flipped a page in her book, and put her headphones back on. Tubbo shrugged and went to grab the candles. Just like that. Easy. Boom. Like, seriously. The adventure to his room was short, as well. But anyways, Tubbo had set the JESUS candles with the rest and walked back to his bed. Ignoring the mess, he calls a room right now.
"Hey Crumb, wanna play Mario Kart with me?"
"Why not, I'll win this time Tubbo!"
Tubbo grinned, as he set up the game. Honestly, it was difficult playing Mario Kart with Crumb because she is somehow good at it. Like, she can probably challenge god to a round of Mario Kart and somehow win. Wait, if Tubbo can take her on in Mario Kart, IS he god? Maybe.
....
.....
It's been two hours of playing Mario Kart, and repetitive screaming, challenges, cheating, 'Im telling dad on you!'s, 'Im Inlove with an emo girl', sobbing, and sister-brother bonding that somehow, they were both in last place. Lovely.
"Hey tubs, I'm going to bed now, 'm tired." Crumb put the controller down and got up to leave.
"Alright! Goodnight Crumb."
"Goodnight Tubbo!"
"Gooooddddniiiiiiiiiight Crumb!"
"GOOD NIGHT TUBBO!"
"GOOD NIGHT CRU-"
"GO THE HECK TO SLEEP"
Jordan yelled from across the hall. Making the two share a glance and giggle. Crumb left, and turned the light off when she left to the her room and that's when Tubbo looked at the candles and grinned.
"This is probably something I'm going to regret, but honestly... Fuck it."
Tubbo started to clean out a space and then set things up, setting the candles in the respective places, putting the pain on the ground. Wait, he probably should do this outside. Nah, forget it. Inside it is!
He can't read what the text says, but he's gonna have to wing it. He started to mumble the words he can make out, then tried to figure out the ones he can't read properly. Fuck he should have turned the light on. Anyways, he grabbed a lighter and light the candles. Tubbo grabbed the knife he stole from the kitchen and ultimately never returned and sucked in a breath as he steadily cut into his palm, trying not to cut too deep to sever a vein, but deep enough to draw blood. Soon he started to recite everything in a hushed whisper. Oh, nothing, he did this all for nothing. NOTHING HAPPENED. He waited for about two minutes, before cursing at the circle. Which also started to glow. Wow.
Tubbo grips on his cut hand, because when he had cut it earlier it fucking HURT. Anyways continuing on, the glowing circle, now dark and repetitive whispers of darkness and edgy shit. The room soon grew more darker and the candles, somehow didn't go out, soon, two glowing blue eyes stared down at him. If that didn't send chills down Tubbos spine, then who knows what will.
There was a lot of glowy effects. Weird.
Well no shit Tubbo was summoning a demon of high power he didn't think he was able to summon. Suddenly, everything stopped and there stood a figure in the center of the summoning circle. "Oh holy shit that worked." Was the first thing he muttered.
The demon grinned at the short mortal. "Well no fucking shit that worked, you summoned the BIGGEST demonoid."
Well now Tubbo feels like an idiot. "Okay, uh, I'm, Tubbo."
"Well, Tube, I have lots of names so you can call me Tommy. Why'd you summon me?" The Demon- Tommy, Tubbo thought for a moment, and the accent, totally was not what he was expecting.
"Are you fucking British?"
Tommy just stood there, physically and mentally pausing at the question. Before he bursted out laughing, it bounced off the walls. "No, I am not this fucking, 'British' thing you speak of, so anyways back to my original question-"
"Yeah yeah, but can you not look like my damn paralysis demon?"
Tubbo cut off this British demon who could easily be loud enough for his dad to tell him to get his ass to bed and possibly exorcise the demon with sheer will power of wanting Quietness at night.
"Oh, sure okay."
Tommy soon snapped his fingers, and more smoke covered the demons body and when it disappeared. A blonde talk ass lanky fuck was in its place. "Poggers, want to join me in summoning another demon?" Tubbo asked with a little shit eating grin. Never to answer Tommy's question.
"Oh for fucks sake-— Sure, gimme that book you used, I can help you pick out someone I probably know."
Wow, was this book like a phone book, but for demons? Probably!
Tubbo quickly handed the book to the demon.
"So, were you thinking of a Contract demon? Or like, one of those fancy fuckers who kill 'n' shit?"
"Hmm, I don't know bossman, why not this guy?" Tubbo pointed to a green and red fog thing on the page. Which made Tommy groan.
"This guy? For real? He's a fucking loser!" Tubbo would absolutely deck this demon with a goddamn chair if he doesn't quiet the fuck down.
"Yes I'm sure, can't be that bad."
Tubbo repeated the process, well, now he has two cuts on his palm, yeah he used the same hand for this one.
"Why the fuck are you using Jesus candles?"
"Honestly, they were the only ones we got."
"Oh."
Suddenly there was smoke, it filled the room, it was blinding. Fuck, maybe Tubbo would go blind if he kept his eyes open. Anyways, Tubbo coughed a bit, maybe even wheezed a bit due to the fucking smoke filling his room. Well, soon there stood an outline of a taller, lankier, demon. The smoke soon Disappeared into nothing and there stood a half white half black bald ass heterochromia green red eyed fuck. "Hey bossman." Tubbo waved at the demon, who looked confused, and then looked at the other demon and just let out a sigh.
"Hey Boob boy."
"Hey... Tommy."
Well if this isn't an awkward atmosphere, then who knows what is. "So, like, I summoned you both, my hand stopped bleeding a second ago, and can any of you fucking help me bandage this up?"
The taller demon snapped his fingers and there was medical supplies infront of Tubbo. "I asked for help bandaging this. Oh well" he muttered and soon started to bandage himself as the two watched.
"Okay, so, now to finally answer your question Tommy, I summoned you out of sheer boredom. So, now what the fuck happens?"
"We, make a contract I guess?" The Taller demon said, oh, this one didn't even introduce himself,
"What's your name?" Tubbo, the shortest in the room, asked respectfully.
"Oh! I'm, uh, Ranboo?" Ranboo seemed to have said that like a question moreso than an actual answer. Oh well.
"I'm Tubbo, anyways, do you have a more, humanoid form or something like Tommy over here?"
"I do actually-"
With that. Ranboo was covered in smoke, once MORE! Out came an American.
A very tall person with glasses and a mask, half n half as well, dressed like a suburban dad.
"Wow. Anyways, about that contract you both were talking about-"
"Yeah yeah, you summoned both of us, so like, what do you wish for? Or something, look, I have to get back before dinner or else my dad would have my head."
"Okay okay, uh, well, I guess, I can't think of anything right now, so I'll call you both back later, I need sleep before I do something more stupid."
"Oh! Erm... Here have these papers, you can do a quick summoning for either of us whenever you want, the expiration date is 2108/07/09 for both pages! Granted you won't live for that long I could probably change that if you want, call one of us if you figure out what you want."
The tall American-like Demon gave Tubbo like, two pieces of whatever kind of demonic paper with different type of pentagrams with different colours. Cool! You gain +2 boldness and 1+ fun!
"Fucking business man boober, see ya later Tube!"
Tommy fucking stomped on the ground twice, for a circle to show up and he fell in, the taller demon waved and snapped his fingers for his own portal to go into. Oh yeah there's more of a mess in his room now, well. Clean the evidence is a must! So Tubbo blew out the candles and kicked them to the side and proceeded to smudge the paint on the floor, he'll wash that later. Tubbo went to his bed and the second his head hit the pillow, he was out cold.
