“What are you doing?” Ranboo’s voice called through Tubbo’s phone.
“I’m waiting for Toms to come back from getting us drinks and snacks so we can watch the stars in peace. It’s our night together this month which I’m sure I told you.”
Ranboo laughed, “you did, Tommy texted me and asked me to keep you busy while he was away.”
“He’s such a weirdo.” Tubbo said fondly. “Thank you for keeping me company though, the blankets I’m curled into aren’t the same.”
“Are you and Tommy sharing~” Ranboo’s voice toned into one that Tubbo hated. He hated it because he was bringing up Tubbo’s undeniable crush on Tommy. Tubbo never escaped the voice without red cheeks and stuttering.
“I- no. Well. We could if we needed to wrap both our blankets around ourselves instead of taking the solo blankets. We just don’t need to do the double blanket method because it’s not cold enough.”
“It could be cold enough though.”
“Ranboo, that’s not how climate works you idiot.” Tubbo said and Ranboo just let out a long sigh.
“Tubbo..” Ranboo said slowly, “Bee, my dearest friend.” Ranboo paused, “you can just say you’re cold and then you guys have to share and be close and share a space.”
Tubbo paused, “ooooooohhhh”
“Ooohhhh” Ranboo mirrored. “Now I’m going to hang up because he texted me and said he was heading your way. I want details in the morning, Tubbo.”
“Okay, okay.” Tubbo said and watched the call drop. Tubbo heard the window open and close, the window was always left just a crack open to make it easier to open from the outside.
Tommy joined Tubbo on the roof and set some snacks down behind their mess of blankets.
“Do you mind if we share the blankets, it’s quite chilly out here.” Tubbo asked and Tommy didn’t hesitate to situate them so a duvet was around their shoulders and another draped across their laps as they sat with their shoulders brushing.
Ranboo was right about this being a good plan. Tubbo would thank him later (not really, he didn’t deserve the credit)
“Is this better?” Tommy asked after a moment of them both staring up at the sky full of stars.
“Much better,” Tubbo said, “thank you.”
“Anything for you Tubs, you know that.” Tommy swayed himself to bump shoulders with Tubbo, “you know I love you, Toby.”
Tubbo froze. That was not his normal tone of voice. And he used Tubbo’s real name while using his serious voice. What? That had to have been a trick of the ear or a mistake on Tommy’s part. So Tubbo laughed a bit, “wait till I tell the fandom that the straightest man alive really just said that.”
Tommy kept them close and they were now facing each other, “they wouldn’t believe the truth even if you paid them.” Tommy said with a certain glint in his eyes that Tubbo really wanted to believe was the stars.
Tubbo now chuckled slightly, “uhm, yeah. They’re like that.” Tubbo could feel Tommy’s breath on his face and he realized they had grown closer.
Since when?
“Toby, I love you.” Tommy whispered.
“This is not a funny joke, Tom.” Tubbo said, not pulling away but avoiding eye contact with Tommy. Even if he loved the soft blues.
“That girl from college never rejected me, I just realized I was using her to try and get over you and felt like a dick about it.” Tommy admitted, “getting over you never worked.”
Tubbo looked back at Tommy with soft eyes, “Toms, this isn’t funny.. the joke is over. If.. if Ranboo told you that I had feelings for you and you guys came up with this joke it’s not.. It's not funny. So you can stop now and we can pretend that I never had feelings for you and move on.”
Tommy’s hand found Tubbo’s face and he used his thumb to wipe at some tears, “Toby.” Tommy’s voice grew stern, “this isn’t a joke.”
“Prove it then.” Tubbo spoke in a small voice and after seconds he felt soft lips on his. It took his a moment to realize Tommy wasn’t pulling away and he kissed back.
The kiss they shared was soft and light. Their lips were just touching but that’s how they both wanted it. They needed to show how soft their love for each other really was.
Tubbo shifted a bit closer so they were more comfortable and he took Tommy’s bottom lip between his lips before pulling away, afraid he made a wrong move.
Tommy didn’t let them part far and just let out a breath before pressing their lips together, deepening their soft kisses to a more real kiss. A kiss that went from soft uncertain love to heavy and real love.
This kiss held more pressure between their lips, more suction, more will. This kiss got a hand on Tubbo’s waist, pulling them as close as they could on the roof.
Tommy shifted them again and now he was hovering over Tubbo with the hand that was on Tubbo’s cheek being on the roof. Tubbo held himself up slightly by wrapping his arms around Tommy’s neck, while Tommy held his waist. Tommy bit on Tubbo’s lip and Tubbo hummed into the kiss feeling Tommy smirk.
They pulled away once air was required and they both laughed a bit, pressing a chaste kiss or two to each other’s lips before returning to their sitting position on the roof.
Tubbo’s head was on Tommy’s shoulder and Tommy wrapped his arm around Tubbo. They would establish their relationship in the morning, for now they had each other and the stars and that was enough.

“Mute me.” Tubbo said, joining the call as he had Ranboo’s stream pulled up on his other monitor. Tommy was still sleeping in the nearby bed so Tubbo was whispering.
“Okay, you’re muted and so am I, what’s up?”
“We kissed. And in the moments we woke up hours ago we decided to make us official.” Tubbo said, he was speaking with excitement despite the whispering and Ranboo chuckled.
“Was he a shit kisser?” Ranboo asked and Tubbo gasped a bit.
“Woah, my Angel! You have wounded me with your swears. But no, he was.. he was amazing.” Tubbo swooned at the end and Ranboo hummed a bit.
“I’m glad it was all worth it then, it would suck if he was a bad kisser. Been there and done that. It’s not pretty.”
“Speaking of which how are things with-”
“Oh look!” Ranboo interrupted, “Tommy is awake, you better go like cuddle with him or something! ‘Kay, bye!” Ranboo ended the call and resumed the stream knowing Tubbo had fondly chuckled to himself before getting up and going to his bed and laying with Tommy.
Tommy had been on his phone and opened his arms for Tubbo only to resume his random Twitter burst while Tubbo was curled into his chest. Tommy may or may not have taken many photos of them cuddling (not to post anywhere but just to have) before he set his phone down and just held Tubbo.
They had eternity together and it was the best thing Tommy could ask for. And he knew Tubbo felt that way as well.
