Ranboo POV
A sleeping Willow was laying on my chest. Their head rising and falling as I breathed. She was getting much needed sleep, and I was glad that I was able to get some too. Even though things were chaotic, it was nice to have a moment of peace with each other.
That is until a loud slam if the door, followed by some grumbling downstairs, erupted throughout the house.
Willow jumped up, most likely frightened by the sound, and started breathing heavily in panic. I don't blame her, she was completely on edge and a slight unexpected noise would send her into a state of panic.
"Hey, hey! It's alight, it was just George and Sapnap. You're okay, I'm right here don't worry" I coo, slightly playing with their hair in hopes of calming them down
Her eyes slowly close again and she rests their head back in my chest
"I love you.." She mumbles, muffled by my shirt
"I love you more, my love" I say back with a small smile
Within seconds I could tell that she'd fallen back asleep again, they were exhausted after all
"This is a fucking nightmare" Sapnap says outside of the door, most likely speaking to George
"No shit, Sherlock. Our best friend was fucking arrested and now we have to go all the way to Canada, and we can't even take a plane there because all 4 of us are banned from planes for the next year and we have to do a whole ass court case and-"
"Shut the hell up, George. I have a terrible headache and you're not helping"
"I told you we shouldn't have gone to the bar, we're hungover as fuck"
"Sleeping in an alley way reminded me of my high school days, now I remember why I dropped out"
I cringed hearing the conversation, things were much more serious then I comprehended them to be. My thoughts were broken by the knock on the door.
"Come in!" I say, quiet enough not to wake Willow but loud enough for them to hear in the other side of the door
"Hey Jaxon.." Sapnap says, opening the door
"Hey.." I respond, just as grimly
He and George silently walk over to the edge of the bed, tension filling the air. Sapnap seemed to be looking at Willow
"How're they doing?" He asks
"Well, they had a panic attack at the airport. We got an uber home, I had to take her phone from her so she would sleep. By the way, I said something on Twitter about how you guys weren't gonna be on for a while, without any big details of course. Hope that's okay. We slept for a bit and I woke up to them having another panic attack. Forced her to eat a little something, and she's been asleep ever since then" I explain, looking down at the sleeping figure in top of me
Hints of worry, regret, and sympathy were shown on their faces as they also looked at Willow
"How the fuck did any of this even happen.." George mutters
"I feel like a fucking conspiracy theorist, been thinking of any way this could've possibly happened. I'm almost 98% sure this has nothing to do with aliens, but it's never out of the question" I joke
They both look at me with worried expressions
"Th-That last bit was a joke by the way.."
"Nono, I got the joke it's just..I'm worried about you. We're incredibly thankful for what you've been doing to help, but, you need to take time for yourself. This is stressful for you too, maybe you should try to get out of the house for a bit?"
"But Willow.."
"Willow can handle herself, you of all people know how strong she is. Plus, she has Niki, Tubbo, Tommy, Puffy, Phil, Quackity, Karl, Sap and I. She's gonna be okay, we all are" George reassures
"I appreciate the concern, but I promise you guys I'm okay. I'll take breaks if I need them"
"Alright..Just tell us if you need us. I don't know about George, but passing out in an alley way if Orlando doesn't provide the best night of sleep. I'm going take a much needed nap" Sapnap says before heading towards the door
"That makes two of us..Thank you Jaxon, we love you" George says before doing the same
I give a small smile and nod my head in return as they both walk out of the room
I just hope everything turns out okay..
Willow POV
I looked into the mirror as I wrapped my hair up into a messy bun. I had decided that if I was gonna be depressed, that I might as well look good doing it. Or at least look good to a certain extent.
I had washed my face, not having enough effort to do my, already short, skin routine. I didn't have enough effort to take a shower, but I did change my clothes into something other than the sweater I wore the day of the arrest, which was now 2 nights ago.
With a sigh, I walk out if the bathroom and plop down onto my gaming chair. I knew I had messages from worried friends, but I just didn't feel like talking much. I just wanted to watch some random ass twitch stream and binge it for a while.
No one was home. Sapnap and George were off doing some legal stuff, which was understandable, Jaxon had gone out to get some groceries and take a breather, I was left completely alone, and I was glad for it. I needed some time to just relax a bit.
And I was able to relax, but only for around 3 hours
The sound of Aimsey's voice was abruptly cut off as I yanked my earphones out. I quickly walked towards the source of the noise that disrupted my relaxation, the doorbell.
I opened the door to be met with 3 people
But it wasn't Sapnap, George, or Jaxon
"Willow!" Niki says, immediately embracing me in a hug
"What the fuck.." I murmur, tears starting to form from shock
I hug her back tightly and look behind her to see Wilbur and Tommy standing there with sad smiles
Niki and I separate, and I'm replaced with a different hug, this time Wilbur
"Hey Willy" Wilbur uses the nickname he gave me a while back "How're you?"
"I'm..okay. I'm out if bed, aren't I?" I say with a small chuckle
The hug gets replace one more, now by Tommy. This time, no words are spoken. Just a mutual agreement of love.
"What the hell are you guys doing here?" I ask as they all walk into the house
"Ranboo told us what happened. I had to come over, there was no way I was gonna comfort you through a phone at a time like this" Niki explains
"The second I heard, I was off to look for tickets here. I wanted to give you a hug in person and there was nothing stopping me from allowing that to happen. I also needa give you another hug, it being from Techno. He couldn't come because of his procedures and all" Wilbur adds on
"Once I heard that they were both going, I had to come. No one can stop red duo" Tommy jokes, causing me to smile
"Also, what is red duo? When he was begging to come with us he kept saying it and I have no idea what it represents" Wilbur asks
I laugh at his confusion "It's the fandom's duo name for us. Since both of our brands have red as our main color, they made us red duo"
"They really make the smallest correlations with this duo names" He rolls his eyes
"I wouldn't be surprised if they called us bi duo just because we're both bisexual" Niki laughs
"It'd be bi trio actually, we can't forget about Eret" I joke back
The room erupts with laughter, lifting the dim mood. I may have wanted to be alone but, it was really nice having my friends here.
As the laughter died back down and silence overcame the room again, I decided to get a little sappy
"Thanks for coming here, guys. It means a lot that you'd come all the way from the UK, and so soon, just to help comfort me. I love you all" I smile
"Of course, Willy. We're here for you no matter what" Wilbur hugs me again
"Yeah, we'd go to the ends of the Earth to help you, Low" Niki joins
"You're one of our closest friends, how could we not?" As does Tommy
*Time skip brought to you by Micheal's overalls*
Wilbur was sitting on the short side of the couch, layed back with his phone laying in his stomach. Niki was beside me on the long side of the couch, I had my head in her lap as she softly played with my hair. Tommy insisted on lying on the floor, so he was in front of the couch sprawled out.
Mid conversation, the doorbell rang once more. I guessed that it had to have been Jaxon, we still hadn't given him a key
"I'll get it!" Wilbur says, getting up and opening the door
"I know you're stressed and all so I- Fuck you're not Willow or Jaxon" A russian accent comes from the door
I shoot up from my spot on the couch, looking at the door
"Who the hell are you?" Wilbur says defensively
"Wilbur! It's okay, that's Rix" I say quickly before anything bad happens
"Oh thank god, hey Willow. I thought I got the wrong house or something"
"Ohhhh okay, you know each other. My apologies for getting defensive, here let me help you with that" Wilbur takes two large pans from out of Rix's hands
"I guess this makes the 4th unexpected guest of the day.." I mutter
"Was this a bad time? I'm sorry I just brought some treats, if you'd like me to go, I can" Rix suggests
"No! I enjoy you all being here for me. Let me introduce everyone. Rix, this is Wilbur, Tommy, and Niki. Everyone, this is Rix" I point to everyone as I introduce them
"Hello! I like your hair" Tommy compliments
"Ah, thank you! Erm, I brought brownies for you"
"Speaking of which..why does one of the pans have a 'W' on it..?" Wilbur asks cautiously
tw //// underage drug usage, (is that the right warning? sorry idk) weed/pot brownies
**I DONT CONDONE UNDERAGE DRUG USAGE BTW THIS IS FOR PLOT PURPOSES AND IT LOOKES FUN TO WRITE, BUT DONT ACTUALLY DO IT LMFAO
"Well, I didn't know if you and Jaxon maybe wanted to have some. I wasn't gonna pressure you or anything, but they help me with my stress and I just brought them in case you wanted them. It's just simple pot brownies"
"Oh hell yeah" I say, already getting up to grab one
"No, no, no. I come here all the way from the UK and I'm not allowing any one, especially two teenagers, to get high under my supervision" Wilbur says
"Come on, Wil! Nothing bad is gonna happen. We've got three adults here, plus Jaxon will be getting back soon and he won't be high, lets live a little" I try to convince him
He looks over at Niki, as if looking for her say
"They've been through a lot, Wilbur. I'd say to let them have this one thing at least. It might be fun"
I look at Wilbur with hopeful eyes
"Fine. But no leaving the house, I don't want another part of the dream team household going to jail"
"HELL YEAH!! Thank you Wilburrrrrr" I say, digging into the pan with the "W" labeled
"LETS FUCKING GO, WE'RE GETTING HIGH" Tommy says, also excited
"NO. TOMMY, YOU ARE NOT HAVING ONE" Wilbur yells as he, Rix, Niki, and I all chomp into a brownie
"OH COME ON, MAN. EVERYONE IS HAVING ONE EXCEPT ME"
"Your father would kill me if he found out, no Tommy." Wilbur says sternly
I look over at Tommy as he slumps back into his chair. I sneakily grab one of the brownies and give it to him, winking at him as I slip it into his hand. He smiles back and shoves it in his mouth before Wilbur sees.
This is gonna be fun..
