"You know toms, I do have to get up at some point"
Tommy just grumbled into Ranboo's shirt, tightening his hold on the older and burying his face further into his chest.
Ranboo sighed, horribly fond as he ran a hand through golden curls. He didn't wanna get up either, he had stuff to do but he was too content; too soft.
Tommy hummed, pleased, snuggling in deeper. It was nice to have someone else his age with the same love language as him, Tubbo never liked physical touch and Tommy always had to hold back around the older boy. With Ranboo however, he never did, the taller already snatching him into a hug before Tommy could even ask for one.
It was just nice; comforting.
So you can see why he didn't want his best friend to get up.
Ranboo slumped into the cushions in defeat, simply wrapping his long arms around the youngers waist and nuzzling his nose in the mess of blond hair on his chest with a fond huff.
Tommy made a muffled victorious noise, fisting Ranboo's shirt and sighing contentedly.
"Alright, chickadee, you win," he murmured all to fondly, "we'll stay here, I'll procrastinate all my work till tomorrow, you happy now, my prince?"
He felt Tommy grin into his chest and snorted, "Very much so, boo" Tommy hummed happily.
Ranboo rolled his eyes amusedly, tapping his fingers absentmindedly where his hand was wrapped around the boys waist, random song beat patterns tapped softly onto the fabric of Tommy's sweater.
Tommy only curled further around him, "You're warm" he mumbled tiredly.
"And you're sleepy"
Tommy cracked one eye opened to glare at him, "What about it, big man?" He challenged, "what are you gonna do about it?"
Ranboo smirked, raising an eyebrow amusedly, "I never said anything was wrong with it, but if you insist on making everything a challenge, little birdie,"
Tommy opened his mouth to question what he meant but clicked his mouth shut as a large hand brushed oh so gently through his blond curls, twirling one around it's finger.
Tommy's eyes slipped back shut as he went boneless in Ranboo's hold.
Ranboo simply huffed out an all too fond laugh, "I think you forget you have an off switch, sweetheart"
Tommy whined a bit and Ranboo scratched gently at his scalp in a silent comforring tactic. Tommy leaned into his hand with a hum.
Ranboo grinned at the slight flush on the youngers face, he always got embarrassed with pet names but Ranboo couldn't help it, it was pretty cute.
Tommy smushed his face deeper into Ranboo's soft shirt, hand tightening where it was fisted in the fabric, falling asleep steadily.
Ranboo smiled softly with a soft hum, letting it rumble through his chest to further lull the younger to sleep. He hesitated for only a moment before pressing a kiss to the boys hairline.
Tommy's lips twitched up into a smile in his sleep and Ranboo's breath stuttered in his chest as he grinned.
"Sweet dreams, little prince," he murmured into Tommy's hair, "I'll be right here"
And he was, he flushed a bit when he heard the front door open as Tubbo finally came home, knowing the other boy would coo and fawn over them half-teasingly and take blackmail pictures, but he couldn't find it in him to care, not when Tommy was sleeping peacefully, content and oblivious in his arms.
He rolled his eyes as Tubbo eyed the boy in his protective hold fondly, cooing exaggeratedly, though still only half-joking, and taking no less than ten pictures that Ranboo would bet money that the other was gonna send to the whole fucking server.
Ranboo finally huffed after Tubbo pocketed his phone with a fond grin, "You done now?"
Tubbo raised his hands placatingly, "Not my fault you've gone all soft, boss man"
Ranboo rolled his eyes, continuing carding his hand through Tommy's blond mess of hair.
"You're soft too, Tubbo, don't deny it," he said sternly, with a fond look, "I'm just not afraid to admit it. Tommy could make anyone soft"
Tubbo faltered a bit, "Yeah, that's fair, he tends to have that effect on people; he's like a kitten, cute and cuddly but tries to act all fierce and angry"
Ranboo huffed out a laugh, "Very accurate actually, you mess with his hair and it's like his off switch"
Tubbo hummed, a fond smile playing on his lips, "That always comes in handy, I've used it a few times"
Ranboo just rolled his eyes, scratching lightly at the boys scalp, right behind his ear and listening to the soft content sigh that fell from Tommy's lips. He smiled softly.
Tubbo grinned smugly, taking the chance to mess up Ranboo's hair while the other boy couldn't chase him, relishing in the quiet but indignant squawk from him; hushed as to not wake Tommy, and Tubbo rolled his eyes fondly at the simple act of softness.
"Hope the couch treats you well tonight, boss man" Tubbo said cheekily as he walked away. Ranboo only huffed, flipping him off before threading his long fingers back into Tommy's hair.
Ranboo laid his head back onto the armrest he we laying against and shut his eyes, rubbing soothing circles on the blonds back as he slowly drifted from consciousness, one hand still buried firmly into thick golden hair.
He fell asleep himself not five minutes later.
And Tubbo was right: he did end up spending the night in the couch that night.
But he didn't mind one bit. 'Cause he had his adorable blond little brother safe and asleep in his arms. He didn't think he'd ever slept better.
And if Tubbo quietly crept back downstairs to cover them both with a blanket and take a few more pictures to send to everyone, well.....
They didn't need to know.
