Authors note:
This one goes a little south. There's no "happy" ending but there's not a terrible one. It's kinda open.

2. Spend time with them. Some people prefer quality time over gifts. Let them know you care without having to tell them.

Ranboo did NOT want to spend time with Tommy of all hybrids.

He was loud, and brash, and rude, and frankly, an annoyance.

But Ranboo was determined to change.

He knocked on the wooden door of Tommy's dirt-den and heard a few crashes before he was met with blond hair and red wings.

"What do you want, boob boy?" Tommy glared, crossing his arms over his chest.

Ranboo ignored the nickname and sighed, also ignoring the peasant's blatant rudness. "I was going to go get some wood and wanted to know if you wanted to come with me."

Tommy raised a brow in suspicion. "And, why would you want me to come?"

He smirked a bit, rushing to cover it with a more appropriate smile. "I only have two hands. It would benefit me more to have four. And you can keep half the wood you get."

This had Tommy intrigued. He has been screaming about needing more wood for a project lately.

Only XD knows what the gremlin is up to with it though.

Tommy smiled, "Well, boob boy, it's you're lucky day. I just so happen to have a clear schedule. Let me grab my axe!"

He ran back in, slaming the door in Ranboo's face. The enderman let his scowl show when there were no prying eyes. He was already regretting this decision. He should have offered his valuable time to sneeg instead. At least sneeg would want to go on an adventure for totems or something. Not useless wood.

Ranboo didn't even want wood. He just knew Tommy did, so he took advantage of that.

Suddenly, the winged hybrid made himself known by rushing out of the door, closing it roughly behind him. He started towards the forest quickly.

"Come on, boob boy!" He shouted. "These trees ain't gonna chop themselves!"

The enderman signed, releasing a growl that Tommy hopefully couldn't hear, and followed the boy into the woods.

--Time Skip--

The only sounds filling the forest were Ranboo's axe splitting a tree, and Tommy's insufferable yapping.

The winged boy had long put down his axe, barely touching a few trees before he exclaimed that he needed a break and started talking about anything and everything all at once.

For a while, Ranboo tried to listen, or atleast make an effort to, but it soon became frustrating and he blocked out the noise with cutting down as many of the trees as he could.

Maybe he'd just give Tommy all the wood. The boy wasn't cutting down anything anymore and the enderman didn't need it. Plus, he could give it as a gift. Or just use an excuse and say he didn't want to hear him wine when he came back with nothing.

Soon enough, Ranboo's pearl began to buzz and ranboo found himself growing increasingly angrier. The end was quiet. Ranboo wasn't used to the noise or constant bark of Tommy's insufferable laugh.

Ranboo's tail whipped back and forth in agitation and he hoped that Tommy would notice the angered purr that left his chest.

The boy didn't notice.

Ranboo had stopped chopping, throwing down his axe, and turned to Tommy with a growl. The boy shut his mouth, but smirked soon after.

"OH, is the boob boy annoyed?" He teased. Ranboo didn't like that.

"First," the endermen spit out, releasing a more intimidating growl that had Tommy freeze in what could only be fear, "That's not my name, peasent." His tail lashed roughly and he watched as Tommy gulped, taking a step away from him. "Second, could you stop your usless yapping for two minutes?!" Another growl. "I've been doing all of the work for HOURS and you've sat on your butt doing nothing but being insufferable and annoying!" Tommy physically curled into himself. Ranboo almost felt bad until Tommy regained his composer and fired back angerly.

"Well, BOOB BOY, maybe I wouldn't be so annoying if you weren't such a stuck up prince bitch who thinks he's better than everyone!" Tommy's feathers ruffled in anger, "You've done nothing useful for anyone around here, so why would you think you're superior! You're just a DUMB PRINCY BITCH!"

It hurt.

Not the insult, no, it was dumb. But the fact that Tommy felt so negativly towards him and couldn't see that Ranboo was trying hurt a lot.

Ranboo made the mistake of letting the hurt show for a second too long and Tommy noticed, backing off.

Ranboo's scowl returned as Tommy opened his mouth to apologize.

"Ranboo, I'm so-"

"Forget it." He fired back, picking up his axe. "Let's just get back to the Pube. Here, take the wood. I didn't need it anyway." He handed it to Tommy and started to walk away.

Tommy looked down at the wood, and back up at the endermen who was walking away. Apart of him was angry and hated the stupid bitch. But another part of him felt bad for the things he said. He followed Ranboo back to Origins and went straight to his hut.

They both were very different people. One that was hot-headed and full of fire, and one that was blunt and sharp as a sword.

But the two of them had something in common.

They both hated admitting when they were wrong.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Welp, that was a small shit show. For a bit of future context, ranboo and Tommy will remember this, but both of them are too stubborn to say they are sorry. So, both of them act like they hate eahother but really, they just wanna be besties.
