being childhood best friends with cc!ranboo would include...
synopsis: what it was like growing up best friends with ranboo
listen to: count on me by bruno mars, twin size mattress by the front bottoms, the best day by taylor swift
you probably met in your early school days, most likely first grade or so (you'd be like 6 for those of you who don't go to american public school!)
you'd become friends pretty fast, always picking each other during partner work time and playing with each other on the playground
you probably poked at worms and drew each other little pictures 😭😭😭😭😭
growing up your parents knew him and their parents knew you, so you'd always spend time at each other's houses
summers were always the best because you got to spend nearly every day together, always swimming at his house or riding your bikes around your neighborhood
when you were twelve, you got into a pretty big fight and didn't talk to each other for almost a month. it was the longest you'd ever been apart, and you both cried when you finally made up. your parents were extremely worried about the two of you
when you got to be about 13, your body changed quickly, and they were always the first to hype you up when you felt down about yourself, and they always stuck up for you if you got bullied or received unwanted attention
he became a personal guard dog for you 😭
they'd literally just intimidate people with their height and that's all it took
you were his support system when discovering his gender and sexuality and they will never ever forget that
you're genuinely their soulmate. even if not romantically, you're two halves of one whole, and you both know it deep down
you're the first person he goes to when he blows up online
you're in full support, but you want to remain completely anonymous and uninvolved
you don't want their clout, and they love you for that
everyone around you thinks you guys are dating, and you don't make a big deal out deal of denying it, just a simple "no, they're just my best friend!"
as ran continues to grow online, you remain entirely out of the public eye for a couple years
in late 2022, he introduces you to his fanbase and they love you!!
after that you still stay pretty private, only really joining for a couple streams and videos here and there
chat always asks about you
they love to tell stories about you on stream
when he moves to the uk, you cry harder than you ever have, but you understand that he sort of needs to for his career path, and you're in support
they promise to still call and text you every day
before he leaves though, you guys kinda have an "oh, duh" moment where you're like,, wait. you're an adult, too,, you could literally just go with him.....
so you do! you move to the uk with them!
your parents all see you off and you all cry together, but they know you'll be alright because you have each other to lean on
eventually you're introduced to aimsey, bill, tommy, tubbo (im delulu), freddie, and others such as wilbur, james, ash, phil, and charlie
you are an official member of cricket crew
sometimes you guys will go back to america and visit your hometown in california, driving together down your old town's streets, windows down and music up, reminiscing
they will cuddle you or hold your hand (/p) if you ever want or need them to
he knows you so well that you don't even have to ask
tesco trips. y'all never have to argue about who is going to do the shopping, you always go together because it's fun. hanging on the shopping buggy, riding it through the aisles, buying a bunch of things that you most definitely do not need
they 100% spoil you. they will buy you anything and everything, just because they wanted to. you try to do the same as much as you can, but he always wins because they have that streamer money 😔
you both have so many stories and so much blackmail on each other
and photos... my god, the pictures yall have........
birthday gifts are never serious, you always get each other gag gifts and inside joke related gifts
christmas is when you literally spoil each other
they always bring home your favorite snacks when they're out
if you're a gamer, they're introducing you to new games they found and learning how to play them with you
if you're not a gamer, he's teaching you how to play his favorites just for fun!
if they get too scared playing a horror game they'll call you into the room and make you sit with them and be scared too :P
you guys have this sixth sense, when something is wrong, you just... know. ran's upset? you don't even have to talk before you're already hugging him. you're sad? he's leaving tommy's house right now because he can't explain it, there's just a disturbance in the force
whenever anyone asks how you guys met/how long you've been friends, he always sounds so proud when he says "oh, i've known them my whole life!"
y'all are so sweet i swear to god
