Summary
Dying from an explosion is a funny thing on the SMP.
Well, not really. In fact, there’s nothing really humorous about it. But Ranboo has always coped with the traumatic via humor, not that that's a trait unique to only him. But it does explain some of the casually morbid ways he goes about addressing the horrible things that have happened to him.
Point being: when someone dies on the SMP, it very seldom leaves a scar. Scars are reserved for the ghosts who have slipped through the coding, with translucent, desaturated skin, and a myriad of mental baggage to match the physical. Scars are the still dripping stab wounds that grace the stomach of a former president’s specter, or the slash in a father’s chest as he gives his life over in favor of his child’s. But that’s a little too far ahead.
The exception to this rule is burn scars. Isn’t it funny how that works?
Or, in the aftermath of the explosion from Wilbur's mechanism, Tubbo helps treat Ranboo's burns. Tommy helps, too.

Summary
For a moment, Tubbo debated waking him up. It wouldn’t be the first time that Ranboo would be awakened by Tubbo’s nightmares, whether by his outward signs of distress or purposeful rousing. Despite Tubbo apologizing for his many nights plagued by night terrors or flashbacks, and how disruptive he could be, Ranboo always reassured him, making him promise to wake him if ever he needed the company. No exceptions, he’d murmur.
Tubbo glanced at the gauze wraps across Ranboo's body, and his eyebrows furrowed. No exceptions, huh?
…No. No, Ranboo deserved the rest.
Tubbo sighed, leaning back on to his pillow and bringing the one fourth of the remaining covers over his torso.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Ranboo needed his support during this. And that’s exactly what Tubbo was going to give him.
Or, Tubbo wants to help Ranboo recover as best as he can, but his own past makes it difficult to help the way he feels he needs to.
