They sat there for what seemed hours but only a few minutes when their brothers walked into the room and had quickly rushed over when they saw them awake.

"Ranboo! Oh god, are you ok? Do you need anything?" Karl mothered him. Schlatt and Dream stood on the opposite side of the bed. All three held concern on their face for him.

Ranboo remained quiet. He looked down at his lap and sighed before opening his mouth.

"I-" Their mouth suddenly felt dry. "I'm sorry.." They said. They clenched their fists and lowered their head more, their hair hiding their face from their brothers. The three others looked at each other before looking back at the youngest. Schlatt placed his hand on Ranboo's shoulder, gaining their attention.

"You don't need to apologise for anything kid. We're just glad you're ok. But please, don't ever do that again or at least tell us if you do. Okay?" Schlatt comforted them. Ranboo felt his heart swell and their eyes fill with tears. They quickly pulled Schlatt into a hug and quietly sobbed. Schlatt rubbed circles into their back as they cried and said soft words of, 'You're okay' and 'You're safe'.

Karl and Dream made sure there was space to make sure they wouldn't over-stimulate the teen. They could already see and tell at how much he was stressed and needed to vent out his emotions.

Ranboo had stopped crying after a bit but kept hugging his older brother out of spite and wanting comforting to him. Something safe and stable to be around. Schlatt kept rubbing circles on his back. Ranboo took a breath before talking.

"I don't want to be here anymore."

Schlatt stopped his motion. He looked towards the other two(2) and gave them a questioning look. Dream looked to Karl and the latter sighed. He pulled out his phone and began typing out Eric's number, stepping out of the room to talk to him.

Schlatt pulled back from the hug and pulled up a chair and held the teens hand. Ranboo looked their lap with their hand playing the blanket.

"So," Schlatt coughed. "Uh, you wanna tell us what was on your mind when it happened?" He asked softly. The kid was already stressed out from everything.

"Uhm. I-" Their throat and mouth felt dry. "I've done this before. But not to this degree. I-...I saw the old ones fading and I was actually happy about it but...I..I just got overwhelmed by the thought that they wouldn't be there anymore and I guess-..I guess I just-...I started cutting and I-.." Tears started to roll down their cheeks and he began sniffleing from their stuffy nose. Dream decided to hug the teen. "Hey, it's okay Ranboo. If you don't want to tell the entire story, that's okay. It's okay." He comforted.

Ranboo nodded into the green sweater and pulled back to wipe away the tears and wetness they left behind. "Well,I guess I just got overwhelmed with things.." The twins nodded. "Things were probably going too fast around you maybe. And that's okay. Of you want, we can take you out on a mental health day of that'll make you feel better. We do whatever you want, or we can just stay home and relax in each others company. That sound nice?" Schlatt said. Ranboo nodded. "Yeah, that- that sounds nice." He sniffed.

Karl came back into the room and put his phone in his pocket. "Okay, Eric said that it'll be ok to check you out, but the doctor has to come and make sure you're all good to go. And then, we're out of here." Karl said softly and walked over to Ranboo. Ranboo thanked him.

They all sat in comfortable silence for a while before the doctor came into the room and looked over the teen. He checked their vital and blood pressure, made sure that they had no fever and checked their wrists. "Well, you're  perfectly healthy so you're good to go. Just make sure you change out your bandages and gauze every day and after showers." The doctor said while disconnecting the IV and the clip on Ranboo's finger before leaving the room.

They helped Ranboo out of the bed, the teen still being slightly dizzy. Ranboo leaned on Dream for support as they all walked out of the hospital room and to the front desk for Karl to check him out. Once done, they went to Schlatts truck and got inside before driving off to Ranboo's home.

When they arrived, they go out of the truck and went inside the house. They went to the living room where Ranboo was immediately hugged by their parents. "Oh, we're so glad you're ok honey. We were worried when your brothers were carrying you in their arms and rushing you to the hospital. You gave us quite the scare. But, you're well and here, so that's all the matters." Eric worried. Connor hugged Ranboo one last time before going to stand next to his husband. Ranboo smiled and sat on the couch. The rest of the family did so as well and turned on the TV. They asked what Ranboo wanted to watch. Ranboo requested Bo Burnham's new Netflix special, so they put it on.

He gradually fell asleep comfortably in his parents arm only half way through the show.
