Tubbo was at the burnt remains of his house. Sitting in front of it, legs crossed. He didn’t care if anyone found him here. The odds of them ignoring him because he was him were high. No one saw Tubbo as a threat. Just a scared kid who can’t even say no to his own best friend. Even when he does that guilt starts to build up in his stomach and he gives into hating that feeling.

He closed his eyes as he let the sound of the outside take him away. Letting the chill breeze give him small goosebumps. He had taken off the coat and was left in a simple button down.

He heard the loud footsteps behind him. Whoever it was wanted him to know that they were there. He let out a sigh as he turned his head around to look at who was disrupting his peace. When he made eye contact with a mask, his shoulders tensed slightly as he knew the man would most likely kill him for even being there.

Good thing Tubbo prepared for that and left everything at home not wanting Dream to pick up his things. He didn’t want to have to respawn back at his home and run back to try and make Dream give him his shit back. He sighed and stood up to face the man looking up at him. “Well what are you waiting for?” He said spreading out his arm exposing his chest and he looked into the soulless eyes of the mask and raised his eyebrow at him just waiting for him to get it done and over with.

Tubbo may have not been able to see Dream’s expression but he could see his body tense up before calming down again. “What are you doing here Tubbo?” He asked instead of just drawing out his sword and killing him there. Tubbo let his arm fall to his side. “It’s quiet here.” God Tubbo hated how miserable he sounded as he talked to him. “Don’t worry ‘bout it though Dream. I was just ‘bout ready to leave anyway.” He shrugged his shoulders slightly at him and before he could get past him Dream asked another question.

“Were you crying?” It almost sounded like he was asking in a mocking tone and that made Tubbo’s hands curl into a fist. “So what if I was? What’s it to you.” He hissed at him, venom oozing in every word he said.

Dream’s put his hands up in surrender. “I didn’t mean anything by it. I was just asking.” Tubbo’s shoulder slumped at that and his head hung low.

“I should really leave now, I’ll be on my way out now.” As he walked past Dream the older male called for him to stop.

“Hey Tubbo!” He turned his head back to him. “If you ever think L’Manberg isn’t the right place for you,” There was slight hesitation before he continued, “You could always join us.” Dream was then walking away and Tubbo was left there alone to mull over his thoughts.

Had Dream just asked Tubbo to betray his friends just as Eret did to them? How would his friends feel about him after that? They all had been furious and heartbroken when Eret betrayed them, how would they react to Tubbo betraying them? They would probably call him naive, say ‘Tubbo, you don’t know what decision you're making. You don’t understand what you're doing.’ Wilbur and Fundy would try to coax him back to them most likely. He thought of what Tommy would do.

What would Tommy do? Would he be treated the same way he treats Eret. Or would Tommy try and get him back over to them? Would Jack Manifold have to hold him back as he lets loose a string of swears? Would Niki cry or be disappointed in him? Probably both.

As Tubbo’s thoughts drowned him like a flood he heard Tommy’s loud and obnoxious voice. He looked up and realized he was already back at the walls of L’Manberg.

When Tommy stopped in front of him his frown deepened. “Where have you been Tubbo! Wil’s pissed at me now for making you run away!” He mumbled a sorry to the younger boy and made his way past him. The only person he felt he could talk to was the person who had hurt him the most.

He knew Tommy hadn’t meant to but it still hurt. He felt a line be crossed and there wasn’t any going back from it. His thought floated back to the offer Dream had made him.

He shut the thought down as fast as it came and he could hear Tommy following him. “C’mon Tubbo! You know I didn’t mean to! I was just joking around! Tubbo! Tuuubbboooo!” But Tubbo kept going until the younger gave up and left he could hear Tommy say under his breath that he should just stop baby raging which made Tubbo stop dead in his tracks.

He whipped around, made his way to Tommy grabbing the front of his uniform and bringing him down to his height. “SORRY If I’m “baby raging” Tommy! I can’t tell if you noticed it or not, but I am fucking pissed! So go say whatever the hell you want! Go complain to Wilbur all you want! I. Don’t. Give. A. Shit.” Tommy was left absolutely dumbfounded as Tubbo stomped off.

Tubbo had left the walls of L’Manberg again and went into plains nearby. He found himself in a meadow inhabited by bees and carefully made his way through. He let himself fall to the ground as he started to sob loudly. He didn’t care if anyone heard. No one would come looking for him. He knew that. Tubbo was too clingy, that’s what Tommy always said. He began to sob even harder as he curled himself into a ball and shut his eyes until the world fell away.

When he opened his eyes again the sky was painted with stars and he groaned. He could hear mobs in the distance and the bees had come to a calm. He got up and left the small meadow. Making his way back to the walls avoiding mobs since he had nothing to defend himself with.

When an arrow whizzed past his head almost hitting him and killing him he duck and sprinted. It was too much of an open space so Tubbo couldn’t take cover behind anything. He felt himself growing tired as he came to a full stop. Bending over hand and knees and slightly heaving. When he heard the skeleton die his head snapped up hoping it wasn’t Tommy.

It was Eret.
