how to write an essay (tommyinnit x fem reader)
Tumblr media
a/n : may i wish a very happy birthday to tommy... look at him being one year closer to a 18 year old! my boy’s getting big. big. big man. 
 “well... Thomas. that was an interesting essay...” said the english teacher quite unsurely. Tommy still stood in front of the whole class, his arms crossed in a very i-don’t-want-to-be-here manner.
 “but... i’m sure you could have done better. i will not be telling your mark now, as you all know very well they’ll be announced next thursday.” the teacher finished, as a piercing silence lingered in the class.
 however, one person was quite eager, hand up in the air, showing very clearly that their question is really important. the teacher sighed:
 “yes, Y/n?”
 the girl smiled in a very sickly sweet way:
 “thank you, mister Wilson. i would like to start off with how unprofessionaly you reacted to Tommy’s essay. even if a kid did bad on their work, teachers should show the mistakes in a calm and subtle way, as i’m sure that was taught while you were learning to become an educator.”
 the whole class gaped at Y/n’s words - that was obviously not the way someone should talk to a teacher, but everyone seemed to like it, as unbelievable smiles appeared on their faces. Tommy, on the other hand, was standing in a complete trance.
 “Y/n, i-” started mister Wilson, but he was immediately cut off by Y/n’s wave of words:
 “second of all, mister Wilson. i am sure i’m not the only one in this class who thinks Tommy’s essay was really nice. am i?” she looked around her, searching for approval on her classmates’ faces. a lot of them nodded. Tommy still stood in mild shock. 
 “and third and last of all!” called Y/n in a sing-a-song voice, “i am having terrible period cramps, so can i go to the nurse’s office?” she finished, head on her hands and an adorable smile on her face.
 everyone laughed, some people whistled and clapped. this was quite a show.
 “you may go Y/n- but i will have a talk with you after class.” the teacher said, obviously trying to sound threatening. 
 “woohoo, can’t wait!” Y/n said, punching the air triumphantly as her classmates laughed again. she left the classroom with a bang of the door.
~~~~lil time skip for ya’ll~~~~
 Y/n exited the nurse’s office with her tummy feeling a bit better. she made her way over to the next classroom she’ll be having a class in and unlocked her phone, starting to scroll through social media.
 “hey.” someone said, suddenly appearing by her shoulder. the girl looked around and saw Tommy with a nervous grin, clutching his backpack straps.
 “well hello there, mister my-essay’s-really-good-but-my-dumbass-teacher-won’t-tell-me-that!” Y/n said, putting her phone in her hoodie’s pocket, showing she is open for a conversation. Tommy laughed:
 “i just wanted to thank you that you stood up for me during english. that was really pog- i meant cool of you.” he corrected himself nervously. Y/n just giggled and told him to continue.
 “yeah well... i would have done that myself but i have quite a history with saying rude shit to my teachers and i’m scared of my mom, so...” Tommy laughed, and the girl laughed along with him.
 “yeah. i get you man. who wouldn’t be?”
 “true. well, i don’t know if it’s a gift for standing up for me or because you so gladly announced to the whole class that you’re having cramps, but...” the boy took out a bag of hot pockets from his pocket and handed it to Y/n, “i like to believe it’s because of both reasons.”
 “awee, that is like, so sweet of you! thanks!” the girl said happily.
 “sure thing. i know this teachers’ room that’s always unlocked for some reason and there’s a microwave there, wanna go heat your hot pocket there?” Tommy asked, pointing to the direction with his thumb.
 “yeah dude, let’s go! i’m starving.” Y/n laughed. Tommy smiled and started leading the way.
 “oh and by the way. about the “pog” thing. you shouldn’t apologize. after all, i’d also use it accidentaly if i was a twitch streamer with like 5 million followers!” the girl said, punching his arm playfully.
 “wait- you know me?” Tommy asked, quite startled,
 “yeah, of course! everyone knows you!”
 “heh- i guess i’m just not used to people treating me like a normal human being even if they recognized me.” Tommy said, chuckling to himself. he looked at the big smile on Y/n’s face and finally believed that he has met someone very unique and different - in a good way.

Dream SMP Recap (April 9/2021) - Interrogation
Tubbo does some interrogating, hoping to find out the truth about the missing nuke. Foolish joins in.
The mysterious messages continue.

VOD LINKS:
HBomb94
Foolish
Tubbo
TommyInnit
Philza
Captain Puffy
Ranboo
---
- HBomb makes his way from the savannah village back to the main area. He explores around Kinoko and meets with Niki, who shows him her underground city.
- After Niki gets a grass block from an Enderman, HBomb mentions the glitched snow block he got a while back on September 24th, near his parkour challenge: the rarest block in the game. He and Niki leave the city to visit it. 
- They reminisce about how HBomb joined the day of Schlatt’s inauguration, and the subject comes up of HBomb’s other characters.
- HBomb logs out and Thevir logs in. Thevir has arrived in the Dream Land. Rumors say, if you go to a special dream land, a green blob gives you more money than usual. Niki shows him around.
- Tubbo needs a way to interrogate people to figure out where the nuke went. He gathers resources to build.
- He remarks that it seems like the Egg is dying away.
SOMEONE NEEDS
TO TELL HIM
- Tubbo takes supplies from Eret and creates the desk of interrogation. He says he needs to scare people so that they take him seriously. 
HE MUST GO TO
- Tubbo emphasizes that this room is for interrogation, not torture. He tries out different shaders to see what would look scariest
THE NORTH
- Tubbo turns on some acid shaders. He walks around the mansion and remarks that it’s even more cursed looking to the north.
- He goes down to the north gate to see what Foolish is up to and turns off the shaders. He decides to interrogate Foolish and tells Foolish to put all his belongings in two barrels.
- Tubbo leads Foolish to the interrogation room and tells him that he’s lost something valuable and needs Foolish to be honest with him.
IF ANYONE CAN
- When the nuke went missing, Foolish was online. Tubbo tells him only three people were on the server that day. Foolish says he was probably just building that day. 
- Tubbo tells him that the missing “firework” is a very big deal. He asks, if Foolish were to steal something, what his motives would be
- Foolish says he’s just building for people. Tubbo asks about the other kingdom that Foolish is building for, and mentions that Foolish is a citizen of Snowchester. If this other kingdom wanted something of Snowchester’s, would Foolish mention anything?
- Foolish says no. He wouldn’t mention the vault or tell the people of the other kingdom about Snowchester’s “fireworks.” He only mentions things concerning the build.
- Tubbo asks if Foolish has ever seen any strange books. A very distinct book. One with a list of instructions. Foolish says no.
- Tubbo says it was more than just a valuable firework. He thinks Foolish is innocent and tells Foolish to walk with him. He leads Foolish to the confidential nuke factory and shows him.
- Foolish asks if it couldn’t have been stolen before. Tubbo tells him that the nuke was there five minutes before, and Foolish was working on the mansion.
- Foolish insists, though, that he has no motive to steal a nuke, as he’s a pacifist. Tubbo trusts him.
- Who would steal a nuke? Who would be an enemy of Snowchester?
HEAR THIS
- Foolish says there’s no one who seems to be on the war path right now. 
- Tubbo tells him that he needs Foolish to gather reconnaissance on all the places he’s been building for. Foolish mentions that there’s another place that he’s been building for, but it’s a secret...there are too many voices, ears and eyes that could be listening. He’ll have to tell Tubbo later.
- Foolish suggests the Eggpire. He tells Tubbo about this event that the Eggpire is holding, a “bury the hatchet” kind of party. He, Sam and Puffy have been invited so far, but there will be more invitations.
- Whoever stole the nuke, they took a scuffed one. One with a dead man’s snitch. It leaks and poisons nature.
- Foolish asks about Sam. What about the prison guard? Tubbo says that Sam’s been couped up. Foolish says he’s worried about Sam, though. Tubbo tells him they’ll kill him someday, put him out of his misery. It wouldn’t be him.
- Tubbo and Foolish return to the interrogation room.
- Is there anyone who lives far away, where if they stored the nuke near their home, they wouldn’t know? Sam lives far away. HBomb lives far away, and Foolish built a mansion for him too, in the savannah. They should pay H a visit.
- They chase after HBomb (Thevir). They spot Niki at the Community House and think it’s H, following her through the Nether to the underground city.
I STASHED A
- They reach the city and see Niki and Thevir together. The two run, and Tubbo and Foolish pan out to look for them.
- Tubbo and Foolish speak with Niki, who insists that she doesn’t know where HBomb is. Niki says H isn’t here, Thevir is here.
- Niki explained that earlier, she showed H around her city and they went to the L’cast area, at which point HBomb’s game crashed and Thevir joined, and Niki has been showing him around.
- Tubbo and Foolish stumble across Thevir hiding in a corner and talk to Niki, who tells them it’s Thevir and not HBomb.
- Tubbo and Foolish tell Niki they lost a weapon and try to waterboard Thevir. (Thevir says that he’s been tortured before and he’s into this, so it isn’t particularly effective)
- Tubbo and Foolish leave. Thevir could possibly have connections to H.
BOOK
- They head to HBomb’s house in the savannah. Foolish asks who else has been to Snowchester? Puffy, Ranboo -- Tubbo says that wouldn’t be possible -- Sam, Fundy...
- They make it to the mansion. Tubbo asks what direction it’s in -- they find it’s east of Snowchester. They search around.
IT HAS INSTRUCTIONS
- Foolish and Tubbo listen to chat to search places. Foolish says they’re all saying to go north, but he doesn’t know why. Tubbo doesn’t think they should go north.
- They think through more possibilities as they run back through the Nether. Quackity? No, Tubbo says he’s on good terms with Quackity. They have mutual respect.
HE NEEDS TO
- Does Tubbo have any enemies? Tubbo mentions that Phil isn’t the biggest fan of him due to the ankle bracelet, but Phil doesn’t really care.
- Tubbo suggests they go to L’manburg. He’s trying to think of past relations. Who were the enemies of L’manburg?
Dream, Technoblade, and Alivebur
- Would someone take the nuke for money or for power? 
Tubbo: “The power. Everything on this server is about power, Foolish.”
- They reach L’manhole.
- Eret? Foolish says that when he spoke with Eret last, he was looking to a clean start.
Tubbo: “There are some benefits to knowing your insides and out around your country.”
- Tubbo leads Foolish down to the old underground library and panic bunker. They look through the chests. There are still bits of yellow and black concrete, blackstone... Original pieces of the walls.
- He takes Foolish through the tunnel to Pogtopia. Foolish remarks that he’s never been.
Wilbur and Tommy split off during the reign of Manberg. Tubbo built this tunnel to Pogtopia, but it was eventually found out.
- They mention that things have been quite...quiet recently.
- Tubbo shows Foolish the water drop escape into the tunnel, mentioning that he used it to escape death many times.
- They reach Pogtopia.
Foolish: “When you see this, do you see this as happy or sad memories?”
Tubbo: “Conflicting memories.”
- Tubbo shows Foolish the old pit. It’s dark, the lights are out. There’s the old potato farm that Tubbo made for Technoblade. They reminisce about Tubbo and Antfrost being taken hostage.
- They head back.
WAKE UP!
- Tubbo explains to Foolish that he built the bunker before the tunnel to Pogtopia. He shows the tunnel through which Tommy and Wilbur escaped during the inauguration.
- Foolish says it seems like L’manburg was a nice little place. Tubbo shows Foolish all the various escape routes he used. Dream used to hunt him down during the first L’manburg War for independence.
- Foolish can’t imagine it. There were so many little skirmishes that used to happen. Tubbo shows him the old surface entrance to Pogtopia.
- Tubbo leads him over to Technoblade’s old secret base. A significant part of history -- the original vault.
They find that some of the chests still have supplies that haven’t been taken yet.
- Tubbo patches it up a bit
Tubbo: “This is not how this place deserves to be remembered.”
- Foolish asks -- was this a revolution, a rebellion? Tubbo says it was a reclaiming. The revolution.
HE MUST!
- Foolish and Tubbo make it back to the crater. Foolish wonders if there would ever be a community like this again. Tubbo doesn’t think so. Everything’s too complicated now, everyone’s too split apart.
Tubbo: “So all we have now is memories.”
Foolish: “Well, we could always try to make new memories.”
Tubbo: “Yeah, but it won’t be the same.”
- Foolish tells Tubbo that Bad and the others have said that they can start cleaning up the Blood Vines.
- Tubbo leads Foolish down the Prime Path, asking whether he knows who built each of the builds along the route. Tubbo tells him who built each one.
- Tubbo thinks the Final Control Room is now gone.
- He shows Foolish his and Tommy’s old nuclear war bunker.
- They then return to Snowchester and the interrogation room. They haven’t narrowed down the suspects.
WAKE UP!!!!!!
- Foolish asks, what if the nukes were never really stolen, but just moved to a different part of Snowchester?
- Tubbo tells Foolish the mansion is north of the facility. They need to pause their investigation for the time being. 
- Tommy does a birthday stream
- Tommy tells Tubbo that he doesn’t think Ranboo is right for him, and getting married at 17 was a bad idea.
- Ranboo joins the call.
- Tommy leads Tubbo into the ruins of Tubbo’s old house to give him some relationship advice. He thinks Tubbo should rebuild his house and move out.
- He then takes Tubbo to his “secret place.” Ranboo’s just there in the call. He asks where all the Egg has been going. He takes Tubbo to Fundy’s house, where he’s been keeping his things.
- Tubbo gets stuck in a cobweb
- Tommy wants to create a proper vault for his things. Drista gave Tommy many seeds.
- They go to see if the barrier block staircase is still there. 
- Tommy wonders what a good place to hide things would be. He mentions Pogtopia.
- Tubbo leads him to L’manhole. Ranboo appears and gives Tommy a Totem of Undying for his birthday.
- They go down to the tunnel. Tommy tells Ranboo to tell him what problems he and Tubbo are having as they reach Pogtopia.
- Tommy starts mining a room into the wall and puts his riches in a chest. He asks Ranboo to talk about his feelings. 
- They ask Sam for help with a redstone door and talk about TNT cannons. Maybe they could launch one at the prison to get to Dream. Sam comes to Pogtopia. He gives Tommy a few stacks of TNT for his birthday.
- They ride the railway back to L’manburg.
- They try to blow up the POG2020/ASS2020/CRY sign and in the process explode pretty much everything but. Tommy dies and respawns a million blocks away. He can’t break the bed due to mining fatigue. The totem was used up, he just died again and lost all his things.
- The CRY sign is now the Y7 sign
- They decide to work on clearing off Ponk and Punz’s towers of the Blood Vines. Here are some of the more interesting quotes that came up...
“My sacrifices are boneless, man, just like the wings.” - Ranboo
“Moist is just wet without the commitment.” - Ranboo
“God, why did you invent impotence?” - Tommy
“Who’s the god of English?”  “Shakespeare?”
“The mouth sounds are the reason why we can’t remember!” - Ranboo
“How do you reckon you’ll die?” - Tubbo
“Volcano.” - Tommy
- Afterwards, they head over to Ranboo’s house. The instant Phil logs on, Tommy logs off.
- Phil, Ranboo and Tubbo hang out at the Arctic.
- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wishes Tommy a happy birthday and tells him to drink tequila.
- Ranboo fills a whole barrel full of totems.

To Tommyinnit!
Hello, I’m Ghostbur! I was missing you a lot today, so I wrote this letter! You can’t read it right now, and I do hope you won’t get to read it for a long, long time, but they say writing your feelings down is a good way to think. I haven’t written many letters, but I think I should start by saying I’m sorry. It was very rude of me to leave without saying goodbye. It wasn’t on purpose! But I am still sorry. I know you said you didn’t want Alivebur to come back, but I know you care about him. I hope the resurrection worked and you two are getting along again. I hope it turned out okay for you.
Things turned out better than expected for me! I thought if Alivebur got resurrected, I’d disappear into the void and be alone forever, or that I might just stop existing all together. I was really, really scared Tommy. And for a little bit, I could feel myself falling into the void. But someone caught me.
Did you know Philza Minecraft’s wife is Death? I’m not sure why, but I could have sworn his wife was a refrigerator! I like her much better this way, though. Mumza is a very nice lady and she took me to her home! Its very nice here. She has a big library full of stories, and she says I’m good at music, and there are birds everywhere. She treats me like family, but she doesn’t call me Wil. She says I’m my own person. Its taken getting used to, but I think I like it.
I still miss you, and Philza, and Technoblade and Friend and everyone. I still dream about L’Manberg. Even though this is my home now, I still get homesick for the old times. Mumza says I’ll see you all again someday, but since she’s Death I think maybe she’s talking about when you all die. Don’t rush for me! I can wait, and when you do finally come, we can share so many stories. I hope you find that happy ever after you deserve.
PS. Take care of Friend for me! :)
Love, Ghostbur!
Dear Ghostbur,
So this is pretty stupid because I know you’ll never get this letter (considering you’re dead and shit) but Puffy told me that sometimes writing out my feelings is better than speaking them. I’ve never really been good at speaking (or writing) things so I thought I’d give it a go because I’m the best.
I’m sorry I got you ki
I feel gui
I want to thank you, man. For everything. I don’t want to get sappy because Tubbo might find it or something and I think I would rather blow up a country (sorry not sorry) than him read this but you were kind of there for me when nobody else was. In exile, even if you fucked off halfway through but that actually wasn’t your fault and I don’t really hold it against you. When I got out of prison. When I was alone. When I thought I had nobody. You can tell I’ve been to therapy because I’m being open and honest about my feelings which isn’t exactly something I’d done before coz Wilbur and Philza are shit at feelings and never open up about anything (which actually makes me better than them because I’m at therapy and they’re not. Sucks to be them. They’re dumb.)
But yeah. Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for sticking by me even when I was horrible to you a lot of the time sometimes. You were a lot nicer to me than Wilbur was, and I think I took a lot of my feelings towards him out on you at times, which was a bit shit of me. He’s still dead, by the way. I thought maybe when you died, he’d come back, and I was really scared not really sure what to think if he did. But he didn’t, so now I’m just kind of brotherless. Which is fine, you know, brothers fuck off every so often, but it was lonely for a while. 
I’m not alone anymore, though. There’s this kid - her name is Henry (yes like the cow, fuck off) - and she’s kind of mine? Now I’M like the big brother which is fucking weird, but she’s cool. You would have liked her, I think. Her favourite colour is blue, and she has a toy sheep that she calls Buddy (think she got that from you, though I have no idea how). Puffy told me to tell you that I’m happy because she was trying to ask me what you’d say if I told you that, but I told her I didn’t think you’d say anything. I think you’d’ve hugged me, and I think you would’ve cried, even though crying hurts you, but it would’ve been happy tears.
It’s nice not being alone. I hope you’re not alone, wherever you are. You won’t be alone for too long - I’ll be coming up before you know it, I mean, fucking hell, I’m twenty now. I think. (I still don’t know when my birthday is actually but Philza Minecraft says I’m twenty and he’s never wrong), but I hope maybe someone is with you. Maybe Wilbur? I dunno how well you’d both get on, but I think even someone is better than no one. 
Fuck me, man, this is so rambly. This is the first time I’ve spoken about you properly to anyone. Well. I guess I’m technically just speaking to myself, actually. But maybe one day when I die when I’m old like Philza you’ll see this and then you’ll think I’ve gone all soft (WHICH I’VE NOT BY THE WAY). But I just wanted to let you know that I think I’ve got my happy ending, even after fucking everything over the past few years. I think I’m finally happy. I have a family, a proper family, and I have my friends, and the server is at peace.
If you see Dream by the way, tell him I 
Hope you’re having a good time in Heaven, big man. I mean. If you got into Heaven. Coz if you didn’t and you’re in Hell then I’ve got no fucking chance. And I don’t fancy the big flaming ground pit
Does Heaven even exist?
Getting all existential again holy shit.
Anyways. I’m going for dinner at Tubbo’s (WHO HAS A KID TOO CALLED MICHAEL) and Henry’s coming in from school (we finally have a fucking education system in this place) so I’m going to leave it here. Cheers again for everything, seriously. I’m sorry things ended the way they did, and I hope you get peace, because if anyone deserves it, it’s you.
Thank you for being my brother when I needed one the most
Miss you a lot
TOMMY. (AKA Big Man, AKA Big T, AKA Biggest T.)

Drown your sorrows - part 7
Grab your tissues dude, this one is not a happy one at all. I'm sorry in advanced
special shout out to my pal @hufflepuffkilljoy for helping me with some details for this chapter. I also feel like they’re going to kill me after reading this so wish me luck.
Masterlist
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tommy is fortunate enough to stay conscious this time.
It's a lot warmer than the warehouse was and he's still just as afraid.
But he feels more prepared for the heat now.
Tubbo was so close to the first explosion, too close. Tommy watches the blast separate them and he can hear his friends desperate coughs from across the burning room. He can't get up, his wrist is hurt and his injured leg burns every time he tries to put pressure on it. He calls for Tubbo but he doesn't think his friend can hear him between his endless coughing and the roaring flames.
He's so thankful Tubbo isn't alone when Eret finally shows, the older man slips masks on both of them and they huddle together for a moment before Tommy hears something explode below them. He tries to cling to Eret as he reaches for Tubbo and they all plummet down into freezing water.
He and Eret sink into the water and the harshness of it makes Tommy gasp. 
Water seeps in through his mask and the tightness of it makes him panic
He attempts to take the mask off, as if that might make him less disorientated.
It's doesn't
He takes a big gulp of water into his mouth and suddenly he can't stop.
He's drowning.
His limbs flail about and he cant help but scream into the water as pain ruptures through him. He keeps taking in more and more water and his lungs spasm as they fill with murky liquid. Tommy doesn't know where he is, it's dark and cold and he doesn't know which way is up and if his body wasn't already submerged in water he thinks he might cry.
Tommy doesn't want to die
There are so many things he hasn't done yet, so many things he hasn't said.
He wanted to take Tubbo to his favorite place in the city and go adventuring through the abandoned buildings Dream used to let him demolish when he was angry or upset. He wanted to tell his best friend in the whole word that he loved him, that they were brothers until the end. He never really had the courage to say it before now, thought it would make him sound childish and weird. ( Really he was just afraid that Tubbo wouldn't feel the same, and he wasn't ready to let his best friend go just yet. )
He wanted to thank Wilbur for taking him into l’manburg, for trusting him and becoming the older brother figure he never thought he needed ( or wanted ). For teaching him how to properly aim a gun and negotiate something without shouting, for letting him become the heir to the empire they built. 
He thinks about all the movie nights with fundy and Eret, remembers popcorn fights and sleepovers, baking competitions and playing video games till early dawn. He remembers waking up from nightmares and talking to Eret about his scars, sharing the good and the bad with each and every one of them.
As the seconds roll past, Tommy can feel himself suffocating. His lungs fill with more and more water and his body starts to shut down, the pain is everywhere and nowhere and slowly he becomes blissfully aware that he is going to die here.
In the back of his mind he hopes that dream knows he’s forgiven. If he’s going to die he might as well forgive the man, he knows deep down that dream never wanted any of this and he hopes that his death will spark something in the man, and prevent the bloodshed of his friends.
The last thing on Tommys mind before the darkness swallows him is Technoblade, and he wonders if he’ll finally see him again when he goes to sleep.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“How old were you when you first killed someone?”
“Jeezus Tubbo what the hell dude.”  
Tommy swats at his best friend who's laying next to him on the wooden floor. They're all laying on piles and blankets and duvets and tucked up in sleeping bags like campers. Popcorn crumbs litter the floor and Tubbo has kernels stuck in his hair after he used the bowl as protection from Tommy throwing pillows at him.
The group decided to have a sleepover to commemorate Wilbur's birthday, all of them laid in a circle around the couches in wilburs living room and Wilbur almost regrets letting them into his house.
Tommy and Tubbo are layed on the floor, heads close to each other facing opposite directions. Tommy is smiling as he flails his arms at the other boy and has his feet resting in Erets lap. Fundy is on Erets left, curled up in 3 blankets like a burrito, a clear sign of Wilburs handiwork after someone made a joke about fundy being wilburs child.
Wilbur himself is half paying attention to the movie they all put on as background noise as he tries not to look like he’s actually enjoying the night his boys had planned.
Nobody spoke at first, no one was really quite sure what to say. Eventually, Wilbur took a breath and spoke in a slight monotone. “fifteen.”
Even though they may have been concerned, nobody was quite as surprised as maybe they should have been. It was a rough line of work, it wasn't really a shock to anyone that their leader had started so young.
“Robbery gone wrong, cops came earlier than expected. Shot one to save myself, nothing more to it.”
Fundy pokes his head out of his blanket burrito a little more and rests his head on his knees. “Got in a fight back in the Netherlands when I was eighteen, ended badly for the other guy.”
Eret is a bit more hesitant to respond but with a reassuring nudge from Tommy, he gives the teen a small smile and takes a breath. “Got involved with a super serious gang back in England when I was sixteen.”
He doesn't say anything more but nobody really blames him. Eret never really talks about his time back in England much, but the team sees the way he gets nervous around cameras and always makes sure he can never be traced wherever he goes. Everyone is running from something, it's why most of them came to America after all.
Tommy doesn't realize it's his turn until he’s noticed everyone's looking at him.
He laughs and swats at Tubbo for a second time. “It's your question you go first.”
Tubbo looks at his friend strangely but shakes it off and reaches to grab a handful of crisps. “Ummm, technically I haven't.”
Tommy listens to his best friend shove a handful of crisps in his mouth and his throat goes dry, he only distantly hears Fundy ask Tubbo a question but his thoughts seem to drown everyone out. 
He knows he has two options here. He knows that lying is the safest one for him, that he could just follow along with what Tubbo said and just get it over with. But he feels compelled to let the truth just spill out of his mouth and let everything into the world. He can't help it when the words start falling from his lips, he so desperately wants to shove everything back into the box he’s kept everything in for years and go back to the fun loving, annoying Tommy everyone knows.
But instead he just had to open his stupid mouth like he always does.
“I uhh, I killed mum.”
Shit
Shit
Shit
“She uhh, bled out, when I was born.”
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
“So yeah uhh, I guess I win.”
The room is silent, and he’s brought out of his head by Eret rubbing small comforting circles into the bottom of his leg.
“Tommy.”
He really wishes he hadn't spoke
“You know that couldn't have possibly been your doing.”
Wow the ceiling is really interesting
“Tommy.”
He can't speak. If he speaks he’s going to cry and he can't cry. 
Tommyinnit doesn't cry.
He feels Tubbo moving to wrap and arm around him and he really wants to just not be here.
He’s lying on the floor of his bosses friends house, crying in front of the people he cares about most about because he couldn't keep his fucking mouth shut.
Tommy feels himself moving and slowly more and more arms are around him. He feels a blanket being draped over him and suddenly he finds himself sobbing into someone's chest.
Someone is running their hand through his hair and he wonders if that's something his mother would have done for him.
Sometimes he wishes life was different, that maybe he might have had a better childhood if his mother had been in his life for longer than three seconds.
But as he feels his own tears soak into one of his friends' shirts, he thinks that maybe his life ain't so bad.
And later in the night when he's stood on Wilbur's kitchen counter with Erets glasses hanging off his face singing loudly to random Hamilton songs with his friends, he knows he wouldn't change it for the world.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tommy wakes up confused and coughing.
He can feel the water spluttering out of his mouth and he feels like he's throwing up his organs.
He’s vividly aware that something doesn't feel right
He feels wrong and disorientated and,,,
He’s underwater?
Tommy flails his limbs about and in a matter of seconds he surfaces into darkness
He coughs up all of the water that's been sloshing about in his lungs and his throat stings as fresh air floods into his body.
Through all the coughing and the sound of water in his ears, he hears a voice calling him.
“Tommy!”
He turns his head to find Eret also treading water on the other side of a mountain of rubble, he has a large gash on the side of his head that looks like it would have dried by now if not for the water continuously splashing against it. His glasses are nowhere to be seen and Erets looking at him like he knows something Tommy doesn't.
“Tommy thank god you're okay.”
Tommy swims over to where Eret is still floating and takes a moment to examine the rubble surrounding his friend. 
Most of it seems to be concrete and rocks piled up around him, but the two big metal pipes separating him and Eret are what concern him. And the fact that Eret hasn't made an attempt to move past them.
"Where's tubbo?"
"He swam over that direction, tried to find a way out I think."
"Why didn't you follow him."
"Tommy."
"Come on we can't just leave him to look on his own. He'd get lost in a bloody parking lot."
Tommy wraps his hands around one of the pipes and attempts to push it out of the way.
Eret doesn't move.
"Tommy I,"
"Waters rising, gotta move this thing before Tubbo ends up swimming into someone's toilet."
The younger boy changed angles and tried to pull the other pipe towards him.
"Tommy."
He feels Eret place his hand on top of his own but the younger boy swats it away and keeps trying to force the pipes out of the way.
“Come on man, just, just try.”
Eret grabs his hand again.
“Just help me okay!”
Water splashes up Tommys nose and he feels tears pricking at his eyes
“Just, Just do something! Please! please” 
Eret grabs a hold of both of tommys hands and holds him as close as the barrier of rubble will let him.
“Please. I can't lose you too.”
Erets voice is soft and calming. Tommy wants him to laugh and point at him and tell him how this is all just a big joke and they can all go home together and watch movies on Wilburs couch.
But he doesn't
“Hey it's okay, you're not gonna lose me alright. I will always, always be with you, no matter what.”
“Don't give me that bullshit. I don't want you in my heart or looking down on me, I want you to stay here, alive.”
“I want that too Tommy, more than anything. But life doesn't always go the way we want it to.”
Eret coughs and shivers in the water, he looks up and realizes that neither of them have a lot of time left before the water fills the room. They both know Tommy can't stay here any longer, and it's only a matter of time before the coldness of the water gives him hypothermia.
“You need to go.”
“No.”
“Tommy.”
“No I am not leaving you here!”
“You don't have a choice Tommy!”
“Yes I do! Now help me move these goddamn pipes”
“For fuck sake Tommy! I am stuck down here! Those pipes aren't going to move and I'm not leaving this fucking basement. You need to go, now!”
“I-”
“Tommy you are my brother and I will always love you but you need to get the fuck out of here right now.”
“Tommy, Eret!”
“Down here.”
Eret hears Wilbur jump down into the freezing water and he can faintly see him swimming towards him and Tommy.
“You guys okay?”
“Yes now get him out of here.”
“I said no!”
“What about you.”
“I'll be fine just go.”
Wilbur takes a moment, a moment of weakness, a moment of emotion and sadness and he looks at Eret, his friend. He feels the water clog his nostrils and nods, with his heart heavy and his mind full, he drags a tired and freezing Tommy away.
“Wilbur let me go!”
“We can't leave him!”
“we have to help him!”
“Wilbur!”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later on when everyone's safe and dry and the adrenaline and panic has left his system, Wilbur finds himself gazing up at his reflection in his bathroom mirror. Every time he looks at himself all he can see is the look in his friends eyes before he left him to drown, he remembers the hurt in his face and his willingness to die just to see Tommy safe. Every time he closes his eyes it's all he sees.
Wilbur stands up tall and strong in front of himself and plasters on the face of a warrior, a face that dream and George and sapnap will forever fear. He vows on this day that he will teach them what true fear feels like, no more kind words or friendly disputes.
He doesn't care about making allies or keeping peace.
His city is in danger
His mind is broken
His friends are traumatized
Eret is dead
And Wilbur wants vengeance.
If dream wants war, he’ll give him war.
