Tubbo finally makes his return!

<><><><><><><><><>

• CHAPTER EIGHTEEN•

° Sweet as Honey °

As soon as Phil opened the door, a brunet boy ducked under his arm, shouting: "Tommy?!"

Tommy's head snapped up and you watched as his eyes watered, reacting with his own shout of "Tubbo!"

So this was Tubbo?

You stay seated, resting your chin on your palm as you watch the two teens embrace tightly, talking over one enough in their excitement. Your chest aches at the sight; reminded of a time you would greet your friends with squeezing hugs.

You watch and listen as the two babble over one enough and you smile.

"This reminds me of how you and Tigra were," Technoblade hummed.

You flinch, "Right," you try not to show how much the name affects you.

("I don't wanna go," she sobbed, choking on blood, "It's not fair.")

("Tigra, please, hold on," you begged, trembling, tears distorting your vision as you pressed tightly; it taking everything in you to ignore the pained squeal at the pressure, "Soon, Sonny will be here soon. Just hold on.")

But Technobblade's frown and Dream turning his head just a bit more towards you shows they had seen the flinch.

"Y/N?"

"It's nothing," you wave off, "Just haven't heard her name in a long time. Took me by surprise."

Your attention is stolen by the sight of Tommy dragging Tubbo towards the table.

"Y/N! This is Tubbo, Tubbo this is Y/N!"

Tubbo smiled shyly, "Hi, thank you for helping Tommy."

You gave him a dazzling smile, "It was my pleasure, Tommy's been good company."

"Good company? Really?" Tubbo gapped and Tommy spluttered causing Tubbo to burst into laughter.

"You bastard!"

But Tubbo just laughed harder, falling into Tommy's side, who huffed and tried to look annoyed. Keyword: tried.

Once the duo had settled down, the rush of emotions at their reunion fading into exhaustion as the sun began to set, you find yourself perching in a seat beside Tubbo as the others (minus Dream who had taken his leave) wandered to the kitchen to making dinner.

(Technoblade had looked baffled at Tommy's eager voicing of helping, Phila had smiled warmly.)

"Thank you again," Tubbo gave you a shy smile, "I haven't seen Tommy look so...happy or full of life like this in a long time."

You return the smile with a gentle one, "You have no need to thank you, Honey. I just happened to be at the first place in the right time, and it's been a pleasure having him around to liven up my home."

Red gathered in Tubbo's cheeks, perhaps at the affectionate petname, you weren't sure but he gave you a dopey smile,  "You're really kind, you know that?"

You let out a quiet, startled laugh. You were far from that, "I try. When you experience a lot of things, not always happy, you learn to treat others how you wish to be treated. Kindness will be repaid with kindness."

Tubbo sucked in a breath, a tremor in his hands and you wonder if you said something that upset him.

"Tubbo?"

"I—Techno said something like that once," he answered shakily.

"Well," you paused, "I did grow up around him, he's bound to rub off on me in some way right? I always admired certain points of his view of the world."

He chuckled softly, trailing off, "Tommy said he wanted to stay with you," there was a sadness that coloured his voice and your chest squeezed.

You swallowed, unsure what to say. He had already told you this, how being away from the SMP would be good for him, how going back and staying wouldn't do him any good at this point in time.

Tubbo continued, "And...I was...I was wondering if it would be okay if...if I could come visit?"

"Oh Honey," You turn, curling your arms around him, rocking him side to side as he sniffled, arms wrapping around your waist tightly, "Of course, you can. My  home will always be open, okay?"

He's sob was muffled in your clothes and you press a kiss to his temple, lightly scratching his scalp as you let him cry it out.
