You softly opened your eyes.
You were met with sunlight. Birds chirped just outside the window, as you laid flat on a small bed.
The sunlight was blinding at first, and you rose your hand to your eyes to cover it. That's when you take notice of the bandages wrapped around your arms.
However.. despite the peaceful quiet around you, several emotions swept through you suddenly.
You needed a moment to cry.
It wasn't a hard cry, but rather a quiet one. You let a few tears slip down your eyes and down past your ears, dropping to the pillow underneath. Your bandaged hands wiped your eyes after a few minutes, trying to relax.
Soon enough, you rose from your pillow. You noticed a plate of your favorite breakfast food on the table across you, along with a note.
Getting up, you take the note and read it.
"Good morning, (Y/N)!
I made you breakfast! You were pretty knocked out, so everyone's outside waiting for you. Hope the food's good! Love you, kiddo!
~Phil <3"
You smile at the note, and eat the food. It was delicious! Just how you liked it.
Once you were done, you got dressed and headed out of the room. You didn't recognize the house you were in, but the indications around you made you think it was Phil's.
Walking over to the front door, you opened it, and immediately heard the sounds of your friends.
"-Come on, Tommy, tell us!"
"No! It's our private business, you can't know-"
"But we wanna hear how you two got together!!"
"Tubbo, for the last time, I'm not-"
You chuckled, deciding to barge in.
"I confessed through a letter."
Everyone outside turned to you. There was Tubbo, Ghostbur, Phil, Ranboo, and even Techno.
Tommy was the first to rush to you, hugging you tightly.
"Darling! You're awake!"
Tubbo's eyes sparkled at your interaction, and Phil crossed his arms.
"How was breakfast?"
"It was great, Phil! Thank you.."
Phil smiled warmly.
"Your welcome, kid. Anything for the family."
You matched his same smile after that, almost brought to tears. You suddenly felt a cold breeze next to you, and you noticed Ghostbur hugging your side.
"Hello, (Y/N)! I hoped you slept well! Phil said you slept quite a lot, so I was a bit worried about you- But you're awake, and now I'm not worried anymore!"
You smiled at Ghostbur, doing your best to hug him back.
"No need to worry, I'm okay.."
"(Y/N)?"
Tommy tapped you on the shoulder, and you turned to him curiously.
"I was wondering if, uh.. we could-.. go somewhere? You and I for a bit?"
You smiled at Tommy, nodding your head.
"Sure!"
Techno chuckled.
"You guys spend some time together, we'll be at the meeting place. Tommy, you know where."
Tommy nods, and soon everyone exits. Leaving the both of you alone, Tommy took both of your hands into his, and held them up. He unrolled your sleeves, and gently caressed your bandaged arms.
"How.. do you feel?"
You sighed, shaking a bit.
"I had a good cry when I woke up, but.. it doesn't hurt, at least not physically. It's just.. painful to look at."
Tommy nodded, and he rolled your sleeves back down, covering most of the bandages.
"It'll heal. Come on, I wanna take you somewhere."
•
Tommy held your hand as he walked with you, and you gasped at seeing something familiar in the distance.
"The bench..!"
"Yeah! Turns out, Tubbo snagged the discs for me during the uh- the whole commotion, and he gave them to me this morning."
He turns to you with a hopeful smile.
"If you want, we can listen to Mellohi now! You haven't heard it yet, so.."
Your eyes go dark, and Tommy stops walking. He sees this hesitation in you.
".. Bad memories?"
".. It's just.. Dream played Mellohi a lot when he held me captive.. I've already heard it enough."
Tommy nodded, but soon made a smile.
"Then how about Cat?"
You smile at this name, getting good memories.
".. I'd like that a lot."
Tommy beamed with a smile, guiding you to the bench. Once he sat you down, he pulled out Cat, and put it in the jukebox.
Sitting back next to you, he snuggled into you, wrapping his arms around your waist. You rested your head on top of his, and wrapped one arm around him.
The soft wind passed through your hair, and the warm sunlight shined down on the both of you. Your eyes closed, taking in more of the feeling before you.
".. You remember the first time we listened to Cat?"
"Yeah, I do. I was a flustered mess."
You snickered.
"Really?"
"Mhm.. I got to see a really pretty side of you that day. Seeing you smile and really get a feel of the music is fucking adorable."
Turning to Tommy, you smiled.
"You wanna know what I remember?"
"What?"
"I remember when you called me adorable. I saw how your eyes looked in the sunlight. They.. almost turned green. Maybe a reflection thing, but still super pretty."
Tommy gained a blush on his face, rubbing his cheek awkwardly.
"God, you're such a sap."
"Says you! Who calls me nicknames every 5 minutes?"
"I do not! It's more like 7 minutes!"
You laughed at this, and soon Tommy joined in on the laughter. Once the laughter settled, he cupped your cheek.
Slowly, he gave you a short but sweet kiss on the lips, then rested his forehead on yours.
".. I love you, (Y/N). I love you more than you know."
You smiled, closing your eyes.
"I love you most, Tommy."
The silence echoed as you both just took in the presence of the other, with calm smiles on your faces.
Then suddenly, you hear slow clapping.
Tommy immediately gets up from the bench, growing defensive. But when he turned around to the source of the noise, his posture faltered.
"Oh my god, you guys actually did it! And you made it work!"
You froze at the voice, and stand up to look. Tommy was just as flabbergasted as you were, as you both stared with shock at the person before you.
Tommy only muttered a word.
".. Ghostbur..?"
"What? Oh, pssh, I'm not Ghostbur. He went off with the others, don't you know?"
"Then.. y-you're.."
The ghost smiled. He raised out his arms.
"Hello, did you miss me?"
Tommy was almost brought to tears.
".. Wilbur..?"
"Honestly, Tommy, I thought one of you was going to die. I thought Dream would've slaughtered (Y/N) right where she stood."
Wilbur put his hands in his pockets.
".. I thought I was gonna see either of you in the void with me. But, look at you both now.. You actually got together, yes?"
Tommy hesitated.
"U-Uh.. yeah..- We uh.. did.."
Wilbur's smile softened, as he tilted his head.
"I was worried you wouldn't, honestly."
You and Tommy look at Wilbur in confusion, as he explains.
"The whole 'blowing up L'manburg' thing? I was terrified it would crush your chance of getting together. But.. maybe I was wrong. Maybe it brought you two closer."
Wilbur's smile grew.
"And I'm so proud of you both. Words cannot describe how proud, and how joyous I am for you two. Not only because of your relationship actually kicking off, but because.. you won. You won against Dream, and in a way that I didn't expect.
You did it. You put him in prison! Honestly, I think that's hilarious, but that's besides the point- ..Tommy? (Y/N)?"
You and Tommy's posture straightened, as Wilbur paused. His smile was still very soft, as he beamed.
".. Well done. You deserve your happy ending. Go and be kids, forget about wars and ruling a country. Go be kids! Go be in love, spend time with friends and family- ..Don't focus on L'manburg anymore. Focus on life.
That's all I want. I don't wanna be revived, or remembered for all the bad shit I've done. I just wanna be able to watch you guys live your best lives.
Can you both do that for me?"
Tears begun to slip down both you and Tommy's cheeks, as you nodded.
Wilbur smiled. He knelt down, and opened his arms. Immediately, you and Tommy rushed to hug him. You and Tommy begun to cry in his shoulders, weeping your sorrows.
"I-.. Damn it, Wil, I miss you man..! I'm sorry about everything that happened, I just- I want you back already! I-.."
"Tommy, Tommy.. these things happen. It's gonna be okay.. You have Ghostbur here, don't you? I know he isn't fully me, but spend time with him okay?"
You look at Wilbur, also crying.
"But.. We do really miss you.. You were like my brother.. Why can't you stay..?"
"As much as I want to, (Y/N)... I can't. Afterlife's rules. But, you know what? It'll be okay. Just listen to my words before I go."
Wilbur's hands cupped both you and Tommy's cheeks, as he smiled at you.
"Take care of everyone for me, and be happy. I'm so proud of what you've done, and how much you've grown. My brother, and my new sister in law.. I love you both. I'm always gonna be here, even when you can't feel or see me anymore.
Be happy. Go be free. Be kids again.
Do that for me, okay?"
You and Tommy nod, accepting his words.
"We will."
Wilbur smiled, as his transparent body slowly begun to fade away.
"Goodbye Tommy, (Y/N).. I'll see you soon, okay?"
"See you soon.. brother."
And just like that, Wilbur faded away. The breeze around you became soft again, signaling Wilbur's departure.
Tommy took a moment to rub his eyes, wiping the tears, and you put a hand to his shoulder.
"No, no, I'm-.. I'm okay, just.. recovering."
You nodded, and held out your arms. He slowly sunk into you, wrapping his arms around your body.
".. This really is it, huh (Y/N)? It's over?"
"It's over.."
"We can.. go on dates now.. Go and-.. play, without any worry.."
"Mhm.. no more fighting.. no more country work.."
".. No more Dream. No more explosions. Just us."
Tommy smiled.
"I'm glad it's just you and me now."
