He stepped forward, a smile on his face as he saw two young kids walking away from him, the wooden platform creaking under them.
He took a step, then another, the floorboards beneath him moaning, which caught the kids' attention.
They turned, shock painting their faces at the sight they saw.

Big, wide smiles.

He hugged the back, his smiling growing wider.
"We missed you," Wilbur hugged them tighter.
"I missed you too, Tubbo," A sniffle.
"I've missed all of you," A huff, then a laugh.
Then another laugh, bubbling up into a fit of giggles.
He threw himself back, his back hitting the solid wall behind him as the fmsolid feeling between his arms disappeared.
He clutched his stomach, laughter escaping him, his eyes widening as his smile did the same.

He let out another laugh, dissolving into giggles.

"And I swear on my life, that I'll stay by your side," His hand slowly shuffled its way into his coat pocket.
"Through whatever the world has to throw," He grabbed onto the flint and steel.
