Tommy's POV

I lay down on my bed in my tent. I let out a sigh thinking about my old friends. I smile as I remember Business Bay and when we would scam everyone. I let out a silent sob as I curl into a ball.

"Tommy." Dream says in freting as he walks into my tent.

"Hey Dream." I falter as I say his name.

"What are you doing?" he asks.

"I'm thinking." I reply.

"Of?" he asks.

"Business Bay. My only real friends besides you." I whisper weakly.

"I've told you. I'm your ONLY real friend Tommy." he growls.

"I'll always have them. They will forever be there." I growl back in their defense.

"TOMMY." Dream says venom seeping into his voice.

"NO." I hiss as I stand from my bed angrily.

He growls and I flinch as I let out a whine. I wince and back up slightly.

"I am your ONLY friend. No one else cares. They ALL hate you." he growls slightly.

I flinch as I back up again my tail wrapping around my leg. I let out another whimper as I let out a soft sob as I continue to back up. He reaches out for me and I flinch. I shake my head and let out a growl and my tail swishes angrily. He brings his hand to his sword and pulls it out. My eyes widen then I squeeze them shut.

"Deo. Help me. Please." I sob out as I raise my hands to try and protect myself.

I hear Dream yelp and I feel someone pull me into a comforting hug. I open my eyes and I let out a sob of relief seeing Wisp. I latch onto him and sob harder.

"Get the **** away from him!" I hear Deo yell as Dream hisses in pain and anger.

"D-Deo. W-Wisp." I sob as I let myself melt into Wisp's arms.

"I'm right here Tommy. So is Deo. Luke is at home getting your room ready. Blitz is helping him. Lyze is cooking dinner." I hear him whisper softly as he holds me.
I latch onto him harder as I let myself sob in relief knowing that I'm safe now.

"Shh my king we're here. No one can hurt you know. They'll have to get through all of us." Wisp whispers softly as he picks me up in his arms bridal style.

"Deo! Leave the monster alone and open the portal. We need to get the king home!" Wisp whisper yells.

I smile knowing I'm safe with them.

I let myself drift into sleep as we walk through the portal to SMPEARTH.

When I open my eyes I sit up slowly as I look around. Realization hits that I'm HOME. I smile and recognize that I'm in my room. I get up and walk towards the door opening it to peak out. I see Lyze sitting on the couch on her laptop eyes filled with rage. She must be working or losing at tetris. Most likely the first one. I make myself known by opening my door making it squeak. Her head shot up, eyes cold and stormy but when she sees me her eyes go warm and calm. She smiles and motions for me to come sit next to her.
"How are you feeling?" Lyze asks me as she closes her laptop.
"I feel fine a little sore. But other than that." I reply smiling as I lay my head on her shoulder.

She smiles and pulls the blanket that was on her lap over our shoulders. My tail flicks happily as I let out a purr of happiness. I hear her sigh and feel her put her arm over my shoulders as she pulls me closer. I let myself relax as I bask in her warmth.

"Lyzeth? What are y-." Deo freezes as he sees us.

He sighs and I can feel him shake his head and rolls his eyes as he draps another blanket over us again. He sits on the single seat and pulls a book out of his inventory as he smiles and pulls another blanket onto his lap as he starts to read. I purr again as he looks up and smiles at me and waves before looking back at his book. I let myself fall asleep with a smile on my face.

When I woke up for the second time that day

I open my eyes and the first thing I see is Deo, Wisp, and Lyze all sitting on the floor playing UNO as they chat and joke. Deo looks up and his eyes widen behind his glasses.

"Hey Tommy. Are feeling okay?" Deo asks as he stands and frets over me.

"I'm okay! Really Deo. I'm okay!" I say smiling as Lyze makes him sit down and sighs giving me a smile.

"Tommy. Glad to see you're okay." Wisp tells me smiling.

I join in on the game of UNO and Deo keeps glancing at me occasionally still concerned as I destroy them all in the card game. I sigh and place the cards in my hands down and look pointedly at Deo.

"I'm fine." I state as I tilt my head tail flicking behind me.

I start to fidget as they stare at me blinking in confusion. I start muttering apologies as I shrink under their gazes. Lyze blinkes tilting her head in confusion as her tail flicks behind her. Her eyebrows are scrunched in concern and confusion. I realize that I'm safe and let myself and I try to play it off as being cold. "What did they do to you?" Lyze growls.

I tell her as I bask in the warmth on the couch afterwards.
"I'm killing someone." Lyze growls baring her fangs.

I hear noises of confirmation from everyone as Luke and Blitz had come in per Lyze's request before I started to explain. I make a noise of confusion when they all vowed to get revenge on everyone who hurt me. I start shaking my head and tell them that I wasn't worth it.

"Stop making yourself seem like you aren't important! You are our leader and friend! Of course we want to hurt whoever hurt you!" Lyze exclaims as she bares her fangs angrily as everyone else makes noise of agreement again.

I sigh and smile fondly as I make it known that I agree but that I just want to spend time with them for a time. Lyze nods and smiles softly. They all agree and say that they won't try anything without my approval. We spend the rest of the day laughing and joking and talking about Auradon(name of the kingdom).

When I wake up I see a crown with a note.

'To: Our King

From: Your People

We all agreed that when you are ready that you will be crowned king if that is what you want. We hope that you will accept but it is your choice.'

I let out a sob of joy
I let out a sob of joy. I already know the answer.

When I walk out of my room after changing and putting on the crown and walk into the living room. The others were sitting on the floor and couch talking. When I walk in they all look up and their eyes widen when they see the crown. I smile and rub my neck as I smile nervously.

"So what do you say?" Lyze asks after a moment of awkwardness.

I nod and make a motion towards the crown on my head. Lyze cheers and grins as she rambles about how I'll lead us to greatness. I sigh and smile as I make a noise of joy. Both of our tails wagging in joy. It'll take me a while but I know that we can claim the DreamSMP for Auradon.

Tommy’s POV 

I sit in my room as I finish carving healing and protective runes into the necklace I’m making for Tubbo. I sigh and look at the time seeing that it’s 2 AM. I feel a sudden wave of tiredness. 

“What are you doing awake?” I hear a smooth voice drawl. 

I jolt and look up seeing Dream. My eyes widen and I back up. Reaching for my sword when he brings out an axe pointing at me. I tense up, holding up my hands necklace still in my hands. 

“I asked you a question, Toms .” He snaps causing me to flinch. 

“I lost track of time. How did you get out of prison?” I mumble not looking at him. 

“Not important. Get packed.” Dream orders and I hurry to follow the demand, scared that he’ll hurt me. 

“Take everything of importance to you.” He tells me stiffly. 

“Why?” I whimper weakly as I start to pack. 

“Shut up and don’t ask questions.” He snaps making me flinch. 

“Why are you cooperating?” he asks after a moment. 

“To be completely honest I’m terrified of what you’ll do if I don’t.” I mutter softly. 

“You’re scared of me then?” the man in green asks, smirking behind his mask. 

“Yes. I honestly and truly am TERRIFIED of you.” I mutter emphasizing ‘terrified’. 

“Why?” Dream asks. 

“You’re the admin and are a fighting legend especially in 2B2T! You beat one of ours in a FAIR FIGHT!” I exclaim fanboying slightly. 

“Ours?” he asks as he motions for me to follow him. 

I freeze and look down, staying quiet. 

“I can’t tell you what that means.” I whisper praying to Irene he doesn’t force me to.

“Are you done?” I nod. “Good come on then.” He finishes coldly. 

I follow him quietly as I fiddle with my necklace that my sister made me before I joined the server. 

“What are you working on?” Dream demanded quietly as we walk through the forest and I curled in on myself. 

“I was making jewelry for some of my friends with runes.” I whisper softly. 

“ You know runes?” Dream demands turning to me. 

“Yeah! My fiance(Platonic DEOINNIT) taught me ages ago!” I exclaim forgetting who i’m talking to and start to rant about how cool my fiance is.

“Maybe I’ll find him and bring him here. Force him to teach me runes.” Dream mutters.

“I could always teach you!” I say before realizing who I’m talking to. 

“Oh? You would?” Dream asks as he puts his arm around me smirking. 

“Yeah.” I mutter softly tensing up. 

“Goodnight.” Dream coos as he brings his sword hilt down on my head. 

“Good morning!” Dream coos softly as I open my eyes. 

I groan and move to get up but I feel something on my ankles. I blink blearly before laying down. 

“I’m too tired to deal with this BS.” I mutter as I put my arm over my eyes. 

“Toms.” I hear a voice coo as I move my arms and yelp when I see Dream staring at me.
“Where am I?” I question tilting my head slightly. 

“You seem oddly calm for being kidnapped.” Dream tells me. 

“You’d be surprised how common this was.” I mutter. 

“Like I get it I was close to Techno but that was only because of Phil! Techno never liked me!” I exclaim exasperated as I drag my hand through my hair. 

“I also remember a few other times that I don’t remember the reason why.” I mutter softly. 

“I remember Orange, blue, grey, and a darker shade of blue.” I mutter as my head starts to pound and a christmas hat, a grey mask, a blue jacket, a bright blue tie, and a black and purple smiley mask flashes and I pass out. 

‘Hey Toms! Look, we finished the build!’ I look around and my eyes widen because this place seems familiar. 

‘Really let me see!’ I hear myself ask. 

The person in the grey mask tugs me along as he grins. I feel myself roll my eyes as I follow him waving to other people as I pass by. 

‘Wow that looks amazing #!${ !’ I hear myself say but it becomes distorted at the name. 

“Welcome back to the land of the living Tommy.” Dream hisses as I stir. 

“Ugh. My head hurts.” I mutter as I sit up and look around. 

I pause when I see a photo of the Dream Team. 

“I knew you still cared. No one can get rid of attachments that easily.” I mutter turning to look at Dream smirking. 

“I remember because Wisp told me that once!” I say happily. 

“Who’s Wisp ?” Dream questions. 

I freeze and I get a headache. 

“Frie- Home- Family- Remember.” I mutter softly clutching my head. 

“Really I doubt anyone would want to be your friend.” He states matter of factly. 

“They aren’t friends” I pause “They’re home, They’re HOME .” I finish in a slight growl. 

“I miss home.” I whisper softly. 

I hear an explosion and everything goes black again. I open my eyes and see that I’m dreaming again. 

‘Wisp stop yelling at Blitzel and help me with this!’ I yell. 

‘F*** you!’ Another smooth voice yells as I giggle. 

‘I love y’all’ 

‘What if we burned the world down?’

‘Raze the server.’ 

‘Remember us.’ 

‘We will stand by you.’ 

‘I want to go home.’ 

“Welcome home my king”

Jealous SBI 

3rd PERSON POV

Tommy, Tubbo, Purpled, Deam, George, Sapnap, and Quakity are sitting in the Cafe waiting for their drinks talking about stupid things. 

“What if I jumped off the bridge?” Sapnap asks the group. 

“Bet!” Tommy exclaims slamming his hands on the table none of the other customers pay attention being used to the group of Freshmen and Seniors.

“I’d like to see that!” George grins. 

“?” Tommy makes a noise of confusion when his phone rings.

Tommy checks his phone and groans.

“It’s Wil. He says he wants me back home by nine.” Tommy grumbles shaving his phone onto the pocket of his hoodie as the other freshmen snicker at his suffering.

“Well… We’ll just have to be back by before the morning.” Dream says grinning cheekily. 

Tommy’s eyes widen and he starts to laugh as the others grin.

“Well how about going to the bridge and spray paint the walls again?” Sapnap asks as they leave the cafe coffees in hand.

“That’s a good idea Sapnap.” Purped tells the man in white. 

Everyone else nods as they drink their coffee chatting idly. 

“Tommy!” Wilbur says stroming towards the boy and his friends.

“What did dad say about hanging out with them!?” the brunette scolds the boy in red as Tubbo snickers. 

“Well you aren't telling dad or I'm telling him who really broke his vase.” Tommy snaps back angerly before walking away from the gaping Senior

Wilbur growls and storms off to tell Techno to tell Phil.
“That’s gonna backfire ya know?” Dream tells the boy.

“He wont tell I have blackmail on both of them.” Tommy responds as he climbs the rais to get onto the bridge. 

The others follow and bring out their spray paint and pull on their masks grinning. Sapnap starts to talk about how Wilbur was just jealous that Tommy hung out with their group instead of his brothers. Tommy rolls his eyes when the song ‘Don’t threaten me with a good time’ by P!ATD starts to play. He sings along with the song when the police pulls up and they all run off laughing and yelling at the police. 

“That’ll come back to bite me later!” Tommy snickers laughing as he branches away from the others telling them ‘bye’ to go to my house.

“Where have you been!?” Phil asks Tommy when he walks in covered in sweat and coffee because Tubbo poured his cold coffee on him.

“With my friends.” Tommy tells the man he calls his father.

“I thought I told you to not hang out with them!” Philza yells as he glares at the boy.

“Well I didn’t think you'd notice that I wasn’t at dinner considering that you barely notice when i'm sick or upset or when I get good grades at school.” Tommy growls at the man. 

“Of course I care! I’m your father!” Philza growls and smacks the boy.

“4” Tommy hisses holding his cheek.

“4?” Philza asks, still fuming.

“That’s the 4th promise you’ve broken this year PHILZA .” Tommy mutters angrily. 

“I have HAVE NEVER broken a promise to you!” the man tells him. 

“You promised that you wouldn’t leave me. You also promised that you would never forget my birthday. As well as to never try to make me leave my friends.” Tommy growls anger raging in his eyes as he storms up to his room tears starting to form in his eyes.

Phil freezes and remembers that his biological dad was abusive and would try to make him leave his friends. Tommy walks towards the door backpack on his back and hoodie on because of the cold. He ignores Philza yelling for him to come back. He walks towards Dream’s house as he sobs. He knocks on Dream’s door and he opens it pulling Tommy into a hug when he sees that he's crying his eyes out. 

Tommy stays with Dream for a week before Dream decides to throw a party. Tommy stands in the corner holding a red cup about to take a drink when Dream grabs the cup and pushes a Cola onto his hands. Tommy makes a confused noise and tilts his head slightly.

“You are not drinking when you're barely 15!” Dream scolds me lightly.

“Okay. Sorry Dream.” Tommy mutters taking a drink of his Cola.

A few days afterwards a police officer shows up to take Tommy back but Tommy explains that he went willingly and is happy with Dream. The officer nods and calls in saying that Tommy ran away because his father was neglecting him.

BAD DAD PHIL
Phil hit Tommy when he was little

Tommy’s POV

I sit in front of the Nether portal as I wait for Dream to come back. I know he’s probably mad about yesterday but maybe he won’t be as mad if i’m waiting for him to get here. 

“Tommy.” Dream says when he steps through.

I stand straight and look behind him.

“Yes Dream?” I whisper as I look down ears flattening and tail lowering to show submission.

“Why did you hesitate in giving me your armour yesterday?” the hooded man I call my friend says reaching out to cup my face.

I flinch and contemplate why I did.

“I…. don’t know actually.” I respond knowing he’ll be even more mad if I don’t as he cups my face roughly. 

I wince slightly and let out a whimper knowing that I'll be punished by his tone of voice and grip. 

“ That’s not a goo D ANSWER THOMAS! ” he says getting louder at the end he smacks me and I fall but don’t fight back. 

My ears twitched as I let out a hiss in pain. I let out a sob and curl into a ball begging for forgiveness. 

“Will you listen?” Dream hisses as he crouches in front of me. 

I nod as I beg for forgiveness. He smiles and pulls me into a hug as I continue to sob. 

Dream’s POV 

I hold him as he sobs apologies along the lines of ‘I’m sorry’ ‘Your my friend’ ‘Please forgive me’ ‘Please don’t be mad at me’ as he shakes. I grin knowing that I OWN him now. I can use him. 

“I’m sorry PHIL! I’ve learnt my lesson I swear!” the boy yelps as he continues to sob in my arms. 

I freeze and inwardly growl. I may not like him but he’s mine and no one hurts what’s mine. 

“Shhh. I’m here. He can’t hurt you anymore.” I whisper as I rub his back whispering reassuring words into his ears. 

He sniffles and pulls away.

“I’m sorry for breaking your rules. I’m sorry for being a burden and making you mad.” he whispers as he hugs his legs pulling them to his chest. 

I pull him close and whisper reassuring things into his ears.

He sniffles and slowly falls asleep. I pick him up and I carry him to the home I made out of the stronghold. I growl as I think of how Pil has hurt my Tommy. I then grin knowing that I can use this. I just have to let him know that I won’t ever hit me. 

WHEN THEY GET TO THE STRONGHOLD

Tommy’s POV

I wake up and wince slightly when I see Dream. I glance around and realize I’m not in my tent. I look at the bed and fidget. Maybe he brought me here to hurt me. I shake my head dismissing the thought instantly. He won’t hurt melike Phil did. He’s my…. Friend? Right?

Dream’s POV

I wake up groggily and look up and see that Tommy is awake. 

“Tommy?” I ask.

His head snaps towards me and I wince slightly because of the red mark that I caused. 

“H-hey Dr-Dream.” he tries to chirp. 

“How are you feeling?” I ask letting myself sound  concerned. 

“I feel a little cold and I feel like I’m gonna pass out.'' he mutters most likely thinking that I’d punish him for lying. 

“Hmmm…. Alright” I respond as I push him a blanket that was in his Enderchest. 

He thanks me weakly and wraps it around himself. He smiles shakily and curls into a ball.

“I’m sorry for asking but… where are we?” Tommy asks hesitantly.  

“At my house.” I tell him, smiling weakly as I take off my mask. 

 The boy nods and gives another weak smile and another soft thank you. I nod and smile. He fidgets and starts to tap his knee with his tail. I grab his tail and he flinches and whines. I let his tail go and pat his head softly ruffling his hair. 

“I’m sorry for being annoying.” the 16 year old mutters softly. 

“No! No! No! You weren’t being annoying! You just worried me is all!” I tell him quickly. 

He sniffles and stays quiet. He yawns and his stomach grumbles. He winces and terror settles across his face. I smile.

“Do you want something to eat?” I ask him as he looks confused. 

He nods and refuses to look at me. 

“If that’s okay with you?” He responds almost like he thinks I'll say he can't eat. 

“Of course! What do you want to eat?” I ask him making it a point to smile softly. 

“Um…. Could I have a baked potato?” he asks hesitantly. 

“Ofcourse!” I tell him as I get up and walk towards the door. 

He smiles and thanks me softly. I bring him the baked potato and he looks at me before eating it almost like he's asking for permission. I nod and he eats quickly and when he's done he thanks me multiple times and asks what he can do to repay me. I keep telling him he doesn’t have to.

“ NO! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REPAY ME! THOMAS!” I growl.

He flinches and curls into a ball starting to sob as he begs me for forgiveness. 

NO ONE IS GOING TO HURT HIM. HE’S MINE AND NO ONE HURTS WHAT’S MINE. Is my last thought after comforting him and we both fall to sleep on what I’ve said is his bed.

Dream cares about Tommy

Tommy cares about Dream

Racconinnit

Tommy’s POV

I slowly back away from Dream sensing his rage. He walks forward as he pulls me into a hug. I make a confused titter. He holds me at arms length when I remember the bruises that coat my arms. He gives me a look and he pulls me to logsteadshere in silence as I let him. 

“Why did you run Tommy ?” he says, poison dripping from his voice at my name. 

I wince.

“Yuu left and I panicked….. I’m sorry.” I whisper as we stand there him glaring at me looking at the dirt in shame.

He hums and raises his hand- I finch remembering that Techno would hit me every time I did something wrong. He raises a brow and brings it to my face and I raise my hands to protect my face letting out a soft sob. He drops his hand and sighs. He gives me a small tense smile and turns away. I reach out for his hand and shake my head. He gives me a confused nie.

“Monophobia.” I manage to whisper holding his sleeve like my life depended on it. 

His eyes widen and he pulls me into a hug muttering apologies.

Dream’s POV

I hold Tommy as I smirk knowing that he’s mine.I whisper reassuring words to him as he crys in my arms. I need him to trust me. I NEED him. He reminds me of MY TOMS . My baby brother. I let him sob and cry in my arms knowing that he NEEDS me. I smile knowing that he’s mine. 

“It’s gonna be okay Tommy. I know. I’m not mad.” I whisper in his ear when he mutters apologies and begs for me not to be mad.

“Please don’t leave me. Please Dream” he begs sobbing hard as he expects to be hit.

I let out a growl and he flinches. I hold him tighter rubbing circles on his back. He flinches sensing my anger and sobs harder.

Tommy’s POV

I sob harder thinking he’s mad at me. A thought that he’ll hurt me like Tecno did. The thought leaves instantly. Dream’s my friend he won’t hurt me. He’s MY friend. He’s MINE. I won't let anyone hurt what's MINE. NO ONE. 

I hold him harder as I let myself sob. He holds me protectively. I smile weakly as I push away slightly smiling at him and wince when I see the concern in his eyes. I smile at him softly and tilt my head slightly. He gives me a weak smile and closes his eyes. I let him pull me closer and whisper things to me about protecting me. I sit there and I let him. He’s the only one allowed to say that hell protect me. I feel him start to cry and hold him closer. I growl slightly and I feel him pull me closer. MY PACK. MINE. 

“It’s gonna be okay. I’m here. I will be here for as long as I can.” I tell him softly. 

Dream’s POV

I stiffen that’s something that my Toms used to tell me. I let out another sob and pull him closer hoping that he’s telling the truth.

3rd PERSON POV

Both of their thoughts before falling asleep are ‘He’ MINE. and NO ONE hurts what's MINE.

Dream manipulates Tommy to trust him, he succeeds and Tommy has separation anxiety with Dream

Tommy is touch starved

Tommy’s POV

It's been a year since I was exiled and I have grown to trust Dream. I really think he’s my friend. I hope he is. He’s been visiting me more often and telling me what’s been going on in L’manburg, I hate that place,but I like to hear him talk. “Hey Tommy!” I hear Dream call. ‘He's back!’ “Yeah?” I ask peeking out of the tent he let me have. He looks mad.

 I walk towards him confused. “You said you told me where all the hidden chests were Tommy. You lied to me,” he says sounding mad. “I-I did I swear!” I tell him. “Then what is this?” he asks bring out a chest with stuff. My eyes widen as I look at it.

 “I thought I showed you it! I swear I forgot that one existed!” I tell him worried he’ll start yelling. His eyes narrow as he glares. I flinch backing up looking at the ground. “I’m sorry,” I mutter, backing up more sniffling. His glare softens as he looks at me. “It’s alright I just thought you were going to try and leave me,” he says softly.

 ‘He’s lying’ a voice whispers in my mind. I shake my head and say “I could never! You’re my best friend!” He sighs as he opens his arms. I throw myself at him as I sniffle again. “Are you mad at me?” I ask quietly. “No,” he says softly. I smile after he says that. ‘He’s using you!’ a voice hisses in the back of my mind. I ignore it, happy that he’s not mad at me.

“Tubbo says he’s thinking of unbanning you,” Dream tells me softly as he sits down making me face him. My eyes widen in fear. “What?” I ask fearfully “Why would he do that isn’t he happy that I'm gone?” “He wants to use you like a pawn, but I won’t let him. Okay” my only friend tells me. I believe him. “I will protect you no matter what. Okay?” he tells me. “Yeah I trust you big brother!” I tell him happily not noticing I called him my brother. “Big brother?” I freeze realizing what I said. 

“Sorry.” I mutter. “It’s okay Toms just surprised me is all,” he reassures me. “Thanks Dream,” I smile at him softly. “Feel free to call me ‘Big brother’ if you want,” he says smiling down at me. “Ok Big brother!” I tell him happily. ‘He’s using you!’ the voice yells again ‘Shut up!’ I think back. “What’s wrong?” big brother asks. “Sorry I was thinking about something,” I tell him. ‘He’s faking! He doesn't care!’ the voice yells again. I ignore it in favour of laying in Dream’s arms slowly falling asleep.

“I love you Big brother.” I whisper before falling asleep. “Love you too Toms,” I hear him reply. When I wake up me and Dream are laying on my bed in my tent. Tubbo’s standing outside looking shocked. I shake Dream in a panic. He groans as he opens his eyes. “What is it Toms?” he asks, seeing my panic. “Tubbo’s here” I whisper back in fear. He sits up putting on his mask so he doesn’t see his face. “Tommy you are unbanned from L’manburg!” he says happily? I get behind Dream as we were now standing. Dream glares at him.

 “Maybe he doesn’t want to go,” he tells what used to be my best friend. “Why wouldn't he L'manburg is his home Dream?” he asks, looking at big brother with disgust. “Leave him alone!” I growl at Tubbo. He looks shocked that I defended Dream. “Tommy come on you can go home!” he says. “Dream’s my home” I whisper scooting behind Dream again. “Dream what did you do to him?!” he asks, stalking towards my best friend angrily. I scoot back as he gets closer. Dream continues to stand there glaring. 

I tug on his sleeve as I whimper. Tubbo stops and looks at me concerned. He reaches out for me as I flinch. “Dream I'm scared,” I whisper to him as I sniffle. “Shhh I’m here you’re safe,” Brother whispers, pulling me closer glaring at Tubbo. “Sorry Big brother,” I whisper. “What did you just call him?” Tubbo asks, shocked. “Leave.” Dream growls glaring at the seventeen year old president. 

“No! He’s my best friend!” he yells, grabbing me and pulling me away from Dream. I whimper needing his warmth. I pull away from Tubbo and rushing to get behind Dream. I sigh when I feel his arms wrap around me again. I melt into his touch letting myself relax knowing i’m safe with him. “Tommy come here!” I hear Tubbo growl. I shrink trying to hide in Dream’s hoodie. “Leave him alone, he doesn’t want to go!” Dream growls at the boy. “No he needs to come home!” He yells. “Don’t let him take me brother,” I whimper towards the masked man.

“I won’t.” he promises me. “Go to the tent and go back to sleep. Ok?” “Ok.” ‘He’s using you!’ the voice yells again. ‘Leave me alone!’ I growl inwardly towards the horrible voice. “Be safe big brother,” I tell him as I go to obey his command. “I will. I promise.” I smile knowing he doesn’t break promises. “Okay Big brother!” I exclaim walking away from him and Toby. ‘Go with Tubbo he’s your friend!’ the voice yells again. I stop and turn to Tubbo and Dream as they yell at eachother. ‘Maybe I should listen to the voice.’ I think. ‘No!’ Dream is my best and only friend I need. Right? Yeah that’s right! I lay down on the bed and close my eyes trying to fall asleep.

I hear Dream yelp. I shoot up and rush outside to see what happened. I see Dream on the floor with a sword at his throat. Tubbo. “Leave him alone!” I yell shoving Tubbo away from Dream. Tubbo looks shocked that I’m defending Dream. “Why?” he asks as he goes to stand up. I put the sword to his throat. “Leave,” I growl as I push the sword closer to his throat. Dream puts his hand on my shoulder and says “Calm Tommy calm.” “But…..” I trail off sensing his displeasure with my words. “Stand down Tommy.” I hear him hiss. “Okay.” I whisper letting the sword fall from my hand. “Good boy.” he says, patting my head softly.

I smile hearing that. “Leave Mr.President he doesn’t want to go.” Dream says sternly. “Are you mad?” I ask softly, holding his hand on my head . “Yes.” I deflate hearing that. “But not at you,” he says. I perk up at that and make a happy noise. “Go back to bed,” I tell him. “Yes sir!” I say happily turning to obey. I walk to the tent wondering if Dream would let me build a cabin for the winter so he doesn’t get sick when he stays the night with me. I’ll have to ask him about that later. I lay on the bed closing my eyes for the last time that day. 

“Good morning Toms,” I hear Dream say when I open my eyes. “Big brother I have a question,” I say. He hums in question from his chair. “Can I build a cabin for the winter?” I ask hesitantly. I see him pause and think. “Yes.” he responds smiling. “Really!?” I ask excitedly. “Yes. But only because I don't want you getting sick. Ok?” “Yes! Thank you Big brother!” I yell. “Can I go get the wood?” I ask him. “Alright but get back before dark. Understand?” he tells me. “Yes sir!” I promise him. “Are you hungry?” he asks as I stand up. “No,” I lie. “Are you lying to me?” he asks as I flinch. “No! Of course not!” I exclaim. “Thomas.” I freeze when I hear that. “....” I stay quiet after that. “Yes. I’m lying. I’m sorry.” I whisper. “Come eat you can’t build on an empty stomach.” he tells me. “Okay.” I tell him hoping he’s not mad.

After I eat I go outside to collect wood to build the cabin. I mainly look for birch and oak, but I find some spruce. I’ll have to ask Dream which one he likes more. “Tommy…” I turn and see Tubbo. My eyes widen and I take a step back raising my axe to defend myself in case he tries anything. “Tommy what are you doing here?” he asks, looking at me acting concerned. “I need you to come with me, back to L’manburg.” he tells me. “Leave me alone!” I tell him backing away towards my tent. “No! You are coming home even if I have to drag you!” He yells. “Leave me alone! Please! Just leave me alone!” I yell. “Tommy are you okay?” I hear Dream call. “Tubbo is here!” I yell. He walks into the place that I just turned into a clearing. “Why won’t you come home?!” Tubbo yells walking forward trying to grab me.

“L’manburg isn’t my home! Not anymore and never will be again!” I yell trying not to cry. ‘Go with him he’s your friend!’ the voice yells again. “No he’s not! Just leave me alone!” I yell without realizing it. “Tommy?” Dream. “Yeah Big brother?” I ask him as I relax slightly with him here. “Who are you talking to?” he asks me. “What do you mean?” I ask. “You were yelling at someone,” he tells me, sounding concerned. “A voice tells me bad things like to trust Tubbo. I don’t like the voice.” I tell him in a small voice realizing that Tubbo left already. “We’ll talk about this after we finish building the cabin. Alright.” it wasn’t a question. “Ok Big brother,” I respond. 

When we finish building

“So what does the voice tell you?” he asks me after we eat dinner. “It tells me that I can’t trust you and that you're using me mostly.” I tell him after thinking it over. “What else does it tell you?” he asks sternly. “It tells me to trust Tubbo and go with him.” I mutter. “Do you know why the voice tells you that?” he asks, staring at me blankly. “I used to have doubts and thought you were lying to me,” I mutter hoping he isn't mad. “Alright and how do you feel now?” he asks, sounding suspicious. “I don't think that anymore it’s the opposite actually!” I say quickly. “Are you a hundred percent sure?” he pushes more. “ Absolutely! I don’t like the voice at all!” I say quickly. “I hope so.” he says. ‘He’s angry’ I think. ‘He’s gonna yell again’ 

 “You're lying again aren’t you!” he says, raising his voice. I shrink back slightly hearing that. “N-no I swear!” I answer quickly. “Stop lying to me!” he yells walking closer as I shrink into the corner. “Please! I’m telling the truth! I swear!” I yelp as he towers above me. “Tommy! Dream!” I hear a voice yell. Tubbo. I look at Dream wideyed. “Please don’t let him take me! Please! Don’t make me go back!” I yelp. He sighs as he bends down to face me. “I’m not gonna make you go back,” he tells me as he pulls me into a hug. “I will never make you go back.” he tells me as he holds me close. ‘He’s using you!’ the voice yells again. I ignore it. “I trust you big brother.” I say softly.

“This is for your own good,” he whispers. “Now I'm going to get Tubbo to leave. Stay here.” “Alright Big brother.” I mutter as I shrink more into the corner of the cabin. ‘Go with Tubbo! He’ll save you!’ the vile voice yells. “No! I don’t need saving! Especially from Big brother! You vile thing!” I growl under my breath. ‘He’s using you! You fool!’ the voice continues to yell things like that for what feels like an hour. Dream walks back in Tubbo behind him. I shrink at seeing him (Tubbo). “Tommy do you want to go back?” Dream asks as Tubbo looks hopeful. I shake my head and Tubbo deflates. “Why not Tommy?” Tubbo asks, sounding upset. “You betrayed me,” I whisper hoping to god that he’ll leave soon. “Dream made me! He threatened L’manburg!” he yells pointing at him. My eyes widen then I remember that Dream said he’d lie to get me to trust him. “Liar! He wouldn’t do that!” I growl as I glare at him.

“I’m not! I promise! I wouldn’t lie to you!” he yells. ‘TRUST HIM YOU FOOL!’ the voice yells again. “You said you wouldn’t exile me and yet here we are!” I hiss as I glance at Dream to gauge his mood. He seems.. proud? Of me? Tubbo turns but not before I see the tears in his eyes. I don’t feel bad. After he leaves Dream takes off his mask and looks at me.  “Good job Toms,” he says as he lays in bed and pulls me close. The last thing I think before I close my eyes is. ‘Thank you Tubbo for exiling me.’
