No Tommy was not crying.
Why would he cry anyways? Because he can’t see Tubbo? No, that’s stupid. He doesn’t care if he’ll never see his best friend. Totally not that would be a stupid reason to cry.
Ok maybe he was crying a little bit.
His parents discovered that Tubbo is trans, and now he is no longer allowed to speak to his best friend.
Fuck that, what does it even change if Tubbo was born a girl? He’s still a boy!
“Fuck this.” Tommy mumbled, voice still hoarse from crying. He then proceeded to open his window, making sure to make no sound while doing so, and hopped out. Going towards Ranboo’s house, where Tubbo was staying at for the night.
He needed to speak to them at least once more.
___________________________________________________________
The walk took barely 5 minutes, but that was enough time for his cries to stop almost completely.
Climbing up the paved steps to Ranboo’s door, he walked up to the doorbell and rang. He knew the enderman’s parents weren’t home due to him telling Tommy. After a couple seconds without answer, he rang again, desperate to see his friends. He could feel the tears well up in his eyes after getting no answer.
Then the door opened, and a very drowsy enderman met his eyes.
“Tommy? what are you doin’ here?” They asked confused. Then they saw just how in bad shape he was. His hair was all over the place, his eyes, normally so bright and happy, were red and puffy from crying. He looked so weak at this very moment.
“Oh god Tommy are you ok? Come in, come in,” they opened the door wide to let him have his space, “What happened Tom?”
“Can we go see Tubbo? …Please?” was all he could get out, voice hoarse from crying.
“Yeah sure bud, c’mon follow me,” they said sweetly, but still laced with worry, “you wanna cuddle with us?”
“Mhm…” the youngest was getting sleepier now, his head almost unable to hold upwards.
Noticing this, the enderman took him by the wrist, and lead him up the stairs. He knew Tommy would not allow them to take him by the hand, even in his most vulnerable state.
Quietly climbing up the steep wooden stairs and opening the bedroom door, the duo were met with an already sleeping Tubbo. Which wasn’t per say disappointing to Tommy but talking to him before going to sleep would’ve been nice. Guess he can’t complain now though.
Hand still holding onto his wrist, the enderman brought the blond onto the bed. They promised cuddles and cuddles they will give!
That night, Tommy got to completely forget about his hatred for his parents or how they would get mad at him later for this, he got to enjoy being both the big spoon for Tubbo and the little one for Ranboo instead. And for the first time that night, tears didn’t well up in his eyes from sadness or anger. Only from happiness.
