Chapter Text
Wilbur sat up slowly form the sleeping cliff where he had been laying with a grunt
ow…I must have overdone myself while mining yesterday…
he felt something move at his side and Wilbur jumped for a second before realizing it was the sleeping form of Tommy. He noticed after a second that the ends of his golden hair was singed
ooo…Imma have to ask Techno about that later…
He slowly moved off of Tommy the teen shifted to where Wilbur was just a moment before
hm…I’ll let him sleep a little longer before I wake him up
He quietly tiptoed to the kitchen down the hall before spotting Techno already in the kitchen getting some coffee
“Hey Tech…” he said quietly before realizing Techno was blatantly ignoring him
“Umm…Did I…do something last night?”
At this Techno loosened “oh…hey Wilbur…yeah…I guess… *he* took over again and started yelling at Toms over…something…I dunno… He started spitting literal fire so I kicked you out of the ravine for a few hours so he could cool down before Tommy convinced me to let you back in.”
Wilbur just nodded silently “Y-yeah… sorry about that…”
“well, I’m less the person you should be apologizing to Wilbur…”
He nodded again “Yeah…I’ll do it when he wakes up…I think we need to find more obsidian today…He’s getting stronger and I dunno if I can control it as much as I could before…”
“Well, you are under a lot of stress lately, by the logic of the situation it would make sense…but I just feel so helpless when he starts getting angry over everything and starts hurting Tommy and Tubbo…they don’t deserve that…”
Wilbur grabbed a potato and started munching on it “you’re right… but it doesn’t make it hurt any less that I can’t protect them from myself…”
Techno gently placed a hand on Wilbur’s shoulder “Wil…we’ve been doing this for years…I know how to control Keith… I’ll make sure you’re safe”
Wil nodded and walked back towards where Tommy was sleeping, after knocking on the door he gently said “hey… it’s time to get up…”
Tommy just moved over and groaned “I’m tiredddd…”
“I know…but I need you to at least eat something…”
“heh maybe you should too with how mad you were last night over that rock…”
Wilbur just nodded and motioned for Tommy to follow
So, what are we doing today big man?” Tommy asked as he opened his backpack to check for supplies
“I was thinking of looking for more Obsidian”
“Againnn? What are you even doing with all that obsidian?”
Wilbur was silent for a minute before he started mining a hole in a new direction he hadn’t gone before
“Go get some potatoes and come back and help me, this is going to take a lot longer if I’m doing this by myself”
Aww don’t want him to know about lil ol me?
Wilbur growled
no, if he knew he’d lose his ever-loving mind…its safer this way
You keep saying that, but hiding it has really kept the two of you apart.
YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM
Ooohh now were on the shifting blame arc, goootchhhaaaa
Shut up
Make me bitch
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr…. Keith that bitch…
I’m right here fucker
Yeah, I know, its not helping anything.
Says youuuuu
Every time, There’s no moment of peace here
As there should be…
I swear if I could I would strangle you—
“Hey! I’m back!”
“O-Oh I didn’t hear you come back!”
Tommy gave a suspicious look for a second before shrugging “alright where we starting?!”
