running up that hill after the bus that i fucking missed

Summary:

Tommy missed the bus.

His family is out of town, and the last bus already went by for the night. After exhausting every other option he has available, Tommy stoops to his actual last resort: his bitchass cousin Technoblade.

( or: bedrock crack chatfic. that's all this is. )

Notes:

hellooo so a few months ago i got stranded in town because i missed a bus while my entire driving family was out of town, so i had to wait there for TWO HOURS before someone could pick me up. the majority of the fic was written in that time period, and the rest was written today when i rediscovered it deep in my wips folder. enjoy!

also this fic is for salt. hi salt here you go <3

Dadza: Why are you still at the bus stop?? Shouldn’t you be home by now?

Tommy: Well some of us do not always get t o the bus on time!
And sometimes we are busy doing very important things like walking to the library and and then the clock breaks and we do not know it until too late because the librarian is a BTICH and ddidn’t tell me the clock was broken

Dadza: Did you miss the bus, Tommy?

Tommy: You abandoned me.

Dadza: It wasn’t abandonment. We’ve planned this, Toms, and you said you didn’t want to go along to Wilbur’s competition.
Can’t Tubbo pick you up?

Tommy: Yes because it is excessively boring and I hate Wilbur
NO he is out of town until tomorrow morning. Which is when he is picking me up for the weekend. Remember!

Dadza: You don’t hate Wilbur.
Can you call Tubbo and see if he has family still at his house who could give you a lift home?

Tommy: okay

Tommy: w H aT
The schedule changes after 5 PM, Phillip. It does not go past our house anymore until tomorrow morning at 7:42 AM.
Ugguhhh I don’t want to sleep outside… I am going to freeze into an icicle. A boy shaped ice block and people will mistake me for an ice sculpture and point and say “Oh look at that beautiful sculpture of the perfect man what an exquisite piece of art” but in really it will be me dead and forzen on this bench because his family abandoned him all alone y himself

Dadza: Okay, king. It’s all right. Can you text any of your other friends? If absolutely necessary I will drive back and pick you up, but it’ll take me about four hours to get there.

Tommy: I will be dead by then

Dadza: Text Ranboo, mate. Doesn’t he have his license now?

Tommy: I hate Ranboo

 

(5:21)

Big Man: HELLO MR BOOB. ARE YOU AT HOME

Tommy: He’s weird and annoying and he gets no bitches because is so sad and lonely and a bad person and he just takes things from people without asking first

Tommy: He is the worst member of our family and I will literally never forgive him

Dadza: Okay, Tommy.

I don’t know how much longer I have elft. If anyone finds this, tell me father I forgive him.
Tell Wilbur I hated him until my fial breath though

Dadza: You’ll live.
Is Techno on his way?

Tommy: He is “at work” and “leaving soon” and “has to tell his manager” he is “leaving” his “job” “early”

Dadza: Why all the quotation marks

Tommy: Technoblade is full of lies

Dadza: Sure.
Text me when he gets there. Wil and I are going to get something to eat, call if I don’t reply to a text right away and you need me

BIGGEST MAN: Who the fuck is DREAM

Techno: Some guy. Hold on.

BIGGEST MAN: Stop telling me to hold on. What is Going ON

I think someone named Dream has kidnapped him

Wilby: isn’t that his coworker

Only Child: It’s always the ones closest that you have to suspesct

 

(6:05)

Kidnapped: Okay sorry I’m back. Dream had them.

BIGGEST MAN: how do I know it’s really you and not the kidnapper using your phone

Tommy why is my name that

BIGGEST MAN: Tell me something only you Would know

Not Kidnapped: Do you remember the time when you were seven and there was 

BIGGEST MAN: OKAY NEVER MIND SHUT UP

BIGGEST MAN: please speed

 

(6:13)

Only Child: okay nvm he’s fine. Dream might still b a kidnapper htough idk. OR a serial killer even

Wilby: i do not even remotely understand whats going on but okay

Only Child: Technoblade works somewhere, probably a serial killer place who Knows and he has a coworker called Dream and I think that is the dumbest name I’ve ever heard
Like who is called Dream. That is NOT a real name and I think it’s a cover to hide the fact that he’s wanted to for murder in Eight states
Technoblad eand him are probably friends because they both kill people

Only Child: look at this weird rock I just found

Who on Earth is more important than picking me up from the fuckign bus stop right the fuck now

Not Kidnapped: Well there was this old lady who needed help with her groceries

BIGGEST MAN: You have GOT to be kidding me.
So you help her put her bags in her car and then went back to your car?????

Not Kidnapped: Well…
She was also looking for her granddaughter.

BIGGEST MAN: So you look around for her granddaughter and then you went BACK TO YOUR CAR.

Not Kidnapped: The thing is, her granddaughter apparently also is tall and has long pink hair.

BIGGEST MAN: I am going to block you, Technoblade.

Not Kidnapped: But you need my help. We’ve been over this.
Hold on this name is annoying me.
Okay. So anyway I just kinda felt awkward because I mean she needed help and yeah she was callin’ me the wrong name and stuff but I thought, maybe the problem in the situation was ME. Maybe my name IS Rebecca and I just have gotten it wrong this whole time.

BIGGEST MAN: Wh yon earth would that be your thought process in this siutation.

Techno: Bro I dunno I just didn’t know how to correct her. Anyway we’re in the checkout line so I’ll be there soon after that

Techno: What are they

Theseus: first I am going to cry. I really am. So loudly.

Techno: Please don’t.

Theseus: And then I am going to end our truce and I am going to continue to hate you for the rest of our lives.

Techno: Can I bring you McDonalds? Will that make up for it?

Theseus: ok

Techno: Oh, absolutely. But nobody should be forced to sit at a bus stop after dark for this long

Theseus: wow…

Techno: Let’s not go too far.

Theseus: hold on are you still outside the library
