Beautiful, it’s not something he’d use to describe himself. Especially not on this server and how shitty it has been to him. Well, that was until he met her. Many of the other assholes on the server had wondered why Tommy had been so busy lately. Leaving during the day half of the time and not being seen till late at night.
What was so important that was causing the servers' traumatized fawn to leave so much? Yeah, that’s right! Tommy’s a deer hybrid. Tommy’s antlers had a much slower growing process so they were a bit small. Regular legs until his knees, golden fur fading into hooves. And behind him was a small golden blonde tail.
His face was covered in white and light brown freckles, a faded yet visible scar was on the bridge of his nose. Right, speaking back to the real reason they were here in the first place.
Tommy has left much longer than usual once Dream had been broken out of prison, and speaking of which, ever since the man with an obsession over making Tommy his little brother went to stalk him. The blonde was never there.
Just the day Tommy was speaking on call with someone on his communicator, was the day many came to confront him. Many being Tubbo, SBI, Niki, Jack, Punz, Puffy, and Dream. Well, obviously, Dream was only there to see what was causing his baby brother to be so busy. And Punz was just there helping him. Dream wishes Tommy could be his little brother. Puffy is just there to try to stop their stupidity and stop them from invading Tommy’s privacy.
“Tommy!” Screamed Wilbur. Tommy looks to where he hears the yell from Wilbur, muttering a ‘i’ll call you back’ into his communicator and putting it away. “What?! The fuck do ya want prick!?” Tommy yells back. Wilbur and the others were right in front of him now. “Where have you been lately?” Tommy gulps, “why the fuck does it matter!? Mind your damn business.” Wilbur stares at him, suddenly grabbing him by the wrist. “H-hey! What the fuc–”
“Are you sure you want to do this the hard way, Tommy?” there’s an evil glint to the man's crimson red eyes. “No, I don’t. Which is why I'm gonna leave.” It's when that sentence is said, that Dream decides to make his appearance known. “Tommy~ why are you hiding things? You know you shouldn’t hide things from your best friend.” The sentence alone makes Tommy freeze, making him turn around.
“B-because.. It’s none o-of your business. J-just go away.”
Tubbo comes up to him, grabbing his hand. “Tom, I’m your best friend. What’s going on boss man?” Tommy feels like scowling, ripping his hand away. “Guys, this is ridiculous! You complain when I’m around and assume I’m causing trouble and then when I decide to leave for a bit for my own reasons and to give you space, you all of a sudden wanna know everything! Like what the fuck!?”
Jack scoffs, “you probably are causing trouble! You’re just a brat!”
“See what I mean!? You want me to leave you alone? I did that, I stopped bothering people and went to do what I wanted somewhere else. And now that I’m giving you what you want, fucking quiet, you want to know what i’m up to! L-like just leave me alone man!? I’m trying to give you peace, and myself peace for once. And don’t fucking come and tell me to apologize for my mistakes and shit because I know damn well nobody except for Tubbo would listen and not call it an excuse!”
Tommy finally calms down and when he finally starts to walk away, his communicator rings and Punz of all people snatch it from him.
Tommy tries multiple times to get it back but it’s no use. Tommy freezes when Punz asks, “who’s Em?”
The communicator is still ringing, but the man declines it. Few! Then he looks through his message history. Fuck.

Punz scrolls through the messages, all of them seeming normal until he gets to a message from 6 months ago.

Punz wants to coo, “awhh, seems like our servers deer has a little girlfriend~”
Tommy’s being held back as everything drops into chaos. “There’s no way that little gremlin child could get a girlfriend!”
“Yeah! Who would want to date a brat?!”
Puffy’s trying to calm the deer hybrid down as someone the group doesn’t recognize says “me, I would.” they all look to her, not knowing who the fuck she was. Her hair was a mix of Tommy’s blonde and Wilbur’s brunette, her eyes were covered in a pair of glasses similar to Erets. She had wings coming from her back and small antennae from her head. A butterfly hybrid.
“Who are you?” Dream asked.
“Tommy’s girlfriend, now leave him alone.”
“I don’t believe you, Tommy shouldn’t be allowed to have a girlfriend–” he’s cut off as Em punches Him in the face and walks towards Tommy. Taking her from the arms of Puffy and into her own.
“Hello, my dear. Are you alright?” she asks, Tommy looks up at her. Letting out a sigh of relief and hiding his face in the crook of her neck.
There’s chaos again, Wilbur trying to drag Tommy away again and Techno stops him. “Wilbur, leave him alone. Him and his girlfriend obviously don’t want to be bothered.”
‘No- Techno! She obviously is just a fake! There’s no way he could–”
“Wil, mate. Just leave him. Let Tommy be happy.”
The arguing stops when Em yells at them, “okay! You want proof? I’ll give you proof!”
She looks back at her boyfriend, “Tom. Dear, look at me.” Tommy looks at her, eye bags under his eyes. But Em just finds the tired look adorable. The look is all she needed for she gave him a kiss to the lips that lasted only 3 seconds.
Tommy, in return, was red as a tomato.
“Happy?” she asks, looking around and glaring. Tubbo steps up, making her look down at him. “Congrats, make him happy. Okay?” Em nods, giving Tubbo a soft smile and carries her flustered boyfriend away bridal style. Seemingly making his embarrassment worse.
Everyone stood there shocked at the fact Tommy had someone who genuinely loved him while Dream laid on the floor with a black eye and broken nose.
Tommy and Em, however, wore comfy onesies and cuddled soundly to sleep for the rest of the day.
"Tommy?" she says, her little fawn boyfriend snuggled next to her and his head resting on their head. "yes, love?" he responded, playing with Em's hair.
"you know I love you, right?" she asked, snuggling her head more into his chest. "yeah, I do."
"I still do.."
Tommy giggles, "same."
They start to drift off to sleep, not caring about anyone else's opinion on their love.
