Chapter Text
Tubbo’s calamitous trains of thoughts came to a sudden stop when Fit spoke. “Come with you guys?”
The guys in question were both standing in front of him now dressed up for their date. Fit, in a fancy form fitting suit and Pac in a nice button up and slacks. Their expressions were mirrors of each other; earnestness and concern.
“Seriously?” Tubbo asked, his voice cracking on the word against his will.
Pac nodded enthusiastically. “Of course, Tubbo. We are, you know, family. You are always welcome.”
Fit echoed his sentiment. “Yeah, Tubbo. You’re very welcome to come to the movies with us.”
Tubbo blinked. “I mean I don’t want to bother.”
“But it’s bothering you,” Pac pressed. “And it’s no bother to us so why not?”
Tubbo felt suddenly guilty about the ender pearl and the plan he had to steal Pac away. “Okay.” That was it, he had decided. “Okay, I’ll come with you guys.”
They both smiled brightly at him and Pac slung his arm around Tubbo as they set off.

Fit showered Pac in food and clothes and whatever he could ever want as soon as they got there and to be honest it didn’t stir a bit of jealousy in Tubbo. Pac handed off as much food as he could to Tubbo while they both laughed at Fit’s nervous antics.
“He really likes you,” Tubbo whispered to Pac while Fit’s back was turned.
Pac grinned. “He does.” To Tubbo’s surprise, Pac slipped his hand into Tubbo’s and squeezed. “Let’s go watch whatever movie he has planned for us, yeah?”
The word us echoed over and over in his mind. “Yeah.”
The movie was an old black and white one that had them all curled over laughing. Tubbo had been sure he would be gagging and rolling his eyes at how romantic they were being the whole time but to his surprise he seemed to fit in with them like a puzzle piece they didn’t know they were missing, Tubbo pressed into either of their sides at any moment. Laughing with them as they compared the animated creatures to other islanders. Teasing Fit with Pac when he accidently fell into his lap. Stumbling awkwardly through words in Portuguese with Fit as Pac howled with laughter at them. It soothed his fears for a while. The promise and security of being with both of them. Maybe things would be okay.
