Chapter Text
Tommy stared at the rock roof of his cramped room. He laid at the top of 2 pistons he set off to be like a bed, one of Techno's old robes acting as a pillow.
He was wearing one of Wil's sweaters. In fact he had asked for the sweater today once he got back from hanging with Tubbo and pretending to be his baby doctor.
Wilbur didn't know why he had been asked for it but happily gave it to his little brother. Why wouldn't he? The brunette hadn't of had a reason not to.
Well maybe if he didn't give it to the blonde Tommy wouldn't be acting upon his plan.
Honestly Tommy himself wasn't sure of this. He didn't know if he wanted to do this. It's just like taking a vacation- just ya know, permanent. Running away was.. a big step. This would mean leaving behind L'manburg. Hell, this means leaving behind everything. He checked the time.
2 AM.
He sighed, rolling over- he couldn't leave until he knew his 2 brothers were asleep. Was he stalling time or did he really not know whether or not his brothers were asleep. Tommy didn't know the answer to that question, but it was safer to wait a bit longer either way.
His thoughts drifted to the day he had. Tubbo saying he has all the discs and Tommy saying they could run away.
"We'll meet up at the white house tonight then," Tubbo had said. "get your bags ready, Tommy."
Tommy's bags were indeed ready. He had gathered something from everyone he'd miss. He had a robe from Techno, a sweater from Wil, Dreams crossbow (he decided to leave the armor behind), a recipe of Nikkis cakes Tubbo and him had stolen, a rock he had grabbed from Schlatts cuck shed, and even an old pair of sunglasses from Eret.
He cursed silently at himself realizing he hadn't grabbed something from Big Q.
Yes, Quackity was a traitor. But.. they were still friends, right?
He remembered all the jokes and good times he had spent with him. The phone calls they shared while Tommy wandered through his sewers.
Before he could stop himself tears dripped down his cheeks. He quickly rubbed them away and checked the time again.
2:45 AM.
It should be safe. Even if Techno wasn't asleep he wouldn't be in his farm at least, so it was safe for the blonde to leave.
Tommy got up and grabbed his back pack, making sure everything was in it. He tried to hard to not cry.
TommyInnit doesn't cry- he can't cry. He shouldn't cry. It would not be manly to cry.
The child rubbed his eyes and stood up, quickly making his way out of the ravine.
He made his way to Manburg, moving through the trees trying to be silent once he reached the forbidden land. He spotted the shorter boy and waved.
Sprinting over as silently as he could Tommy pulled Tubbo into a hug. The bee obsessed kid didn't think to question it as he too was questioning what they were about to do- letting the blonde hug him.
Tubbo teared up slightly, holding on tightly to the other. "Are.. are you sure about this, Tommy?" He asked the other, neither of the boys even thinking of seperarting.
It was silent for a second.
"...Yes. Y-Yes, I'm sure Big T."
And with that it was offically decided. They're running the fuck away.
The 2 walked through Manburg, making their way up the stairs. They stopped at what once was Tommy's land- now merely a abandoned place owned by Dream SMP.
They sat down at the blondes bench, setting a small fire on the ground. Tubbo took off his tie and suit and tossed them into the red and orange flames.
They both sighed, Tubbo resting his shoulder on the others shoulder. Tommy patted his head softly. Truth is by now they would be by Skeppy and Bads house, but a little stalling time couldn't hurt.
Or maybe it could.
What neither of the boys knew was that Quackity was not asleep. Tubbo had not thought to check, so because of this the black haired man-child saw the smoke in the distance and got confused.
He walked up silently behind them and saw the 2 children just.. sitting there. Tubbo didn't have his uniform and Tommy looked like he had been crying.
"Tubbo?"
The voice shattered the calmness they had and on instinct Tubbo and Tommy separated themselves. "Big Q-" Tubbo muttered shocked, not knowing what to say. Tommy looked behind him at Quackity in shock.
'Fuck.'
"Big Q, uh- we can explain!" The brunette said quickly. In reality, no. No they could not explain. That would fuck over their plan even more.
"Are you two running away!?" Quackity whisper yelled. Tommy- too emotionally vulnerable at this point- was immediate to speak afterwards.
"Big Q- please..! P-please don't tell Wil! O-or Schlatt- please- we-.. w-we can't stay-" Tommy was a stuttering mess, just trying not to cry.
That confirmed what Quackity asked, the sight of Tommy practically having a panic attack and Tubbo burning his uniform just hurt the oldest.
He looked over the 2 children with hurt in his eyes before shaking his head and taking off his beanie, handing it to Tommy. He then grabbed his jacket- which he had been wearing over his suit as it was cold as hell outside- and gave it to Tubbo. He looked at the 2 of them again, still not saying anything. Then Quackity walked off.
Neither of them knew what to do or say. All they knew was that they had to leave ASAP- while yes, they were just given stuff to remember Big Q by this could mean others are awake too.
The gremlin of a child stomped out the fire and the bee obsessed boy grabbed their backpacks and handed Tommys to him.
And with that they ran.
