never lied (dwt x fem reader)

XIV. who has the power now?

"he's the president, he's not a fucking follower." tommy yells.

"yeah president, second to fundy, ranboo and quackity and everyone who could've told him what to do." i say.

"you need tubbo just as much as you need me." tommy says stepping in front of him.

"i don't need tubbo at all." i say shrugging.

"well 'cause without tubbo what am i, dickhead?" tommy says slapping me.

"ohhh," i say with an evil smile, "tommy you wanna be hero right? you wanna be a hero, and every hero needs an origin story, right? batman had his parents, spiderman had uncle ben, and you, you have tubbo."

tommy looks at tubbo, then at me, "no absolutely fucking not."

we walk over towards the front room, "whats through this door?" tommy asks.

"don't go through it, thats my way home." i say.

"what would you do if we went through?" tommy asks.

"i mean i could kill you before you go through. you could through, but tubbo can't because then i'd kill him." i respond.

"oh." tubbo says backing up.

"but listen," we walk into the middle of the room, "i wanna give you your chance to say goodbye."

"i'm not going to say goodbye, we'll fucking get out of here alright?" tommy says.

"you mean, you'll get out of here, but," i look at tubbo, "tubbo won't."

"like i said tubbo's a pawn." i say.

"i'm not a pawn." tubbo says sadly.

"he's a pawn," i look at tommy and nod, "just say your goodbyes." i push them further away.

tommy's pov

"he's not going to kill you, he's not going to fucking kill you. he needs you just as much as he needs me," i exclaim, "we can make it through the door, tubbo, we can."

"we would be dead before we make it there," tubbo says hopeless, "too much of a distance, it's alright we had some laughs, it was fun while it lasted."

"what you just accepted it?" i ask letting out a little chuckle, "don't just accept it now. we never accept defeat, we never do."

"there is no way to escape, we would be dead by the time we get to the door and the lift can't be used right now because we would be dead," tubbo says, "yeah it's over. all good things must come to an end eventually."

there was no way dream was going to kill tubbo, there was no way. even if there was i wouldn't let him, i wouldn't let him kill my best friend.

"tubbo, tubbo what i am without you?" i ask.

he makes eye contact and takes a deep breath, "you're yourself tommy."

"so you're accepting this." i ask.

"yeah, it's alright, it's alright. hey it was fun we said our goodbyes." tubbo responds.

"you know how he described me as a pawn, well this is checkmate." tubbo says.

we stood in silence for a minute, " tubbo," i say while looking down, "even though for this entire time, i always regarded you as my sidekick. really tubbo, i was your sidekick. so please don't go." i look up.

"no it's fine," tubbo says walking up to dream, "it's about time anyway."

i saw someone come out of the doorway.
