'Big man?'

Tubbo

''No, no it can't be'' he stutters

''Show me your hand'' I say quickly

He practically ran at me and put his hand out

'It's true'

I hold my hand out for him to see.

''Tubbo'' he chokes out

'The rings are the same'

We stare at each other clearly shocked

We tackle each other in a tight hug and sway a bit hitting the door.

After like 3 minutes of hugging, tears, and laughter we separate at just stare at each other giggling and smiling.

"I've missed you so much big man," he says with a smile that reaches his eyes

"I thought I'd never see you again," I say laughing

He looks at Phil and basically asks him something without speaking, Phil nods and I look at my dad, yes dad, and he smiles down at me.

Tommy grabs my hand and drags me to his room

He shuts the door as soon as we get in and we hug again

"We need to catch up big man," he says and I nod

We sit on the floor and start telling each other about our lives after we got separated

---Time skip---

"So what happened to you big man, I thought you were living with Mr and Mrs Jones," he asks while messing with the ring I gave him

"I-I ran away after I found out what they had been doing to you, th-then I ended up in foster care again" I explained not making eye contact

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know" I added

He stops messing with the ring and pulls me into a hug, he rested his chin on my head as I hugged him back.

'It's alright tubbo you didn't know" he says trying to comfort me

"It's not your fault, I'm just glad they didn't hurt you" he continued

I nod and pull out of the hug, looking at him I lay on my back.

He lays next to me and we stare at the ceiling

"So...do they know about...you know, you?" I ask continuing the conversation

"Ab-about, me being trans?" he whispers looking over at me

"Well yeah, I-I don't want to let anything slip if they don't," I say returning eye contact

"Well then no, they don't know yet and I'm not sure how to tell them," he says looking back at the ceiling

I nod and go into thought leaving us in silence

Tommy

"We'll do you want them to know?" Tubbo says breaking the silent atmosphere

I think for a second

"I-I honestly don't know big man," I tell him sitting up and leaning on my bed

He sits up slightly, leaning on his elbows.

"I mean you are the only person I've told, well besides the foster workers but that didn't go too well" I add and start to mess with my ring a bit

He nods

"It's hard to explain because I do want them to know but I don't at the same time, I just don't want to be misgendered anymore but I don't truly know if I trust them like...that," I say not meeting eye contact

He listens quietly

"I...you remember how hard it was for me to tell you, and I mean I trusted you enough to tell you, I'm yet to have that trust with Phil and everyone, it's only been a month and a half big man," I say as my eyes start to sting

He's silent at first before sitting right next to me, I look at him and our eyes meet.

"Look, I know that it's hard, but I'd say that Phil, Techno, and Wilbur, are going to be some of the most supportive people in your life. And I mean it's not my place to say anything but I think that maybe you should talk about it with techno first, o-of course only if you'd feel comfortable, but I think he would be most understanding just trust me on that" he says while putting his head on my shoulder

I put my head on his and we sit in silence

"I trust you big man, thank you," I say, allowing a few silent tears to fall

Phil

The pair run upstairs hand in hand and Niki and wil make their way to the kitchen leaving Schlatt, minx and I alone.

Our eyes meet and we all have grins plastered on our faces

"Guess wil was right," I say

"Yeah, so how have you been old friend?" Schlatt ask, sitting together on the L couch

I go and sit across from them and sip on the coffee I made earlier

"I've been well, still adapting to having a daughter now you know, she's an interesting character," I say

"How so?" He asks, elbows on his knees

I look at him and set my mug down

"Well I mean, she was really quiet at first, she didn't leave her room unless we called for her and even then she didn't talk much, what really surprised me was how she acts, like she doesn't like shopping in the girls' section, she's always talking about video games or sports, and even though she tries to hide it I can tell how uncomfortable she gets when we call her anything feminine related" I explain occasionally drinking from my mug

He looks at minx and then back at me before nodding

"She reminds me of techno if I'm being honest," I say

"That's what I was thinking," he said as minx nods

He looks out the window for a few seconds before his eyes met mine again

"You don't think..." he trails off

I look at him before tilting my head to the side

"I mean it's always a possibility," I say knowing exactly what he was referring to

"I just hope we can make them comfortable enough to say something if that is the case," I tell him

He nods at me fixing his hat

'If that is the case...'
