Lilith's POV:

"I never lie."

They all couldn't help but laugh. As Wilbur, Ranboo, Jack, Tubbo, and Lilith sat on the couch across from Tommy, she couldn't help but wonder what would happen. They had been asked to prepare questions. Upon asking Tommy what his boundaries were in terms of questions, Lilith quickly found there were almost none. She had to come up with something good. It was Lilith's first video since the face reveal, and she wouldn't miss this chance to mess with him a bit. That was until she realized they had all planned on doing the same thing.

"Do you like Lilith as more than a friend"

The whole room was so silent Lilith swore she could hear her own heartbeat. The girl could feel everyone staring at her as she turned towards Wilbur and Tommy. To be perfectly honest, she didn't know what to do. She probably looked like a goldfish staring in their direction with so many thoughts in her head it looked like there were none.

"No."

There was a pause. A moment where Lilith felt as if time had stopped. She had never been this nervous in her life.

"He's telling the truth"

Lilith felt a weight lift off her shoulders slightly. It's not that she didn't want him to like her. She was just scared. Scared, she would be rejected, or he would find her weird and not want to be friends anymore. She couldn't risk that, and she couldn't risk her feelings getting in the way.

"Lil?"

"Hm?"

"You zoned out for a second. Um... it's your turn."

"Right, yeah, sorry."

Lilith shakily stood up and walked over to Tommy.

"Hi."

"Hi."

"So um.."

She stopped and took a deep breath. She couldn't let her emotions get in the way. Right now, she was Lilac.

"How do you really feel about Tubbo and Ranboo's platonic marriage?"

She was ok. Everything's ok, and she would be fine.

*time skip brought to you by my lack of sleep <3*

Tommy's POV

Tommy watched as Lilith walked back into the room. There was obviously something on her mind. But he made the right choice, right? He had lied, and to be perfectly honest, he still didn't know why the lie detector machine was incorrect. It left him more confused than when it said he was gay.

"Hey..."

"Hello, Lilith."

The girl walked over to where he was and sat down on a stool they had brought her to sit on. They sat in silence, and Tommy felt this was one of the most awkward conversations of his life. He usually thought that the silence in her presence was comfortable, but now, he was stuck. He had made this weird, didn't he?

"So I-"

"I wanted to as-"

"Sorry, you can go first."

"I just wanted to ask how you were"

"Good. How are you?"

"I'm fine. Thanks."

More silence. This wasn't getting put in the video; Tommy knew that for sure. He didn't need to be told by the internet that he was terrible at talking to girls for the second time. He looked at Russ, who stood behind the camera, confused.

"Alright, um... we've gotta move on. Let's get Wilbur in here."

She walked out without saying a word.

A/N: Before you get mad at me for being gone for so long. I HAVE REASONS, I SWEAR. My computer broke down, which meant I couldn't edit. Anyway, we're back to laptop land now, folks woooooo! I've already got big plans for the next few chapters, though. AND I already have another book in the works (not a Tommy x oc but oc with someone else), so that's coming as soon as I finish this (don't worry, we've got at least 10 chapters left.) AND I'm prewriting this time :D As always, everyone, do your work, eat food, drink water, and have a great day!
