Tommy pov

"♫I thought I couldn't love anymore

Turns out I can't, but not for the same reasons as before

I use everyone I ever meet

I can't find the perfect match

Abuse those I love

While I ostracize the ones who love me

Back

On the path of least resistance, I find myself salting the Earth

Every time that I miss you

I feel the way you hurt

And I don't deserve you

You deserve the world

Though it feels like we were built

From the same dirt

I hate to say it

But my mum was right

Don't trust English boys

With far too much free time

And I hate to say it

But my mum was right

I'm nothing but a problem

Leave dad crying overnight

And I hate to say it

But my mum was right

I can't focus on the future only my short sight

I hate to say it

But my mum was right

I'm a wanker

Complete wanker

A fucking waste of time♫" he finishes and opens his eyes as tears slowly roll down his cheeks, "so what do you think?" Wilbur says his voice wobbling slightly, he keeps looking down as tears fall onto his guitar. I'm absolutely speechless, finally, he looks up at me and his face contorts into one of worry and sets his guitar down and then walks over to me "Tommy? Your crying" he says, I reach up and feel wet on my cheeks "oh," I blink rapidly, almost like Im coming out of a dream "sorry Wil it was amazing" I say still kinda out of it "are you okay?" I hesitate "ya- ya all good," I pause "Wil- I- if, could I come with you to your next therapy meet?" I ask, and he smiles sincerely "of course," he says and moves to grab his guitar which he leaned against the stump he was sat on, "c'mon gremlin, let's go home," Wil says, it's mostly silent on the way home "did you know that that was the first time I've ever sung it through?", "I was the first person you ever sang all the way through to?" I ask in disbelief "not only all the way through but the first person who's ever heard it" he says proudly, holy crap, we fall into a comfortable silence and walk back to our house.

"Phil?! We're back!" Wilbur yells and there's a cluster of bangs and muffled curses that follow "careful Wil, you'll give gramps a heart attack," I hear Phil's loud sigh from the kitchen and burst out laughing "Bahahaheae-" I'm interrupted by my throat giving out and sending me into a coughing fit, what a disloyal throat. "You good there mate?" it takes a minute to respond "toms?" Phil asks again "yup, all good". "Alright, oh! Ranboo and Tubbo are upstairs in your room," Phil says "oh ok" I run upstairs and dash into my room "HELOO BOOB BOY!" I yell.

Ranboo stares at me blankly and sighs "Ranboo, and hello to you too," Tommy Ranboob responds "hey, Tommy," Tubbo greets from over at my desk "whatcha doin there Tubbs?" he rotates on the office chair and move out the way so I can see him sketching on my drawing iPad. "Ah, that's– uh, that's a lovely sun?" I guess "No, you dickhead it's Nuke! And, and it's exploding," he says excitedly "mhm, that's lovely Tubbo" Ranboo's head snaps at me "please, don't encourage him" he groans.

(just thought I should inform you that I accidentally pressed unpause on my earbud and was promptly jump scared by Ranboo screaming in my ear, I think I woke up the whole house)

I chuckle and sit down "so what do you big men and Ranboo think about a trip to London?" I ask, Tubbo grins but Ranboo frowns "how would we get the tickets?" Ran asks and Tubbos grin falters "that and I'm not sure if Phil and Aunt Puffy would let us" Tubbo chimes in "well, who said we were asking," I say as I pull out Wilbur's debit card.

"Lunch!" Niki yells up and Tubbo locks eyes with me "Race you!" Tubbo yells as he rushes through my doorway "How fucking dare you! You cheated!" I scream after him as I run down the stairs as well "oh fuck!" Tubbo trips and eats shit "ha bozo," I say as I rush past him.
