Still Friends? (Eret and Tubbo)

Requested by DizzyDizzdoodle

(After the great L'manburg and the Dream SMP war, guilt and regret tends to build up inside Eret.)

(Based on my Minecraft AU)

Angst and Fluff becuz I ain't that cruel, aren't I?

..........

Eret raised his diamond sword up high, and watched as the fire spread across the fields of L'manburg. His team laughing and cheering in victory, while Eret stayed quiet and watched as the people in L'manburg struggled to solve their current situation.

Eret looked at each member, one by one. Just seeing their faces and emotions makes him feel guilty as hell. Regret was a painful feeling because he knew that his action wouldn't be forgotten, and will never be.

"Eret! I fought for you for hours!" Now, that voice almost made him broke down in front of all.

He lowered down his sword and looked towards Tubbo. His eyes filled with tears and his clothes were stained with his own blood. Tommy beside him, shouting at Eret while he just stayed there, silent.

Eret told himself to show no emotion, no mercy. He was told to do that.

"Join us or they get it."

That was what he was told when he was dragged into the forest by Dream and his team. Do this, do that. He did all of that, because he didn't want anything bad happening to his friends.

Was it worth it? No it wasn't. His friends still felt remorse and pain, it was even worse when a portion of their pain was caused by him. Eret himself, he swore not to failed them, and he did.

Wilbur, he trusted Eret the most, only to have that trust instantly shatter into pieces right here and now.

Tommy, the man he fought by his side, now Eret fighting him.

Fundy, the man who had a special place in his heart, Fundy probably has now changed his thoughts of Eret.

Nihachu, she stayed with him when was in his lowest, but now he couldn't be with her to help now.

And, Tubbo. How many times have they fought together. Tubbo dying all over again and respawning, taking all of those hits just for Eret. The trauma, the war, and now Eret was part of his trauma.

He smiled, taking in all of the shouting towards him. A small tear slowly running down his cheek, and slowly blending in with his blood.

..........

After a month, L'manburg got their independence. He was happy, but now he wished he was celebrating with them.

Cold and dark, the moon was up. The dark trees hovered over Eret, while he stood still in the middle. He had been crying, then anger hit him.

An arrow flew past him and struck a tree. Skeletons and zombies were walking towards. Eret groaned in anger and tugged onto his hair. He didn't even bother to pull out a weapon, he just attacked the zombie with his bare hands.

Realising all of his anger, and just dumping his pain to the mobs he continued fighting. Eret didn't want this, they didn't deserve this, they didn't deserve him. He punched the last skeleton into a tree and it turned into puffs of smoke.

A branch snapped behind Eret. He immediately turned around and swung his fist at it.

"Eret!"

Eret immediately stopped his body from doing anything else and opened his eyes. He slowly put his fist back down when he realized who it was.

Tubbo was shielding himself from what he thought was an attack with his arms. He was shaking, shivering in the cold. He looked frightened, terrified. Tubbo slowly uncovered himself and looked at Eret.

"Tubbo!" Eret covered his mouth with one hand and let out his other to see if there were any injuries that landed on Tubbo.

He immediately pulled that hand back once he remembered what he had done.

"I-I'm sorry." Eret took a few steps back, confusing the boy. "I shouldn't be here."

"But-"

"You shouldn't be here, Tubbo." Eret fixed his sunglasses and sighed sadly. "After what I've done to you. You shouldn't be here with me."

Tubbo blinked a couple of times, and wiped the tears that were forming with wrist.

"I wasn't, and still is, a good friend to you, Tubbo." Eret told him. "You were with me, but now I pay you with this."

"But I don't care!" Tubbo shouted, silencing Eret for once. "You treated like you were a brother to me, a friend. And I want my brother back." Tubbo voice cracked when the tears were coming back again.

"I just want my brother back. I'm scared that I'm going to lose a friend like you because of this, Eret. Celebrating without you isn't the same." Tubbo covered his eyes as he sobbed, wiping the tears away.

Eret shook his head, refusing to see Tubbo like this. He walked over to Tubbo and gave him the biggest hug Tubbo could ever had.

The boy buried his head into Eret's shirt, like how a child of a mother would when they would get scared. Eret sighed and patted Tubbo on the back, mumbling that it would be okay.

"Are we still friends?" Eret heart Tubbo's voice muffled.

Eret chuckled and brushed Tubbo's hair.

"Yeah, we are." Eret answered.
