UR POV

everyone cheered as we walked to the center of l'manberg. we had won the war. schlatt was gone. wilbur was pushed to the front and led to the podium to make his speech as president of l'manberg.

(lol i don't remember what he said exactly so i'm making this up)

"hello everyone!" wilbur said cheerfully into the mic. "schlatt is gone now, and i  have been appointed as l'manberg's president.

"but, i cannot take that role. i cannot be president after everything that has happened here. it is time for a new era. i'm going to have to hand over the presidency to my right hand man, tommyinnit!"

i cheered along with everyone else as tommy walked up to the podium next to wilbur in shock.

wilbur clapped tommy on the back and winked before walking off of the stage.

i kept my eyes on wilbur as he left the stage. instead of joining all of us in the audience, he went around to the area behind the stage.

"hey, i'll be right back," i whispered to tubbo as i slipped out of the crowd to follow wilbur.

i was worried about him. throughout all of this his mental state had greatly deteriorated. he was erratic and impulsive these days. and he still knew where the button was.

wilbur was my best friend, and for a moment i thought that things could be okay. that we could move on and live in peace in l'manberg together. but now i was just scared again. scared that he was going to finish what he started so long ago.

i quietly followed wilbur as i saw him descend down a trapdoor hidden in a grassy hill.

my heart dropped as my worst fears were being confirmed. he was going to push the button.

i ran over to the trapdoor and threw it open. wilbur had just reached the bottom of the ladder and looked up to meet my eyes. he froze for a second and in that split second we both listened to tommy and tubbo celebrating the future of their country in the distance. i could see regret flash across his face for a split second. he quickly regained his composure, and  went to walk down the tunnel leading to the button room.

i went down the ladder as fast as i could. when i hit the bottom i looked down the jagged tunnel he had carved out months ago in preparation. i maneuvered around the jagged rocks and tight spaces as quickly as i could. tubbo's voice from the stage still echoed through the tunnel as i moved.

in a moment i had reached the room. wilbur was standing in front of the button, frozen in place.

"...me and tommy will lead l'manberg to greatness!" we heard tubbo announce on the microphone. muffled cheers could also be heard in this small room.

"wilbur...what are you doing?" i asked, trying to keep the anger out of my voice. we had worked so hard and won and he just wanted to throw it all away. 

"i have to do this. this has to happen (y/n)." the man said turning around to face me.

"will..." my voice cracked. i was feeling every single emotion all at once.

"l'manberg can never be the same (y/n). we need to wipe the slate clean and start over." he said firmly, inching towards the button.

i rushed to him and tried to yank him away from the button. he stumbled into me a little bit. he quickly straightened himself and looked down at me.

"we can be free.."

"we're already free will! we can have a life here now. schlatt is gone!" i exclaimed to him, trying to convey to him that we were okay.

he roughly shoved me away from him, causing me to fall to the floor.

"WILL CANT YOU SEE?!" i yelled standing back up and facing him. "WE CAN HAVE A LIFE TOGETHER. THE ONE THAT WE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT!"

i thought back to all of the times that me and wilbur would sit on a hill outside of pogtopia together. we would look at the stars and talk about sharing a life together. we talked about the house we would share and even about the sticky, loud kids we would have running around.

we fell in love during that time. and now he was just going to throw it all away.

"(y/n)...we can still be together. this is just a little more...permanent?" he tried to joke. the joke did not land read the room wilbur.

he went to walk over to the button and i knew i had to act quick. i ran and tackled him to the floor right under the button. he tried to reach up to still hit the button but i pinned his arm down.

"WILBUR YOU FUCKING IDIOT! STOP BEING SO FUCKING SELFISH!"

he stopped struggling and he went silent. i loosened my hold on him and looked at him. he looked back at me for a long time until he sat up and closed the gap between us.

the kiss was sweet, and i could tell that we had both wanted this for so long. we pulled apart and just looked at each other.

"i love you (y/n)," he started. "but it was never meant to be."

his arm had slid up to finally press the button. the tnt around us began to hiss as tears filled my eyes. i pushed myself away from him, crying.

and then blah blah bright light explosion dead sorry
