Tommy & Tubbo || Platonic Oneshots

Horns

This is set during the start of Schlatt's dictatorship, not long after Technoblade joined Pogtopia, and then it skips to Tommy's exile. This is kind of a DadSchlatt AU, so of course Tubbo has horns and other features, but they only start growing when Schlatt is around him for a certain amount of time.

Tubbo

      When Schlatt first visited the SMP, I didn't think much of him. He was funny, I guess, but that was it. When he got kicked out by Dream, I didn't feel too upset about it, unlike Tommy.

      About half an hour after he'd left, my head had started to feel like someone was trying to pry my skull open and my back was aching severely. I ended up passing out from the pain, but when I woke up, the feeling was gone and I thought it was just from not properly resting for a while.

      When he visited for the second time, I was only happy about it because I thought he was going to help POG2020 win the election. Everyone did. But then he ran against them, making a deal with Quackity and eventually winning the election.

      He had called for me to be his right-hand man. I knew it would hurt Tommy if I took the job, but I was afraid.

      The night Schlatt had exiled Tommy and Wilbur was the same night that the splitting headache and severe back pain returned. For the first few days of Schlatt's presidency, I would pass out every night from the immense pain coming from my skull and spine. I didn't know what was going on, so I would just lay curled up on the floor, clutching my head, waiting for my consciousness to slip away.

      A week after the migraines and backache had started, I decided to see if Will could help. He knew more about me than I did, considering his father was the one who found me.

      So, when Schlatt was busy with something unrelated to me, I went to Pogtopia. When I got there, I saw Wilbur making lanterns while Tommy 'decorated' nearby. I couldn't see Techno anywhere, but I didn't really care.

      Will looked up from the crafting table that he was hunched over at the sound of my footsteps coming towards him and smiled. "Tubbo, hey!"

      "Hey, Wilbur," I gave him a small smile in return. "I need to ask you something."

      "Sure, what's up?"

      "Well," I started, unsure how to phrase it. "I've been getting these awful migraines and really bad back pains recently, every night since Schlatt came back. Is there anything you know that could help?"

      Will frowned in thought, folding his arms and staring at the floor. "I'm not sure, actually. Do you know what could be causing them?"

      I shook my head, which ended up being a very bad idea, because a migraine suddenly hit me at full force. I fell to my knees and squeezed my eyes shut, curling in on myself and clutching my head as tight as I could, as if it would help.

      My ears started to ache as I heard Will saying my name in a worried tone, asking what was wrong. I felt his hand on my shoulder, gently shaking me, trying to get my attention. I heard Tommy call out my name in concern, then footsteps running over to me and stopping by Wilbur. The pain split open my skull, forcing a scream out of me before I started to lose consciousness, collapsing to the ground and letting everything fade away.
