Possession -Partial DadSchlatt AU-

Chapter 10

Tubbo slowly removed himself from the hug, Schlatt did the same, Tubbo stood up and put his hand out for Schlatt to grab. Schlatt took Tubbo's hand and stood up, "We have to work together okay Schlatt?" Schlatt nodded, his eyes had turned to white and he stopped crying during the hug minutes ago, though his expression still laid empty. Tubbo sighed, the silence was killing him but Schlatt was.. in a situation Tubbo didn't want to force him out of. "We need to decide if we want to go back and hide somewhere, or go somewhere else." As Tubbo tried thinking of what places they could even go besides back to L'Manburg, he found himself thinking of nothing. "Tommy." Schlatt spoke quietly. "Like find him in exile?" "Yeah, so you can have someone to talk to." 

"But Schlatt I can talk to you." 

"You'll get bored of conversations with me, let's find Tommy." 

"How would I get bored?"

"If I go into panic episodes every few hours I'll constantly bring down the happiness in you." 

"I am still here to help you when that happens." 

"Tubbo we're finding Tommy." 

"What if I refuse to go?" 

"Tubbo fucking listen to me, stop trying to be a hero and just admit you wouldn't last a week alone with me."

"Schlatt I could!" 

"Tubbo." 

"Schlatt!" Schlatt started walking past Tubbo in a direction towards the ocean. "Don't just ignore me!" Tubbo sighed getting no reply, he then gave in and followed after Schlatt, silence filling the air as they walked. As they approached the water, they had nothing to cross it with. "I'll make a boat." Tubbo spoke starting to look for a tree. Schlatt stood still staring at the water, glistening and calm in the day, slight waves came up onto the area of sand before the land was taken over by grass and dirt, his eyes faded to black though no tears fell. Tubbo eventually finished making a boat and pushed it into the water. "Hop in Schlatt." Schlatt hopped over into the boat, Tubbo hopping in right after. As Tubbo set off sailing towards the direction Tommy went, Schlatt continued to watch the water as they crossed over it. "Schlatt, why do your eyes turn white and black?" Schlatt shrugged not really paying attention to Tubbo's question. "Schlatt?" 

"Hmm?" Schlatt zoned back in, his eyes turning white again. 

"Nothing." Tubbo mumbled, Schlatt turned his head towards Tubbo, Tubbo avoiding eye contact with Schlatt. "Tubbo." 

"Yeah Schlatt?" 

"Was I.. Was I a good dad? Or person?" 

"I would say ye.." Tubbo thought for a second before answering, Schlatt's ghost was the most redeeming thing about Schlatt, he wasn't incredibly cruel to the world, and it cared, but Schlatt, alive Schlatt, was no good. He went from giving up Tubbo when he was a couple years old to kicking people out of a country, and ultimately being the death of a country. "Maybe." 

"That's not a real answer Tub." 

"Tubbo." Tubbo started getting defensive remembering how Schlatt left him when he was so young.

"Tubbo, are you okay?" 

"Let's focus on finding Tommy right now." 

"Okay." Schlatt felt bad, looking down with a completely running brain. As he stared down at his legs, he felt himself feeling a bit of dissociation from the world, and his eyes turned black, his brain switching off quickly after. Schlatt lifted his head to look at the water, while Tubbo continued to search the waters for wherever Tommy was.

After several hours of searching and Tubbo wanting to give up, he saw a pocket of land, his eyes searching the land. "A tent."
