Tubbo Angst/Fluff OneShots!!

{*. A Wolf And A Dog .*}

It had been a long and miserable winter for Tommy. His hunting had not gone well for many weeks and his ribs were nearly sticking through his skin.

One night, as Tommy was out seeking something to eat, he met a house dog.

"You are looking very well, Buddy," said Tommy. "Here I am, near starvation, and you are clearly well-fed. What is your secret?"

"Oh, there is no secret," said Tubbo. "I simply have a wonderful job. I guard my master's house and keep away any thieves. In return, he treats me very well."

"Lucky for you! If only I had it so easy. For me, life is a constant struggle."

"But you can have this grand life, too," said Tubbo. "Just travel with me to my master's house and help me keep the thieves away."

"Happily," said Tommy. "I'd love to have a belly full of food for a change."

While they were trotting along together, Tommy spotted a mark on Tubbo's neck. Curious, he asked what had caused it.

"Oh, that's nothing much," replied Tubbo. "Perhaps my collar was a little tight."

"You wear a collar?" Tommy backed away from Tubbo.

"That's nothing to worry about," said Tubbo. "I wear a collar so my master can hook my chain to it."

"You are chained?" cried Tommy in surprise. "You mean you are not free to go wherever you please?"

"Not exactly," said Tubbo, looking embarrassed. "You see, my master thinks I'm a bit wild and so he ties me up in the daytime. But he lets me run free at night."

Tommy backed a few more steps away from Tubbo.

"Tommy, it's a good deal," said Tubbo. "I get plenty of sleep during the day, and then I am free at night. I am my master's favorite and he feeds me very well."

Tommy turned and started to walk toward the forest.

"But wait, where are you going?" cried Tubbo.

"Good night to you, my friend," said Tommy. "You are welcome to your grand life — and your chains. As for me, I will keep my freedom."
