Good Things Never Last

Chapter 36

"Sapnap what the fuck is she doing here?"

As I gazed up at the enraged masked man, a smirk formed on my face. Entirely unaffected by his presence, a giggle escaped my lips.

"Why don't you shut that mouth of yours for once piss baby? I'm going to say my final goodbyes to my brother before he dies, thanks to you. So I would appreciate it if you kindly got the fuck out of my way and pissed off"
My grin widened as I realised I had left the green giant speechless. I pushed past him and made my way over to my brother and his friends.

"I'll be back in five Sap!"
He briefly nodded as he handed me the end of a rope that was keeping my wrists bound. I knew better than to try and untie the knot, as it would cause a scene, so I just kept on walking. When I looked behind me, I saw an outraged Dream whispering ranting to a fairly amused Sapnap, while a specific brunette with goggles joyfully eavesdropped. I did ask him about what he said later on because I had more pressing concerns at that moment.

Before I could even fully turn back around, two long arms drew me into their owner's chest, followed by numerous more arms wrapping around me.

When I looked up, I found myself face to face with my younger brother. A happy, genuine smile appeared on my face at the sight. The young bee-loving boy on my left had a cheesy grin on his face. The one and only curly legend stood on my right, meaning the fox boy had to be behind me.

The boys let go after what seemed like an eternity, each coming to a stop in front of me with a cheesy grin on their faces.

"Ah look, the toddler is back"
As I stared up at the giant known as Wilbur, I let out an overdone gasp, stumbling backwards while raising my bound wrists to my chest in fake disbelief.
"Not my fault your lanky"
It was then Wilbur's turn to look shocked and stumble backwards, which made me and the rest of the group laugh.

"Right right, anyways, it's good to see you back Y/N"
"The pleasure's mine, Mr. President"
Wilbur's grin widened even more as he realised that my old self is still alive and well within me.
"Okay, let's not get distracted. So as I was saying before, we were rudely interrupted. Does anyone have a bow? "
Rolling my eyes, a serious atmosphere surrounded the group of us.

Fundy took a step forward, removing his old bow from his back and placed it in his fox paws in front of Tommy.
"Listen Tommy, I'm not fully supporting your decisions with this whole duel thing, but good luck"
Fundy carefully lays the bow in the hands of the younger blond before bringing Tubbo to the side of the path L'manburg would be standing on the duel, leaving me with the youngest and eldest of the bunch.

"Tommy. This is for the revolution, this is for our great nation's independence. You can't take this lightly"
The smiles that had formerly graced the boy's features had faded, revealing the severity of the situation.
"What happens if I miss?"
"Tommy, this was your condition. I told you your passion and the fire in your heart is brilliant for the war, but it's not good in these situations. You really have got yourself into a mess"

Wilbur then turned and walked towards the centre of the wooden path, where he would meet with the opposition to discuss the regulations, leaving me and Tommy alone.
"Do I shoot him Y/N or do I aim for the skies?"
In an attempt to comfort him, I threw my bound arms over his head and rested them on his shoulders, bringing him into the best embrace I could give with my tied hands.

"I want you to do whatever your heart says Tommy. No matter what you do, I'll stand by your side. I think you can do it Tommy, I think you can beat him. You just need to believe in yourself to do so"
A small smile appeared on his face as he looked down at me.
