My Bee, Your Bee - Tubbo (Dream SMP )

Broken Sentences

Tubbo was bored. Of course he was bored, a homeless 7 year old with nothing to look at but brick walls, no school to turn to and no chores to tend to. He had gotten tired of exploring the town as of late, passing the same old shops and the same old alleyways wasn't very exciting in the long run.

Tubbo still wore the cap what he had been gifted from Tommy, the only real human contact he had since- well, his mother wasn't exactly fond of physical affection either or even speaking to the boy, but it was nice to finally have that for once. It seemed that the general public weren't too concerned about helping a clearly abandoned child, with the appearance and speech of a 4 year old.

Today was like any day. Staring at the faults in the brick walls, counting the ants that run across his muddy shoes. He didn't know how they had gotten muddy in the first place, since he was in the town center but decided not to ponder on the thought. In the not so silent alley there was a sound, standing out from the other loud noises of the town as it was clearly nearby.

Footsteps got closer to the boy as a person passed through the dark alley in the middle of the day, Tubbo stopped whatever he was doing and turned towards the sound, angling his neck in an unnatural way. Approaching quickly was a tall man, and when he thought tall he really meant it... This man was unnaturally long, and would definitely tower over the small boy, Tubbo would be intimidated if not for the man's short, fluffy baby pink hair, he almost let out a giggle at the sight. Tubbo clenched a hand over his mouth to stop himself from being heard, the pink haired man had clearly not seen him yet.

Tubbo saw as the guy's eyes shifted towards his small heap of items and then towards himself. They locked eyes for a second until the shifty looking man turned to look at the wall instead but stopped in his tracks, fiddling with his hands as he shifted from foot to foot. "Uhh... Hullo" He said, clearly directed at the boy. "Hey!" Tubbo responded enthusiastically, standing up from his sitting position and wiping the stones and dirt from his pants.

"Wh-Wha'cha doin'" He spoke in a broken sentence as Tubbo often did himself. He shrugged his shoulders and need his small teeth in a smile, "I 's Tubbo" He introduced himself. The man let out a short breath of tension, noting how the boy dismissed his question. "W-well I'm Tec-Techno" The pink haired man hesitantly told Tubbo, deciding to get back on track. "Are y'r parents a-around?" This made Toby's face scrunch up... Thinking of his mother- It wasn't a very pleasent experience, memories running through his mind at rapid speed.

The reaction by the boy made Techno panic a bit, what would he do now? He didn't know how to handle children, and this kid's parents clearly weren't around. He had no facility to deal with a young child.

"Uhh... 'lright, cmon kid l-lemme t-t-take you somewh-where. Don't wo-worry, just tr-trust me..." Without much thought, Tubbo grabbed his items and wrapped them in his jumper, clutching them to his chest tightly with one arm and leaving the other to lay limply at his side. His bright and innocent eyes stared up into the awkward eyes of Technoblade, clearly awaiting instruction. Tubbo had built his trust upon the man too easily and didn't want to disobey him already, that always made them disappointed.

Techno held out his hand in invitation and Tubbo stared back in confusion, his brows furrowing and his eyes shifted towards his items and back to the hand. He slowly raised his arm from its protective hold towards the tall man, who dismissed the action immediately and grabbed his other hand in a gentle grip.

It was difficult for Techno to upkeep his awkward manner around the boy, he triggered his protective side. He couldn't let Tubbo get in the wrong hands, especially not with his constant need to obey authority. They walked out of the alley, still cautious of each other, Tubbo more so due to the way Techno treated him gently and with so much... Care. He didn't understand at all.

They didn't have to walk far before the taller male began to slow on the pavement, slowly approaching the doors of the store Tubbo had visited not too long before. Well, he never did go inside the building but the warmth he felt from inside out was enough to create a clear memory. That and the way the store worker had shunned him away- a positive experience what was ruined by a bitter man.

Tubbo halted in his step, letting his hand fall from Technoblade's grip, who turned to look at him in curiosity. Tubbo shook his head tightly. He had no idea why he was bringing him here but he didn't want to think about what that strange man would say to him if he arrived at his store for the second time- he shuddered even thinking about it.

After around 3 minutes of standing his ground in protest and silence, there was a loud chime at the door opening. Oh god. Head darting to the side he spotted the clearly recognisable but blank face of the store worker.

"What's this Techno?" He muttered. Tubbo shuddered and hid behind the man he had met shortly before.
