☁️ weather alert ☁️

i thought i recognised you

The door opened not too long after. In came a happy ram and a young piglin.

"Michael wait they havent said its ok to go inside yet!" Tubbo yelled giggling down the hall. By that point Michael was already in the room ready to jump onto his other father wanting a hug.

Ranboo put down the slightly blood stained damp cloth as he heard the child entering the room, leaving an irritated tingling feeling in fingers, as he opened his arms for the young piglin to jump into. Which he did. This was Phils first time seeing Michael up close though it was a shame the poor child had to see him for the first time like this. Phil smiles pulling his hat down over his face to hide it. Seeing Ranboo hugging Michael like that, it reminded him of when Will was little. Everything was so perfect back then and Phil wished it had stayed that way.

Phil watched thinking to himself. He hopes Michael wont turn out like Will, no not hopefully. Michael will not turn out like Will. Unlike Will, The piglin had two stable supportive fathers who would love and care for him even centuries after their time.Will on the other hand, didn't receive much support after he could talk and walk due to Phils absence as well as lack of effort and knowledge due to no parenting experience. Phil thought back about it all, where he eventually came to the conclusion he will protect Ranboo and Tubbos kid, as if Michael was his own, this time though he will make sure he does it right. He doesn't want the two parents to feel what he did. The guilt of murdering your own son will still get to him months maybe even years after his death.

Tubbo came running in the room after Michael worried Ranboo was too busy to look after the kid.
"Michael, what did i say! you shouldn't go in rooms people are using without their permission. Especially if theres someone who is hurt"

"dont worry Tubbo, I may be old but i for sure aint weak enough to be that hurt by glass"

Phil says not realising the young ram had absolutely no idea how he knew his name. Tubbo stood there confused and shocked that the strange bird man knew his name.

"How do you know me?" Tubbo says pointing at the man with an utterly bamboozled look. He recognised the man, he just didn't know where from.

"You seriously don't remember me do you?"

"No?"

"Im Wilbur's dad, how do you not remember me? I literally helped you rebuild L'manburg"

"PHIL!? OH MY GOD YOU LOOK SO DIFFERENT, I DIDNT EVEN RECOGNISE YOU! ITS SO STRANGE NOT SEEING YOU IN ARMOUR"

Tubbo jumps back in shock and excitement as he hasn't seen Phil in a long time and he used to love seeing Phil as he was always super nice.

That was until he got into contact with Technoblade. Techno was pushy when he came to his beliefs and if you didnt agree with him he would make sure to make you agree with him or show you that you were wrong. Tubbo was afraid of Techno, partly due to his past interactions but also due to the fact techno helped destroy the old country of L'manburg twice.

Phil smiles awkwardly and then laughs as he says "We really havent seen each other in a long time have we, I did not think the child ranboo was bringing to my home was also yours."

"wait, you saw that?"

"Of course i did! I was confused at first but i decided to let you be as what you do when i'm not there is none of my business"

The enderman covered his face in his hands, he was embarrassed but he had to deal with the shame after not telling Phil about Michael beforehand. the laughs and giggles slowly came to a halt as they realised the piglin had fallen asleep in his fathers arms. none of them wanted to wake the boy up. though after about a minute of comfortable silence tubbo finally spoke up,

"so what should we do about Michaels room? we cant get foolish here because of the storm but we cant leave it untouched."

he pointed at the door as a cold gush of wind came in the room.
