Broken Mask| Fundy & Dream

"Big Q.. he.."

Tommy trailed off as he heard those words come out of Dream's mouth. The blonde sat down on an oak log, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"I didn't want to believe it either, Tommy. Believe me."

Tommy didn't know how to feel, he was terrified, upset, angry. Why would.. how could?

"Does Tubbo know?" The blonde asked, "He doesn't keep up with me, so I assume he knows?"

"He does." Dream nods, "We all saw the arresting."

Tommy looked down at the ground, he then looked back up at Dream. His eyes filled with slight tears.

"I wanna see him. I want to see my best friend."

  Alex sat in the temporary holding cell. His eyes red and puffy from crying so much. His hair messy from ruffling it.

How could this happen? He never murdered Sam. There had to be a mistake.

"Big Q?"

Alex's head grazed up and a half smile appeared on his face.

"Hey Tommy."

Tommy looked over at Dream, who pulled the leaver of the holding cell (Tommy had been told that he was only allowed 15 minutes.)

The iron bars sunk down, and Tommy hugged Alex with tight arms. The teens just comforting each other.

"What happened?" Tommy asked.

"I- I don't know, man.." Alex's voice strained. "I was hanging out with Karl, only to be arrested for Sam's murder. I didn't even know what was happening." He sniffled, wiping his tears away. "I'm fucking terrified. I rather be exiled."

"I rather take your place, you're like a brother to me, and seeing you like this, makes me wanna fucking kill someone." Tommy murmured.

"I thought Tubbo was like a brother to you?" Alex asked.

"Traitors aren't allowed in my family."

Alex nods, "Fuck man, I wish you were here. You'd make things so much better."

"Big Q, listen to me. I know you didn't commit this, you and Sam were closer than ever. Something isn't right, and i swear to fucking god, I will bail you." Tommy promised.

"How? Dream has you on watch.."

"Trust me. He won't know what's coming."

  Fundy walked down the gravel path to the four gravestones. But, he had his eyes on one in particular. He kneeled down in front of it.

Sam Nook

June 1996 — February 2021

Loving boyfriend, Respected Officer, Loyal Friend.

"Hey Sam.." Fundy murmured, sitting gently on the space next to the gravestone. "I'm.. I'm sorry for what I said to you that day. I should've stopped." He sighed, "I miss you, man. I mean, I know I can't technically say, but.. L'manberg needs you."

  The fox looked down at the bouquet of flowers he brought with him, and placed them in a small compartment.

"I hope you like sunflowers. It was the only thing I could really find." He chuckled, "Well, I'd love to stick around, but I gotta go. Duty calls."

He got up and looked over at the two other graves. He pulled out two sunflowers and laid them on the patches of dirt, before turning away and leaving.

A hand grabbed the bouquet of sunflowers. Bloodied bare feet standing on the grass.

"Thank you, Fundy." Sam looked up with a bloodied smile.
