Tommy POV-

"This is it?", Ranboo asked, the red liquid inside the small vial glowed with a sickening light, just looking at it made my stomach turn, "Yeah", I said, "It's called red venom, it's a drug being selled by some gang members that used to work for the heroes but went feral, it can enhance people's abilities and make them over a million times stronger and more dangerous, for instance, if people like Schlatt, or Philza consumed this stuff, well, the city would be in ruins", I explained, Tubbo nodded in agreement, "pretty op and pretty dangerous if in the wrong hands", Tubbo said, Ranboo shuddered, "op kinda seems like an understatement", Ranboo said, "Yeah, it's not very pog", I said, Tubbo put the vial in a black velvet box, "no it is not, but, When did you find it, Tommy?", Tubbo asked, I thought for a moment, "I've had it for a while actually, almost forgot I did until a few days ago, so I thought I'd let you check it out", "You've just- had it laying around?!", Tubbo yelled out, Ranboo flinched, "Tubbo-", Ranboo started, quickly getting cut off by Tubbo, "and you didn't think to tell us sooner, first you almost get caught by the top heroes, then you hide this?!"

I looked passed tubbo, where my bedroom door was, wide open, on my desktop, beside my bed, was a picture standing up on one of the shelves,

Deo had his arm wrapped around me in the frame, with Luke beside him smiling at me, and Bitzel next to me, resting his elbow on my shoulder, the frame of the photo was painted in mixtures of bright red, tangerine orange, cerulean blue and cobalt blue. Just like all four of us made it.

Ranboo POV-

Tommy stared passed Tubbo, "-didn't think to tell us sooner?! First you almost get caught by the top heroes, then you hide this?!", Tubbo yelled, Tommy walked passed him, and Tubbo went silent, turning to look at Tommy, watching as he closed his door, locking it with the gold key he kept on his necklace, it was just another charm next to the red sparkling bead that was outlined with gold. Tommy never let anyone touch his necklace.

"...Tommy?..", Tubbo whispered, as Tommy walked into the kitchen, Tubbo watched him with worried eyes.

"Sorry, I won't keep anything like that from you ever again", Tommy said tiredly, as he placed down a pot full of cheese Bucatini, filling two containers with it, "This is your guys lunch tomorrow, take it with you when you go to work, you can eat the rest when you come back if you'd like, I wont be home from work until around 12am to 1:30am", Tommy said, "That long??", I asked, "They saw my files, and asked...interesting questions, I think they expect more from me than they would an average assistant", Tommy said simply before cleaning up the kitchen and leaving quickly, locking his door again as he disappeared into his bedroom.

"Tubbo...", I whispered, "what's up with him?..", Tubbo asked quietly, I scoffed, "Tubbo, are you serious? You know how hard Tommy's trying, and all he gets for it is having to deal with you tell him how dangerous he's being, don't you think he knows that already?", I questioned, Tubbo seemed to shrink under my gaze and I softened, "I'm sorry Tubbo, I just- Tommy's trying, maybe a 'Thank you' would help him more than yelling at him for things he already knows", I explained, Tubbo's eyes widened with guilt, "shit- your right, I'll...I'll make it up to him tomorrow", "I know you will.."



Tommy POV-

I looked at the photo one more time before breaking.

Burning tears fell from my eyes, dripping on the photo, I missed them. I missed them so much.

It hurts.

It hurts so much.

"DEO!-", "Tommy, I'll be fine! Just go! I'm not letting you get hurt anymore!", "NO- Luke! Bitzel! Stop him- dont-".

"Don't go!"

"Just go! Please Sunshine!", Deo yelled, as he shoved a vial into my hands.

"You didn't have to..", I whispered.

"You didn't have to go", I sobbed quietly.

Luke, Bitzel, and Deo-

Sacrificed themselves to destroy red venom, only for it to be remade a year later.

I lost them because of it.

And I'll never get them back.
