The Usual Confusion With Tommyinnit (And Some Others)

The box and the craft

(TW FOR DEREALISATION PLS DONT READ IF THAT MAKES U UNCOMFY!!)

Tommy slammed the door shut as he took the box he found in his locker up to his room. He hoped no one would question why he had it, because he genuinely has no clue. If someone were to ask him, he'd blame ranboob, obviously.

"HEY TOMS" his mum shouts from the living room, probably watching tv or cuddling the dogs, maybe both.

"HEY MUM!" Tommy yells back. He grabs some cola from the fridge and speedruns to his room with the box.

Once he's in, he places the box on his bed and sits beside it, staring nervously.

Tommy is too scared to open it.

Wait. No. Hes not scared. Big man Tommyinnit is never scared. Being scared is for children. And Tommy isnt a child. Hes fucking 16, soon to be 17.

Scared.

He decides to open it later. Ah procrastination my beloved.

Oh fucking hell- he's picked that line up from the Boo. He hates this. He hates everything. This sucks.

His phone vibrates and lights up on his desk. He rolls his eyes amusedly, knowing its his best friend Tubbo, either spam texting or ringing. It's all he ever does to be quite frank. Who the fuck is Frank?

The phone goes silent for like half a moment. Peace.before it starts vibrating like shit. Ah, No peace then.

Haha shit, tommy thought, Tubbo's mad. I am so fucked-

He walks over to his desk to check his phone. And he guessed it, it was Tubbo.

[99+ messages and 10 missed calls from: Bee Boi]

Yup. He's indeed, as he predicted, he's fucked. Tommyinnit is rlly fucked.

His phone starts vibrating just as he picks it up. Its tubbo. He presses answer.

"TOMMY FUCKING INNIT U BETTER FUCKING ANSWER U PIECE OF SH- oh hi Tommy!!!"

Tommy laughs. He laughs and laughs and almost forgets.

Forgets what?

Tommy brushes aside the uneasiness as he continues laughing, the faint sound of tubbo joining in rings in his ears.

« haha what? Sorry, the connection must have been lost. We will have u back online soon. Sorry for the confusion»

As Tommy comes to, he hears Tubbo asking Tommy if hes alright.

"Tommy? Tom? Toms? U good?? Uhhm- should i get Ranboo bc i can totally get him to help-"

"Yeah yeah im fine tubs dw!" Tommy mumbles, still slightly confused and uneasy.

"Oh fuck ur oki thank god holyyy shit i thought u had died" Tubbo jokes, though the tone is still slightly nervous.

Tommy laughs as if nothing had happened at all.

Something had happened?

"Nope! Big man Tommy is still alive and well!" Something felt wrong with that. He couldnt place it. He brushes it to the side.

Whats wrong with that?

[time skip to half an hour later]

"-Uhhhh english homework as well i think.." Ranboo says through a discord call. Tubbo and Tommy let out a disgusted and exhausted groan.

"But i dont wanna boo" Tubbo complains, trying to win Ranboo over. It almost works, Almost.

"Yeah, ranboob, y should we? Theres much more fun things to do." Tommy states seriously, glancing at his pc, knowing the glories it held. Minecraft.. sweet sweet minecraft..

"Becuase I don't want you to fail this year."

Oh yeah, fuck Ranboob, he rlly gotta bring that up huh.

Bring what up?

"Shut the fuck up." Tommy mutters angrily. He doubts Ranboo knows, Tommy himself barely does.

Knows what?

"Sorry Tommy." Ranboo apologises sincerely. Tommy can forget, but not forgive.. wait- its the other way around. Shit. Oh well.

"Its fine," he laughs, he hopes it sounds real, "I gotta go though."

He can hear Ranboo word vomiting a goodbye and Tubbo saluting him off. He smiles slightly. Friends.

"Bye boiis"
"Byee"
"Bye bossmann"

The discord leaving vc sound plays in his ears.

He grabs his headset and plugs it into his pc. He smiles as the familiar screen lights up and the feeling of the keyboard is comfortable as he logs in and opens the most amazing game known to man: Minecraft.

He looks over at the box on his bed. Its a strage thing.

For later, he thinks.

Whens later?
